That same night, An Xiangrong arrived on time at the Ocean Hotel.
This was the best hotel in Rong City. She came here tonight knowing that the project manager of the Splendid Area would be here.
"Miss, please present your invitation."
Looking at the person in front of him, the security guard at the door was taken aback. An Xiangrong, in a red slit long dress with waist-length hair casually draped over her body and intricate makeup on her face. Her eyes were seductive.
Any man would find it difficult to take his eyes off An Xiangrong in this state.
"Are we done here?"
Seeing the security guard staring at her, An Xiangrong smiled. This smile nearly took the security guard's soul.
Only An Xiangrong knew how shy she felt the closer she got to the crowd.
But she had to move forward. Only by moving forward could she reclaim what was rightfully hers, even though the journey was going to be tough, she still had to trudge on bravely.
"Who is she? She is so beautiful."
"I have never seen her before, wonder which family's daughter she is."
"This lady is even more beautiful than the former richest woman in Rong City, An Xiangrong."
Hearing the whispers behind her, a faint smile curved up at the corner of An Xiangrong's mouth.
Six years ago, the rich and distinguished lady An Xiangrong was noble and elegant, and six years later, the seductive and charming An Xiangrong, no one would have guessed that she was the same rich lady from then.
"Mr. Gu, Miss An. Please, this way."
A commotion suddenly came from the hotel lobby. An Xiangrong turned her head and saw two people at the entrance.
The man was in a black suit, with a black tie as well, emitting a gloomy aura. Compared to six years ago, Gu Mingyu was even colder now.
Standing next to him was An Ling, in a pure white long dress, making her look extraordinarily elegant, like a fairy. Only An Xiangrong knew what this seemingly innocent woman was truly like.
Suddenly, it seemed as though Gu Mingyu had sensed something and unconsciously looked towards An Xiangrong.
The woman's exposed skin was pure white, and her long legs were occasionally visible as she walked with her skirt swaying. Gu Mingyu did not like women who dressed so revealingly, but for some reason, this woman had inexplicably stirred up some desires within him.
"Ah Yu, what are you looking at?"
Seeing Gu Mingyu suddenly stopped, confusion clouded An Ling's eyes as she unconsciously looked at the man beside her.
Hearing An Ling's words, Gu Mingyu murmured lightly, "It's nothing."
Although the man's tone was incredibly cold, An Ling didn't mind. She couldn't help but follow Gu Mingyu's gaze.
What appeared in An Ling's view was An Xiangrong's exposed back and the swaying hem of her skirt. Despite her self-confidence in her own appearance and figure, seeing An Xiangrong's figure, she couldn't help but feel jealous. This woman was just too beautiful.
"Mr. Gu, Miss An."
"Miss Lin."
Ocean Hotel was owned by the Lin family. The Lin family had only two daughters. Lin Qingqing, Baobao's elder sister, took care of the family business.
"Baobao, call for someone."
Lin Qingqing, a typical capable woman, was fully aware of her sister's close relationship with An Xiangrong. Therefore, she was not fond of An Ling.
But in the business world, even if you don't like someone, you wouldn't say anything to their face. Moreover, An Ling had come with Gu Mingyu.
Seeing that Baobao was glaring at An Ling like a hen guarding her eggs, Lin Qingqing warned her sister with a glance.
"I have some things to take care of. I'll be leaving first."
If she were to stay here any longer, Baobao was afraid she wouldn't be able to resist slapping An Ling's face. If not for An Xiangrong coming here, she couldn't be bothered to see this pair of men and women.
"Baobao?"
But Baobao was already far away. When leaving, she purposefully bumped into An Ling but didn't even spare her a glance.
Lin Qingqing was speechless and felt helpless about her little sister. She could only look at Gu Mingyu, full of apology. "Mr. Gu, I'm sorry. My little sister is young, please forgive her."
"Miss An, I apologize for my sister's behavior."
Although she was apologizing with her mouth, there was no sign of remorse in Lin Qingqing's eyes when she looked at An Ling. An Ling was furious, but could only laugh it off, pretending it was okay.
On the other hand, Gu Mingyu, who always had a stern expression, appeared even more displeased.
"Ah Rong, come quickly."
Lin Baobao, who had left the main hall, went straight to meet up with An Xiangrong. Thinking of the information she had gathered, she pulled An Xiangrong's hand and headed for the second floor.
An Xiangrong's body was cold, and her legs were weak.
It's been six years, but every time she senses that man's presence, she can't help but tremble.
"Ah Rong, what's wrong?"
Noticing the coldness in An Xiangrong's fingertips, Lin Baobao instinctively stopped, looking at her with concern. "Are you feeling unwell?"
"I'm fine."
Leaning against the wall to catch her breath, An Xiangrong shook her head, a touch of fatigue in her eyes. Seeing the lively hall, Lin Baobao seemed to realize something and didn't say anything more. She just pointed to the room in front of them and said, "The man living here is the person in charge of the Splendid Area, Mr. Mo. However, my sister told me that Mr. Mo only looks at proposals, he isn't swayed by personal appeal."
"It's fine, I will persuade him to turn the project over to me. Baobao, remember to thank Sister Qing for me later."
"What's there to thank? She's my sister, so she's your sister too. If she won't help you, who will she help then, that white lotus, An Ling?"
Seeing An Xiangrong's mood darkening again, Lin Baobao hastily shut her mouth and pulled a room card out of her bag.
Just as An Xiangrong was about to stop her, the room door opened.
"Good luck."
Leaving those words behind, Lin Baobao directly pushed An Xiangrong into the room.
She had heard from her sister that this Mr. Mo was very handsome.
In the room.
"How long are you going to keep looking, miss?"
Mo Yun had heard the sound as soon as Lin Baobao swiped the card. But as he was about to open the door, An Xiangrong had rushed in. And he was only wrapped in a towel.
An Xiangrong, standing at the entrance, looked at the towel in her hand, then at the man on the ground, and her lips twitched. "I'm sorry."
Tossing the towel in her hand onto the man, An Xiangrong turned around.
"Tell me, are you here to throw yourself at me, or did someone send you?"
Mo Yun was not a lascivious man, but if a beauty like the one in front of him was handed over, he wouldn't mind accepting her.
Seeing the teasing in the man's eyes, An Xiangrong furrowed her brows. But considering her purpose here, she spoke lightly, "I hope you can hand over the Splendid Area project to me."
"You can answer me after looking through this design."
As she said that, An Xiangrong took a blueprint out of her bag and handed it to Mo Yun.
Looking at the blueprint in An Xiangrong's hand, a look of amusement flashed in Mo Yun's eyes. But the moment he opened the blueprint, a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes.
