After what Gao Menglan said just now, everyone raised their heads and looked out the door curiously.
However, after seeing the man's appearance, they all showed disappointed expressions. Is that it?
I didn't expect that the reality was really as Gao Menglan said. The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. No wonder Zhou Yunwan didn't say a word the whole time. It turned out that she knew that her partner was not good enough.
At this time, Hao Pingming, who was standing at the door, faced the gazes from all directions. He scratched the back of his head in confusion. Was it his illusion? Why are so many people looking at him?
It was the first time for him to see so many good-looking people gathered together, all handsome men and beautiful women. For a moment, he didn't know where to put his eyes. Some of them looked very familiar to him, as if he had seen them somewhere before...
After thinking for a long time, I remembered that I had seen it in the cinema. Aren’t these people all legendary big stars?
Thinking of this, he became quite excited.
Seeing Hao Pingming's silly and honest appearance, Gao Menglan covered her lips and laughed out loud, looking at Zhou Yunwan beside her with a half-smile, and said with a hint of meaning: "What did I say? But we can't judge people by their appearance. Maybe he is rich and capable?"
Her tone was sarcastic, and she was definitely not saying that to smooth things over. Instead, she was mocking Zhou Yunwan for being with the man just for his money, and was a snob who was out to get something for nothing.
...
...
The others had different expressions when they heard this, and no one responded, but they couldn't help but agree with this statement in their hearts.
After all, there is a big gap in their looks. When two people are dating, they are either interested in the face or something else. Even if they are not interested in money, they should at least be interested in the other person's character.
Cheng Jinche's hand holding the wine glass paused, not because of Gao Menglan's words, but because the person who came was not the one he expected. He thought Zhou Yunwan's marriage partner would be the man he had met before, but he didn't expect it to be a stranger.
Zhou Yunwan glared at Gao Menglan fiercely, her eyes filled with terrifying hostility.
The latter's smile froze, and he sat up uncomfortably, muttering in dissatisfaction: "Why are you glaring at me? You have no taste for men..."
"Heh." Zhou Yunwan chuckled and ignored her rudeness. She took her things and stood up, heading towards Hao Pingming to greet him: "Teacher Hao, why are you here?"
Hao Pingming suppressed his inner excitement, retracted his gaze to look at Zhou Yunwan, and said stiffly: "Hello sister-in-law, Professor Shen asked me to come here. There is no temporary parking space at the door. He was afraid that someone would need to move the car, so he asked me to come and pick you up."
The conversation between the two fell into everyone's ears. Someone was surprised and touched his companion's arm: "Why does it sound like that man is not Comrade Zhou's partner?"
"Yes, that man called her sister-in-law..."
Zhou Yunwan figured out the reason, and thinking of Shen Yanli staring outside, she couldn’t wait to turn around and say to Cheng Jinche: “Director Cheng, then I’ll leave first.”
Cheng Jinche nodded nonchalantly, which was considered as his agreement.
Seeing this, Zhou Yunwan exchanged some pleasantries with the others, then left the private room with Hao Pingming.
After walking a distance, Hao Pingming couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, how do you know those people? Are they all celebrities?"
This was the second time the two had met, so it would have been a little awkward.
But Hao Pingming is a very outgoing person, always smiling at everyone, and he has a baby face with clear stupidity in his eyes. Doesn't he look like a simple-minded person who is easy to deceive?
Zhou Yunwan glanced at him and saw that he seemed to be completely unaware of other people's ill will towards him, and even had a good impression of others. She couldn't help but pursed her lips and said after a long while: "They are my colleagues, and I will cooperate with them in the future."
Hao Pingming's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but raise his voice by two degrees: "Then why haven't I seen you, sister-in-law, in the movies? I love watching movies, and I have seen almost every movie that is released."
Hearing this, Zhou Yunwan laughed twice and explained, "I just entered the industry this year, and the filming of the movie hasn't started yet."
Hao Pingming suddenly realized something and said, "Oh!" After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "When the movie is released, sister-in-law, remember to let me know so I can go and support it."
He was also sensible and knew that a lot of content needed to be kept confidential before the movie was released, so he didn't ask any further questions.
Zhou Yunwan smiled from the bottom of her heart, tucked her hair around her ears, and said, "Thank you so much, I'll give you two movie tickets when the time comes."
The two chatted and laughed, and unknowingly arrived at the entrance of the hotel.
As Hao Pingming said, Shen Yanli’s car was parked not far from the entrance.
Hao Pingming opened the umbrella, and Zhou Yunwan was about to walk in when she heard a chaotic sound of footsteps behind her. She subconsciously turned her head and saw the people in the private room walking towards them.
Seeing that they hadn't left yet, Gao Menglan crossed her arms and explained, "We thought the people who went to buy umbrellas would be back by now, so we came out to wait for them so that we could leave together."
"Oh." Zhou Yunwan smiled perfunctorily, rolled her eyes in her heart, pretending not to see through her thoughts, and pulled Hao Pingming to leave.
Gao Menglan thought of what those people had just said, looked around, and locked her eyes on the car not far away.
Zhou Yunwan's boyfriend can actually afford a car, and the guy just now called her boyfriend professor. Could it be that it is really like what she thought, that Zhou Yunwan is dating a rich man?
Unfortunately, the rain was too heavy, and I couldn’t see the person in the car window clearly through the rain.
Gao Menglan couldn't help but frown. She initially thought that Hao Pingming was Zhou Yunwan's partner, but as soon as Zhou Yunwan and the others left, she learned the truth from other people. She chased them out just to see what Zhou Yunwan's real partner looked like.
How could she let them leave if she didn't see it now?
Seeing the two were about to leave, Gao Menglan bit her lower lip and said hurriedly: "Comrade Zhou, are you in a hurry to leave? Why don't you stay with us for a while?"
Zhou Yunwan paused, turned her head and looked at Gao Menglan, and asked with a smile: "Comrade Gao, don't you think your request is a bit excessive?"
"How can you say that? Isn't this the first time we meet?"
"You know this is the first time we meet."
As soon as these words were spoken, Gao Menglan's face visibly fell.
Zhou Yunwan had no intention of being nice to her anymore because she had wasted so much time.
Just when he was about to ignore her and leave, the driver's door of a car not far away was opened from the inside, followed by a black umbrella, and soon, a sturdy man walked out.
The man was dressed in black and holding a black umbrella, and he looked like he was about to melt into the misty rain.
Half of his face was hidden in the flickering shadows, so his specific appearance could not be seen clearly. All that could be seen was that he was very tall, almost 1.9 meters tall, a few centimeters taller than Cheng Jinche, the tallest among them, and he was very oppressive.
As he slowly approached, the arc of the umbrella slowly tilted upwards, revealing the man's true face.
