Fortunately, Chu Yinan was already used to wearing suits with his large body size, otherwise he would have felt uncomfortable and out of place.

However, this body of his has always been used for doing bad things, and this is the first time he has shown his face in public like this.

At this moment, Chu Yinan, who was at the so-called island banquet, felt deeply tired and uncomfortable.

"Look around, have you seen anything interesting?" Morgan asked, holding a wine glass in his hand, ready to clink glasses with anyone who came up to offer a toast.

However, this toasting ceremony is quite interesting. Normally, after toasting, both parties should drink the rest of the glass, or at least take a sip as a gesture. But Morgan usually just toasts without drinking. After watching the person offering the toast finish their drink, he nods to indicate that he has received their greeting.

She would only take a sip when she encountered musicians or master brewers.

Because it was a private conversation, Chu Yinan, who already lacked confidence in front of her venomous aunt, was able to speak softly and quietly: "I didn't see anything, I'm just not used to this kind of occasion, and it's not quite what I imagined..."

Another middle-aged man dressed as an entrepreneur from outside the island came over with his son, hoping to get acquainted with the head of the Leffe family and make his face known. However, it was estimated that there was no major business relationship between them. Morgan ignored him this time and focused on talking to Chu Yinan without turning his head.

"How are they different?"

"Uh..." Chu Yinan struggled to organize his lines in his mind.

His imagined island-themed dinner should exude an air of high society. Like the two-person show at the Imperial Hotel in the Fate series, or the high-altitude restaurant in the first CG of Fate/stay night—the scenes alone conveyed the extravagance and sophistication of a wealthy, privileged class.

As a result, the Glory Island Day banquet here really took over the entire street.

Although the servants had worked hard to dress me up, and the atmosphere and pomp were all there, with maids walking around serving wine and fruit platters, and violinists and pianists all around, it was still irritating!

"I feel like we're eating at a village banquet right now, just like eating at a street food stall," Chu Yinan said, scratching his head.

Morgan frowned. Although she had never attended a banquet, she still knew what it was like. It would have been better if Chu Yinan hadn't mentioned it; after he did, she herself felt there was a certain resemblance.

The organizers of the Island Day banquet mostly wanted to show off. It was rare for the quiet Glory Island to let ordinary people in, and if they didn't put on a grand show in a conspicuous place, they would feel uncomfortable for a whole year!

As a result of the cerebral hemorrhage, he came up with the aristocratic version of a feast at the village entrance, which is truly impressive!

"What you're saying, little guy, makes me want to go back."

"Then let's not delay any longer?" Chu Yinan couldn't sit still any longer and was ready to get up and run away.

"Not yet. Heinrich is right there in the restaurant window on the second floor of the building to your left, waiting for the family to come and make a fool of themselves. Even if you want to leave, she won't let you go."

After being reminded by Aunt Morgan, Chu Yinan glanced at the restaurant window next door and immediately spotted the woman's father.

After making eye contact, she waved to Chu Yinan.

Gan!

I thought you were at home, but it turns out you've been just watching the show.

There was no one there yet; the tables belonging to the Leffe family were all empty. Apart from him and Aunt Morgan, there was nothing for him to do, so Chu Yinan secretly took out his phone to play around and, incidentally, bombarded Heinrich with information.

However, it seems that Heinrich didn't bring his phone, so Chu Yinan's plan was in vain. He could only start spying on the class group chat again.

This "village entrance banquet street" is the main road of the nearby commercial district of Golory. The Golory commercial district is on par with the once glorious Ginza, with extremely high consumption levels and world-renowned shops.

Those students who are willing to visit Glory Island will likely have their families splurge on some luxury accommodations in Glory Island as well.

Since you've already spent all that money on luxuries, it would be a shame not to show it off everywhere—post it on your social media, share it on WeChat Moments, tweet it, or in chat groups with classmates and colleagues.

Sure enough, Song Maren probably forgot the pain from last time after seeing that Chu Yinan, that good-for-nothing, had been lying there for so long without making a sound, and started secretly pretending to be a big shot again.

[Song Maren: (Location) Are there any classmates here at Glory? I didn't expect my uncle to get along so well with his business partner, and to be invited to the main banquet on Violet Avenue.]

[Song Maren: (Photo.jpg) (Photo.jpg) Quiet amidst the hustle and bustle, the nobles of Glory Island are indeed formidable. In a place like Golore, they've cleared out the main road for their own use.]

"Sorry, I'm watching the group chat again. You perform first." Before the Lefie family members took their seats, Chu Yinan could only amuse himself by watching the group chat.

It has to be said that Song Maren's parents are really capable. Being able to represent the company here means they'll probably be promoted and secure a high-ranking position when they get back.

[Möller: Really? The entire area around Violet Avenue, within a kilometer radius, has been cleared out. We can only sneak a peek from the nearby restaurants.]

[Hannibal: It's ridiculously expensive! All my allowance was confiscated, and I only managed to snag a room in a rather out-of-the-way hotel with a barely visible view of Violet Avenue.]

[Donina: Hehe, I'm different! I ran into the Bachmann School Nurse! She took me to the banquet hall, and my mom was so envious.]

Donina is the class's life committee member. Whenever classmates feel unwell, or when the school's health office makes any arrangements, they have to contact her. Naturally, she has a lot of contact with the school doctor.

[Möller: So how did you get your hands on Chu Yinan's photos last time?]

[Song Maren: It's probably just some netizen he met who forwarded it to him. See, he hasn't followed up since. He's been lurking since posting the photo, just because he feels guilty. Lianxiu, Martin, and those other guys have all fallen silent. Don't you understand what that means? @Chu Yinan @Martin @Lianxiu]

[Song Maren: Look at them, they don't even dare to utter a sound. Once they reach a certain level, these argumentative types just play dead.]

The students who were originally active have all fallen silent and gone into hiding. Sharing is one thing, but showing off is another.

Normal classmates wouldn't go so far as to argue and make things so awkward; it's only Song Maren who's petty and loves to cause trouble.

"You've tagged me, it wouldn't be right for me not to chime in." Chu Yinan was secretly delighted; she'd been looking for something funny!

Chu Yinan wouldn't dare post a picture with a caption to show off his life; he always felt awkward about it. But deep down, he had a bit of that pretentious, adolescent desire to show off.

It can only be said that Song Maren was indeed a classmate, as he actually took the initiative to help him put on an act.

"Aunt Morgan, may I take a picture?"

"random."

Chu Yinan positioned his phone in the perspective of a dwarf, took a picture of the dining table, sent it to the class group, and then reluctantly typed "Versailles".

[Chu Yinan: @What am I doing? Eating. The decorations here are a bit rustic, like a village feast. Anyway, I'm leaving.]

[Martin: Hey Rem, Chu Yinan, have you been lurking in the class group chat all day waiting for photos to be posted?]

[During the long weekend: What happened with that maid photo from last time? Explain yourself!]

[Möller: You really are here! How did you get in?!]

As is customary, Chu Yinan kept his achievements hidden and gratefully put his phone away, as someone had taken their seat.

A young couple holding a baby walked over and greeted Morgan; they appeared to be from the Leffe family.

"Aunt Morgan, it's been a long time! You're still as beautiful as ever! It's a pity our little Lamb can't speak yet, otherwise I would definitely teach him to greet you."

Morgan held the baby for a while and then handed him back to his mother. "Well, it's been a long time. I'm already very happy to see you all here. Don't make things so difficult for little Lamb."

"This gentleman looks unfamiliar. May I ask who he is?" The man looked at Chu Yinan.

"Let me introduce you. This is my adopted son. You can call him Yan Yinan. He has been entrusted to someone else to take care of him before."

"Pfft!" Chu Yinan choked on the spot.

This isn't the script we agreed on!

Chapter 140 You wouldn't believe it, but this is all thanks to my connections!

Before coming here, Aunt Lefie and Heinrich had clearly discussed the role of a male companion and business partner, but suddenly it turned into an adopted son!

“Aunt Lefie, are you joking?” The man had barely finished speaking when he realized that his question was inappropriate. Regardless of whether it was true or not, he couldn’t question Lefie. So he greeted Chu Yinan first: “Hello, let me introduce myself. My name is Koser, this is my wife Angel, and our precious little Lamb.”

Chu Yinan was caught in a dilemma, unsure of what Aunt Lefei was up to. He could only straighten his back, adopt the demeanor of a father, nod, and briefly introduce himself without revealing any further information.

The tables seemed to be arranged according to family status, and the young couple sat down at an empty table next to them.

Chu Yinan glanced at her elegant aunt beside her with a conflicted expression, resting her head on her hand, her beautiful blue eyes fixed on the vase of flowers on the table, as if pondering something interesting.

"Auntie, how did I suddenly become your child? Did you change the script?" Chu Yinan asked in a low voice, feeling lost.

The original script was that he would come and be a glutton, at most shaking hands and nodding, then just eating in silence, without doing anything else.

Suddenly, he became the shared son of his aunt and his female father, which put Chu Yinan under a lot of pressure.

Moreover, he couldn't see whether his aunt's relationship with his female father was good or bad. He was worried that she might try to claim him as her son. However, Chu Yinan was determined to choose his female father, as he seemed to be the more accommodating one.

"Yes, I think that would be more interesting, and you wouldn't have to worry about being investigated. You can just change back later."

Okay, then I'll just obediently be a tool.

Being extremely cautious, Chu Yinan didn't even dare to use his phone anymore, as saying too much would lead to mistakes. He could only pass the time by looking at pretty aunties and older sisters everywhere.

His gaze seemed to linger on the bustling banquet hall, but in reality, he was observing the clothing of each woman present... and taking a look at their figures.

The people who come are basically dressed formally, and their evening gowns are always adorned with sparkling and expensive jewelry. At the very least, they have to be dressed in a business suit before they can enter.

Among them, only Aunt Lefie didn't change her clothes and came in wearing the casual clothes she wore while shopping. Even so, her temperament was no less than anyone else's.

The dark green high-necked fitted short-sleeved top has a cutout at the back, with the delicate cutout pattern reflecting the beauty of her snow-white back and the whiteness of her jade-like skin. The gray bodycon knee-length skirt features a back slit design, which is completely closed when sitting down, but when walking, the backs of her two slender legs appear alternately from side to side. The slit goes all the way up to the absolute territory, and if it were any shorter, it would expose her buttocks.

Admittedly, when Chu Yinan was following behind her, his eyes were drawn to his beautiful aunt's calves; their whiteness was so striking that even the flesh-colored stockings covering them couldn't conceal it.

"Hmm? I just saw a woman in a dark kimono who looked familiar. That ribbon at the waist was such a nuisance, I couldn't even recognize her butt. Could she be a female monster?"

Chu Yinan wanted to make an excuse to go to the restroom, and then take the opportunity to sneak around and confirm whether the woman he had just seen was a female monster, but the Lefebvre family members made their grand entrance one after another.

It was too late to leave now, so he could only try to ease his tension by mentally simulating the arrival of the village's aunts and grandmothers at the large round table at the village entrance.

"What exactly happened with Morgan? Why have I never heard you mention this before!"

The man who came up aggressively and questioned them was a middle-aged man with graying hair and beard. Although his beard was white, his energy and spirit were no less than that of a young man.

Among the people who sat down afterward, some were elderly women, and others were young women of similar age to Aunt Lefie.

However, neither of them spoke, and they simply waited for Morgan's reply.

"I heard that some of you, and some of the older folks who didn't come, are having a very leisurely vacation, and now you want to arrange some marriage for me to cause trouble? Do you feel that your days are numbered and want to see your family grow more prosperous before you die? I'm kind-hearted and don't want to let you have any regrets, so I brought my adopted son with me, didn't I?"

Morgan casually raised an eyebrow and glanced disdainfully at the elders, while at the same time playing with and stroking Chu Yinan's chin with one hand.

There's some juicy gossip!

Chu Yinan dared not move, pretending to be a blockhead and silently watching the show.

The aunt's words were indeed threatening. Those well-off elders were in good spirits, but the aunt spoke as if they were about to die.

And Auntie, could you please stop touching my face? Who touches their adopted son like that...?

The elders seemed to have no way to deal with Morgan now, and could only talk under the guise of their status as family elders. They were blocked by Morgan twice, but Morgan still refused to give up.

The focus quickly shifted to the pitiful and innocent Mr. Chu; the old man used a strategy of retreat as a means of advancement:

"Adopting a child is your own private matter, and we have no right to interfere with how you behave in private. But since you're bringing it into the open, who is this person? Are you trying to find an unknown person to embarrass the family?"

"I would love to experience the humiliation of defeat, but I can't help it, my abilities don't allow it. I also took the opportunity to clean up the mess that Uncle Rotfal made when you sided with the Isaacs."

Grandma Li, why does Chu Yinan feel like she's being mocked for not having a family background?

Why don't we call Yenisetta over, have him use Deus Ex, and teach this old man a lesson?
