"Brother-in-law, where have you been? You didn't even tell me?" Yao Susu coquettishly wrapped her arms around Xie Peng, and Wen Lan took the opportunity to release her hand from Xie Peng.

He was keenly aware of her departure.

"Miss Wen, let me introduce you. This is my wife's younger sister, Yao Susu."

Xie Peng introduced Yao Susu to Wen Lan.

"Su Su?"

When Wen Lan saw the tattoo behind Yao Susu's ear, a hint of surprise flashed through his mind, but he still greeted her calmly.

Ah Jo's car had been following behind Wen Lan. While she was getting out of the car, he also parked the car and walked towards Wen Lan.

"Mr. Xie, this is my brother, A Jo." She introduced him to Xie Peng.

"Brother-in-law, who is she? Are you going to pick her up in person?" Yao Susu looked at Wen Lan and asked warily.

"This is Miss Wen." Xie Peng answered casually and led Wen Lan inside.

"Miss Wen, do you need a ride?" He extended his arm gentlemanly.

Wen Lan wore a pair of champagne gold Rene Caovilla shoes today. The jeweled laces were wrapped around her slender ankles, and the lively lines extended all the way to her beautiful calves.

This pair of high heels was indeed not very stable. Wen Lan didn't want to support him, but she didn't embarrass Xie Peng on the spot.

She held the small Chanel bag in both hands, gently touched Xie Peng's arm, and then politely pushed his arm away, "No trouble, thank you."

Yao Susu found Xie Peng's attentiveness very uncomfortable, and naturally directed such hostility towards Wen Lan.

"Ms. Yao looks very young. Is she still in college?"

Wen Lan chatted with Xie Peng as they walked.

"She hasn't graduated yet. She's an art student."

"Oh, she studied art. No wonder, Miss Yao has such outstanding temperament." Wen Lan said casually, but she had already made up her mind.

Yao Susu also felt a little proud because of Wen Lan's compliment.

On the art exhibition registration form that Gu Baiou had just sent to Wen Lan, the girl named "June" had a silhouette photo attached to the form that he had taken.

Wen Lan was not impressed by "June"'s appearance, but she took a closer look at the small tattoo behind her ear - it was a green grass leaf tattoo, the same as the one behind Yao Susu's ear.

So, Yao Susu is "June"?

Wen Lan thought about it, then turned to look at Xie Peng. Xie Peng's eyes were also meeting hers, and they were looking at each other.

Her pace gradually slowed down, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through her mind. She looked at Xie Peng with interest.

Does Yao Susu's grass leaf tattoo contain Xie Peng's name?

"What's wrong, Wen...Lan? Did you sprain your ankle?" Xie Peng noticed her hesitation and called her by her name instead of Miss Wen.

"Oh, no, I just feel a little weird." Wen Lan made up an excuse to cover up her sudden inspiration. "Mr. Xie, why do you always look at me like this?"

Now, Xie Peng felt really uncomfortable, as if she had revealed his secrets, and he seemed a little embarrassed.

"Oh, Wen Lan, you are my Kegli's VIP guest, I..." Xie Peng spoke obviously slower.

They reached the door of the banquet hall.

"Wen Lan!" Several young handsome guys at the door greeted Wen Lan enthusiastically in English with a Southeast Asian accent.

"Beautiful lady, you look so beautiful tonight!" One of the men with the best appearance hugged Wen Lan warmly and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

Wen Lan also went up to him generously.

She was wearing high heels and was about 178 cm tall, but the man was still a head taller than her.

Xie Peng frowned, a little surprised. "Wen Lan, are you so familiar with Star?"

"Yes, we are good friends." Wen Lan put her arm around Xingchen's waist, looking very intimate.

Star is currently the most popular male model on the catwalk. When he saw Jo, he bumped fists with her in a familiar manner.

Wen Lan stood on tiptoe, leaned close to Xingchen's ear, and said something to him. Xingchen also lowered his head, listened carefully, and whispered a few words to Wen Lan.

His hands were unreservedly around Wen Lan's waist, and from time to time he would move her earrings and untie her hair.

Inviting celebrities from the fashion show to Kegley's anniversary pre-party was a deliberate move by Xie Peng.

"Brother-in-law, this woman is too casual. She wants any man like this?" Yao Susu pulled Xie Peng over and handed him a glass of champagne.

Ah Qiao was a few steps away from Wen Lan, but he didn't make a fuss. He was the one who introduced Xingchen to Wen Lan.

It was Wen Lan who took the initiative to ask him for help and asked him to act as a matchmaker.

Ya Si wanted to make a feint to the east and attack the west. On the surface, her strategy was to really turn the resort into a carnival of singing and dancing. So, if she didn't get into the circle of male models in the show, how could she deceive Xie Peng?

Xie Peng was testing Wen Lan, testing the truth of the information brought to him by his two spies, Du Ailun and Danny.

Wen Lan had no choice but to play along and put on a good show for Xie Peng.

Business secrets are not so easy to find out. It is normal for someone with bad intentions to pay a price. Does she have to personally say "sorry" to Xie Peng and Kegli?

What's so coincidental about this matter is that just yesterday, on the eve of the Kegley dinner, Wen Lan and Jo found the agents of these male models.

At Xie Peng's instruction, Xie Ning also went to deliver the invitations with the cash that Xie Peng took out from the safe.

Wen Lan arrived just as Xie Ning left.

When agent Levi saw Jo, it was like he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"Jo, this is an emergency, can you lend me some money?" Levi spoke and introduced Xingchen to Jo.

"What happened?" Wen Lan saw that Xingchen's eyes were red, as if he had just cried.

"My mother is in the hospital for cancer. She recently tried a new medicine, but it's too expensive, and I've spent all my money." Xingchen choked up, and it was heartbreaking to hear.

"I don't bring much cash. Here is 50,000 US dollars." Wen Lan took out a thick stack of money from her bag and stuffed it into Xingchen's hand without hesitation.

Everyone in the room, except Ah Jo, was stunned.

"You gave me so much money, I can't pay you back all at once." Xingchen seemed to be dreaming. "You came to me, do you need me to do something for you?"

"Huh?" Wen Lan was stunned by the question, then realized the possibility he mentioned and quickly waved his hand to deny it.

"Xingchen, don't get me wrong. I am here this time because I do have a request for you. I just want to invite you, if your schedule permits, to come to my Sunset Bar at the Yas Resort to perform two guest shows. It's that simple." Wen Lan explained.

Jo helped Wen Lan and Levi to communicate the details. The performance fee was paid in full in advance after the contract was signed yesterday, without any bargaining.

Before leaving, Jo said something more.

"Levi, the lady who came to see you just now is the daughter of the Kegley Hotel. What does she want to see you for?"
