Pei Yu hated her so much. Liang Yan took out the tissue from her dress and held it tightly in her hand.
Liang Yan looked at Pei Yu's back as he gradually disappeared around the corner. She was so cold that her entire body was trembling. The pain in her heart made her take out the medicine from her bag and swallow it.
Humiliation, grief, and anger were mixed with a thin layer of hatred. She took a long time to stand up and did not see Pei Yong's complicated gaze behind her.
This woman was really interesting. He happened to witness his brother stuffing a tissue into her chest. She definitely did not gain anything from his brother, but she should be sick.
However, the faint coldness and hatred in her eyes made her innocent face even more vivid and shockingly beautiful.
Pei Yong shook his head and sighed. What a waste of her innocent face. All she could think about was her daydream of climbing up the social ladder.
The rich children in the circle basically had their paths set for them. It was difficult for them to have any autonomy in who they wanted to marry. Other than spending money like dirt and living carefreely, their entire life could be seen at a glance.
In the end, Pei Yong did not walk forward. Instead, he turned around and walked to another elevator entrance.
Liang Yan stood up and slowly walked into the banquet hall in disappointment.
She only dared to stand in a secluded corner and saw that Chen Yuan was already standing beside Pei Yu, holding his arm intimately. Pei Yu let her hold his arm as he said something indifferently to others.
"President Pei's relationship with his fiancée is really extraordinary. He's willing to come and support her today," a woman said to the man beside her.
The man smiled and said, "Looks like the Chen family is determined to get that piece of land in the northern suburbs. Pei Yu's stance is already so obvious."
Liang Yan's attention was all on the word 'fiancée'. She suppressed the bitterness in her heart and comforted herself that this was what she should do.
Pei Yu had waited for Chen Yuan for so many years and even used her as a substitute. He would not let Chen Yuan go again.
"His stance?" A woman sneered. "The Jiang family's strength is more than double that of the Chen family. How dare a lousy Chen family compete with the Jiang family?"
The two people who had just spoken looked at the woman. The man replied indifferently, "That might not be the case. The second son of the Pei family has never had a woman. This Chen Yuan is the first."
The woman flicked her long, curly black hair and glanced at Chen Yuan. She said coldly, "Her looks are just mediocre." As she spoke, she turned her head and saw Liang Yan. Her gaze paused for a moment before she smiled and said, "She's not as good-looking as her."
These words were too direct. The few people beside them turned to look at Liang Yan as if they were watching a show. Then, their gazes were filled with amazement.
A man walked towards Liang Yan and said elegantly, "Which family's daughter is this lady from? Why haven't I seen you before?"
Liang Yan only looked at Pei Yu in the distance. He was lowering his head and looking at Chen Yuan. There was a rare gentleness in his eyes, as if he treated Chen Yuan as the most precious treasure.
Not long after, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. Her lips were pale, so she naturally did not hear the man's words.
The man continued to smile and asked, "Can I add you on WeChat?"
Only then did Liang Yan look up. Her eyes were moist and adorable, but they were very indifferent. She was about to reject him when the woman beside the man suddenly pulled the man away. She did not forget to mock Liang Yan, "Maybe she's a wild woman who came from somewhere to seduce men. You actually dare to take such a woman. You're really not picky."
The few people who were chatting just now looked at Liang Yan strangely and whispered something.
Over the past few days, Liang Yan had been through a lot. Her body was already in a state of overdraft.
Liang Yan only felt that her vision was a little blurry, and cold sweat broke out on her back. She took two steps forward, but she could not stand steadily and fell straight back. With a thud, Liang Yan hit the ground and fainted.
"Yanyan!" As soon as Jiang Sheng saw the commotion, he put down his wine glass and ran towards the place where Liang Yan had fainted.
Pei Yu heard the commotion and looked over with a heavy gaze. The moment he saw Liang Yan fall to the ground, his gaze instantly darkened. He turned around and wanted to rush over, but Chen Yuan, who was beside him, pulled him back. "Ah Yu, where are you going?"
Chen Yuan also looked over, but it was already surrounded by people, so she couldn't see anything.
Pei Yu stood there without moving. In the blink of an eye, his eyes returned to normal, leaving only indifference. He casually glanced over and said coldly, "What happened over there? Let's go and take a look."
With that, he brought Chen Yuan over.
