Lin Shengxia tilted her head, recalling as she spoke, "Twenty years ago, during Yan Family’s old master’s sixtieth birthday! At that time, my daddy hadn’t gone bankrupt and was among the invited crowd! So, I came once with my daddy! I was very young then, so my memory is a bit hazy! However, I remember very clearly hiding behind my daddy, too scared to come out when I saw Yan Family’s old master!"

Ling Yueyue laughed and said, "Did you feel Yan Family’s old master was terrifying? Intimidating?"

Lin Shengxia nodded timidly, saying, "Yes! I’ve never seen someone so authoritative and unapproachable! Especially his eyes, which were piercing and seemed to see through everything repeatedly!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yueyue glanced at Ye Anxin intentionally, saying, "Then compared to Mu Beiting, who is scarier?"

"...!" Lin Shengxia froze slightly, instinctively looking at Ye Anxin!

Ye Anxin frowned, displeased, and said, "Yueyue, what are you saying?"

Ling Yueyue grinned widely, "I was just joking! I asked this question just to tell you that Yan Family’s old master is a famously formidable figure! He ran Yan Country Group for decades until a few years ago when he selected Yan Qinghan from several sons as the heir! Before Yan Qinghan, Yan Family’s old master personally managed Yan Country Group! I guess Yan Family’s old master was very meticulous in choosing an heir! Otherwise, the position of Yan Country Group’s leader would never fall on the son of a concubine! This proves Yan Family’s old master’s unique vision, unbiased in selecting an heir, and his personal preferences never influenced Yan Country Group’s development!"

At this point, Xia Yunmo, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "Watching Mr. Yan and his wife’s performance earlier, they really aren’t capable of bearing great responsibility! As heirs of a group, lacking even the most basic tolerance and patience, how can they undertake significant tasks?"

Ling Yueyue laughed heartily, excitedly, "Haha! Yan Qinghan has many siblings; I haven’t seen them all, but I’ve seen a lot of entertainment news about their family’s power struggles! Absolutely more spectacular than TV dramas!"

Seeing this, Ye Anxin couldn’t help but roll her eyes, "Yueyue, how do you know so much about Yan Family? Why do I feel like you’re a daughter-in-law of Yan Family?"

Xia Yunmo and Lin Shengxia nodded in agreement.

Ling Yueyue pouted disdainfully, "Do you think I’m like you? I might not have eaten pork but have surely seen pigs! Yan Family is high-profile, almost occupying weekly headlines!" Saying that, she couldn’t help but look at Xia Yunmo and Lin Shengxia, "I understand she hasn’t seen them, but have you two never seen them either?"

Xia Yunmo and Lin Shengxia shook their heads simultaneously, "No, we never pay attention to that!"

Hearing their response, Ling Yueyue couldn’t help but feel a bit defeated, "Alright! You all defeated me! Seems I’m too gossipy!"

Ye Anxin smiled, pursing her lips, skewered a piece of cantaloupe with a toothpick, and took a bite. Suddenly, a figure flashed before her eyes!

Ye Anxin froze slightly, wanting to see clearly, but that figure had already disappeared!

Ye Anxin stretched her neck, carefully scanning the banquet hall, still unable to find that figure!

How could she see her here?

Was she also an invited guest of Yan Family?

How is that possible?

Absolutely impossible!

Thinking of this, Ye Anxin shook her head vigorously, continuously comforting herself inwardly, that she must have misseen earlier, perhaps the figure merely resembled, and wasn’t the person she knew!

Noticing her odd expression, Ling Yueyue asked concerned, "Anxin, what’s wrong? You were fine earlier, why does your face suddenly look so bad?"

Ye Anxin shook her head, smilingly said, "I’m fine! Maybe standing for too long, my body can’t take it!"

Xia Yunmo quickly said, "There are chairs over there; let’s help you over to rest for a while!"

"Hmm!" Ye Anxin nodded, carrying the plate with the three of them over to a corner to sit.

Although Mu Beiting was standing with Huo Junmo and others, he hadn’t spoken the entire time, his sights constantly following Ye Anxin!

Unable to endure it anymore, Huo Junmo couldn’t help but speak, "Hey, Beiting, don’t worry! Little sister-in-law is with Yueyue, she’ll be fine!"

Xiang Qingshi also chimed in, "Yes! Since earlier, you’ve been absent-minded! Our wives are all with the little sister-in-law! We’re not worried, why are you?"

Gu Xingchen followed with, "Right! Don’t worry! They are all together; nothing will happen!"

Mu Beiting coldly swept them a glance, lips tightly pressed, although saying nothing, he still withdrew his sight from Ye Anxin!

Ye Anxin sat with Ling Yueyue, Xia Yunmo, and Lin Shengxia, chatting about everything under the sun!

After Ye Anxin finished the fruits in her plate, Ling Yueyue volunteered to get fruits for her!

Ling Yueyue stood up with the plate, passing in front of Ye Anxin, heading toward the buffet area!

The moment Ling Yueyue passed before Ye Anxin, Ye Anxin clearly saw a person standing not far behind Ling Yueyue, and that person was the figure that had flashed before her eyes earlier!

If she thought it was an illusion earlier, this time she truly saw it!

That person stood among the crowd, stretching her neck, looking around, seemingly searching for something!

After looking around, she suddenly turned and walked deeper into the crowd!

Seeing her leave, Ye Anxin instinctively stood up, intending to pursue her!

Fortunately, Xia Yunmo promptly stopped her, "Miss Ye, where are you going?"

Being questioned by Xia Yunmo, Ye Anxin shivered coldly, suddenly jolting awake, turned back and glanced at Xia Yunmo, and then looked at the place earlier, but the person had already left!

Seeing her looking troubled, Xia Yunmo couldn’t help but ask concernedly, "Miss Ye, what happened? You were fine earlier; where are you intending to go?"

"I...I...!" Ye Anxin froze, realizing she had stood up without knowing.

Xia Yunmo glanced at where Ye Anxin looked but saw nothing, "What did you see? Did you see an acquaintance?"

Ye Anxin sat back in her seat, said with unusual meaning, "Seems so... yet seems not! Too far, too many people, hard to see clearly!"

Xia Yunmo worriedly reminded, "Miss Ye, you are still pregnant! Be more careful, don’t wander around! Otherwise, Mr. Mu will worry!"
