With the power of the Gu family, it would be easy to tamper with such a large birthday party.
A few minutes later, while the three members of the Zhang family left to socialize, a waiter came over with a tray to deliver a message to Ye Lan.
"Ms. Ye, please come with me to the lounge next door. Mr. Xiao wants to see you for something."
The waiter bowed and whispered in a very soft voice, revealing a sense of mystery.
"Mr. Xiao?" Ye Lan's eyebrows twitched.
Afraid that she hadn't heard clearly, the other party emphasized and added, "Yes, Mr. Xiao Yunting, the chairman of the Xiao Group and the organizer of this birthday party, wants to meet you."
Make an appointment to meet you.
The last four words were entangled with an indescribable ambiguous atmosphere.
Ye Lan raised his eyes slightly and looked at the waiter steadily. After a few seconds, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, which was breathtakingly beautiful.
"Okay, I'll go with you now."
She stood up, looking a little impatient, like Cinderella who was chosen by the prince at the ball.
The waiter looked away and smiled in a hypocritical and deliberate manner, "Please be quiet and follow me."
Having said that, he turned and walked away along an empty corner, out of the banquet hall, and turned into the guest room lounge area at the back. Hearing the footsteps following him closely, a hint of contempt could not be suppressed in his eyes.
So what if she is good-looking? She is still vain and can't see her own identity.
Arriving at one of the doors, he confirmed the house number, turned around, and said with a polite smile again, "Mr. Xiao is inside. Miss Ye can go in by herself. I wish you a pleasant evening."
Ye Lan listened to these suggestive words, and a hint of joy appeared on his lips. "Thank you, I will."
He immediately pushed the door open and walked in.
Click.
The door closed again, the waiter turned around, took out his cell phone and sent a text message.
'People have already gone in.'
Meanwhile, rest in the guest room.
In the darkness, Ye Lan stood by the door, looking at the man standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his back to her. He was 1.75 meters tall, a little short and fat, with his neck bent forward and his posture was not very good.
"Ms. Ye, I have noticed you for a long time. You are the most dazzling presence in this birthday party, so I would like to treat you to a drink alone." The man spoke, his voice was weak and hoarse, with a sense of decadence as if alcohol had drained his body.
“…” Ye Lan didn’t say anything.
"Miss Ye?" The man seemed to find it a little strange, and he seemed to be unsteady. He asked again, "Don't you want to turn on the light and look at me?"
Not really.
Ye Lan glanced at the surveillance cameras on the ceiling in all corners, folded his arms and leaned against the wall, saying in a somewhat lazy tone, "No, it feels good this way."
Hearing this, the man paused, then looked at the moonlight pouring in through the French window and chuckled, "You little girls just love this kind of hazy dream. Don't worry, I will spoil you like a little princess from now on, and make you feel like you're living in a dream every day."
Ye Lan: “…”
She listened quietly to the other party's cheesy love words, which were 100% full of sugar, and waited silently.
Finally, after a few minutes, the man ran out of words and felt that the warm-up was almost complete, so he invited: "Can I invite you for a drink and then we can dance in the moonlight."
As he spoke, he picked up the champagne that had been prepared on the table and poured two glasses, then handed one over.
Seeing this, Ye Lan did not refuse. She walked over and took the cup with her slender hands. Her face, as white as jade, gradually appeared in the moonlight.
The man only then saw her appearance up close, and his breath suddenly stopped, and he stared in amazement. It was not until he drank a glass of wine that he realized something was wrong.
This isn't meant for him!
But looking at the girl in front of him who was as beautiful as a fairy from heaven, he felt that it was worth it to drink. He was willing to pay money to spend a night with such a beauty.
Ye Lan took two sips of the wine and put down the glass, then continued to listen to the other party's chattering, and his increasingly excited praise.
Until the man stopped, said sorry and took out his mobile phone, seemed to see some message, and subconsciously looked up at the surveillance camera, frowning a little irritably.
"Is there something wrong?" Ye Lan asked, a rare question.
"It's okay!" The man shook his head excitedly, and after guzzling two more glasses, his eyes gradually became blurry. "I think I've had a little too much to drink. I feel dizzy now. Can you help me to the bed to rest for a while?"
As he said that, he reached out to hug Ye Lan.
Ye Lan slightly sidestepped, leaving the other party empty-handed, and pointed to the bed with a cold expression, "Why don't you go to the bed and wait for me first? I'll give you a surprise."
The man was drunk and felt even hotter all over. He untied his tie and smiled obscenely at the words, "Okay, then come quickly. I'll wait for you."
After saying that, he stumbled and ran towards the bed.
Seeing this, Ye Lan gently picked up the champagne on the table, turned around and left the room.
When they reached the corridor, she turned her other wrist and revealed a mobile phone as if by magic. It was the one the man had just taken out and looked at.
'Damn it, why didn't they turn on the lights? And the surveillance camera couldn't capture her face!'
The latest text message above clearly describes the situation in the room.
Ye Lan knew who sent the message without thinking, so he replied casually: "Come over first. I'm not sure how far I'll go. Without seeing you in person, I dare not act rashly in Xiao's territory."
After sending it, she deleted the record and threw it directly into the trash can. Then she untied the hem of her pearl skirt and walked away.
When we returned to the banquet hall, it was already packed with guests. Everyone gathered in front of the stage, where several children from wealthy families were performing their talents. Without exception, they were all little kids around five or six years old.
"Tsk tsk, I thought these people had invested a lot of money. Not only did they want to marry their daughter to Xiao Yunting, they also dragged other children from their family to be playmates for Xiao's adopted daughter. It seems that my sugar-coated attack is useless."
Zhang Xiaoxiao came over to gossip with her, holding a jar of lollipops in her hand, and simply opened it and gave one to everyone.
Ye Lan looked at the group of little kids in front of the stage, then looked at the lollipop in his hand, and was speechless for a moment.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the gate.
Someone shouted, "Boss Xiao is here!"
Everyone's eyes gathered together.
Ye Lan looked back and saw a man in a black suit, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, whose proportions were close to perfect, walking into the room under the bright crystal chandelier.
He walked with a steady pace, his temperament was cold and sharp, and his face, so handsome that it looked like a sculpture, was so overwhelming that people dared not look directly at him.
While everyone was moving away, Xiao Yunting slowly raised his deep eyes and accurately met Ye Lan's gaze in the crowd.
Bang bang.
At that moment, Ye Lan heard his own irregular heartbeat, his cheeks felt a little hot, and his fingertips unconsciously clenched the wine glass in his hand.
Zhang Xiaoxiao nudged her from the side and asked, "Are you okay?"
"Hmm?" Ye Lan shifted his gaze to look at her.
Zhang Xiaoxiao stared at her with a strange expression and said, "You look quite shy, but your face is expressionless, and looks very torn."
