Chapter 5 Unfamiliar (1) _1
However, the issue was not serious and would not affect her gathering tonight, but just to be safe, she drank a packet of Banlangen after breakfast.
She stayed at home in the afternoon, sleeping groggily for four hours before slowly getting up to prepare for the evening gathering.
They'd agreed to meet at "Golden Splendor" at eight in the evening, so Xia Wan'an didn't leave the house until seven thirty.
When she arrived at "Golden Splendor", it was just past eight, but the private room was already filled with several people.
The gathering was arranged by Han Zhijin, so most of the people there were his friends.
Han Zhijin was the son of Han Jingnian's older brother and called Han Jingnian 'Uncle'. He was the same age as Xia Wan'an and had been her classmate from elementary school to high school. If Han Zhijin hadn't gone abroad for college, they would have been college classmates as well.
Among Han Zhijin's friends, several were his and Xia Wan'an's high school classmates, including Song Youman who had grown up with Xia Wan'an, and Ai Jiang who became really familiar with Xia Wan'an in college even though they were already high school classmates.
When Xia Wan'an arrived, neither Song Youman nor Ai Jiang had shown up. Han Zhijin had been chatting away with his friends, but he immediately rushed over when he saw her.
Her marriage to Han Jingnian was known only to their two families and not many others. So, whenever Han Zhijin bumped into Xia Wan'an outside, he still greeted her with the same 'Good evening' as he had before.
Not long after Xia Wan'an sat down, Ai Jiang arrived. Now that someone was accompanying Xia Wan'an, Han Zhijin took off.
The number of people in the room kept increasing, but Song Youman was nowhere to be seen. Xia Wan'an couldn't resist picking up her phone and texted Song Youman, asking her where she was.
