Gu Huaiye stared at the umbrella stuffed in his hand, and a ripple appeared in his cold peach blossom eyes.
He looked at Xia Zhining's back with a complicated look.
It is still sunny above my head.
Under the astonished gaze of the crowd, Gu Huaiye opened the big black umbrella.
Holding an umbrella in the hot sun, has Mr. Gu been bewitched by that woman?
After Gu Huaiye finished the call and confirmed that all the roads going up and down the mountain were blocked, he turned around and headed back to Songjian Manor.
It was at this time.
A sudden thunder sounded in the clear sky!
"Boom—"
The sky above really became gloomy in the blink of an eye!
“Clatter—”
The heavy rain poured down in an instant, and the raindrops hit everyone's face without any preparation!
The rainwater poured down like a faucet, free of charge.
Those who had just gotten off the car to watch the excitement were soaked almost instantly.
With water dripping from their jaws, everyone screamed and hid in their cars.
Old Master Gu stood in the heavy rain, soaked all over, his gray hair stuck to his forehead.
He looked at Gu Huaiye's back disappearing in the rain, his hand holding the crutch trembling slightly.
It was the driver, Uncle Li, who urged him and forced him back into the car.
When the guests returned to the main banquet hall of Songjian Manor as if they were fleeing for their lives.
Xia Zhining wrapped herself in a blanket, curled up on the sofa by the window, quietly watching the rain outside the window.
She drank hot floral tea and elegantly enjoyed afternoon tea dessert cakes.
The housekeeper even prepared a place for the little squirrel and sparrow to rest.
The flower basket is padded with a soft blanket, and the little animals love to roll around in it.
The guests who ran in were all wet, as if they had been fished out of the water.
They huddled awkwardly in the corner of the hall, their expensive dresses sticking wetly to their bodies, their makeup smudged like palettes.
The carefully groomed curly hair of the socialites and ladies now hung down like seaweed, dripping water from time to time.
Even the birthday boy, Mr. Gu, had lost his earlier radiant look and was helped in by the driver.
Seeing Xia Zhining so relaxed, even the little squirrel nestled on her shoulder was leisurely chewing pine nuts.
Everyone's face was filled with embarrassment.
"This, Xia Zhining can really understand what animals say?"
"It's so rainy, driving on the winding mountain road would be very dangerous."
"Wait, what about the landslide she mentioned..."
Just as everyone was whispering, Mr. Gu's secretary trotted in.
"Old man!"
"A large-scale landslide has occurred on the winding mountain road!"
"The road down the mountain is blocked. I'm afraid we won't be able to sign Young Master Tian's contract."
Mr. Gu suddenly turned pale.
All the guests' discussions stopped abruptly.
The banquet hall was as if the mute button was pressed.
What does a large-scale landslide mean?
If you're lucky, the vehicle may simply be stuck on the road and unable to move forward.
What’s even more terrifying is that those unfortunate vehicles may be completely buried by the pouring mountain.
Instantly disappeared in the rolling earth and rocks!
Everyone's eyes were involuntarily turned to Xia Zhining, who claimed to be an "animal communicator."
At this moment, the way they looked at Xia Zhining was no longer one of contempt, questioning, or disdain.
Instead, there was shock, awe, and even a hint of fear.
If Xia Zhining hadn't been so firm in stopping the person, someone might have died!
At this time, the girl who was the focus of attention had no other reaction when she heard the news.
He was just teasing the two fat little birds held in the flower basket.
In the banquet hall, the Gu family's servants distributed towels and room cards to the guests.
The guests received their room cards and went to their rooms one after another.
Only then did Xia Zhining realize that Songjian Manor had an entire guest room specifically for entertaining guests!
It’s built just like a five-star hotel!
