When she got home from work, she saw a few expensive cars at the entrance of the Wang family's residence. Obviously, guests from the Wang family had arrived. As expected, before she reached the entrance of the living room, she heard the laughter in the living room.
Old man Wang was sitting on the sofa facing the door. His daughter, Wang Qianyun, was sitting on the sofa to his left. Next to Wang Qianyun was Bai Bingbing.
Lin Yuexian and her daughter sat on the other sofa as they accompanied them. Everyone was smiling, and they seemed to be very happy when they chatted with each other.
”The young miss is back!” Following the servant's report, everyone in the living room turned to look at Mo Wan.
”Xi Key, come to grandpa's side!” The old man had a gentle smile on his face. Mo Wan paused for a moment and walked towards the old man.
The old man very warmly invited Mo Wan to sit beside him, then pointed at the man beside him and introduced him, ”This is your Cousin Jie, you should still have an impression of him, right?”
Mo Yu understood what the old man meant when he said this. This should be Bai Bing's brother, Bai Jie. Bai Jie had been operating the Bai family's company overseas all this time, so why did he suddenly come back? She had a smile on her face as she thought, ”Hello, Cousin!”
Bai Jie looked at Mo Wan with a smile, ”Cousin Xi Kai is getting more and more beautiful.”
This was originally a very common greeting, but it didn't feel good in Mo Wan's ears because Bai Jie was looking at her differently. To put it harshly, it sounded like he was sizing her up.
Seeing that Bai Jie was staring at Mo Wan, Wang Qianyun lightly coughed, ”Dad, it's getting late, let the Key go up and change, let's go to the restaurant.”
”You and them go to the restaurant first, and we'll go there later.” Elder Wang replied.
As soon as Old Master Wang finished speaking, Mo Wan felt as though he had been stabbed by knives. He didn't even need to look to know who was glaring at her. Wang Manli must have been jealous because of Old Master Wang's intimacy with her.
Even though the old man's change in attitude towards her had improved her status, Mo Wan wasn't excited at all. The old man was famous for his intelligence, so he wouldn't treat her well for no reason. She always felt that the old man was hiding something from her.
When Mo Wan finished changing and went downstairs, the old man asked her to share a car with him. The driver of the car was not the Wang family's driver, but Bai Jie.
All along the way, Bai Jie was looking for a topic to talk to Mo Wan, and Old Master would interrupt from time to time. Although Mo Wan was talking to them with a smile on his face, he still felt uneasy.
The old man always drove using a special driver when he was out. Tonight, the young master of the Bai Clan personally driving made Mo Wan feel that something was unusual.
When the car stopped in front of the restaurant, Mo Wan was surprised to see Huo Qingfeng. He arrived at the restaurant a step earlier than them. When he saw the old man alighting from the car, he walked over to greet him and entered the restaurant with them.
Huo Qingfeng and Bai Jie seemed to be very familiar with each other. Huo Qingfeng was talking to Mo Wan as if nothing had happened. Although he was smiling, Mo Wan could feel the mockery in Huo Qingfeng's smile.
Mo Wan did not forget the look of defeat in Huo Qingfeng's eyes when they separated. And now, this disappointment did not show even a hint of it on his face. Although he knew that Huo Qingfeng was just a disguised expert, Mo Wan still felt that something was amiss.
After spending a few years with Huo Qingfeng, she was already very familiar with his habits. His expression made her realize that there was definitely something fishy going on at dinner tonight.
The first thing was that during dinner time, her seat was next to the old man. In the past, when the Wang family gathered for dinner, the old man only had his daughter Wang Qianyun and son Wang Zhiguo by his side, but today, it had become her and Bai Jie.
