C153 Hongmen Feast

Shangguan Lingwan woke up early the next morning. However, when she walked down the stairs, she saw her brother sitting at the dining table. There were neatly arranged breakfast on the table.

"Why are you so early?" Shangguan Lingwan blinked and pulled a stool to sit down. She then took a piece of hot bread and applied jam on it. "Where is Xiao Yan?"

"She's still resting." Shangguan Shaoze did not raise his head as he spoke. He only flipped through the newspaper in his hand.

"Is Xiao Yan alright?" Shangguan Lingwan asked.

"She's fine."

She nodded in relief and started to chew the bread. "But I'm a little curious. Kess and Mr. Jin knew about the Shangguan family. How could they not know about the Soong family, which was as famous as the Shangguan family?"

Shangguan Shaoze looked up lazily and looked at his sister with pity. "Stupid."

"You are the stupid one!"

"Xiao Yan came to America to hide her identity. According to her words, Xiao Yan came to America to hide her identity. She wanted to use her strength to conquer everyone, not her family background." He put down the newspaper, probably thinking about the scene yesterday. His tone was still somewhat anxious, "She did indeed do it, but there are always some people who don't respect art."

Shangguan Lingwan somewhat understood Soong Yan's thoughts. Back when she was with Liu Yuxuan, it was also to conceal her identity, in order to prove that Liu Yuxuan was the person who loved her. It was not money or power. However, reality slapped her hard on the face.

"Humph, humph, if Xiao Yan revealed her identity, wouldn't those people be scared to death?"

"The Soong family is different from the Shangguan family. The males in the family are created through medical means. But they don't like business. The Soong family was never a business, and it wasn't to the point of scaring merchants to death in America. However, in the art world and the medical world, you can stamp your feet." Shangguan Shaoze mercilessly mocked Shangguan Lingwan, "If you have time to talk nonsense here, you might as well go to school. Otherwise, you will be late."

"Got it!" Shangguan Lingwan snorted a few times, thinking that this man had Xiao Yan and forgot about his sister. Then he ate his breakfast in two or three bites and went out with his bag.

When he came to school, he did not meet Vivian as he wished. He heard from the students that they went to compete elsewhere.

This way, Shangguan Lingwan undoubtedly lacked a companion in school. After a morning of classes, she was wondering if she should go and find Soong Yan to solve the lunch problem. She was called back to her senses by a student. "Student Shangguan, there is a woman outside looking for you."

"Hm?" Shangguan Lingwan stood up and thanked the student before walking to the classroom door.

When she saw the person in front of her, she was stunned. "It's you?"

"Miss Shangguan, long time no see." Ling Ruolan smiled slightly. She did not have the pitiful look from yesterday at all. She had a reserved and elegant look.

"We just met yesterday." Shangguan Lingwan did not hesitate to mention what happened yesterday.

Sure enough, Ling Ruolan's face stiffened for a moment, but she quickly restrained it. "Sorry, it is my fault."

"What are you doing here?" Shangguan Lingwan was not interested in dealing with this woman.

"I want to have lunch with you." Ling Ruolan smiled, "I know that Miss Vivian is competing outside, so I think that Miss Shangguan should not have anyone to accompany her anymore, right? Since that is the case, she should have time to accompany me for lunch, right?"

Shangguan Lingwan understood this logic very well since she did not come to the Treasure Hall for no reason. But seeing Ling Ruolan's smile, as the saying goes, one does not hit a smiling person. Shangguan Lingwan naturally would not reject him without giving him face," What do you want to say? "

"It's just a meal." Ling Ruolan said, "Furthermore, I want to discuss some interesting things with Miss Shangguan. I believe that Miss Shangguan will definitely be very happy to hear it."

She had a look of determination and Shangguan Lingwan was too lazy to argue with her, "Okay."

Picking up the bag, she left the school with Ling Ruolan.

But Shangguan Lingwan still had foresight and opened the GPS to prevent anything unexpected from happening. But she miscalculated because Ling Ruolan was rarely obedient today. She did not do anything and only brought her to a Huaxia cuisine store.

She opened a private room and ordered the dishes. The two sat opposite each other.

"Miss Shangguan, don't worry. Don't worry. I won't do anything. And I won't record what we said as a threat." Ling Ruolan said and placed her bag on the table. She also flipped her clothes to show that she did not have anything on her.

"Then, Miss Ling should get straight to the point. There is no need to beat around the bush."

"Miss Shangguan, don't be anxious." Ling Ruolan was not in a hurry. She quietly waited for the waiter to bring all the dishes that she had ordered and closed the door before speaking again, "I heard that Miss Shangguan has a boyfriend?"

"You are not very clear that I do not have a boyfriend?" Shangguan Lingwan smiled. It was just that she looked calm but her heart still tightened.

"Miss Shangguan is so smart. She naturally knows that the boyfriend I am talking about is not that so-called boyfriend, but, he..." Ling Ruolan took out a photo and pushed it in front of Shangguan Lingwan.

The picture was of Liu Yuxuan. It had been a long time since she saw Liu Yuxuan's face, so Shangguan Lingwan was a little shocked. But she quickly recovered her senses and there was a trace of vigilance between her brows, "What do you want to do?"

"I don't mean to do anything. Miss Shangguan, please don't be nervous." Ling Ruolan said, "I am just curious about the relationship between the two of you."

"What is our relationship? I think Miss Ling has already investigated it very clearly, right?" Shangguan Lingwan's fingertips lightly brushed over the table, "I said before that Miss Ling doesn't need to beat around the bush. Just say it directly."

"Miss Shangguan is indeed a straightforward person!" Ling Ruolan lightly laughed, "I know that the two of you are former boyfriend and girlfriend, but Miss Shangguan, do you know that your so-called ex-boyfriend has already arrived in the capital?"

Shangguan Lingwan's pupils shrank, "You did it?"

"Miss Shangguan is indeed a smart person." Ling Ruolan was rather emotional. "However, I only sent him to the capital. I did not do anything. But what exactly did this man do? I wonder if Miss Shangguan wants to know? "

" Not interested. " Shangguan Lingwan coldly snorted and pretended to stand up.

"Miss Shangguan, don't be anxious. You are so anxious. Could it be that you have a guilty conscience?" Ling Ruolan was calm, "I don't know if Miss Shangguan still has feelings for this ex-boyfriend, but I was still in the capital not long ago. I know everything about the capital. If Miss Shangguan has any questions, just ask me. There is no need to go back and find your brother to investigate and save time."

Shangguan Lingwan restrained herself, "Then, I will have to trouble Miss Ling."
