Nian Xi thought she heard him wrong, “I thought you didn’t care for the Ye family? Ma is always pleading you to go to their events, what’s gotten over you today?”
“Yeah, I didn’t want to go, but grandma nagged at me. I was thinking that I should be more filial and get to know her side of the family better since she’s so old already.”
Nian Junting said nobly, “I’ll take over the Zhong Zhou Group Corporation when Ma retires, I should maintain an amicable relationship with Ye Dongwei. He is, after all, a senior executive at the company.”
“Oh...” Nian Xi blinked her eyes, she thought her brother’s excuse was kind of suspicious.

“Later, I’m not done with work yet.”
“How long more do you need?”
“About forty minutes?” Nian Xi looked at her watch.
“...It’s quite rude to arrive late at someone else’s party, how about half an hour from now? I’ll be at the entrance of the police post,” Nian Junting scolded her.
“I have things I need to take care of, I told Chuen beforehand. If you’re worried about being late, you can go ahead first,” Nian Xi said matter-of-factly, she found it strange that he was being so persistent.
“Anyway, I am the daughter of the Zhong Zhou Group Corporation CEO, I am a VIP at the party. VIPs always arrive later than the normal folks.”
“...” action
“See ya,” Nian Xi put down her phone and started keying in information into the computer.
She was finally done with her work after half an hour when another police officer brought a burglar into the station. After taking down his statement, Nian Junting called her, “It’s been fifty minutes, I’m here. Come down now.”
“It’s going to take me a while more.”
“Nian Xi, it’s already 6.30pm,” Nian Junting was gritting down on his teeth, she was testing his patience, “The party is starting without us.”
Any later, he would be missing Luosang’s welcoming address, he hadn’t managed to put Xiao Si next to her to guard her. Any later, she would surely be surrounded by pesky suitors.
“I have to register a case over here, someone just got arrested,” Nian Xi sighed, “You can go ahead, you know?”
“I thought about it, I’m an even more important VIP than you are, I have to arrive after you to show my status.”
“...”

“You... good on you,” Nian Xi felt her reflux acting up as she tried hard to control her temper, why was her brother acting so crazy?
...
At the Ye villa.
The sound of melodious violin filled every corner of the estate, Luosang was sitting beneath a tree and having some finger food. She was rehearsing her lines for later in her head.
The occasion seemed quite casual and homely, but she knew that the attendees were all senior executives from the Zhong Zhou Group Corporation and their family members. Most of the guests were millionaires.
“Hey, did you see him, that man looked like Chen Fanxing, that famous pop singer!” Yan Su pointed at a man standing in the lawn, “Woah, I didn’t know that Chuen invited him!”
“She invited many popular influencers from Weibo as well,” Chi Shengxu leaned against the tree trunk, “I wouldn’t have come if I had known. Sansan, you didn’t have agreed to host this event.”
“Yeah,” Yan Su looked worried as well, “It’ll be good if everything went smoothly, but if anything goes wrong, all these famous people...”
“It’s ok, I have confidence in my ability,” Luosang gave them a slight smile, she went to plenty of big events with her father in the past, she didn’t feel any stage fright.
