Chen Xuan felt a surge of dissatisfaction that Tan Ziqing had not come out to greet him. It seemed the Tan family had focused all their attention on that important guest tonight, and Tan Ziqing was undoubtedly busy attending to the VIP alongside the family elders.
Chen Xuan shifted his thoughts, though his expression remained calm as he strolled through the Tan family estate, admiring the garden scenery. Tan Weili accompanied him, but unlike Chen Xuan’s composed and relaxed demeanor, Tan Weili appeared incredibly nervous. The villa grounds were filled with elders and young descendants of the main Tan family branch. Some of the socialites and young masters who recognized Tan Weili cast disdainful and suspicious glances his way. How was it that someone from a collateral branch was allowed to attend the banquet? And he had brought along a young man who reeked of poverty.
In this opulent private estate, Chen Xuan and Tan Weili looked entirely out of place. Tan Weili felt the weight of those gazes intensely, but Chen Xuan remained unfazed. However, he soon noticed that Tan Zhaoyu, the main-branch youth who had blocked them at the gate, had also entered. Tan Zhaoyu appeared to be a central figure among the younger generation of the Tan family, and as soon as he arrived, many others flocked to him. These young masters and misses were naturally asking why someone like Tan Weili from a collateral branch had been allowed inside.
