Yan Dong’s inquiry caught me by surprise.

After a short silence, I heard him say again: "Sorry, I was abrupt."

I looked at the embarrassed face of my old classmate and knew that he, who had always been cautious, could suddenly make such a request. He must have been forced to the point where he couldn't handle it. Then I thought about his helpless tone when he called me just now, and asked: "Then What exactly do I do?”

Yan Dong was stunned for two seconds and said in surprise: "Nan Xu, did you promise me?"

His clear voice, coupled with his piercing auspicious eyes, made him, who had always been serious and upright, reveal a hint of childishness.

"It's a piece of cake." Compared with what Yan Dong helped me with before, simply playing a role is nothing. "Just send me the time, place and lines you need to pay attention to."

As soon as I finished speaking, Yan Dong burst into laughter.

I looked at him curiously and heard him say: "It's not that troublesome, you just need to...stand by my side."

The place to meet Yan Dong is at the tea restaurant of the Vienna Hotel, at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

This is the favorite place for the dignitaries from Beijing and Hong Kong to gather for afternoon tea. To show respect, I simply held it down.

But what I didn't expect was that when I entered the tea restaurant, I was stopped by the waiter.

"Miss, please show your membership card."

Of course I know that this is a membership system, but I was invited here by the severe winter, so naturally I can't have any membership card.

I told the truth, but after the waiter heard my answer, he said in a very arrogant tone: "Then I can only trouble you to contact the guest who made the appointment and ask him to come out to pick you up."

I reluctantly took out my cell phone, and just as I was about to make a call, I heard a familiar voice of greeting.

"Xuxu, is it really you?"

I looked back and saw Shen Hualan, who was wearing a dignified Chanel suit, looking at me with surprise and inquiring eyes.

There was also a hotel waiter beside her, who was politely carrying a rare crocodile skin Hermès for her.

She has the air of a wealthy lady.

Things just happen by coincidence sometimes.

Seeing that I was stopped at the door, the waiter behind Shen Hualan immediately asked: "What's going on with this lady?"

The waiter who stopped me immediately replied respectfully: "She said she had an appointment, but she couldn't show her hotel membership card."

When the waiter said this, he glanced at Shen Hualan timidly, and his voice dropped a few decibels: "I didn't know she was dating Mrs. Zhou."

There was clearly fear and panic towards the superior in that tone.

Upon seeing this, Shen Hualan walked up to me and said to the waiter on the side: "I have two words to say to her alone."

The two waiters immediately understood and stepped aside knowingly.

When Shen Hualan and I were the only two people left, she looked at me and said, "Hanzhi hosted a banquet for Lin Xixi and Ms. Zhao here today. Are you here to join in the fun, Xu Xu?"

It dawned on me as she spoke.

Thinking back to the meaningful look in her eyes just now, I immediately felt dumbfounded.

She may have mistakenly thought I was here to cause trouble.

Thinking of this, my heart felt like a ball of cotton was stuck, very stuffy.

So he said truthfully: "Auntie, you may have misunderstood, I also have an appointment with someone today."

"it's here?"

After hearing the questioning, a trace of doubt flashed across Shen Hualan's well-maintained face.

That look seemed to be asking me, are you? Is it just you, Meng Nanxu? Why does it have to be today?

I curled up my lips and said, "Yes, they should be arriving soon."

"Really?" Shen Hualan seemed to realize her abruptness, glanced at me, and twitched the corner of her mouth in embarrassment.

Just when I was about to end this topic, Lin Xixi's soft voice suddenly penetrated into my ears: "Huh? Sister Nanxu? It's really you."

I looked sideways and saw Lin Xixi and Zhao Hongmei walking towards me at a glance.

Coincidentally, the mother and daughter must also be wearing Chanel suits. Lin Xixi is petite. Although she is not very suitable for wearing such high-end clothing, it is still quite satisfactory. However, Zhao Hongmei is different.

The ends of her hair dyed with inferior blonde hair dye are in sharp contrast to Chanel's noble and elegant look.

I saw Shen Hualan's eyebrows twitching slightly.

As the two got closer, Lin Xixi politely introduced Zhao Hongmei to Shen Hualan. Zhao Hongmei grinned, and the corners of her mouth almost curved to her earlobes.

It is inappropriate for me, an outsider, to stand here any longer.

So I said goodbye to Shen Hualan, but I heard Zhao Hongmei ask: "Didn't Manager Meng say that she had an appointment with someone yesterday? Why do you have time to come over today? Do you want to give everyone a surprise?"

My temples were twitching at the series of questions. I pinched my eyebrows and explained again: "What a coincidence, the person I made an appointment with also made a reservation at this tea restaurant."

"Are you here too?" Lin Xixi immediately caught the key word, and after exchanging glances with Shen Hualan, she smiled and said, "That's quite a coincidence."

The tone was neither salty nor bland. If it weren't for Shen Hualan, Lin Xixi would not even bother to act out the scene of pointing fingers at Sang and scolding Huai.

But I can't blame her entirely. Who would have thought that the place where they met for afternoon tea was also here.

I didn't want to argue, so I could only prevaricate: "Why don't you go first? I have to wait for someone else."

"Who is Sister Nanxu waiting for?" Lin Xixi had no intention of leaving immediately, and said, "Is it Mr. Yuan?"

Zhao Hongmei followed up: "Who is Mr. Yuan? Is he Manager Meng's boyfriend?"

Shen Hualando was very smart and immediately smelled something unusual. He looked at me in surprise and asked, "Xu Xu, have you found a new boyfriend?"

Question after question made me dizzy, and an indescribable feeling of discomfort swept over my heart. I took a gentle breath and said calmly: "I made an appointment with my senior."

As if a basin of cold water was suddenly poured into boiling water, the three people present pursed their lips at the same time and looked at me curiously.

After a moment, Lin Xixi stepped forward suddenly, held my hand suddenly, and said happily: "No wonder Nan Xu is hiding so tightly. It turns out that the person you want to meet today is Professor Yan."

My fingers were suddenly clenched. Looking at Lin Xixi's enthusiastic expression, I couldn't help but feel doubtful.

When my peripheral vision glanced not far away, I suddenly realized.

Zhou Hanzhi, wearing a suit and leather shoes, was walking quickly towards us.

The distance between us is not that far. If he pays a little attention, he should be able to hear the conversation clearly.

But, it's not important anymore.

Just as I was thinking about how to get out, Yan Dong's greeting sounded at the right time: "Sorry Nan Xu, I just saw the message."

After he finished speaking, he ran towards me quickly, completely unaware that I was in the middle of a turbulent wave.
