"Big brother, I want to go out for a walk. I don't want to deal with these people. Seeing their hypocritical faces, I can't stand it!" Chen Kun said to Jiang Yi after scanning the nobles in the hall.
"En!" Jiang Yi nodded.
After Chen Kun bid farewell, he left the hall.
Jiang Yi actually didn't want to deal with these people, but there was no other way, he had to.
"You are a servant of the castle! Go and get me a glass of red wine!" A long-haired noble shouted at Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi was stunned for a moment, this guy actually mistook him for a servant of the castle.
But it was understandable, these people were all wearing branded formal wear, exuding an air of nobility. Only he was dressed ordinarily, not a noble, nor a prominent figure in any industry.
"I'm sorry, you've made a mistake. I'm not a servant of the castle. If you want someone to pour wine, find someone else!" Jiang Yi was not here to serve others.
"You are not a servant, then who are you? Looking at you, you don't seem like a noble like us." The long-haired noble frowned.
Many people's gazes shifted towards Jiang Yi, appraising him.
"Looking at the kid's attire, he's no different from a beggar on the street. I don't know why Prince Matthew invited someone like him. It's truly humiliating to be in the same place as such a lowly person!"
"This kid probably sneaked in. Otherwise, why would Prince Matthew invite someone like this to the party?"
"Don't bother with him. The guards will surely throw him out when they find him."
...
Several nobles looked at Jiang Yi with disdain.
Hearing this, Jiang Yi sneered. These people were truly judging others by their appearance.
Jiang Yi ignored them. If they didn't provoke him, he wouldn't bother with them. But if they dared to provoke him, he wouldn't be lenient.
Just then, a man with sharp eyes and blond hair, dressed in a black suit, walked in from outside the hall. This man appeared to be only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, but he looked very mature.
As soon as this man appeared, many people rushed to greet him, their faces filled with respectful smiles. It was evident that this man was no ordinary person, otherwise, these self-important and arrogant nobles wouldn't be so respectful to him.
"Mr. Jinmen, we heard you were in Mei Country and thought you wouldn't attend today's party!"
"I've long heard of Mr. Jinmen's great reputation. It's truly an honor to meet Mr. Jinmen today!"
"Mr. Jinmen, I have a big business deal here. Could you give me a business card? When Mr. Jinmen has time, we can discuss it!"
...
Everyone flocked around the man, fawning over him with pleased expressions.
Jiang Yi looked at this man named Jinmen with curiosity.
"Could it be that he is also Prince Matthew's adopted son?" Jiang Yi muttered.
Jiang Yi had heard from Cui Xi before that Prince Matthew had many adopted sons and daughters.
"Mr. Jinmen is indeed Prince Matthew's adopted son, and he is the most capable among all of Prince Matthew's adopted sons and daughters!" A servant passing by said, his face full of admiration, completely smitten.
Hearing this, Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows. It seemed his guess was correct.
"Mr. Jinmen is not only very capable, but also very handsome. He is one of the top handsome men in Ying Country. He is the person Prince Matthew trusts the most!" reported the Sudan Novel Network.
"Mr. Jinmen is the man that women in Ying Country most want to marry!" The servant leered at Jinmen.
Hearing this, Jiang Yi became interested in Jinmen. Prince Matthew had no children, so he would surely nurture a successor. Since Jinmen was so trusted by Prince Matthew, it was likely that Jinmen was Prince Matthew's successor.
At this moment, Jiang Yi caught Jinmen's attention. Jinmen glanced at Jiang Yi and smiled slightly, "I didn't expect there to be someone from Huaxia Country among today's attendees!"
Upon hearing this, many people looked towards Jiang Yi. Indeed, Jiang Yi was the only person from Huaxia Country in the entire hall, so it wasn't strange for Jinmen to notice him.
"Mr. Jinmen, judging by this kid's appearance, he shouldn't be someone invited by Prince Matthew. Today's attendees are either royals and nobles or top figures from various industries, and this kid is just a beggar. How could Prince Matthew invite him to the party?"
"That's right, this kid must have sneaked in. Perhaps he is a spy sent by the Ying Country royal family. He shouldn't be allowed to stay here. We should call someone to arrest him and interrogate him slowly!"
...
The crowd spoke.
Jinmen ignored the crowd and focused his gaze on Jiang Yi, asking, "Sir, may I ask if you are a guest invited by my adoptive father? I don't mean anything else, I'm just asking casually. After all, the Ying Country royal family has always been looking for trouble for my adoptive father, so I have to be cautious."
"I am a guest invited by Prince Matthew!" Jiang Yi replied.
Jiang Yi had initially thought that Jinmen, like Charles before him, was arrogant and overbearing. However, he didn't expect him to be so humble, explaining the situation politely while asking.
"Mr. Jinmen, how can we believe this kid's words?"
"He's definitely suspicious. I'll go call the guards now to arrest him!" The long-haired noble said to Jinmen.
"You are too suspicious. This gentleman doesn't look like he's lying. Besides, you have no evidence to prove he sneaked in, nor do you have evidence to prove he is from the Ying Country royal family. How can you arrest someone so casually?"
"If this is a misunderstanding, wouldn't it damage my adoptive father's reputation?"
"The Ying Country royal family has always been slandering my adoptive father. If this causes trouble, the Ying Country royal family will surely seize this opportunity to smear my adoptive father wantonly!" Jinmen said.
Hearing this, the crowd could only fall silent, daring not to say anything more.
"Sir, please don't mind them. They are just like this, always making a mountain out of a molehill!" Jinmen said to Jiang Yi with a smile.
"It's nothing!" Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jinmen. I am Prince Matthew's adopted son. I am not a big shot, just a bit capable, so my adoptive father often asks me to handle some matters for him!" After introducing himself, Jinmen asked Jiang Yi, "Sir, may I know your name?"
"My surname is Jiang!" Jiang Yi smiled slightly.
"So you are Mr. Jiang, a pleasure to meet you!" Jinmen was very polite, "We have met today. We will be working for Prince Matthew in the future, and perhaps we can become friends."
