Xu Pei’s gaze fell on Luo Xiaoqian, with a slight darkening in her eyes, but her expression remained unchanged; she imdiately ca over with a smile, "Co on, Xiaoqian, let introduce you, all these people are childhood friends (Note: Beijing dialect, refers to friends who have been playing together since childhood) of and Zimo."
"Xiaoqian!" Huangfu Ruo put down the iPad in her hands and ca up to greet her with a face full of joy, grabbing Luo Xiaoqian’s arm and kissing her on the cheek, "It’s great, Zimo finally decided to let you out, ho, ho, ho, Brother Yizhou, Sister Tongya... hurry, hurry, you have to honour the bet..."
Shen Yizhou and Tong Ya exchanged glances before each took out their wallets, extracted all the cash inside, and handed it over to Huangfu Ruo’s outstretched palm.
"Thanks a lot!" Huangfu Ruo proudly flaunted the thick stack of cash in her hand to Qin Lan, who, seeing the happy smile on her face, also raised a smile.
Of course, they weren’t short on money; Qin Lan’s acting fees had long been counted in eight figures, and it was best when his woman was happy.
The calling Huangfu Ao had also finished his phone call by now and walked over, seeing his sister’s excited face and curiously asked, "Xiao Ruo, what are you playing now?"
"On the way here, I bet with Brother Yizhou and Sister Tongya that if Brother Zimo brought Xiaoqian to the event today, I’d win!" Huangfu Ruo waved the banknotes in her hand, "Now, I’ve won!"
"Mr. Huangfu, it’s been a long ti." Luo Xiaoqian greeted Huangfu Ao with a polite smile.
The last ti, during the incident in Zhengding, Hebei, if it had not been for Huangfu Ao’s tily rescue, she might have been ruined, so Luo Xiaoqian naturally felt a great deal of gratitude toward Huangfu Ao.
"You two... know each other?!" Xu Pei was clearly surprised.
She had thought that Luo Xiaoqian hadn’t even t Leng Zirui, so naturally, she would be even less likely to be familiar with Leng Zimo’s circle of friends. But the outco before her eyes clearly showed that she had thought wrong again.
"t a few tis." Luo Xiaoqian’s face turned slightly unnatural; after all, the last incident in Zhengding was not an ordinary affair, and Zimo had killed soone because of her. Although things were now settled, she still felt a bit worried whenever she thought about it.
Xu Xia was quite frank and had t people like Tong Ya before, so having seen so many familiar faces, her initial shock and panic from facing Leng Zimo had completely faded. Standing alongside Luo Xiaoqian, she smiled and greeted everyone.
"Hello everyone!"
"Oh, let introduce, this is my good friend Xu Xia." Luo Xiaoqian ca back to her senses, "Xu Xia, this lady here is our new music director at Emperor View, Miss Xu Pei, who is in charge of my new album this ti."
"Director Xu, it’s a pleasure to et you!" Xu Xia extended her hand to Xu Pei, politely.
"Xu Xia, Xu Pei?!" Huangfu Ruo imdiately laughed from the side, "Your nas sound like you could be sisters."
"Really, I hadn’t noticed until you ntioned it." Xu Xia also laughed, "It seems like Xiaoqian has a connection with people surnad Xu, and since Xu isn’t a common surna, maybe we’re actually related. Sister Xu Pei, we should definitely have a good drink later."
"Sure!" Xu Pei replied politely.
"Everybody please take a seat." Zimo said with a smile, and everyone sat back down at the table.
Luo Xiaoqian naturally took the empty seat to the left of Leng Zimo, and Xu Pei moved to the position on Zimo’s right. However, Xu Xia had already taken the seat next to Luo Xiaoqian and was patting the chair beside her, inviting warmly.
