Most likely, it was for the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings. This thought filled Jin Jiangming with a sense of dread towards Zeng Xianyi. After all, Zeng Xianyi was an official representative, and Jin Jiangming had spent twelve years locked up by the authorities. Many of his antiques had been confiscated and sealed, so it was natural for him to feel fear towards someone from the government.
Seeing Zeng Xianyi arrive today made Jin Jiangming's heart unwelcome. The once clear skies of his mind were suddenly overshadowed by dark clouds. However, he concealed his feelings well and greeted Zeng Xianyi with a smile.
"I've come to celebrate your birthday," Zeng Xianyi said with a grin.
"That truly is an honor for me. Since you're here, if you and your companions don't mind, please stay and have a meal," Jin Jiangming replied cheerfully.
"Then I shall impose," Zeng Xianyi said politely before turning to Jiang Chen.
However, Jiang Chen remained silent.
Jin Jiangming noticed this peculiar scene; both Zeng Xianyi and Qin Xiaoya seemed to revolve around Jiang Chen. Nevertheless, Jin Jiangming had made up his mind not to get too entangled with Zeng Xianyi. If he couldn't provoke them, he could at least avoid them.
He planned to wait until the birthday celebration was over and then head abroad for a vacation the next day.
"Zeng Lao, Miss Qin, enjoy your meal. I must attend to other guests and cannot stay," Jin Jiangming excused himself before leaving.
"Mr. Jiang."
"Young Master."
Zeng Xianyi and Qin Xiaoya spoke almost in unison, puzzled as to why Jiang Chen hadn't inquired about the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings.
"After the birthday celebration ends and the crowd disperses, we can sit down with Old Jin and have a good chat," Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"Mr. Jiang is indeed thoughtful," Zeng Xianyi nodded.
For Jiang Chen, getting Jin Jiangming to voluntarily disclose information about the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings was simple enough. However, with so many people around, he preferred not to stir up trouble. There was no rush; after dinner, he could find Jin Jiangming again.
Finding a random spot to sit down, Qin Xiaoya had barely settled in when several men approached her to strike up conversations. Of course, some recognized her as well.
"I didn't expect Old Jin's connections to be this strong; that beauty is none other than Qin Xiaoya from the Qin family, now the true leader of the family. She came to celebrate Old Jin's birthday! I just can't believe Old Jin would seat her in such an inconspicuous spot," someone whispered.
"Is that her? I heard she's an ice queen; seeing her today confirms it. Those clueless guys actually think they can get her contact information—it's laughable! What kind of taste does Miss Qin have that she would even look at those guys?"
Although Qin Xiaoya was quite famous in high society in the capital, most of those present were mid-level figures who had rarely seen her before. If everyone knew her well enough, they probably wouldn't dare approach her either.
"Miss, may I sit at this table?"
"Get lost!"
"Miss, I am the owner of the Jade Pavilion at Panjiayuan. I have a small pendant that would suit you perfectly. I would like to give it to you."
"Get lost!"
"Miss, I..."
"Get lost."
Qin Xiaoya's expression had turned as cold as ice, her eyes filled with a menacing intent. How could these oblivious fools dare to approach her? Their audacity only served to irritate her further.
Zeng Xianyi stood nearby, holding a teacup, gazing up at the sky with a smile playing on his lips. Jiang Chen casually picked at some fruits and candied snacks on the table, completely indifferent to Qin Xiaoya's predicament.
It seemed that Qin Xiaoya had to handle this herself.
