Chapter 13 Dance with Gong Zemu

• The luxury atmosphere brought back a long-lost feeling she once had. It has been so long… These moments are all too familiar…
• Gong Minghan socialized with people who came forward and did a brief introduction of Song Shenglan who stood next to him.
• Suddenly, the hall became quiet.
• A man dressed in smart suit slowly entered the hall.
• The man’s features were dazzling. He was tall and muscular. His presence in the hall was felt strongly by the crowd.
• It was Gong Zemu!
• He grabbed everyone’s attention when he showed up.
• Most of the guests were here for him. They anticipated on having a word or two with him. However, at the same time, they were intimidated by his aura and dared not approach him.
• He kept his eyes straight and when he walked past Song Shenglan, he eyes swept across her face briefly.
• That look seems to have an implicit meaning.
• Song Shenglan felt uneasy. When she looked at Gong Zemu again, he was already on his way to his mother, Mrs. Gong.
• Gong Minghan pointed to a resting area on the side and directed Song Shenglan, “Stay here, I’ll call you when I need you.”
• He turned around and left without hesitation.
• Song Shenglan did not care as well. She sat on the sofa and filled her empty stomach with cakes in front of her.
• After a while, she overheard a conversation coming from the back. The conversation was getting clearer.
• “Mr. Gong, we were too impatient on the project at Yan Hill. Could you please give us another chance?” A man asked Gong Zemu respectfully.
• “There is only one chance. If you missed it, then you had missed it”. Gong Zemu rejected him and would not allow him to ask further.
• That man was embarrassed and speechless. He could not do anything so he left in the end.
• A few more people surrounded Gong Zemu when they saw him here.
• Those people spent a huge amount of money to get invited to the event just so they could meet Gong Zemu. If he could show them some generosity, they would make enough fortune for the coming years.
• Gong Zemu got used to this type of situation. He walked to the sofa area. When he was about to sit, he saw Song Shenglan who was also sitting on the sofa.
• She was eating. Her mysterious facade had faded and now she looked pretty. Her facial expression when she gobbled up her food was adorable.
• He squinted his eyes.
• Song Shenglan coincidently raised her eyes and saw Gong Zemu. She hurriedly got up to greet him, “Good day, Mr. Gong.”
• She guessed he might be having some business deals to discuss, so she showed her acknowledgement and left the place, leaving room for Gong Zemu and those people who rushed there to see him.
• Gong Zemu watched as Song Shenglan left and fell into thinking. He was not pay attention to the guests in front of him.
• He heard that someone was going after Gong Minghan earlier and he had looked out for him.
• He felt a big difference between the Yu Chenwei in his memory and the one that he saw now. It was not only her makeup that was completely different but also her overall temperament and behavior.
• Yu Chenwei in the past was obedient but now…
• Gong Zemu raised his eyebrows. This woman was good at faking it, looks like she doesn’t like Gong Minghan.
• Then, what is her intention in getting close to Gong family?
• What if it is related to that incident in Gong family?
• Very soon, the event began. First dance was unquestionably led by members of the Gong family.
• Gong Zemu did not have a partner. In fact, he was almost 30 but he was not heard to have any relationship with a woman.
• Therefore, Mrs. Gong was ready to ask Gong Minghan and Song Shenglan to lead the dance.
• However, when the music started, Gong Minghan was missing from the floor. As Mrs. Gong ordered the maid to look for him, she heard Gong Zemu who was beside her said, “I’ll go.”
• He walked in front of Song Shenglan and asked her for a dance.
• Under the spotlight, the man’s eyes are captivating. Song Shenglan was not sure why Gong Zemu would ask her to dance with him.
