Hong Kong is in full swing

Chapter 174 Reaffirmation

Seeing these three girls behave so appropriately and sensibly, Zhang Jiao naturally felt very relieved.

However, she soon seemed to realize that there was another person standing nearby who hadn't been taken care of—Yu Wan. So she turned around and smiled politely at her, saying, "Oh, I didn't expect even Miss Yu would come. What an honor."

Compared with his previous enthusiastic attitude towards the other two people and his current attention to Yu Wan, which was obviously just superficial and perfunctory, the difference between the two is huge.

However, Yu Wan seemed to have become accustomed to this huge but very realistic treatment and did not show much fluctuation or dissatisfaction.

But she still maintained the necessary courtesy and replied softly, "Hello, Madam Wei, good evening."

Although the tone was calm and gentle, a hint of alienation could be detected from it.

Faced with such a woman who reacted coldly but maintained outward politeness, Zhang Jiao simply responded and looked away, and began to ask Chu Rong and Zhong Xinyuan beside her about their respective living conditions in recent times.

Noticing the situation was becoming slightly awkward, the gentle and kind Chu Rong stepped forward to try to ease the tension. He then mentioned a scene he had just witnessed. "Come to think of it, I did notice something. Just when we were entering, I seemed to see Miss Yu. You and Mr. Huo Chuyan were walking together, right? Did you meet by chance on the street?"

These words made Zhang Jiao look at Yu Wan again, with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.

Although Yu Wan said so, Zhong Xinyuan sneered disapprovingly, "Speaking of which, the relationship between the Chu and Huo families has become increasingly close in the past two years. If one day, Sister Chu Rong, you really marry into the Huo family, don't forget us sisters."

Zhang Jiao laughed after hearing this and said, "Oh, by then you'll be a proper Mrs. Huo, that would be truly amazing."

Facing their words, Chu Rong seemed a little embarrassed, with a faint blush on her cheeks. "These are the ideas of the elders. We younger generations can only obey their decisions."

Seeing Chu Rong so shy, Zhong Xinyuan continued to tease her, "So, Sister Chu Rong, what are you thinking in your heart now? Haven't you ever thought about marrying Mr. Huo?"

Faced with such inquiries, Chu Rong's eyes flashed with shyness, but she finally said the same words firmly: "Everything will be decided by the family."

Seeing Chu Rong's shy look, Zhang Jiao and Zhong Xinyuan started to tease her even more enthusiastically, and the room was filled with laughter for a while.

At this moment, Meng Lingjun's voice suddenly interrupted: "What interesting things are you guys discussing here?"

Hearing Meng Lingjun's question, Zhong Xinyuan briefly repeated their previous conversation to her.

"Now it seems that the marriage between the two families seems to be becoming more and more reliable. Maybe we can drink in Sister Chu Rong's wedding wine before the end of this year."

After hearing this, Chu Rong pretended to be angry and glared at her. Seeing this, the others couldn't help laughing.

Meng Lingjun also smiled and continued, "Indeed, looking across the entire city of Hong Kong, there's really no one else who can match Mr. Huo except our sister Chu Rong. Since both parties are willing to promote this happy relationship, I would like to wish the two newlyweds a happy marriage in advance!"

After that, she naturally took Yu Wan's arm and said goodbye to everyone for the time being. "Then you guys can chat slowly. Yu Wan and I will go shopping first."

After the two left, Meng Lingjun softly comforted him, "You know, Wei Rongsong's mother has become a little cold towards you because of a little influence from Zhong Xinyuan. But she's a good person by nature, so don't take it too seriously."

Yu Wan didn't care too much about this, because her mind was full of thoughts about the marriage between the Chu and Huo families that was very likely to happen soon.

If it is true as the outside world speculates that Chu Rong will officially get engaged to Huo Chuyan by the end of the year, then it means that from then on, she will completely withdraw from every corner of his life.

When she thought of this, Meng Lingjun suddenly noticed and grabbed Yu Wan's wrist, "Why do you look so pale!"

"without……"

A noise coming from outside interrupted their conversation.

The two looked up and saw a figure walking towards them.

When the man came closer, they looked up and saw a handsome and charming man's face.

"Banquet Baili."

Meng Lingjun whispered the name softly.

"He's here too."

she added.

The eye-catching man had already stepped into the lobby. His eyes inadvertently swept over Yu Wan, who was standing aside quietly waiting for something to happen.

At this moment, the man smiled, as natural and friendly as if he had met an old friend whom he had not seen for a long time.

But in sharp contrast, when that gaze fell on her, Yu Wan felt as if a cold wind was blowing across her back, causing her to shiver involuntarily.

This sudden and inexplicable intuition confused her greatly, as if there was a certain type of person who was born to be incompatible with her aura. Even just an eye contact could predict that a series of disturbing things might happen in the future.

Out of instinct, Yu Wan secretly swore in her heart: Never give the other party a chance to get close. Keeping distance is the wisest choice.

But the good times didn't last long. This sudden eye contact lasted less than a second and was quickly withdrawn as if it had never existed.

Although it happened so quickly that it was difficult for people nearby to notice whether anything had really happened, it did not escape Meng Lingjun's keen observation.

The latter noticed the subtle interaction between the two and asked curiously, "Do you know him?"

"do not know."

Yu Wan shook her head firmly in denial and reiterated it in a resolute tone, trying to show that she had indeed never seen this person before.

Meng Lingjun seemed prepared for this answer. After a moment's contemplation, she spoke, "In that case, Wei Rongsong's father will definitely introduce you to many new faces at the banquet tonight. I must remind you—try to avoid any close contact with that person. Of course, I can't go into the specific reasons right now, but it's a good idea to remember my words."

In fact, there was no need to emphasize these words of concern to Yu Wan, because she had already understood what he meant.
