As Diba's best friends, it was impossible for Yuan Shanshan and Xilin not to tell Diba these things.
But Diba did not get angry, did not cause trouble for her, and even took the initiative to greet her. Zhou Liwen could not compare to him in terms of breadth of mind and bearing.
This caused him to like Diba even more. Even if she couldn't accept the fact that he had multiple wives and concubines and wanted to leave him, he would absolutely not agree.
But he did not know that Li Mingrui had the same thoughts as him at this moment. The more outstanding Diba performed, the more magnanimous and generous he was, the more he felt that only she was worthy of him. Even if he had to use any means, he had to get her.
So, when he accidentally discovered that Li Mingrui was looking at Diba as if he was looking at his wife, he was so angry that his face turned green.
This boy really did not give up until he reached the Yellow River. Diba was already showing affection to him like this, but he still did not know when to retreat.
With his strength, it was not difficult for him to kill Li Mingrui silently, let alone beat him until he did not dare to think about Diba.
But he had his own bottom line. In terms of feelings, using force was falling into a disadvantageous position. It was also a sign of lack of confidence.
Even if others did not say anything, he would look down on himself if he did that. Moreover, he had the overall advantage now. What was the difference between using force and a hooligan? That wasn't his style and style.
But he did not expect that although he disdained using force, Li Mingrui had long wanted to kill him and even planned to get Diba by any means necessary.
This could not be blamed for underestimating his enemy. It could only be said that although he had killed countless people, he was still a law-abiding citizen and preferred the peaceful life with the law.
He had long been used to the days where the weak were prey to the strong. But in his heart, he hoped that the world could have less killing and more harmony.
What's more, in his opinion, although Li Mingrui was overbearing, he was just an ordinary businessman after all. Moreover, he seemed to be living a good life. How could he risk going to jail or even the death penalty to kill someone for the sake of feelings?
Unfortunately, he wasn't Li Mingrui, so he couldn't understand at all. For a person who had never been rejected by anyone, who thought that the whole world revolved around him, and who was extremely conceited and proud, only one girl had ever said "no" to him in his life. What kind of blow and humiliation was that?
If he could not conquer the other party, he would be traumatized for the rest of his life. He was a paranoid person with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Not to mention killing, he would even do something more cruel.
Facts had proven that the celebrity effect had its own unique charm no matter what kind of group it was.
Li Mingrui, who everyone had been singing praises about before, was now reduced to the background. Apart from a few students who wanted to take advantage of him, most of the people gathered around Diba and asked him questions. After all, the life of a celebrity was full of novelty and mystery to them.
If it was in the past, Li Mingrui would definitely feel very uncomfortable if he didn't become the center of attention. But today, he didn't feel unhappy at all. Instead, he looked very happy.
At the very least, that damned shield wouldn't be able to get close to Diba. This made him feel very happy.
Ding Ning didn't think too much about it. He was bored to death and looked around the environment.
It had to be said that Li Mingrui had put in a lot of effort for this class reunion. The private room was very large, and a huge dining table that could accommodate 50 people at the same time took up half of the room.
The main color of the decoration was platinum, and the palatial chandelier emitted a hazy radiance, illuminating the room with gold and jade, but it was elegant and extraordinary, making people feel as if they were in a palace.
There were 10 sets of Italian leather sofas scattered around the room, and silver teapots and teacups were placed on the black and white coffee table. It looked extremely high-class.
In addition, there was a piano, a bar filled with all kinds of alcohol, four automatic mahjong tables, and even a wall that was completely covered by a huge LED screen. There was also a song ordering device under the screen …
As long as it was a way to relax and entertain, this place basically had everything.
Ding Ning secretly praised. How was this a restaurant? It was simply a leisure bar that combined dining and entertainment.
"Clap, clap, clap!"
Li Mingrui clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention. Then he said with a smile, "My old classmates, we have gathered here again after being separated for ten years. Let's not always surround the big star and ask about his well-being. It's getting late. I guess everyone should be hungry. Let's hurry up and take a seat."
"Haha, yes, let's hurry up and take a seat. Boss Li is the host today, so everyone must give face to Boss Li."
Sun Deqian was the first to respond and shouted with a smile.
"Come, come, come, come, sit down quickly. This is a five-star hotel. Let's also bask in Boss Li's glory today and eat some foreign meat."
The old class monitor, Kong Lingxi, also joked with a smile.
"I usually don't dare to come in such a high-class hotel."
A student laughed in a self-deprecating manner and walked toward the dining table.
"Boss Li is really generous. So many class reunions have been held, but this is the highest grade."
Li Yu winked at Li Mingrui and sat down leisurely while swaying her hips. The swaying was so big that it made people worried, lest she accidentally break her waist.
"Shameless slut!"
Zhang Mei cursed in a low voice with an unhappy face. Although her voice was very low, it was quiet at this time, so most people heard it clearly.
Li Yu's face changed, but she quickly recovered and pretended that she didn't hear it.
Ding Ning looked at Zhang Mei and Li Yu with great interest. He always felt that Li Yu seemed to be very tolerant of Zhang Mei. There must be a story behind it.
"They had a good relationship when they were at school, but later, Zhang Mei's boyfriend fell in love with Li Yu and dumped her to pursue Li Yu. Although Li Yu refused, Zhang Mei hated her and spread the rumor that Li Yu was shameless and promiscuous all day long. Li Yu couldn't defend herself and was pointed at by others. Later, she simply broke the vase and wore heavy makeup all day long, looking frivolous. But she was not as shameless as Zhang Mei said. She was still very conservative. In fact, she was quite wronged."
Yuan Shanshan seemed to see Ding Ning's curiosity and explained in a low voice in his ear.
Ding Ning suddenly understood. When he looked at Li Yu again, the look in his eyes changed a little.
Before, he had a very bad impression of this realistic and mean woman, but he didn't expect that there was such a reason.
Zhang Mei was extremely hostile to him and always opposed him tit for tat, but she tolerated it as much as she could. It seemed that she still cherished the friendship with Zhang Mei.
A poor person must have something hateful about her.
Zhang Mei seemed to be the victim, but in fact, she was the most hateful one. After all, Li Yu was the real victim, and her reputation was ruined because of the rumor she made.
Ding Ning shook his head with a bitter smile. The world of women was too complicated. It was hard to say who was right and who was wrong. But after so many years, Zhang Mei was still unforgiving, which was a bit too much.
This was just a small episode, and Ding Ning didn't want to mediate. It was not something he could intervene in.
The problem now was how to sit. Li Mingrui had a high prestige among this group of students, and he was the organizer of the party, so everyone consciously left the main seat to him.
Among the students in the class, only Li Mingrui and Diba were the most promising, so the seat next to Li Mingrui was naturally left to Diba.
This put Diba in a difficult position. She didn't want to sit next to Li Mingrui, but in front of so many students, she couldn't be so obvious. Although she was smart, she was also in a dilemma at this moment.
Li Mingrui looked as usual, but he was secretly complacent. This kind of thing didn't need him to deliberately do anything, and Diba naturally should sit next to him.
Not only did he think so, but other people also thought so. Some people even said half-jokingly that they were a perfect match.
Yuan Shanshan's expression became more and more gloomy. She had always been a self-respecting girl and would never compare herself with others. However, the person she liked was pursuing her best friend. This situation made her feel as if a seasoning bottle had been knocked over, and her mood was mixed with mixed feelings.
Xilin glanced at Ding Ning, who was calm as if nothing had happened, gloating over his misfortune. She wanted to see how he would deal with the first wave of attack from his rival in love.
Ding Ning noticed her gaze and couldn't help but laugh in his heart. It was just a seat. It didn't matter where he sat. He really didn't care. After all, sitting together didn't mean anything. He really didn't believe that Li Mingrui dared to touch Diba in public.
But Xilin's gaze was tantamount to a disguised provocation, and it also aroused the arrogance in his bones. He was calm, not a coward.
"Come, Diba, sit next to me. I don't know anyone here. As half a host, you can't ignore me."
So, under everyone's dumbfounded gaze, Ding Ning naturally and casually waved at Diba with a smile.
Diba smiled, walked to his side and sat down. "I was busy chatting with the students just now, and forgot to introduce you."
"No need for introduction. Wine is the best medium. You'll naturally know each other when you drink it later."
Ding Ning smiled and said in a relaxed tone.
He turned his gaze to Li Mingrui, who had a livid face, and said with a smile, "Boss Li, won't you be stingy with a few glasses of wine?"
"Of course, as long as you have the capacity, just drink as much as you want."
A cold light flashed in Li Mingrui's eyes. Although he wanted to kill Ding Ning in his heart, he squeezed a smile on his face and said meaningfully.
He thought, "Don't you want to drink? Then I'll let you drink enough. When you're drunk, I'll see how you embarrass yourself. "
"Boss Li, you're so forthright. I'm determined to make friends with you."
Ding Ning gave him a thumbs-up and said with a face full of admiration. He looked so sincere as if what he said was true.
Hearing this, Diba just wanted to laugh, but he was too embarrassed to laugh out. He lowered his head and twitched all over. "This guy, he deserves to be a movie king. No one can see anything wrong with his performance."
Xilin's eyes showed a strange light. She didn't expect this guy to solve this problem so easily. It seemed that he had some skills.
Yuan Shanshan glanced at Ding Ning with a complicated look and felt even more depressed. "Why does such an excellent man like Diba? Am I so bad?"
After all, Li Mingrui was very shrewd. Even if he knew that Ding Ning was acting, he could only suppress his anger, showed a bright smile, and ordered Assistant Wang, "Assistant Wang, ask the waiter to serve the wine. Give me two boxes of Feitian Maotai first."
"Yes!"
In order to create a free atmosphere, even the hotel's waiters were turned away. The task of running errands could only fall on Assistant Wang.
"Two boxes? I just praised Boss Li for being forthright, and now you start to be petty. This is a class reunion. How can two boxes of wine be enough for so many people? "
Since Ding Ning had taken action, he naturally wouldn't let it go so easily. He said with some dissatisfaction.
