CHAPTER 252: CHAPTER 255: WAIT AND SEE

It was afternoon, the sun was bright, and the streets were bustling with people, all with radiant smiles. Gong Shaoyu only felt somewhat out of place here.

He looked around, seeing couples or families walking purposefully, but what about himself? He wandered aimlessly like a headless fly.

At this moment, he saw a building with an advertisement of the Beichen Group playing on repeat, and Gong Shaoyu narrowed his eyes, staring at the advertisement for a long time.

The corners of his lips curved into a cold, hard arc.

Beichen Rui, let’s wait and see...

He continued to walk forward, not knowing how long he had walked, only feeling that there were more and more people around him, seemingly having reached a bustling area.

It was only then that he looked up and noticed that somehow he had already arrived at the city center.

He took out his phone to call Qiao Rui, but suddenly a familiar figure appeared in his vision. He stared in that direction for a long time before stepping towards it.

By the roadside western restaurant, Lan Shan sat by the window, and opposite him sat a man.

The man in front of him was dressed in a blue suit, looking a bit like a young master from a prestigious family. Yet, why did Lan Shan feel a bit uneasy looking at him?

It’s said that men in suits have a lot of charm, especially in bright-colored suits that can better accentuate a man’s aura.

But no matter how Lan Shan looked at it, she felt that the person in front of her was peculiar.

This man wore a blue suit, his hair neatly slicked back to reveal his forehead. His looks were decent, yet, with his peach blossom eyes and this outfit, inexplicably gave a playboy vibe.

Squinting her eyes, she stared at the man for a long time before speaking, "Jiang Yan?"

The man smiled, "It seems you know me."

"Heard of you."

Back at the company, she had heard Jiang Yue mention him more than once. Every time, Jiang Yue would boast in front of colleagues about her brother’s handsomeness, how many admirers he had, and so on.

Lan Shan had heard so much that it was almost annoying, and over time, she became aware of Jiang Yan. However, the Jiang Yan in Lan Shan’s eyes was not as his sister Jiang Yue had described.

In their circle, Jiang Yan was not reputed well. He was seen as uneducated, aimless, and known for hanging out with a bad crowd without striving for progress.

Now, seeing him in person, Lan Shan could confirm that the rumors were true.

Jiang Yan handed her the menu, "What would you like to eat?"

Lan Shan smiled, "Just a salad, I’m on a diet lately." She hadn’t wanted to come in the first place, so she didn’t have much appetite.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan smiled, "You don’t look fat to me, I think you look just right." His eyes scanned Lan Shan’s body with bad intentions, making her feel a bit uncomfortable.

She wrinkled her brow, not wanting to engage with him. She picked up her glass and took a sip.

Seeing her ignoring him, Jiang Yan’s gaze became even more brazen. Lan Shan’s figure was very balanced, without an ounce of excess flesh.

Unhappy at his gaze, she forcefully placed the glass back on the table, startling Jiang Yan and the waiter, who both looked over at her.

Lan Shan was not embarrassed, instead appearing calm, while it put Jiang Yan in an awkward position.

He hurriedly ordered a black pepper steak, a pasta, and a salad, then gestured for the waiter to leave.

For a moment, neither of them spoke again, and this time Jiang Yan wised up a bit, refraining from looking around.
