Chapter 258
Chapter 258
When Qin Shi returned to the villa, the last ray of light in the sky was about to disappear.
He walked towards the room.
He knew very well that he had to explain his relationship with Bai Xiaoyu to Yan Lan, otherwise this thorn would always stand between them.
Finally reaching the door of the room, he took a deep breath and slowly pushed it open.
The room was quiet, without a sound.
His eyes quickly swept across every corner of the room, but he did not see Yan Lan.
He frowned slightly and asked the housekeeper, and learned that Yan Lan had not returned yet.
He contacted Zhao Nan, who said that after Yan Lan left the police station, she went to Oriental Hospital to find Han Yan.
Because he invested in Oriental Hospital, he added Han Yan's WeChat. When he opened WeChat and was about to send a message to Han Yan to ask about Yan Lan's situation, he saw that Han Yan had just posted a circle of friends.
"High school reunion, Grand Hyatt Hotel, see you there."
His eyes were fixed on those words, revealing a hint of doubt and worry.
"High school reunion?"
He muttered to himself, "Looks like Yan Lan is also attending the high school reunion."
Suddenly, he thought of Liu Jinnian, Yan Lan's former high school classmate. His heart tightened and his brows furrowed even tighter.
Outside the Grand Hyatt Hotel, Yan Lan and Han Yan got out of the car together.
Yan Lan had a helpless look on her face and she said softly,
"I told you I didn't want to attend the class reunion, but you insisted I come."
Today's experience made her feel bad. She originally wanted to find Han Yan to complain, but she didn't know that tonight was her high school reunion.
She had been blocking messages in the group, so she had no idea about this.
Han Yan held Yan Lan's arm with an angry look on his face.
"Lanlan, you should at least show up.
That Zhao Nana has been saying a lot of bad things about you behind your back, saying that you were pretending to be a wealthy wife because Liu Jinnian dumped you.
You are afraid of being exposed, so you definitely don't dare to attend this class reunion.
If you really don't come, she won't know what kind of rumors will spread and what will happen."
As one of the organizers of the class reunion, Han Yan was furious when she heard those rumors.
No matter what, she would bring Yan Lan here tonight to argue with Zhao Nana and vent her anger.
As soon as the two walked into the hotel, they saw a black business car slowly stop. Although the car was domestically produced, its appearance was not ostentatious.
But its license plate is a special one, and it is obvious that it is a special car for high-ranking government officials.
The car door opened and Liu Jinnian walked out with an upright posture. He was wearing a well-tailored suit, which made him look particularly handsome.
Immediately afterwards, Yan Xue got out of the car holding Liu Jinnian's arm.
She had on delicate makeup, and her eyes showed pride and confidence. The designer dress she wore outlined her curvy figure, which looked sparkling under the light.
Yan Xue's face was filled with a happy smile. She held Liu Jinnian's arm affectionately and tightly. She was secretly proud of herself and felt that she was really lucky now.
My father had just been promoted, and my relationship with Liu Jinnian was progressing smoothly. Everything was so beautiful.
"Xiaoxue, you really don't have to come to this class reunion tonight.
I just joined the Qin family and have a lot of things to do. I will show my face once and then leave."
Liu Jinnian frowned slightly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
In fact, he didn't want to attend this class reunion, but Zhao Nana, one of the organizers, kept calling and inviting him enthusiastically. He couldn't refuse her kindness, so he reluctantly agreed.
Unexpectedly, after hearing about it, Yan Xue insisted on coming along.
Yan Xue raised her head, smiling sweetly, but a subtle cunning glint flashed in her eyes.
"I want to meet your high school classmate, too.
When we have a wedding in the future, it would be helpful to get to know them in advance so that it would be easier to invite them.”
In fact, she had secretly checked Liu Jinnian's mobile phone before and found that several female high school classmates always expressed their affection for Liu Jinnian. She didn't want to give those people any chance, so she had to follow them.
As she spoke, Yan Xue held Liu Jinnian's arm a little tighter, with a confident smile on her face, and the two walked into the hotel together.
Tonight’s class reunion is held in the beautifully decorated Guose Hall.
As soon as Yan Lan and Han Yan walked to the door of the hall, they saw Zhao Nana and several female classmates who had dressed up carefully. They were all looking gorgeous and craning their necks to look outside.
Among them, Zhao Nana is the most eye-catching.
She was wearing a tight red dress that perfectly outlined her figure. She had a sparkling diamond necklace on her neck and a designer bag in her hand. She exuded an air of deliberate ostentation.
She had come out specifically to wait for Liu Jinnian. After making inquiries from many sources, she finally found out that Liu Jinnian had resigned and gone to Qin Group to work as an assistant to the chairman, and had also broken up with Yan Lan.
Zhao Nana had always admired Liu Jinnian, so naturally she didn't want to miss this rare opportunity.
Unexpectedly, before Liu Jinnian came, he saw Yan Lan first.
"Hey, isn't this an old classmate? You came here alone? Why didn't you bring your husband with you?
Why do you look so unhappy?
Did you have a fight with your husband?
And what's with your outfit? You don't have any brand name clothes on.
Life is not easy for a young lady from a wealthy family. Are you going to end up being abandoned by a wealthy family without realizing it?"
Zhao Nana had a malicious smile on her face and looked Yan Lan up and down as she spoke.
The female classmates next to her also started whispering, looking at Yan Lan with mocking eyes.
When Zhao Nana saw Yan Lan's face, which was not made up but as fresh and beautiful as a lotus flower emerging from the water, a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.
But soon, her eyes fell on Yan Lan's clothes.
Yan Lan was wearing a simple and plain dress without any brand logo. She was carrying an ordinary eco-friendly bag in her hand. There were no expensive bags or jewelry to be seen.
In Zhao Nana's opinion, to say that Yan Lan is a rich family's young lady is more like saying that she is an abandoned woman of a rich family.
Yan Lan faced Zhao Nana's ridicule with a calm expression. She just frowned slightly and did not respond immediately.
Han Yan was so angry that her face turned red. Just as she was about to open her mouth to refute, Yan Lan gently pulled the corner of her clothes, signaling her not to be impulsive.
Yan Lan said with a smile,
“It’s true that life is not easy for wealthy families.
However, no matter how bad it is, it should be better than the current Zhao family."
The smile on Zhao Nana's face froze instantly.
Because of her father's poor investments, the Zhao family is already going through bankruptcy procedures, but this matter is kept very secret and has not been announced to the public. None of her close friends know about it.
How could Yan Lan know!
