Chapter 2920 Sister Nian: What’s Going On?

Gu Hengbo reacted quickly. "How could that be? You called all of them? No one picked up?"

Ji Ziyin looked as if she had been slapped. Her complexion was ashen and her expression was ugly. "Mm, the line was either busy, or the phone had been turned off."

She even suspected that someone was deliberately messing with her.

Gu Hengbo felt dizzy. He was the one who had invited all these people in her name today! If he messed up…

No, he couldn’t mess it up!

He held his breath and took out his cell phone. He found Shi Fu’s number in his contact list and clicked on it nervously.

Shi Fu was one of the WLA members. He must know something!

"Beep…" Gu Hengbo’s heart was in his throat.

Fortunately, the call was picked up after a few beeps.

Gu Hengbo impatiently distanced himself from the others before asking, "What’s wrong with you guys? Why didn’t you come to the celebration party? Aren’t you guys from the WLA? According to the rules…"

Before he could finish speaking, Shi Fu’s usual stiff voice interrupted him. "According to the rules, we have to attend the celebration. However…"

Gu Hengbo was anxious. "However what?"

Shi Fu indifferently said, "However, we are welcoming a more important person. So, we won’t be going."

Gu Hengbo was dazed.

Shi Fu seemed to be deliberately angering him. "Don’t you know? The investor behind WLA is here. We’ve all received the news and are going to eat with him. The venue is at the clubhouse not far from you. Probably no one will go to your celebration tonight."

Gu Hengbo felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck him. He was in a daze.

He hung up and returned to the banquet hall’s entrance like he had lost his soul.

Facing Ji Xiao and the others’ questions, Gu Hengbo was silent for a long time before saying, "No one is coming tonight."

At 6:50 PM, Qiao Nian received a call from Ye Wangchuan asking to eat with him at the Mountain Sea Pavilion.

She left at seven and arrived at the Mountain Sea Pavilion about 20 minutes later.

Before entering, she received a message from an unfamiliar number: [Again? Qiao Nian, is there a point in doing this?] Qiao Nian immediately blacklisted the number, not even bothering to find out who it was.

Judging from the exasperated tone, there were only a few possible people.

Ji Ziyin, Leonard, Nie Qingru, and their like.

She did not know who sent the message this time, but she did not want to bother with them.

After blacklisting the number, she put her cell phone back in her pocket and entered the clubhouse with one hand in her pocket.

The waiter led her to the private room and dutifully opened the door.

"Miss Qiao, we’re here."

Qiao Nian realized that other than two people she had not seen in a long time, many familiar faces were also present. Shi Fu and Zhou Zhou were there, but she did not know the others.

Shi Fu and Zhou Zhou were stunned upon seeing her.

Zhou Zhou reacted the fastest. She quickly stood up and waved at her. "S… Qiao Nian. Come, come, sit with me."

The other people stared at her in unison, their faces filled with shock and surprise. They were quite puzzled at her appearance.

Qiao Nian retracted her gaze and lowered the brim of the cap to cover her eyes. She coolly walked to Zhou Zhou’s side and pulled out the chair to sit down.

Then, she expressionlessly took out her phone under the table and sent a certain someone a message.

[Q: What’s going on?]
