Hearing He Mengxue's words, Chen Yan's heart "clunked."
After all, if He Mengxue accompanied him, wouldn't this entire scam be exposed?
If it were someone else in this situation, they would mostly panic.
But was Chen Yan "someone else"?
He wasn't.
He was a master of time management among several girls.
Although He Mengxue's reaction added some waves to his plan, it was within his expectations.
So, he pretended to be calm, nodded, and said, "Okay. Then you accompany me."
He said, "I don't really like such social gatherings. It's all just idle chatter, nothing interesting."
While nodding, He Mengxue comforted, "These social dinner parties are all like this."
"You run a company, so you have to make friends and build good connections."
"That's how you can grow."
She cited an example, "I remember when my dad was the busiest, he could be away from home for more than half a year, all spent mingling and running around for business. He only got home to sleep at night."
