"Then what are you doing?"
"Watching the casino."
"..."
Sheng Ning looked in surprise at the slender woman in front of her, unable to imagine what it would be like for her to go to the casino.
"Enough, donât ask me anymore." Gu Yunbo crossed her arms and sized Sheng Ning up, "Introduce yourself! If you want me to help you, at least tell me about your background clearly."
Sheng Ning covered her belly and slowly stood up, "Hello, my name is Sheng Ning, Iâm from the mainland. Iâm affiliated with the Northern District, General Union as a female comrade."
Gu Yunbo stood up abruptly, "What did you say? Youâre from the mainland? Thatâs impossible. The situation is tense now, itâs almost impossible to come over." She initially thought of Sheng Ning as merely Chinese, never considering she was from the mainland.
The most surprising thing was that she was actually from the Northern District? Is there such a coincidence in the world?
Sheng Ning gave a bitter smile, "Itâs indeed true. Because I accidentally fell into the sea and was caught by traffickers passing by." As she spoke, she scooped water from the vat with a ladle and proceeded to wash the black ash off one side of her face in front of Gu Yunbo.
Instantly, a face as exquisite as jade was revealed, even with a large belly, she was still stunningly beautiful.
"This appearance is certainly sufficient." Gu Yunbo suspiciously examined her up and down, "Youâre from the General Union, whatâs the Presidentâs name?"
"Shen Feihu." She answered without hesitation.
"Sure enough... sure enough..." Gu Yunbo couldnât maintain her composure any longer; she murmured to herself for quite a while before suddenly grabbing Sheng Ningâs shoulders and saying emotionally, "Since youâre from the General Union, do you know Meng Fan? Heâs the young president, very famous, you must know him."
"Mm!" Sheng Ning nodded, looking at her in shock, "How... how do you know Meng Fanâs name?"
"Donât worry about that, just answer my question honestly," Gu Yunbo shouted.
"I know Meng Fan." Gu Yunboâs grip was strong, Sheng Ningâs shoulders hurt from being held, she frowned and said, "Let go first, you can ask me anything."
Lin En also helped push Gu Yunbo away.
"Sorry, I lost my composure." Gu Yunbo retreated in a daze; since she decided to come to the U.S., everything about the mainland was no longer her concern.
The revenge was avenged, everything that needed closure was resolved, why does hearing the name Meng Fan still make her lose control? He should be the youngest president by now, right?
Living affectionately with Bai Tianâe, why does Gu Yunbo care so much?
"Are you alright?" Sheng Ning asked nervously, "Actually, Meng Fan has already..." Her words were abruptly interrupted by Gu Yunbo.
"Donât say anything, I donât want to know his name, whatever happens to him has nothing to do with me." Gu Yunbo took a step back, her expression cold, "I must be crazy to ask how he is! How could he be anything? The young president with endless glory doesnât need anyoneâs concern, does he?"
Sheng Ning never thought she would meet someone who knew Meng Fan a thousand miles away, and by her looks, she seemed to have an unusual relationship with Meng Fan.
"Have you been in the U.S. for a long time?" she asked cautiously.
"Came in 1978, six years now."
"No wonder." Sheng Ning muttered to herself, "No wonder you donât know, Meng Fan died, he died in 1981."
Her words cast a heavy and oppressive atmosphere over the small courtyard; Lin En didnât understand what they were talking about, she could only watch the two with wide eyes.
