Although Xie Chen is young, among these people, he still has a head and a face. Along the way, many people respectfully called him Brother Xie. And he doesn't understand the world at all, except for occasionally smiling at a few people, most of the time he purses his lips tightly and looks cold and solemn.

The first floor of the hotel was full of people, and the middle was divided in half by a red carpet, and we went straight to the left, and as soon as he approached, the people behind him stood up to say hello. Sister Xu and I followed him, and he sat down in the soft chairs in the first row, put on his sunglasses and lazily lit a cigarette. I stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do, and the people behind me seemed to be saluting, staring straight at me. In the end, Sister Xu pulled me to sit in the second row and motioned for me not to speak.

I briefly looked around, and I could see that there were clearly "two factions" today. On our side was Xie Chen's main party, and sitting in the first row of the seats opposite was a bare-headed, about forty-something, who was knocking melon seeds on Erlang's legs, wearing a shiny thick gold chain, and the black tattoo on his neck was faintly visible...... I suddenly remembered that Xie Chen didn't have any tattoos on his body, which made my impression of him a little better.

From the moment I came in, I noticed that there were many women glancing at us nonchalantly. Especially now, I am more sensitive to a sharper gaze around me. After looking around, I finally found a woman sitting next to the bald head opposite, with burgundy hair and thick and delicate makeup. She looked at me differently than others, and I could clearly feel a fierceness in her eyes.

The two armies did not speak, their expressions were serious, and they stared at each other, as if they were spying on the military situation. I remembered the scenes that often appeared in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and I burst out laughing. Maybe it was because he laughed too loudly, Xie Chen half-turned his head, and from the side he could see the disgusted eyes under his sunglasses. Sister Xu stabbed me with her arm, and I subconsciously closed my mouth. The bald head on the other side probably noticed my presence, looked at it with interest, and walked towards me with the woman next to him. The way he walks is the style of the black boss he plays on TV, half-bent over, and his feet are outward.

And Xie Chen didn't feel this way, there was no ruffian aura all over his body, he wore clothes except for suits, which were generally very casual, but he could often exude a kind of anger.

"Haha, Brother Xie, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come unharmed!" The bald head laughed and snorted. I saw Sister Xu and the people behind me get up respectfully. I think this person should also have a very high status, because Xie Chen, who had always kept a straight face, finally took off the pair of persevering sunglasses, showed a rare smile, and got up and replied, "Ninth brother." ”

"I'll just say it! How could Xie Chen, who has never come forward, appreciate his face today, dare to be for Brother Haihai? ”

Brother Haibin? This is the second time I've heard the name. Although I haven't seen anyone who has seen him, I am already curious. What kind of person has such a big face that can make Xie Chen, who has always regarded himself very highly, attend ceremoniously.

"Brother Haibin is as kind to me as a mountain, of course I want to give him face, but Brother Jiu, you ...... It's rare today, isn't it? Xie Chen laughed as he took away Brother Jiu's hand on his shoulder.

I noticed that the expression on Brother Jiu's face changed for a moment, but it quickly returned to normal. He smiled politely and left. The smell of gunpowder in the air was getting stronger and stronger, and I couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat. But Xie Chen didn't mind at all and sat back in his seat leisurely.

"What is this?" A sharp and bright red nail pierced me, "Xie Chen, when did you like this type?" The bewitching woman stuck to him like a water serpent, spitting smoke rings at him. She didn't stop standing beside Xie Chen, scratching her head vigorously.

I didn't know if I should introduce myself, so I glanced at Sister Xu for help, but found that Sister Xu looked at the woman with a disgusted look and said, "Nana, Brother Haibin has arrived." ”

That Nana didn't pay attention to Sister Xu's words, just looked at me with a posture of ambition, and sat in Xie Chen's arms, "Who is she?" ”

I'm struggling with whether to defend my "dignity", I'm obviously here as Xie Chen's female companion, how can I watch my man surrounded by Yingying Yanyan?

But in retrospect, I'm glad I didn't open my mouth to humiliate myself. Because Xie Chen immediately said something that made me extremely embarrassed.

"I'm just playing with a woman."

I'm not angry, really! Do you want him to say that I am his wife?

Nana immediately made an exaggerated expression of sympathy, and I smiled at her hard, trying to show that I didn't care and was strong, but the tears still flowed down my face.

"I've always heard that Xie Chen, who has never been close to women, has recently gone into the water, and I thought your terminator was so outstanding! When I see it today, that's it! Nana glanced at me contemptuously, defiantly.

With his mesmerizing smile, Xie Chen gently pushed Nana out of his arms, and said lightly, "I don't like people to judge my things, you should know." ”

Sensitive, I still heard the insult in his words. I used to be the pearl in the eyes of my parents and the treasure in the eyes of my brother. Now that I've reached this point, I have no ability to fight back, but I'm still being bullied for nothing? I'll admit I'm thick-skinned, but I don't want much of it, just a little mercy from him. It turned out that I wasn't qualified enough.

I couldn't stop my grievances any longer, but I didn't dare to cry, I just wiped my tears vigorously. Xie Chen just glanced at me indifferently, and there was no indifference in his eyes—and certainly there was no kindness.

The thing that made me even more devastating was still to come, I saw that Brother Jin was walking towards this side surrounded by a group of people, I hurriedly lowered my head, and it was too late to find a place to hide. He sat directly above us and sat in a row with Xie Chen. He also saw me and whistled obscenely, but reluctantly turned his head when he noticed Xie Chen staring at him unfriendly.

The crowd suddenly stirred, and I don't know who shouted, "Big Brother Haibin has arrived." The whole hall was immediately crowded, and they all looked towards the door.

I also stood on tiptoe, curious about what kind of character that big seaside brother was, and how to have such a big pomp. I followed the crowd's line of sight and saw three or four people coming in at the door, the first one wearing a black baseball cap, about forty or so, wearing a black jacket, greeting everyone cheerfully. It's better to see than to hear, the real behind-the-scenes boss should be like this, the gangster brothers in Hong Kong and Taiwan films in the eighties and nineties are all extremely extravagant, in fact, they are all the children of the directors.

Big Brother Haibin walked straight to the front, said a few words very officially, nothing more than some polite words from the boss to comfort the soldiers, and then walked towards us through the crowd. I saw Xie Chen smile—a smile from the heart. I always thought that his facial muscles were different from normal people, and it turned out that he would smile so comfortably. When he hugged Brother Haibin and affectionately called "big brother", I saw that he was just a 25-year-old boy, and after tearing off his cold coat, he was also an ordinary heart inside.

It can be seen that Brother Haibin is very kind to Xie Chen, he said that he has lost weight, he is taller, but it is more like the love between brothers. Brother Jiu also came over to greet Brother Haibin, who just politely responded. As a bystander, I could see the delicate relationship between them.

The waiter brought wine, and Sister Xu helped me get a glass. I took advantage of the gap between Big Brother Haibin and Xie Chen and Brother Jiu to talk about things, and asked Sister Xu tentatively: "Who is that Big Brother Haibin?" I think he has a good relationship with Xie Chen. ”

Sister Xu is the only person I trust in Xie Chen's family, although she is in the same group as Xie Chen, maybe because she is also a woman, she will still be on my side in some things. Although Xie Chen is arrogant, he has a lot of respect for Sister Xu. She took a sip of wine and paused before answering my question, "Big Brother Haibin has a very high status in this circle. However, he has now slowly withdrawn and lives in Canada with his wife and daughter. Before he withdrew, he intended to hand over the business matters to Xie Chen, but because Xie Chen was too young and didn't have much experience, and the ninth brother had objections, he was dissatisfied with letting the young man take over. Brother Haibin was concerned about Brother Jiu's status, and also acquiesced to letting him deal with it with Xie Chen. She shook the red liquid in the goblet, and was silent for a long time before she said: "Brother Jiu's heart is not right, there has been a tendency to fight against Xie Chen in the past few years, and the two of us are only maintaining peace on the surface......"

"Oh." I don't seem to understand it. From this point of view, if Brother Haibin is the emperor who is about to ascend the throne, Xie Chen is undoubtedly the crown prince, and thinking about it is quite a matter of competing for favor in the Qing Palace. I don't feel curious anymore, why is Big Brother Haibin so good to Xie Chen? I think this should be a secret, because Sister Xu said let me stop asking.
