So as soon as Wen Yan arrived at her destination, someone came to park her car, and service staff stood at the door to greet her warmly.
"Hello, are you Ms. Yan?"
Ms. Yan?
Wen Yan was somewhat unsure whether this appellation referred to her or not.
However, she guessed that this must have been Gu Xiran's arrangement.
She looked at the staff and explained, "I'm here to see my friend, whose surname is Gu. He made a reservation for tonight."
"Then that's it." The waiter gestured. "Please come with me. Mr. Gu has arrived and is waiting for you in his room."
Wen Yan nodded and followed the staff.
This private restaurant has a Chinese architectural style, and you need to go through an open courtyard to get to the private rooms.
On the way there, Wen Yan had a feeling that the weather was about to change, and sure enough, it started to rain as soon as the two of them reached the central courtyard.
The rain came down quickly and suddenly, catching everyone off guard.
Wen Yan went out without a hat again today. She really disliked the feeling of her hair being wet, so she subconsciously said, "Let's go, let's go," and started jogging while covering her head.
Soon, the two ran into the corridor, and a staff member opened a door and led Wen Yan to a room called Yunlan Residence.
It wasn't until the staff closed the door and left that a man with a slightly furrowed brow in the room opposite Yunlan Residence came to his senses.
It is Shen Jingxiu.
He happened to be having dinner here with his good friend today.
Ji Yuanzhou just returned to China yesterday, and today he has already made an appointment to have dinner with Shen Jingxiu.
"What are you looking at?"
Ji Yuanzhou put down his phone and looked out the window.
Shen Jingxiu glanced at his friend and said calmly, "It's raining."
Ji Yuanzhou raised an eyebrow slightly and glanced at Shen Jingxiu with a half-smile.
"Shall I go close the window?"
"No need, the indoor heating is too strong. It's good to open the window for some fresh air."
Ji Yuanzhou nodded: "My sister said she hasn't seen you in a long time. She might come over to say hello later. You don't mind, do you?"
This private restaurant is run by Ji Yuanzhou's older sister, so when he invited his friends to eat there, he didn't need to make a reservation in advance and even got to enjoy the best and most spacious private room in the entire courtyard.
"Of course I don't mind. How's your sister doing lately?"
"It's great. Aside from the two kids being so noisy, she complained to me that she's aged two years since having children. But the kids bring her a lot of joy too. What about you? Do you have any plans to settle down?"
"No."
"Oh? That was a quick answer." After saying that, Ji Yuanzhou glanced at Yunlan Residence across the street.
He knew that a woman had gone to the room across the street, and Shen Jingxiu had been watching that woman the whole time.
But he lied when I asked him just now.
"Are you still so abstinent? You've never had a girlfriend."
"You just handed it over?" Shen Jingxiu's words shut Ji Yuanzhou down completely.
Ji Yuanzhou chuckled: "You know I don't like foreign women. I'm not leaving again this time. I declare my 'exile' officially over."
"What, are you planning to come back and take over the family business?"
"Yes, as you know, my older brother's health has never been very good, and he's planning to retire."
"What about your overseas companies?"
"Never mind, being a major shareholder who only receives dividends at the end of the year isn't a bad choice. You'll see when you retire. But it's probably too early for you; your younger brothers don't seem interested in the family business. By the way, have you found your real sister yet?"
"Found it."
"They recognized each other?"
"I guess so."
What does "consider" mean?
"She did not change her surname. Her adoptive parents treated her very well, and she had a deep bond with that family."
Ji Yuanzhou nodded: "I see. Then Uncle Shen and Aunt Su must be a little disappointed?"
"It's already quite good that we were able to find it."
"That's true. By the way, your adopted sister, if I remember correctly, is named Wen Yan."
Yes, you're not mistaken.
"Tsk, my memory is really good. I think I only saw her once when I was a teenager. I've seen a very popular female celebrity online recently, also named Wen Yan. Could she be your adopted sister?"
"You still follow the entertainment industry?"
“I don’t follow her online, but I do go online. I keep seeing news and videos about her. Do you think it’s her?” Ji Yuanzhou said, opening his phone.
Ji Yuanzhou showed the photo on his phone screen to Shen Jingxiu.
Shen Jingxiu glanced at it and nodded.
"Yes, this is my sister."
"Girls really do change a lot as they grow up," Ji Yuanzhou said, putting away his phone and scrolling through other pictures of Wen Yan. "I don't recognize her at all. Speaking of which, a woman just went into the room across the street. Her profile looked a bit like your sister. You probably saw her too, right?"
Shen Jingxiu did not deny this point, but she could not be sure whether that person was Wen Yan.
"You could tell that woman was wearing a mask?"
"No, when she pushed the door open later, I saw that she took off her mask. From my seat, I could see her clearly, but from your position, it wasn't as good."
"That might just be a resemblance. Wen Yan is probably filming right now, she seems to be quite busy lately, and hasn't been home for a long time."
Ji Yuanzhou nodded: "That's true. After all, I'm not very familiar with your sister, so it's very possible I'm mistaken. I have a phone call coming in, so I'll go out and take it."
"good."
As soon as Ji Yuanzhou left, Shen Jingxiu took out his phone.
