Chapter 128 Secret

Even when they reached their destination, Zhou Nuan still couldn't believe it.

After parking the car, he took her to the venue, and then she realized what was going on.

The venue was in a building, and there were people guarding the door, and they were only allowed in after inspection. Quite a few people had already gone there, dressed very formally, and she even saw quite a few blond-haired, blue-eyed foreign friends, who looked like reporters or something.

He glanced at Gu Xiyue again. He was wearing a black suit, a white shirt and a blue tie. His tall figure was perfectly set off. He was calm and unrestrained, and the outline of his future boss was already visible.

He walked neither fast nor slow, and looked so calm and composed with his eyes looking straight ahead, as if he was not going to some big occasion, but just in his own small factory.

Zhou Nuan caught up with him in small steps, "Gu Xiyue, is it really okay for me to do this?"

Because she was going to visit Luo Fanxing, she dressed simply, wearing only a plain dress, with her hair loose, and she didn't even put on any makeup, just a little lipstick.

Gu Xiyue's gaze rested on her fair little face. Ever since she came to Haicheng, perhaps because the water in Haicheng was more nourishing, her skin became more moisturized and fair. Even if she only put on red lips, it was enough to be stunning.

"The lotus emerges from clear water, naturally without any decoration." He said in a voice.

"What?" Zhou Nuan didn't hear clearly.

"It's okay, it looks great." He took her hand and said, "Let's go, Sister Chen is waiting for us."

When we arrived at the venue, there were already quite a few people sitting inside. The auction hadn't started yet, and everyone was sitting relatively casually, talking in low voices.

Gu Xiyue took her to the other side of the venue, which was the visiting area, and Chen Yan sat in one of the seats.

"Sister-in-law!" Zhou Nuan called out hurriedly.

Chen Yan turned around and smiled when she saw it was her. "Nuan Nuan, you're here too."

Pulling her hand and sitting down next to her, Chen Yan said to Gu Xiyue, "I'll take care of her, you go ahead."

Gu Xiyue nodded, thanked him and turned to leave.

Zhou Nuan thought he brought her in and would leave just to fulfill his wish of witnessing history, so she didn't take it seriously.

"Sister-in-law, is it okay for you to bring me in?"

Chen Yan was stunned. "You didn't think I used my connections to call you in, did you?"

Her reaction made Zhou Nuan confused, "Isn't it?"

Chen Yan laughed, "Zhou Nuan, Zhou Nuan, am I that kind of person? Even if my old Zhao agrees, I still won't agree."

"Then..." Then why was she able to come in?

As far as she knew, the threshold and conditions for participation this time were quite strict. Ordinary small businesses were not even qualified to visit, let alone their small clothing factory.

Seeing her confused look, Chen Yan shook her head and said, "You really don't understand your Gu Xiyue."

"..." Isn't he just a retired soldier? After being injured and discharged, he came to Haicheng and opened a small clothing factory. It was in a loss-making state in the past few years, and it has gradually improved in the past two years. That's all.

Chen Yan knew what she was thinking at a glance, "If he is just an ordinary veteran, why are people so polite to him at my old Zhao's welcoming party? It's not because of my old Zhao's face."

"Okay, I don't want to talk about his secrets anymore. Go back and ask him slowly."

Zhou Nuan's mind was full of doubts and regrets.

His secret? What secret is Gu Xiyue hiding from me?

She hadn't finished reading the original book, so she didn't know much about Gu Xiyue. If she had known that she would be transported into the book, she would have definitely finished reading it.

Chen Yan: "Okay, stop worrying about it, the auction is about to start."

Zhou Nuan quickly sat up straight, looked up, and then she saw Luo Chenxing sitting in the auction seat.

The suit and tie made him look more like her third brother, if his eyebrows and eyes were more casual. But why was Luo Chenxing sitting there? She thought he was a staff member or something.

It turns out that everyone has secrets.

Outside the venue.

Ji Nianshan, dressed in formal attire, was stopped outside the door with his mother, who was also dressed elegantly. "Invitation card."

Jinianshan said quickly, "Hello comrade, we know Director Zhao inside, please go and inform him and we will know."

The staff member was unmoved. "Sorry, either give me the invitation card or ask Director Zhao to come out to meet you. Otherwise, I can't let you in without permission."

"Why are you being unreasonable? We really do know Director Zhao. You'll know if you go in and ask." Ji's mother said with a frown.

The staff member glanced at her, seemed too lazy to talk to her, and said nothing with a stern face, looking very businesslike.

"You!" Ji's mother was furious.

Ji Nian Shan pulled her and held his breath, "Forget it."

The two walked to the side and pulled Ji Huayan out from the corner. "What's going on? Didn't you say that as long as you report Director Zhao's name, you can go in? Did you tell Chen Yan about this?"

Ji Huayan shrank back: She had made an agreement with Chen Yan, but she was not allowed to see her even once. Every time she went, she was sent away because she was busy with work. If she didn't need money, would she have asked them for it under the pretext of giving Chen Yan a gift?

Originally, she wanted to ask the Ji couple to come over. If they were refused entry, she would say that maybe Chen Yan forgot to instruct the people below. Anyway, they didn't dare to confront Chen Yan.

However, after seeing the sinister eyes of Ji Jian Shan, his courage shrank back.

"Hua Yan, tell me the truth, are you lying to us?" Ji Nianshan could see the evasive look in Ji Huayan's eyes. Having raised her for more than 20 years, he knew what she was thinking at a glance.

I indulged her before because I had a purpose, but now... It's ok that she can't even handle a man, but now even Chen Yan ignores her, what's the use of her? !

Ji Huayan shuddered for no reason, then hurriedly shook her head, "It's okay, Dad, I really didn't lie to you, I really told Aunt Chen about it, she might be busy so she forgot to tell me... I'll go over and ask, I'll definitely be able to get in."

"It would be better if I knew that this never happened..." Kineyama said in a dangerous tone.

Ji Huayan was secretly annoyed.

If her father knew that she took the money and didn't go to Chen Yan but went to inquire about the Zhou family in Wantou Village, she didn't know what his reaction would be. He might not just scold her and ask her to return the money. She didn't have the money to return it. Moreover, she always felt that her adoptive parents were becoming less and less patient with her, so she couldn't gamble.

They have to go in today no matter what!

Ji Huayan gritted her teeth, put on a self-proclaimed smile, and walked towards the staff.
