To the three men's surprise, Wang Xinrui also attended the banquet. Huo Qinghan had specially invited her to thank her for taking care of him during this time.

So, when Lan Nian drove to the entrance of the Huo family villa, she saw Wang Xinrui getting out of a taxi wearing a very exquisite dress.

Chu Nian's dress was much simpler compared to hers; it was just a well-fitting cheongsam. However, when she got out of the car and met Wang Xinrui's somewhat smug gaze, she couldn't help but smile.

"Lan Nian, your best friend is here at the banquet too." Chu Nian turned her head slightly and called out to the person in the driver's seat of the car.

Wang Xinrui unconsciously followed her gaze to the driver's seat, where she saw a woman in a black suit staring coldly at her, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

Wang Xinrui's heart skipped a beat. Although it was the same appearance, she recognized at a glance that this was the Lan Nian from the God Realm, the one she had been searching for when Lan Nian was pressing her so hard.

She could easily tell the two identical people apart.

A security guard had already opened the gate and was guiding Lan Nian to drive to the garage.

"Lan Nian, come to the front after you've parked the car. I don't want you to be absent from an occasion like this," Chu Nian said to the car that drove into the villa.

Everyone present knew that although the car was going further and further away, Lan Nian inside the car could definitely hear Chu Nian's words clearly.

Wang Xinrui walked over, her face pale, and whispered, "Niannian, what happened?"

"What do you mean, what happened?" Chu Nian asked with a faint smile. "You should know best what happened!"

After all, the only people present who truly experienced that time-space overlap were Wang Xinrui and Lan Nian, who had already driven into the villa.

Wang Xinrui: "How...how did she get here? Didn't they say she was already...already..."

She had been trying to find this Lan Nian and ask her to take her away.

But now, when she encountered Lan Nian from the God Realm again, she suddenly felt a sense of impending danger. The way Lan Nian had looked at her just now was filled with murderous intent, as if she wanted to kill her at any moment.

She didn't know what she had done to offend Lan Nian.

Chu Nian said, "Haven't you always wanted to find her? Well, here she is, I've found her for you." She finished speaking with a warm and welcoming smile.

Wang Xinrui's lips twitched: "Would you be the kind of person who does things the way I want?!"

"Alright, let's go in!" Chu Nian said, beckoning to Lin Jingting, "Little Lin!"

Lin Jingting quickly came forward with a fawning expression and took her hand.

Lou Qianzong makes me want to punch someone.

Bai Ze originally wanted to imitate Chu Nian and call out "Little Lin", but as soon as he reached out, he met Lou Qianzong's murderous eyes, and swallowed all his words. He put his hands in his pockets, struck a cool pose, and sauntered into the villa.

Lou Qianzong followed behind him with a dark expression.

Wang Xinrui stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Mr. Lou, do you have a dance partner? If not..."

"Get lost!" Lou Qianzong interrupted her impatiently, already in a bad mood.

Wang Xinrui, who was following Lou Qianzong's footsteps, suddenly stopped and froze on the spot. After a while, she composed herself and walked towards the villa's hall. Unexpectedly, she saw Lan Nian, dressed in a black suit and looking like a staff member, walking from the direction of the garage.

Wang Xinrui was terrified. She had witnessed firsthand how many souls this woman had devoured.

Although she felt quite pleased when she saw Lan Nian devour Lan Nian and her friends and family—for so many years, Lan Nian had always been ahead of her in both love and career. On the surface, she and Lan Nian had been best friends for many years, but in her heart, she was already insanely jealous of Lan Nian.

Thinking of Lan Nian's ferocity in the God Realm, and the way she had glared at her just now, Wang Xinrui's legs were trembling.

As she reached the entrance to the hall, Lan Nian turned her head and gave her a cold smile, her gaze extremely icy, before opening the hall door and walking inside.

To be honest, because her clothes didn't look like a formal gown for a banquet, neither the waiter who opened the door nor Huo's parents, who were greeting guests near the entrance, treated her as a guest.

It's her face...

When Huo's parents saw Lan Nian's appearance, they were shocked. How come the person who went in just now also looks like this?

The couple looked into the living room at Chu Nian, who had been respectfully invited by Huo Qingyan to sit on the sofa, and then turned to look at the woman in the black suit: they did indeed look the same.

Lan Nian looked down on these mortals. She didn't care if no one paid attention to her. But she would be annoyed if these mortals came to greet her. So she walked straight over to Chu Nian.

Although she looked down on mortals, it didn't mean she was tactless or ignorant of etiquette. When she got near the sofa, she went around to the back of it, put her hands behind her back, and stood straight behind Chu Nian. She coldly looked at everyone, and her cold and fierce aura of "who dares to be presumptuous" immediately made all the mortals present feel a chill from the bottom of their bones.

When Wang Xinrui entered the hall, she saw Chu Nian and three others sitting on the sofa. Everyone else was standing there, some at a distance from the four, all looking at Lan Nian standing behind Chu Nian with fear.

Wang Xinrui paused again, swallowed hard, and then walked towards the center of the hall.

This was a family dinner, and the Huo family had only invited a few people. Wang Xinrui was the last to enter the hall, so after she came in, Huo's parents, who had been greeting guests at the door, also followed her into the hall.

Wang Xinrui's heart was far from calm. Mr. and Mrs. Huo walked behind her, both wondering how this young girl could be so ill-mannered. In this situation, she should at least walk side by side with them, the hosts. According to the etiquette of a junior, she should even lag behind. But what was this girl doing? She was swaying as she walked, and the way she was swaying her waist made Mrs. Huo want to reach out and cover Mr. Huo's eyes.

Fortunately, when she turned to look at her husband, she saw that Mr. Huo was looking at the housekeeper on the other side, as if he wanted to give the housekeeper some instructions. Mrs. Huo breathed a sigh of relief.

Mr. Huo, sensing that his wife hadn't gotten angry, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, inwardly cursing: "What's wrong with this girl, senior? Either leave quickly, or stop wriggling around there. What good is that seductive waist to an old married couple like us? Sigh!"

Mr. Huo glanced at the slender waist in front of him a few times. Although he thought it was quite beautiful and wanted to look at it a few more times, he dared not look because Mrs. Huo was watching him closely.

Huo Qinghan spent a long time getting ready in her room upstairs before coming down. But halfway down, she saw her good friend Wang Xinrui... Uh, why were her parents following behind her with strange expressions? What happened?
