"Yeah, a bunch of boring people. What's there to gather? If I knew it would be like this, I'd rather follow this psycho … that Ding Ning, right? I'd rather fight with Ding Ning to the end than come."
Although Xilin still had some grudges against Ding Ning, compared to those hypocritical classmates, this psycho was more pleasing to the eye.
Especially after this guy changed his clothes, his temperament changed greatly, completely in line with her aesthetic standards.
Moreover, she was very curious about this mysterious boyfriend of Diba's. What kind of man was he to be able to make Diba, this iron tree, blossom and be moved by him?
"This … isn't good, right?"
Diba said with some difficulty.
Ding Ning's arrival made her elated and she wished she could leave everything behind and go with him.
But she had always been a person who cared a lot about other people's feelings, especially those classmates who were full of resentment towards her. If she stood them up again this time, who knew what ugly words they would spit out.
"It really isn't good. I still have to attend the reunion. If it's convenient, can I shamelessly ask for a meal?"
Ding Ning was just thinking about how to dispel Li Mingrui's improper thoughts. How could he agree not to attend the reunion?
After all, his time in Wu City was limited. Before he left, he had to settle this matter. Otherwise, who knew what Li Mingrui would do.
Although he had never met Li Mingrui, just from the way his assistant so insidiously used Diba's jealousy and moral coercion to attend the reunion, he knew this guy was definitely a scheming person.
Although Diba was also a person who had seen big scenes, he was still too kind and didn't realize the sinister nature of people. He didn't feel at ease letting his woman be schemed against by a villain.
"Of course, no problem. Anyway, Li Mingrui is rich and overbearing. He won't care about one more pair of chopsticks."
Yuan Shanshan said happily. Although she didn't say it, she still couldn't forget Li Mingrui in her heart.
Previously, when she suggested not to attend the reunion, she also considered Diba's feelings. But because she couldn't see Li Mingrui because of this, she was still somewhat disappointed. Now that Diba opposed and Ding Ning didn't agree, she was still very happy.
Especially when she saw that her two best friends had found their own husbands, and they were both such outstanding men. It would be a lie to say she wasn't anxious. If she could really develop with Li Mingrui as Diba said, she couldn't ask for more.
"Diba, you've already arrived? Why don't you go over here? Everyone is waiting for you. I was wondering if I should arrange a car to pick you up.
No wonder Cao Cao was hailed as the fastest runner. Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrived. A tall and handsome young man with a warm smile on his face strode over.
Of course, Ding Ding was a handsome young man. Li Mingrui was a little. Although he was of of of of Cao of of of of of, Cao, Li, Cao, she, Li, of a, of the of of of of of, he was was to be. of, of Li, of Of the to King, to of Li.,
Of of of Li, had had to be, was. King of. of, of Ning to to to to to to., to,., Li..,., and, a of of of of of of., Ding, King, Li, he.,
Although Li Mingrui's smile was warm, his eyes had been fixed on Diba since he appeared. He ignored the others, and his eyes were full of possessiveness. Ding Ding quickly drew a psychological sketch of him.
His target was Diba, but it wasn't just out of love. There must be some other benefits mixed in. Perhaps it was because of Diba's fame, or perhaps Diba could bring him more benefits, or perhaps there were other unknown factors ….
His target was Diba, but it was not only because of love. There must be some other interest factors. Perhaps, it was because of Diba's fame. Perhaps, Diba could bring him more benefits. Perhaps, there were other unknown factors …
Ding Ding smiled and nodded in greeting. She was not like Yuan Shanshan, who had a crush on her. At this moment, her eyes were glued to Li Mingrui. She was not happy.
Although Li Mingrui had gotten rid of his youth and gained the charm of a mature man, his arrogant and condescending character had not changed at all.
She did not believe that Li Mingrui could not see Ding Ding, who was beside her, but he deliberately ignored her to embarrass Ding Ding.
"I haven't seen you for many years. You are getting more and more beautiful. I have seen all the films and TV works you have shot over the years and collected them. I have to say, you are a fairy born for the screen. The stage of the entertainment circle is very suitable for you."
Li Mingrui flattered Diba imperceptibly, but the meaning in his words was quite thought-provoking.
Was he paying special attention to her because he was her classmate? Or was he expressing his love in a disguised way?
Diba wasn't a fool. Although she was usually carefree like a tomboy, her EQ and IQ were both high. How could she not understand the meaning behind his words?
She immediately smiled and said modestly, "Manager Li, thank you for liking my work. I am very happy, but I really don't need to collect it. You can find it on the Internet now."
Li Mingrui's smile froze slightly. Was this a subtle refusal? The haze at the bottom of his eyes flashed away, and he soon returned to normal. He said with a smile, "That is your work. I will definitely collect it."
"I didn't expect Manager Li to be my fan. It is really an honor. My old classmate is giving me face."
Diba said with a half-genuine smile. When he said the words "old classmate", he deliberately emphasized his tone.
"It's getting late, and everyone is waiting anxiously. Let's go first."
Li Mingrui was very unhappy with her watertight answer, but he did not change his smile and said with a smile.
But he cursed in his heart, "Fuck, you are playing dumb with me. When I get you, I will deal with you."
"Oh, I forgot to introduce him to you. This is my boyfriend, Ding Ning. He specially came from Ninghai to see me. Manager Li, do you mind adding another set of chopsticks?"
Perhaps he was annoyed by Li Mingrui, or perhaps he did not want to make Ding Ning uncomfortable, although he knew that it was not good to expose their relationship now, Diba did not hesitate to introduce him like this. Not only did he introduce him, but he also took Ding Ning's arm with a happy and sweet expression on his face.
Li Mingrui's face suddenly darkened, but it was fleeting. He quickly returned to normal, reached out his hand to Ding Ning with a smile, and said with a fake smile, "I'm really sorry. Just now, I only talked with Diba and forgot to greet this friend from Ninghai. I'm really impolite."
But as a result, Ding Ning did not even look at him. He directly ignored his outstretched hand, tilted his head to look at Diba, and said with a doting face, "You, didn't we agree to hide our relationship? If this is spread, won't it affect your career? "
"What are you afraid of? At worst, if I lose my job, you can support me."
Diba said with a sweet smile.
"That won't do. Although it is not a problem for me to support you, you have your own dream. Our relationship should not become a shackle for you to pursue your dream. This is what I don't want to see."
Ding Ning's mouth seemed to be smeared with honey. Whether it was true or not, it made Diba feel unprecedented happiness. The smile on his face became sweeter. He leaned his head on Ding Ning's shoulder like a little bird and said shyly, "I'm willing. For you, I'm willing to do anything."
Both Xilin and Yuan Shanshan opened their mouths in astonishment, and their expressions became extremely strange. Was this little and helpless woman in front of them still the tough woman they knew? She was completely a naive little girl immersed in the river of love.
This style changed too fast, didn't it? Could love really make people's IQ become zero?
Li Mingrui's lungs were about to explode. No matter how scheming he was, he could not pretend under Ding Ning's disregard of him and this wave of dog food. His face was so gloomy that it could drip water. He withdrew the extremely awkward hand that was hanging in the air and quietly clenched his fist. His eyes flashed with resentment.
He was the only son, and he was born in a good family environment. Everyone treated him like a treasure and spoiled him. Because of this, he developed a domineering personality of being the only one in the world who would not go back on his word.
And he was worthy of the favoritism of the elders in his family. He was good at studying, good looking, good figure, good family conditions, and versatile. His motor nerves were also very developed. It could be said that he was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. He was superior in both literature and martial arts. He was perfect and impeccable.
Therefore, after he returned from studying at Columbia University and showed good business ability, the master of the Li Family resolutely handed over all the Li Family's business to him.
And he did not disappoint. In just a few years, he successfully listed the declining Li Family's business in the United States, developed it into a multinational group, and ranked among the top 500 domestic enterprises.
The master of the Li Family often sighed with relief. Li Mingrui was a treasure bestowed by God to the Li Family. He had a myriad of halos on him. He was an out-and-out Qilin from Heaven, a well-deserved Son of Heaven.
In the beginning, Li Mingrui would say a few humble words, but as the people of the Li Family firmly believed in him, he slowly adapted to this identity and deeply believed that he was the Son of Heaven, and no one could compare to him.
More than 20 years of smooth sailing, coupled with the praise and admiration of the family, made his originally arrogant character become even more domineering and strong. As long as he wanted something, there was nothing he could not get.
If there was one, then it was probably the only girl he liked when he was young and ignorant, Diba. That was the first time in his life that he was rejected, and also the first time in his life that someone said no to him.
The more he couldn't get her, the more he couldn't forget her. This also made this frivolous first love of his slowly change flavor, and it had already become a kind of obsession in his heart. This woman, in this life, must belong to him.
Even if he knew very well that he didn't love her as much as he imagined, and that the painstaking effort to get close to her was only to make up for the unwillingness and possessiveness in his heart, he would never allow anyone to take her away from him.
For this, he would eliminate anyone who dared to compete with him at all costs.
Tonight, he painstakingly arranged everything. Even if he had to use force, he would completely conquer this woman that he couldn't forget.
However, he had never expected that someone would appear out of nowhere. Not only did that person snatch his woman, but he also dared to ignore his existence and show off their affection in front of him. How could he tolerate that?
Taking a deep breath, Li Mingrui glanced at Ding Ning with a murderous gaze and forced himself to calm down. This man was definitely deliberately provoking him so that he would lose his composure and destroy his image in Diba's heart.
As for Diba saying that Ding Ning was her boyfriend, he didn't believe it from the bottom of his heart. After all, he had been paying attention to Diba's every move all these years, and even hired a private detective to investigate her. He didn't find any signs of her being in a relationship at all, so how could there be a boyfriend out of nowhere now?
Therefore, Li Mingrui's emotions quickly calmed down, and a warm smile appeared on his face again. He looked at Ding Ning as if he was looking at a clumsy clown.
He firmly believed that Ding Ning must be a shield that Diba found to stop him from pursuing him.
