"Miss! Mr. Li has agreed to let you go with him!" Aunt Liu said excitedly.
"Really? That's great! I need to pick out some clothes right away!" Wang Siyuan quickly ran back to her room and started choosing clothes.
What should she wear? A suit? Wouldn't that be a bit too formal? An evening gown? Wouldn't that be a bit too extravagant?
In the end, Wang Siyuan chose a bright blue strapless evening gown.
This was the first time Li Churan had taken her to a subordinate's home for dinner! She definitely had to dress up nicely!
It wasn't until 6:30 p.m. that Wang Siyuan finally finished getting dressed!
She was adorned with jewels from head to toe, like a Christmas tree.
This time, her outfit finally didn't make her look old, because it was too tacky.
She hadn't even been dressed for ten minutes when Li Churan arrived!
"Let's go!" Li Churan glanced at her coldly.
"Okay!" Wang Siyuan followed behind him like a little puppy, enjoying the attention of everyone.
Li Churan's expression was quite unpleasant. He hadn't expected Wang Siyuan to dress so extravagantly, but it was too late for her to go back now!
He could only walk briskly ahead, while Wang Siyuan jogged behind him.
"Chu Ran, wait for me! Why are you walking so fast?" Wang Siyuan said breathlessly.
Finally, Li Churan stopped in front of a room.
"We're here!" Li Churan knocked on the door.
Meanwhile, Lin Mengru and Zhao Tianyu were already waiting in the room.
The table was laden with brightly colored and fragrant home-style dishes.
These dishes were certainly not made by Lin Mengru; they were the result of her asking someone for help. However, she was smarter than Wang Siyuan. She wouldn't be foolish enough to make a whole Manchu Han Imperial Feast and then claim that she made it herself.
"Tianyu, you're really lucky! You've found such a beautiful girlfriend, and she's such a good cook too!"
"That's right! You should quickly share your experience with us!"
"You're living together so quickly? You've got some skills!"
Listening to the words of his teammates around him, some envious, some jealous, Zhao Tianyu's vanity swelled to an extreme.
Even Lin Mengru was beaming with pride.
"No, no, what nonsense are you all talking about?"
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"The boss is here! Hurry up and open the door!"
"Why don't you let me go?" Lin Mengru said with a virtuous expression.
"No! I'll go! You've never met our boss before!"
Zhao Tianyu opened the door with a look of excitement on his face.
"Boss, you've finally arrived! Sister-in-law, you're here too!" Zhao Tianyu was clearly surprised that Wang Siyuan would come along as well.
"Boss, let me introduce you! This is my girlfriend, Lin Mengru. Hmm! Where is Mengru?" Zhao Tianyu was about to introduce her when he discovered that Lin Mengru had somehow hidden in the corner.
"Mengru, what are you doing here? Come here quickly! Our boss is here! Let me introduce you!" Zhao Tianyu was so excited that he didn't notice that Lin Mengru was in a bad mood.
In fact, Lin Mengru recognized Li Churan the moment the door opened.
Although she already knew yesterday that Zhao Tianyu's boss's surname was Li, she really didn't expect that person would actually be Li Churan.
Looking at that familiar handsome face, she instinctively wanted to hide, but Zhao Tianyu, with his sharp eyes, pulled her out!
"Boss, this is my new girlfriend, Lin Mengru!"
"Mengru, this is our boss, Li Churan! And also! Our boss's wife, Miss Wang Siyuan!"
Lin Mengru lowered her head guiltily, not daring to look at Li Churan.
Li Churan's eyes blazed with a chilling fire. He hadn't expected Lin Mengru to be so resilient, to have survived until now, and to have become his subordinate's girlfriend.
"Mengru! Say hello to our boss and the others!" Zhao Tianyu urged from the side.
"Um! Mr. Li, hello!" Lin Mengru's voice was barely audible.
Li Churan simply stared at her without answering.
On the contrary, Wang Siyuan, with her sharp eyes, recognized Lin Mengru.
"You're not that Lin..." Wang Siyuan's words were cut off by Li Churan covering her mouth.
“You’ve mistaken her for someone else! The person you’re talking about is not this young lady!” Li Churan said with a hint of threat.
"Mmm!" Wang Siyuan nodded quickly, her mouth covered.
Li Churan then released her mouth.
"What? Boss, do you two know each other?" Zhao Tianyu asked with a suspicious look.
"I don't know him!" Li Churan said calmly, and Lin Mengru quickly shook her head as well.
"Miss Lin! Hello!"
"Mr. Li! Hello!" Lin Mengru felt so embarrassed she was about to burst through the earth. How could such a coincidence happen to her?
Only Zhao Tianyu, oblivious to the danger, chimed in, "Boss, sister-in-law, come in quickly!"
“Yes! Yes!” Lin Mengru quickly chimed in.
"Your name is Lin Mengru?" Wang Siyuan stared at Lin Mengru with a jealous look on her face. She couldn't be mistaken; this woman was clearly the Lin Mengru in the file.
She turned out to be Chu Ran's first love and white moonlight. Chu Ran divorced his ex-wife for her and even paid a price of 1 billion.
She's pretty and charming, but she has this green tea look on her face! She's obviously a hypocrite, ptooey!
Wang Siyuan felt both bitter and hostile.
Despite her efforts to avoid mentioning her age, Wang Siyuan couldn't help but compare herself to her younger rival.
Lin Mengru pretended not to know them and continued to entertain the crowd. Listening to the praise from others, she gave an awkward smile.
Li Churan's face turned icy; Lin Mengru's actions were the greatest disgrace of his life.
Wang Siyuan kept glancing back and forth at Li Churan and Lin Mengru with a sour look on her face, wondering how likely it was that the two would rekindle their old flame.
"Boss! Please sit here!" Zhao Tianyu was immersed in happiness and did not notice the subtle change in the atmosphere between Li Churan and Lin Mengru.
