Jiang An’s calm attitude made Zhao Yan unable to say anything. He could only give up on this topic.
“Then we’ll go in.” Jiang An held Zou Bai’s arm and smiled.
After entering, Zou Bai said, “An’an, you’re really amazing. I saw that Zhao Yan almost couldn’t maintain his expression just now.”
“It’s fine if he’s just targeting me, but he had to use the children as a topic of conversation. I’m saying that this is letting him off too easily,” Jiang An said.
Her ability to talk was increasing day by day. Ordinary people would not be able to withstand her sarcasm.
Before they could say anything else, someone came over to talk to them. “Zou Bai, you’re getting married soon. You still have time to attend the banquet. Looks like you’re not busy enough.”
This person dared to speak to Zou Bai in a teasing tone. It was obvious that he was somebody familiar.
Zou Bai smiled when he faced his family, but he was still expressionless to outsiders. He was much gentler to this person. “Wang Mian, if you’re free, come and help. I’ll leave everything to you.”
Wang Mian shook his head. “I’m not going. You definitely won’t pay me.”
After saying that, he immediately lowered his head slightly to Jiang An. “If this beautiful lady invites me, I’ll definitely go.”
Zou Bai looked at him. “You think you’re living too long, right?”
“I still want to live to a hundred years old.” Wang Mian took two steps back. “It’s just a joke.”
Zou Bai introduced him to Jiang An. “This is Wang Mian, the heir of the Ying Chuan Wang family. He was also an alumnus of my university back then.”
Jiang An extended her hand and said, “Hello, I’m Jiang An.”
Wang Mian stopped joking and greeted Jiang An seriously.
Although her self-introduction was very simple, it was completely based on her. It was not someone’s child or fiancee, but Jiang An.
This meant that she had complete self-respect and thought of herself as an independent personality.
Not many daughters of aristocratic families had such awareness. They were different from ordinary girls. From a young age, the family had taught them to prioritize the honor of the family. Their lives had to be entrusted to others. At home, they had to rely on their parents and when they got married, they would rely on their husbands.
Wang Mian smiled and said, “Miss Jiang An is really admirable.”
“Me?” Jiang An didn’t understand his statement.
Wang Mian did not explain anything. He just chatted with her about some harmless topics.
Zhao Yan noticed the situation here and walked over. “The banquet is about to officially begin. Everyone is chatting so happily. What are you talking about?” Wang Mian suddenly stopped talking. It was obvious that he did not like him. Zhao Yan remembered this reaction in his heart, but he still pretended not to care.
In the past, when Zhao Yan compared himself to Zou Bai, he would always subconsciously imitate him, causing him to put on a very cold appearance.
However, Zou Bai always had friends by his side. He was the only one who acted alone.
Even the heir of the Wang family had a good relationship with him. He surrounded him every day and chatted about something. Zhao Yan wanted to rope in Wang Mian. This way, he could be considered to have won against Zou Bai.
However, Wang Mian’s attitude towards him had never been good. He could not even say a few words to rope him in. As long as he saw him, he would find an opportunity to leave.
As for the Li family in Ji Zhou, their personality was even stranger. They only stayed in domestic universities for a year and then went overseas without any news.
It was said that they would be back this year, but the Li family had not mentioned this matter until now. It seemed to be just a rumor.
This time, it was another child from the Li family’s side branch who attended the banquet. He sat there like a mascot and smiled at everyone, but if they were to talk about anything else, he would know nothing.
“Why did you stop speaking the moment I arrived?” Zhao Yan asked.
Wang Mian grinned. “I’m tired of speaking, let’s sit down and have something to drink.”
After saying that, he walked elsewhere. It was obvious that he wanted to ignore him to the end.
Zhao Yan really wanted to lose his temper, but Luo Xuan came out with the child in her arms. He knew that he had to endure it no matter what. After all, this banquet was meant to introduce Tan Nian to everyone.
If it was just for Zhao Yan himself, Luo Xuan would never have agreed to hold such a big banquet.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yan felt angry. He was about the same age as Zou Bai, but he still had to be restrained by his mother. He couldn’t even make the decision for a banquet.
He had to think of a way to snatch the power from Luo Xuan’s hands and become the real head of the Zhao family.
When Jiang An saw Tan Nian being carried out, she said in surprise, “Are they going to acknowledge this child?”
The birth of a child from an aristocratic family and being recognized were two different things. Tan Nian, who was born outside, needed the family’s recognition even more. Previously, the Zhao family had not reacted for a long time. Everyone thought that Tan Nian would always be an illegitimate child, but now, it seemed like that was not the case.
