Guan Shimeng's friend in Shanghai, Xu Fan's first reaction was Xia Xiaodie.

But couldn't Xiaodie be busy Managing XD Jewelry lately? Why would she have time to attend such a gathering?

"Okay, let's not be in a hurry then, let's just wait. There's still plenty of time," someone said.

Knowing the relationship between Guan Shimeng and Xu Fan, Liu Jin immediately agreed without hesitation when Guan Shimeng mentioned it.

"Shimeng, who is it?"

Curious at heart, Xu Fan couldn't help but ask, only for Guan Shimeng to keep him guessing this time.

Winking at Xu Fan, she said, "You'll know when she arrives. It's a real beauty."

"Alright..."

Xu Fan shrugged his shoulders, too lazy to ask further.

The group waited at the entrance of the villa for a while, and soon, they saw a chrome-plated sports car speeding towards them from a distance.

"Is that the new Silver Fox that was just released?"

As the sports car approached, some of the newcomers quickly recognized this recently launched Ferrari supercar.

This limited-edition Silver Fox wasn't something that could be bought just by having money. Everyone stared at the car, feeling somewhat baffled.

How could Guan Shimeng, a grassroots female live-streamer, know such a person of distinguished status?

Various doubts spread among the group at the time.

She knows such a big shot, so how could Guan Shimeng still hang out with a loser like that?

Could it be that in this world, there really is such a thing as true love?

Soon, the Silver Fox made a cool drift and stopped right in front of everyone.

By now, the group, unable to contain their curiosity, turned their gaze towards the person sitting inside the car.

The electric car door slowly lifted to reveal a pair of slender, jade-like legs stepping out.

"This... this..."

Following those captivating legs with their eyes, everyone was shocked when they saw the beautiful face under the cascading long hair.

"Isn't that Li Qinghe?"

Almost everyone present had just recently entered the showbiz scene. They couldn't believe the beauty stepping out of the car was who they thought.

They rubbed their eyes several times before they were willing to accept the reality before them.

Guan Shimeng actually knew such a high-profile star, causing the newcomers to redefine who she was.

If the two really had a friendship, Guan Shimeng's path in the entertainment industry would likely be smooth sailing.

"Xu Fan, are you stunned?"

Just as surprised as Liu Cancan and the others, Xu Fan stared blankly at Li Qinghe emerging from the car. It took Guan Shimeng's reminder for him to snap back to reality.

"Country bumpkin, I've never seen such a beautiful female star before," he said with an embarrassed smile, trying to brush it off.

He hadn't expected that his reunion with Li Qinghe would be under such circumstances.

Not long ago, he had found out from Zhuo Wei that Hua Entertainment, to which Li Qinghe belonged, had targeted Guan Shimeng.

Now with Li Qinghe reappearing as a friend of Guan Shimeng, Xu Fan couldn't help feeling a bit anxious.

All he could hope was that all of this was just a coincidence.

"Xiujun oppa!"

"Xiujun oppa is here too... also here!"

Just as one surprise settled, another one arose. At that moment, a young man with chestnut-colored hair stepped out of the Silver Fox sports car.

Li Xiujun, one of South Korea's hottest young actors at the moment, had been developing his career in Huaxia in recent years and had taken Jiangnan and Shanghai by storm.

While he may not be at Li Qinghe's level yet, the number of fans Li Xiujun had in Huaxia was also truly frightening.

Even among the newcomers, there were die-hard fans of his.

"Qinghe, don't tell me you and Xiujun Oppa have already..."

Li Qinghe and Li Xiujun stepped off the car together, prompting the crowd to speculate about their relationship.

"Don't get it wrong, we're just ordinary friends."

Seeing the curious glances of the crowd, Li Qinghe hurriedly explained.

She had only met him through previous film and television collaborations.

Perhaps Li Xiujun was interested in her, but she, how could she possibly be interested in him...

Thinking of the man in her mind, Li Qinghe couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.

Quickly, she shook off the thoughts from her mind and started searching the crowd, her gaze soon landing on Guan Shimeng.

The moment she saw him, she was startled.

He... how could he be here...

Earlier in the car, preoccupied with dealing with Li Xiujun, Li Qinghe had not paid much attention to the people waiting at the entrance of the villa; now, seeing Xu Fan standing beside Guan Shimeng, she was completely stunned.

For her, Xu Fan was like a distant star in the sky, unattainable. These days, to forget this man, Li Qinghe had immersed herself in work, avoiding Xu Fan, hoping to use this method to completely forget him.

But who would have thought that fate would play such a trick on her, causing her to encounter him again...

This guy really is a thorn in her side...

"Qinghe, what's wrong?"

Noticing Li Qinghe's dazed expression, Guan Shimeng asked curiously, bringing Li Qinghe back to reality.

"No...it's nothing..."

"By the way, Qinghe, let me introduce you; this is Xu Fan, my... my good friend."

Guan Shimeng then proceeded to introduce Xu Fan to Li Qinghe.

Li Qinghe listened and couldn't help but smile wryly. This nemesis of hers hardly needed an introduction.

Many times, she had almost gotten involved with him...

"Hello."

Nodding faintly toward Xu Fan, Li Qinghe considered the greetings exchanged.

Xu Fan watched, somewhat amused. Was this woman pretending not to know him...

What had he done to aggravate her this time?

This was fine, after all.

As a top celebrity in the entertainment industry today, if these people knew of his connection with Li Qinghe, it might just shock them to their core.

That included Guan Shimeng.

"Qinghe, since we are here, let's go in."

At that moment, Li Junxiu approached Li Qinghe and spoke.

Having worked in Huaxia for several years, he spoke Chinese quite well but had no desire whatsoever to get to know this group of people.

His sole focus today was on Li Qinghe alone.

"Yeah! Right, right, right! Let's all go in first!"

As the host, Liu Jin quickly stepped forward, calling out, and herded the group into the holiday villa.

Not eager to immediately seek out Li Qinghe for information on Zhuo Wei, Xu Fan followed Liu Jin into the villa with Guan Shimeng.

Looking toward Li Qinghe, one could see that she was clearly showing a face of dislike in response to Li Junxiu's flattery.

Even though he was a popular young actor of the day, Xu Fan truly couldn't imagine this attitude.

At this moment, the feeling in Li Junxiu's heart was no different from having eaten shit.
