Reborn with the ability to read minds, I became a heartthrob.

Zhou Liwan quickly arrived at the door, looking around as she waited for Yao Ruofu.

But there was still no sign of anyone.

The constant stares from passersby made Zhou Liwan very uncomfortable, and she kept cursing Yao Ruofu, that unreliable woman, in her heart.

Suddenly someone gently touched her shoulder from behind, and Zhou Liwan subconsciously turned around.

Finding no one there, they turned around again.

Then I saw a young man wearing a casual suit, with a buzz cut, laughing freely.

"Zi Mu." Zhou Liwan rubbed her eyes, murmuring in disbelief.

The boy felt a little embarrassed by her gaze and scratched the back of his head with a slightly ashamed expression.

At this moment, Yao Ruo jumped out from behind the boy: "How about it, are you surprised? Unexpected?"

Zhou Liwan rushed up happily and gave the two of them a big hug: "Didn't you say you wouldn't be back for two days?"

Xu Zimu reverted to his usual nonchalant attitude: "Of course, it was fake news that I deliberately spread to you! It was all to give you a surprise. How about that? The shock effect was amazing."

Zhou Liwan rolled her eyes and punched him lightly: "Why are you still like this? You should have toned it down after spending a few months in the army."

Yao Ruofu, holding one arm in each hand, led them inside: "Alright, alright, why are we talking outside? Let's go inside and find a place to sit and chat."

Only then did Zhou Liwan suddenly realize that she had been out for quite some time, and a hint of guilt crossed her face: "I came with my uncle today, and we already found a seat this morning. It doesn't seem right to leave now..."

Yao Ruofu gave Zhou Liwan a meaningful look, but said nothing, and generously said, "It's okay, you go first. Anyway, we've booked a private room tonight to have a good get-together, so a little while won't make a difference."

Zhou Liwan breathed a sigh of relief and went inside with them, smiling.

Once inside, I discovered that an unfamiliar woman was sitting in my original seat; she seemed to be the same woman who had been glaring at me from the doorway.

Zhou Liwan hesitated now, seeing that she was talking to her uncle, she didn't know whether she should go up and interrupt.

Shen Nanzhou seemed to sense something, and suddenly looked up in her direction.

When their eyes met, the cold and aloof aura vanished instantly, and a gentle beckoning gesture appeared: "Aren't you coming over? What are you standing there for?"

Zhou Liwan slowly approached. When the woman saw that it was her, she quickly put on a smile, stood up and greeted her: "You must be Wanwan? It's nice to meet you. My name is Song Yi'an."

Song Yi'an?

Why does it sound so familiar?

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Liwan suddenly realized that this was the future wife that her maternal grandfather had found for her uncle.

Didn't I disturb them? I should have sat with Yao Ruofu and the others earlier.

Zhou Liwan moved over in small steps, looking somewhat bewildered: "I didn't know you were here."

Looking at the man, she continued apologetically, "Xu Zimu is back, and he's with Afu right now. I think I'll sit with them and not disturb you."

He tried to leave after saying that, but his hand was enveloped by a large hand: "Where are you going? Just sit here."

Zhou Liwan looked at Song Yi'an with embarrassment: "I just didn't want to disturb you two. I'll go over there."

"No need." After saying these two words, the man stopped talking, and anyone could tell what was going on.

Song Yi'an felt awkward and wanted to wrap her tightly in his arms, feeling wronged.

But then she started to fantasize, because she and he didn't have feelings for each other yet, but what if they got together in the future?

He will also resist all temptations that come his way.

Thinking about this made her feel a little better. She whispered an apology and left.

After Zhou Liwan and the others had walked away, she whispered, "Uncle, is she the fiancée that Grandpa arranged for you?"

Shen Nanzhou casually raised his eyes and glanced at Zhou Liwan indifferently: "We've only met once."

Zhou Liwan picked up the booklet again and flipped through it casually. She knew that since her grandfather had arranged for them to meet, it would definitely not be just a meeting.

Their engagement announcement should be made soon.

Thinking of this, Zhou Liwan casually pursed her lips.

Shen Nanzhou had been paying attention to her movements, so he naturally noticed her expression.

They pretended not to see anything, and soon the auction officially began, with items being presented one by one.

Zhou Liwan hadn't seen anything she liked and was feeling a bit disheartened when a commotion suddenly broke out behind her quiet seat.

Zhou Liwan casually turned her head and saw Zhou Qingya, as well as some unfamiliar faces around her.

"My goodness! Qingya, we've never been to an auction like this before, it's so cool!"

"Yeah, yeah, look, look, that guy over there looks like the boss of Andy Entertainment. My favorite artist is one of his artists."

Zhou Qingya sensed their interest in everything here, and she was the young lady who was leading them to see the world.

I can finally, finally live the life I want.

Those days of living in the shadows are finally over.

Zhou Qingya said smugly in a low voice, "It's just Andy Entertainment, just a small company."

The disdain and pride in his eyes made some people around him feel contempt. Who exactly is this nouveau riche?

The look of disdain in her eyes was as if breathing the same air as her would pollute it.

Clearly, Zhou Qingya and her group of girlfriends didn't think so.

Seeing the high-society people around them, whom they rarely interacted with, looking at them made their hearts flutter, and they thought they had attracted the attention of the upper class.

Zhou Liwan glanced at the person behind her in surprise, then silently looked away, lest she come over and try to scam her, which would only make her look bad.

But she still privately messaged Yao Ruofu: "Why do you invite just anyone to your house?"

Yao Ruofu had obviously seen Zhou Qingya as well, and immediately replied: "Damn it, I guess my dad's girlfriend only knew that the one I was close to was the Zhou family's daughter. Who knew that you ran back to the old house, but still managed to send out the invitations."

Zhou Liwan replied: "We must pretend we didn't see it, lest that lunatic comes over and causes trouble again, making a mess of things."

The group displayed the most coordinated teamwork they had shown in over a decade.

"I never expected to run into you, Mr. Shen, here. It's truly an honor!"

Suddenly, a middle-aged man saw Shen Nanzhou and immediately stopped in his tracks.

Shen Nanzhou glanced at the other person and simply nodded.

Zhou Liwan glanced at the other person curiously and immediately felt that he looked somewhat familiar.

I don't know where I've seen it.

"Mr. Shen, it's like this. I already gave that rascal a stern talking-to about that batch of goods a while ago. I hope Mr. Shen can be magnanimous and let them off the hook."

Shen Nanzhou was clearly getting impatient, and simply gestured with his eyes to the bodyguard who was standing not far away.

The middle-aged man was quickly asked to leave.

Only then did Zhou Liwan remember who he was; he was the father of the group of men who had been gossiping behind Shen Nanzhou's back.

No wonder it looked so familiar.
