Fang Ting couldn't understand why Xu Wan was so persistent, so she could only nod and say, "Then come with me, but I really can't take you in. I'm sorry."
"It's alright, I'll just stand at the door and take a look."
Xu Wan didn't hold out any hope at all.
She just wanted to take one look, and then give up.
After all, Jiang Tingzhou has been missing for four years, and his chances of survival are almost zero.
Ten minutes later, Fang Ting led Xu Wan to the entrance of the cocktail party banquet hall upstairs.
Just as Fang Ting had said, she entered the banquet hall smoothly after showing her invitation, while Xu Wanze was stopped outside.
Because the cocktail party was small, it was only announced to a limited number of people, and most people were unaware of it.
However, those who didn't receive an invitation shared Xu Wan's idea: to arrive early at the banquet hall entrance and wait, hoping to speak with Ryan.
Xu Wan waited at the entrance of the banquet hall for almost half an hour, wearing high heels.
One by one, I watched as many familiar faces entered the banquet hall.
As the elevator reached this floor again, before the doors even opened, Xu Wan heard someone inside say, "Oh, I know, I know, stop nagging."
It was Yinggan's voice.
Xu Wan quickly lowered her head to straighten her clothes, and then raised her hand to tidy her hair.
The elevator doors slowly opened.
There were two people inside, one standing and one sitting. The one standing was Ying Gan, and the one sitting was Ryan.
Xu Wan stared intently at Ryan, who was sitting in a wheelchair. The man was wearing a black suit, with his left hand on his lap and his right hand on the control lever of the wheelchair, maneuvering it forward.
This is Ryan.
There was a deep scar on the right side of the man's face. Under the cold light of the gold-rimmed glasses, his dark eyes stared ahead without any ripples, like a deep well.
Seemingly sensing that someone was watching him, the man shifted his gaze slightly to the right side of the door.
When he looked over, Xu Wan was also looking at him.
Their eyes met.
After a brief pause, the man's dark eyes returned to the direction of the door, his face revealing no emotion.
However, Xu Wan's heart was pounding.
That familiar name caught in her throat, and her eyes welled up slightly.
It's Jiang Tingzhou!
They have completely different names, completely different backgrounds, and even completely different faces.
But that one glance was all too familiar to Xu Wan.
This Ryan is Jiang Tingzhou!
Ying Gan pushed the wheelchair forward, and it looked like the two were about to enter the banquet hall...
"Mr. Ying Gan!"
Xu Wan spoke up and called out to Ying Gan.
Ying Gan stopped and looked at Xu Wan, while Ryan's wheelchair naturally stopped in place as well.
Ying Gan looked Xu Wan up and down, raising an eyebrow slightly: "Beautiful lady, is there something you need?"
"Mr. Ying, let me introduce myself. My name is Xu Wan, and I come from Beicheng. I met you at my husband's company four years ago. He once told me that you and he are friends."
Xu Wan had no idea what the relationship was between Jiang Tingzhou and Ying Gan.
But if she doesn't say something, they'll miss their chance.
"Your husband?"
"My husband's name is Jiang Tingzhou."
When Xu Wan said the name, her eyes didn't have time to look at Ryan; she was only looking at Ying Gan.
If Ying Gan knew that Ryan was Jiang Tingzhou, his expression would definitely change at this moment.
really!
Ying Gan glanced awkwardly at Ryan beside him and gave an unnatural smile: "You must be the president of Tianwei, beautiful lady. You've misunderstood. I'm not friends with him at all."
"Really? Then I remembered wrong." Xu Wan bowed slightly. "I'm sorry to have bothered you. I'll be going now."
Ying Gan said in a nonchalant tone, "Beautiful lady, I won't see you out."
As Xu Wan stepped into the elevator, Ying Gan had already pushed Ryan's wheelchair into the banquet hall.
The cocktail party only lasted forty-odd minutes.
Afterwards, Ying Gan and Ryan went upstairs to the suite. Ying Gan took off his suit jacket, sat on the sofa, put his legs up on the coffee table, and said to Ryan, "You and your wife are really not a fake couple. I can tell at a glance."
Xu Wan didn't say it explicitly just now.
But Ying Gan knew that she recognized Ryan as Jiang Tingzhou.
Jiang Tingzhou lowered his eyes, his expression indifferent: "We'll go back after we finish this business, and then we won't see each other again."
Ying Gan's expression revealed a hint of regret. "I can see you still have feelings for each other. Are you really not going to tell her the truth?"
