This side.

Shen Linfeng looked at the family of four in front of him, his face as black as charcoal.

Huang Yumei and Zhou Kai laughed awkwardly, "Young Master Linfeng, we did as you said and asked Su Li to come on a date with you, but she lied to us and made us come here on our own."

"Uncle and Aunt, I have many friends here today, so there's no need to say such things. Please sit at that table."

"well."

The two of them took their child and sat down. As soon as they sat down, they started eating and drinking like they hadn't eaten anything good in ages.

Today's guests are all wealthy young men and women from high society; they've never seen anyone look like a beggar before.

People stared at them, pointing and whispering.

Shen Linfeng was extremely embarrassed; he had lost all face.

The original invitation was for Su Li, so that she could come and publicly announce their relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend in front of so many people.

She didn't come, but this whole family did.

"Linfeng, you're having dinner and drinks with us, why did you bring your whole family along?"

The rich second-generation who was on good terms with Shen Linfeng put his arm around his shoulder and teased him.

Shen Linfeng disdainfully shook off his hand, "Don't pay any attention to them. They're just beggars outside. I'm just taking pity on them and giving them some food."

After finishing her meal, Su Li was about to go home when she realized she had forgotten her bag, so she returned to her office.

Just as I was about to leave after getting the bag, I suddenly heard voices coming from the CEO's office.

"Mr. Quan, are you really going to give Secretary Su to Bart?"

Xu Ming stood in front of the table and helped him organize the documents.

Quan Ye bowed his head and signed the document with an air of noble elegance, saying without changing his expression, "So what if it's a gift?"

“The people around you are all people you value. Bart makes such a request as soon as he arrives. Isn’t that going too far? If word gets out, where will you put your face?”

Quan Ye represents the face of the entire Haicheng business community; no one dares to defecate or urinate on his head. This outsider, Bart, is so reckless as to cross the big boss's bottom line.

"Just a woman."

Hearing Quan Ye's words, Su Li's heart sank.

She had hoped that he would consider their years of friendship and not give her to Bart.

In retrospect, she had overestimated her place in his heart.

Talking about sentimentality with a capitalist is utterly ridiculous.

Su Li didn't say anything, and turned to leave.

As she left the company, she felt as if her legs were weighed down by a thousand pounds, and every step she took felt extremely weak.

"Don't go! Explain yourself!"

A couple walked by, and the woman tightly gripped the man's hand, clinging to him desperately.

Su Li turned her head and saw that it was the woman she had taken to the hospital last night.

She was wearing a loose white dress, and her pregnant belly was prominently displayed beneath her slender frame.

Her frail figure looked as if she might collapse at any moment.

The man shook off her hand and said coldly, "Get away from me. I've already given you the money. Don't bother me anymore."

“I don’t want money, I just want you. You told me before that you would love me forever and would always be by my side. How could you do this now?”

"I'm getting married, and my family would never let me marry a woman like you, so if you don't want to be my mistress, then get out of here."

"But you said you would marry me, and that's why I kept this child."

"Shameless woman, get out!"

The man got into the car without looking back and drove away.

The woman chased after him for a few steps, crying her heart out, and almost fell over.

Su Li couldn't bear to see this and stepped forward to help her up, asking, "Are you alright?"

The woman looked up, her eyes brimming with tears, and recognized her. "It's you. Thank you."

"That man is so heartless, why are you still so persistent?"

“But I love him. We’ve been together for six years. He told me to be his mistress for now, and that he would marry me once his business took off. But now he’s telling me that his family has arranged a marriage for him and that he’s leaving me.”

Su Li listened, her heart clenching with worry.

"Young lady, always remember, never put everything on a man, always focus on yourself, and never let anyone hurt you."

The woman wiped away her tears, supported her pregnant belly, and left.

Su Li watched her departing figure, feeling pitiful, helpless, and filled with resignation.
