“The grapes in my hometown are ripe. I sincerely invite you to come visit. I have a large vineyard at home.” Luan Qing’s eyes lit up. “It’s not far from here.
It’s only an hour…’
Han Binglan shook her head. “Thank you for the invitation. I’ll…”
“Brother Luan, you’re only inviting Sister Le. What about us?” A girl who had been walking behind leaned over. “You can’t favor one over the other.”
Han Binglan frowned slightly and hurriedly took a few steps to walk side by side with Li Hua.
That girl’s name was Wu Ping. She was also a tour guide in the travel agency. She was from another city. When she first came, it was Le Yao who helped her rent a house and move. She even let her stay at her house for a few days before the house was ready. However, she liked Luan Qing. Just because Luan Qing liked Le Yao, she hated her. She secretly framed Le Yao several times and even spread rumors about her.
Le Yao was a very clear-headed person. Although she was kind, she was not stupid. After discovering the other party’s thoughts, she distanced herself from her and treated what she had done for her previously as kindness.
Han Binglan admired Le Yao’s actions. She was not sloppy. It was very good.
Luan Qing’s eyes dimmed for a moment. He glanced at Wu Ping and said, “We’ll see.” Then, he walked straight to the guys’ side.
Wu Ping subconsciously clenched her fists. She glanced at Han Binglan’s back with a venomous gaze.
Soon, everyone entered the hotel. Zhao Nan was already waiting in the hall with her husband, Liu Yimin, and her eight-year-old daughter. When she saw everyone enter, she stood up and greeted them, “Don’t stand on ceremony today. Eat as much as you can.”
“I’m going to the washroom.” At the entrance of the banquet hall, Le Yao told Li Hua and turned to walk to the washroom beside her.
The washroom of a five-star hotel was very big and beautiful, with many cubicles.
As soon as Han Binglan entered the cubicle, she heard someone walking in while chatting.
“I heard that the Crown Group’s heir is here. Is that true? I also heard that he’s going to choose a concubine from us. Is that true?”
“Of course it’s true. I have inside information. Do you want to hear it?”
“Tell me quickly.”
“My aunt’s cousin works at the Crown Corporation’s headquarters. Previously, she mentioned that the heir had been in poor health since he was young. Later, they found a fengshui master and he said that the heir’s birth characters were not suitable for living in the south. He could only find his soulmate in the north…
“Haha, really? Does this mean that I have a chance too?”
“You’re thinking too much. If you have a chance, wouldn’t I have a better chance?”
“Zhong Li, don’t attack me personally. If you say anything else, I’ll fall out with you.”
“I’m telling the truth. You just don’t like to hear it. Forget it. I’m going to the toilet.”
Then the two of them went into the cubicles.
Han Binglan blew at the bangs on her forehead. Any washroom in a public place had always been the birthplace of gossip and the gathering place of news. Forget it. In order not to embarra.s.s the two girls, she should wait for them to leave before going out. It was just that squatting for too long would make her legs go numb. If she had known earlier, she would not have chosen to squat. How comfortable would it be to sit on the toilet instead? She had miscalculated.
Soon, there was the sound of flushing, and then the girls left one after another, but they did not speak again. This was fake sisterhood.
Han Binglan stood up and moved her numb leg. She went out to wash her hands and combed her hair. Le Yao had short hair that reached her ears, which was very convenient to tidy.
She turned around and walked out. However, just as she reached the corridor, a man in a white shirt walked over. The moment they pa.s.sed each other, the other party’s body b.u.mped into Han Binglan.
Han Binglan hurriedly took two steps back. She was about to say something when the next second, the man, who was almost a head taller than her, suddenly fell to the ground.
Han Binglan:
Was he trying to frame her in broad daylight?
She wanted to run away quickly, but seeing the other party’s pale face, she thought that he could be sick. What if something happened… Thinking of this, she hurriedly ran out and shouted, “Someone, someone fainted…”
“Ah Ye.” At this moment, a man in a red shirt ran over. He reached into the pocket of the man on the ground and took out a small bottle. He poured out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth. Then, he looked up and glared at Han Binglan. “If anything happens to Ah Ye, compensate his life with yours.”
“I…” What Han Binglan wanted to defend herself. It had nothing to do with her. The other party clearly b.u.mped into her first, okay?
At this moment, the unconscious man called Ah Ye heaved a sigh of relief and opened his eyes.
“Ah Ye, you’re finally awake. You scared me,” the man in the red shirt exclaimed.
Han Ye looked up at Han Binglan. At that moment, he frowned slightly and pressed his hand on his heart, as if he was feeling a little uncomfortable.
Han Binglan also looked over and couldn’t help but sigh in her heart. This man was really good-looking. Moreover, his eyes seemed to be light blue and his facial features were very sharp. He should be a mixed-blood. With his looks, he could compete with Nangong Jue.
“Ah Ye, this woman is the culprit, right? She was the one who knocked you down, so…” The red-shirted man, Beiming Tang, helped Han Ye up.
“Sir, what nonsense are you talking about?” Han Binglan frowned. “He was the one who b.u.mped into me, okay? There should be surveillance cameras here. We’ll know when we check the surveillance cameras. Besides, he’s nearly 1.9 meters tall, and I’m only 1.65 meters tall. Can I knock him over?” As she spoke, she even placed her hand on the top of her head and gestured. The top of her head was only up to the other party’s chin.
“You have a sharp tongue…” Beiming Tang’s face darkened. “Tell me, what’s your motive?”
“I don’t even know you. What ulterior motives can I have?” Han Binglan rolled her eyes speechlessly. “Call the police and check the surveillance cameras.”
“Le Yao, I’ve been here for so long. I thought you weren’t here yet. Ms. Li said that you came to the toilet. Did you fall into the toilet or what?” At this moment, the tour guide, Zhang Jingjing, walked over. She had a carefree personality and was the closest to Le Yao. She had just finished her job at noon today, so she came straight from home. The two of them didn’t meet in the company.
The corners of Han Binglan’s mouth twitched. This woman’s words were really… However, compared to the socialites she had befriended previously, this style felt a little cute.
Han Ye’s eyes instantly widened. He looked at Han Binglan with a weird gaze. Le Yao spread her hands helplessly at Zhang Jingjing. “I met a scammer.”
This man was dressed in low-key and luxurious brands. The watch on his wrist was a limited edition Patek Philippe watch, and they were all authentic.. He actually came to scam her… Perhaps these branded items were obtained by scamming?
