Shen Yan took a quick shower, changed her clothes, and came out, and returned to the birthday banquet with Chen Nian.
Fu Xiaoxiao was puzzled when she saw Shen Yan and Chen Nian headed downstairs safely. She murmured, “Shouldn’t Shen Yan be with Su Qi now? How did she come down?”
Qiao Yue shook her head in confusion and asked, “I don’t know. Could it be that we made a mistake?”
Fu Xiaoxiao sucked in a breath of cold air and snapped fearfully, “T-this can’t be!”
Fu Xiaoxiao and Qiao Yue stared at Shen Yan intently and scrutinized her facial expression. However, Shen Yan seemed normal.
Fu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said with a serious expression, “No, I have to go and settle the score with her. I definitely can’t let her off so easily!”
“I’ll go with you,” replied Qiao Yue. She was thinking simply since she didn’t manage to harm Shen Yan, the unlucky person who climbed into Su Qi’s bed had nothing to do with them. What they needed to do now was to settle the score with Shen Yan!

Thus, they walked up to Shen Yan and were about to speak when they saw Shen Yan holding a glass of red wine in her hand. Instinctively, they took a step back.
“Shen Yan, do you know what kind of place this is? How dare you come here to dabble in food. You’re such a disgrace!” Fu Xiaoxiao remarked furiously. No matter which sponsors Shen Yan came here with, she was embarrassing her brother, Fu Hang!
Fu Xiaoxiao was the Young Miss of the Fu family who acted as she pleased in school. As she was used to putting on a high horse demeanor, she was completely oblivious to the importance of this birthday banquet.
Old Master Su, who had been chatting and laughing from the top seat, heard Fu Xiaoxiao’s sharp voice. Then, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Shen Yan, who was standing beside Fu Xiaoxiao, and his expression changed.
He scurried down from above and walked hurriedly to Fu Xiaoxiao and Shen Yan.
As Old Master Su was the main character of today’s banquet, everyone’s eyes fell on him and observed his every move.
Shen Yan stared at Fu Xiaoxiao and inquired calmly, “The smell of cake on Miss Fu is quite strong. Did the cake tonight, perhaps come from Miss Fu’s hand?”
“What?! You’re the one who made the cake! How can I, the dignified Young Miss of the Fu family, be a chef?!” Fu Xiaoxiao glared viciously at Shen Yan. Then, she raised her hand to slap her. However, she saw Old Master Su walking over.

She quickly retracted her hand and smiled hastily. She said politely, “Grandpa Su, how are you!”
Qiao Yue, who was beside Fu Xiaoxiao, also greeted him quickly.
“Shen Yan?” Old Master Su didn’t even look at Fu Xiaoxiao and Qiao Yue. He was looking at Shen Yan with excitement.
Shen Yan looked at Old Master Su. Then, she smiled and responded, “Grandpa Su, I wish you the best of health, happiness, and prosperity.”
Chen Nian smiled mischievously and added, “Hello, Grandpa Su!”
“Hahaha! Very good!” Old Master Su looked at Shen Yan with excitement, and his eyes were teary. He raised his hand to wipe his tears as he seemed to think about something. Then, he said in a low voice, “I saw you when you were a month old. In a blink of an eye, you’re already so big.”
Shen Yan was about to speak when Fu Xiaoxiao, who was beside her, interrupted her.
“Grandpa Su, didn’t you watch me grow up?” Fu Xiaoxiao glared at Shen Yan. She felt that Old Master Su must have been old and muddle-headed, which was why he mistook Shen Yan as her. Without any further ado, she went forward to hold onto his arm. “I will visit you often from now on!”
Old Master Su had no choice but to look at Fu Xiaoxiao this time. The warmth in his eyes dissipated completely. He said coldly, “Little Girl Fu, you go and play at the side!”
Fu Xiaoxiao, who was at the side, froze upon hearing Old Master Su’s words.
Did Grandpa Su not recognize the wrong person?
Did he come down specially to greet Shen Yan?
Old Master Su was the most prestigious person in the entire An City.
In addition, the people who came to his birthday banquet today were all esteemed people in An City. They had never seen Old Master Su treat a youngster so politely.
Old Master Su stared at Shen Yan and asked, “Young… I mean, how are your parents?”
“Well, they asked me to congratulate you on their behalf,” Shen Yan said with a smile.
Old Master Su got so excited that tears started flowing down his face. He quickly took the handkerchief from a maid’s hand and wiped his tears away. “Thank you, young- I mean, your parents still remember this old man.”
Old Master Su originally wanted to address Shen Yan’s parents as Young Master and Young Madam, but he swallowed back the words. He knew that the Shen family had always kept a low profile and did not want to expose their identity.
Old Master Su enjoined Shen Yan a few more times before finally saying, “If you need anything in the future, come and find me!”
“Thank you, Grandpa Su. I will remember it,” Shen Yan replied with a smile.
Everyone’s attention were on Shen Yan.
