"That kid is definitely not Song Anran's boyfriend. I bet Song Anran is just using him as a shield, a tool!"

Lin Zhiyin said resentfully.

Wei Ranqiu immediately perked up, grabbing Lin Zhiyin's arm and asking, "Lin Zhiyin, do you know this kid?"

Lin Zhiyin sneered, saying in a cold voice:

"It's more than just knowing him. Even if this kid was burned to ashes, I'd still remember him. He was originally just a small-time caregiver. I don't know how he became Song Anran's assistant."

"Think about it. Would a woman like Song Anran take a fancy to such a piece of trash?"

"Even if she did, it would just be for fun!"

Wei Ranqiu's heart was filled with jealousy, and he muttered, "Even if it's just for fun, it still makes me uncomfortable."

Jiang Zhenlin gave Wei Ranqiu a look of disdain, saying coldly:

"I say, Wei Ranqiu, can you have a little self-respect? Is it worth it for you to be like this over such a slut?"

"Think about what kind of families we come from. As long as you crook your finger, there would be plenty of women, right? They'd all be fighting to jump into your bed. What kind of woman can't you get? Why bother hanging yourself from this one tree?"

Wei Ranqiu sighed deeply, putting his hands behind his back: "Alas, you don't understand!"

"Damn, fine, I don't understand!"

Jiang Zhenlin cursed indignantly.

Lin Zhiyin and Wei Ranqiu found common ground, and he said, "Ranqiu, don't be so gloomy. I'll help you get rid of that kid right now, so he won't be an eyesore here!"

Wei Ranqiu's spirits lifted: "Okay, you go ahead. Song Anran is there, and it's not convenient for me to show my face. I don't want to ruin my image in her eyes."

He didn't know that in Song Anran's eyes, he had no image left to speak of.

Lin Zhiyin was about to step forward, but suddenly hesitated.

Thinking about how he always came out on the losing end whenever he met Chen Xiao, he felt a little unsure.

So he decided to call Jiang Zhenlin along.

"Jiang-ge, come with me."

Among the four, Lin Zhiyin was the oldest, but his family background was not as good as the other three, so he could only call himself a younger brother.

Jiang Zhenlin curled his lip, saying with disdain, "Lin Zhiyin, can't you handle such a trashy character? Do you need me to step in?"

Lin Zhiyin didn't dare to get angry, smiling obsequiously, "Jiang-ge, this is your territory after all. With you backing me up, I feel more confident!"

The Jiang family was in the hotel business, and the rich man who contracted Jiangxin Island half a century ago was Jiang Zhenlin's grandfather.

So Jiangxin Pavilion was indeed Jiang Zhenlin's territory.

Jiang Zhenlin said with an arrogant expression:

"Alright, I'll accompany you on this trip. It's been a long time since I've stepped on such a low-level character. Today I'm only doing it for Lao Wei; otherwise, I wouldn't bother to take action!"

The four of them walked towards Chen Xiao's direction together.

Wei Ranqiu deliberately lagged behind, as if Song Anran wouldn't notice him that way.

It was a bit of self-deception.

Chen Xiao naturally noticed them, especially after seeing Wei Ranqiu and Lin Zhiyin. A hint of playfulness appeared in his eyes.

"Director Song, who are those纨绔 (wanku)?" (rich and spoiled kids)

Song Anran frowned, saying in a low voice, "They are the Four Young Masters of Jiang City. I didn't expect them to be together today."

"The Four Young Masters of Jiang City?"

A hint of disdain appeared on the corner of Chen Xiao's mouth.

"Looking at the way they walk, I'd believe you if you said they were the Four Idiots of Jiang City!"

Song Anran said vigilantly, "Don't be careless. They seem to be coming for us."

Then, Song Anran began to introduce them to Chen Xiao in a low voice.

"I won't talk about Lin Zhiyin and Wei Ranqiu."

"The one in front of Wei Ranqiu with the crew cut, tall and strong, is called Ye Gucheng. The Ye family is an old-fashioned wealthy family in Jiang City. It's said that the Ye family is still the richest family in Jiang City."

"The one with Lin Zhiyin is called Jiang Zhenlin. His family runs a hotel business. Jiangxin Pavilion is opened by his family. I heard that he is ruthless and extremely dangerous."

Chen Xiao sneered, "Extremely dangerous? Is his oily hair styled with gasoline?"

Song Anran glared at Chen Xiao, "I'm not joking with you. Stay away from them and don't provoke them."

Chen Xiao thought to himself that he wanted to stay away from them, but the problem was that they seemed to want to get close to him!

Just a few seconds after Song Anran finished speaking, Lin Zhiyin and Jiang Zhenlin had already arrived in front of the two of them.

Song Anran immediately stood in front of Chen Xiao, smiling at the two of them: "Lin-shao, Jiang-shao, long time no see!"

Jiang Zhenlin was quite polite to Song Anran: "Miss Song, long time no see, you are getting more and more beautiful."

But Lin Zhiyin arrogantly put his hands on his hips: "Song Anran, this is none of your business, stay away!"

Jiang Zhenlin's eyelids twitched, thinking that Lin Zhiyin was really courting death. He wouldn't think that Song Anran was just an ordinary hospital director, would he?

But he didn't say anything, happy to watch Lin Zhiyin perform.

Song Anran frowned and glared: "Lin Zhiyin, what do you mean?"

Lin Zhiyin snorted coldly: "I don't mean anything, it's just that there is someone on this island who shouldn't be here!"

Lin Zhiyin pointed his finger: "Chen, do you know what this place is? Do you know that someone like you is not qualified to attend tonight's banquet at all?"

Chen Xiao smiled, "Why am I not qualified?"

Lin Zhiyin said loudly:

"Look around you, who isn't a dignitary or a descendant of a famous family? What are you?"

"A small-time caregiver, don't think I don't know. Your mother is just a饼 (bing)-selling woman in the market. How dare you ask me?" (Bing: a type of flatbread)

When the surrounding people heard this, they frowned.

They couldn't help but cast disdainful glances at Chen Xiao.

His mother sells bing? How did this kind of person get in?

Chen Xiao sneered: "Lin, I'm warning you, you can insult me, but I won't allow you to insult my mother!"

Lin Zhiyin may have developed a psychological shadow from Chen Xiao. When he saw Chen Xiao's sneer, his body trembled involuntarily.

"I won't waste my breath with you. Security, come here! This kid doesn't have an invitation at all and wants to sneak in with someone. Get him out of here!"

Lin Zhiyin called the security guards over.

When the security guards saw Boss Jiang next to Lin Zhiyin, they immediately understood what was going on.

They were about to check Chen Xiao's invitation.

Lin Zhiyin triumphantly folded his arms, saying to Song Anran in a sarcastic tone:

"Song Anran, there is one invitation per person. You can't use yours to let this kid get away with it!"

Song Anran became nervous, wondering if Chen Xiao really didn't have an invitation.

Fortunately, Chen Xiao had brought the invitation with him.

He took out the invitation and slapped it on Lin Zhiyin's face: "Open your dog eyes and see what this is!"

When Lin Zhiyin saw it, it was indeed a real invitation, exactly the same as his.

The security guards looked at each other, also at a loss.

He has an invitation, so they can't just kick him out, right? That wouldn't be in accordance with the rules!

At this time, Jiang Zhenlin suddenly sneered, saying leisurely:

"So what if you have an invitation? You still can't go in!"

"When my grandfather built Jiangxin Pavilion, he set a rule!"

Everyone quietly waited for his next words. Jiang Zhenlin grinned, mocking:

"That rule is that poor people and dogs are not allowed inside!"
