nFu Hang wanted to compliment Shen Yan as well, but his words got stuck in his mouth. After all, he had never been able to praise people outright.

nFu Hang and Lu Yan standing together had already attracted a lot of attention. The circle of the upper class was only this big, and everyone probably knew each other and was aware of each other’s scandals.

nFu Hang and Lu Yan had fought since they were kids, and Lu Yan was currently pursuing Fu Hang’s ex-wife.

nHence, everyone looked at them when they came in. Later, upon seeing Shen Yan walk up to them, all of their attention was on them.

nEveryone felt that a good show was about to begin. They wanted to know who Shen Yan would choose among her old and new love.

nAfter greeting them, Shen Yan left them in the care of Miss Na. She slightly raised her wine glass at them and smiled. “Please excuse me. Make yourselves at home.”

nAfter saying that, she turned around and left. From afar, she saw Chen Nian coming in together with her parents.

n“Hello Uncle, Auntie.”

nSeeing this, the crowd thought that Shen Yan did not choose anyone. They then realized that she went to greet the Chen family upon seeing her talk to Chen Nian’s parents. It was not that she did not care about those two men.

nThe Shen family was close to the Chen family. The Chen family was also dependent on the Shen family. Hence, Chen Nian’s parents would definitely come over for Shen Kun’s 50th birthday.

nChen Hui nodded politely.

nXiao Yang looked at Shen Yan with a smile and complimented genuinely, “Yanyan has grown even more beautiful now!”

nChen Nian took Xiao Yang’s arm and said helplessly, “Mom, can you not continue staring at Yanyan? Everyone would think that you’re pursuing Yanyan too if you weren’t a woman.”

nXiao Yang had always liked good-looking people. After all, the reason she married Chen Hui was that he was handsome. She tilted her head to look at Chen Nian, unable to hide the disappointment in her eyes.

nChen Nian rolled her eyes silently and complained softly, “Mom, I know I’m not good-looking, but you can’t just blame me for that! I could have looked like a goddess if you and Dad’s genes were strong enough!!”

nHearing the mother and daughter duo talking about her looks again, Shen Yan smiled a little helplessly.

nThen, Xiao Yang sighed and added, “Niannian, it’s your own fault for not working hard enough and growing to look like this!”

nXiao Yang felt really sad. Her daughter was indeed good-looking, but she really paled in front of Shen Yan. How she wished that Shen Yan was her daughter too.

n“Uncle, Auntie, why don’t I take you upstairs so you guys can rest for a while? The banquet won’t start until later.” Shen Yan smiled and stepped out to smooth things over.

nShe was long used to the way Xiao Yang and Chen Nian talked to each other.

n“No need for that, Yanyan. You can continue with what you were doing. Don’t worry about us.” Xiao Yang said gently with a smile.

nBefore Shen Yan could say anything, Xiao Yang pushed Chen Nian to her.

n“Niannian, go and help Yanyan.” Then, Xiao Yang turned her head and held Chen Hui’s arm as they walked to the side. She said bitterly, “Hubby, do you think that Niannian is our biological child? Why does she look so ugly?”

nChen Nian’s face instantly darkened.

nChen Hui thought seriously for a moment before turning to look at Xiao Yang. He comforted, “Why don’t we do a paternity test some other day? We can’t raise the wrong child again.”

nChen Nian was rendered speechless by their conversation.

nShen Yan smiled and held Chen Nian’s arm, as they walked toward the crowd. She comforted her softly, “There are snacks that you like to eat here today. I got someone to make them for you specially.”

n“Yanyan, am I their biological child?” Chen Nian pouted and said sadly, “Those two people are heartless enough to take me for a paternity test once a year!”

nShen Yan’s smile widened, as she replied, “It’s just a medical examination. How did it become a paternity test in your words?”

n“You! Don’t tease me!” Chen Nian’s mood gradually improved, and she looked at the two men in the distance. “Those two men have been staring at you!”
