Soon, the door of the Tan family opened, and the Tan family's housekeeper came out and invited them in.

The Tan family's housekeeper was a middle-aged man in his fifties with a handsome face.

"Everyone, please come in."

Ruan Qiao and others followed him in, walking along the marble path and heading straight to the main entrance.

In the living room, the head of the Tan family, Tan Liyang, was there. Next to Tan Liyang, there was a young girl and a young man sitting. The two were in an intimate posture and it was obvious that they were a couple.

When Tan Liyang saw Ruan Qiao, who was in the lead, he came forward to greet them enthusiastically, which made Ruan Qiao slightly startled.

"Hello, Mr. Tan. I'm so sorry to bother you. My name is Ruan Qiao, and my father is Ruan Pengkai from the Ruan Group."

Ruan Qiao was the first to greet.

"Miss Ruan, you're too polite. Of course I know Mr. Ruan's name. We even clinked glasses together at the last cocktail party."

Tan Liyang said with a smile, not looking down on Ruan Qiao for her young age. Instead, he was a little cautious.

Ruan Qiao's eyes flashed, and she sat down with Tan Liyang.

The nanny immediately brought tea.

At this moment, the young girl sitting next to her looked at Ruan Qiao, while the young man next to her looked unhappy.

"Ruan Qiao? Si Yan? Is that you?"

The girl cried out in surprise.

The young man next to her immediately looked at Ruan Qiao and the others warily and asked, "Mu Mu, do you know them?"

Tan Ximu's face showed both surprise and some joy. She said, "They are my college classmates."

"So they are your classmates, Mu Mu. You have never mentioned them to me before."

The young man said with a smile.

Tan Ximu stammered and said nothing, but just looked at Ruan Qiao again.

Ruan Qiao also looked at Tan Ximu at this time, with the corners of her lips slightly curved, revealing a curve.

Tan Ximu is one year older than her and is twenty-three years old this year, while her boyfriend looks to be about twelve or seventeen years old.

In Ruan Qiao's impression, Tan Ximu was a spoiled, arrogant and ostentatious little princess, but the Tan Ximu in front of her was without makeup, dressed casually at home, without a trace of her former pride.

Instead, there is a hint of timidity and lack of confidence.

Ruan Qiao couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, feeling a little confused.

She glanced at Si Yan, and there was also a flash of surprise in Si Yan's eyes.

"It turns out that Miss Ruan and Mu Mu are classmates!" Tan Liyang said in surprise, with a genuine smile on his face.

Ruan Qiao smiled and said, "Yes, we are classmates, and our relationship is not ordinary."

What she meant by "unusual" was that Tan Ximu was against her. Not only did he compete with her in academic performance, but when he couldn't beat her, he also hired people to block her, demonstrate to her, compete with her in beauty, steal her limelight, and so on.

But to Tan Liyang, it sounded like they were good friends.

The smile on Tan Liyang's face grew even wider. "I see. That's great. Mu Mu hasn't had many friends around him these past few years. Now that you're here, you two can chat more."

Ruan Qiao smiled and said, "That's natural."

Tan Ximu looked at Ruan Qiao, a hint of trance flashed in her eyes, as if she was recalling something.

The young man next to her gently put his arm around her shoulders and softly reminded her, "Mu Mu, you haven't introduced your classmates to me yet. If you continue to be in a daze, they'll misunderstand that you don't welcome them!"

Upon hearing this, Tan Ximu was about to speak, and there was even a hint of panic in his expression.

Ruan Qiao was surprised and asked, "How could that be? We are all classmates and we used to have a special relationship. How could we have misunderstandings over such trivial matters?"

This gentleman really cares about Mu Mu, and is attentive and thoughtful."

Ruan Qiao sighed.

The young man's face stiffened slightly.

Then he smiled and said, "That's good, that's good. I was also worried that Mu Mu would be too happy to see his old classmates and would not know what to say. I hope you don't misunderstand me!"

Ruan Qiao looked at this person and instinctively felt a little displeased.

Her face remained expressionless as she looked at Tan Ximu with a smile.

When he met her eyes, Tan Ximu avoided her and closed his sight.

After a while, Tan Ximu said again: "Yuezhe, this is Ruan Qiao, this is Si Yan, they are my college classmates."

After a pause, she said to Ruan Qiao and Si Yan, "Ruan Qiao, Si Yan, this is my boyfriend, Gong Yuezhe."

Last name Gong?

Ruan Qiao thought about it carefully and thought of a family with the surname Gong. However, the Gong family could not be considered a wealthy family.

The reason why she had heard of it was because the Gong family was also in the business of various tools. She had originally wanted a copper furnace for refining pills and had inquired about the circle in this area, but the Gong family had a bad reputation, so she did not consider it.

Gong Yuezhe smiled humbly and politely greeted, "Ms. Ruan, Mr. Si, if you are free in the future, please come and visit Mu Mu often. Mu Mu doesn't like socializing, so I'm happy to have another friend to accompany her."

Ruan Qiao smiled and said, "Mr. Gong is truly a thoughtful and considerate boyfriend."

"Ms. Ruan, you are too kind." Gong Yuezhe said.

Tan Ximu lowered her head shyly and sweetly.

"By the way, Miss Ruan, I heard from the housekeeper that the purpose of your visit this time is for the factory on West Street?"

Tan Liyang said at this time.

Ruan Qiao noticed that when Tan Liyang mentioned the factory on West Street, Tan Ximu's expression became obviously more uneasy, and there was a hint of uneasiness and nervousness.

Gong Yuezhe also looked at Ruan Qiao.

Ruan Qiao suppressed her doubts and said, "Yes, I've been wanting to start a small business recently. I heard that the factory area on West Street is all abandoned, and we happened to be interested in the Tan family's factory.

I thought the factory had been abandoned and useless, so I wanted to ask Mr. Tan to buy it.”

"So Miss Ruan wants to start a business. You're truly young and promising. Mr. Ruan must be very proud to have a daughter like you!"

Tan Liyang praised, and then said: "However, it is no problem for Miss Ruan to buy that factory, but Miss Ruan, you have to think carefully. The abandoned factory area on West Street has bad feng shui, and there are many accidents. It is very strange.

Many businessmen bought the land and built factories there before, but they all failed in the end. Some even lost everything and ended up in a miserable situation.

Ms. Ruan, you have to be careful. If you want to start a business, you can choose a better location. Tan has some connections in this area.

Tan Liyang's words were quite sincere.

Unexpectedly, Gong Yuezhe also said at this time: "Yes, Miss Ruan, I heard that a businessman named Xu didn't believe in evil and bought half of the West Street factory area. In the end, not only did he lose everything, but he also got involved in a murder lawsuit. It was very tragic."

Ruan Qiao was surprised and asked, "Is it so weird?"

Gong Yuezhe immediately agreed, "Yes, Miss Ruan, you are Mu Mu's classmate, so Uncle Tan and I sincerely advise you not to make any mistakes."

Ruan Qiao became interested. "Then I'm even more curious. Mr. Tan, I must buy this factory."

Upon hearing this, Gong Yuezhe's face froze.
