It's evening.
Zhu Yichen and Song Ning played golf and got tired.
"Little sister, let me treat you to dinner. Let's go."
Song Ning was a little embarrassed. "Brother, you treated me to golf today, so there's no need for dinner."
"Oh, don't be so polite with me. Let's go."
Without giving her a chance to explain, Zhu Yichen pulled her into the car.
Soon, Zhu Yichen brought Song Ning to a Western restaurant.
On the other side...
Qiu Ya deliberately tattled to Grandpa Lian, saying that Huo Beian wasn't close to her. Grandpa Lian then made a special phone call to criticize Huo Beian, telling him to get closer to Qiu Ya, since they were getting married soon.
Huo Beian reluctantly agreed to go out to eat with Qiu Ya, putting on an act. Qiu Ya said she wanted to go out to eat, and he reluctantly agreed.
Upon learning that Lian Sicheng had agreed to go out to dinner with her, Qiu Ya, in an attempt to regain the upper hand, took the initiative to contact paparazzi, trying to capture images of the two of them having dinner so that they could trend on social media and show off their affection.
As Huo Beian was driving, he looked in the rearview mirror and saw what appeared to be a car behind him, with what looked like flashing lights coming from inside.
Could it be paparazzi?
This Qiu Ya actually contacted the media privately to take photos; it's unbelievable.
Huo Beian's impression of Qiu Ya worsened considerably. This woman was not only vicious, but also vain.
They arrived at a Michelin five-star restaurant.
At this moment, Zhu Yichen and Song Ning are also having a meal here.
Song Ning looked up and saw Huo Beian. She was furious to see that Huo Beian had brought Qiu Ya to dinner.
Seeing the man she loved so deeply bring another woman into her home, she felt a sharp pain in her heart.
I felt my whole body trembling.
Seeing that she looked unwell, Zhu Yichen asked, "Little sister, what's wrong?"
Song Ning pointed to Huo Beian on the other side without saying anything. Zhu Yichen looked over and immediately understood.
"Heh, he actually brought a woman here so brazenly, speechless. Little sister, don't pay him any mind, come on, let me get you some food."
Song Ning didn't stop him, so Zhu Yichen thoughtfully served him some food.
At that moment, Huo Beian also saw Song Ning and realized that she was having dinner with Zhu Yichen. His expression also turned sour.
However, he couldn't show it too obviously in front of Qiu Ya.
Qiu Ya seemed to have seen Song Ning as well, so she deliberately pointed to the table behind Song Ning and said, "Come on, Sicheng, let's sit down over there."
Huo Beian had no choice but to do as she said, and the two of them sat in the back.
During the meal, Qiu Ya deliberately spoke loudly and asked, "Brother Sicheng, what do you think of this wedding dress?"
"Brother Sicheng, what do you think of this jewelry ring?"
Huo Beian didn't speak, he just nodded, but Song Ning, who was sitting behind him, heard it all and felt very upset.
She stood up excitedly.
"Brother, I need to go to the restroom."
She then left and went to the restroom; she needed to calm herself down.
Huo Beian felt very sad as he watched her leave.
"I'm going to the restroom too." He tried to stand up, but Qiu Ya stopped him.
"Brother Sicheng, I'll go first. You watch the buns for me."
She knew what Lian Sicheng wanted to do, and she wouldn't let him have his way.
Qiu Ya then got up and went to the restroom.
At this moment, only Zhu Yichen and Huo Beian remained at the dinner table.
Zhu Yichen walked directly to Huo Beian and sat down. "Lian Sicheng. You're the one who didn't want Song Ning, but I'm going to take her away. You'll regret it."
Huo Beian didn't speak, but stared at him with eyes like a hawk, "You dare?!"
"Hehe, why wouldn't I dare? You're already engaged to Qiu Ya, are you going to have your cake and eat it too? You can't be too greedy."
Zhu Yichen looked at him with a smile, his tone teasing, "To be honest, I fell in love with Song Ning the moment I saw her. I'll pursue her. Hehe."
Huo Beian slammed his fist on the table and stood up angrily, shouting, "Zhu Yichen!!!"
Zhu Yichen curled his lip, his eyes filled with provocation, "You're angry already? If you're so capable, give up your billions in inheritance and marry Song Ning! What are you pretending to be so devoted to me for!"
Huo Beian slammed his fist on the table, his eyes blazing with fury, but he managed to suppress his anger. He sat down and took a sip of coffee to calm himself down.
"Why aren't you being arrogant anymore? Did I hit the nail on the head?" Zhu Yichen looked at his angry face with a smile, his expression intriguing.
"I don't want to waste my breath on you. But Song Ning loves me, and you can't take her away from me." Huo Beian clenched his fist, looking at him with deep, unfathomable eyes.
"Really? You betrayed her, do you think she'll still love you? I doubt it. You know, I've been the one spending the last few days with her." Zhu Yichen still smiled, a hint of mystery in his narrow eyes.
"Just wait and see." Huo Beian looked at him coldly.
"Alright, we'll see." Zhu Yichen then smiled and got up to go to his table.
At that moment, in the bathroom, Song Ning looked in the mirror and could no longer hold back. Tears welled up in her eyes and fell onto the sink. She broke down and cried.
The thought that Huo Beian had just been right behind her, eating with another woman, separated only by a partition, yet feeling like they were from two different worlds, was unbearable for her.
My heart is really aching...
So this is what it feels like to be abandoned by someone you deeply love...
Tears welled up uncontrollably.
She dared not cry out loud, so she covered her mouth with her hand, and soon teeth marks appeared on the back of her hand.
"Cry as much as you want to cry."
A crisp sound came from behind.
Song Ning turned around and saw that it was Qiu Ya, so she quickly reached out to wipe away her tears.
Qiu Ya arrived at the sink, looked at the disheveled Song Ning, and laughed—a loud laugh. "Song Ning. So what? You lost. Lian Sicheng will marry me in the end."
Song Ning didn't answer, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart. Yes, she had lost, lost miserably.
"However, it's understandable that you lost. After all, I'm the daughter of a conglomerate, while you're just a small-time internet celebrity. Overestimating yourself only leads to humiliation. But I really hope you can attend our wedding."
After saying that, she took out an invitation and handed it to her.
Song Ning's eyes were filled with anger. She looked at Qiu Ya, gritted her teeth, took the invitation, tore it to shreds, and threw it into the trash can.
"You're dreaming if you want me to participate."
Seeing her angry expression, Qiu Ya couldn't help but chuckle. "What are you pretending to be so high and mighty for? You're nothing but a clown, a social media influencer who's been played and dumped by men."
Song Ning could no longer hold back and slapped her across the face.
"Smack!"
Soon, bright red handprints appeared on Qiu Ya's face.
"How dare you hit me? How could you!" Qiu Ya covered her face, feeling a sharp pain, and shouted angrily.
"Why wouldn't I dare?! So what if you're rich? Everyone is equal. I can't stand the arrogant attitude of you rich heiresses! If you keep acting like this, I'll beat you up every time I see you!"
