Before An Yiruo could speak, Dong Cheng spoke again: "If I could reach the level of Mo Jingchen, would you also fall into my arms?"
“Dong Cheng, love isn’t about who has more money. I love him, even if he were a beggar, I would still love him,” An Yiruo explained to him.
"You're lying! You women just love to say one thing and mean another! If he were a beggar, would you even give him a second glance? You did it, so why are you trying to play the innocent?" Dong Cheng's face was full of contempt.
"Think what you want, but I'll say it again: I'm not a vain woman."
"Since that's the case, then break up with him and be with me," Dong Cheng continued to relentlessly pursue An Yiruo.
"How can you not understand? I don't like you, so naturally I won't be with you," An Yiruo said, and then got up to leave.
She didn't want to continue discussing this topic with him.
“An Yiruo, you’ll regret this someday. What’s so great about him? How am I inferior to him? Besides, he’s just playing around with you. Do you think someone with his qualifications would even be interested in you?”
They just took a liking to you because you're young and beautiful; once they're tired of you, they'll naturally discard you.
Dong Cheng spoke a little loudly to An Yiruo's back, which attracted a lot of attention from those around them.
Of course, this also includes Mo Jingchen, who was talking to someone not far away.
"Incomprehensible!" An Yiruo left those four words and stormed off.
My good mood was instantly ruined by his actions.
The cakes on the dessert table couldn't save her from her bad mood.
…………
On the other hand, Zhang Yuanyuan, who had just come out of the restroom, saw a familiar face at the end of the corridor, which looked like the blind date she had mistaken for someone else that day.
Driven by curiosity, she went forward to investigate. Sure enough, at the end of the corridor, she saw that devilish face again.
Just as I was about to go up and say hello, I pulled my leg back.
She thought to herself that she was just a passerby to him. Even if he remembered her, wouldn't he think she was deliberately trying to strike up a conversation?
Just as Zhang Yuanyuan stood there in her high heels, unsure whether to go forward or retreat, Lu Ze walked towards her.
Their eyes met, and Zhang Yuanyuan's heart raced. She was worried that he would recognize her, but also worried that he wouldn't.
Lu Ze walked up to Zhang Yuanyuan and stopped. "Miss Zhang, what a coincidence."
"Mr. Lu... what a coincidence. Do you also work at the Mo Corporation?"
"Me? I'm not here."
Lu Ze thought to himself, "I would never work for that ice-cold face."
"profound."
Zhang Yuanyuan had initially assumed he was an employee of the Mo family, which would give them common ground and provide opportunities to meet in the future. However, upon hearing his reply, the spark that had just ignited in her heart was instantly extinguished.
"Is Miss Zhang an employee of the Mo family?"
Lu Ze didn't know why he suddenly found himself next to Zhang Yuanyuan, asking these pointless questions.
"Yes, I work at Mo's, in the operations department."
Lu Ze nodded: "Ms. Zhang, see you again sometime. I have to go now."
Zhang Yuanyuan nodded politely. But as she watched Lu Ze's departing figure, she secretly regretted not asking for his WeChat!
He shook his head and returned to the banquet hall to look for An Yiruo.
Returning to their original positions, they discovered that An Yiruo was not there, so they expanded their search area, looking for An Yiruo throughout the entire venue.
Looking around, I saw An Yiruo sitting in another corner, looking slightly unhappy.
"Yi Ruo, what's wrong? Did you have a fight with the CEO?"
"No, something unpleasant just happened," An Yiruo said, looking at Zhang Yuanyuan with a blank expression.
"What's wrong? Did someone bully you? Tell me who it is! I'm going to beat them up!"
"It's nothing, just Dong Cheng!"
"Dong Cheng?" Zhang Yuanyuan asked in shock, then sat down next to An Yiruo.
"I don't know what got into him, but he came up to me with a New Year's gift and confessed his feelings to me! I refused, and he got angry and said some nasty things!"
"That brat! He actually likes you, and he kept it so well hidden!"
"I didn't expect it either, but I've made it clear to him. I can't control what he thinks," An Yiruo said, but being misunderstood was really upsetting.
"I'm not going to talk to him anymore. I'll tell him to get lost."
After venting her frustrations, An Yiruo seemed to feel a little better, and her face was no longer gloomy.
"I'll go get you some food. Wait for me a moment." Zhang Yuanyuan said, then walked towards the buffet counter in her high heels. She grabbed a glass of juice and a few snacks.
"Want to try some?"
"Um."
Taking the plate from Zhang Yuanyuan, I was surprised to find that Zhang Yuanyuan herself was also sitting there eating.
"You're not..."
"Forget it, eating is the most important thing. Men can take a backseat!"
"Tell me the truth, why?" An Yiruo stared at Zhang Yuanyuan with a probing look on her face.
"Okay, okay. I just ran into my blind date from last time, the one I mistakenly sat at the table with, at the bathroom door! Seeing him... I really can't think about anything else tonight."
"Could it be... that you... fell in love with him at first sight?" An Yiruo looked at Zhang Yuanyuan with a surprised expression and a slightly exaggerated look.
"Keep your voice down!" Zhang Yuanyuan immediately stepped forward and covered An Yiruo's mouth with her hand.
"So you fell in love with him at first sight?" An Yiru patted her hand, signaling her to take it down, and then spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear.
"It's hard for anyone not to fall in love with a man like him at first sight."
Zhang Yuanyuan's answer was irrelevant, yet it indirectly answered her question.
"I really want to see who this person is! He has captured the heart of our Yuanyuan."
"I thought he was an employee of the Mo family because he was here, but after asking, I found out he wasn't. In this vast sea of people, we probably won't see each other again."
Zhang Yuanyuan took a sip of juice and said with a hint of regret.
"I don't think so. If we are destined to meet again, we will. Didn't our encounter just now prove that point?"
"Don't try to comfort me. Such a huge windfall is definitely not going to fall into my lap."
However, your CEO seems very busy today! He hasn't come over to talk to you at all.
Although Zhang Yuanyuan also wanted this relationship, she didn't believe that she would be so fortunate by fate.
"Many of Mo's partners came today, and he was kept busy. However, we haven't made it public yet; it's better not to appear together in public."
An Yiruo took a sip of juice and said casually.
