I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 481 Me? Zhou Heng invited me here.

Wow!

Wu Menghuai stepped off the bus and, upon seeing the venue before him, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement...

Unlike the other Tianheng employees, who were selected to attend the annual meeting, she, as a small technical team leader, was personally invited by Yin Mengran.

She then followed the crowd into the enormous venue...

"Wow--"

Upon entering, she exclaimed in amazement once again. The place was decorated in such a dreamlike way that she couldn't help but wonder if this was a place where one could enter without buying a ticket.

She was looking around as she walked, so she didn't notice that there was someone in front of her...

She accidentally bumped into someone in front of her, and before she could even see who it was, she quickly apologized.

"Oops, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I wasn't paying attention..."

"Ouch... watch your step..." The person in front stumbled after being bumped, turned around to look at the person who bumped into her, and frowned slightly...

But when the two women looked at each other, they froze instantly, Wu Menghuai's eyes widening in shock...

"Mother?!"

"Daughter...it was you who hit me..."

Wu Menghuai never expected that the person he hit was actually his own mother. What a coincidence!

Wait... why is my mother here?

"Mom, what are you doing here?"

"Me? Zhou Heng invited me here," Teacher Wang explained. Actually, she hadn't expected to run into her daughter here...

Although she knew it was an annual meeting jointly organized by Junheng and Tianheng, she didn't expect her daughter to come.

"Mr. Zhou...Mr. Zhou invited you here? Why?"

Wu Menghuai was very confused. Although her mother was Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran's high school homeroom teacher, there was no need to invite her to such an annual meeting, right?

"How would I know? I just came when they asked me to. Wow... In the blink of an eye, these students of mine have become so successful and capable. I'm so proud."

Teacher Wang looked very proud. Being able to teach such a talented student in her teaching career was a great honor for her as an ordinary teacher.

"Hey, come with me, you're blocking other people's way."

Wu Menghuai took Teacher Wang's hand and led her away from there. She had thought she would have a good time today, but she never expected to run into her mother here...

Besides employees of Junheng or Tianheng, Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran also invited many friends. Zhou Heng thought for a moment and realized he didn't have many friends...

During university, I was always studying, and during breaks I only hung out with Yin Mengran. In high school, I didn't seem to have many friends... I probably spent most of my time with Tang Zhi, and then in my senior year, I started dating Yin Mengran...

So Zhou Heng invited two people he considered friends: Kong Yue and Liang Jiaxiang.

Liang Jiaxiang was very surprised when he received the invitation. He never expected Zhou Heng to invite him, and he was even more surprised that Zhou Heng considered him a friend...

Without saying a word, he agreed and arrived here half an hour early as agreed today.

Standing at the entrance, watching the crowd pour in, Liang Jiaxiang felt a pang of anxiety. He knew he belonged to a different world, and he felt out of place...

Although Zhou Heng told him that once he arrived, he should just tell the security guard his name and find a place to sit anywhere,

But he was still a little worried. What if he was turned away? What if there was nowhere to sit after he got in?

Moreover, he couldn't call Zhou Heng to ask. He knew Zhou Heng was very busy, and it was already difficult enough for him to be invited. He couldn't trouble him.

"Ugh..."

Liang Jiaxiang sighed, and just as he was about to take his first step, he suddenly noticed someone to his side who seemed to be in the same situation as him...

It was a girl, standing there in the same state I had just been in, somewhat afraid to take that step, holding her phone but looking hesitant to make a call...

"what?"

Liang Jiaxiang took another closer look and realized that the girl looked vaguely familiar...

"Hmm?" Just then, the girl turned to look at Liang Jiaxiang. The two exchanged a glance and were slightly taken aback...

"Liang Jiaxiang?"

The girl spoke first, tilting her head slightly, and tentatively asked...

At that moment, Liang Jiaxiang's memories suddenly flooded back; the person in front of him was his high school classmate...

"You are... Tian Run?!"

Liang Jiaxiang remembered the other person's name; no wonder he looked so familiar.

Although they didn't interact much in high school, as high school classmates, they felt a bit closer in this place full of strangers.

"How did you come?"

"How did you come?"

The two asked in unison, pointing at each other with surprised expressions.

"I was invited by Zhou Heng..."

"Uh... I was invited by Yin Mengran."

They both seemed somewhat embarrassed, because they could tell that the other was just as uneasy. Not finding their companion and being alone in such a place was truly frightening.

After all, this isn't like someone going to a concert alone; these people are social elites, and these two ordinary people are consciously lowering their own status...

"Um... together?"

Liang Jiaxiang took the initiative to invite him to join them. He had finally run into an acquaintance who was in a similar situation, so it would definitely be better to travel together.

"Okay, sure..."

Tian Run nodded and agreed to Liang Jiaxiang's request.

"Let's go then." So the two of them went into the venue together.

Once inside, there were even more people, most of whom weren't even seated but were chatting below...

This left them all at a loss. Tian Run instinctively hid behind Liang Jiaxiang and reached out to grab his sleeve...

"Uh..."

Liang Jiaxiang glanced back at Tian Run, who was also quite embarrassed, her face flushing slightly. She loosened her grip on Liang Jiaxiang's sleeve...

"I...I called Tongtong, and she said she'll be there soon too!"

Tian Run remembered that Tong Yining would also be coming. As her best friend in high school, Tong Yining was the person she most wanted to contact now.

So Tian Run took out his phone and dialed Tong Yining's number...

"Hey? Tongtong, when are you...when are you coming? I'm already here..."

"Ah, I'll be right there. Wait for me at the door."
