Chapter 385: Number 5

“What’s wrong?” Her friend looked at Wu Jiaoyue with concern. She rarely lost her composure like this.

“Nothing,” Wu Jiaoyue said with a smile.

She sipped on her coffee but would glance at the other side from time to time as she pondered.

The security here was very tight. She did not expect to see her goddaughter here. How did she get in?

Sheng Yang walked over and a man pulled out a chair for her.

Wu Jiaoyue kept looking over, craning her neck to see until she got dizzy.

What was going on?

There was a man sitting opposite Sheng Yang. They hadn’t seen each other for a while, and the man’s well-defined face had become even sharper. He had a pair of dark and arrogant eyes. His gaze was cold and distant as he stared at her.

This person was ‘Number Five’ who had arranged to meet with Sheng Yang. He was also the Z who helped Sheng Yuxi clear the level.

In the game, he was all-powerful, but in front of Sheng Yang, he was completely different.

“Long time no see,” the man said. His voice was just like his voice on the phone.

“Mm-hmm.” The waiter arrived. Sheng Yang didn’t order coffee and instead ordered a glass of juice.

When the orange juice arrived, she sipped it slowly. She looked very young, and her posture was naturally cute. Who would have thought that she was talented and a big shot in many fields?

“Thank you for guiding my brother to clear the level in the game. This meal is on me.”

“With our relationship, there’s no need to thank me.” The man in black shrugged his shoulders.

Sheng Yang lowered her eyes. “It’s okay, I just won money.”

The man curled his lips. He had also watched the live broadcast of the business war and knew that she was referring to the matter with Lan Xiao.

Anyone who provoked her would not have a good ending. This was the truth.

“Your temper is still the same,” the man took a sip of tea and suddenly said. He lowered his eyes and hoped that not only was her temper the same but everything else too.

That her heart was still sealed off to everyone.

Wu Jiaoyue was still looking around when the waiter arrived. He was an old acquaintance of Wu Jiaoyue.

Wu Jiaoyue pointed at the table. “That’s my goddaughter. What’s going on?”

The waiter only said vaguely, “They seem to have known each other for quite some time. I heard something about number 5, but I don’t know what it means.”

“Okay.” Wu Jiaoyue looked up at her friend. “Give me a moment. I need to make a call.”

“Okay.”

Wu Jiaoyue went to the bathroom and gave Kang Weizhen a call. At this moment, Kang Weizhen was hosting a business meeting. However, she took a look at the name on the phone screen and decided to leave the meeting to her assistant.

“Hey, what’s up?” She didn’t sound very polite.

Although Wu Jiaoyue was very loyal, if she thought she could snatch her daughter from her, it was impossible.

Wu Jiaoyue couldn’t acknowledge Sheng Yang as her goddaughter just because her daughter was sweet and beautiful.

“Weizhen, is our daughter in a relationship?”

Confused, Kang Weizhen cursed in her heart. It was more than just being in a relationship. She adored that man a lot. However, she couldn’t tell Wu Jiaoyue, this fake godmother, about this.

“Why are you asking?”

Wu Jiaoyue sounded anxious. “I saw her on a date with a man.”

“Oh.” Kang Weizhen had yet to decide whether to tell her.

Wu Jiaoyue followed up with another question, “What does number 5 mean?”

“…” Kang Weizhen covered her face. “Our Yangyang is good at everything except this… Sigh!”
