Xia Yanyu had done these foolish things before, and Xu Fan just helplessly waved his hands and turned his attention back to the nearby food.

"Hmm?"

Before he could continue filling his half-full stomach, he saw the crowd around him all turn their gaze towards the main entrance.

It was likely that the organizer of this exhibition had arrived. During the car ride, Xiao Lan had mentioned that the organizer was not from Huaxia but a wealthy person from Thailand.

At the same time, he was also the biggest sponsor of the exhibition.

Coming to Huaxia with a substantial amount of funds, it could be said that half of the people who came today did so specifically for him.

Xu Fan set down the pastry he was holding and looked towards the main entrance along with everyone else, seeing a middle-aged man dressed in a Thai-style mandarin jacket entering the exhibition hall, accompanied by several individuals.

"Hmm? He looks familiar..."

Xu Fan scrutinized the Thai man for a few moments, furrowing his brows, feeling that he had seen this fellow somewhere before.

It was evident that accompanying this Thai man was none other than Uncle Yao, whom Xu Fan was waiting for.

With so many people present, Uncle Yao alone was accompanying the man, which was enough to show the significance of Uncle Yao's status.

Standing behind Uncle Yao was the same middle-aged man wearing a Sun Yat-sen suit whom Xu Fan had met before at the real estate event.

This must be Uncle Yao's bodyguard; Xu Fan still remembered that last time, it was he who had sent Chen Longhu flying with a slap.

With the main guest arriving, everyone moved to welcome him at the entrance, and even the Southeast Asian sponsors, who had been surrounded by the crowd before, each made their way over.

"Sawasdee ka."

To make acquaintance with the Thai dignitary, nearly everyone had brought interpreters, and several could even speak Thai themselves.

Facing everyone's greetings, the Thai sponsor brought his hands together and nodded, then pointed to the exhibits displayed around.

He chattered on in a burst, presumably to shift everyone's focus away from him; after all, the main goal today was to appreciate these exhibits.

Naturally, everyone agreed, but none of them were interested in the antiques and paintings around them at the moment.

Their main purpose today was to discuss business; even if the paintings, antique swords and other artifacts were valuable, they had no interest in giving them more than a glance.

But now that the main guest had spoken, everyone felt it would be inappropriate to keep blocking him. They dispersed, pretending to spread out, but their eyes remained on him.

"Mr. Jiya, since today's focus is on appreciating these fine objects, naturally we couldn't do without a good guide. As an old man, I'm at best half knowledgeable, but don't worry. Today, I invited a young gentleman who will guide us later to ensure your satisfaction," Uncle Yao said, speaking for the first time beside the Thai person, Jiya.

He had long washed his hands of past affairs, unlike others around him with their own motives. This time, he came firstly to accompany this visitor from Thailand to appreciate the items and, secondly, to kill his boredom.

Thinking that it is better to enjoy with others, he thought of inviting Xiao Lan and Xu Fan along. Now, chatting with Jiya, he began searching the exhibition hall for them.

"This damn kid..."

After searching for a while, he finally found Xu Fan near the dining table, leisurely savoring his wine. Uncle Yao couldn't help but frown.

This damn kid, was he treating the exhibition ticket I gave him as a meal ticket?

"You damn kid, eating doesn't cost money, does it?"

Xu Fan had always been irreverent, and Uncle Yao shared that trait, making them a pretty good match. When talking, they were not particular about decorum, and seeing Xu Fan only focusing on eating and not coming to find him, Uncle Yao glared and shouted.

The speaker may not have intended it, but the listeners took it to heart; coming from Uncle Yao, who was known for not being straightforward and having a bizarre temper, it might have conveyed a different implication to others.

Uncle Yao's identity was no simple matter, and his temper was even stranger, something almost everyone present was aware of.

This guy had been mooching food even before, and he hadn't stopped yet, making everyone think that Uncle Yao probably found him displeasing and wanted to kick him out now.

Unlike everyone else, besides Xiao Lan, there was only Xia Yanyu.

Xia Yanyu didn't know that Uncle Yao would come to this exhibition.

That Uncle Yao was accompanying the host now was even more unexpected for her.

She had seen it before when she went to the Yan Family, Xu Fan accompanying Uncle Yao...

At this moment, looking at Xu Fan, Xia Yanyu couldn't help feeling somewhat flushed.

"How could I have forgotten about this..."

Xia Yanyu muttered to herself, annoyed, now recalling what she had said and feeling utterly ridiculous.

Looking at Xu Fan now, she couldn't help thinking that the way she had been a moment ago must have seemed utterly humiliating to him...

"No!"

While she was regretting her past actions, suddenly, a few people by her side stood up, and Xia Yanyu couldn't help exclaiming.

But at such a time, who would listen to what she had to say?

Naturally disliking someone who just cared about eating and showed no understanding of interaction, and now with Uncle Yao who was accompanying Mr. Jiya speaking up, how could they miss a chance to show off and win favor?

"Where is security? Come quickly and throw out this guy who somehow sneaked in!"

"How do you do your job? Who let this guy in? Hurry up!"

The men who had been discussing business with Xia Yanyu earlier now looked at Xu Fan with faces full of anger, as if he were their father's killer, their words carried an indignant righteousness.

They even thought to themselves that this performance should surely earn them an eight out of ten from Uncle Yao.

Being playfully engaged with his young friend, Uncle Yao's face suddenly darkened when these ignorant guys unexpectedly jumped out.

His brow furrowed, he also started shouting.

"Security? Who let these people in?"

The Century Hotel security staff, who hurried over, were sweating profusely, not understanding what was happening.

This young man might not look wealthy, but he indeed showed an invitation...

"What are you waiting for? Can't you see that Uncle Yao is angry? Throw this guy out now!"

The people who had spoken earlier saw the few clueless security guards not knowing what to do and urged them again.

"Hold on!"

Just as the security guards were about to approach Xu Fan, Uncle Yao yelled loudly and stopped them.

He glared darkly at a few hopeful faces.

"Who told you that he was the one who upset me?"

"Huh?"

The few folks who had taken the chance to perform were momentarily stunned.

Wasn't it you who just said it yourself? How could you let such people in?

At that moment, Uncle Yao pointed at these few guys and scolded, "Who let these idiots in? Now throw them out!"
