Lin Beichen was standing at the end of the corridor, frowning as he watched the two of them eavesdropping.
When they came over, they reached out and gave Lin Ningning a sharp rap on the forehead. "Can't you tone it down a bit, you gossip queen? Don't you see all those door gods guarding the entrance? All you do is make a fool of yourself every day."
Lin Ningning winced in pain, clutching her forehead and glaring at Lin Beichen with displeasure.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
"To teach you a lesson."
Faced with the blame, Lin Ningning pouted, clearly unconcerned. "So what? As long as I know what these two men's attitude is, I don't care if people laugh at me."
As she spoke, she made a face at Lin Beichen.
Jian Yu walked past them and said, "Alright, stop arguing, let's hurry up and go!"
Seeing this, Lin Beichen and Lin Ningning quickly followed.
The three of them walked outside together, only to find that Huo Tingzhen, who was supposed to be waiting there, had already driven away.
Jian Yu had no choice but to turn to Lin Beichen and ask, "Um... would you mind giving me a ride?"
Lin Beichen nodded without hesitation, "Of course."
However, he then added, "My car is parked a little far away, so we'll have to walk a bit."
So the three of them walked side by side, heading towards the parking lot.
Just as they had taken a few steps, Huo Tingzhen suddenly called.
It turns out that Huo Tingzhen hadn't gone too far.
Instead, they drove the car to the other side of the road.
After hanging up the phone, Jian Yu hurriedly waved goodbye to Lin Beichen and Lin Ningning, then jogged across the road and ran towards Huo Tingzhen's car.
After Jian Yu got into the car, panting, she couldn't wait to tell Huo Tingzhen everything she had heard outside the door.
"Tingzhen, let me tell you, Merlin arrived yesterday."
As Jian Yu spoke, he observed Huo Tingzhen's reaction.
Upon hearing this, Huo Tingzhen merely raised an eyebrow slightly and calmly replied, "Oh? So what if he's here? Anyway, he can't get into the company or break into my house. Besides, I have so many bodyguards protecting me, so I don't need to worry about him causing any trouble."
Jian Yu frowned slightly, a hint of hesitation in his eyes. After a moment, he slowly spoke, "What about Bao Yanbai? Were you serious about what you just said?"
Huo Tingzhen nodded without hesitation, "Of course I'm serious."
Jian Yu looked puzzled and asked, "But you clearly showed reluctance to part with Bao Yanbai last night, so why did you suddenly change your mind today?"
Huo Tingzhen took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind.
"I am indeed reluctant to part with him, but just now, I suddenly realized something. If I really want to be with Bao Yanbai, then I will have to meet someone like his mother as my mother-in-law in the future. I feel that even if we are together, it will be difficult for us to find true happiness in the end."
Jian Yu nodded thoughtfully, indicating his agreement with Huo Tingzhen's point of view.
"Yes, what you said makes sense. Bao Yanbai's mother is not at all the well-educated, gentle and virtuous person that people say she is. On the contrary, she is an extremely domineering and tyrannical person. Even if Bao Yanbai goes to her in person, she probably won't easily lower her head and apologize to you. All the fantasies about a perfect mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship are just wishful thinking on Bao Yanbai's part."
At this point, Jian Yu couldn't help but sigh softly, "So, perhaps breaking up is the best choice!"
The two chatted all the way home. As soon as they entered, Huo Tingzhen felt a great weight lifted off her shoulders and buried herself in the covers. She said weakly, "Ugh, I'm exhausted! I need to get a good night's sleep now. Oh, by the way, ask Lin Ningning if she's free tomorrow. If she is, I'd like to take you all out to relax."
Jian Yu looked at Huo Tingzhen with great interest and teased, "You like Lin Ningning?"
Huo Tingzhen rolled over, buried her face in the pillow, and answered in a muffled voice, "I just think this girl is quite likable."
Jian Yu smiled and replied, "Okay, I understand. I'll go ask right away."
When Lin Ningning heard that someone had invited her out, she was overjoyed and immediately agreed, "Of course, no problem! I've been quite free lately and was just wondering where to kill time."
Jian Yu replied, "Okay, it's settled then. See you tomorrow."
When Lin Ningning heard that she wanted to go out with her, she replied, "No problem, I've been very free lately."
The next day, Huo Tingzhen got up early and carefully dressed herself up.
She was dressed in a gorgeous long dress, paired with exquisite makeup and sparkling jewelry, making her look radiant and extraordinary.
Jian Yu, standing to the side, was also dressed simply and elegantly.
Afterwards, they picked up the excited Lin Ningning and went together to the famous and top-notch entertainment city in the area.
As the car slowly came to a stop at the entrance of the entertainment center, the first thing that caught the eye was several tall, handsome men standing on both sides of the gate, warmly welcoming the guests.
As soon as Lin Ningning stepped out of the car, her gaze was drawn to the handsome greeters, and her eyes widened instantly.
After a while, she came to her senses, raised her hand shakily, pointed to the few greeters who could make one's heart flutter at first glance, and asked in a stammering voice, "What...what are these?"
Huo Tingzhen leisurely reached out and gently pulled down the sunglasses on his face, a mysterious smile appearing on his lips. "Like it?"
Lin Ningning swallowed hard, nodded obediently, and kept muttering, "Mmm, I love it so much!"
Seeing Lin Ningning's infatuated expression, Huo Tingzhen couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Once we go inside, I'll arrange for several handsome guys like these to keep you company. I guarantee you'll have a wonderful time tonight, just like a god!"
Just then, a manager with an even more outstanding appearance and elegant demeanor quickly came forward.
The manager greeted her with a broad smile, "Miss Huo, you've finally arrived! Please come this way!"
As he spoke, he didn't forget to politely smile and nod at Jian Yu and Lin Ningning.
Lin Ningning was completely immersed in the intoxicating atmosphere.
She clutched her chest tightly with one hand, her voice trembling with emotion.
"Oh my god, I feel like I'm going to die! All the people in here are even more beautiful than those celebrities on the internet!"
Jian Yu quickly reached out to support Lin Ningning's arm, and whispered a reminder, "Everyone is watching, so please don't fall down!"
However, Lin Ningning was in no mood to care whether others were looking at her or not. She stared blankly ahead, thinking, "With such beauty right in front of me, it would be perfectly normal to faint on the spot."
However, she still tried her best to straighten her body, "In front of such a handsome and charming young man, I can't possibly lose face."
Jianyu, “…”
No wonder Huo Tingzhen insisted on bringing Lin Ningning along; he had already seen through her true nature beneath her sweet and lovely appearance.
The VIP room was very spacious, and two rows of handsome men of high quality stood neatly inside.
Lin Ningning was overjoyed and reached out to grab Jian Yu beside her.
