In a vast sea of people, we meet by chance, and you are here too (1w + small theater gift)

  "In my eyes, you are the best. The men who haven't noticed you have poor eyesight." Jian Yi's eyes were filled with tender and gentle gaze, and he suddenly smiled, "Isn't this statement contradictory? I think that men who don't see your good qualities have poor eyesight, but when there are men paying attention to you, I become unbearably jealous."

  Song Yu had a good laugh, the corners of his lips softly blooming, just like a pure and beautiful lily suddenly added a delicate pink color, making the whole world brighten up.

  Jian Yi's heart skipped a beat as he looked at her, and he couldn't help but lower his head to kiss the corner of her lips.

  Upstairs, Guan Xiaolin opened the window and clearly saw the movements of the two people. She took out her mobile phone, zoomed in on the lens, and took several photos in a row.

  As she saw the two embracing, her expression grew colder.

  Jian Yi was already gone, she didn't expect that even Qi Chengzhi would be so attentive to Song Yu.

  Today, Qi Chengzhi expressed his requirements, which had already shocked her beyond measure.

  Just as she was about to leave, someone had already walked to the door, but was stopped by Qi Chengzhi, who warned her: "In the future, stay away from Song Yu a bit, and don't use those despicable tricks on her again."

  Thinking of Qi Chengzhi's warning, Guan Xiaolin was already furious and trembling all over.

  Song Yu and Jian Yi parted ways, when they returned home, Guan Xiaolin was already gone, she left at some point without them noticing.

  ……

  ……

  The next day, Song Yu and Manager Wang took Little Chen together to Qilin to sign a contract.

  Unlike last time, when only Cheng Dongge came with a lawyer, this time Qi Chengzhi also came in person.

  This made Manager Wang extremely pleased and surprised. As a small department manager, he was actually able to get the CEO of Qilin to come over in person when signing the contract.

  Unconsciously, Manager Wang associated it with the rumors in the company about Song Yu and Qi Chengzhi.

  It seems that the relationship between these two people is really unusual, Qi Chengzhi indeed has a different view of Song Yu, otherwise this signing, there would be no need to bother Qi Chengzhi to come out in person.

  Unconsciously, Manager Wang looked up to Song Yu by several points and was also subtly drawing closer to her, showing her much care.

  This contract was signed very smoothly and there were no more unexpected events.

  After signing the contract, Manager Wang politely flattered a few words and saw Song Yu off.

  Zi Chengzhi sat in the conference room and still heard Manager Wang say to Song Yu outside: "Little Song, thanks to you for signing this contract. How about going out for dinner tonight to celebrate? I'll treat. Wang Chao can't afford it, but Sheng Yue is definitely okay."

  "Manager Wang, sorry, I have an appointment tonight." Song Yu said, unintentionally revealing a bit of her little girl's coquettishness.

  Manager Wang looked at her and knew she wasn't making excuses to reject him, probably really had an appointment. He burst out laughing loudly, "Having a date with your boyfriend! That's great, that's great, I won't join in the fun then, we'll catch up another time."

  Then their voices gradually faded away.

  The three words "boyfriend" made Qi Cheng furrow his brow, his face darkening as he pulled out his phone, the photo that slid out was of Song Yu and Jian Yi embracing in the building lobby last night.

  Zi Cheng's gaze was sharp as if he wanted to stare through the phone screen, his face frozen in a cold and hard expression.

  This woman, for a moment didn't pay attention and he took her out like a floating willow catkin!

  Zi Chengzhi's gloomy mood made him take out a cigarette, light it up and take a hard drag, but still felt unrelieved. He picked up his phone to look at the photos, only to feel more annoyed, so he deleted them all and threw the phone away.

  ……

  ……

  Today was her first formal date with Jian Yi, before getting off work, Song Yu secretly went to the bathroom to touch up her makeup.

  "Wow, so beautiful, a date?" Ruan Dan Chen poked her and asked in a low voice.

  Song Yu's face turned red as she said: "It's just celebrating that I successfully won over Qi Lin's business."

  "Stuff it, just stuff it!" Ruan Dan Chen glared at her.

  So, Song Yu left the company with a red face, and Jian Yi's car was parked at the door, waiting for her in front of the vehicle.

  She walked up to Jian Yi, and in response to Jian Yi's unreservedly possessive gaze of "this is my girlfriend", she smiled awkwardly.

  Before they broke through the window paper, when they met, they didn't feel so awkward, like friends joking around, and both were still acting quite naturally.

  After they confirmed their relationship, things felt different, and Song Yu somehow didn't dare look him straight in the eye anymore.

  Her lovely appearance made Jian Yi's heart flutter, suppressing the turmoil in his chest. He opened the passenger door and said, "Get in."

  Song Yu sat down and waited for Jian Yi to start the car, then she asked: "Where are we going?"

  "Go celebrate, our first date and you successfully got the Qi Lin's business," Jian Yi said.

  Driving the car, Jian Yi stretched out his right hand and grasped hers.

  Song Yu looked at her own hand being wrapped in his, the warmth of his palm scorching the back of her hand, trembling slightly, but not pulling away.

  The two were sweet and didn't notice a Jaguar behind them. At first, it was also stopped at the entrance of Chengshi, and after Junwei left, the Jaguar followed suit, sticking to the back of Junwei all the way.

  ……

  ……

  "Cheng Shao, Zhang Zong and the others are already at the restaurant. When will you arrive?" Qi Chengzhi, wearing a Bluetooth headset, received a call from Cheng Dongge.

  "I'm not going tonight, you call Chenglin to accompany him." Qi Chengzhi said and hung up the phone, encountering a red light, he stopped.

  An SUV speeding over from the opposite lane, a flash and it's gone.

  "I think I just saw Chengzhi." Yan Beicheng turned his head back from the passenger seat of the Benz.

  Wei Zilin drove and looked around through the rearview mirror, saying: "I didn't see the Land Rover!"

  "It's not a victory, it's a jaguar." Only when it was out of sight did Yan Beicheng withdraw his gaze.

  "You must be mistaken, he doesn't drive a Jaguar," Wei Zirong said, not taking it seriously.

  "But I think it's quite similar." Yan Beicheng didn't give up and directly called Qi Chengzhi.

  The red light turned green and Qi Chengzhi immediately drove off, closely following behind. Another call came in, and Qi Chengzhi was getting a bit impatient.

  "What's going on?" Yan Beicheng asked.

  "On the road." Zhi Cheng pursed his lips.

  "Where are you going?" asked Yan Beicheng again.

  "I don't know." Qi Cheng followed closely behind Jun Wei.

  "...Yanbei City was speechless for a moment, "What kind of car did you drive today?"

  "...". Qi Cheng hung up the phone.

  Yanbei City stared at her phone, unresponsive for half a day.

  "What's wrong?" Wei Zilin looked at him.

  "I just asked him what car he was driving, and he hung up on me." Yan Beicheng had no idea what Qi Chengzhi was thinking.

  ……

  ……

  Zi Chengzhi parked the car at the entrance of Sheng Yue, saw Jian Yi and Song Yu being led to their seats by the waiter, Jian Yi ordered a private room, he could see clearly from the car.

  Zi Cheng poked at his phone a few times and dialed Chang Ye's number, "Now drive the car to the entrance of Sheng Yue."

  Then, dialed another number, "It's me. How have you been with your boyfriend lately? Nothing, I came to Shengyue to see clients and happened to see him coming out of a restaurant with a woman, holding hands and touching faces."

  Qī Chéngzhī said, as he looked inside, Jiǎn Yì was holding the menu and ordering food, and Sòng Yuě was quite well-behaved and didn't have any physical contact with him.

  Jian Yi had ordered all of Song Yu's favorite dishes, and seeing that Jian Yi remembered her usual preferences so clearly, a soft feeling arose in Song Yu's heart.

  Jian Yi took out his phone and made a note on the calendar, saying to Song Yu: "This is our first formal date, I have to remember it. From now on, we'll have another anniversary."

  He was just about to put it away when the phone rang, and Jian Yi's expression slightly sank.

  "What's wrong?" Song Yu asked, seeing his expression was off.

  Jian Yi let out a helpless sigh, "The company's phone, I don't know what's going on again, I'll go answer it."

  The restaurant was noisy with people's voices, so Jian Yi went out to answer the phone.

  He answered the phone with great skill, and a lot of dishes were served one after another.

  Song Yu and others waited without eating first, but only looked through the glass window of the dining hall at Jian Yi's back as he made a phone call outside the door.

  He said, turning sideways, and Song Yu could still see his somewhat serious profile.

  It wasn't clear if he had sensed her gaze, but Jian Yi turned around and looked in her direction, meeting her eyes directly.

  Caught peeking and having stared a bit too intensely just now, Song Yu felt somewhat embarrassed.

  Jian Yi smiled warmly at her, and his originally stern face instantly softened. He paused for a moment, turned his head away, and then said something else in a serious tone.

  It wasn't until another ten or so minutes had passed that Jian Yi returned, and the warmth on his body was once again replaced by the chill from outside.

  He sat down, looking unwell and apologetic: "Song Song, something urgent came up at the company and I have to go back. I won't be able to stay here. I just spent a long time talking to them on the phone, but they wouldn't agree to let me off."

  "It doesn't matter, let's hurry back then." Song Yu smiled understandingly.

  "Today was originally supposed to be our date, such an important day, I had it all planned out." Jian Yi said with some annoyance.

  "I also often get called back to work overtime by the company, I can understand that, it's no big deal." Song Yu's hand reached out towards Jian Yi, hesitated for a moment, and then lightly touched the tip of Jian Yi's finger.

  As if scalded, her fingertips trembled for a moment, but she resolutely did not withdraw them.

  Jian Yi's warm smile, he turned his hand over and grasped Song Yu's hand, his fingertips gently rubbing against her fingers.

  "That dish is ready, let's get the waiter to pack it and I'll send you home," Jian Yi said.

  "It's okay." Song Yu looked at the waiter and ordered two more dishes. After the waiter left, he said, "I'll eat slowly here, if I pack it up to take home, the flavor won't be right. It just so happens that if you're done with work and I'm still here, you can come pick me up. If I finish eating and you're still working overtime, then I'll just head back home myself."

  Jian Yi furrowed his brow, "Leaving you alone here——"

  "It's okay." Song Yu smiled and urged, "You hurry up and go, drive carefully on the road, don't drive too fast at night."

  Jian Yi nodded slightly, "Okay."

  He stood up, hesitated for a moment, leaned over across the table and lightly kissed Song Yu's cheek.

  Chi Cheng's action of lighting a cigarette paused, the corner of his mouth coldly hooked up, and he continued to light the cigarette, taking a deep drag, seeing Jian Yi come out of the restaurant.

  Song Yu ate her meal alone, to be honest, all around were couples or lively family gatherings, only this table had just her, eating alone was really not very tasty.

  Song Yu felt out of place among so many people, and wasn't comfortable eating either. He simply took out his phone and started browsing the internet with his head down, eating while he browsed and not paying attention to what was going on around him.

  Her cheek was still warm and tingling from the gentle kiss, just like the popping candy she used to eat as a child, jumping on her cheek.

  "Song Yu, long time no see." A cold and arrogant female voice, with a hint of disdain, echoed above her head.

  Song Yu was taken aback and lifted her head, but before she could see clearly, the other person had already sat down opposite her, coldly scanning the dishes on the table.

  "Song Yu, remember me?" Qi Chengyue looked at her coldly, with an attitude of superiority.

  Song Yu put down his chopsticks and sat up straight, nodding slightly with a hint of coolness, "Miss Qi, what a coincidence."

  "What bad luck." Qi Chengyue sneered, "I came specifically looking for you."

  Song Yu was stunned and didn't speak, unable to understand why Qi Chengyue had come looking for her.

  When they were young, the two had met a few times, mostly when she was visiting the Qi family. Sometimes Qi Chengyue would also go, but the two couldn't play together, so they never became familiar with each other.

  "After we went bankrupt, our family had no contact with you again. I didn't expect that so many years have passed and you've changed so much, even willing to be a home wrecker, inserting yourself into other people's relationships. The old you seemed quite noble, disdainful of such behavior. Was it because you hid it too well before, or is it because our family circumstances worsened and your character also deteriorated?" Qi Chengyue looked at her coldly, each word mocking, his mouth corners unable to even form a cold smile.

  Song Yu furrowed her brow, sizing up Qi Chengyue. As the young lady of the Qi family, she was more refined than anyone else, from inside to outside, from clothing to temperament, all like a textbook example of a noblewoman.

  "I don't understand what you mean," Song Yu said in a low voice.

  "Jian Yi is my boyfriend, do you understand now?" Qi Cheng Yue sneered, "We're even discussing when to get engaged, it's gotten to the point where we're talking about marriage, and I'm planning to bring him back to meet my parents."

  "Before that, Jian Yi took good care of you in many ways, I knew all about it, but I never interfered because I know he has a sense of propriety. With a girlfriend like me, anyone with a normal mind wouldn't abandon me to chase after you. He might have liked you, perhaps just a temporary infatuation."

  "You only bring him temporary pleasure, but I can bring him status, power, and family background. So no matter what, he will never leave me. Today I'm here to remind you that don't waste your youth on him, also please take care of yourself, stay away from other people's men."

  "I had no idea he had a girlfriend, if he has a girlfriend, what's the point of confessing to me?" Song Yu frowned.

  As soon as Song Yu heard Qi Chengyue's words, his heart sank and he couldn't help but feel a blow.

  But she thought, she hadn't asked Jian Yi about this matter, and she trusted Jian Yi. Without verifying it first, maybe Qi Chengyue had always liked Jian Yi and deliberately came to tell her so.

  It's not entirely impossible for something like this to happen.

  "We've been together for two years." Qi Chengyue said lightly, "We met at the annual meeting of Qilin. Otherwise, with Jianyi's qualifications, what makes him become the manager of the engineering department at such a young age? Qilin is not a small company, it's a large group, there are many talents, how could it be Jianyi's turn? It's because of my boyfriend's identity that he has achieved what he has today. In the future, I can still bring him more."

  "Are you guys dating tonight? Where's he? Why can't I see him? Did he just take a call? The call was from me, and he told me he was having dinner with a client. Song Yu, think about it, when others ask, he doesn't even dare to acknowledge your identity, you're just a client."

  "He left, what did he say to you? Is the company overworking?" Qi Chengyue snorted.

  "I told him to go home and wait for me. He's at home right now. If you don't believe me, you can go to his house and see if he's really working overtime at the company."

  Seeing Song Yu's pale face, Qi Chengyue smiled victoriously, took out his phone, dialed Jian Yi's number, and turned on the speaker.

  "Xie Yue?" The phone rang with Jian Yi's soft and gentle voice.

  Song Yu froze, her heart began to sink, and her eyes stared tightly at Qi Chengyue's phone on the table.

  "Where are you now?" Qi Chengyue smiled brightly, staring at Song Yu's face from start to finish.

  "On the way home," Jian Yi said, the lie he had previously told Song Yu was now self-evident.

  Song Yu's lips parted, and a sour taste surged up his throat.

  He really cheated her.

  By this time, she already believed Qi Chengyue's words.

  Jian Yi, how much more have you deceived her?

  Since he already has a girlfriend, why doesn't he tell her clearly and why does he still want to confess to her?

  "Have you finished talking with the client?" Qizhengyue asked again.

  "No, I've handed it over to a colleague. Weren't you supposed to meet with me?" Jian Yi said.

  "Am I more important than the client?" Qi Chengyue's voice softened a bit, with a triumphant smile on his face, provokingly looking at Song Yu who had already lost his spirit.

  "Of course, otherwise why would I abandon my client?" A soft laughter came from Jian Yi's end of the phone.

  "Then you wait for me at home." Qi Chengyue said and hung up the phone.

  "Do you believe it?" Qi Chengyue put away his phone, "No matter how good he sounds to you, I can still call him away from your side with just one phone call. His position in his heart is nothing more than that. So I've never worried, no matter what he's like outside, he'll always come back here, so I can forgive him. It's just you, don't be so shameless."

  Song Yu hung his head low, his mind in turmoil, with Jian Yi's words echoing constantly by his ear.

  Am I more important than the customer?

  Of course, otherwise why would I abandon my clients?

  Customer... she's just a customer.

  In front of Qi Cheng Yue, she was just a client.

  Just last night, he said he was jealous, he liked her, his gaze was so entwined.

  She had known him since she was 12 years old and had never heard of him having a girlfriend, so she thought he also had her in his heart.

  Even if Song's family went bankrupt, he still stayed by her side, giving her support, helping her find a job, and taking care of her.

  She met with clients and he came to pick her up late.

  She worked overtime and he sent her supper.

  His life seems to have always revolved around her, with no time for romance.

  Even their parents thought they were a couple who liked each other and would eventually be together.

  Suddenly, she didn't know how much of what Jian Yi had said to her in the past was true.

  How much sincerity does he have in taking care of her?

  Suddenly, a splash of cold water was poured on his face, Song Yu came back to his senses, and the cup in front of Jian Yi was already empty.

  Qī Chéng Yuè slammed the water cup onto the table with great force, making a loud "bang" sound that caught the attention of those around her.

  "You're just a third-rate scholar, shameless thing!" Qi Chengyue suddenly shouted loudly, clutching her bag with a face full of resentment, her eyes even welling up with tears, where was the calm and complacent look from earlier?

  Qī Chéng Yuè's deliberate shout drew everyone's attention to Sòng Yǔ.

  Looking at her disheveled and drenched from head to toe, with hair sticking to her scalp and face, a disdainful voice rang out:

  "It's actually the mistress, how shameless!"

  "Looks quite innocent, didn't expect to be so cheap at heart!"

  "Now the more innocent-looking on the surface, the cheaper inside, isn't that just the most popular green tea bitch."

  "When the original partner finds her, pouring a cup of water on her is being polite. This kind of person deserves to be gang-raped several times."

  Song Yu didn't dare to lift her head, with water dripping on her face, but it was scorching hot and painful, her eyes were also aching badly, with a warm feeling, a stream of warmth flowed down, mixed with the cold water, and she couldn't tell whether it was tears or water.

  Zi Xiangyue returned to the back seat of the car parked at Shengyue's gate, said "start the car" to the driver, holding her mobile phone and looking at the photos inside.

  There are photos of Jian Yi and Song Yu returning to Song Yu's home, with Jian Yi opening the car door for Song Yu to get in, with Jian Yi standing by the road stroking Song Yu's hair, and also photos of Jian Yi and Song Yu embracing last night.

  Qī Chéng Yuè expressionlessly deleted all these photos.

  Song Yu grabbed her bag in a fluster and hastily retreated out of the store, but didn't know who stuck out a foot to trip her up, causing her to fall to the ground.

  She even wore high heels and a skirt today, only to have her knee, covered in thick stockings, hit the cold, hard marble floor of the restaurant, causing her entire body to tremble with pain.

  Her fall was met with a burst of laughter from those around her.

  There were also people who praised the person who stretched out their foot for doing a good job.

  Song Yu got up from the ground in disarray, fortunately no one else kicked her, and she finally managed to get out of the restaurant door.

  As soon as she came out, the cold wind of winter night rushed towards her, her wet hair and clothes were splashed with water on her chest, her soaked sweater clung tightly to her skin, and when the wind blew, the chill was piercing, as if it would freeze into ice.

  Song Yu tightened his coat and shivered, hastily walking towards the side of the road, wanting to hail a car.

  She lowered her head and didn't dare look up at anyone, but bumped into a sturdy chest.

  "Song Yu?" Hearing the voice, Song Yu looked up and saw Qi Cheng's frowning face.

  His face was only furrowed in a frown and had no other expression, his tall body cast a shadow over her head, also blocking the cold wind for her.

  He stood in front of her, his hands on hers, as solid and reassuring as a safe harbor in a stormy sea.

  The warmth in his palm seemed to be transmitted to her through his arm, and in his arms, she also gradually warmed up.

  When she saw him, she inexplicably felt at ease, and the panic and fear from earlier instantly disappeared.

  At this time, she didn't know why, but a sentence suddenly popped into her mind:

  In the vast mountains and rivers, amidst a sea of people, I unexpectedly ran into you here.

  As if she had found a sense of security, Song Yu looked up with tears streaming down her face even more fiercely.

  She couldn't say a word and just cried.

  "Let's get on first," said Qi Cheng with a sigh of relief that was almost imperceptible.

  Song Yu was led into Qi Chengzhi's car, he turned on the warm air and took out a towel from the storage compartment for her, "Wipe yourself first."

  Song Yu's mind was elsewhere as she mechanically wiped her hair, her hands lacking any strength, her brain filled with Jian Yi's deception, which had led her to this awkward situation.

  As for Jian Yi, even if she liked him again, she didn't like him enough to become a mistress.

  She never thought that today's full-hearted expectation, which was supposed to be a sweet and romantic date, would end up like this.

  A sudden pressure came from the top of her head, Song Yu was shocked and regained consciousness, feeling a pair of large hands pressing on the towel to wipe her wet hair.

  Song Yu turned her head and saw that Qi Cheng had probably realized that she was wiping like this, and even if she wiped for a few more hours, her hair would still not be dry, so he took matters into his own hands.

  He took off his glasses and casually placed them on the decorative rack in front of him, with a warm mist fogging up the lenses.

  "The word 'come' disappeared from Qi Chengzhi's gaze, Song Yu silently dropped her hands and lowered her head, letting Qi Chengzhi wipe her hair."

  She wiped her hair semi-dry and the towel was already completely wet, so it was thrown onto the back seat by Qi Chengzhi.

  "Where are you going?" asked Qi Chengzhi.

  Song Yu thought of Qi Chengyue's words and coincidentally reported Jian Yi's address.

  It wasn't until they had already driven to Jian Yi's house that she came back to her senses.

  "Did you know about Jian Yi and Qi Cheng Yue's relationship?" Song Yu gripped her bag strap tightly.

  He knew it long ago but didn't say?

  "Jian Yi and Cheng Yue?" Qi Cheng turned his puzzled head to look at her, "What's going on with them? How did they get entangled together?"

  "They've been in love for two years, didn't you know?" Song Yu turned her head and asked back, somewhat disbelieving.

  With such a close relationship, how could he possibly not know?

  Ke Zi Cheng furrowed his brow, his voice low and even. "She's just my cousin, we're not particularly close. But I did hear from Second Uncle that she has a boyfriend she's been seeing regularly, although he's never brought him home before, so I don't know much about it."

  "Is Cheng Yue with Jian Yi?"

  Song Yu nodded and withdrew her gaze.

  "Sorry, I don't know." Qi Chengzhi said calmly.

  "There's nothing, if you really want to deceive, how can you know?" Song Yu smiled bleakly, "I've known Jian Yi for 13 years, thinking I understand him particularly well, spending every day together, yet I didn't even know he had been in a relationship with Qi Chengyue for two years."

  Zi Cheng glanced at her and didn't say another word.

  ……

  ……

  They couldn't drive up to the entrance of Jianyi Building, so they had to stop at the side. Song Yu got out of the car alone, and Qi Chengzhi didn't follow. Song Yu also didn't notice, her mind now couldn't be placed on Qi Chengzhi's body.

  Song Yu walked into Jian Yi's apartment building, while Qi Chengzhi turned the car around, ready to leave at any moment.

  Jian Yi's own rented apartment had an elevator and was not as old as the one she rented, which only had stairs.

  When she reached the 12th floor and the elevator door opened, she heard a woman's quarrel.

  "Jian Yi, for four years in university, I also supported you for four years. Your tuition fees, living expenses, were all paid by me, even the money spent on going out and dating was paid by me, it's as if I was begging you to be with me. Yes, all of this was done willingly, as long as I could be your girlfriend, I would be happy. But after you entered Qi Lin, and hooked up with Qi Cheng Yue, you dumped me, are you still human?"

  "I admit defeat to Qi Chengyue, the Gu family can't compare to the Qi family. But when you were with Qi Chengyue, you also hooked up with Song Yu, what's the logic? I may not be as good as Qi Chengyue, but in what way am I inferior to Song Yu? In the past, the Song family was powerful, and you only had eyes for Song Yu. But now that the Song family has nothing, my family background is far superior to hers, and I'm not even less attractive than her. If you want to cheat on Qi Chengyue by finding women outside, why didn't you come find me?"

  "It's all about finding a lover, you didn't even come to find me, why? You know it, even if I were your lover, I would have acknowledged it, we could still help each other out as family, but you went with Song Yu instead, what is this? All those years of my devotion to you, what do they count for? Jian Yi, you made a joke out of me!"

  "Guān Xiǎolín, I've been with Qí Chéngyuè for so long, didn't you acknowledge it a long time ago? What are you coming to me for now?" Jiǎn Yì said impatiently.

  Song Yu had never heard Jian Yi speak in such a tone before, so impatient, so cold, and so indifferent.

  "Because you've found Song Yu again!" Guan Xiaolin shouted in a low voice, stretching her neck and staring at Jian Yi unwillingly. "I can accept that you're looking for Qi Chengyue, but after all these years, you're looking for Song Yu again? I'm not convinced! If you can be with Song Yu, why can't you come to me?"

  "There's nothing to be angry about, don't you understand? If it wasn't for the fact that you could pay so much money for me back then, how could I have been with you? Me, at most, am just a man bought by your money. Don't act like a crazy woman, pulling and tugging at the door. Why did I go find Song Yu instead of you? Do I need to make it that clear? Because I like her, whereas for you, from start to finish, it's only been about using me. Only using me, can't you see?"

  "Jian Yi, you bastard!" Guan Xiao Lin clenched her fists and shrieked, crying with tears all over her face. "Aren't you afraid I'll tell Qi Cheng Yue? If Qi Cheng Yue finds out, do you think she'll let Song Yu off easily? She won't give up on you, but she'll get rid of the woman by your side! Do you know why your secretaries keep changing? Even when nothing's happened, she can fabricate suspicions out of thin air. If she finds out about Song Yu, what will happen?"

  "I can even go tell Song Yu about it, and tell her what you're really like!" Guan Xiaolin said loudly with a ferocious expression.

  "Tell her? Aren't you afraid of exposing yourself too? You've always pretended to be her good friend, knowing she likes me, yet you came to seduce me, pretending on the surface that we have no relationship. Listening to her say how much she likes me, deceiving her for so many years. On one hand, being friends with her, on the other hand, plotting against her, do you want to tell her this?" Jian Yi sneered coldly.

  "What's the big deal? She's already on guard against me, so what if I just let it all out?! I just can't stand seeing you do well, how about that!" Guan Xiaolin suddenly flailed her arm wildly, her face red with rage.

  "Crazy woman, you go tell her! Since she's already on guard against you, see if she believes what you say!" Jian Yi grabbed Guan Xiao Lin's wrist, "Get out!"

  "Don't pull me, I'm not going! Why are you in such a hurry to make me leave? Is it because Qi Chengyue is coming soon and you're afraid of being seen by her? I won't go, let her see me, that's perfect!" Guan Xiaolin shouted petulantly.

  "Don't pull me! I won't go! I won't go! Jian Yi, you're hurting me, let go! Let..."

  Song Yu had already lost the strength to support himself, leaning against the wall and staring blankly as Jian Yi and Guan Xiaolin struggled, the two of them dragging each other out, their line of sight directly opposite Guan Xiaolin.

  Guan Xiaolin suddenly lowered her voice and stared straight at Jian Yi's back.

  He slowly turned his head, and when he saw Song Yu, his brain "buzzed" and he was stunned.

  "Hmph!" Song Yu let out a wry smile, completely unwilling to look at their faces.

  Suddenly, these two people she had known for over a decade became strangers to her, as if she had never truly known them before.

  Just looking at the two of them entangled, Guan Xiaolin's face twisted in extreme anger, Jian Yi's cold expression that had never appeared when facing her before, suddenly became so unfamiliar, so ugly and cruel.

  "Song... Song..." Jian Yi froze in place, subconsciously releasing his grip on Guan Xiao Lin's hand, looking at Song Yu in a fluster.

  In Song Yu's eyes, his performance was just a guilty conscience.

  Song Yu suddenly felt a little disgusted. He now had a lost and regretful look, as if he was afraid of losing the one he loved with a painful expression. She didn't know if it was real or not.

  Without saying another word, Song Yu turned around and pressed the elevator button.

  The elevator remained stationary on this floor and did not move. After pressing the down button, the elevator door opened immediately.

  Song Yu walked in, Jian Yi called out "Song Song" and was about to chase after him, but this time, it was Guan Xiaolin who desperately grasped Jian Yi's wrist, not letting him go.

  "Jian Yi, I want you to make it clear with me here today, don't think about going anywhere else!"

  About Qi Chengzhi driving a Jaguar to follow Song Yu, later on Yan Beicheng didn't know from where he heard the inside story and knew that day he wasn't mistaken, the one in the Jaguar was indeed Qi Chengzhi.

  Yan Beicheng couldn't help but ask out of curiosity: "Why did you follow Song Yu and open the Jaguar?"

  Zi Cheng: "What if we are recognized as the winners?"

  Yan Bei Cheng: "Then why did you switch back to Overlord later?"

  "Zi Chengzhi: 'What if the cheetah is recognized?'"
