Chapter 43: A dampened spirit

Liang Zhouheng was stunned for a few seconds before bursting into laughter. "I came here prepared today. In one word, beautiful. Two words, too beautiful."

Jiang Yuan walked over to the pool table and stood still, smiling, "Mr. Liang, you're too kind."

Other men had already fixed their gazes on Jiang Yuan, unable to contain themselves, and angrily shouted at Liang Zhouheng, "Mr. Liang, why don't you introduce us to this beautiful woman?"

Liang Zhouheng rolled his eyes at him and scolded him with a smile, "Who are you introducing yourself to? You're drooling all over the floor, wipe it off quickly."

The people around laughed.

Liang Zhouheng gestured for Jiang Yuan to look in Yin Dong's direction. "How's it going? I wasn't kidding, was he? He's right there. Go over and say hello."

Jiang Yuan turned her head again following his gaze, and Yin Dong happened to look over here.

It was hard to explain why, but the moment their eyes met, Jiang Yuan's face instantly felt hot and burning. She was probably afraid that he would notice that she had come to see him on purpose.

After all, she had sworn a solemn oath to him, saying that she would never love him again. Now it seemed like she was slapping herself in the face.

She turned her head quickly and pretended to be calm, saying, "There's someone with him, so I won't go over."

"Why, are you jealous?"

Liang Zhouheng moved closer to her, lowered his head and examined her face from bottom to top, whispering softly, "Are you sad, sister? It's okay if you're sad. Just stop liking him. You have too many rivals in love. You're no match for them. It hurts me to see you get bullied by them again."

Jiang Yuan quickly extracted a useful piece of information from Liang Zhouheng's words: this woman was also chasing Yin Dong, but she probably hadn't caught up with him yet.

But Yin Dong's attitude towards this woman didn't seem bad, at least much better than towards her.

"What are you thinking about? Do you want to consider finding someone else you like? Brother is always ready."

Liang Zhouheng became more and more excited as he spoke, his tone was ridiculously gentle, and he was almost about to hug Jiang Yuan in his arms to comfort her.

Jiang Yuan shook her head, distanced herself from Liang Zhouheng, and changed the subject, "Aren't we going to play basketball?"

Liang Zhouheng nodded happily, "Okay, let's play ball."

When Liang Zhouheng handed the golf club to Jiang Yuan, he glanced in the direction of Yin Dong. Jiang Yu was still chatting with Yin Dong, but Yin Dong's face showed some restlessness.

When the game started, many people gathered around. Liang Zhouheng and Jiang Yuan played three games in a row, and Liang Zhouheng lost every time.

In the last game, Liang Zhouheng only teeed off one ball, and then Jiang Yuan cleared all the balls with one shot. The last ball fell into the pocket, and many people around applauded.

Jiang Yuan was very focused when playing, her attention was all on the pool table. When she put down the cue and looked up, she noticed Yin Dong standing opposite the table and the woman standing next to him.

The woman was looking at her calmly. Jiang Yuan exchanged a glance with her, then quickly looked away. She turned to ask Liang Zhouheng, "Is Mr. Liang still playing?"

Liang Zhouheng lost three games in a row and said with a wry smile, "You're playing a game, don't be serious with me."

Jiang Yuan paused and said seriously, "You didn't say you were just playing for fun."

"That's too cruel. You don't show any mercy at all."

Jiang Yuan: "I thought you didn't want me to let you go."

"Heh," Liang Zhouheng laughed at her anger. "Okay, okay, you're awesome. I'm convinced by you. I suspect you didn't study hard during your four years in college. Did you sneak out to play basketball?"

Jiang Yuan replied truthfully: "I've only fought a few times, but I haven't practiced much."

Liang Zhouheng was so angry that he was speechless. He immediately turned around and asked, "Who will play against her next round? Is there anyone who can dampen this girl's spirit?"

After he finished speaking, he glanced across at the other side and immediately curled his lips and said, "Jiang Yu, I haven't seen you play basketball for a long time. How about you come and compete with this girl?"
