Xu Dan and the others continued the topic of "grand dresses" in the group, Chi Nuan chatted with them word by word, and Gu Ningzi had already started playing games.
The car entered the expressway from the west of Yuncheng, and the toll station met the traffic police for a temporary inspection. Secretary Su handed out the driver's license through the window.
Seeing this scene, Chi Nuan secretly rejoiced that it wasn't Gu Ningzi who was driving today, otherwise it would be troublesome.
Secretary Su passed the inspection, and when he put away his driver's license, he glanced at Gu Ningzi with a half-smile.
The journey was not short, and the group chat became quiet after Xue Min received Xu Dan and the others. Chi Nuan put away her phone and went over to watch Gu Ningzi play games. She doesn't usually play these things, and she can't see any way for a while, so she can't help yawning. Gu Ningzi asked her, "Can you sleep for a while?"
Chi Nuan nodded.
Gu Ningzi shook off the thin blanket, and Chi Nuan put the blanket over it and leaned back on the chair, closing her eyes.
Halfway through the journey, Secretary Su looked up at the rearview mirror. The sun visors in the back seat were all pulled down, and Chi Nuan didn't know when to put the pillow on Gu Ningzi's shoulders, her chest undulating evenly, and she slept well.
"Aning." Secretary Su wanted to say something, but Gu Ningzi shook her head, motioning her not to make a sound.
…
Chi Nuan was awakened by Xu Dan's call, and Xu Dan asked where they were now.
Chi Nuan rubbed her eyes and looked around. The car got off the expressway early and entered the urban area of L City. She saw a completely unfamiliar street scene in front of her. She looked at it blankly and asked Gu Ningzi, "Where have we been?"
Secretary Su took over the words: "It's almost there, there will be about ten minutes if there is no traffic jam."
Chi Nuan relayed it to Xu Dan, and Xu Dan said, "Well, let's talk about it when you arrive - we're almost there, and your car will drive directly into the basement."
Xu Dan's tone sounded a bit strange, Chi Nuan said to Gu Ningzi: "It seems that something happened, Xu Dan will talk about it again, let's drive the car directly into the basement."
The car entered the underground garage, and when passing the elevator, Chi Nuan saw Xu Dan at a glance. She was really well dressed and stood out in the crowd.
Chi Nuan scratched at the car window and said, "It's them! There!"
Secretary Su heard the words and found a parking space nearby.
The three got out of the car one after another, Xue Min noticed Chi Nuan, his eyes stopped on her for a few seconds, then swept to Gu Ningzi beside her, and moved away instantly.
Xu Dan reunited with Chi Nuan, and told her immediately: "There is something wrong with the room Xue Min reserved. We are almost there. The person in charge of the hotel here contacted Xue Min and said that she had reserved the one in advance. The presidential suite was taken away by her stepmother. . . . Damn, why didn't I think of wearing a cheongsam, it's so beautiful!"
"..." Chi Nuan directly ignored her last paragraph, and compared her lips: "Stepmother?"
Xu Dan also lowered his voice cooperatively: "We guessed it. Listening to the tone of Xue Min's answering the phone, how could the mother-daughter relationship be so bad!"
"..." Your guess is too bold.
Chi Nuan looked at Xue Wen, who was talking to a middle-aged man in formal clothes.
"...Miss, I'm really sorry, I tried to adjust other rooms for you. Although it's not as good as the presidential suit, the viewing position is also very good. Can you see if you can..." The man in formal suit rubbed the seam of his trousers while talking. Seems very nervous.
Xue Min: "Since there are still vacancies, why let her take mine?"
"Mr. opened the mouth, I mentioned the eldest lady, but Mr. he..."
"What did my dad say?"
"Mr. said that the madam is going to entertain guests..." That person didn't dare to look directly at Xue Min, Xue Min knew that this kind of person's words were half of what they said, and there might be some unpleasant words behind, which he omitted.
Her expression was tense, and after a moment, she sneered and said, "Okay, I'll let it. It's not necessary to live here."
"Miss, we are holding the premiere of "Capturing the Dragon" here, and the hotels in the surrounding area are all full in the past two days, all of them are fans of star chasers..."
He was kindly reminding him, but Xue Min scolded coldly, "Shut up!"
Xu Dan and the others were used to seeing Xue Wen, who was soft-spoken, and almost forgot that she was called the eldest sister of No. 1 Middle School in private by her classmates.
Du Min said, "Xue Min must be very angry."
Xu Dan was full of indignation: "I think her stepmother deliberately gave her color, Awen is tough, we can't hold her back, we can't stop it, we can't stop it, the big deal is to go back to Yuncheng overnight!"
Several people nodded and reached a consensus without any surprise.
Gu Ningzi turned back, Secretary Su met her gaze, walked back to the car clearly, pulled out a tablet from the car, and leaned against the car to browse.
Even though the man was scolded, he still nodded and said to Xue Min, "Miss, it's time for dinner. We have prepared the meal you ordered, and the ingredients are the best and freshest. Let's not mention anything else, Would you like to invite your friends to go up and pamper your stomach first?"
Xue Min frowned impatiently, but didn't say anything about refusing. She knew that everyone was hungry, so she refused at this time, and she couldn't find a more suitable place to eat.
The man watched his words and immediately pressed the elevator button up.
The elevator slowly descended, and Secretary Su handed the tablet to Gu Ningzi. Gu Ningzi glanced at it and nodded. Secretary Su put away the tablet, took out his mobile phone, and walked aside to make a call.
The elevator arrived, and everyone filed in. Chi Nuan saw that Secretary Su had not come back, and asked Gu Ningzi what was going on. Gu Ningzi said, "Don't worry about her, she will arrange for herself."
When they got to the floor, they walked into the reserved dining room. There is a whole transparent floor-to-ceiling window embedded on the wall, with an exceptionally wide field of vision, standing by the window, overlooking almost half of L City.
The sky was dyed red by the setting sun, and the lights had not yet turned on. The atmosphere was quite dull at first, but when Xu Dan saw it, he couldn't help lying on the window and screaming "Wow", took a selfie, and pulled others to take a photo.
Du Min: "...I wanted to ask, what is the operation of your dress and sneakers?"
Xu Dan: "Don't mention it! I tried high heels at home yesterday, my god, it's like a torture device, can I still walk? I can't move at all, and my heel hurts terribly!"
Du Min: "Then you can wear a different skirt!"
Xu Dan: "You're still here? I've bought everything!! Let's break up the friendship!!!"
Everyone was amused by Xu Dan, and her gag revived the atmosphere. Xue Min was also caught and took a few pictures. Xu Dan pointed out the window and asked her, "There, Ah Min, look, it's an island? It's really beautiful!!"
Everyone looked out.
Far away, where the water is vast, a long road leads to a small island nestled in the water. The water quality of the entire water area is as clear as a mirror, and the island is lush with greenery. At first glance, the visual impact is quite shocking.
"Xiting Island, a wealthy area in a wealthy area." Xue Min explained with a smile and greeted everyone to take their seats. In a short time, exquisite dishes came to the table one after another.
Chi Nuan ate while paying attention to Gu Ningzi opposite. Gu Ningzi has always been squeamish when eating outside. She was worried that her chopsticks would not move, but she finally felt relieved when she saw Gu Ningzi pick a bowl of seafood soup and drink it.
Xu Dan was happy to eat, and he started to praise Xue Min incessantly. Finally, he patted the table heartily, stood up, and held up his juice glass to respect Chi Nuan: "Nuan Nuan, thank you! If you hadn't introduced Xue Min Get to know us, how can we eat these delicious foods? The most important thing! We will see Lin Shen soon!!"
"Hahaha, respect! Respect!" Du Min and Zhao Jingjing also stood up to clink glasses with Chi Nuan, Zhao Jingjing said, "Speaking of this, Awen, we are all curious, how did you and Nuan Nuan know each other? ah?"
Xu Dan laughed loudly: "Yes, yes! We Nuan Nuan are estimated to have amnesia, and she can't remember such an important thing!"
"..." Chi Nuan was toasted and teased by them, and said helplessly: "It's not that I don't remember, it's really nothing, even if you ask Xue Wen, the answer is the same..."
How could Xu Dan believe her, and excitedly urged Xue Min: "Awen! Awen, tell me!"
When Xue Min was named, she turned her head and asked Chi Nuan, "Do you remember the first time we met?"
Meeting for the first time? Chi Nuan followed her words and recalled that No. 1 Middle School was only this old, and the two were of the same grade, and they had met so many times that she couldn't remember it at all, so she covered her mouth and shook her head at Xue Wen embarrassedly: "No. remembered… "
Xue Min smiled: "It was shortly after the first year of high school. I was rehearsing with some other classmates in the multi-functional studio. You opened the door and walked in from the outside."
"You've just finished your class there, and you've left a book and hurried around looking for it."
"The weather was bad that day, it was raining, and the tip of your umbrella kept dripping."
"Ah..." Chi Nuan whispered. If Xue Wen hadn't mentioned it, this little thing that was thrown out of the sky would never have resurfaced from the depths of her memory.
"Huh", Xu Dan pulled up the off-shoulder dress a few times, tightly covering his chest: "One is playing the cello on the stage, and the other is standing below with a dripping umbrella. Romantic look…”
Her tone was quite puzzled, and Du Min spit out all the juice in one mouthful.
Xu Dan often said nonsensical things, but Chi Nuan was used to it, but Xue Wen unnaturally touched the earring on the earlobe and wanted to say something, but the private room door was pushed open from the outside.
A well-dressed lady walked in with a young and handsome little meat in her arms, and a strong scent of rose water quickly spread in the air as she approached.
Her eyes swept around the table, locked on Xue Wen, and immediately squinted her eyes with a smile: "Awen! Your aunt said that you are also here, and I have to come to see you anyway."
Xue Min slowly leaned back on the chair: "I thought who was her distinguished guest, it turned out to be Aunt Sun, long time no see."
The lady who was called Auntie Sun laughed out loud: "The last time I saw you was two years ago. You are even more beautiful in a blink of an eye."
Xue Min: "Aunt Sun's eyesight is getting better and better."
Xue Wen was speaking to Ms. Sun, but she meant to that little fresh meat. Ms. Sun waved her hand and said, "Where is it! - We Xu Xu are a star, why isn't Director Wang coming today, I'll give him a recommendation."
In front of a table of people, Xiao Xianrou was blushed by Ms. Sun's inner and outer meaning, and touched her nose embarrassingly.
Xue Min showed an expression of sudden realization: "So it's still Aunt Sun who can think about it, what kind of man do you want when you are worth your weight? It's not like my aunt, who is young and beautiful, but has to find an old man like my father. ."
Hearing this, Xu Dan winked at Chi Nuan: Look, I guessed right, Xue Min is now his stepmother, and the relationship is still very tense.
"Awen, you're just joking. Why is Mr. Xue an old man? Your aunt told me that Mr. Xue is in bed—"
"Ah yo", she patted her mouth lightly, "Look at what I said, in front of the children at this table, it's really time to fight. Don't you mind? Auntie is just straight."
Everyone could tell that this Ms. Sun was here for Xue Wen. Xue Min's face had already sunk, and naturally no one would answer the "don't mind".
Ms. Sun let go of Xiao Xianrou, approached Xue Wen, leaned over her chair and leaned over affectionately, "Look at me, I'm talking nonsense, and I almost forgot about business - I come to L City often, But I haven't bothered your aunt before. It's not the premiere here, so I have a word with your aunt. Who knows that your aunt is enthusiastic, and your father spoils her again, and directly buys the presidential suit you ordered earlier. Give it to me, I'm so embarrassed! Besides, you brought so many classmates and friends here, it's too bad for you to change rooms temporarily, isn't it... "
Xue Min snorted.
"So I thought that when the premiere was over, I would be the host. Would you please have a late night snack? How about it, do the children here want to show their faces?" Ms. Sun said, and patted the back of her chair a few times with a smile. .
Xue Min smiled and lowered her eyes without laughing. Everyone didn't speak. Gu Ningzi set the dial, glanced at the time, raised her head and said to Ms. Sun, "You're welcome, we didn't stay here for the night."
"Oh?" Ms. Sun glanced at the source of the voice, "Then where do you live? You shouldn't have to rush back overnight, right? - Awen, that's not okay, it's hard to drive at night, and it's too dangerous to drive on the highway. "
Gu Ningzi: "Xiting Island."
Everyone in the private room: "…"
