Chapter 131: 128. The gift was lost on the way, I'll make it up next time!

The next morning, Zhang Ran instructed Zhang Sicheng and Liu Lu that he had matters to attend to that evening, and asked one of them to return to look after the two children.

In the evening, after Zhang Ran waited for Liu Lu to return, he and He Yong went together to the hotel address on the invitation.

Zhang Ran truly did not expect that Tian Yaohui would actually dare to send an invitation to him; did he really think that he, Zhang Ran, would give him this face? Or did he think his own face was really that big?

Just as Zhang Ran and his companion arrived downstairs at the hotel, Siyan and Qian Li had already reached the site of the Engagement ceremony and were currently looking at Sun Gaixin and Tian Ya.

"Senior, you've come too? Welcome, welcome. I didn't expect that you would actually have the time to come and bless us." Tian Ya was slightly stunned when she saw Siyan, but she quickly reacted and said with a smile, though her tone was mostly filled with a sense of showing off.

Siyan glanced at her and said indifferently, "I am here representing Kangshilan Company this time."

As for Sun Gaixin, Siyan did not even look at him once.

Tian Ya was taken aback and looked at Zhao Jingyu to the side. Zhao Jingyu smiled and said, "President Huo has been feeling a bit unwell lately, so she asked Miss Zhang to come in her stead."

Once these words were spoken, both Tian Ya and Sun Gaixin frowned, not knowing what Huo Zhiyuan meant by this.

However, as this was the time when there were many official guests, they did not have the time to inquire about this.

"Assistant Zhao, Siyan, Xiao Li, please come in," Sun Gaixin said.

Qian Li looked as if she had been disgusted, "Can you not be so disgusting? Are we very familiar with you? Eww~ You calling us like that gave me goosebumps."

Seeing Qian Li show him no face, Sun Gaixin's expression immediately turned somewhat ugly, but he quickly recovered; however, there was a bad premonition in his heart.

After Qian Li finished speaking, she ignored Sun Gaixin's expression and walked straight into the venue. The big show was yet to come; this was just an appetizer.

Just as Sun Gaixin was composing himself, preparing to welcome guests, Hao Yuan, who had been standing to the side the whole time, had his expression change. He quickly came to Sun Gaixin's side and said to him, "Mr. Sun, please come over for a moment."

Saying this, he pulled Sun Gaixin inside and temporarily left this place to Tian Ya.

Sun Gaixin looked at Hao Yuan with some confusion, not knowing what he was doing, but he soon found out, because he saw a person walking over. Upon seeing this person, Sun Gaixin's heart also trembled.

"Zhang Ran! Why did he come too?" Sun Gaixin asked in a low voice.

"It was invited by President Tian. President Tian and Boss Zhang knew each other in the past, and Miss Tian can be considered a junior to Boss Zhang, so he should have been invited," Hao Yuan explained.

His main purpose today was to take Sun Gaixin to the side when Zhang Ran arrived, so they wouldn't run into each other head-on.

Tian Yaohui still understood Zhang Ran very well, knowing that if the two of them really bumped into each other, Zhang Ran might be able to beat Sun Gaixin up on the spot, so he had prepared in advance.

As for after they went inside, Tian Yaohui was confident that Zhang Ran would not dare to be so unscrupulous!

Zhang Ran walked over and only saw Tian Ya, smiling as he said, "Where is that fellow surnamed Sun? Why is it just you? Don't tell me he abandoned you and ran off at the last minute."

Listening to Zhang Ran's teasing words, Tian Ya was very angry inside, but she could only suppress her rage. She had to keep a smile on her face and said, "Uncle Zhang is joking. Gaixin has some matters to attend to inside first. I will have him apologize to you later."

She had only just learned that Zhang Ran was coming, and Tian Yaohui had specifically instructed her not to provoke Zhang Ran outside. No matter what Zhang Ran said, she had to treat him with a smiling face; if she wanted to vent, she could wait until later.

Zhang Ran smiled; this Tian Yaohui was truly thorough in his considerations, knowing that he would not hit Tian Ya.

However, Tian Yaohui still overestimated Zhang Ran's tolerance. Zhang Ran indeed would not hit Tian Ya, nor would he do anything to her, but Zhang Ran could disgust her.

Zhang Ran was seen casually patting his body, then he looked at He Yong and said, "Where is the gift I prepared?"

He Yong was completely bewildered. When did Zhang Ran prepare a gift? And when did he give it to him?

However, having been by Zhang Ran's side for so long, he quickly understood Zhang Ran's meaning. He immediately began to search as well, then said with a serious face, "It was lost on the way."

"Cough, cough, cough." This was the people on the side unable to hold it in.

Can you put in a little effort?

If you didn't prepare a gift, then you didn't prepare one; could you find a worse excuse than that?

Zhang Ran glared at He Yong in 'anger', then looked at Tian Ya and said, "Well, sorry, the gift from Uncle Zhang here was lost on the way. How about this, next time, when you get engaged next time, Uncle Zhang will definitely prepare a luxurious gift for you!"

Once these words were spoken, even the people on the side who were watching the fun could not remain calm. Is this coming to attend an Engagement ceremony?

Isn't this damn well coming to smash the place?

Is there anyone who speaks like that?

And "next Engagement ceremony"?

Tian Ya's expression could no longer be maintained. She was not a person with deep thoughts to begin with. Just as she was about to flare up, she saw Zhang Ran looking at her with a smile, seemingly looking forward to her outburst.

This expression of Zhang Ran's immediately made Tian Ya sober up. She didn't know what was going on, but seeing Zhang Ran's smiling appearance, she had a feeling of hair-raising horror.

Subsequently, Tian Ya took a deep breath and said slowly, "It's fine. Uncle Zhang being able to come is the best gift. Please come in, my father is waiting for you inside."

When she said these words, Tian Ya could even perceive the strange gazes of those people on the side, and she immediately felt a sense of shame and anger.

When had she, Tian Ya, ever suffered such grievances? Now she really wanted her father to immediately deal with the person in front of her.

As for those onlookers, their gazes toward Zhang Ran were different. Who exactly was this person? To actually not give Tian Yaohui any face, and looking at Tian Ya's appearance, it seemed she could only be secretly angry and dared not show it openly.

"Boss Zhang, you've arrived. Quickly, please come in," Hao Yuan, who was hiding in the shadows, could no longer stay there and had to bite the bullet and walk up.

"Yong Ge, you've come too." When he first saw He Yong, Hao Yuan was also somewhat surprised.

He knew who He Yong was, of course. It could be said that back then, He Yong was Zhang Ran's number one confidant, and He Yong could be considered to have gone through fire and water for Zhang Ran. He had seen He Yong's ferocity.

After Zhang Ran disappeared back then, He Yong also disappeared, and no matter how they looked, they couldn't find him. Now, he had actually returned and appeared along with Zhang Ran.

So at this moment, he was even more worried. Hao Yuan truly did not doubt that as long as Zhang Ran gave the word, He Yong could smash this place up on the spot without considering the consequences in the slightest.

Zhang Ran saw Hao Yuan come out and looked at the shadows over there, making Hao Yuan's heart feel somewhat panicked.

"Remember, next time, be sure to remember to invite me," Zhang Ran said this at the end, then took He Yong and walked into the hall together.
