Nie Heng had an arrogant and irritating look on his face, perfectly embodying the image of a spoiled brat.
Ming Jiaojiao was frightened. She thought Ming Luo was lying, but she didn't expect that Ming Luo was really the Empress.
Although it was quite embarrassing for Mingluo to hear her talking badly about her behind her back, it was also very satisfying for Mingluo to see how good Jingyan was to her!
Minglu must be incredibly jealous, right?
Her eyes reddened, and she stared at Mingluo with a wronged expression, saying, "Mingluo, what are you doing here? If you're here, why didn't you say anything? It's so awkward!"
Minglu raised an eyebrow and smiled faintly, "I'm not the one who's embarrassed. What does your embarrassment have to do with me? Spreading rumors comes at a price."
"I... I was just saying it casually, you didn't take it seriously, did you?" Ming Jiaojiao was a little flustered. So that incredibly handsome man was Nie Heng's uncle, which meant he was even richer than Nie Heng.
A deep longing rose in Ming Jiaojiao's heart.
She had always pretended to be Mingluo's best friend in front of her, and through this, she met many people with good prospects.
But ever since Minglu woke up in the hospital, she seems like a different person. She is both resentful and stubborn towards her. Apart from Jingyan, she can't get in touch with anyone else. People like Nie Heng and the man who took Minglu away don't seem to have a good impression of her either.
If Mingluo were to actually sue her, they would completely break off their relationship.
She had no way of getting to know that man through Mingluo anymore.
The girl next to her chimed in, "Yeah, we just chatted for a bit, what's it to you? Why are you all eavesdropping on other people's conversations? Don't you have any manners?"
"Exactly! Nie Heng, how can you even be a man if you argue with a girl?"
"Besides, aren't we stating the facts? Didn't Mingluo say anything bad about Jiaojiao? Otherwise, why would Jiaojiao have been beaten? She herself is not clean, yet she criticizes others?"
"If anyone should be sending a lawyer's letter, it should be Jiaojiao who should be sending it."
The group chattered away, and their fighting strength suddenly gained the upper hand.
Nie Heng was furious, but he was completely helpless against a group of girls.
Mingluo's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery, and a sarcastic smile curved her lips. "You all speak so righteously, it seems you and Ming Jiaojiao are indeed like sisters. Then let's send lawyer's letters together. Your name is Zhao Feifei? Your name is Liu Yiran?"
Mingluo retrieved the names of these people from the original owner's memories; these were all people who loved to play with Ming Jiaojiao.
These people had spoken ill of Mingluo before, and they had openly and secretly ostracized her, making Mingluo always think it was her fault. She painstakingly lowered her self-esteem to please and adapt to them, and tried her best to integrate into the group.
Looking back now, it was practically self-torture.
The group immediately fell silent.
They didn't know if Minglu could send a lawyer's letter, but Nie Heng definitely could. His arrogant and spoiled rich kid image was deeply imprinted in everyone's minds.
Minglu scoffed lightly, "Such deep sisterly affection!"
Ming Jiaojiao glanced at the group, silently cursing them for being useless, but verbally defending them.
“Mingluo, if you have any problems, take them out on me. They are innocent. They just came out with me. If you have any complaints, take them out on me. Don’t take it out on them.”
"Jiaojiao!" The group was deeply moved.
Suddenly, a cold, stern male voice said, "Mingluo, what are you doing?"
Minglu looked up and saw Jingyan.
Several boys followed behind Jing Yan; those boys were Jing Yan's friends.
The original owner had seen Jing Yan's friends from afar before, but Jing Yan never introduced them to the original owner.
Is this true love?
How ironic.
Hearing Jing Yan's tone, Nie Heng was furious. "Why are you questioning Ming Luo right off the bat? Do you think Ming Luo is easy to bully? Control your woman! Talking badly about people behind their backs, what kind of manners are you?"
Nie Heng and his friends immediately shielded Mingluo behind them. The sight of several tall, long-legged men standing there created an overwhelming sense of security.
Jing Yan was furious. It was Nie Heng again!
A shameless sycophant, in the end he has nothing left.
He said coldly, "What does this have to do with you? Who are you to her? What right do you have to speak up for her?"
One sentence left Nie Heng speechless; he was just a backup option who hadn't been officially hired yet.
Minglu scoffed and said indifferently, "And who are you to me? What right do you have to question me? If you want to fight, come here! I'll give you a handicap."
She beckoned with her finger, her face full of disdain.
This disdainful look could shatter any man's self-esteem.
Jing Yan's face was ashen, and he stared at Ming Luo with hatred in his eyes. This woman was now treating him like an enemy. Was this what she called her ten years of liking him?
That's a joke!
"I'm introducing my friend to Jiaojiao today, so I won't stoop to your level."
Ming Jiaojiao immediately stepped forward and hugged Jing Yan's arm with a coquettish smile, saying, "Alright, alright, don't argue, it's just a small misunderstanding, don't take it to heart. Quickly introduce your friend to me, okay?"
She was extremely pleased with herself.
She was involved in Jing Yan and Ming Luo's relationship almost from beginning to end, and knew exactly how far things had progressed. She also knew that Jing Yan had never introduced any of his friends to Ming Luo.
What does it mean when a man doesn't let his girlfriend integrate into his social circle?
This means that the man didn't care about the woman at all.
That alone was enough for her to despise Mingluo; Bai and Jingyan had been together for so long, yet she hadn't gotten anything in return...
Jing Yan felt much better instantly. Ming Jiaojiao was the kind of woman he should be; Ming Luo was just wasting her good looks.
He nodded, sat down, and introduced his friend to Ming Jiaojiao. "This is Zhao Yuanhang, the second young master of Chengfeng Technology."
Zhao Yuanhang stood up, not looking at Ming Jiaojiao, but staring intently at Nie Heng with a mixture of hesitation and joy on his face.
Nie Heng looked impatient, and even had a strange suspicion that the other person was gay and had taken a liking to him. He said irritably, "What are you looking at?"
Zhao Yuanhang laughed and said, "Are you Nie Heng from the Nie family?"
"You know me?" Nie Heng didn't remember such a person. He participated in too many events every year, and while many others knew him, he knew very few.
Zhao Yuanhang immediately came over and said in a fawning and respectful manner, "I've seen you before, don't you remember me? This is my business card. Young Master Nie, come visit me anytime you have time. I'll pay for today's expenses. Please give me a chance, Young Master Nie."
Nie Heng doesn't like to take advantage of others, but he's extremely happy to save face for Jing Yan.
He immediately said, "Sure, no problem. Call all your friends over, let's play together."
“Okay!” Zhao Yuanhang immediately agreed and called to the others, “Come over here, Young Master Nie is here.”
Some of the others knew about the Nie family and immediately abandoned Jing Yan to come over, while others didn't, but seeing this, they knew that the Nie family was not someone to be offended, and immediately surrounded them as well.
Jing Yan: "..."
Ming Jiaojiao: "..."
