So when Wenyan arrived at her destination, there was someone waiting to park her car for her, and service staff stood at the door to eagerly welcome her.

“Hello, are you Miss Yan?”

Miss Yan?

Wenyan was a bit uncertain whether this title referred to herself or not.

But she guessed that this must have been Gu Xiran’s arrangement.

She looked at the service staff and explained, “I’m here to meet my friend; his surname is Gu, he has a reservation for tonight.”

“Then you’re definitely in the right place.” The service staff lifted a hand, “Please follow me, Mr. Gu is already here and is waiting for you in the room.”

Wenyan nodded and followed the pace of the service staff.

This private restaurant had a Chinese-style architectural design, and one needed to pass through an open courtyard to get to the private rooms.

On her way there, Wenyan had felt a change in the weather coming, and sure enough, no sooner had they reached the middle of the courtyard when it began to rain.

The rain came down fast and hard, catching them unawares.

Wenyan hadn’t worn a hat when she left home today and she disliked the feeling of her hair getting wet. She instinctively urged, ‘Hurry, hurry,’ covering her head and breaking into a jog.

Soon, they ran into the corridor, and the service staff opened a door, ushering Wenyan into a room named Yunlan Residence.

It was not until the service staff had closed the door and left that a man in the room across Yunlan Residence, with slightly furrowed brows, came back to his senses.

It was Shen Jingxiu.

He happened to be dining here with a good friend today.

Ji Yuanzhou had just returned to the country yesterday and had arranged to dine with Shen Jingxiu today.

“What are you looking at?”

Ji Yuanzhou set down his phone and looked out the window.

Shen Jingxiu glanced at his friend and said indifferently, “It’s raining.”

Ji Yuanzhou raised his eyebrows slightly and gave Shen Jingxiu a knowing smile.

“Should I close the window?”

“No need, the indoor heating is quite strong; it’s good to let some air in.”

Ji Yuanzhou nodded, “My sister said she hasn’t seen you for a long time. She might come by later to say hello, you don’t mind, right?”

This private restaurant was opened by Ji Yuanzhou’s older sister, so whenever he invited friends to dine, he didn’t need to book in advance and even enjoyed the room with the best and most expansive view in the entire courtyard.

“Of course, I don’t mind. How has your sister been lately?”

“Pretty good, other than the fact that the two kids at home are a handful. She complains to me that since she’s had kids, she feels like she’s aged two years. But the kids also bring her a lot of joy. How about you? Any plans to settle down?”

“No.”

“Oh? So decisive.” After saying this, Ji Yuanzhou glanced at the Yunlan Residence across the way.

He knew a woman had gone into the room opposite and Shen Jingxiu had been watching that woman.

But when he asked him just now, Jingxiu lied.

“Are you still so uninterested in worldly desires? You never had a girlfriend.”

“And you?” Shen Jingxiu’s remark immediately countered Ji Yuanzhou.

Ji Yuanzhou laughed, “You know I don’t like foreign women. This time I’m back for good. I hereby declare, my ‘exile’ is officially over.”

“So, are you planning to take over the family business?”

“Yes, you know my older brother has always been in poor health; he’s preparing to step down.”

“What about your companies abroad?”

“I won’t manage them any longer; being a shareholder who just collects dividends at the end of the year is actually not a bad choice. You’ll understand when it’s your turn to retire. But that seems far off for you; your younger brothers don’t seem interested in the family business. By the way, have you found your real sister?”

“I have.”

“Did you acknowledge each other?”

“Sort of.”

“What do you mean sort of?”

“She didn’t change her surname; her adoptive parents are very good to her, and she has deep feelings for that family.”

Ji Yuanzhou nodded, “I see, so Uncle Shen and Aunt Su must be somewhat disappointed, right?”

“It’s already not bad that we found her.”

“That’s true. Speaking of which, your foster sister, if I remember correctly, is named Wenyan, right?”

“Yes, you remembered correctly.”

“Tsk, my memory is really quite good. I seem to recall seeing her only once when I was in my teens. I’ve noticed a famous female star on the internet recently, also named Wenyan; she couldn’t be your foster sister, could she?”

“You pay attention to the entertainment industry?”

“Not really, but I do go online.” Ji Yuanzhou opened his phone as he spoke, “I always end up seeing news and videos about her. Is this her?”

Ji Yuanzhou showed the photo on his phone’s screen to Shen Jingxiu.

Shen Jingxiu glanced at it and nodded.

“Yes, that’s my sister.”

“People really do change as they grow up,” Ji Yuanzhou put his phone away, browsing through other photos of Wenyan, “I can’t recognize her at all. Speaking of which, a woman entered the room opposite just now. From her profile, she looked a bit like your sister. You saw her too, right?”
