Capítulo 1370: Chapter 1371: Zhuang Yanyan’s Reaction
The assistant was also puzzled by Ma Pianpian’s repeated questions.
“No.”
“Then what did he tell you?”
“President Qin just asked to pick you up and bring you to the venue. He said once you’re inside, feel free to do what you want. All the food and drinks inside are free.”
As they finished speaking, the two of them had already arrived at the banquet hall.
“Miss Ma, we’ve arrived, I’ll be off now.”
Having completed his task, the assistant was about to turn and leave.
“Wait!” Ma Pianpian called out to him!
“Miss Ma, is there anything else?”
Ma Pianpian couldn’t shake the feeling that sothing was off. She was his companion, how could he just send an assistant to bring her over and then leave her to her own devices?
“Brother Feimo, did he really not say anything else?”
The assistant had no idea what she was trying to insist on, but in the end, he shook his head decisively, “No.”
Ma Pianpian lowered her gaze, lost in thought.
The assistant gave her a glance, said no more, and turned to disappear into the banquet hall.
anwhile, at the Commander Residence.
Feng Jinglei, who had just changed into her gown and put on her high heels, repeatedly checked her reflection in the full-length mirror.
After making sure everything was in place, she picked up her small handbag and was ready to go downstairs.
Just as she reached the door, her phone rang.
She paused, took out her phone from the handbag, and saw it was a call from Zhuang Yanyan.
“Hello, Grandma Qin.”
Rembering it had been a while since they’d seen each other, Feng Jinglei couldn’t help but miss the two elders a bit as well.
“Hello, Jinglei, have you missed Grandma lately?” Zhuang Yanyan’s warm and amiable voice ca from the other end.
Feng Jinglei nodded, “Mm, are you and Grandpa Qin having fun?”
“Yes, yes!” Zhuang Yanyan laughed. Whether they were having fun wasn’t important; the main thing was whether this trip helped strengthen the bond between her and her grandson!
“Jinglei, how about you? Are you and Feimo doing well at ho?”
“We’re doing just fine.” Feng Jinglei smiled, thinking it was just a normal greeting, and didn’t think much of it.
“That’s good. What are you up to?”
“Preparing for the annual gala.”
“Annual gala? What gala?” Zhuang Yanyan, who was far away abroad, seed unaware of the M Group’s 30th-anniversary gala celebration.
Her question puzzled Feng Jinglei a little, causing her to pause montarily.
“It’s the M Group’s 30th-anniversary gala celebration.” She spoke with a slight hesitation, “Grandma Qin, didn’t you ask Qin Feimo to take along?”
Qin Feimo had said that Grandma Qin asked him to, which was why he was taking her as his companion, wasn’t that the case?
On the phone, Zhuang Yanyan was also montarily stunned by her question.
But being quick-witted, she imdiately picked up on her implication.
“Uh, oh, yes, it was who asked that kid to take you along. My mind is getting old, and my mory’s getting worse, oh hehe…”
Zhuang Yanyan laughed heartily, then covered the receiver tightly, turned to Qin Guozhong, and quietly asked, “Is today the M Group’s 30th-anniversary gala celebration?”
Being asked by his wife, Qin Guozhong was also montarily confused. After thinking for a mont, he said, “It seems like it is.”
Zhuang Yanyan, without showing any expression, removed her hand and said to Feng Jinglei on the phone, “Jinglei, you should dress beautifully today, make that rascal’s eyes light up, okay?”
As Zhuang Yanyan spoke, Feng Jinglei instinctively glanced again at her reflection in the mirror.
Although not a stunning beauty, she wasn’t bad either, right?
