He complained: "And Elena...I grew up with her, and I can hardly understand her!"
"She clearly knew what Moody and Yingshi were thinking, but she neither explained it to them nor kept her distance from them. She treated them like friends. When men like someone, if you give them a chance, they will think they still have hope. Doesn't she understand this?"
Garcia clinked glasses with him, took a sip of champagne, and said soberly: "Just mind your own business. How can young people grow up without experiencing the pain of love?"
Dowell noticed the green arrogant figure in the crowd, looked at him for a while, and drank a sip of wine. Then he whispered: "I just don't think it's worth it for others."
Garcia and Brown exchanged glances, and seeing the gossip and speculation in each other's eyes, they tacitly did not expose it.
Brown, the calmest of the three, said, "I think today's banquet is not simple. Just wait and see."
…
As the protagonist of tonight's banquet, Ye Wangchuan did not cooperate with Sai Lan to meet the patriarchs of the major forces that assisted the Seron family.
From the moment he came in, he showed a bad attitude of neither cooperating nor resisting, which made Sai Lan frown and want to get angry several times.
Due to the situation, she had to hold back.
The Tenth Elder acted very kindly, and even helped to call away Sai Lan who was trying to reason with him: "Okay, it's normal for young people not to want to join in the fun, we just need to greet the good people."
"Yes, father." Sai Lan seemed to be extremely afraid of the old man. As soon as the old man spoke, she immediately restrained her anger and lowered her head to obey.
"And you." The old man's sharp eyes seemed to have penetrating power, able to see through the secrets deep in people's hearts.
The Tenth Elder looked at the man who refused to cooperate, as if he knew what he was thinking: "She is your mother after all, you should still give her the respect she deserves." Ye Wangchuan raised his eyes, stood there with his back to the railing, his body as tall as jade, his whole body with a lazy temperament, and said proudly: "I have discussed this topic with Ms. Sai Lan. She doesn't want to recognize me, and I happen to have the same idea. In fact, we don't have to get together as a family, it's good for everyone to live our own lives. Don't you agree, Tenth Elder?"
The old man's reaction to being provoked was not anger, but a calm and indifferent look: "You know very well in your heart that only I can give you what you want."
Ye Wangchuan responded with a meaningful look: "Oh? What do I want?"
The tenth elder raised the corner of his lips, smiled without saying a word, and gave him an equally shrewd look, his slender, sharp brown eyes were full of intimidation.
He didn't respond to the topic anymore, but turned to leave.
Before leaving, he looked back at the man who was standing at the railing on the second floor and refused to go down to socialize, as if he was tolerating an ignorant junior.
"Your mother does have some ulterior motives, but she asked you to go down and introduce people to you for your own good. You want to have a place on the island in the future, so you can't mess up your first appearance today. Think about it carefully!"
"… "
Ye Wangchuan didn't answer him and watched his back as he left.
After Sai Lan and the others left, she raised her head, her beautiful eyes as sharp as if they could eat people, and glared fiercely at her son who refused to cooperate.
"I have done everything for you, but you don't appreciate it! I really don't know what kind of magic potion your grandfather's family has given you to make you have such a big grudge against me, your biological mother."
