The banquet hall is on the first floor of Shao's house, with a magnificent layout and scattered furnishings, and it does not appear crowded because of the large number of people. At the extended banquet table, many people gathered to talk and laugh, holding champagne in their hands or holding red wine, as if the estrangement of the past had disappeared.

As soon as Gu Chen walked into the hall, they immediately stopped talking about the topic, and Gu Chen and An Xiaoran became the focus of the audience in an instant.

Here, there is no one who does not know Gu Chen. In recent years, his reputation in China is almost on par with Zhan Maoyong, and he is young and promising, and he has become the top spot of domestic capital enterprises, and his impact on the domestic economy is very important.

What impresses everyone even more is that he is the person in charge of the project of the C City Development Zone, which is a development zone that An Zaiguo strongly advocates for environmental protection land, but Gu Chen successfully bid for it for commercial use.

He was also invited to Shao Nancheng's banquet, which already explained the attitude and problems involved. When everyone saw Gu Chen, they all knew it.

Then, their eyes fell on the female companion beside Gu Chen.

I have never heard that Gu Chen has a wife or girlfriend, and when he attended public before, Gu Chen was also alone, and he didn't even bring a female companion. This time he changed his habits in the past, which made everyone can't help but look at An Xiaoran a few more times.

Some of them were sharp-eyed, and almost immediately recognized An Xiaoran's identity: "The woman next to Gu Chen, isn't it An Xiaoran?"

"What, how could it be her?!"

"I said that I haven't heard from her recently, it turned out that I was with Gu Chen. What kind of relationship are they......"

Everyone's whispers gradually turned into a bustle.

"An Xiaoran, who is An Xiaoran......" Some newcomers in the political circles have not seen An Xiaoran, nor do they know her true identity, and they are shocked to see everyone, and asked curiously.

"You don't even know about her, but she's the president's daughter......"

Although she was mentally prepared, An Xiaoran was still a little nervous in the face of everyone's comments. She hasn't attended such an occasion for many years, and she doesn't know how much is left of her confident posture, but now, she is no longer a princess, but Gu Chen's nominal 'girlfriend', and the sudden difference in identity and the junior in the presidential palace and other colored labels were all pasted on her at once. Because of nervousness, An Xiaoran's hand holding Gu Chen was tightening a little.

Gu Chen gently patted the hand holding him, touching her cold temperature, Gu Chen simply held her and gave her the strength to calm down.

"Isn't this Gu Shao? Who's the little beauty here, a girlfriend? Wow, what a cute look. No wonder you've been reluctant to show me, aren't you afraid I'll snatch it? ”

At this time, Du Ziteng didn't know where to come out, and his expression was exaggerated and he winked at Gu Chen.

Gu Chen's face was expressionless: "Less nonsense." ”

Du Ziteng was aggrieved: "If you have a girlfriend, you forget your brother, you make me sad too much." ”

Just when An Xiaoran thought he was going to squeeze out tears, Du Ziteng suddenly turned around and stretched out his hand to An Xiaoran, and threw a flattering look by the way: "Du Ziteng, the general manager of Tianyu Technology, I am fortunate to meet." ”

The awkward atmosphere became much easier because of Du Ziteng's sudden joining. The eyes of those politicians were also scattered to Du Ziteng, a notoriously uneducated playboy.

An Xiaoran and Du Ziteng met, in Gu Chen's company. Du Ziteng did this to save her, and she knew it in her heart.

Stretching out his hand, An Xiaoran held Du Ziteng and forced out a smile: "My name is An Xiaoran, and, thank you." ”

This smile, even if it is reluctant, is bright enough. Gu Chen immediately took An Xiaoran's hand and said unhappily: "Thank him for what he does, he will do something out of the ordinary all day long, know him, you will cry in the future." ”

Du Ziteng withdrew his hand that had been left out in the cold, and folded his arms: "I said Gu Chen, I'm helping you, why don't you appreciate it." It's still good to dye and dye, don't worry, Gu Chen can't be trusted, I will cover you in the future. ”

Du Ziteng teased a few words, and An Xiaoran's tense nerves gradually relaxed.

Several politicians who had a good relationship with Shao Nancheng looked at each other and walked forward to talk to Gu Chen together.

They are not familiar with Gu Chen, but friends of friends are friends, and the relationship with Gu Chen, Shao Nancheng once talked to them, so this is a good opportunity to get to know Gu Chen.

An Xiaoran strictly followed Chen's instructions, and followed him inch by his side, in front of others, she smiled decently, but her eyes looked into the crowd from time to time.

Gu Chen said that her father would also come to the banquet, and a bad premonition arose, and she couldn't help but start worrying about the safety of the country.

The car drove fast on the road, and An Zaiguo sat on the leather seat and closed his eyes to recuperate. When Shao Nancheng's invitation came, he hesitated, he had just been assassinated, he was the first suspicious object, fortunately, Shao Nancheng's IQ was online, and he did not contact him with this matter, and sealed the news for him.

Even if he didn't want to get involved, Ahn Jae-kook had to participate. Because, after Shao Nancheng, it will definitely be him. He also wanted to know who was so bold as to dare to do such an unseemly thing.

Du Peizhao was dressed in a sapphire blue over-the-knee gown, with a pair of bright eyes, gently looking at An Guo's worries. She put her hand on his lap, patted it gently, and looked out the window silently.

During the banquet, there was no shortage of An Zaiguo's cronies. Seeing An Zaiguo coming, they rushed forward to report.

"Your Excellency, there is something you must know. ”

Before An Zaiguo entered the villa, he was stopped by these people, thinking that something had happened to Shao Nancheng.

"What's the matter. ”

Several people looked at each other, not knowing where to start.

An Zaiguo frowned anxiously: "If you have something to say, how can you support it." ”

One of them lowered his head and didn't dare to look directly into An Zaiguo's eyes: "Princess, she's here too......"

An Zaiguo was stunned for a moment, "Who are you talking about?"

Hasn't An Xiaoran been working part-time, if he is not mistaken, she should not be exposed to such an occasion.

"It's your princess, but ...... Her identity this time is ......"

An Zaiguo was about to be rushed by him: "What is it, you hurry up!"

"It's the girlfriend of the third prince of the Gu Foundation. ”

“……”

An Zaiguo was about to suffer a cerebral hemorrhage in anger, if it weren't for Du Peizhao supporting him, he would almost have rolled down the steps. His head was dizzy for a while, his eyes were black, and the cold wind was blowing, and he closed his eyes for a while before he gradually regained consciousness that he was almost lost.

Du Peizhao's face was also pale, and he asked anxiously: "Are you sure? It's that T&G Gu Chen? How could Xiao Ran be with Gu Chen, how could this be possible!"

Everyone was stunned by the reaction of the president and his wife.

Although An Xiaoran suddenly had a new relationship, and the other party was still her sworn enemy, it was a thing that made people angry, but they were dating, and they were not really married, how could the president, who has always been calm, be so excited.

"There will be no mistake, princess, we all watched her grow up, and this is what Gu Chen personally admitted. ”

Du Peizhao shook his head for a while, as if he had heard something unbearable: "Evil, evil! Husband, what can I do." ”

An Zaiguo felt weak, but in the end he was calmer than Du Pei Zhao, he pushed Du Pei Zhao away and stumbled a few times, and finally stood firm, "What else can I do, this evil animal, causing trouble all day long, who is not good, but it is the young master of the Gu family, I will clean her up when I go home!"

When Shao Nancheng heard that An Zaiguo was coming, he immediately ran to the door to greet him personally, and saw the reaction of An Zaiguo and his wife.

He didn't understand the reason, but he could see that it was difficult for them to accept seeing their daughter and Gu Chen together.

The discomfort in my heart has also become comfortable.

It is worthy of Gu Chen, who can always accurately find the enemy's weaknesses. Obviously, An Xiaoran, an inconspicuous princess who has been silent for many years, is the biggest weakness of An Zaiguo.

"I didn't expect you to be quite popular. ”

After a round of toasting, Gu Chen had already been poured an unknown number of glasses. An Xiaoran deliberately hit his foot, which rescued Gu Chen from the dire situation.

Gu Chen rubbed her undamaged ankle and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that you are quite clever." ”

An Xiaoran didn't want to say anything back, and said dissatisfiedly: "Are you stupid, they deliberately poured you, why don't you refuse." ”

She saw that those politicians were looking at each other, and the banquet had not officially started, so she wanted to force Gu Chen back in this way, which was really despicable.

"It's not hard for me. Gu Chenyun said lightly, but he was very comfortable in his heart. This girl finally opened her mind and began to know that she cared about him. "However, it also shows that your father's prestige is very high. ”

Otherwise, how could he have just entered the door and be troubled.

An Xiaoran withdrew his feet: "Gu Chen, you tell me the truth, what is the purpose of today's banquet?"

Obviously, there was no harmony between the guests attending the banquet. Not only Dad and Shao Nancheng, but even the other candidates' gangs were also present.

It's so mixed that it doesn't look like a private banquet at all, but like a secret meeting within a country.

"Is it for my dad?"

Gu Chen glanced around, making sure that no one could notice them, before getting up and sitting next to An Xiaoran.

"It's not. He spoke firmly.

"That's ......"

The more she came into contact with these people, the more apprehensive An Xiaoran became, and her intuition told her that something big was about to happen.

"Let's tell you this," Gu Chen paused, leaned into An Xiaoran's ear, and said in the smallest voice: "I went to the hospital that day, and I met you and Lu Xingchuan because Shao Nancheng was assassinated. ”

An Xiaoran's eyes widened, "Assassinated?"

"Shh......h

Gu Chen made a silent gesture at her.

"You doubt my dad?" An Xiaoran thought of this almost immediately.

"No, it's possible for anyone, except your dad. ”

In a few words, the smart An Xiaoran already understood the purpose of this banquet. The assassination was such a big thing, the media should have reported it as soon as possible, and the reason why it was suppressed was that Shao Nancheng specially blocked the news.

blocked the news, but held a banquet a few days after the assassination, just to tell the other party that he was alive and well. This is a provocation, but also a hint, no surprise, tonight, the other side will definitely take action. Suspicious people are invited here, and when the time comes, it will be clear who did it.

"Scared?" Gu Chen saw her serious thinking, and the corners of his lips hooked slightly.

At first, he didn't tell her because he was afraid that she would be afraid and even get involved. Tell her now because Gu Chen realizes that even if the security is perfect, it will not be 100% safe tonight. In order to cooperate with the other party and find that person as soon as possible, it is very likely that he will not be able to protect her closely, nor can he let her stay out of the matter.

An Xiaoran shook her head slightly.

As soon as she heard the news, she was indeed shocked, but it was not the first time she had experienced such a thing as a killer's assassination.

I remember that a bad guy once caught her and blackmailed An Zaiguo to revise the proposal, and An Zaiguo only took three hours to snatch her back from the bad guys' hands unharmed.

It was also at that time that An Zaiguo realized that his family would be implicated because of him, so after that, he tried not to let her attend the event, and never appeared in front of the media.

However, their intentions, even she, a woman who is not involved in the official scene, can be seen roughly, without an absolutely safe opportunity, who would be stupid enough to throw herself into the net?

An Xiaoran couldn't help but start worrying about their plan......
