After saying this, Liu Yue looked at Zhang Chun with a face full of anticipation.
The next moment, Zhang Chun pushed her away and walked toward Ning Meng. "Mrs. Huo, listen to me. I don't know her well. She's not my date …"
"??"
Liu Yue's eyes widened in shock as she looked at Ning Meng in disbelief.
She … she was Mrs. Huo?
Liu Yue gulped. She wanted to say something, but she did not know what to say. Zhang Chun was afraid of getting involved with Ning Meng, so he kept his distance from her. He lowered his head and bowed in front of Ning Meng. He did not have the arrogance that he had in front of Ning Meng.
Ning Meng glanced at Liu Yue in disdain and turned to Ning Zhi. "Brother, chase her away. I'm annoyed."
No matter how stupid Ning Zhi was, he knew that he had been tricked.
He nodded.
Before Ning Meng could say anything, Zhang Chun shouted at the security guards who were maintaining order. "Hurry up and chase her out!"
Two security guards came to Liu Yue's side.
Liu Yue broke down and said to Ning Meng, "Mrs. Huo, this distant brother of yours is using your name to swindle people. Aren't you going to do anything about it?"
How could someone like Mrs. Huo have a brother like Ning Zhi?
She could not afford to offend Mrs. Huo. Even someone like Zhang Chun was trying to please her. If she offended Mrs. Huo, she would not be able to survive in this industry!
She thought that Ning Zhi was Ning Meng's distant relative. As long as she said that it was Ning Zhi's fault, she would be able to turn things around.
She did not expect that Ning Meng would laugh when she said this. "He's my biological brother."
Liu Yue was confused.
Biological brother?
How could that be?
How could Mrs. Huo's biological brother be an idiot who only had 100,000 RMB a month?!
While Liu Yue was still confused, someone beside her said, "Oh, so he's Mrs. Huo's brother. I heard that the Ning family's situation is quite unique. Ning Wentao likes his daughter and neglects his son. This son of his has no sense of existence at all. "
Liu Yue's eyes narrowed when she heard this. She knew that she could not make a comeback this time. She could only shout at Ning Zhi. "You liar! To put it nicely, you're a second-generation rich kid. But other than that, what else do you have?! You have no say in this family at all! You have neither looks nor money. You're not a man at all!! "
Ning Zhi: "…"
Ning Meng was speechless. She simply could not understand this woman's train of thought.
She was obviously a gold digger. In the end, how did it become Ning Zhi's fault?
She couldn't be bothered to talk to Liu Yue anymore. She gave the security guards a look, and the two security guards grabbed Liu Yue's arms and dragged her out.
The banquet was huge. People like Huo Beichen and the others did not care about such trivial matters. After Liu Yue was dragged out, everyone dispersed.
Ning Zhi stood there in low spirits with his head lowered. His whole person exuded a sense of decadence.
Ning Meng patted his shoulder and asked, "Brother, are you alright?"
Ning Zhi waved his hand. "I'm fine."
After saying that, he passed the phone to Ning Meng and said, "Help me keep this phone. I'm going to the bathroom to wash my face."
Ning Meng nodded.
Huo Beichen was the center of the banquet.
On the other hand, Li Yichen was the center of the small circle.
Recently, Li Yichen had invested in a lot of projects. He had become an upstart in the business world, and there were countless people trying to please him.
The whole banquet was filled with people toasting each other. The elegant men gathered together and said hypocritical words. No one could see the sincerity in their faces.
As an upstart in the business world, Li Yichen was different from Huo Beichen. Huo Beichen could be high and mighty, but Li Yichen did not want to offend this group of people. Although he was like a fish in the water at the banquet, he was a little tired after going around.
When he finally managed to get away from the crowd, he saw Ning Meng, who was waiting outside the washroom out of boredom.
She wore a tight-fitting white gown that wrapped around her graceful body. She stood there elegantly like a fairy.
The people around her were secretly talking about her, but they did not dare to go up to her and flatter her.
Li Yichen could see that although the girl looked calm, she was actually very impatient with this kind of hypocritical social interaction. Her peach blossom eyes occasionally looked a little mischievous.
Her high heels seemed to be a little uncomfortable. Her footsteps were slightly paused, and her frequent small movements made her look very cute.
Li Yichen's eyes darkened.
Coincidentally, there were two women beside him discussing in low voices.
"Mrs. Huo is really beautiful. I think she's even more beautiful than the celebrities. But I remember that Mr. Huo did not treat her well in the past. Do you remember that one year ago, Mrs. Huo also came to this banquet? She kept trying to get close to Mr. Huo. In the end, Mr. Huo left early to avoid her."
"Yes. I also heard that Mr. Huo is a little weird. He has not touched Mrs. Huo since he got married, and he does not allow her to fool around outside. So, Mrs. Huo is still a virgin."
"How did you know?"
"Mrs. Huo said it herself. Three months ago, she said that if Mr. Huo did not change his attitude, she would jump off a building!"
"No wonder Mr. Huo brought her here this time. I didn't know that just now, I accidentally went closer and heard their conversation. Mrs. Huo said, 'Lord Chen, do you know who my dream lover is? This couple must be a marriage of convenience. '"
Li Yichen was confused.
Ning Meng was already married, so he should not disturb her. But if this was a marriage of convenience, then …
Li Yichen's eyes lit up.
Just as he was wondering if it would be a good idea to just rush up and greet him, a voice came from beside him: "Brother Chen."
Li Yichen turned his head and saw Su Tiantian walking over.
Su Tiantian had put in a lot of effort to get Cao Xuehua's help to get the invitation to this banquet. After she entered, she stayed by Li Yichen's side.
She had been suppressed by the entertainment industry these days, and she had finally realized how important Li Yichen was to her.
So, she had come here to pretend to be pitiful to gain sympathy.
She kept a suitable distance from Li Yichen. When Li Yichen turned his head to look at her, she lowered her eyes and said, "Brother Chen, I know I was wrong. I've let you down in the past. I didn't trust you enough. That's why we're in this situation now."
Li Yichen was getting impatient. "It's all in the past."
Su Tiantian raised her head. "But Brother Chen, I can't let you go."
Li Yichen laughed coldly. "Shouldn't you be worried about Liu Xinlei the most?"
Su Tiantian's heart skipped a beat.
Li Yichen continued, "Oh, or should I say, that Director Li?"
Su Tiantian's heart sank.
So, he knew everything.
Su Tiantian pursed her lips and decided not to pretend anymore. "I'm here today because I want you to help me one last time for the sake of our past relationship."
Li Yichen looked down. "Speak."
Su Tiantian said, "Can you help me make peace with Ning Meng? Ask her to stop targeting me and oppressing me! From now on, we will not cross each other's paths. "
Li Yichen was stunned.
After a while, he sneered. "I'll talk to her."
Su Tiantian nodded.
Ning Zhi had been in there for a long time, and Ning Meng was getting bored waiting. She wanted to leave, but Ning Zhi's phone was still in her hands. It would not be good to just leave like that.
Just as she was waiting, her vision darkened.
She looked up and saw Li Yichen standing in front of her.
Ning Meng was stunned.
Li Yichen was indeed the male protagonist of the novel. Every time they met, he was more mature and charming. But, what was he doing here? Was he going to the toilet?
Ning Meng quietly moved to the side to make room for him.
Unfortunately, Li Yichen did not move. Instead, he stood in front of her and said, "Hello, Miss Ning."
"??"
She smiled awkwardly. "Hello."
Li Yichen continued, "I'm here to talk about Su Tiantian …"
Hearing this, Ning Meng understood.
Although she did not want Huo Beichen and Li Yichen to have a conflict, if Li Yichen was still protecting Su Tiantian, then she was not a kind person.
Ning Meng was about to retort when she heard Li Yichen's next words. "She has nothing to do with me. You don't have to worry about me."
"??"
The hostility that had just been brewing disappeared just like that.
She let out a gasp, and Li Yichen's gaze fell on her phone. "Miss Ning, can you help me?"
"What is it?"
"I need 200 yuan for my WeChat. Can you transfer it to me?"
"??"
WeChat?
She instinctively took out her phone. "Sure."
Ning Zhi's phone did not have a password. She opened his WeChat and was about to do something when Li Yichen extended his hand and scanned his QR code.
After adding him as a friend, Li Yichen said, "Agree."
"??"
She instinctively agreed, and Li Yichen turned to leave. "Keep in touch."
"???"
After Li Yichen had walked far away, she suddenly realized that the lack of money was just a way for Li Yichen to add her on WeChat!
She wanted to say that this WeChat was not hers, but before she could say anything, Li Yichen had already walked far away.
It was not appropriate for them to talk for too long at such a business event.
Ning Zhi washed his face and looked at himself in the mirror for a long time.
It was impossible to say that he was not sad.
Liu Yue's words were like a needle that pierced deep into his heart.
He, Ning Zhi, was a good-for-nothing.
His studies had been poor since he was young, and he had been neglected at home. The only good thing about him was that he could take a beating. However, this was not a good thing.
He clenched his jaw and splashed a handful of cold water on his face, sighing.
He looked at the mirror and sorted out his emotions for a long time. Finally, a confident look appeared on his face. However, no one knew that his self-esteem had just been smashed into pieces.
After coming out, he took the phone and separated from Ning Meng, sighing.
At this moment, his phone vibrated.
He looked down and saw a WeChat message.
LYC: [You look beautiful today.]
Ning Zhi:??
He abruptly raised his head and looked around the lady's side. His eyes immediately lit up.
He had said that he, Ning Zhi, was still very charming. Now, someone had come to hit on him.
He laughed and replied.
I'm Not a Lemon: [Thank you.]
