Tang Zhi was puzzled: "No, you just told me 'it's no use trying to win me back,' but now you're showing such a fawning face. What's the meaning of that?"

Tang Zhi felt as if his heart had been broken. What hurt the most was that after Zhao Yang walked over, he started chatting enthusiastically with Tian Jun and Chu Nian. Chu Nian's attitude towards Zhao Yang was very friendly and warm, unlike how she treated him.

Tang Zhi was heartbroken. He had originally hoped to use this banquet to network with some influential people and pave the way for his company's future development. But now, he had completely lost that interest. He had even lost his childhood sweetheart. Had his life hit rock bottom?

Just as he was heartbroken and about to leave in despair, Lin Xinwan walked over.

"Mr. Tang, it's really nice to see you here." Lin Xinwan's voice was gentle and beautiful, full of feminine charm and magnetism.

This improved Tang Zhi's mood slightly. He nodded and said, "Me too." But ultimately, he wasn't in the mood for further pleasantries with Lin Xinwan and decided to leave.

Seeing this, Lin Xinwan quickly added warmly, "I didn't expect Sister Chen Nian to be attending the banquet as Mr. Tian's date. You and her..."

Tang Zhi sighed.

Lin Xinwan said with a guilty look, "It's all my fault. I was ignorant in the past and didn't know how to read people's expressions. I always thought that Sister Chen Nian was a girl who was working hard outside like me, and that she would definitely be able to understand and tolerate me like you, President Tang."

Tang Zhi didn't know what to say. Thinking back on the past, he suddenly felt that he had indeed been absurd. But he didn't think it was absurd to date both Chen Nian and Lin Xinwan at the same time; rather, he felt that it was absurd to think that Chen Nian, as a woman with old-fashioned ideas, would stay obediently by his side forever.

He felt that Chen Nian must be attracted to Tian Jun's family background, which was why she threw herself into Tian Jun's arms without considering anything else.

So, how stupid must he have been before!

If Chu Nian knew what he was thinking at this moment, she would probably be amused and annoyed: Doesn't this scumbag ever think about how scum he is? He blames the woman for all the problems in their relationship.

Thinking of his own miserable state, Tang Zhi couldn't help but let out another helpless sigh: he was convinced that his woman had gone to marry someone better.

Lin Xinwan suddenly lowered her voice shyly and said, "President Tang, is it really impossible to find out what happened that night at the Brilliant Shelly? You see... Sister Chen Nian and Mr. Tian seem very familiar with each other, not like they've only known each other for a short time..."

One sentence made Tang Zhi jump, and he turned around to glare angrily at Chu Nian and Tian Jun.

However, this matter now involves not only Chu Nian, but also Tian Jun.

Lin Xinwan's words implied that Chen Nian and Tian Jun must have known each other for a long time, so it's very likely that Chen Nian also knew that Tian Jun was in the private room of the Brilliant Shelly. In addition, Chen Nian was so angry with Lin Xinwan at the time that it's not surprising that she plotted to have Lin Xinwan sleep with her.

There's another layer of meaning: Chen Nian may have already been involved with Tian Jun before breaking up with Tang Zhi.

Although Tang Zhi was furious, he remained rational. He knew he couldn't afford to offend Tian Jun, so he stormed off without even saying goodbye to Zhao Yang.

Before leaving, Zhao Yang searched for him for a while and finally found out from Lin Xinwan that Tang Zhi had left. This made Zhao Yang feel very embarrassed, and he left with a belly full of anger.

Tian Jun was eventually caught by Lu Yaoyao, who dragged him into a long, pointless conversation that annoyed him to no end. He tried several times to get Chu Nian to come and help him out (take the fall), but after searching the hall countless times, he still couldn't find Chu Nian anywhere.

At that moment, Chu Nian was hiding in an extremely dark corner, eating the delicacies prepared at the banquet: cakes, sausages, ice cream... Sigh, although none of them were healthy foods, she would only temporarily put her health aside and indulge herself at times like this.

After eating and drinking her fill, she finally emerged from the corner—the banquet was over, and Tian Jun was about to leave with a dark expression when he found his arm being held. Turning around, he saw Chu Nian's unusually polite and sunny face, which only fueled his anger.

On the way back, he almost threw Chu Nian away in anger—the villa area in the suburbs, the Lu family's villa and Chu Nian's villa are located at opposite ends of S City, and to get back to Chu Nian's home, one has to cross the entire S City.

And this is still the suburbs, frequented by wealthy people, whose families own several luxury cars. Taxis don't like to come here because it's too far from the city center, there are few passengers, and the journey is too long.

Therefore, it is difficult to hail a car here.

Tian Jun's original plan was to leave Chu Nian here and teach her a lesson.

But as soon as he parked the car, he heard the woman in the passenger seat say lazily, "Why did you park? We're not there yet!"

Tian Jun: "You can get off the bus now."

Chu Nian: "No."

Tian Jun: "What if I insist on making you get off the bus?"

Chu Nian said with a smile, "My phone is already linked to your car..."

Tian Jun was immediately dumbfounded: What does this mean? What does "linked to my car" mean? Do phones still have this function? Or is this woman a hacker...?

"What do you mean?" After a long pause, he finally asked.

Chu Nian: "I'm back home safe and sound, so everything is fine between us."

Tian Jun asked again with a cold face, "Otherwise what?"

Chu Nian: "Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to return home safely and comfortably."

Tian Jun stared at the lazy and leisurely woman, and thinking of her unimaginable hacking skills, he finally restarted the car.

He finally understood: never mess with hackers, especially female hackers. He knew he shouldn't have brought this woman to the banquet; he felt like he had shot himself in the foot.

He dropped Chu Nian off at the entrance of her villa. Seeing Chu Fang unbuckle her seatbelt and get out of the car, he finally couldn't hold back and said, "Miss Chen, do you still remember the cooperation you promised me?"

Chu Nian nodded and said, "I remember. Don't worry, I will license a few other good technologies to you."

Tian Jun asked, "Including the technology you just mentioned about connecting a mobile phone to a car? Can this technology allow you to directly control a car with your phone? Can it be remotely controlled? What is the maximum distance it can be remotely controlled from?"

Chu Nian looked at him with an expression as if he were an idiot and said, "How do you have so many ideas?"

Tian Jun: "You just said that your phone is linked to my car..."

Chu Nian: "Yes, it's already linked to your car's dashcam."

Tian Jun: ...

Chu Nian had already opened the door and gotten out of the car, saying, "I'll slowly think about and study those technologies you mentioned. Maybe one day I'll actually figure them out!"
