Su Mo's voice sounded very nervous. Gu Anran didn't know what she saw. In short, just obey and that would be it.
As soon as they turned around, they heard someone talking behind them.
"Principal Su, are you here too? Don't you usually like to attend such occasions?"
"Yeah, I don't usually like to join in the fun, but the Miss Ruan who got engaged today is a student of my school. I received an invitation from Mr. Ruan and couldn't refuse the invitation, so I came."
Principal Su is no longer young, but his voice still sounds young.
The voices gradually faded away, and Su Mo dared to look back secretly.
After a while, Su Mo exhaled, her tense shoulders relaxed, and she patted her heart and said to Gu Anran, "I was scared to death! My grandpa just walked past us! If he sees me dressed like this
, you have to cut me when you get home!"
Gu Anran's gaze followed Su Mo's gaze and landed on the back of an old man whose hair was gray but well-kempt.
Is this Su Mo's grandfather? The president of Nancheng University?
This was the first time Gu Anran saw him. It seemed that Su Mo's outstanding height was a family inheritance.
Even though Su Mo's grandfather was old, he was still tall and not stooped at all. The old man was also very fashionable, wearing a white shirt and a pair of dark overalls.
Gu Anran looked at the back and praised, "I didn't expect your grandpa to be so fashionable and a handsome old man!"
"What a shame!" Su Mo scratched her head and said in confusion, "He said he wouldn't come in the morning, so why did he change his mind again in the afternoon? He really wouldn't come to such an occasion in the past, no matter who invited him, he couldn't invite him.
Him. If I knew he was coming, I would have worn a hat to cover him up!"
Gu Anran looked at the embarrassed Su Mo with a smile. Thinking of the conversation she just heard, she said to Su Mo: "Didn't your grandpa just say that? It's hard to refuse the invitation to Mr. Ruan. It must be Mr. Ruan's repeated invitation.
I really can’t shirk it.”
"Maybe!" Su Mo also thought so.
Su Mo glanced at her grandfather Su Ainong again. There were always people around her grandfather going to say hello, but she had no time to look elsewhere. As long as she didn't make too much noise, her grandfather wouldn't notice her.
Although the old man was not a leading figure active in the business circle, he was indeed a representative of a scholarly family and was highly respected by everyone.
After people's material lives began to improve, they began to pursue wealth in spiritual life.
Which wealthy person nowadays doesn’t want their children to go to college? Those who are able will send their children to study abroad.
It seems that the more children read, the more they can make up for the lack of reading by the older generation.
"An Ran, how about we go sit there?"
The direction Su Mo was pointing was exactly opposite Su Ainong's current location. Su Mo had a strong desire to survive and tried her best to stay as far away from her grandfather as possible.
"Okay. You can sit anywhere." Gu Anran pursed her lips and smiled, then followed Su Mo over there.
So far, this engagement scene looks quite normal, but Gu Anran knows that this seemingly normal engagement scene will definitely hide a conspiracy to deal with her, but she hasn't discovered what the conspiracy is yet.
Don't worry, since it is a conspiracy to deal with her, no matter where she sits, she will be so dazzling in the eyes of some people. The conspiracy will not find her just because she sits far away.
The venue was carefully decorated, with a dark red carpet on the floor and tables and chairs wrapped in festive-colored velvet.
There was a round platform in the center of the venue, which was covered with rose petals. There was a beautiful six-layer cake next to the platform - that was where a pair of lovers received everyone's blessings.
A large number of pink balloons tied with colorful ribbons are floating in the air. As the guests move around, the balloons will also be affected by the airflow and flutter...
If this was really just an engagement scene without any calculations or tricks, Gu Anran would think it was perfect.
It's very romantic, like being in a fairy tale world.
While Gu Anran was looking at the venue, Su Mo had already tasted all the fruits on the table.
"An Ran, eat oranges. Oranges are very sweet. Well, this watermelon is also delicious! How come it tastes better than summer? How do you do it? Isn't watermelon only available in summer?"
Gu Anran explained to Su Mo: "In some cities far away from the equator, they are like spring all year round. The off-season vegetables and fruits here can be grown all year round."
Su Mo raised her head and wiped the watermelon juice from the corner of her mouth, with shock in her eyes, "Could this be shipped from a city in the south of our country? Just to eat a melon?"
"Yes, just to eat a melon. Wasn't there an incident in ancient times in our country where a concubine riding a red dust horse laughed?"
"We have too much money to burn, so don't waste the watermelon from all the way, eat it!" Su Mo pouted and picked up a piece of watermelon, and asked Gu Anran to eat it together, "You can eat it too, or not?"
Don’t eat it for free!”
"Yeah! Eat!" Gu Anran put the square scarf in front of her on her lap, then picked up a piece of watermelon and ate it in small bites. Not to mention, it was refreshing, cool, sweet, and really refreshing.
The guests who came to the engagement ceremony all wanted to be closer to the ceremony stage in the center.
The tables closer to the ceremony stage were overcrowded, with the standard of ten people per table, but some tables were forced to have stools, making it possible to squeeze into a table of fifteen people.
On the contrary, the further away from the corner of the round platform, the fewer people are at the table.
Gu Anran and the others sat at the farthest table, and they were the only ones at this table.
It’s even better this way. It’s a complete set of noodles for two people to enjoy, and not a single dish is missing!
The fruit was almost eaten, so the waiter left and brought out dried fruits, melon seeds and tea.
While others were busy thinking about the Ruan family's congratulations and chatting with other guests, Gu Anran and Su Mo were busy eating.
They didn't want to congratulate Ruan Xue, congratulate her, or say something that didn't mean anything with a fake smile.
The most important thing is that before it becomes clear how Ruan Xue wants to harm her, it's best not to move around much. She just sits here motionless and wants to see how Ruan Xue wants to harm her.
She was almost full after eating the melon seeds. Su Mo waved to the nearby waiter and asked him: "Why haven't you taken away these dried fruits and melon seeds? When will the food be served?"
The waiter looked embarrassed and said, "I don't know about this. We also follow the foreman's arrangement. We can't change it before the foreman notifies us to change it."
Just as he was talking, two "Hey, hey" sounds came from the speaker above his head.
They looked up at the circular stage. A male host wearing a black suit and a dark blue bow tie was already in place.
He adjusted the volume, put on an excited and joyful expression and started his hosting.
"Dear guests, let us invite our hero today to appear with warm applause!"
