"Old Qin, do you have some kind of misunderstanding about what 'fair-skinned and delicate' means?" Wang Zheng interjected, patting Qin Fen on the shoulder unceremoniously.
Before he could finish, Wang Congcong, who was watching the fun from the side, added, "Look at what you've done to your hands. Anyone who didn't know better would think you're some child trafficker. It's no wonder the kid was scared of you."
Chen Hao also chimed in, "Forget it, Brother Qin. Have you forgotten that time on the roadside when a Little Girl was so scared of you she immediately went looking for her mom?"
Qin Fen glanced at Chen Hao. "Stop talking nonsense. She was smearing snacks on the logo of my rolls-royce, so I told her to blow it clean for me. Who knew she'd go around crying that some creepy uncle wanted her to blow it? I don't know what's wrong with kids these days; their thoughts are so filthy."
Everyone was amused by Qin Fen's words.
"Alright, this is Sister An's child. Don't say such things in front of her; you'll corrupt the little friend," Jiang Cheng spoke up.
Upon hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Wang Zheng and Qin Fen became even more curious.
"Sister An? You mean An Xin?"
"Holy crap, I knew she had a child, but I didn't expect the kid to be this big. Old Jiang, not to mention, standing with you, she actually looks a bit like you," Wang Zheng said with a grin.
Chen Hao also leaned in for a closer look. "That's right. When you were buying watches last time, seeing how intimate you two were, you and Sister Xin couldn't possibly..."
"Cut the crap... don't talk nonsense."
Seeing them say this, Annie didn't get angry; instead, she happily burrowed into Jiang Cheng's embrace. "I look like Brother Jiang Cheng? I'm so happy!"
"Don't listen to their nonsense. It's enough that you look like your mom. Why would you want to look like me? I'm a boy; looking like me wouldn't be pretty."
Watching the heartwarming scene between the two, Qin Fen shook his head. "I really can't stand this kind of thing. By the way, I just spoke to my dad, but he only gave me 200 million. I scraped together some myself and barely managed to reach 400 million. How should we arrange this money?"
Wang Zheng followed up, "I don't have that much; I only managed to scrape together 300 million."
Seeing how high their amounts were, Chen Hao immediately stood up in a panic with a long face. "Holy crap, I thought I was doing alright, but it turns out I'm the poorest one? That won't do..."
Before Chen Hao could finish his sentence, An Xin hurriedly pushed open the door to their private room.
Behind her followed a refined-looking man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a black suit.
Seeing An Xin enter with a panicked expression, Annie immediately jumped down from Jiang Cheng and ran quickly toward her.
"Mom, I finally found you!"
Annie cried out as she hugged An Xin's leg.
An Xin had originally intended to scold Annie, but she froze when she saw the room full of people.
Seeing several familiar faces, An Xin's expression softened considerably.
She greeted everyone politely.
Then, she gave Jiang Cheng a somewhat guilty smile.
Every time Annie snuck away and went missing, she would happen to run into Jiang Cheng. For An Xin, this was both fortunate and unfortunate.
It was fortunate because Annie was safe when she met Jiang Cheng, but unfortunate because her image as Annie's guardian would definitely lose points in Jiang Cheng's mind.
An Xin gave Jiang Cheng a bashful smile and said, "I'm sorry, Jiang Cheng, I've troubled you again."
She, who always prided herself on being a strong single woman, showed a rare hint of shyness in front of Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng smiled. "It's no trouble, really. I can only say that Annie has very good luck."
Hearing a hint of reproach toward her in Jiang Cheng's tone, An Xin didn't argue; she only gave a bitter smile.
After all, she really hadn't done a good job as a guardian.
The refined man in glasses following An Xin scanned the people in the room.
With his sharp eyes, he spotted Wang Congcong and Qin Fen.
He hadn't expected to encounter these Second-generation rich guys here.
Seeing that they knew An Xin, Wen Ang took the initiative to greet them.
"Hello everyone, I'm An Xin's friend. My name is Wen Ang, and my family is in the export business. Here is my business card."
After speaking, he took several business cards from his pocket and handed them to each of them.
They were all Second-generation rich who were cautious in their words and actions; after accepting the cards, they each gave a standard, polite greeting.
After all, it was their first meeting. Although they weren't close, they still maintained basic etiquette.
After the greetings, Wen Ang glanced at Annie, who was beside An Xin.
This was the daughter An Xin had out of wedlock and frequently flaunted by her side.
Originally, Wen Ang hadn't wanted to marry An Xin. There were plenty of people in their circle who were unmarried with children.
But usually, they would secretly send the children abroad, as it wasn't exactly something to be proud of...
