Xia Qinghuan found Guan Tao’s frightened look funny, but as her friend, she didn’t forget to remind her, “Guan Tao, there are some things I have to tell you. Although Gao Yang never publicly admitted his relationship with Yu Mengyao, Gao Yang’s family and Yu Mengyao’s family are lifelong friends, and the two families’ corporations are inextricably linked. Therefore, the two of them have been engaged since they were young. It doesn’t sound very reliable, but such marriages between rich and powerful families are very mon in upper-class societies.”
Jian Ai immediately looked at Guan Tao. She had already reminded her about Gao Yang before, but Xia Qinghuan’s words seemed more convincing. After all, Xia Qinghuan was a friend who grew up with Gao Yang, so she had a greater say in his matters and knew him better.
Guan Tao couldn’t help but be silent for a moment when she heard this. Then, she nodded gently and looked at Jian Ai and Xia Qinghuan. “I understand. Don’t worry, things haven’t developed to that stage.”
In other words, Guan Tao felt that her feelings for Gao Yang had yet to reach the extent of just liking him. Just like she and Jian Ai had said, she just felt that Gao Yang was special and might have a good impression of him, but that was all.
Xia Qinghuan and Jian Ai couldn’t help but look at each other. Then, Jian Ai said, “Qinghuan and I don’t want you to be hurt, but if you like him, we will support you.”
“That’s what I mean!” Xia Qinghuan quickly nodded. “Anyway, Gao Yang isn’t married, and he didn’t admit that Yu Mengyao was his girlfriend. Anything is still possible.”
Although her two friends said that, Guan Tao knew very well that she and Gao Yang were not from the same world. Even if Yu Mengyao didn’t exist, the person who would stand beside Gao Yang shouldn’t be her.
At this moment, Lin Yi, Gao Yang, and Yan Tian returned from playing basketball.
Jian Yiyi was sitting in her seat reading a book, but her eyes lit up when she saw Lin Yi enter. She quickly straightened her body and pretended to naturally smooth her hair.
However, Lin Yi didn’t even look at her. As soon as he entered, he saw Jian Ai. He immediately walked forward and asked with concern, “Why didn’t you e in the morning? If you don’t always e to school, when can I finish buying you lunch for a month?”
Jian Ai chuckled. “What’s the hurry? There’s still time. It’s still early for the holidays.”
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows and nodded with a smile. He looked handsome and a bit like a gangster. Then, he seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly said, “Oh, right. It’s my birthday this Saturday. I’ve booked a villa at Baiyun Mountain Hot Spring. Let’s go there together?”
“Yes, yes. It’s Lin Yi’s birthday on Saturday. Shall we go to Baiyun Mountain to have fun? It’s so fortable soaking in the hot spring,” Xia Qinghuan quickly said.
Gao Yang and Yan Tian also looked at Jian Ai. Because of Lin Yi’s change in attitude towards Jian Ai, and because Xia Qinghuan and Jian Ai had bee best friends, the two of them had tacitly agreed that Jian Ai was a member of their group.
Seeing that they were all staring at her, Jian Ai didn’t think too much about it. Just as she was about to agree, she suddenly remembered that she would be going to the land auction with Bai Zhou on Saturday.
Jian Ai looked at Lin Yi and said, “I have something on Saturday morning. I have an appointment with a friend.”
“It’s okay. We’ll go there at night. Baiyun Mountain Hot Spring operates twenty-four hours. We can soak in it on Saturday night and stay on the mountain for a night. We can still climb the mountain on Sunday and e back on Sunday afternoon.” When Lin Yi heard that Jian Ai had something on during the day, he immediately changed the original plan without thinking.
At this moment, Jian Yiyi, who had been eavesdropping on Lin Yi, suddenly walked forward and said with an innocent smile, “Are you going to Baiyun Mountain Hot Spring? I’ll take you there. My family owns it.”
