Chapter 343 You Know Each Other 1 (1/2)

Gu Chu Nian was a small town girl and she had not been working in T City for long. This only meant that she knew almost no one in the city.

The only reason why she was able to be the event coordinator for Elder Tang's birthday party was because a friend of hers, the only friend she had in T City, had introduced her to Tang Bingyi.

Gu Chu Nian was thankful for the opportunity and so, she didn't want to mess it up, but never in a million years had she expected to see Suyin there.

Hearing Gu Chu Nian call out the name Suyin, Lu AnLing tilted her head.

”Did you just say Suyin?” Lu AnLing asked.

Hearing this, Gu Chu Nian turned to Lu AnLing and said, ”Yes... I'm not completely sure, but I think that's Suyin... a girl I knew.”

At first, Gu Chu Nian was unsure... Tang Yiling had gotten plastic surgery. This was not only to get rid of the burns on her face, but she had also gotten it to make herself prettier. However, even if she did this, her base, stayed the same.

”And who is this Suyin to you?” Lu AnLing said nonchalantly as she looked towards Tang Yiling. It was as if she was just trying to make conversation, but in fact, she was curious.

Gu Chu Nian touched her fringe and then she said. ”She's a girl who used to be my neighbour. Years ago, there was a huge fire at her house and her father died and Suyin suddenly disappeared. Many people in my village always assumed that the worst had happened but...”

Gu Chu Nian looked at Tang Yiling who smiled brightly beside Ning Jie as the two interacted with the crowd that surrounded them.

”I'm glad she's safe.” Gu Chu Nian said simply.

A part of Lu AnLing wanted to pry more but she decided against it. Suddenly, she saw that her family and the Kang's had finally arrived and so, she and Kang Jun excused themselves and went to greet their family members.

At the entrance, the Lu family and the Kang family walked through the venue doors. The two almost full families, minus Kang Liang, Qiao Lan, Feng Zhengyi, Wang Tingting and Kang Nianxi, had met each other at Kang Manor and the group had gotten to talking.

Lu Xiaoling and Mo Ruyi spoke a bit but they were fairly unsure how they felt about one another. They both exuded different levels of coldness and that made the other slightly uncomfortable. Though they tried to get along.

It was funny because they showed each other what they made others feel.

The ones who noticed this were their husbands who, at first found it hilarious, but once they entered the venue, the two took their eyes off their wives.

Xu Shen, who carried Lu Yuxi, and Kang Mu became fast friends. In the car, which Lu Xiaoling, Xu Shen, Kang Mu And Mo Ruyi had shared, the two had spoken enthusiastically the whole time.

Due to Xu Shen's personality, he was very likeable and he seldom disliked others and because Kang Mu was so relaxed, Kang Mu and Xu Shen got along well.

The conversation ranged from topic to topic and then, as they were walking into the venue, their conversation landed on the first time Kang Mu had met Lu AnLing.

Hearing about what had happened, Xu Shen had laughed. ”AnLing is like that, she's a good girl though. She doesn't like injustice.”

Kang Mu, who had had time to get over it, nodded, ”I guess it wasn't right how I spoke to my father and her back then...”

”Don't worry about it too much, I'm sure she's forgiven you already.” Xu Shen said nonchalantly as Lu Yuxi, who had already spotted Lu AnLing and Kang Jun, struggled in his embrace.
