"Wait a minute, sit in the seat next to you. I want to sit in this seat because my friends are coming over later!"
Lu Yi also pulled out the stool next to him for Zhou Jingyu with both hands.
Zhou Jingyu glanced at Lu Yi, and Lu Yi touched his nose guiltily. Zhou Jingyu sat down in the chair that Lu Yi had specially pulled out for him.
Sitting next to her was Liu Ying again.
Since Liu Ying added Zhou Jingyu on WeChat last time, she has had several contacts with Zhou Jingyu, all of which were business dealings in the company. The family business behind her is quite strong, and after several discussions, both parties have the intention to cooperate.
When Liu Ying saw Zhou Jingyu sitting over, she turned around and gave him a sweet smile.
Zhou Jingyu nodded slightly. The things that happened in high school were a long time ago. In his memory, he and Liu Ying only had a brief intersection due to some things in class, and they were not actually very familiar with each other.
Liu Ying heard from Zhou Jingyu last time that he had a blind date. She was sad for a long time after she went back, but then she thought that a blind date was not the same as a girlfriend, so why should she be sad? Even if they had a good impression of each other, they had not yet reached the stage of dating, so she still had a chance.
No woman would want to miss such a high-quality man as Zhou Jingyu. So she quickly cheered up and bravely pursued true love through work.
Liu Ying came to the dinner party organized by the group today just for Zhou Jingyu.
But Zhou Jingyu was like an iceberg, covered in ice that was difficult to melt, and he was extremely unromantic.
Liu Ying tried to talk to him several times, but he just nodded in response, or ended the topic with a few short words and went on to talk to someone else, which made Liu Ying feel powerless.
People arrived one after another, and finally only the seat next to Lu Yi was empty.
Someone asked, "Lu Yi, who is coming? You won't tell me even when I ask you. You are being so mysterious."
Lu Yi just laughed twice, his face full of smiles.
After a while, Lu Yi received a call and stood up from his seat.
"Wait a minute, I'm going to pick someone up."
Having said that, he went out.
Two or three minutes later, he pushed the door open and was followed by a woman who had a graceful and elegant demeanor.
"Wow!" Everyone exclaimed when they saw who was coming.
Lu Yi led Jiang Qianya to an empty seat and sat her down. Lu Yi said, "Come, let me introduce you to my friend, Jiang Qianya."
The crowd was filled with the sound of “wow wow” again.
"I was wondering why you were being so secretive. Turns out a big star is coming! How disrespectful!"
"Since you brought them all here, I'm afraid they're more than just friends!"
"Oh my god, this is terrible!"
"Tsk, enough talking, I must have a few more drinks with you later!"
…
As soon as Jiang Qianya came in, she grabbed everyone's attention.
Amid everyone's teasing, Jiang Qianya lowered her head slightly, pursed her lips and smiled, with a slight blush on her face, revealing a shy look.
Although Lu Yi has already decided that Jiang Qianya is his girlfriend, Jiang Qianya has not responded positively, so Lu Yi cannot really bear the title of her boyfriend. Seeing that everyone is talking more and more outrageous, Lu Yi stood up to defend her: "Don't say anything, we are really just friends. She went back to Lingcheng for a two-day vacation, and I specially invited her here!"
As for why she was invited here specially, everyone knew it.
Since Lu Yi said this, everyone quieted down and stopped teasing them.
Jiang Qianya had met Zhou Jingyu once a dozen days ago. They had even taken the same flight from Liuzhou to Lingcheng. Originally, among all the men pursuing her, Lu Yi had the best conditions and was the one that best met her requirements and expectations for her other half in life. He was rich, handsome, and came from a wealthy family. She almost agreed to date him, but before she could nod, she met Zhou Jingyu.
People can't stand comparison.
After hearing from Lu Yi that Zhou Jingyu would come to the party, she followed him.
After entering the room, her eyes were immediately locked on Zhou Jingyu. However, according to her observation, everyone responded to her enthusiastically, except Zhou Jingyu, who always looked indifferent.
But even so, Jiang Qianya's heart still beat fast.
He is really very different.
Now that everyone has arrived, we notify them to serve the food.
Everyone at the table was eating and talking, laughing and chatting, but Zhou Jingyu couldn't fit in. He placed his phone on the table, looking at it from time to time, frowning slightly.
He had sent her two or three messages today, but all of them fell on deaf ears. Was she so busy today? In the past, she would always reply within an hour, no matter how busy she was.
Since last night, I felt that something was wrong with her. She spoke very little, was very perfunctory, and went to bed earlier than usual. What happened?
Could it be that she discovered the truth?
Liu Ying was sitting next to Zhou Jingyu. She was sensitive to the fact that Zhou Jingyu's eyes would often pause on his phone. Liu Ying was silent for a moment, then mustered up her courage and asked tentatively, "Everyone brought their families with them. Why didn't you bring your girlfriend?"
Because she was too concerned, Liu Ying overlooked that before Zhou Jingyu came here, he had no idea that so many people were waiting for him here.
He was tricked by Lu Yi to come here, so how could he bring his girlfriend?
Zhou Jingyu heard the question but hadn't answered yet. Lu Yi, who was standing next to him, heard it and answered even faster than he did.
"How can he have a girlfriend? He's been single for ten thousand years!" Lu Yi looked at Zhou Jingyu with disdain and sighed, "Why hasn't a woman come to take this monster away? As soon as he comes back, all the women flock to him like crazy. Now, because he's single, none of us can find a girlfriend!!"
When women act, they become movie queens.
After hearing this, Liu Ying let out an "Ah?" and pretended to be confused. She pointed her slender finger at Zhou Jingyu and asked in disbelief, "He... doesn't have a girlfriend yet? Didn't he say at the last party that he already had a blind date that he was getting along well with?"
Liu Ying herself joined in and said that the chat was going well. After all, Zhou Jingyu personally admitted that the blind date partner was very good, so if he was good, then the chat must have been good as well.
Now it was Lu Yi's turn to be surprised.
"What? He's secretly dating someone? When did this happen?"
Lu Yi's eyes widened like bells as he stared straight at Zhou Jingyu. He couldn't believe that Zhou Jingyu didn't even tell him about the blind date, and he had to hear it from someone else!
Still not brothers?
Lu Yi had a loud voice, and everyone at the table could hear his roar.
Hearing that there was gossip to be heard, everyone at the table looked at Zhou Jingyu.
Being stared at by everyone with such gossipy eyes, Zhou Jingyu actually became the focus of attention because of this incident. He felt helpless. After a long while, he finally spoke: "My grandfather saw that I was over 30 and was afraid that I would be lonely for the rest of my life, so he asked a friend to introduce me to someone."
Didn't deny it.
The person involved said it nonchalantly, but the audience didn't think so!
"Lonely forever?"
"Just you????"
"Does your grandfather have any misunderstandings about you?"
“…”
After so many words, I finally summed it up in one sentence: "You really went on a blind date!"
Zhou Jingyu thought, although he didn't have a proper blind date, because of his grandfather's arrangements, he met her by chance, so it could be considered a blind date.
So he curled his lips and smiled, nodded slightly, and acknowledged it.
From his behavior, anyone with eyes could see how satisfied he was with his legendary blind date.
"If I had known, I should have told you earlier. I wanted you to bring your girlfriend over to meet everyone!"
"Let us open our eyes and see who is the woman who can capture Mr. Zhou?"
"That's right, I miscalculated!"
…
Everyone talked one after another, and in the end, everyone thought that it was a great regret that they had not met the blind date Zhou Jingyu mentioned. They had known each other for many years, and after meeting twice, the familiar feeling returned. Zhou Jingyu was cold and heartless. Who was this woman who had the ability to capture him?
After everyone finished talking, Zhou Jingyu spoke seriously, "It's just a blind date, not a girlfriend yet."
At this time, the word "return" seems very spiritual.
Everyone looked at each other, and suddenly realized something. However, Zhou Jingyu did not explain anything. Thinking of the person who chatted with him on the phone every day, he curled his lips and smiled slightly. He never showed his emotions, and this was the greatest emotional exposure he had ever made.
The author has something to say:
Completed~
I want to get perfect attendance this month. There is a little red flower in the background, it looks nice!
Chapter 30
"Have you eaten the melon?"
"What?"
"Today's big melon."
"I know, that's Wen Tang, right?!"
"Yeah, yeah, it shocked my whole family!"
The meal was coming to an end and we were chatting when someone suddenly brought up the topic.
Zhou Jingyu had been concentrating most of his attention on his mobile phone which hadn't received any messages the whole night. At first, he had no interest in the gossip they were talking about until someone suddenly mentioned Wen Tang's name.
He is busy all day and doesn't pay attention to the entertainment industry on weekdays, so naturally he doesn't know what happens in the entertainment industry every day.
Although Liu Ying sat next to Zhou Jingyu, closest to him, Zhou Jingyu was either chatting with other people or sitting alone in his seat looking at his phone. She could not find any topic to talk about, and he was even more cold and difficult to get along with than at the last class reunion.
Seeing that the party was coming to an end and was about to end, Liu Ying thought that she must find an opportunity to say a few words to Zhou Jingyu, otherwise wouldn't today's trip be in vain?
Just when he was eager to try but didn't know how to start, he saw Zhou Jingyu, who had been stroking the phone in his hand and thinking about something with his head down, suddenly raised his head.
Liu Ying has been very smart since she was young. When she saw this, a light bulb went off in her head.
"You just returned to China, and you know Wen Tang?" Liu Ying asked at this time. As expected, she successfully attracted Zhou Jingyu's attention.
When Zhou Jingyu's cold and clear gaze fell on her, Liu Ying suddenly felt a palpitation in her heart. Ever since she was in school, Zhou Jingyu had always had a fatal attraction to her that was hard for ordinary people to imagine.
At that time, she made many efforts to get closer to him, but the final result was just to let others around them think that they were the most suitable couple. She was often secretly happy because of such comments. But all this stopped when Zhou Jingyu went abroad.
Being stared at by Zhou Jingyu, Liu Ying's heart beat wildly. She tried to remain calm, but the slight blush on her face could not be dissipated.
She said softly: "Speaking of which, Wen Tang is really popular now. No wonder you can recognize her even though you haven't been in the country for ten years."
