"Thank you, grandpa." Jiang Yaner said sweetly, and revealed a sweet smile towards Grandpa Ma. Although she had always wanted to reject the ring that Old Man Ma had given her.

He was afraid that the ring would be too valuable, so he didn't want to accept such a precious gift from the Old Man Ma. However, he knew that the way the Old Man Ma handled things was always based on his mood, so he didn't feel like saying anything to reject it.

Moreover, ever since he had first laid eyes on this ring, there had been an invisible force attracting him, as if this ring had a very deep connection with him.

"Haha, it's good that you like it." Hearing that Jiang Yaner was finally willing to accept the ring, the Old Man Ma smiled happily, and it was not in vain as she painstakingly made up this story. Actually, there was a hidden trap inside the ring, if she didn't tell Jiang Yaner about it, she definitely wouldn't be able to open it.

Seeing the Old Man Ma's hearty laugh, Jiang Yaner also said very happily: "I really like this ring, thank you grandfather."

"Alright, why are you always thanking me? We're family anyway." Ma Yun was as happy as Jiang Yaner and her grandfather, but he was also happy.

"Who's family with you, stop putting gold on your face." Hearing Ma Yun talk about a family, Jin Chen felt his chest suffocating, without any hesitation he retorted against Ma Yun, he did not care whether today was Old Man Ma's birthday, and a bucket of cold water had been poured over the two of them.

Hearing Jin Chen's words, Old Man Ma shot a glance at Jin Chen, and said: "My family members are not just some cats and dogs that can become my family members. Only Yan`er is my family member." This damned brat, looks like he shouldn't let Jiang Yaner marry him in the future. Otherwise, wouldn't he die from anger?

This old man really deserved death, to actually use the word cat or dog to describe himself. No way, he had to bring Jiang Yaner away, otherwise, what would happen if Jiang Yaner was led astray by this old man?

Thinking about that, Jin Chen opened his mouth and said: "Old Man Ma, today is your birthday banquet, we have sent you our gifts, and we will not be participating in the banquet anymore. Yan'er has never liked this kind of occasion, so we need to go home." After he finished speaking, Jin Chen glanced at the Old Man Ma, then pulled Jiang Yaner's hand and prepared to leave this place.

"Wait a minute, if you want to leave, then leave," Old Man Ma glared at Jin Chen. This stinking brat wanted to find a person that would suit his needs and drag him away, then what would be the point in doing so? Moreover, he had an important matter to announce today, if he lost the main character, how would that work?

"Old Man Ma, I have already given you a lot of face." Jin Chen said impolitely, and was not afraid of losing decorum with the Old Man Ma. Even if the Ma Family was extremely wealthy, with the two of them having access to black and white, so what?

"I'm telling you, if you want to leave today, you can. Yan'er must stay." Although he knew that Jin Chen was someone that Jiang Yaner liked psychologically, when he saw Jin Chen's current state, the normally good-tempered Old Man Ma could not help but become angry.

Seeing that Jin Chen's and Old Man Ma's anger was about to explode, Jiang Yaner hurriedly tugged on Jin Chen's hand, and said to Jin Chen: "Chen, today is grandfather's birthday, please don't be like this, okay?" After saying that, she looked at Jin Chen with a pleading look, signalling Jin Chen not to treat the old man like that.

He knew what kind of temper his grandfather had, and the reason he could endure Jin Chen for so long was also because of Jiang Yaner, so Ma Yun hurriedly persuaded his own old man: "Grandfather, Jin Chen didn't mean it that way, he's just talking brainlessly." Although he was speaking up for Jin Chen, Ma Yun did not forget to discredit Jin Chen.

"Jin Chen, don't be like this." Jiang Yaner pulled Jin Chen's hand and said pitifully, seeing that Jin Chen did not pay attention to what he had said just now, he could only take out his' Invincible Charming 'technique, hoping that it would work on Jin Chen.

In fact, Jin Chen knew that today was Old Man Ma's birthday banquet, so he shouldn't say such words, making it seem as if he didn't have any status at all. However, every time he heard what Ma Yun said to Jiang Yaner, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

It was as if Jiang Yaner had already become a family with the Ma Family, and she was just an outsider, she could not fit inside. Although she did not care about the power of the Ma Family, he was truly afraid that Jiang Yaner would steal Jiang Yaner away.

The current Jiang Yaner treated him differently than before, and he was now stronger than Ma Yun, so Jin Chen was really afraid that one day, Jiang Yaner would follow him and travel far away from his hometown, and with the power of the Ma Family, if they really wanted to hide Jiang Yaner, he might not be able to find Jiang Yaner.

"Then let's go out for the banquet, grandpa don't be lazy either." Ma Yun looked at these two stubborn people, they looked really funny.

Hearing Ma Yun's words, the Old Man Ma said: "Let's go, we will leave sooner or later." With that, he stood up from the sofa.

"Yan'er, let's go. Don't bother with this brat." Old Man Ma was like a child, angry at his little friend.

"Let's go, let's go." Let's go, let's go. Ma Yun saw that his own grandfather was acting like a child, so he immediately opened his mouth and said that he was afraid that Jin Chen would hear his grandfather's words and not let Jiang Yaner follow him to the banquet.

Hearing Old Man Ma's words to Ma Yun, Jiang Yaner looked at Jin Chen pitifully, and said: "Chen, let's go participate in the banquet."

"Yeah, let's go together." Ma Yun coordinated with Jiang Yaner and rushed to Jin Chen's side. He did not expect Jin Chen to be such an awkward person, he really did not know how Jiang Yaner was able to endure it.

Seeing Jiang Yaner's pitiful appearance, Jin Chen finally nodded his head. Although he didn't like the way the Old Man Ma spoke and always excluded himself, he still had to give the Ma Family face.

"That's great. Let's go." Jiang Yaner immediately said happily when she saw Jin Chen nod at him. With one hand holding Grandpa Ma and the other holding Jin Chen, their happy looks really made them seem like family.

When Ma Yun saw this scene, he felt so sad that tears would fall from his eyes. He was the only one left alone, and seeing how Jiang Yaner was holding onto Jin Chen's arm so easily, Ma Yun felt especially dazzling.

"Oh right, I still have some things to prepare. You guys can go play first." Old Man Ma just remembered something and told Jiang Yaner, he was really too old and too muddleheaded, always throwing things away.

"Alright, grandfather, we'll be leaving first." Hearing his own grandfather's words, Ma Yun nodded and agreed.

"Mm, have fun and take good care of Yaner." The Old Man Ma instructed Ma Yun to take care of Jiang Yaner at the banquet, as he was afraid that Jiang Yaner would be bullied.

Hearing Old Man Ma's words, Jiang Yaner's heart felt a wave of warmth. It was really good for Grandpa Ma to bring him, like his own granddaughter. Jiang Yaner said to Old Man Ma: "Don't worry, grandfather, I will take good care of myself."

"Mm, let's go and play." Old Man Ma spoke to Jiang Yaner and the others, then turned and left.

"Yan'er, let's go down." Ma Yun said to Jiang Yaner. He did not even look at Jin Chen's smelly face.

After seeing Grandpa Ma's figure disappear into the distance, Jiang Yaner heard Ma Yun's words. Jiang Yaner glanced at the smelly Jin Chen and said: "Chen, let's go." With that, Jiang Yaner took the initiative to grab Jin Chen's arm, and with a look at Ma Yun, he pulled him down the stairs.

The guests gathered downstairs. There were familiar faces, but there were also unfamiliar faces. However, everyone's faces were brimming with smiles, and they looked exceptionally happy.

Just as Ma Yun and the others reached the bottom of the stairs, they attracted a lot of attention. After all, they were handsome men and women, it was hard to not attract attention.

"Isn't this Brother Jin Chen?" A middle-aged man, holding an extremely enchanting woman in one arm and holding onto a cup of red wine with the other, looked at Jin Chen while chuckling.

Jin Chen was already in a bad mood today, so he was a little too lazy to deal with the situation. However, the person in front of him was going to be his partner in the next project, so he felt too embarrassed to ignore him.

"Director Wang, long time no see." Jin Chen said blandly. If it wasn't for the time when he was busy discussing some matters with his and kept pulling his along to prevent his from leaving, he would have been tainted by Wang Hanyu. It was fortunate that he left in time to prevent Wang Hanyu from doing so.

"Yes, Jin, what do you think of the previous collaboration case we discussed?" The Director Wang chuckled and said to Jin Chen. He had more or less heard some rumors regarding what happened last time, and he had personally witnessed the scene when Jin Chen saved Jiang Yaner.

After hearing Director Wang mention about what happened last time, Jiang Yaner held Jin Chen's hand, and unconsciously curled up, his fingers fiercely grabbing onto Jin Chen's arm, as if the scene from that day once again flooded into his mind.

Jin Chen was alert of the changes in Jiang Yaner's mind, he knew that he could not let Jiang Yaner hear any more of the things that had happened. He turned around and said to Ma Yun: "I have something to discuss with Director Wang, bring Yan`er out to eat."

Hearing Jin Chen's words, Ma Yun nodded his head and looked at the pale Jiang Yaner. Although he did not know what had happened, seeing Jiang Yaner's pale white face, Ma Yun immediately nodded his head, reaching out to support Jiang Yaner. Jiang Yaner grabbed her arm, afraid that she would fall down.
