"What?"
"I didn't expect it to last this long. I thought that it's going to end sooner." Yu Yan showed a helpless yet mischievous smile.
"That will need to wait a few more months. You just need to be patience." Long Ying pinched Yu Yan's nose tenderly. Her move was indeed slow, which was why Bao Tu would not notice that there was something wrong until it was too late. Of course, he had no intention of telling that annoying man about it.
Besides, if there was anything wrong, Bao Tu would have already noticed it back then. Since it has been going well so far, it was less likely for Bao Tu to even realize about it now.
Yu Yan pursed her lips.. "What are you going to do if he notices it?"
"He won't."
Long Ying knew for sure that Bao Tu would not have any time to even pay a visit to the mine because his booming company would surely take all of his attention away. There was no time for him to care because there would be other shareholders who were taking care of it.
One of them would be his own wife. If he was not wrong, Kang Mao Lan gave part of her share to Yu Xin, which made the couple become the biggest profit shareholder for AB mine.
"He better not."
The two of them walked inside the hotel. Yu Yan showed her invitation then she was ushered inside. There were already a lot of people inside from various family, especially those who were at the upper class society. It seemed that there were a lot of people who decided to come just because of Bao Family title.
"Will Long Family come?" Yu Yan asked curiously. Her eyes landed on the wine section as she pursed her lips. She wanted to drink some, but she knew that it would be impossible for her to even taste it right now.
"Unlikely."
Long Family will not place much importance in Bao Family matters. The only person in Bao Family whom they would pay some attention would be Bao Wang. The others were not important as they couldn't even evoke even the slightest interest from Long Family.
It was safe to say that no one from Long Family would care even if Bao Tu were to suddenly die and hit the headlines.
Yu Yan's lips twitched when she heard what Long Ying said. It seemed that Long Family standing was higher than what she previously thought. They were also more arrogant than what she knew.
Well, with their position, it was clear that they would not have the time to care either.
"Other families?"
Long Ying squinted his eyes. "The smaller families wouldn't dare to ignore the invitation. The bigger ones will likely also send their representative to show their faces but it might not be their family head unless they placed high importance on Bao Tu."
"Oh."
Yu Yan was not that familiar with all the upper class society in City A. She only knew some of them who had interacted with her in the past when she was staying with her grandfather. The others were more of a stranger to her. Added with the fact that there were a lot of businessman… it was highly impossible for her to even remember them all.
After drinking some juice, Yu Yan mostly stayed at the side. She watched expressionlessly when Yu Xin stood at the front and gave touching story about how she met with her husband. There was even video that was made for the two of them to showcase their relationship with each other.
Some of the guests knew of the incident but majority of them didn't know. After all, it happened at the Capital City and thus, only some of them even remembered how it occurred.
"Yan'er!"
Raising her head, Yu Yan noticed Zhou Wei was rushing in her direction. She smiled faintly and waved her hand in response. "Zhou Wei, it's been awhile."
"Yeah! I didn't see you in any of the upper class party and thought that you disappear." Zhou Wei smiled. "My father asked me to attend this party even though I don't want to. Tsk."
Yu Yan: "…" that's because you're only branch family members of Zhou Family.
Zhou Family was one of the most influential families in the country. They obviously would not care for someone like Bao Tu or Yu Xin. But because they were also the family with the most members, they could easily send one or two people from the branch family to attend.
This way, Zhou Family had connections all over the area in the country. Most people from Zhou Family were also very friendly, which gave them the chance to become even more influential and gained a lot of connections from various field in the world.
"I can't stay here for long… My friends are asking for me to join them and have some chats." Zhou Wei sighed. "Want to join?"
"Sure." Yu Yan glanced at her husband. She smiled faintly. "I'll be back soon."
"Take care."
"I will."
Long Ying stayed still in his place as he watched his wife began to chat with other ladies. She was giving off professional smile and looked like she was enjoying the chats. As someone who often hang out outside and also having a lot of friends, it was clear that Yu Yan could easily start conversation with various types of people.
This was only one occasions.
While some people came to give Bao Family face, those from smaller families were trying to use this chance to increase their connection. It was more important for them to have a lot of connections in case that they would need it in the future. Rather than nothing, it was much better to have a lot of connections and gain as much help as possible when necessary.
But of course, getting close to them was different than just knowing them.
Yu Yan bade her farewell to the last person and turned her head to the side. She saw Yu Xin walked not far from her to greet the people who came to celebrate her wedding. The two of them saw each other.
Yu Xin showed a surprise face. "Sister, you come."
Beside her, Bao Tu's expression considerably darkened. It was clear that he had no intention to hide his dislike to Yu Yan. His expression showed that he never even considered the fact that they had known each other and got along well for a period of time.
By now, Yu Yan also no longer had any thoughts about him. He was already someone of the past that she would not even consider getting along with.
"I was simply invited." Yu Yan looked at Yu Xin. "Congratulations, Mrs. Bao."
"Thank you~." Yu Xin smiled sweetly. As her eyes lowered, she noticed that Yu Yan was already holding her phone at some unknown time. Her eyes darkened slightly as she understood that her sister was giving her warning to not try anything funny if she didn't want another black secret of hers exposed.
Not to mention, that adultery video that Yu Yan had was still in her hand.
"What's with your congratulation? You don't sound sincere at all." Bao Tu snorted.
Yu Yan arched her eyes. "Oh, so how should I sound sincere in your eyes, Mrs. Bao? Do you need me to bow down to show that I'm sincere? You're not an Emperor, Mr. Bao."
She didn't even call him with his name and instead with only surname. It simply showcased that she didn't even want to get close to him nor remember him.
Bao Tu's face darkened. Some guests were already secretly laughing. They were also only giving formal congratulation and not everyone was sincerely happy for him. After all, those who really knew him was very limited in number and most of them didn't even care for him.
They came here because of his background family.
How could they be that sincere in their greetings?
As for bowing down, they would surely scoff if they heard someone said that. It was clear that they were not willing to do that because it would be the same as trampling on their dignity.
"You…"
"Mr. Bao, do you have anything to say to my wife?" Long Ying walked forward and stood between Bao Tu and Yu Yan. His eyes darkened slightly because he didn't want Bao Tu to make things difficult for his wife. It was not easy for Yu Yan to have peaceful life because of his position and right now, he just wished for her ex-boyfriend to scram as far as possible.
Bao Tu wanted to open his mouth when he recalled his promise to Long Ying when the latter sold him the share. It was really a simple request, but he didn't feel like obliging when he saw Yu Yan's face.
Forget it. He didn't want to go back on his words in case Long Ying recorded their previous conversation. Should that conversation go public, he would lose some face and it was not something he wanted from this poor pair in front of him. Poor pair? For some reason he couldn't think of, Bao Tu actually thought that there was something that didn't match but he couldn't put his finger into it.
"Let's go, Xin'er."
"Yes~."
Zhou Wei nearly vomited on the spot when she heard Yu Xin's flirty words. It seemed that this annoying pair wouldn't be satisfied unless they flaunt their love to the entire world.
