Just by looking at their clothes, Meng Ran could guess that the group of young ladies surrounding Mo Zhu and refusing to leave were from big families. She knew that her family background was ordinary, so she naturally did not dare to chase them away.
Just as Meng Ran was overwhelmed and could not think of any other good ideas, a cold female voice came from behind. “Ladies, everyone has traveled a long way to Country N to participate in the competition. After solving questions for the entire morning, everyone must be tired. Why don’t we go back to our seats first and catch up after we’ve eaten and drunk our fill?”
Just as she finished speaking, Mo Zhu instantly recognized the girl through her voice.
She looked up and stared expressionlessly at Xing Meng, who had suddenly appeared in front of everyone. She raised her eyebrows with interest and stood calmly with her hands in her pocket.
Everyone might not know Mo Zhu’s identity and background, but it was impossible for them not to recognize this imposing eldest daughter of the Xing family. Seeing Xing Meng stand up personally and say this, even if those young ladies did not want to leave, they had to give the Xing family some face.
A few seconds later, everyone looked at each other and smiled. After exchanging a few more pleasantries, they left disappointedly.
After the crowd dispersed, only the three of them were left in this small area. Meng Ran took two steps closer to Mo Zhu happily and invited her with a smile, “Sister Mo, the teachers have allocated seats for us. Knowing that you were coming, I had reserved seats for the two of us long ago. Come with me!”
After saying this, she waved her hand and wanted to bring Mo Zhu to sit down and eat. Unexpectedly, just as she said this, Mo Zhu shook her head and rejected her. “You go over first. I’ll talk to Xing Meng here.”
When Meng Ran heard this, she frowned slightly and looked up at Xing Meng. Although she was very curious when Mo Zhu had become so close to this girl, she still nodded and returned to her seat obediently. As she walked, she instructed Mo Zhu, “Sister Mo, if you have anything to say, hurry up and say it. Our dishes have been served for a while. If it’s placed on the table for too long, it won’t taste good anymore!”
Through her interaction with Xing Meng over the past few days, Meng Ran’s impression of the eldest daughter of the Xing family had changed. Apart from the fact that she had injured her previously, Xing Meng’s temper had improved a lot. She had even been treating others kindly recently.
After Meng Ran left, Mo Zhu casually picked up a glass of wine that the waiter had poured for her. She gently shook the glass and placed it by her mouth. She took a sip and asked, “You specially came to look for me. What’s the matter?”
Upon hearing this, Xing Meng raised her eyebrows and laughed. “Haha, as expected of you. Mo Zhu, you can even guess that I came to help you because I have something to ask from you?”
After a pause, she imitated Mo Zhu and took a glass of wine. She took a small sip and added, “Mo Zhu, no matter what, we were roommates who stayed in the same dormitory. We even participated in training together and got a good ranking in the competition in the same group. Why are you still so cold to me? Can you be a little more enthusiastic?”
When Mo Zhu heard this, she sneered and mocked, “Cold? I’m already very friendly to you. Those who provoke me won’t be talking to me while they are standing up.”
Xing Meng smiled, as if she had long expected Mo Zhu to say such words so arrogantly. Her fingers gently rubbed the wall of the wine glass and she nodded before continuing, “Since you’ve made it clear, I’ll be frank. I came to you because I have something I want to know about from you.”
“I heard that you fought in the Kang family two days ago and the other party is very strong?”
Just as she finished speaking, Mo Zhu looked up at Xing Meng. After sizing the girl up with a sharp gaze, she retracted her gaze and replied indifferently, “That’s right. The Kang family does have experts.”
After saying this, she seemed to have thought of something and asked Xing Meng in a low voice, “Speaking of this, I want to ask you, with the Xing family’s strength and foundation in Beijing, how much do you know about internal energy?”
