Chapter 57: Fraud
Bai Ran shivered at this gaze. She wanted to confirm it, but all she saw was Hu Wan’s friendly smile.
She wondered if she had seen it wrongly.
Jiang Yun was not to be outdone. He spread a napkin and picked up some food for Bai Ran.
“Ran Ran, I know you like to eat fish. Come, this restaurant is quite authentic.” Jiang Yun picked up a piece of fish for Bai Ran.
Chen Chen followed closely behind. Soon, the two plates were piled high. The owners of the plates only had awkward expressions on their faces, while the other’s faces were almost twisted.
Lan Xin held her chin and looked at the four people who were acting strangely. She did not even move her chopsticks.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door and walked in.
“Hello, everyone.” Ye Lin and Han Xu greeted everyone.
“Chen Chen, Ye Lin and I are looking for you. Why haven’t you gone over yet?” Han Xu ran to Chen Chen.
“We’ll eat here. Have a seat too. Order whatever you want to eat. I’ll pay the bill later.” Chen Chen glanced at Jiang Yun and motioned for them to sit down. He did not care that Jiang Yun and the others were the owners of the private room in the beginning.
Lan Xin’s gaze never shifted away from Ye Lin as she silently remembered his name.
“Then I won’t stand on ceremony!”
Han Xu sat beside Chen Chen. Ye Lin sat down with Han Xu, beside Lan Xin.
He actually sat beside her? Lan Xin’s heart instantly pounded.
Ye Lin glanced at the people at the table and roughly understood what was going on. He was not in the mood to care about the hostility between the four of them. He could not control it well. Anyway, Chen Chen was also stubborn.
He did not recognize this charming little sister in front of him, but he felt like he had seen her somewhere before.
Coincidentally, they were beside each other. He greeted her directly and said, “Little sister, have I seen you before?”
Then, he said, “I’m sorry. I’m not trying to hit on you. I just find you a little familiar. If I accidentally disturb you, please forgive me.”
“Don’t you remember what occasion you met me at all?” Lan Xin pouted. The joy from earlier was completely gone, and her eyes were a little sad.
When Ye Lin opened the door and entered, Lan Xin’s eyes had already lit up.
The meal had been completely ruined by the two uninvited guests. Unexpectedly, it even brought an unexpected surprise. She had not come in vain today!
But the other party did not remember her?
“Aiyo, aiyo. How did I bully you, little sister? Why are you still unhappy?” Ye Lin coaxed and scratched his head. He really could not remember what occasion it was.
“You were on Hongkou Road last time. Do you remember?” Lan Xin reminded him and looked at Ye Lin expectantly.
“Sigh, now that you mention it, I have an impression of you.” Ye Lin patted his head. “You’re the little sister who was framed last time.”
“Yes, yes. I haven’t had the chance to thank you properly.” Lan Xin looked at Ye Lin gratefully. Her eyes were filled with love as her thoughts returned to a few days ago.
That day was also on Lan Xin’s way to work. The car was driving well when a figure suddenly flashed past her eyes. Lan Xin was so frightened that she slammed the brakes. Her body rushed forward ruthlessly, and her head was a little dizzy.
Lan Xin stopped the car and heard a person shouting in front.
She got out of the car to check. She saw that the person was an old man, about fifty or sixty years old. He was lying on the ground, hugging a leg and crying. His leg was already red and swollen.
However, Lan Xin was very sure that she had braked very timely. It was basically impossible for her to really hit this person.
It was the morning rush hour. There were many people and cars on the road, and a few people were already crowding around.
“How did you drive, little girl?! You didn’t even look at the road. You almost knocked me down!” the old man roared loudly. He raised his pants again and did not look weak at all.
“I didn’t. I just drove normally. I don’t even know how you suddenly jumped in front of my car!” Lan Xin was really confused. She had heard of some scam a long time ago, but she had not expected to see it today.
