The female stars who are glamorous in the entertainment industry and are used to being sought after wherever they go, are ignored here and are treated like decorations, being looked up and down by people at will.

Ling Lan didn't have the courage to meet those gazes at this moment.

I could only lower my head in agony.

Fortunately, within two minutes, the bright halo of ceiling light gathered in the center of the banquet hall, the banquet was officially announced to begin, and everyone in the banquet hall moved towards the center. Naturally, not many people paid attention to the two sisters anymore.

Ling Lan scolded her sister for a long time with a cold face. If she continued to do this, she would tell her uncle to let her leave and go home as soon as possible. When Ling Ting heard this, she was unwilling to leave. She hadn't stayed long enough! She kept shouting no.

Then he had no choice but to act like a quail, saying that he would be obedient from now on. Ling Lan pursed her lips, calmed herself down, and reluctantly agreed.

Ling Lan and Ling Ting could only vaguely hear the calm and sharp speech of the banquet host from the periphery. Because they were not qualified to squeeze into the inner circle, they could not even see the edge of the banquet host's clothes.

Ling Lan stared at her sister without blinking until the banquet was completely over two hours later, fearing that she would act rashly again and make a fool of herself.

Uncle had something else to do, so he let them go back first.

Outside the banquet hall, there was a luxuriously decorated corridor with famous oil paintings everywhere on the walls. The air was filled with the rich scent of expensive spices, and the floor was covered with soft, thick carpets with intricate patterns. When you stepped on them, you felt dizzy. Ling Lan and Ling Ting stood in the middle of the corridor and waited for less than a minute before the elevator arrived.

It was also quick to come down from the top floor. As soon as the elevator door opened, the two sisters walked out.

At this moment, a woman suddenly came towards them. She had long curly hair, and was wearing all branded goods. She was dressed very exquisitely and in a grand manner. She walked in front in high heels, directing two waiters behind her to help her push her luggage.

When passing by.

Ling Lan just thought the voice sounded familiar, so she looked up curiously. However, she froze in place, tilted her head in disbelief, and looked at the woman carefully.

The next second, he asked tentatively: "Gu Yun?!"

The woman whose name was called immediately raised her head reflexively. Ling Lan saw it more clearly and confirmed who it was. She was extremely surprised: "It's really you!"

Just as he was about to step forward, a flash of panic flashed across the woman's face for a second, so fast that it was impossible to catch it. Then her face changed, she picked up her sunglasses and put them on, raised her chin and said coldly: "You recognized the wrong person."

Then leave.

Ling Lan frowned in confusion: "It's me, Ling Lan, you, don't you remember?"

The woman's face turned even colder, and she repeated through gritted teeth: "You got the wrong person."

Then she walked quickly into the elevator in her high heels, ignoring the waiter who was pushing her suitcase. She quickly pressed the elevator door closing button and disappeared in front of Ling Lan as if escaping.

…

On the way back to Beijing.

Ling Lan couldn't figure it out.

She was sure that she had not recognized the wrong person, but she didn't know why Gu Yun pretended not to know her.

and--

Gu Yun has changed so much that if I hadn't seen her so closely, I would have almost not recognized her. She is completely different. She is no longer the little girl who was criticized by the school every week for hanging out with people outside the school, smoking, drinking, and dyeing her hair when she was in middle school...

Ling Ting, her younger sister beside her, obviously also remembered it.

With a look of disdain and contempt, he said, "Sister, that was Gu Yun who used to be in the same class with you."

When Ling Ting was in junior high school, she and her sister went to the same school in the small city where her grandmother lived. Although she was two years younger than her sister, she knew about Gu Yun, who was in a different class. "I remember that she was kept by an old man 20 years older than her for a whole summer vacation, which caused a sensation in the school."

"She looked so grand just now, it seems she went to a deluxe room in the hotel." Ling Ting searched on her phone and exclaimed, "Sister! The deluxe room in the hotel we just came out of costs 5,000 yuan a night!"

"How could she possibly afford to live there on her own?"

Ling Lan did not refute, because Gu Yun really could not afford to live there. The incident caused a lot of uproar at that time, and the school's reputation was seriously damaged. All the affairs of Gu Yun's family were spread out.

Gu Yun's father was a useless, drunk, and gambler. When he got drunk, he would beat his wife and daughter. His name was known to everyone in the area, and he was a notorious bad guy that everyone wanted to avoid. The whole family depended on the mother to do some manual work to supplement the family income. With such a precarious family situation,

How can you afford to stay in a hotel that costs five thousand a night?

Ling Ting sneered: "It seems that she has become a decent person now. She pretends not to know you because she is afraid that you will expose her past to her face and make her lose face."

Ling Lan frowned, but didn't intend to take it to heart: "Probably."

And then he said nothing more.

…

** There was a knock on the door of a luxury suite in the hotel.

"Miss Gu, you forgot to take your luggage."

The two waiters seemed to have not noticed what happened in front of the elevator just now. They were very dedicated and brought the luggage up with a normal expression.

The two suitcases were numbly left at the door and no one cared about them anymore.

Gu Yun stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, her whole body cold. She hugged her arms tightly for a long time but could not feel a trace of warmth.

She thought that she would never meet people who knew her past, a past that was so disgusting, so dark and dirty that it could not be shown to others, and was enough to make her fall into the abyss of no return.

In fact, some time ago, in that club, Gu Yun had already seen Ling Lan among the crew.

At that time, she was panicked for a moment and wanted to run away on the spot, but she soon found that Ling Lan did not notice her, perhaps because it was too dark.

Gu Yun also hurriedly calmed herself down. Even if it was not dark, Ling Lan probably would not recognize her. After all, she was not the same person she used to be.

The changes are huge, a complete transformation.

She is now the recognized girlfriend of Shi Xuan, the eldest son of the Shi family in Beijing, in the circle of aristocratic families.

She had long since climbed out of the mud in the swamp and reached the top, becoming a superior person and living a gorgeous life.

This time she came to Jiangcheng to attend an auction. The spoils she bought at high prices filled her suitcase. Before entering the hotel, she smiled and showed off her spoils in the circle of wealthy daughters.

She is Shi Xuan's girlfriend, and everyone respects her and praises her.

But Gu Yun never expected that she would meet Ling Lan here.

As soon as I saw her, those dark days came back to me vividly.

no!

Absolutely not! She absolutely doesn't want to go back to the past! Gu Yun's eyes flashed coldly.
