Then she introduced Xiao Jinglan and the others to the boys, "Well, these are my good sisters in Imperial Capital. This is Yu Qingyan, the movie queen and beauty, Jin Yinyin. You have seen her in my school before, but you have never met her face to face."

"Then this person is the sister I mentioned to you before, the one who secretly went abroad without telling us, Xiao Jinglan."

Xiao Jinglan nodded at the boy when he was mentioned, then interrupted him unhappily, "What do you mean by secretly? I just didn't have time to say hello to you guys!"

"Humph! What else can I say? Even if I didn't make it in time, I could always send a message or make a phone call later. There's nothing else!" Yin Chuxue pouted as she spoke, "If Yanyan hadn't asked your dad, we wouldn't have known you were going abroad!"

"I..." Xiao Jinglan thought of the time when he was abroad and couldn't refute her words. His voice dropped a little, "...My fault."

Yin Chuxue's emotions came and went quickly. Seeing this, she quickly comforted Xiao Jinglan and said magnanimously, "Forget it! Now that I'm back, I won't bother with you anymore!"

"Come on, let's have a drink to celebrate your return home!" Yin Chuxue said as she picked up the bottle and prepared to open it.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuhan, who was beside her, quickly took the bottle from her hand, opened it with a wine opener, and then poured wine into the glasses of several people with his eyes lowered.

Very well-behaved.

Yin Chuxue looked at him pouring the wine and curved her eyebrows. She smiled wantonly and exclaimed in a happy tone, "Hey, look at how good my brother is."

"Yes, yes, you are really lucky!" Jin Yiyin replied with a smile, looking joking.

Yin Chuxue glared at her in dissatisfaction and snorted.

"Okay, stop messing around, and let's have a drink." Yu Qingyan looked at these two funny guys and raised the corners of her lips, smiling slyly, with a bit of natural charm between her eyebrows, teasing them without knowing it.

He raised the glass that had just been filled with wine.

When the boy finished pouring the wine, Xiao Jinglan stretched out his hand to stop him, indicating that he didn't need it.

She wanted to switch to a drink.

Ji Nianyin blinked at her actions, "Hey, Lanlan, don't you drink?"

"I don't drink much." Xiao Jinglan explained.

She has only drank a few times since she was a child.

After all, her drinking habits...

"She can't drink much." Yu Qingyan interjected and exposed her shortcomings.

Yin Chuxue looked over when she heard the voice, frowned in dissatisfaction, and pursed her lips to complain, "We are all here to welcome you back. What's the point if we don't drink? Anyway, we are all here. If you get drunk, we will send you back. We should give you some face as sisters, right?"

Yu Qingyan glanced at Yin Chuxue who was frowning beside her, then turned to look at Xiao Jinglan, and said, "Lanlan, there's no one else here today, so it's okay to drink a little. I'll take you home later."

Seeing this, Ji Nianyin also advised, "That's right, why don't you drink with the sisters, Lanlan?"

Xiao Jinglan looked at the three pairs of bright and expectant eyes, his thick eyelashes trembled twice, and he nodded in compromise, with a somewhat helpless tone, "Okay."

Yin Chuxue's mood suddenly turned from gloomy to cheerful, and she asked Jiang Yuhan to pour some wine, "Xiaohan, quickly pour some wine for Lanlan."

Jiang Yuhan picked up the bottle and poured the wine.

Then, everyone followed Yu Qingyan and raised their glasses.

A glass of wine.

As soon as he finished drinking, Xiao Jinglan came to Yu Qingyan and said, "You have to send me back later. I can't drink well."

"Okay." Yu Qingyan looked at the two faint blushes on Xiao Jinglan's cheeks, her tone gentle and doting, with a bit of coaxing, "I'm here, you can drink as much as you want today!"

"What are you two whispering about? Come on, drink more!" Yin Chuxue suddenly leaned her face closer, with a probing look in her eyes.

Ji Nianyin also looked at the two of them curiously.

"Nothing, come on, let's drink together." Yu Qingyan pulled away and picked up the wine glass in front of him, "Let's drink and have fun."

Sunset

Near night

A high-end, luxurious black sedan was driving on the quiet winding mountain road, passing through the road quickly, raising a cloud of dust.

The huge manor gate opened to welcome the return of the male owner.

Chu Zhao slowly parked the car in front of the main courtyard villa and got out to open the door for the man.

Uncle Li had been waiting on the side and came over when he saw this.

"Is she back?" Ling Yisheng asked Uncle Li who was about to park the car as soon as he got out of the car.

"Master, the young mistress hasn't come back yet." Uncle Li paused and replied respectfully.

"When did you leave?" Hearing the answer, the man frowned in dissatisfaction, pursed his thin lips, and his voice became a little colder.

Chu Zhao, who was standing beside him, clearly felt the chill spreading from his young master's body.

"Not long after you left, probably around... around nine in the morning."

Ling Yisheng waved his hand to indicate that he understood, and then walked into the hall.

Uncle Li parked the car in the garage.

Chu Zhao followed Ling Yisheng into the door.

The man sat on the sofa in the hall, glanced at his watch, and tapped the armrest twice with his fingertips.

Half past five.

It's still early.

"Sit down, and tell me about their recent movements."

Upon hearing this, Chu Zhao sat down and began to report his work.

They were supposed to have a meeting tonight, but the young master pushed it to tomorrow, and even told him to drive back quickly, as if he was afraid that the young lady would wait for too long.

Now that I'm back and haven't seen anyone, I've started working overtime again.

after an hour

Ling Yisheng finished his work, looked at his watch, and frowned.

He took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

"Hello?" It was a soft and innocent voice.

"Who is it?" The girl tilted her head, answering the phone with one hand and holding a card with the other.

The phone was accompanied by loud music and chaotic conversations.

Extremely confusing.

Ling Yisheng suppressed his anger, stared at the coffee table in front of him calmly, and said in a low and cold voice, "Where are you?"

Xiao Jinglan was drunk, and his voice was more delicate and soft than before, with a natural and soft charm that was very attractive.

"Um... who are you? I don't want to tell you!"

Xiao Jinglan was unhappy that the person on the other end of the phone did not reveal his identity, and his tone was a little unhappy.

"Have you been drinking?" Hearing the sweet and innocent voice of the girl coming from the other end of the phone, the blood in his body boiled for a moment, and then his eyes narrowed and he asked in a serious tone.

"......Hmm." Xiao Jinglan glanced at the screen of his mobile phone and tilted his head, thinking about something.

For a long while, there was no movement.

Yin Chuxue on the side suddenly called out to her, "Lanlan, who are you talking to on the phone? It's your turn to play a card!"

"Ah! Oh... let me take a look." Xiao Jinglan came back to his senses, put his phone aside casually, turned on the speakerphone, then picked up a few cards in his hand and played them.
