Anran walked toward them, and when she was about ten steps away, Huang Dexing noticed her. He looked at her with a hint of displeasure in his eyes, and Anran knew that he was unhappy with her leaving without permission.

Anran walked over to him calmly. When she got closer, she realized that the person standing with his back to her was Tong Wenhai. She furrowed her brows slightly. Recently, she seemed to be particularly interested in the Tong family.

Seeing her approach, Huang Dexing’s displeased expression disappeared. He smiled at Anran and said, ” &Quot; Anran, come here. Chief Tong was just talking about you. He asked why you didn’t come. &Quot;

With that, Tong Wenhai and Xiao Xiao, who had their backs to her, also turned around. Xiao Xiao still had a half-smile on her face, while Tong Wenhai seemed to be happy to see him. He smiled and said, ” “I thought you weren’t here. I didn’t see you.”

Anran smiled and made an excuse. &Quot; I just went to the bathroom. &Quot;

While they were talking, someone happened to come over to look for Tong Wenhai. While Tong Wenhai was talking to that person, Huang Dexing took the wine and handed it to Anran. Then, he used this opportunity to whisper to her, ” &Quot; bureau chief Tong seems to have a good impression of you. You should be careful tonight. &Quot;

Hearing this, Anran frowned. Just as she was about to say something, she saw that Tong Wenhai had already finished talking to that person. He turned around and smiled at them, asking, ” Are you interested in bidding for the new city hall building,’Jin Cheng’? ”

&Quot; of course, Anran and Xiao Xiao have been preparing the design for the past few days. The bidding document is also ready. I hope that you will pay more attention to it, chief Tong. &Quot; Huang Dexing said with a smile.

Tong Wenhai didn’t express his opinion. He just smiled and raised his hand to take a sip of wine.

“Daddy.”

The few of them stood there, and just as Huang Dexing was giving Anran a meaningful look and saying something, a gentle female voice suddenly came from behind them. Anran found the voice inexplicably familiar.

Everyone turned around and saw mo Fei walking towards them. Beside him, he was holding onto a beautiful woman who was smiling and talking. Unlike Xiao Xiao’s gorgeous charm, her beauty was very plain. Her bare makeup accentuated her exquisite facial features, and her simple white dress complemented her beautiful figure. It made her temperament even more ethereal, giving off a feeling that she did not know the world.

......

Anran looked at her in a daze. She naturally recognized her. It was Tong Xiaojie, the one who was once known as the most beautiful campus Belle of T University.

Tong Xiaojie held mo Fei’s hand and walked over. Her eyes swept across the crowd and stopped on Anran. The smile on her face didn’t change, and even her expression didn’t change. Compared to the shock and surprise in Anran’s eyes, she was much more indifferent.

He didn’t linger on Anran’s upper body for too long. He retracted his gaze and looked at Tong Wenhai. &Quot; dad, I was just asking mo Fei if you were here. I just started talking, and then I saw you talking and laughing here. &Quot;

“Xiaoxiao, you’re here.” Tong Wenhai smiled and looked at his daughter, then turned to introduce her. &Quot; this is the sincere director Huang, this is designer Xiao, and this is designer Gu. I heard from mo Fei that he’s been talking about cooperation with Jingcheng. I’m sure you’ll have a lot of opportunities to get to know each other in the future, so it’s good to get to know each other first.”

Tong Xiaojie smiled and nodded at them. Her expression was not warm, but there was an invisible distance between them. Then, he turned to mo Fei and said, ” “You’ve been returning late these few days. I think you’re busy with the cooperation.” As she spoke, she reached out to straighten his slightly crooked tie and said, ” “You’ve just come back and you’re already busy with work. Why are you still the same as when you were in the United States? Aren’t you afraid that your body will collapse from exhaustion?” As she said that, her brows furrowed.

Mo Fei smiled unnaturally and pulled her hand down, but his eyes were fixed on an ran.

Tong Xiaojie followed his gaze and happened to meet Anran’s eyes. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly and she smiled at Anran.”This must be senior an ran. Long time no see, Senior Sister has changed so much that I almost can’t recognize you.”

Senior Sister. Heh, this title was so strange. They were clearly in the same batch. When did she become her senior?

An ran only smiled and didn’t say anything. Actually, she didn’t know what to say. Perhaps they had met in school before, but they weren’t even close. Now that she suddenly said this, she really didn’t know how to respond.

Xiao Xiao watched their interaction, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a meaningful smile. She thought that Tong Xiaojie must have received the photo she sent before. Seeing her like this, she thought that Tong Xiaojie was not a kind person. With her understanding of Anran, she was afraid that she was not Tong Xiaojie’s match. As he thought about this, the smile on his lips deepened.

The atmosphere became a little strange because of mo Fei and Tong Xiaojie’s arrival. Just as Huang Dexing was about to say something to ease the tension, Tong Xiaojie spoke again.

“I want to go to the bathroom,” Tong Xiaojie turned to mo Fei and said.

Mo Fei nodded. &Quot; go on. &Quot;

Tong Xiaojie turned her head with a smile, but she didn’t leave immediately. Instead, she smiled at Anran and said, ” “Senior Sister, come with me. I’ve just returned and haven’t been here before. Can Senior Sister an ran help lead the way?”

Anran was stunned. After the phone call in the afternoon, she knew that it wasn’t as simple as just accompanying her to the bathroom. She was about to refuse when Xiao Xiao, who was next to her, said, ” Anran, you can go with miss Tong. You just went to the bathroom. It’s on the road. &Quot;

Hearing this, Tong Xiaojie turned her head and looked at Xiao Xiao with a profound look, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

“Yes, Anran, go with miss Tong.” Huang Dexing, who was standing at the side and didn’t understand the situation, also said.

Mo Fei was either afraid that Tong Xiaojie would make things difficult for Anran or that Anran would say something to Tong Xiaojie. He suddenly said, ” I’ll Take You There. &Quot;

Tong Xiaojie chuckled softly and turned to look at her husband. She smiled and said, ” &Quot; we’re going to the women’s washroom. Why would a man like you go? besides, I haven’t seen senior for so many years. Naturally, I want to have a private conversation with her. &Quot;

Since she said this, it was impossible for Anran to refuse again. She could only nod and say, ” “Let’s go, the washroom is this way.” Then, he turned around and walked towards the exit of the venue.
