Qin Qiaoer just took a casual glance and then shifted her gaze away, but she heard many people around her chattering about the man on the stage.
"Wow, he's so handsome! It seems our city is going to have another eligible bachelor."
Someone beside echoed, "Yeah, and he's the third young master of the Lin family. I wonder if Zhao Youting will feel threatened."
Hearing the name Zhao Youting, Qin Qiaoer took another careful look at the man on the stage. He was indeed as handsome as they said.
Different from Zhao Youting's aloof and cold demeanor, this man looked extremely arrogant.
After staring at the man on the stage for a while, Qin Qiaoer suddenly felt that he looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him for a moment. So she shook her head and stopped thinking about it.
They had finally made it here, and seeing so much delicious food, their stomachs were already growling.
Finally, after the man on the stage finished his speech, a group of women in the audience were lamenting that it was over so quickly. Only Qin Qiaoer happily led Qin Chenchen and Qin Wanwan towards the small cakes.
However, as soon as the lights came on, Qin Chenchen and Qin Wanwan became the center of attention. As soon as people saw them, they all swarmed around.
Seeing people doting on the kids, Qin Qiaoer just smiled and didn't join in. She quietly walked to one side.
Just as she was happily enjoying the food, suddenly she felt a tall figure approaching from beside.
Looking up, she found that the dazzling man who had been on the stage just now had walked up to her. He smiled and said, "Qiaoer, long time no see."
Qin Qiaoer stared blankly at the man in front of her and started to wrack her brains to recall where she had met him.
"Don't you remember? I'm Lin San."
Qin Qiaoer finally remembered who the man in front of her was. He was someone she had met during her five - year stay in the UK.
When Qin Qiaoer first arrived in the UK, she had taken several part - time jobs by herself. One of them was working in a coffee shop, and Lin San was her colleague at that time.
Since they were both Chinese, they quickly got to know each other. They supported each other through those tough times.
But one day, Lin San suddenly disappeared. No matter how Qin Qiaoer tried to contact him, she couldn't get in touch. Although she was very worried at that time, there was nothing she could do.
Qin Qiaoer never expected that she would meet Lin San again here today. Moreover, he had now transformed into the third young master of the Lin family. He looked a bit different from before, which was why she didn't recognize him at first.
"It's really you! I was just thinking you looked familiar! How come you..." Qin Qiaoer didn't finish her sentence.
Lin Wenyi smiled and said, "Do you believe I came here specifically to find you?"
"Stop joking. Seriously, what exactly happened to you? Are you going to stay in the country from now on?" Qin Qiaoer was actually very happy to see an old friend suddenly.
"It's a long story. Our family sends the younger generation abroad for experience. I just happened to meet you at that time. Now I'm back and I'm not leaving."
Just as the two were reminiscing about the past, Qin Chenchen and Qin Wanwan came over. They were also very excited to see Lin Wenyi and hugged his legs on either side.
"Brother Lin San! Why are you here!"
Qin Qiaoer couldn't help but smile. She didn't expect that the two kids would recognize him first when she herself hadn't. Maybe the kids recognized his person rather than his whole appearance.
Lin Wenyi was also very happy to see the two kids. He used to often go to Qin Qiaoer's place in the UK to take care of the kids and had a deep bond with them.
Qin Qiaoer couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia. She never expected to meet an old acquaintance here again, and both of them were no longer the penniless people they used to be.
They both had good lives now, but she had always cherished those past memories in her heart.
Actually, Lin Wenyi had come here specifically to run into Qin Qiaoer.
After investigating Qin Qiaoer, he knew that Qin Qiaoer and her kids had roles in this movie, so he was sure they would be present today.
This movie wasn't invested by him, but by his second elder brother. He specifically called his second elder brother and asked to come here on his behalf.
His second elder brother was happy to be idle, but he was also very curious as to why his younger brother, who had never liked managing family affairs, would choose to give a speech on this occasion.
Lin Wenyi's second elder brother thought he did it for Song Qianqian, because he had heard that his younger brother had arranged Song Qianqian into this crew. He even specifically advised his younger brother not to take this woman too seriously, as she wasn't a good person.
In the end, he only got a cold reply from his younger brother: "Mind your own business."
In this current occasion, Lin Wenyi was like a shining light bulb. Wherever he went, many people flocked to him, eager to talk to him.
He knew this wasn't a good time to talk to Qin Qiaoer. He wanted to wait until the end and have a good chat with her alone. Qin Qiaoer also noticed this, so she quietly led the two kids to one side.
As the celebration banquet was about to end, Lin Wenyi sneaked up to Qin Qiaoer and said, "I'll take you home later."
Qin Qiaoer's expression suddenly became a bit strange. She had already told Zhao Youting that he would pick her up later.
They had arrived a bit late because they had been talking about this at home with Zhao Youting.
When they were about to leave, Zhao Youting wanted to go with them. He said it was the kids' first celebration banquet and he wanted to go too.
Qin Qiaoer had persuaded him for a long time at home, saying that it wasn't appropriate to appear in public now. They didn't have any official relationship yet, so it wasn't suitable for Zhao Youting to appear with them.
Hearing what Qin Qiaoer said, Zhao Youting regretted even more that he hadn't invested in this movie. But all he could do was sit dejectedly in a corner of the sofa, silently watching them pack their things.
