After Gu Nuan got out of the car, Zang Xiaolian led her toward the elevator.
As they walked, just when they were about to see the elevator, Zang Xiaolian suddenly stopped, intentionally extending his arm to block Gu Nuan’s figure.
Gu Nuan only needed a slight thought to know there must be acquaintances ahead.
No. She was with Zang Xiaolian now, not with him, so there was basically no need to go to such serious lengths, hiding as if stealing chickens and dogs.
It seemed they were her acquaintances.
Her family members were mostly at home and hardly ever came out.
The acquaintances that Zang Xiaolian knew about were probably those who had urged her to collaborate with Xiao Yebai.
Gu Nuan carefully looked over Zang Xiaolian’s shoulder, and from a distance, she saw two women and a man.
Mrs. Wa wore a rich purple dress that caught Gu Nuan’s eye. She remembered the last conversation she had with Mrs. Wa; she seemed to have worn a similar style. Maybe it was the same brand.
Perhaps sensing her realization, Zang Xiaolian turned around and walked with her behind a pillar in the parking lot to call Xiao Yebai and report the sudden situation.
Seeing this, Gu Nuan placed a hand on his arm that was about to make the call.
Zang Xiaolian asked, "Sister-in-law?"
"Why tell him? It’s all in the past. I have long been strangers with these people," Gu Nuan said.
Zang Xiaolian blinked, seemingly surprised by the calmness, or more precisely, the indifference on her face at this moment.
He only knew that she and that man had dated for many years, ten years. Didn’t she feel any pain for a ten-year-long relationship?
Gu Nuan just carefully watched ahead, observing a young woman holding Mrs. Wa’s hand. From her back, she really resembled the person Su Yixia had mentioned.
Whether it was her needed further confirmation due to the distance. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝓷𝓮𝓽
Zang Xiaolian felt relieved that her gaze didn’t settle on Wa Zicong.
The three people ahead indeed included Wa’s mother and son.
Wa Zicong stood behind the two women, holding his mother’s bag. They had just visited the nearby Department Store to buy some things for Mrs. Wa.
They had bought quite a few items, most of which were stored in the car. Only this new bag, Mrs. Wa wanted to try it out immediately, so she replaced the old one on the spot.
Wa Zicong couldn’t help but wonder how many bags his mother had changed in the last few days.
They say women love buying bags, and this saying was not wrong at all. But, his mother, in the past, had never changed bags much, clinging to a plain canvas tote for years, reluctant to replace it. So now that they had money, Mrs. Wa wanted to enjoy herself, which as a son, he could understand.
Wa Zicong pondered if she, like his mother, would suddenly become wealthy, would she also start shopping crazily? Essentially, she was even more frugal than his mother.
"Zicong, Shanshan is asking you something, why aren’t you responding?" Mrs. Wa turned her head and glanced disapprovingly at her son.
Wa Zicong jolted back to reality and smiled at the two women: "I was just thinking about what dishes to recommend to the ladies."
"Huh?" Mrs. Wa seemed shocked, wondering when her son became so familiar with Dihao’s high-end restaurant as if he were a regular, she skeptically looked at him, "What would you know? I think you’d better ask Yishan for advice."
This should have made Lin Yishan blush. However, Lin Yishan just hooked the corner of her mouth mysteriously: "Mom, you have no idea, Zicong has been here more times than I have. He’s definitely more familiar with this place than I am, I can guarantee that."
