Chapter 101 Is it because you're afraid to see me, Miss Jiang?
A young man dressed in an expensive suit walked in, surrounded by a group of people. He had one hand in his pocket, his gaze casually sweeping around, exuding an aura of superiority.
The person next to him had a fawning smile on his face.
"Young Master Zhou, this way please."
"It is truly an honor for Yuanyi to have you at our anniversary celebration."
"Our CEO Song will be here shortly."
"I was worried that coming without prior notice would cause you trouble," Zhou Shao said, but his tone betrayed no fear whatsoever.
Everyone flattered him and said all sorts of nice things about him.
Director Luo had been looking over there. After seeing Zhou Shao's face clearly, he turned to Jiang Ruan and Bai Jian and asked, "Why does that person look so familiar? Doesn't he look a bit like Zhou Xulin, the only son of the chairman of the Zhou Group?"
Jiang Ruan tightened her grip.
It's not just similar, it is exactly like that.
This guy spends his days eating, drinking, and having fun, and is all talk and no action. He's a typical spoiled brat. Let alone a company like Yuanyi Games, he might not even care about two companies as big as Yuanyi.
But now...
Jiang Ruan suddenly had a bad feeling, as if this person's arrival was aimed at her.
"Sister Bai Jian, I'm going upstairs for a bit to prepare for tonight's performance." She made an excuse to leave, not wanting to have any contact with him. It would be terrible if he found out about her relationship with Huo Zhizhou.
"Okay." Bai Jian nodded.
No sooner had Jiang Ruan left than Director Luo drew Zhou Xulin's attention.
He greeted him with a smile, very enthusiastically: "Young Master Zhou! I didn't expect to see you here."
Zhou Xulin looked towards the source of the sound, but when he saw an unfamiliar face, he didn't intend to pay attention to it. However, just as he was about to look away, he saw the person behind Director Luo walking away quickly.
That back view looks so familiar.
"Who is that?" Zhou Xulin asked Director Luo, slightly raising his chin.
Director Luo followed his gaze and replied with a smile, "That's Jiang Ruan, the original artist and art director from our department."
Zhou Xulin chuckled softly.
Ginger is soft.
"Young Master Zhou, it's such an honor to meet you. Last time at..." Director Luo said incessantly, trying to build a good relationship with the person.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Xulin didn't even glance at him, took a step and walked past him, calling out to the person who was still fleeing the scene: "Running so fast, are you afraid of seeing me? Miss Jiang."
Director Luo: "?"
A moment of doubt appeared on Director Luo's forehead.
Jiang Ruan's body stiffened for a moment, but she didn't stop walking.
"I'm calling you." Zhou Xulin walked up and stopped her, one hand in his pocket with a hint of flippancy. "Where are you going?"
Jiang Ruan was forced to stop, looking at him with a hint of unfamiliarity in her eyes.
That's how it is.
She was clearly telling him that she didn't want to know him.
"Miss Jiang?" Director Luo and the others gathered around, their gazes shifting back and forth between Jiang Ruan and Zhou Xulin. "You mean Jiang Ruan?"
“Yes.” Zhou Xulin made no attempt to hide anything, and the provocation in his eyes hadn’t diminished since he saw Jiang Ruan. “You didn’t know?”
Jiang Ruan glared at him.
He had an expression that said he'd beat him up if he dared to say anything out of line.
“That’s more like it.” Zhou Xulin didn’t care about the way she was looking at him. He leaned down and whispered in her ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “I thought that getting a divorce would get rid of that Miss Jiang who dared to steal my woman back then.”
Jiang Ruan: "..."
How vengeful is this person?
They still remember things from eight hundred years ago.
"Which Miss Jiang are you referring to?" Director Luo racked his brain for a moment, "Is it the heiress of the now-defunct Jiang Group?"
"Of course." Zhou Xulin sold Jiang Ruan without hesitation.
Jiang Ruanxin brought it up unconsciously.
Although these people didn't know that she had been with Huo Zhizhou, their wedding was a grand affair, and they invited all the people in the industry who were close to them and had some status.
These people could very well find out if they just asked around among their superiors.
At that time, going to work will no longer be just about going to work.
“No,” Zhou Xulin added.
Director Luo: "???"
People around: "?"
Is it true or not?
“The eldest daughter of the Jiang Group is much more docile than her.” Zhou Xulin began to ramble on. “She is well-educated, gentle and virtuous. She can’t even compare to half of her.”
Jiang Ruan found his actions increasingly incomprehensible.
But she knew this person had no good intentions.
"You all go ahead and get busy. I'll have a chat with this Miss Jiang," Zhou Xulin said to the others, but his eyes remained fixed on Jiang Ruan with amusement.
"Alright, just call us if you need anything." Director Luo wisely refrained from disturbing them and then instructed Jiang Ruan, "Take good care of Young Master Zhou, don't neglect him."
Bai Jian was about to speak when he saw the situation.
Jiang Ruan gave her a look that said she could handle it, and she left with the crowd.
Soon, only the two of them remained around. Zhou Xulin leaned against a pillar and said, "Are you so afraid that those people will find out that you, a rich young lady, have gone bankrupt and become a wage earner?"
"What are you doing here?" Jiang Ruan asked instead of answering.
"Of course, I'm here to attend Yuan Yi's tenth anniversary celebration," Zhou Xulin said naturally. "And also to see the once arrogant Miss Jiang."
Jiang Ruan ignored him and walked away.
Zhou Xulin followed beside her at a leisurely pace.
"Your superiors just told you not to neglect me." Seeing that she didn't intend to stop, he kindly reminded her, "You said you were going to tell them later that you were disrespectful to me, guess what will happen?"
"Whatever you want." Jiang Ruan wasn't buying it.
“Then I need to tell them about you and Young Master Huo,” Zhou Xulin said, stopping and staring at her back.
Jiang Ruan froze.
Zhou Xulin walked over and sat down on the leather sofa next to him: "They probably don't know yet."
"It's just a little argument we had back then, is it really worth holding a grudge until now?" Jiang Ruan had never seen such a petty person.
"That was just a little argument?" Zhou Xulin got emotional as soon as he brought it up. "You and Su Zhu stole my woman in front of my brother and even beat me up, making me lose face! That's a disgrace!"
Jiang Ruan didn't even bother to talk to him.
That was the year she graduated from high school. She and Su Zhu went to a bar with some friends and saw Zhou Xulin harassing a girl, forcing her to drink and touching her inappropriately.
Neither she nor Su Zhu were the type to tolerate such things, so they naturally punished evil and promoted good.
At that time, the Jiang family was doing better than the Zhou family. Zhou Xulin didn't dare to do anything except curse and swear, not to mention he was beaten up by Su Zhu.
"Apologize to me, and let me beat you up again." Zhou Xulin remembered this incident for the rest of his life. "Otherwise, I'll tell everyone in Yuanyi about your identity and your relationship with Huo Zhizhou."
Jiang Ruan met his gaze, her eyes indifferent.
Zhou Xulin urged, "Hurry up, don't dawdle."
