Chapter 508 Not Mother and Daughter
Eleven was very surprised.
With Bai Lan's personality, he wouldn't meddle in other people's business.
Bai Lan should be unhappy about his bravery.
Just now in the car, Bai Lan didn't react when he saw the old lady being robbed. Eleven couldn't bear it and stopped the car to help without permission. Although Bai Lan didn't blame him, his patience must have been almost exhausted.
According to common sense, there shouldn't be any extra helpers.
But Eleven likes Suman very much.
She is kind-hearted and brave, and looks weak on the outside, but I didn't expect that when she gets into a fight, she is not a lady at all.
Because of this, Eleven was also very happy that Bai Lan could take Su Man with him.
Su Man was still hesitant: "This...isn't it inconvenient?"
"It's not inconvenient. You're going to Lanyue Manor to attend the banquet, right? We want to attend the banquet too. We are friends of the host. If you don't get in the car now, it will be too late. Eleven's hand is still injured."
Bai Lan easily won Su Man's heart with just a few words.
Eleven rolled down the car window at the right moment and pointed to his arm.
Su Man said awkwardly, "Okay, then... I'll trouble you."
Su Man got in the car and the three of them set off together.
Eleven was driving, while Bai Lan and Su Man were sitting in the back seat.
Along the way, Bai Lan was particularly warm to Su Man:
"Are you a dance student?"
Su Man was surprised: "Madam, can you tell?"
Bai Lan smiled, "Judging from your behavior, you do have some of the airs of a dancer. However, I'm sure you're a dancer because just now, the kick you used on that robber was very similar to 'fishing for the moon from the bottom of the sea'. Your skills are quite good. Only dancers who have reached a certain level can perform that move so skillfully and naturally, especially in such a critical situation."
"Madam, are you also studying dance?"
"Do I look like you?"
Bai Lan straightened his back and let Su Man observe him.
Su Man said sincerely: "To be honest, I can't tell. However, Madam is very elegant."
Bai Lan smiled brightly, "I like honest children. When I was young, I was best at 'fishing for the moon from the bottom of the sea', but now I'm old and can't do it anymore."
Hearing that Bai Lan was a fellow traveler, Su Man's eyes lit up.
With a common topic, Suman talked a lot more and the conversation between the two became relaxed. The conversation never stopped along the way.
Eleven could see that Bai Lan liked Su Man very much.
This kind of liking is different from the one he has for Luo Yan. It is a natural liking that comes from the heart without any reason.
What Eleven didn't know was that when Bai Lan saw Su Man for the first time, he felt an indescribable sense of familiarity.
This familiarity goes beyond the familiarity of perception.
It's a feeling of closeness.
It’s as if we knew each other in a previous life.
Bai Lan even felt his heart palpitating for a few seconds.
Bai Lan has no feelings about doing things that are righteous and brave.
But because it was Su Man, Bai Lan also felt a liking for Su Man for no reason, as she was willing to ruin her dress in order to help the weak.
Now that I know Su Man is studying dance, I look at her even more and like her even more.
Bai Lan herself studied dance.
She values talent.
Arrived at the makeup place.
Eleven went to treat the wound, while Bai Lan took Su Man to the formal wear area.
Bai Lan has always been a dull person.
But this time, he was very warm to Suman.
From clothing to styling, she personally helped with references and instructed the stylist to dress Su Man well.
The way she did her best was just like a mother taking care of her child.
Even the shop assistant misunderstood the relationship between Bai Lan and Su Man.
Suman changed her clothes and came out of the dressing room.
She is graceful and elegant, with a charming smile.
Bai Lan looked at Su Man, his eyes filled with satisfaction:
"You're naturally beautiful. You have fair skin, and choosing plain clothes makes them look classy. The dress you wore before was luxurious, but it was too showy, making you look gaudy. This new one is just right. I guarantee you'll be the center of attention the moment you step out on stage."
The shop assistant also praised sincerely: "The mother and daughter both have very fair skin. Walking together, they don't look like mother and daughter, but more like sisters."
Su Man looked a little embarrassed and quickly corrected: "We are not mother and daughter."
Bai Lan did not feel unhappy about being misunderstood, but smiled with pursed lips.
It delayed a lot of time.
Finally we set off and headed for Lanyue Manor, but it was already too late.
Su Man looked at her watch frequently, feeling a little anxious.
Gu Ziheng has sent a message urging him.
Bai Lan saw Su Man's anxiety and couldn't help but comfort her: "It's okay, we are familiar with the host of the banquet, and no one will say anything even if we are late. If we can't get in through the main gate, we can go in through the back door and take the host's family path."
"Thank you, ma'am." Su Man said politely.
Bai Lan couldn't help but ask, "You're going to attend Mrs. Bai's private party. I should know you, but why have I never seen you before?"
Su Man could see that Bai Lan had been taking care of her all the way, so she answered frankly:
"I'm the young master of the Gu family's female companion, not the main invitee. It's normal that you don't know me."
"Young Master Gu, which Young Master Gu?"
"Gu Ziheng."
"Gu Ziheng?" Bai Lan was startled. "Would you...could you tell me your name?"
Su Man was a little surprised by Bai Lan's reaction, but she still answered truthfully: "My last name is Su, and my given name is Man."
Suman.
It turned out to be Su Man.
Bai Lan was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
How could such a coincidence happen in the world?
Could this be God playing a joke on me?
Eleven, who was driving, also looked up in shock and looked at the person in the rearview mirror.
Bai Lan had always heard Luo Yan mention Su Man, and he even went to the snow mountain in person to witness the farce.
But in fact, Bai Lan had never seen Su Man up close.
I also don’t know what Su Man really looks like.
She would help Luo Yan only within the scope of her rights and just do a small favor.
I don’t really care that much about Luo Yan’s affairs.
She wouldn't even look up Suman's information herself.
If she just looks it up, she can understand most of it.
Bai Lan didn't say anything, and the carriage fell into an eerie silence.
Su Man noticed this subtle change.
Although she didn't know what happened, she didn't ask and just pretended not to know.
The network of relationships among the upper class officials and dignitaries is complicated and it is not Su Man's business to ask about or interfere.
meet by chance.
Once we got off the bus, no one recognized each other.
There's no need to delve into it further.
When they arrived at Lanyue Villa, Bai Lan did not let Su Man go through the guest passage. Instead, he took Su Man into the main house of the villa, and then asked a servant to take Su Man to the front hall.
This means that a private green channel was opened for Suman.
Su Man thanked Bai Lan and left with the servant.
Bai Lan looked at Su Man's back with mixed feelings.
Eleven used sign language to Bai Lan: "Madam, what are you thinking about?"
Bai Lan sighed and didn't answer.
Eleven continued, "Don't you think she's not like what Luo Yan said?"
Eleven likes Su Man more than Luo Yan.
Bai Lan said vaguely, "Let's not go to the front hall for now. Let these youngsters make a fuss first. We'll wait and see how things develop and what kind of trouble they come up with."
