"Don't think you can't win. I think if you take the initiative, you can definitely beat Nan Zhi."

Yu Zheng seemed to see through her hesitation and spoke out to encourage her.

Lin Zhixu was nervous, "Why take the initiative? I..."

Yu Zheng couldn't wait, "At least, you and Lan Chen have feelings for each other. As for Nan Zhi, they haven't been in touch for eight years. Time has long erased everything from the past, and there's no longer any feelings at all."

"We don't have any feelings for each other, and he doesn't like me. At most, he's just a substitute."

Lin Zhi was discouraged.

Yu Zheng couldn't bear to watch any longer. "What are you talking about? Did you know that Fu Lanchen loves you? Back then, when you left Fu Group, he didn't go to the company for half a month. He searched almost every corner of Fengcheng for you, but he never thought you would go abroad."

Lin Zhi was shocked.

Fu Lanchen actually went to so much trouble to find her?

"Oh, he's probably afraid that I'll leak company secrets."

A hint of sarcasm escaped his lips, and Yu Zheng said helplessly, "You've been with him for three years, don't you know him well? He's such a tsundere, and he always says one thing and means another. Besides, this substitute doesn't even exist, and you're much prettier than that Nan Zhi."

Lin Zhi was unmoved and asked him, "Why did you tell me so much? Shouldn't you be helping Fu Lanchen get back together with his first love?"

They are close friends among the rich second generation.

Yu Zheng squinted his lips, full of disdain, "I can't stand it. I don't like that Nan Zhi."

As he spoke, he reached out to a passing waiter and asked him to replace his glass of champagne.

The waiter saw that Lin Zhi's wine glass was also empty, so he replaced it with a new one.

"Lan Chen is here, you two can have a good chat."

Hearing this, Lin Zhi looked up and saw Yu Zheng leaving his seat with a glass of champagne.

She was just about to call him when Fu Lanchen, dressed in elegant attire, came over and sat down in the seat where Yu Zheng had just sat.

Perhaps because she was the center of attention wherever she went, as soon as Fu Lanchen approached Lin Zhi, she noticed that many people were looking at her intentionally or unintentionally.

His eyes examined her, but in the end he didn't ask any more questions.

Lin Zhi originally thought he would ask why she was not wearing a formal dress, but now seeing him lower his eyes, a sense of loss welled up in her heart.

Yu Zheng would ask, but he didn't, as if he didn't care at all about what she wore today.

Little did they know that what happened in the hotel had already been reported to Fu Lanchen.

Not asking now proves that he doesn't want her to worry too much about things that are not worth it.

After waiting for a long time, he didn't say anything. Lin Zhi turned away and pretended not to know him.

But just as I lowered my head to look at my phone, his voice rang out, "I need to tell you something."

Lin Zhi seemed to guess what he wanted to say, turned off the phone, slowly turned his head, but did not look at him.

Fu Lanchen paused for a moment, and was about to speak again when he was interrupted by Wang Mingyue who suddenly appeared, "Mr. Fu."

Lin Zhi raised his eyes, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes.

Wang Mingyue sat down on the other side of Fu Lanchen. Perhaps because of the occasion, Fu Lanchen did not chase her away.

Seeing this, Lin Zhi picked up the champagne on the table in front of him and left his seat.

As soon as she left, Fu Lanchen turned his head, his narrow eyes flashing with complex emotions.

Lin Zhi went to Mao Yue and clinked glasses with her.

Mao Yue just withdrew her gaze from Fu Lanchen and asked, "Boss Fu was next to you, why did you leave?"

Lin Zhi smiled and clinked glasses with her, "Wang Mingyue went there, they might have something to do."

Mao Yue teased her, "We are all actors, what are you afraid of?"

Lin Zhi smiled without saying anything and took a sip of champagne.

Mao Yue glanced in the direction of Fu Lanchen again, "Why does Wang Mingyue feel so familiar with Fu Lanchen?"

Lin Zhi changed the subject, "Let's go toast to Li Yunlan."

Without waiting for Mao Yue to react, she had already reached out to pull the person away.

Li Yunlan has transformed from a director to an investor, and was also invited by the Qingyang brand this time.

There were many stars coming, and even though the banquet venue was large, it still seemed a bit crowded.

Lin Zhi and Mao Yue squeezed to Li Yunlan's side. Fu Lanchen turned his head to look at their previous position, but in the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace.

Yu Zheng thought that by giving up his seat, he could give the two of them a chance to be alone. However, while drinking, he glanced around and found that Lin Zhi was no longer in the seat he had just sat, but Wang Mingyue was there instead.

In an instant, he lost his composure and apologized to the person he was talking to: "I'm sorry to leave you."

The other party nodded.

He took a sip of champagne, crossed mountains and rivers, and headed straight for Fu Lanchen.

Just as he was about to stand up, he took the initiative to press Fu Lanchen's shoulders. Fu Lanchen's expression froze, he turned his head and saw him, then sat back down.

Yu Zheng made a face and looked over at Wang Mingyue with a serious expression, "Other stars are making friends, what's the point of you sitting here?"

Wang Mingyue's face turned pale, and her voice was stiff: "Boss Yu, I just want to talk to Boss Fu for a while."

Fu Lanchen was sandwiched in the middle, with his chin slightly raised and his face as cold as frosty.

Yu Zheng saw that he was reluctant and didn't want to waste any more time. He walked past Fu Lanchen and said to Wang Mingyue, "Wang Mingyue, Li Yunlan is over there. Go over and have a drink."

Hearing the voice, Wang Mingyue looked in the direction he pointed and indeed saw Li Yunlan in a white suit.

At this time, he was surrounded by several actresses, talking and laughing.

She was a little reluctant, but couldn't bear Yu Zheng's strong request, so she got up and left.

As soon as she left, Fu Lanchen said without warmth, "She is Nan Zhi's cousin."

Yu Zheng was stunned. "What? Cousin? Is this true?"

Fu Lanchen picked up the champagne on the table, shook the glass, and said with a cold expression, "I also found out recently."

"Wang Mingyue is from the north, and seems to be from Heicheng. Nanzhi is from Lancheng..."

Yu Zheng pondered and felt depressed.

"So, in the beginning, you became close to her because of Nan Zhi?"

Fu Lanchen raised his head and drank the champagne in his glass. "I didn't know it at that time."

At that time, he deliberately got close to other female stars, just to find a sense of presence in front of Lin Zhi. But who knew that woman didn't care at all.

Yu Zheng was a little annoyed at this moment because he had signed Wang Mingyue.

I thought Nan Zhi alone was enough to give Fu Lanchen a hard time, but I didn't expect that Wang Mingyue, such an annoying person, would appear beside him!

"She's coming to Fengcheng with her son now. What are you going to do?"

“…”

Fu Lanchen was silent.

Yu Zheng couldn't bear it any longer, "Lan Chen, you're married, you can't let Lin down..."

Realizing his voice was a bit loud, he immediately restrained himself and lowered his voice, "Lin Zhi already knows about Nan Zhi's existence. Although you don't admit that you like her, as a friend, I still want to remind you. You made a mistake once, so don't make it a second time, otherwise there will be no chance to turn back."

"They... Nan Zhi was often abused by her husband during her years in the East Country. If that man hadn't died of illness, she might not have had the chance to return home."

"Then you can't be soft-hearted. You haven't forgotten everything she did to you, have you?"

Yu Zheng spoke earnestly.

Fu Lanchen lowered his brows with a cold expression.

"I haven't forgotten. I took her in because I remembered those days and felt sorry for her, a woman with a child."

"Well, don't be so naive."
