"He naturally can't compare to you, Second Young Master of Shyr," Mother Lin laughed, disdainfully regarding Jiang Chen without any mercy. The Second Young Master of Shyr signaled a waiter to let Jiang Chen in.
The banquet hall was quite quiet; tonight's engagement party for the wealthy was truly spectacular. Everyone was watching the entrance, waiting for this "shield" to arrive.
After about two minutes, a casually dressed young man walked in with an air of calmness and ease. Upon seeing him, the onlookers couldn't help but shake their heads in amusement; he was indeed an unremarkable nobody. Even Lin Bingbing should have found a better shield; using this one was akin to courting disaster.
It seemed that the Shyr family could dismiss this young man with just a wave of their hand. Lin Bingbing's family sneered upon seeing Jiang Chen actually arrive.
"Bingbing, you’ve put that kid in a difficult position. Is this really the right occasion for him to be here?" Mother Lin said with a hint of mockery in her voice.
Lin Bingbing, however, only looked at Jiang Chen, silent and focused solely on him.
"Master Zhao, Second Young Master of Shyr, that's the kid," Mother Lin directed her gaze toward the Shi Family, ready to insult Jiang Chen further when she suddenly sensed something was off, her voice trailing off abruptly.
The Shi Family's expressions seemed unusual; they looked at Jiang Chen as if he were some significant figure.
"Wait, Mr. Jiang? Is that really you?" Shi Ning was the first to react, astonished and incredulous.
Over two years ago, Jiang Chen had visited the Shyr family, and the Shyr Family Ancestor had treated him with great respect. Shi Gaofeng had naturally shared stories of Jiang Chen's performance at Songnan Martial Arts with his family, leaving a lasting impression on them, including Shi Ning. However, seeing Jiang Chen appear in this capacity tonight left the Shi Family utterly shocked.
"Miss Shi, you know Jiang Chen too?" Lin Bingbing asked in surprise. But after a moment's thought, she realized that Jiang Chen wasn't an ordinary person; it made sense that the Shi Family would know him.
Hearing Lin Bingbing call out Jiang Chen's name so casually made the Shi Family instinctively glance at her with expressions of astonishment as if they had witnessed something extraordinary.
"Uh, what's wrong?" Lin Bingbing asked, feeling confused by their strange looks. She hadn't done anything out of the ordinary.
But it was Shi Shengguang who finally pieced it together. It turned out that Lin Bingbing was Jiang Chen's woman. Even if they had a thousand guts, they wouldn't dare touch Jiang Chen's woman. Moreover, given Jiang Chen's special status and Lin Bingbing being a public figure, such matters could not be handled publicly tonight with so many people around.
"Ahem, I apologize everyone; tonight's engagement banquet is canceled. However, since you're all here, feel free to enjoy yourselves while I attend to some matters," Shi Shengguang announced loudly before walking over to Jiang Chen and respectfully saying, "Mr. Jiang, shall we step aside to talk?"
Jiang Chen nodded in agreement; he preferred not to be the center of attention. The Shi Family surrounded Jiang Chen as they moved into a room, with Lin Bingbing and her family following closely behind.
Seeing the current situation, Lin Bingbing's family could roughly deduce what was happening. It seemed that Jiang Chen was indeed as significant as Lin Bingbing had claimed.
"Bingbing, this kid—uh—Mr. Jiang knows the Shyr family? Why didn't you mention it earlier? If I had known sooner, I wouldn't have treated him like that tonight!" Mother Lin whispered regretfully in her daughter's ear.
