Zhao Xiaobao's expression changed as soon as he heard the name Chen Jiayi.

"Damn it, this woman is divorced but still acts all high and mighty."

He spat, "Dad, I've been pursuing Chen Jiayi openly and secretly for so long, but she won't respond to me. What should I do?"

Despite being rejected by Chen Jiayi, Zhao Xiaobao couldn't wait to get her whenever he thought about her identity.

Upon hearing Zhao Xiaobao's words, Zhao Wei frowned and spoke with a reprimanding tone.

"What's the panic? I'll figure something out. You go back first."

Zhao Xiaobao wanted to say something more, but seeing Zhao Wei's displeased expression, he immediately stopped talking.

After all, he still needs to rely on his father.

After Zhao Xiaobao left, Zhao Wei's face immediately darkened.

He was shocked when he first heard that Ding Haowen's wife was the richest man in Haicheng.

Later, I learned that Ding Haowen and Chen Jiayi had divorced.

Zhao Wei immediately thought Ding Haowen was an idiot!

If it were him, he would never divorce Chen Jiayi and instead marry a divorced woman.

Zhao Wei originally thought he would never have any contact with Chen Jiayi in his life, but unexpectedly Chen Jiayi was admitted to Ocean University and even majored in the same field as them.

As his mentor and Chen Jiayi as his student, it's not unreasonable for him to ask the student to do something...

Zhao Wei's face darkened, and then he let out a cold laugh.

Since he won't listen to reason and will have to suffer the consequences, then don't blame him!

Zhao Wei made a special trip to Chen Jiayi's research lab and saw a group of students inside, mostly top students from Ocean University. He gave them a gentle smile.

"Everyone, stop what you're doing! I've been leading this group for a while now, and I've seen how hard you've all worked. I'll treat you all to dinner at the state-run restaurant later!"

After Zhao Wei finished speaking with a smile, his classmates burst into cheers.

"Long live Teacher Zhao! Yay!"

Chen Jiayi didn't say anything; in any circle, you have to go with the flow.

It can't be that everyone else goes and she's the only one who doesn't go, can it?

Chen Jiayi gets along well with her classmates. I heard that Teacher Zhao was assigned to be their mentor because she has reached a certain age. She used to be quite capable.

Chen Jiayi didn't think much of it and continued her experiment.

5:30 p.m.

Zhao Wei called out at the door right on time, "Classmates, pack up and let's go!"

Upon hearing Zhao Wei's words, Chen Jiayi reluctantly put down the experimental tools.

She was somewhat reluctant to participate, and Chen Jiayi decided that she should politely decline.

But her classmate smiled and took her hand.

"Jiayi, let's go!"

Seeing her classmate laughing so happily, Chen Jiayi didn't say anything.

A group of people went together to the state-run hotel that Zhao Wei had booked. The private room in the hotel was on the third floor, and Zhao Wei had booked a private room.

Each private room has two large round tables, each of which can seat about 12 people.

Chen Jiayi and her classmates sat down together, and soon after they sat down, they started ordering food.

Although Zhao Wei told everyone to relax, everyone understood that when someone else is treating, it's best not to order the first dish the host orders.

There were about 16 people sitting at the table. Chen Jiayi's group had 12 people, and the rest should be another group led by Zhao Wei.

During the meal, Zhao Wei stood up and toasted each person one by one.

Many of the people present were children, and they couldn't drink alcohol. They mostly substituted beverages; Chen Jiayi drank plain water because she doesn't like sugary drinks.

When Zhao Weijing arrived at Chen Jiayi's place, he saw that Chen Jiayi was drinking plain water and immediately asked her with a surprised expression.

"What's going on? Why are you giving her plain water? Waiter, quickly get her a drink!"

Upon hearing Zhao Wei's words, Chen Jiayi quickly offered an explanation.

"No need, Teacher Zhao! Plain water will be fine for me."

After speaking, Chen Jiayi picked up a glass of water with neither arrogance nor servility and gave Zhao Wei a respectful bow.

Zhao Wei looked at the cup in Chen Jiayi's hand, and the smile on his face faded slightly.

Seeing this, Zhao Xiaobao quickly changed the subject with a smile.

“Chen, you don’t know this, do you? If someone of higher seniority toasts you, they drink baijiu (Chinese liquor), so you should at least drink some too. Teacher Zhao understands that we are all students, and everyone else drinks beverages instead of alcohol, but you’re just drinking plain water…”

Chen Jiayi frowned upon hearing Zhao Xiaobao's words.

That sounds a bit odd...

Chen Jiayi's classmate quickly poured her a drink.

"Jiayi, it's okay to just have a small sip of your drink. Don't make everyone feel awkward!"

Chen Jiayi's smile was a little cold. She glanced at her female classmate, saw that her expression was normal, and didn't say anything.

He simply picked up the cup and drank the beverage in one gulp.

A hint of guilt flashed in the female student's eyes, and she unconsciously gripped her clothes tighter.

After finishing her drink, Chen Jiayi spoke in a cold tone.

"Excuse me, please enjoy your meal. I have to go now."

She didn't say exactly why she was leaving, but everyone could guess.

Zhao Wei didn't say anything, but just watched Chen Jiayi's departing figure and winked at Zhao Xiaobao.

Inside the private room, no one noticed anything amiss. They simply continued eating their favorite dishes or chatting about other topics.

After leaving the private room, Chen Jiayi felt extremely annoyed that she had gone to such a dinner party.

She kicked the wall next to her hard, but whether it was because the movement was too big or something else, Chen Jiayi felt dizzy and almost fainted.

A pair of hands reached out from the side, trying to help Chen Jiayi.

Chen Jiayi managed to steady herself by holding onto the wall.

She frowned slightly, turned around, and saw that it was Zhao Xiaobao. Her expression turned cold.

When Zhao Xiaobao saw the expression on Chen Jiayi's face, he was immediately captivated.

He reached out his hand, a smile playing on his lips.

"Chen, what's wrong?"

Chen Jiayi didn't know why, but she felt very weak.

She felt a little dizzy, but could still barely make out her surroundings.

"fine."

After saying that, she tried to leave.

As a result, Zhao Xiaobao reached out to help Chen Jiayi up, but Chen Jiayi frowned and kicked Zhao Xiaobao away!

Zhao Xiaobao hadn't come to his senses yet. After he did, thinking about everything his father had arranged, he gritted his teeth, got up, and rushed to Chen Jiayi.

He reached out and grabbed Chen Jiayi's wrist, trying to forcibly take her upstairs.

Chen Jiayi frowned, wanting to kick Zhao Xiaobao away again, but she was too weak to do so.

She felt terrible, her head was spinning.

Then, I was forcibly dragged upstairs by a classmate I didn't know well.

Chen Jiayi's brain froze for a moment before she finally came to her senses.

"Zhao Xiaobao, what are you doing? Let me go!"

Zhao Xiaobao ignored him and pulled Chen Jiayi straight up the stairs.

Chen Jiayi felt her body was so soft, as if she could melt into water at any moment.

She gritted her teeth, trying to shake off Zhao Xiaobao.

Zhao Xiaobao seemed to realize Chen Jiayi's intention and reached out to pick her up.
