The scene seemed to become eerily silent, and finally Shen Ci took a deep breath and raised his head.
"Hello, Director Ning!" She said this to Director Ning. Since she was here, there was nothing she couldn't get through, so she dared to look directly at him, as if she was not focused on anything else.
Director Ning knew that Wan Ru was Zhang Hanyu's ex-wife, but he didn't expect that she would get together with Zhou Yan. He didn't expect Zhou Yan to bring her here.
Director Ning likes Zhou Yan very much. Because this child is very measured in doing things, but today he brought Wanru here. Has his relationship with Wanru really reached the point of discussing marriage? Or does he have other intentions
Director Ning didn't want to make any assumptions. He came over to say hello openly and responded with a smile, "Okay, okay, thank you very much for coming to see me, old man."
It's just that neither the eldest wife nor Shen Mo expected this scene. Wan Ru's appearance was like a thunderstorm from the blue, not to mention that she appeared with Zhou Yan.
These two people are not good people. Zhou Yan has been wearing little shoes for Shen Mo for so many years. And this one seems to be even more extreme. In order to seek justice for Xia Yu, Zhang Hanyu was almost killed last time.
Aren't you here to seek justice for Shen Yan? Although Director Ning didn't know it, the eldest wife knew that it was Shen Yan and Xia Yu who were running around for peace.
Shen Mo had taken advantage of others. The eldest lady's palms were sweaty and she had to hold on to the floor-standing vase at the door of the hall to stand firm. Finally, it was Yang Ke'er who broke the deadlock.
"Wan Ru, I heard from Xia Yu that you two were dating before, and I even said that I wanted Zhou Yan to treat me before I even had time to tell him. Since we met today, you have to tell me clearly when to treat me."
It is true that Yang Keer and Zhou Yan have known each other for a long time, but their relationship is not very good, especially when he stole Shen Mo's girlfriend, which made Yang Keer always grudge. After all, Shen Mo is her cousin, and she is her cousin. I'm sorry.
The last time she came back, she and Xia Yu had a meal with Zhou Yan and had not had much contact with him other than that. However, she knew that Zhou Yan and Shen Yan had a very good relationship. The purpose of bringing Wanru to the birthday banquet was really to be with Wanru. Are they friends, or are they deliberately disgusting Shen Mo and Zhang Hanyu
If Shen Mo had a conflict with outsiders, Yang Keer would support Shen Mo without any doubt. But if compared with Shen Yan, Yang Keer would support Shen Yan without hesitation.
Zhou Yan didn't hide it, and replied with a smile: "Okay, let's make an appointment with Xia Yu. By the way, why hasn't she arrived yet?" He said it in a normal way, as if their relationship was really good enough to talk about marriage.
However, Shen Mo and others felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Why did they feel that they were coming with bad intentions
Liu Sijie had a big headache, and after waiting for Xia Yu to no avail, Zhou Yan made an appointment to go to a banquet together. The two met on the road, but when they arrived, they saw Wan Ru being in his car.
At that time, he seemed to have seen a ghost. What kind of trouble was this? I don’t know why, and it’s hard to ask. I was muttering in my heart, hoping nothing would happen soon.
But he could clearly see the tense atmosphere at the scene, so he could only swallow a breath and pay attention to Shen Yan's expression, which was quite natural.
Looking at Shen Mo again, he didn't seem to be about to explode on the spot. He breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly squeezed to the front, presented the gift he had brought, and sweetly flattered Director Ning: "Director Ning, this is what I brought A small gift, I hope you like it.”
These words saved the day, and the silent atmosphere was somewhat relieved.
Director Ning took it with a smile and handed it to the staff on the side, "I'm interested. As soon as I came back, I heard that Xiao Yan had a very powerful assistant and a very powerful secretary. I met the assistant, and it was indeed different. Fan Xiang. But why hasn’t Lao Xia’s daughter come yet?”
"Master Yan asked me to pick her up, but I heard that something happened at Ruyu Tower. But she also said that she would come over." Liu Sijie explained respectfully.
"I'm really looking forward to meeting Lao Xia's daughter." These words can be said by Ning Dong sincerely. Although he has not shown up in recent years, he has always been thinking about Shen and paying attention to her. .
Xia Yu was Shen Yan's most effective stopper, so he naturally spent a lot of effort on Xia Yu. The more he got to know her, the more interested he became in Xia Yu.
"Xiao Yan, how about you call Xia Yu again?" The second wife said without losing any opportunity.
"I've already sent her a message and she said she'll be there soon," Shen Yan said with a smile.
"Well, okay, she's here, Xiao Yan, you are responsible for bringing her to me." Director Ning said.
Shen Mo probably didn't meet at a suitable occasion. After all, so many friends and guests from the industry were present, and many media were invited. There were certain things that shouldn't be discussed, so he could only swallow hard and said: "Come in, everyone is at the entrance." It's not like that." After saying that, he didn't look at Wan Ru and Zhou Yan anymore, but looked away at Zhang Hanyu.
"Why are you so pale? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Shen Yan's words showed concern on the surface, but he was sighing in his heart.
Since you can't let go, why did you do something so heartbreaking in the first place? I regret it now, it’s too late!
Although in the hearts of Shen Mo and others, they felt as if they were here because Shen Yan had arranged to deliberately disgust people. The purpose is of course to take revenge on Shen Mo for monopolizing the Zeng family. After all, Shen Yan has the greatest contribution.
This is all their villainy, and Shen Yan never thought about it that way. Let alone Zhou Yan and Wanru come over and disrupt Uncle Ning's birthday party.
Everyone walked in with their own thoughts, but Zhang Hanyu seemed to be completely fixed there, looking at Wanru with cold eyes.
Wan Ru also felt it. She raised her head and bumped into Zhang Hanyu's eyes. The latter was like a cold sword. Even if the lights around her were bright, it still made her feel cold to the bones. Especially the stern look in his eyes, which seemed to be filled with resentment and murderous intent. It was as if his scalp could not help but tighten until Shen Mo said again: "Han Yu!"
Zhang Hanyu finally came back to his senses and moved his eyes back with difficulty.
"Master Mo!"
"Did you just say you were looking for me?" Seeing that he seemed to have lost his soul, Shen Mo felt quite guilty. If it hadn't been for doing things for him, Wan Rong wouldn't have had so many misunderstandings about Zhang Hanyu.
The two of them are now on the same page, and Shen Mo is responsible.
"Mr. Qiu wanted to talk to you just now." Zhang Hanyu took a deep breath and suppressed it temporarily.
Guests came in from time to time behind him. Zhou Yan and Wanru happened to be blocking the door, so he put his arm around her and said, "Shall we go in first?" His voice was light and gentle.
"Let's talk later." Zhang Hanyu whispered in Wanru's ear as he passed by her.
As if by conditioned reflex, he turned his body sideways, lowered his head and walked forward. The back suddenly stiffened.
At first, when Zhou Yan asked her to show his face at the birthday banquet, she was not too repelled. She only thought it was to give Zhang Hanyu a complete break and to show it to the media, but now she regrets it terribly.
Why come? But it was too late to escape now. People were already there, and she could even smell what Zhang Hanyu would say to her, and what would happen between them next.
After all, this was Director Ning's birthday party. If it was really messed up, she would feel very uneasy. She felt her steps were stopped and sweat started to form on her back.
Zhou Yan happened to be standing next to her at the time, and with his keen professional instinct, he noticed that something seemed wrong with her.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, let's go!" She took the lead and walked into the hall with her head down, as if running away, and Zhou Yan could only follow.
Zhang Hanyu, who was at the door, saw all this. The fresh green skirt and her fair skin were hard to avoid catching people's attention. He only glanced at Wan Ru with his peripheral vision and watched her run away with a half-smile. The crowd entering the hall.
Wan Ru regretted it very much and reluctantly followed Zhou Yan around the hall. There were many people, including some well-known media and reporters, but she was already out of her mind.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Zhou Yan asked worriedly, as if his face was frighteningly pale.
Ru Ru held his hands on the edge of the table and barely stood still: "No, it's just a little boring."
Zhou Yan glanced at his watch, it was still a while before the birthday banquet officially started.
"Would you like to go outside with you to get some fresh air?"
"No, I think..." She wanted to suggest that she go back first, but before she could finish her words, a figure approached her.
"Ayan!" Wanru turned around and saw an old man with half-grey hair. He looked a bit old, but his posture was relatively strong.
"Grandpa!" Zhou Yan responded, "This is Wanru, this is my grandpa!" Zhou Yan introduced.
Unexpectedly, his grandfather laughed and said, "No need to introduce, I have heard your grandfather tell you before." But his eyes were fixed on Wanru. This look showed that Wanru was quite satisfied.
As if feeling a little embarrassed, as he always disliked communicating with strangers, he only nodded slightly to his grandfather.
Grandpa didn't mind, but gently hooked Zhou Yan's shoulder: "This is the first time I meet Miss Wanru. I'm sorry, but can you let Ayan and I chat for a while alone?"
Holding a cocktail, he turned to Zhou Yan and said, "I'll go outside to get some fresh air first, and you two can chat." After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving Zhou Yan and his grandfather where they were.
After a few seconds of silence, grandpa finally spoke first, glanced at the figure that seemed to be retreating, and asked, "What do you mean?"
"What do you mean?" Zhou Yan didn't understand.
"Don't pretend to be like me. You didn't even bring it home for me to see. Do you still have a conscience?" Grandpa asked, but his tone was not particularly exaggerated.
Zhou Yan couldn't help but laugh: "Isn't it because you haven't been at home lately?"
This is the truth. Grandpa has been communicating in other places. If he hadn't heard that Zhou Yan was attacked and lost his memory, he wouldn't have come back so early.
After listening to Zhou Yan's explanation, grandpa's tone became much better, "Really?"
"Otherwise?" Zhou Yan bared his teeth.
It was like leaving the banquet hall and walking around in a strange hotel for a long time before I found a deserted and quiet place, like the empty grassland behind several rows of hotel main buildings. There were a few signboards on the grass, and through the surroundings The words on it can be seen clearly in the dim light.
“Welcome centre, ham restaurant, vineyard, woodshed… ”
This hotel was renovated from an old farmhouse and built in the mountains. Although a professional design team was hired to renovate it, in order to let guests feel the original rural mountain style, some of the old patterns were deliberately retained during the design. For example, the houses in front of me are red bricks and black tiles, surrounded by wooden fences, with a mountain gate in the middle.
