Chapter 64 This Yu is Not Yu

Jiang Ning and his friends' car stopped at a high-end restaurant.

Jiang Ning got off the car and walked in with a group of people, and Qi Jinzhou went to a nearby cafe to wait for her.

…

Jiang Ning was talking to a group of people with a smile. Among the people walking towards her, she saw the man in suits and ties who was discussing business with Qi Jinzhou again.

He seemed to be looking in their direction as well.

Since they made a last-minute reservation, there were no private rooms available, so they sat in the hall and ate at a table with other people.

Jiang Ning didn't care at first, but she accidentally glanced at what the man said at the hotel front desk. When they were checking out, the front desk told them that the bill had already been paid.

Jiang Ning looked at the tall and thin man. She thought he must have paid the bill.

Jiang Ning walked over slowly. He seemed to notice her and stood up, staring at her with bright eyes.

"Sir, did you pay for our meal?"

Zou Yu's eyes were filled with her. He smiled and said, "This restaurant is mine. Since you are here, it's no big deal for me to treat you to a meal."

Jiang Ning felt that he had no relationship with him, so why should he invite them to dinner.

"But I don't know you, sir."

Zou Yu secretly curled his lips and took out a wrinkled paper crane from his trouser pocket. On it was a name written crookedly - [Zhou Yu].

Jiang Ning was shocked, his heart skipped a beat, "You are..."

This was the gift she gave to Zhou Yu when she was in the orphanage.

Zou Yu smiled, his eyes gradually clearing. "Ningning, long time no see. My name is Zou Yu now. I'm glad to see you again."

…

Qi Jinzhou waited for Jiang Ning for more than two hours, and the sky gradually darkened.

Secretary Zhang got the news, "Mr. Qi, Miss Ningning and her friends have finished their dinner and are on their way out. We can go pick her up."

Qi Jinzhou nodded lightly, stood up and walked out of the cafe.

Under the dark night, he walked out and looked towards the door of the hotel. Jiang Ning's shadow appeared, and his eyes were full of tenderness.

The next second, a man stood next to Jiang Ning. The two were talking and laughing, and Jiang Ning even held the other's hand.

A chill gradually grew in Qi Jinzhou's eyes.

Jiang Ning said to Zou Yu, "Are you feeling better now? I remember you weren't feeling well then."

Zou Yu smiled at her gently, "I'm much better now. Ningning, let's get together some other day. Are you free this weekend?"

Zou Yu raised his hand to push the strands of hair away from her forehead. Jiang Ning didn't seem to mind his action. The two of them looked very familiar with each other, like they had been good friends for many years.

Qi Jinzhou walked towards the two of them, his eyes surging with anger, "Ningning, do you still know Mr. Zou?"

Jiang Ning's face was filled with joy, and he didn't notice that Qi Jinzhou's mood had dropped significantly. "Mr. Qi, I forgot to introduce him to you. He's my good friend from the orphanage—Zhou Yu. No, his name is Zou Yu now."

He is Zhou Yu, the white moonlight in Jiang Ning's heart.

What you fear will come true.

Qi Jinzhou's heart sank. He sneered and looked at Zou Yu, "Oh, really?"

Perhaps it was because the magnetic fields of people of the same sex repel each other, Zou Yu also sensed the sharpness in Qi Jinzhou's eyes, "Mr. Qi doesn't seem surprised by this news."

Jiang Ning: "I'm going to the bathroom, wait for me."

After Jiang Ning left, Qi Jinzhou's tone turned cold. He warned Zou Yu, "Ningning is mine now."

Zou Yu smiled faintly, and his tone was not friendly, "Mr. Qi, Ningning is not anyone's."

Jiang Ning came over quickly. She thought that since Qi Jinzhou followed her, he must have been waiting for a long time. She could only reminisce with Zou Yu another day.

She got into Qi Jinzhou's car, feeling a little reluctant. She rolled down the window and waved to Zou Yu, "You go back first. We'll get together another day."

Zou Yu curled his lips and smiled, with her in his heart and eyes.

They had already added each other's contact information, and Zou Yu sent her a smiley face on WeChat, "Ningning, come to my house this weekend, and I'll make you your favorite durian cake."

Qi Jinzhou saw Jiang Ning staring at the phone screen and smiling, seemingly still busy replying to messages.

Qi Jinzhou frowned, "Do you like Zou Yu very much?"

"He's just my good friend. I stayed in the orphanage for so long, and he was my only friend."

This is not what was written in the information that Qi Jinzhou secretly asked someone to investigate.

He lifted Jiang Ning's chin and snatched the phone from her hand. "Isn't he your sweetheart? How did you become friends again?"

Qi Jinzhou clearly saw the surprise in Jiang Ning's eyes, but she didn't intend to hide it from Qi Jinzhou. After all, they were childhood playmates, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Jiang Ning realized it belatedly and narrowed his eyes. "How did you know he was my white moonlight? Qi Jinzhou, were you secretly investigating me?"

Qi Jinzhou stared at her face and blinked, although he knew it was not good to investigate Jiang Ning behind her back.

"Yes. I secretly investigated you. To be more precise, I investigated Zhou Yu and your past with him."

If he knew that Zou Yu was Zhou Yu, he would never let Jiang Ning have the chance to meet Zou Yu.

It's too late now.

Zou Yu is also in Lingcheng, and they will definitely meet often in the future.

Jiang Ning felt as if her fig leaf had been torn off. Life in the orphanage was the most painful time in her life. Fortunately, she had Zou Yu's company at the time, which enabled her to persevere.

She didn't leave the orphanage until she was eight years old, and she lost contact with him after leaving. She and Zou Yu had known each other for eight years. They were not family, but they were better than family.

Jiang Ning pursed her lips and said nothing. Qi Jinzhou realized that she was angry and coaxed her, "I was just investigating. Why are you so sullen?"

Jiang Ning leaned his head on Qi Jinzhou's broad shoulders and asked, "Are you worried about me? There's really nothing between Zou Yu and me. We only knew each other when we were kids. How old were we then? You don't have to go to this extent. Mr. Qi, can you trust me?"

Jiang Ning's soft tone made Qi Jinzhou feel a little more comfortable. He pinched her earlobe and said, "I saw you holding his hand just now. From now on, you are not allowed to meet him alone without my permission. Do you understand?"

Jiang Ning immediately said, "Can I meet him this weekend to catch up?"

Qi Jinzhou's face darkened. "You really want to rush into the muzzle of the gun, right? Ningning?"

Jiang Ning begged him, "We haven't seen each other for so many years. Please, can you let me meet him?"

Qi Jinzhou said with a cold face, "No."

When they got off the car, Qi Jinzhou still didn't agree to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning didn't expect Qi Jinzhou to be so jealous.
