Chapter 471: She Looks Just Like That Person!
When they heard Zhuang Yi was coming, everyone perked up.Ning Ze, who had just come back, heard the news and immediately said, "Brother Zhuang is late again today; he should be punished with at least ten glasses of wine."
"I agree!" Dong Le immediately concurred.
"Since when did you two become so close?" Song Cheng’an looked at the two and laughed.
"Huh, as if I’d wear the same pants as him?" Dong Le and Ning Ze said in unison.
Everyone laughed at their words, "You guys are so in sync, aren’t you!"
"Humph!" Dong Le and Ning Ze turned away from each other, pretending to ignore one another.
Mu Yan had heard them mention Zhuang Yi before. He was also late at Jiang Jingheng’s last birthday.
Lu Hao had already gone to the entrance to receive him, and before long, he came back with a tall, imposing-looking man.
The man looked about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with rugged features and slightly tanned skin, but he was quite good-looking.
Jiang Jingheng, Ning Ze, and the others got up to greet him.
"Brother Zhuang, we’ve waited for ages for you, and you only just arrived now," Ning Ze said.
"Exactly, you’re late every single time. Don’t you feel ashamed?" Dong Le added.
Zhuang Yi looked at Lu Hao and said helplessly, "Buddy, it’s not that I don’t respect you, but I had to attend an event today. As soon as it was over, I hurried over without a break."
Lu Hao chuckled, "Don’t just talk; drinking a few more glasses will work better than any explanation."
Zhuang Yi looked at them, a little helpless, "Alright, I knew you guys just wanted to make me drink!"
His gaze suddenly fell on Jiang Jingheng, and he smiled, "Brother, long time no see."
He stepped forward, ready to give him a hug.
But unexpectedly, Jiang Jingheng sidestepped, avoiding it.
Zhuang Yi was a bit speechless, "Old Jiang, that’s not cool."
Jiang Jingheng looked at him, his expression cool and detached, with no hint of compromise.
Ning Ze secretly laughed, "Brother Zhuang, with sister-in-law present, Brother Jiang would have to kneel on a keyboard if he hugged another man."
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Yi suddenly remembered something, his eyes lit up, "Sister-in-law’s here? Where?"
"Over there," Dong Le gestured with his eyes.
Zhuang Yi followed his gaze and saw a girl in her early twenties sitting prettily on the sofa.
She was listening to Lan Xi next to her and looking in his direction, her expression unbelievably gentle.
Seeing her charming and delicate face, he felt that her brows, features, and even her dimples were very much like the person in his memory. Updates are released by novel•fire.net
He was a little dazed, blurting out, "Nuannuan?"
Jiang Jingheng, who was about to walk back, suddenly paused in his steps.
He turned his head to look at Zhuang Yi, his light brown eyes darkening.
Ning Ze didn’t catch it clearly and asked, "Brother Yi, what did you say, warm?"
Zhuang Yi snapped out of it, glanced at Ning Ze, and then his gaze fell back on Mu Yan, his brows slightly furrowed.
Lu Hao called out, "Alright, everyone, let’s go sit."
The group moved forward, Jiang Jingheng sat down next to Mu Yan, while Zhuang Yi sat opposite them.
His gaze fixated on Mu Yan, as if trying to discern something from her.
Mu Yan noticed this Zhuang Yi staring at her constantly and felt a bit uneasy.
The atmosphere was slightly stagnant; everyone noticed Zhuang Yi’s curious gaze towards Mu Yan.
Ning Ze was the first to break the silence, asking, "Brother Yi, why are you staring at sister-in-law?"
Dong Le laughed, "Brother Yi, does our sister-in-law look very familiar to you?"
Zhuang Yi looked at Mu Yan and smiled gently, "Yes, very familiar, like I’ve seen her somewhere before."
He then looked at Jiang Jingheng and asked, "Old Jiang, aren’t you going to introduce this beautiful lady beside you?"
