Chapter 4 - Running Into Someone Familiar (1)
When she arrived at the Gu's front door, Su Ran was stopped by the Gu's servants.
"I'm here to work. I'm with Hong-jie," said Su Ran as she lowered her head.
Hong-jie was pretty well known in the pimp circle within City Bei. As soon as the servant heard the name "Hong-jie", they immediately knew what kind of profession she was in.
"Just leave your purse here by the door. Followed me in from the backdoor."
"Okay."
The only items in Su Ran's purse was a cheap lipstick and a cellphone that was worth 1,000 yuan. It made no difference to her whether she has them with her or not.
After she had dropped off her purse, she followed the servant and entered into the Gu's house from the back.
She didn't stay and wait for the servant's "arrangement". After the servant walked away, Su Ran quickly walked to the front room.
It seemed like the banquet had just started.
There were a lot of guests today. Many of them the original owner had known in the past. They were spoiled rich kids ten years ago, and now they were animals wearing human clothes ten years later. Hong-jie and her gang were entertaining among the guests. In addition to them, there were also some stars and students from acting schools mixed in.
Su Ran was able to quickly locate Su Han amidst all the young people.
The 13~14-year-old child was the shortest one when standing in the crowd, but his handsome face made him stand out. Even though he was not yet an adult, one could tell that he would become a very handsome man in the future.
Su Han's eyes and the shape of his nose greatly resemble that of the original owner. As for the other features, it probably resembled one of the men in the incident back in the days?
The original "Su Ran" was only 15 ~ 16 years old when she was banished by her family. She spent the remaining money left to her by her parents before they passed away to hire some people and wanted to deal the last blow to the female lead, who was at the time helping the male lead in negotiating a business deal at a hotel. In the end, everything backfired onto her.
Ergo, Su Han, was the byproduct of the original Su Ran's own evil plan on her way out. As for his obstinate and unyielding aura, and his calmness and coldness that could give others the chill, she had no idea who that came from.
Not some bad guys, I hope….
Su Ran grumbled to herself as she walked in the direction of Su Han.
In a banquet like this, with the exception of some young people there were tricked there, nobody else was all that innocent. When Su Ran showed up in the most commonly-seen outfit anywhere else, she ended up standing out more.
Many had already noticed her as she was making her way over.
As much as she didn't intend to attract so much attention, there were certain benefits when she showed up looking like that there.
Ever since she was banished by her family, "Su Ran" was short of having thick makeup applied even when she was in bed. It wasn't just out of professional necessity. A lot of it was the original owner's personal reasons – she wanted to think that she was able to cover up the scar on her face and she also didn't want anyone recognizing her.
Now that she had showed up here without any makeup on, not even Hong-jie and her gang, who had just saw her a few hours ago, recognized her.
And not just Hong-jie and her gang. Not even the original owner's instant son recognized her.
When he heard the whispering from those in his group, Su Han had also looked up in the direction of SU Ran.
And just like his buddies had said, she was, indeed, a very pretty "older sister".
Except that, the first thing that Su Han had noticed wasn't her pretty face, but the feeling that she stirred up.
For some unknown reasons, Su Han felt that the person seemed very familiar to him. It made him wanted to go over and talk to her. But considering that he didn't really know her, that would just be too abrupt.
