Lin Shuang and Sheng Ting had bumped into each other in the basement carpark.
Lin Shuang was aware that Sheng Ting knew Gu Mang and she had guessed that he was there to attend Gu Mang’s birthday party as well. So, she took the initiative to greet him first and they came up together.
Sheng Ting handed his gift to Gu Mang. “Just finished filming, luckily I’m not late. Happy birthday.”
Gu Mang thanked him and put the gift on the table behind her. Then, she pointed at the seats beside Qin Yaozhi. Sheng Ting nodded.
Qin Yaozhi looked at Sheng Ting who was walking in her direction. She was so excited that she did not know where to put her hands. She felt a sudden rush of blood to the head.
Gosh! She was going to be eating at the same table as her idol!
Qin Rui saw that his biological sister’s face was rather red and he was speechless. Sheng Ting sat beside Qin Yaozhi and his gaze met with Qin Rui’s. He nodded lightly. Qin Rui returned the gesture.
Lin Shuang and Gu Mang were very close so eye contact was enough for a greeting. Lin Shuang preferred to hang out with Gu Si right now. He still donned a black baseball cap on his head and the bill was turned to the back so his buzz cut could be seen. Perhaps he found his hairstyle ugly.
She pat Gu Si’s head. “Why are you so tan?”
In the past, he had been pale, soft, cool, and cute.
Gu Si raised his eyebrows slightly in a rather arrogant manner. “Sister Lin, you don’t know? This is a man’s skin tone.”
Lin Shuang laughed and tutted. “Little rascal, what man?”
As she spoke, she placed the two bottles of red wine in her hand on the table and sat beside He Yidu.
Seeing the bottles of red wine on the table, He Yidu was speechless.
He knew that Lin Shuang was rather rich. The first time they met, she fought with Brother Cheng over getting the Sleeping Jade but he never thought that Lin Shuang would be so generous. The bottles of red wine she had brought cost millions per bottle. They were tied together with a string and looked like they would shatter due to a passing breeze.
Lin Shuang brought them over by holding them by the string. Anyone without quick eye and motion reflexes would never dare to do that. If they were to accidentally drop it…
Qin Fang covered his mouth and lowered his voice to speak to He Yidu. “Did you realize that the people who form connections with Gu Mang have extraordinary status?”
The ‘King’ of Singing, Ji Heng, Elder Tan and this rich lady.
He Yidu nodded and looked sideways. His eyes seemed judgmental as he looked at the lady beside him. Lin Shuang’s face looked really sassy and arrogant. The most signature feature was her blue eyeliner.
As he was watching, the lady, who had been sitting sideways the whole time and talking to Gu Si, suddenly turned around. He Yidu’s eyes met the lady’s and he was caught off guard.
Lin Shuang smirked and smiled. Then, she flipped her hair. “What’s wrong, Master He? Are you enchanted by me?”
He Yidu was left speechless. Qin Fang snorted and broke into laughter. No one had spoken to their Old He like this before. He Yidu gave him a cold and calm look, and he put on a straight face instantly. He stood up and raised his glass to toast Elder Tan as a way to deal with the awkwardness.
Gu Si laughed as well. He was not as cowardly as He Yidu. Gu Mang toasted Elder Tan as well and then she sat down to eat.
Principal Ren was also a famous person at Capital University. At the table, he had to control himself and not let his eyes dart around freely.
It was really crowded in the private room.
…
Lei Xiao had a dinner appointment at World Restaurant as well. Gu Yin had gotten into the medical organization, so many came up to fawn over her.
In the midst of it, he had to go to the washroom. When he passed the private room and saw the two managers of World Restaurant standing by the entrance, he was stunned.
What kind of person was worth two managers serving them? He had never seen such a situation before.
Just then, one of the supervisors of World Restaurant came with special tea to be served in the private room. When Lei Xiao saw him, he was stunned.
He watched as one of the managers pushed the door open. Lei Xiao peered into the room curiously.
