Chapter 399 -398: Jingjing Iron Triangle

The surrounding guys burst into laughter.

Mo Si and Mo Nie were used to this, smiling without saying anything.

In the entire Jinjing, there were too many people wanting to cling onto Mr.

Mo’s coattails.

Men and women, one after another.

Shen Yihe threw down a pair of cards, overcoming Yan Zheng’s hand, and shook his head as he said in a low voice, “You, forget about it in this lifetime.

Even if Mr.

Mo liked men, you wouldn’t be his first choice!”

Yan Zheng opened his mouth, now genuinely depressed.

The Yan Family, the Shen Family, they were first-tier families in Jinjing.

The two brothers from the Wa Family were second-tier.

In others’ eyes, they were all extremely noble combinations, but in reality, compared to the three true Supreme Clans—the Xiao Family, the Ye Family, the Li Family—they weren’t on the same level at all.

These people were here thanks to the light shone on them by Young Master Ye Jinwen, which gave them the chance to meet Mr.

Mo.

Other families didn’t even have the opportunity to see Mr.

Mo’s face.

Now, having the chance to dine with Mr.

Mo was a rare opportunity.

But if it had been in the past, they would have had even less of a chance.

The relations of the Jingjing Iron Triangle weren’t something anyone could just interfere with.

In the past, Mr.

Mo from the Xiao Family, Young Master Ye from the Ye Family, and Brother Yun from the Yun Family were as close as brothers, famous figures within Jinjing City.

In their wild youth, who wouldn’t have wanted to establish ties with their iron triangle?

But among those three, aside from Young Master Ye being somewhat approachable, the other two were notoriously difficult to get close to.

If the Yun Family hadn’t run into trouble later on, even dropping out of the ranks of the supreme clans, they still wouldn’t have had the chance to meet Mr.

Mo, let alone eat with him.

The group of young masters looked at each other, with indescribable emotions.

As they were chatting, the door to the private room opened.

Everyone turned their eyes towards it in unison.

They thought Xiao Qimo had returned, but to their surprise, a young woman in her early twenties walked in.

She wore a light down jacket, dressed simply, with long black hair flowing down her back, exuding a gentle and virtuous appearance, with a modest smile on her face as she walked in.

Mo Si and Mo Nie exchanged glances and nodded as a greeting.

Shen Yihe was the first to stand up, “Xinxin, you’re here.”

Yan Zheng and the others got up one after another, and upon realizing who she was, their faces brightened with smiles.

The guest was Shen Yihe’s sister, Shen Yixin, and also the fiancée of Ye Jinwen.

They all knew each other, and their conversations were quite casual.

“Xinxin, come over and sit.”

“Xinxin, how did you come here?”

“I took a taxi.”

Yan Zheng nudged Shen Yihe, “Old Shen, really, how could you let your sister come here alone!

You could’ve picked her up, or you could’ve told me—I would’ve picked her up for you!”

Shen Yihe chuckled, “My fault.”

Shen Yixin stood beside her brother, her voice gentle and forthright, “My brother offered to pick me up, but I didn’t agree.

Running back and forth is tiring, and there’s often traffic on the road.”

“If you don’t want your brother to pick you up, Young Master Ye could have— he’s here today too!”

Young Master Ye…

Shen Yixin, hearing this name suddenly, paused, her left hand clad in white lace gloves stiffening, and she glanced at her brother with some confusion.

Shen Yihe looked away and didn’t meet her gaze.

Shen Yixin understood and said with a gentle smile, “It’s alright, taking a taxi is very convenient nowadays.

Everyone, please sit down.

I brought back some gifts for you all from O Continent, they’re at home.

I’ll have my brother bring them to you another day.”

“Thanks, Xinxin.”

“Old Shen, having such a gentle and considerate sister, I’m truly envious of you.”

“Young Master Ye is lucky to marry Xinxin, who is so gentle and considerate.”

Shen Yihe, with his sister’s shoulder in his grasp, walked into the room.

“Of course, my sister is the best sister in the world.”

As a few people were talking, footsteps were heard from the corridor outside the private room.

“Now it should be Mr.

Mo and Young Master Ye.”

After Yan Zheng finished speaking, he even gave Shen Yixin a wink.

Shen Yixin hurriedly looked away and stepped back into the crowd.

Xiao Qimo and Ye Jinwen arrived.

Yan Zheng and the others respectfully greeted them.

After Xiao Qimo said, “Don’t be formal,” everyone relaxed a bit.

Ye Jinwen, who was cheerfully greeting his brothers, froze when he saw Shen Yixin standing at the back of the crowd.

Perhaps it was because his emotions changed too quickly, he quickly realized his gaffe and forced a smile, saying awkwardly, “Yixin, why are you here, too?”

Shen Yixin didn’t speak; instead, Shen Yihe spoke up first.

“Young Master Ye, it must have been a year since you and Xinxin last met.

You are engaged, how can you go years without seeing each other?”

Ye Jinwen didn’t know what to say.

“I’ve been away on business, and it’s been quite busy.”

“Me too,” Shen Yixin chimed in.

“I’ve been in O Continent the whole time, barely having time to return home.

I’m sorry, Brother Ye!”

“…”

Their remarks were obviously making excuses for Ye Jinwen.

Ye Jinwen caught on, took a deep breath, and his smile became more forced.

“Let’s sit down and eat.”

Xiao Qimo glanced at Ye Jinwen indifferently, and seeing him struggle, took out his phone without much emotion and wrote in his notes: Reject arranged marriages.

After sitting down, the atmosphere at the dining table livened up a lot.

Most of the time it was Yan Zheng and the others talking, with Xiao Qimo listening quietly and occasionally responding.

Ye Jinwen was pushed to sit next to Shen Yixin.

Although he was caught off guard and met his fiancée Shen Yixin unexpectedly, and although his heart was filled with resistance, he still courteously and patiently took care of her.

Like picking out food, removing bones, and serving soup, he did it all meticulously.

Truth be told, Ye Jinwen really is a good man.

Serious, responsible, with a sense of justice, and very attentive.

In his free time, he also livens up the atmosphere.

To be his fiancée, everyone else is truly envious.

Just that…

Shen Yixin, looking at his forced smile and watching him meticulously arrange everything for her, simply lost her appetite.

She excused herself to go to the bathroom halfway through the meal to temporarily leave the table.

The guys all jeered, telling Ye Jinwen to follow her out.

Ye Jinwen hesitated before finally giving in and chasing after her.

At the bathroom door.

Shen Yixin washed her hands slowly, seemingly dragging out the time.

Her removed lace gloves sat to the side as she quietly looked at her not-so-pretty left hand, lost in thought.

The water flowed continuously.

Leaning against the wall outside, Ye Jinwen, after an unknown period, finally said faintly, “Yixin, come out.”

His emotions were heavy and complex.

Separated by a door, a gentle female voice came from the other side, “I didn’t know you were coming too, I’m sorry.

I know you don’t want to see me.”

“It’s not that, you’ve misunderstood,” Ye Jinwen clumsily explained.

“I just…

don’t know how to face you.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll leave soon after the new year and won’t stay in Jinjing.”

“You…”

Ye Jinwen felt even guiltier.
