"It's worthy of a banquet in Zhongdu, and there is even caviar?" Pang Xiaonan was pleasantly surprised to find that this appetizer before the meal was such a high-end ingredient.

High-end ingredients often only need the simplest cooking methods, the caviar, sashimi and all kinds of seafood here are basically the original taste, Pang Xiaonan couldn't help but eat plate after plate.

A richly dressed young man next to him looked at Pang Xiaonan and frowned, "Brother, haven't you eaten for a day?"

The people who came to this dinner party were all top families who could be called in the middle of the world, and Pang Xiaonan's eating appearance was indeed a little indecent, which made the young man next to him suspect that Pang Xiaonan was mixed in.

Moreover, Pang Xiaonan did look at the eyes.

In fact, the wealthy families in Huaguo are basically world friends and know each other, even if it is the next generation or the next generation, they can be familiar, but Pang Xiaonan is a new face in the eyes of everyone.

"You're so discerning, I really haven't eaten for a day!"

When Pang Xiaonan came out of home in the morning, he ate a few steamed buns and a light meal on the plane, didn't he eat a grain of rice.

"I don't know where you are? I don't think I've seen you before?"

"I'm not from any house, I'm from out of town. ”

Pang Xiaonan told the truth, he didn't belong to any big family, and it was normal for others to be suspicious.

"We're from out of town, our meeting tonight is private, are you in the wrong place?"

The luxurious young man couldn't help but want to call the security guard, he didn't look down on Pang Xiaonan's identity, but Pang Xiaonan's eating appearance did ruin the grade of this banquet.

"That's right, someone else brought me in......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Yao came over, "Oh, what are you in a hurry, the main meal hasn't started yet, you can endure and order ......"

As soon as he saw Zhang Yao, the noble young man suddenly came to his senses, "Zhang Yao, you are here......"

"Zhou Guangbang, long time no see. ”

Zhang Miao smiled politely.

"Who is this?"

Zhou Guangbang stared at Pang Xiaonan curiously, it seemed that Zhang Jiao was still very familiar with him.

"Oh, this is my boyfriend, Pang Xiaonan. ”

It is not the first time that Zhang Xiaonan has been a shield, so he is very skilled in business.

"Boyfriend, do you have a boyfriend?"

Zhou Guangbang looked at Pang Xiaonan suspiciously, and couldn't believe that Zhang Jiao would find such a person as his boyfriend.

"I'm sorry for the company. ”

Zhang Yao pulled Pang Xiaonan to the side, and Pang Xiaonan reluctantly smoothed a piece of red cake that looked delicious.

"I said that you are really, why did you expose my identity so quickly? Do you know, good steel is used on the blade, obviously you just introduced my identity, and the other party did not have a big reaction. ”

Pang Xiaonan was dissatisfied and stuffed the small cake into his mouth.

"You haven't reacted yet, don't you see that he wants to kill you?"

The Zhang family and the Zhou family are world friends, and the main industry of the Zhou family is focused on the energy industry, and it can be regarded as a powerful family in the capital, so the two families have always wanted to match Zhang Jiao and Zhou Guangbang, but unfortunately Zhou Guangbang has a soft spot for Zhang Jiao, but Zhang Jiao is indifferent.

"Could it be that this brother is your admirer?"

Pang Xiaonan was reminded by Zhang Jiaoyi, and recalled Zhou Guangbang's eyes, which seemed to have a little murderous intent.

"Eh, let me tell you, there are so many young men in the room right now, but they are all my admirers. ”

Zhang Yao crossed his waist and proudly straightened his chest.

"Come on, so what, I'm a shield anyway, so that their sharp eyes shoot at me!"

Pang Xiaonan was about to walk towards the dining table again, "Eh, you can't stop eating at the Grig, do you want me to stand here?

Pang Xiaonan thought to himself, if you don't come, I can still eat a few more pieces of food.

"You stand with me, you just deliberately provoke other people's jealousy, no, I have to stay away from you. ”

Saying that, Pang Xiaonan headed towards the dining table again, the dining table was very long, and Pang Xiaonan deliberately stood away from Zhou Guangbang, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

"Brother Xiaonan!"

Suddenly, Pang Xiaonan heard someone calling him.

He followed the prestige and found Du Lanyan running towards him.

"Du Lanyan, why are you here?"

It's really a place where you don't meet in life.

"Brother Xiaonan, I should ask you, why are you here, aren't you in Fengri County? ”

Du Lanyan wore a decent cheongsam today, which made her delicate figure even more attractive. How to put it, it's like Chun-Li in the Street Fighter game.

Pang Xiaonan held a plate of desserts, scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "Yes, this is your home...... I'm here to join in the fun. ”

"Join in the fun? You're a little far away. Du Lanyan took Pang Xiaonan's hand and walked towards the middle of the venue.

"Grandpa is also here, let's go, I'll take you to see him. ”

Pang Xiaonan was pulled by Du Lanyan, which attracted the attention of many young men in the venue.

"Who is this kid?"

"yes, do you know?"

"It looks so raw? Like I've never seen it before. ”

"What is the relationship between him and Du Lanyan?"

"Could it be Du Lanyan's brother?"

"Where did Du Lanyan come from, she is the only daughter of the Du family. ”

"Maybe it's Du Lanyan's cousin, a distant relative or something. ”

After a while, Pang Xiaonan met Du Haoran.

"Old Du, you're here too. ”

"Pang Xiaonan, why are you here, we haven't seen each other for a while. ”

Du Haoran was surprised to see Pang Xiaonan standing in front of him, with a smile on his face.

"yes, hehe. ”

Pang Xiaonan never expected that he would come to Zhongdu to be a shield, and he also ran into an old acquaintance.

"Everything is okay in Fengri County, your father is doing a good job......

Since Du Haoran handed over the affairs of Fengri County to Pang Tong, the progress of the project has satisfied him. Although all this has little to do with Pang Tong's ability, Pang Tong's desire to do something after regaining his strength also contributed to the smooth progress of the project.

"It's all thanks to you. ”

"By the way, you haven't told me yet, why are you here?"

Du Haoran was very strange, how could Pang Xiaonan, a young man from Fengri County, appear on such an occasion in Zhongdu. Based on Du Haoran's understanding of Pang Xiaonan, Pang Xiaonan has no backstage in Zhongdu.

Pang Xiaonan looked at Du Lanyan embarrassedly, and stopped talking, so he had to attach it to Du Haoran's ear and say the purpose of his trip.

"Oh, haha, it was the girl of the Zhang family who brought you here......"

Du Haoran laughed loudly and praised Pang Xiaonan's self-sacrificing quality.

"What, do you know Zhang Yao?"

Pang Xiaonan should have thought that the wealthy families here are all world friends who have a good relationship, and it is normal for each other's children to know each other.

"I know, why don't I know? I hugged her when she was a child. Du Haoran pulled Pang Xiaonan to a corner, "I said, did she take a fancy to you? It's not good to find someone to be a shield, and she has come all the way to find you......

"It's safe to find me, she knows that I don't have any thoughts about her, and she won't pretend to be a public servant. ”

"You don't have any thoughts about her, what if she has thoughts about you?"

"Don't make a fuss, she's much older than me. ”

"Female junior, hugging gold bricks ......"

At this time, a voice spread through the air: "Young friends, I announce that the sorority has officially begun!"

As the words fell, melodious music rang out in the venue.

"See, today's fraternity is organized by that old man Zhang. ”

Du Haoran pointed to the old man with the microphone on the stage and said to Pang Xiaonan.

"Zhang Yao's grandfather?"

"That's him. ”

"Eh, you brought Du Lanyan over, did you also want to find a partner for her?"

Pang Xiaonan caught a glimpse that Du Lanyan was surrounded by several sons and brothers with elegant temperaments, and it seemed that he was quite popular.

"She's not young anymore, she's been studying in a girls' school, and she usually has little contact with boys, so she came over for a long time. ”

Du Haoran glanced at Du Lanyan, "How is it, my granddaughter is beautiful, right?"

"Then it doesn't need to be said, if there is a grandfather, there must be a grandson. ”

"You don't have any thoughts about my granddaughter, do you?"

", she's a little older. ”

"I'm 18 years old and an adult. ”

"Oh, that's when you can find a boyfriend. ”

"Eh, you're Zhang Yao's fake boyfriend, and you're going to talk here with me, an old man, all the time, don't you have to protect her?"

"No, when she asks me for protection, she will come to me. ”

At this moment, Zhang Miao is being instructed by her mother.

"Zhang Yao, look at the outstanding young men in this game, this is the hope of the future of Zhongdu, you have to seize the opportunity. ”

Zhang's mother tongue was serious, but the corners of her eyes were full of crow's feet and laughter.

At today's sorority, most of the young talents in the capital are present, not only the children of major wealthy families, but also new talents from all walks of life, such as many well-known unmarried people in the Internet industry and the literary and artistic circles, have come to join in the fun.

"Mom......"

Zhang Yao was still hesitating to tell his family about Pang Xiaonan's identity.

According to Zhang's mother's character, Pang Xiaonan's background is something she will never look down on, but if Pang Xiaonan is not brought out, the family is afraid that there will be a mess of mandarin duck scores.

Zhang Jiao's purpose in bringing Pang Xiaonan to the scene was just to block those young men who were interested in her, and she had no intention of introducing Pang Xiaonan to her family, because it was difficult for the Zhang family to accept Pang Xiaonan's civilian status, no matter how good Pang Xiaonan was in other aspects.

At this time, Zhou Guangbang walked in front of Zhang Yao, "Zhang Yao, can I dance with you?"

Zhang's mother's eyes lit up, and she pushed Zhang Yao, "Go quickly!"

Zhang Jiao had no choice but to walk to the center of the dance floor with Zhou Guangbang and slowly danced a tango.

"Yo, your girlfriend danced with someone else. ”

Du Haoran's eyes were sharp, and he found two dazzling people on the dance floor.

"Jump, jump, what are you fussing about?"

At this moment, Pang Xiaonan is feasting with Du Haoran at the dining table.

The whole venue is very cleverly arranged, on both sides of the hall are tables, on which are placed fruits, desserts, champagne and other snacks, next to the table, the venue is surrounded by four large round tables, the round table is placed for dinner, and in the middle of the four round tables, is the dance floor.

When Mr. Zhang announced the start of the party, the main meal was served by the staff, Pang Xiaonan only glanced at it, and was aroused by the appetite, which is worthy of the dishes of Zhongdu Hotel, including roast duck, roast chicken, roast suckling pig, steamed bear paw, steamed deer tail...... Isn't it fragrant to eat? What a dance!

"Aren't you afraid that Zhang Yao will be snatched away?"

Du Haoran saw Pang Xiaonan's fragrant food, and also broke a chicken leg and gnawed it.

"It's better to snatch it, then I won't have to be a shield again. ”

"I think the two of them are really compatible!"

On the dance floor, Zhou Guangbang and Zhang Jiao's cooperation is very tacit, which has attracted everyone's attention.

Zhou Guangbang held Zhang Yao's hand, hugged Zhang Yao's waist, and asked softly, "That face-faced boy is really your boyfriend?"

"He has a name, his name is Pang Xiaonan. Zhang Jiao didn't look at Zhou Guangbang's eyes, only focused on the dance steps.

"Which family's son is he, why haven't you seen him before?"

Zhou Guangbang has been working in the family business for many years, and his eyes are vicious, he feels that Pang Xiaonan does not have any nobility, and he is definitely not a child of a big family in Zhongdu.

"He's not the son of a family, he's just a commoner. ”

Zhang Yao hates these sons and daughters in Zhongdu who use other people's backgrounds and identities to set off their nobility at every turn, but she can't help it, this circle is such a culture, and what is compared is the power behind it.

"Well, do you think your family will agree to you being together?"

Zhou Guangbang wanted Zhang Jiao to recognize the facts and draw a clear line with Pang Xiaonan as soon as possible.

"It's our business if we're not together, and the opinions of our family can only be used as a reference. ”

"Oh, really?"

Zhou Guangbang smiled without saying a word, and finished dancing with Zhang Yao.

As a gentleman, Zhou Guangbang sent Zhang Jiao back to Zhang's mother's side, and then greeted politely: "Auntie, congratulations, I heard that your daughter has found a boyfriend." ”

Zhang Miao was anxious, and glared at Zhou Guangbang, "You ......"

Mother Zhang was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Oh, really?

Zhou Guangbang gloated and left, leaving a mother and daughter staring at each other.

"Zhang Jiao, you just want to refuse Zhou Guangbang, you can also find a better reason, besides, why can't Zhou Guangbang be worthy of you, I think it's very good, when you danced just now, everyone felt that it was a good match. ”

Zhang's mother just thought that Zhang Jiao and Zhou Guangbang had a play, but she didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, Zhou Guangbang actually said that his daughter had a boyfriend, which must be a lie made up by Zhang Jiao, just to reject Zhou Guangbang.

"Mom, I really have a boyfriend. ”

Zhang Yao decided to let it go.

"Where are you?

Zhang's mother expected that Zhang Yao was lying, if she had a boyfriend, why didn't she say it before.

"You wait......"

Zhang Miao hurriedly walked away with high heels.

Here, Pang Xiaonan is still nibbling on roast suckling pig, a mouthful of oil, but he doesn't know that Zhang Yao is looking for him all over the world.

Finally, Zhang Jiao found Pang Xiaonan, she quickly ran to Pang Xiaonan's side, took his hand, and said, "Go, follow me to see my mother." ”

"No, I want to meet my parents......"

Pang Xiaonan didn't have time to put down the pig's elbow, so he was pulled in front of Zhang's mother by Zhang Yao.

"Mom, this is my boyfriend, Pang Xiaonan. ”

"Hello Auntie!"

Pang Xiaonan has a lot of scenes pretending to be boyfriends, so he came as soon as he opened his mouth, but he grabbed an elbow with his left hand, his lips were shiny and shiny, and he had a simple smile, so that Zhang's mother could not pinch it.

"Oops, you put your elbows down first......"

Zhang Yao also discovered this embarrassing situation, snatched the elbow from Pang Xiaonan's hand, and pulled a napkin to wipe his mouth.

Looking at Zhang Yao's skillful and gentle movements, Zhang's mother was very surprised, it seems that what Zhang Yao said is true, this is not a boyfriend and girlfriend, where can it be so intimate.

Zhang's mother changed her smile and asked Pang Xiaonan, "Your name is Pang Xiaonan, how long have you been with Zhang Xiaonan?"

"It's been almost half a year. ”

Pang Xiaonan didn't think about it, so he blurted out.

"What, it's been half a year, Zhang Yao, what's going on, why haven't I heard you mention it before?"

Zhang's mother was a little angry, such an important event, Zhang Yao actually hid it from her family.

"Mom, aren't I afraid that the time is not ripe?

Zhang Yao's face was a little red, she didn't expect Pang Xiaonan to say it for so long.

But Pang Xiaonan is not wrong, it is true that he has known Zhang Xiao for half a year.

"Pang Xiaonan, I don't know which family you are?"

Mother Zhang took Zhang Xiaoliang aside and began to interrogate Pang Xiaonan.

In Zhang's mother's impression, Zhongdu does not seem to have a big family surnamed Pang.

"Mom, he's not a child of any family, he's just an ordinary person. ”

Zhang Xiao answered for Pang Xiaonan, the ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her in-laws, Pang Xiaonan's identity can't be hidden, relying on the Zhang family's powerful information network, Pang Xiaonan's identity will be known at a glance.

"I didn't let you speak, you shut up for me!"

Mother Zhang shouted at Zhang Yao.

"Yes, Auntie, I'm just an ordinary person. ”

Pang Xiaonan is fearless, anyway, he is a fake, and Zhang Yao's family can't look down on it.

"Ordinary people, how did you get to know Zhang Yao?"

Zhang's mother's first impression of Pang Xiaonan was a greedy and unruly guy, such a person must have met Zhang Yao in Huahai City, which is why Zhang's mother did not want Zhang Yao to continue to stay in Huahai City, as far as she knew, she knew some such indiscreet men.

"We met at Dongli Military Academy...... When Pang Xiaonan was about to tell the truth, he found that Zhang Yao was squeezing his eyebrows at him, and he immediately reacted, he couldn't tell the bloody plot of teacher-student love.

"Zhang Yao is a star teacher at Dongli Military Academy, and I also admired her style, so I intended to get to know her, but I didn't expect her to fall in love with me at first sight, so we were together. ”

Pang Xiaonan's original intention was to set off Zhang Yao's excellence, but in the end, he couldn't help but boast about it, and listened to Zhang's mother with a red face and a white face.

"Since you have known each other for so long, do you know Zhang Yao's family background, do you know Zhang Yao's family, do you think you have a future......

Zhang's mother is aggressive, she is not optimistic about Pang Xiaonan, a commoner child, it is impossible to enter the eyes of the Zhang family.

"Pang Xiaonan, you are here!"

Du Haoran also walked over with a shiny mouth.

"Grandpa Du. Zhang Miao recognized Du Haoran, and Zhang's mother also greeted her with a smile.

"Uncle Du, you're here. ”

Zhang's mother unexpectedly found that Pang Xiaonan and Du Haoran knew each other, and couldn't help frowning.

"Uncle Du, do you know Pang Xiaonan?"

"Recognize. Why don't you know, this is the descendant of Master Pang. ”

Du Haoran winked at Pang Xiaonan with his left eye, making Pang Xiaonan inexplicable, he didn't know what Du Haoran was going to do.

"Master Pang, which Master Pang?"

Mother Zhang searched in her mind for a long time, but she didn't remember the name of Master Pang.

"That Pang Taishi, the famous Pang Taishi in history, don't you remember?"

"Oh, that Pang Taishi. ”

Mother Zhang had a vague impression, but that Pang Taishi was already a figure hundreds of years ago.

Speaking of which, Pang Xiaonan can be regarded as a famous family, but the Pang family has gone through vicissitudes and has already fallen into the middle of the family. ”

Du Haoran shook his head with a sigh.

"Then you and him...... What's the relationship?"

Although Mother Zhang didn't know who Pang Xiaonan was from Master Pang, it didn't matter, the main thing was that Pang Xiaonan had anything to do with Du Haoran.

Du Haoran's energy in Zhongdu is stronger than their Zhang family, which family in Zhongdu can't sell Du Haoran a face?

"He, I'm a distant relative, you don't know, my ancestral home is Fengri County, he is from Fengri County, I recently went back to my hometown, my hometown is quite backward, so I'm going to do some projects in Fengri County, so I gave him carte blanche to do it. ”

Du Haoran quietly made an OK gesture to Pang Xiaonan.

"That's ...... so"

At this time, Du Lanyan ran over and took Pang Xiaonan's hand.

"Brother Xiaonan, can you dance with me?"

"I won't. ”

Pang Xiaonan wanted to break free.

"No, I'll teach you......"

Du Lanyan didn't let go, and pulled Pang Xiaonan onto the dance floor.

Zhang Yao was very surprised, she didn't expect Pang Xiaonan to know the Du family, looking at Du Haoran and Du Lanyan's attitude towards Pang Xiaonan, it seems that he has a pretty good relationship with the Du family, and Du Lanyan, the little fox, actually robbed her boyfriend.

"Zhang Yao, you come over to me. ”

Mother Zhang pulled Zhang Yao aside.

"Let me ask you, what is the matter between you and Pang Xiaonan?"

Mother Zhang's expression was very serious.

"It's not going on, that's it, you saw it all. ”

Zhang Jiao is very embarrassed, although with Du Haoran's assistance, Zhang's mother may not hate Pang Xiaonan so much, but the Zhang family is not so easy to fool.

"Where have you and Pang Xiaonan gone?"

"This ...... It's just an ordinary boyfriend and girlfriend. ”

Zhang Yao is a thief, she and Pang Xiaonan are not even ordinary boyfriend and girlfriend, they can only be regarded as ordinary friends.

"Although this Pang Xiaonan doesn't look very good, it's ......"

Mother Zhang's eyes flickered a little.

"But what?"

Zhang Yao was afraid that Zhang's mother would expose her tricks on the spot.

"But if you like it, I'm not against it. ”

Zhang's mother's attitude came to a big reversal, which shocked Zhang Jiao all of a sudden.

Is this true? The Zhang family can actually take a fancy to Pang Xiaonan? Zhang Miao knows in her heart that in the Zhang family, as long as her mother does not object, her father and grandfather will not have any opinions.

"Mom, you really don't object to me being with him?"

Zhang Yao looked at Zhang's mother with a flicker.

"Fool, as long as you really like it, how can your mother object?" Zhang Mu smiled with satisfaction.

"His conditions are a little worse, but the Du family attaches great importance to him, you have to guard against Du Lanyan, I think, that little girl likes Pang Xiaonan. ”

Zhang's mother's vision is so accurate, and she can find the signs of affection between men and women at a glance.

In the middle of the dance floor, Pang Xiaonan stepped on the dance steps awkwardly, and stepped on Du Lanyan's instep several times.

"Brother Xiaonan, you are so stupid!"

Du Lanyan couldn't help but count Pang Xiaonan.

"I was born without literary and artistic ......" Pang Xiaonan helplessly hugged Du Lanyan, looking straight at the ground with a pair of eyes, for fear that he would make a mistake.

finally finished dancing a song, Pang Xiaonan's back was wet, this ballroom dance is really not a human dance.

Zhang Yao hurriedly took Pang Xiaonan from Du Lanyan's hand, went to a secluded corner, and said excitedly: "My mother agreed that we should be together." ”

"Huh?" Pang Xiaonan felt that his scalp was a little numb, but now it was a fake.

Pang Xiaonan found Du Haoran sullenly, "Old Du, I said that you are not in a panic, you have nothing to do with me?"

"What's wrong? The Zhang family doesn't look down on you?"

Du Haoran was tasting a cup of 82-year-old Jing Xiang, he was just afraid that Pang Xiaonan would be looked down upon by Zhang's mother, so he deliberately ran over to assist Pang Xiaonan, didn't he succeed?

"It's good that I can't see it, now I'm afraid I'm going to keep doing it. ”

Pang Xiaonan sighed and poured himself a cup of old well incense.

"It's been fake, but it's the real thing. Congratulations, come on, have a toast. ”

Du Haoran gloated and looked at Pang Xiaonan.

"Originally, I was here to make a cameo, and if I was troubled by you, I couldn't get out, and the Zhang family said that I would be invited to the house tomorrow. ”

Pang Xiaonan originally planned to return to Fengri County after the emergency in the rivers and lakes, but this Zhang family had to invite him to eat at home, if he didn't go, this fake boyfriend would be a gang, go, I'm afraid that it will be more auspicious.

"It's a good thing, take Zhang Yao down in one go. ”

Du Haoran looked at Pang Xiaonan puzzled, "Don't tell me, you really don't mean anything to Zhang Yao, what a good girl, don't you know how many people beat her in Zhongdu?"

"Would you like to have your granddaughter?"

Pang Xiaonan asked coldly.

"Well, each has its own strengths. Why, you still have my granddaughter's idea, you don't want to step on two boats at a time. ”

"I'd rather step on the water! and step on two boats at a time, I'm not so good at kung fu!"

At this time, Du Lanyan ran over, "Brother Xiaonan, since you have come to Zhongdu, why don't I take you to Zhongdu to play around tomorrow, and it can be regarded as my gratitude for your life-saving grace last time." ”

"Eh, Lan Yan, your brother Xiaonan has something important tomorrow, so don't get in his way. ”

Du Haoran looked at Pang Xiaonan with a smile, "If you need anything, just speak!"

Early the next morning, Pang Xiaonan was still chatting with Zhou Gong in his dream, and his mobile phone rang non-stop.

"Pang Xiaonan, are you up, come over when you're ready, you have to make a good impression on our family......" Zhang Xiao on the phone was verbose, and Pang Xiaonan's head was big when he listened.

"Got it, I'll be right away. ”

Pang Xiaonan got up with a yawn, freshened up, and went out in his clothes.

The Zhang family lives on Jingxiu Mountain, north of Zhongdu, and the layers of houses are hidden among the shadowy trees.

Pang Xiaonan took a taxi all the way, and the driver was curious: "Little brother, which big family are you going to, as far as I know, those who live in Jingxiu Mountain are all top wealthy families in Zhongdu." ”

"What does the top big family have to do with me, I'm just going to send something. ”

Pang Xiaonan didn't want to reveal his whereabouts, maybe this was the last time he came to Zhongdu, and there was no need to let passers-by know.
