Paranoid Girlfriend[GL] - (Travel through books)

Chapter 134: Shan Yaxin 54

On the way, there was no traffic jam, and they arrived at the villa in less than an hour.

Inside, there were many people chatting and laughing while dressed elegantly and gracefully.

Dai Shiyuan looked around and realized she didn't know anyone there.

"Xiaoyuan, let's go in," Shan Yaxin said with a light smile, taking Dai Shiyuan's arm.

"Wait a minute." Dai Wenhao caught up and stopped in front of them. "She's coming in with me."

Hearing this, Dai Shiyuan frowned in confusion and looked at Shan Yaxin for an explanation.

Shan Yaxin looked displeased, but she had no choice but to let go of Dai Shiyuan's arm.

The banquet at the Chen family was supposed to be a gathering of young people, but it was actually an exchange between the major families.

Behind the friendly conversations and laughter were more interests at play.

Dai Shiyuan's father wanted to introduce their family's heiress to the outside world, and Dai Wenhao was the best person to do so.

"Xiaoyuan, we'll see you later." Shan Yaxin smiled and quickly walked ahead to put some distance between them.

Dai Shiyuan stood in place, feeling lost among the many unfamiliar faces.

She glanced at Dai Wenhao and saw that her older brother was frowning in a certain direction.

Following his gaze, Dai Shiyuan saw Shan Yaxin chatting and laughing with a man as they walked away side by side.

Judging from his back, the man was probably the second male lead, Chen Xiao.

"Let's go," Dai Wenhao said coldly, retracting his gaze.

Dai Shiyuan could sense his dissatisfaction and anger from those two simple words, so she kept her mouth shut and silently followed behind him.

Entering the villa, Dai Shiyuan was immediately dazzled by the luxurious colors.

She looked around for Shan Yaxin's figure but couldn't spot her amidst the crowd of people walking around.

"Don't look around like you've never seen the world before," Dai Wenhao scolded her in a low voice, taking a drink and walking towards the center of the room.

Dai Shiyuan rolled her eyes at his words but maintained a polite smile and followed him.

Along the way, people would stop and greet Dai Wenhao, but he didn't reply to everyone.

Dai Shiyuan, unlike her arrogant older brother, would politely smile and respond.

After following him around for a while, Dai Shiyuan's smile became stiff, and she forgot the names and faces of the people she had just met, even with the male lead introducing her to them.

The male lead introduced her to a lot of people, but she forgot their names and faces in a flash.

"I've already introduced you to the most influential group of people here. The rest is up to you. Marry any one of them, and you'll live a life of luxury and prosperity for the rest of your days," Dai Wenhao said coldly.

Dai Shiyuan's mouth twitched as she nodded perfunctorily.

From then on, the male lead didn't pay any attention to her and engaged in conversation with the others, holding his cup.

Dai Shiyuan heaved a sigh of relief and, when no one was looking, sneaked into an empty corner outside.

Compared to pretending to be familiar with unfamiliar people, she preferred being alone and enjoying the tranquility.
