Chapter 135: 132. Reunion of Old Friends (Please subscribe, please vote for monthly tickets!)

Zhao Jingyu's expression changed instantly when she saw Prince Haiman; she never imagined that Tian Yaohui would actually be able to invite Prince Haiman. No wonder he had been so confident just now when he said Huo Zhiyuan would reconsider.

Zhang Siyan did not know the specific situation, but seeing the shifting expressions on Zhao Jingyu's face, a bad premonition welled up in her heart.

Tian Yaohui, on the stage, also saw Zhao Jingyu's stiff expression, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl into a smile.

Next, Kangshilan should prepare to bleed!

Tian Ya and Sun Gaixin hurriedly stepped forward to greet Prince Haiman and his party. At this moment, both of them were extremely excited, especially Tian Ya; the look she gave Zhang Siyan was once again filled with a sense of superiority.

Sun Gaixin was the same, though his eyes held more mockery.

You, Zhang Siyan, want to take revenge on me, but you chose the wrong person!

"I am deeply honored, and my family is as well, that Prince Haiman could come to attend my daughter's Engagement ceremony!" Tian Yaohui walked forward and said with a smile.

A flawless smile hung on Prince Haiman's face, "Every couple should receive the most beautiful blessings."

"Thank you!" The smile on Tian Yaohui's face became even more radiant.

Afterward, Tian Yaohui's gaze could not help but drift toward Zhang Ran; although he still wore that proper smile, his eyes were incomparably smug.

Do you see that? The connections you, Zhang Ran, didn't have back then, I, Tian Yaohui, have now!

Prince Haiman had just been preparing to say a few words of blessing to the couple when he saw Tian Yaohui's expression and subconsciously followed Tian Yaohui's line of sight.

At this moment, Zhang Ran was also looking at the stage, his eyes filled with some surprise and a touch of joy.

This joy was simply the delight of seeing an old friend!

That little prince who used to be a crybaby had already entered middle age; his appearance had changed greatly, but one could still faintly see the shadow of the past!

Prince Haiman had originally only taken a casual look, but after one glance, he immediately withdrew his gaze, preparing to start speaking.

But the next moment, amidst the astonished gazes of everyone, Prince Haiman suddenly whipped his head back around, his eyes staring fixedly in one direction.

Lin Mei was also startled by her husband's behavior; although Prince Haiman was usually very casual and did not care much for etiquette or rules.

But when out in public, Prince Haiman represented the status of a prince of a nation, so whether in his conduct or his speech, he was quite dignified. When had anyone ever seen him act so uncomposed?

Following Prince Haiman's gaze, Lin Mei also looked over and saw a young man with a smile on his face.

"Zhang? Zhang Ran!" Prince Haiman confirmed he hadn't seen wrong. Although they hadn't met for twenty-eight years, the impression Zhang Ran left on Prince Haiman was truly too profound; it would not be an exaggeration to say he was the person Prince Haiman had always kept in his heart.

What was even more crucial was that Zhang Ran hadn't changed a bit after all these years!

Tian Yaohui, who had been full of smiles on the side, heard Prince Haiman call out Zhang Ran's name, and seeing the hint of surprise on Prince Haiman's face, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

The other remaining guests also subconsciously looked toward Zhang Ran, each with a hint of curiosity on their faces.

Who is this person? How does he know Prince Haiman? And why did he make Prince Haiman act so uncomposed?

Zhang Siyan and Qian Li also looked over, and when they saw Zhang Ran and confirmed that the person Prince Haiman was calling was the person in their hearts, they were also stunned.

At this moment, the large space in the venue seemed extremely quiet; everyone was silently watching Zhang Ran and Prince Haiman.

Zhang Ran said with a smile: "Long time no see!"

Hearing Zhang Ran's voice, Prince Haiman knew he definitely hadn't recognized the wrong person; he strode directly down, and halfway there, he had already stretched out his arms in a gesture of a hug!

Such a posture left everyone even more dumbfounded!

Meanwhile, Lin Mei was curiously sizing up Zhang Ran; she never imagined that the person her husband had always kept in his heart would look so young!

According to Prince Haiman's account, this person should be at least over fifty, right?

Zhang Ran and Prince Haiman hugged each other vigorously. Although Prince Haiman was surprised that Zhang Ran seemed not to have changed at all after so many years, the excitement in his heart did not diminish in the slightest.

"Haha, Zhang Ran, we really are fated; this can count as meeting again in the jianghu, right!" Prince Haiman laughed loudly. At this moment, he lacked the aristocratic demeanor he had on stage just now, just like an ordinary person meeting an old friend.

But the more he acted like this, the more it made people marvel at his relationship with Zhang Ran.

"Indeed, I also didn't expect to see you in this place," Zhang Ran also said with a sigh.

"You really are something; I've been looking for you for nearly twenty years. Every time I came to Shanghai for the New Year, I was looking for you in Shanghai," Prince Haiman said, thumping Zhang Ran on the shoulder.

"You didn't come to find me either. Back then, I said I'd leave you ten percent of the shares in the winery; were you really not concerned at all?"

"What have you been doing for these twenty-plus years? Didn't you say you would settle down in Shanghai?"

"Let me tell you..."

At this moment, Prince Haiman actually became like a nagging young wife, as if he were complaining to Zhang Ran, which made many people on the sidelines drop their jaws in shock.

Lin Mei was also looking at her husband with a wry smile at this time. Seeing him still talking, she couldn't help but step forward and tug on him, signaling that now was not the time to reminisce.

"Zhang Ran, let me introduce you; this is my wife, your sister-in-law," Prince Haiman introduced without any formality.

Lin Mei knew the status this Zhang Ran held in her husband's heart, so she smiled and said: "Hello, Brother Zhang, my name is Lin Mei."

When Lin Mei called out "Brother Zhang," the people in the venue who were still in shock could no longer say a word.

Zhang Ran smiled and greeted Lin Mei, then looked at Prince Haiman and said: "You ask me where I've been for these twenty-plus years? You should go ask the Lehman Cruise Company of your country about that."

"And as for you, it's been twenty-eight years, but for me, the last time I saw you was only three months ago."

"Hmm?" Prince Haiman didn't immediately grasp the meaning of Zhang Ran's words, but then he thought of the biggest recent news regarding the Lehman Company and couldn't help but open his mouth wide: "No way, you were on the Goddess of Destiny when you returned home back then? No wonder you look like you haven't changed at all."

Seeing that Prince Haiman was still preparing to reminisce with Zhang Ran, Lin Mei hurriedly tugged on him again, signaling him to wait, to finish the business here and go back to reminisce, and that the timing now was not suitable for reminiscing.

Prince Haiman was reminded by her, looked at Zhang Ran, and asked: "By the way, you are also here to attend the Engagement; what is your relationship with President Tian? Friends?"

Zhang Ran looked at Tian Yaohui with a smile, looking at him until he was terrified, "We were friends before, but now we are half-enemies."

"One of the two people you are about to bless is my daughter, who is also your niece's ex-husband, and an ex-husband who just got divorced not long ago."
