Chapter 498

Splash!

Pulling open the door, the sound caught the attention of the front desk staff inside.

Seeing a young man and woman, both still wearing thick yukatas, she immediately understood they were guests from another hot spring inn.

"Hello, may I ask what brings you two here?"

"Yes. My name is Mao Li Lan, and my father, Mao Li Xiaowu Lang, is holding a class reunion at this hot spring inn. I've come to find him."

The staff member didn't even need to check the register to know, as only six guests had made reservations for this weekend, and one of them was Mao Li Xiaowu Lang.

"Please come in; your father is in the main hall."

"Thank you."

Mao Li Lan thanked her and, together with Ren Amamiya, changed into indoor slippers and walked toward the main hall.

Indeed, the time has already passed when she entered the main hall and saw her father and the others gathered together, looking at something unknown.

Mao Li Lan quietly approached and patted her father, whose demeanor was strangely gloomy.

"!? "

Mao Li Xiaowu Lang was startled; turning around, he saw his beloved daughter standing right behind him, which was a pleasant surprise. But the boy wearing glasses standing beside his beloved daughter was a shock to his heart.

"You were startled, weren't you, Father?"

Seeing his daughter's happy expression, Mao Li Xiaowu Lang felt as though he were having a heart attack; he truly thought this daughter would scare him into a serious condition.

"Xiao Lan, how did you get here?"

"Because I ran into Aunt Youmei earlier and learned that you all were coming to this hot spring inn for a class reunion this weekend, I thought to suggest something, and my suggestion was approved. So, our club's off-campus activity location for this weekend is this hot spring inn."

Good heavens, that reason was truly made up on the spot.

Almost everyone present couldn't help but form such thoughts in their minds.

You must know that recently, due to rising prices, domestic travel has become far more expensive than international travel. Deciding on a weekend trip based on a casual suggestion—what kind of financial situation allows that?

"No wonder. Yuanzi didn't come today?"

"She's here too. We just finished soaking in the hot spring, and Yuanzi is still lounging on the massage chair, refusing to get up. I thought I'd come check on Father, and Lian Lian accompanied me."

Mao Li Lan explained with a smile.

The very sufficient explanation and reason calmed Mao Li Xiaowu Lang's emotions somewhat; fortunately, it wasn't what he had imagined.

Noticing Mao Li Xiaowu Lang's intentions, Chuankenan rolled his eyes directly.

He is Yuanzi's boyfriend, you old man; what exactly are you thinking?

Even knowing the relationship between Yuanzi and Xiao Lan, one would know such a thing is utterly unrealistic.

"Ren Amamiya, this is our third meeting, Mr. Mao Li."

Ren Amamiya spoke quietly, like a shy boy; his voice wasn't loud, yet every word could be heard clearly.

"Ah, hello."

After the self-introduction, Ren Amamiya's gaze swept over everyone present, then he spoke with a hint of apology:

"Although it may be somewhat rude, Mr. Mao Li, this class reunion of yours may encounter trouble."

"Trouble?"

Mao Li Xiaowu Lang couldn't help but frown; he didn't understand the meaning of that statement.

Ren Amamiya took in this unease clearly; he offered no explanation, simply made a grasping motion, and then a tarot card appeared in his hand.

"Death has already arrived at this class reunion. Mr. Mao Li, I fear this reunion of yours may be stained with some bright red."

"Hah!?"

Mao Li Xiaowu Lang's face changed; his bad temper instantly surged, and he couldn't hold back, standing up directly.

"Father!"

But the next second, Mao Li Xiaowu Lang, who had almost stood up, was pushed back down directly by his daughter.

"Lian Lian, although sometimes his words are unpleasant, his divination is very accurate. Just listen to what he says first."

Mao Li Xiaowu Lang, forcibly pressed back into his seat, felt as though his shoulders were being crushed by a crane; the sudden violence made his shoulders throb with pain.

However, for the moment, Mao Li Xiaowu Lang had no way to dwell on the question of how Xiao Lan's strength had increased so much.

He could only temporarily focus his attention on the words spoken by this arrogant young man before him.

"Alright... listening is fine."
