Duan Ye nodded without hesitation: "Yes, only I can call him that."
Sun Xiaoyin covered her mouth and collapsed into Lin Feng's arms, laughing.
"Wow, it's only been a short time, and they're already showing off their love?"
Liu Jie: "Yeah, married men really are different."
Ning Zhi laughed along, "Newlyweds, isn't this perfectly normal?"
As she spoke, Ning Zhi reached out and took Liu Jie's arm, then looked at Luo Qingyuan: "I heard that Sister Luo works at Henglun?"
Luo Qingyuan looked at Ning Zhi with a slightly cold gaze: "Yes, what's wrong?"
Ning Zhi smiled and said, "Henglun is considered one of the top conglomerates in Beijing. I've heard that only geniuses can get in. I'm really curious, what does Sister Luo do at Henglun?"
Luo Qingyuan: "Just a lowly employee, not worth mentioning."
Luo Qingyuan clearly didn't want to talk about it anymore, but Ning Zhi was somewhat persistent.
"A junior employee? I heard from my friend Jie that Sister Luo is an assistant to a high-level leader. She's so young, yet she can afford to buy a house in Kyoto and drives a BMW. I'm really curious, what kind of assistant can..."
Upon hearing this, Liu Jie's face turned ugly, and he immediately grabbed Ning Zhi's hand: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
At this moment, the atmosphere at the dinner table changed.
Sun Xiaoyin and Lin Feng dared not look at the faces, and Duan Ye's face was even more gloomy. Only Luo Qingyuan remained calm and even smiled slightly.
Liu Jie quickly stood up to smooth things over: "Um... I'm really sorry. Ning Zhi has little life experience, so please forgive her if she said anything wrong. I'll punish myself with three drinks. Don't take it too seriously, sister-in-law."
After saying that, Liu Jie quickly filled three glasses with baijiu and drank them one after another.
Lin Feng then said, "Sit down and let's eat."
Duan Ye turned around and smiled as he served food to Luo Qingyuan: "What would you like to eat? I'll get you some..."
Between brothers, everyone wants to save face for each other.
Ning Zhi, however, shook off Liu Jie's hand with displeasure, frowning and saying, "You pinched me too hard."
"I'm just telling the truth. My cousin also works at Henglun. I just wanted to ask around. Maybe Sister Luo knows my cousin. Maybe he can take care of her at the company in the future."
Sun Xiaoyin, who usually has a good temper, couldn't help but say, "Sister Ning, there are thousands of people in Henglun Group. Everyone is busy with their own work, so the chances of getting to know each other are very small."
Lin Feng also tried to smooth things over: "We're here to eat hot pot today, why are we talking about work? Let's eat."
Sun Xiaoyin: "Yes, yes, let's eat."
The smile had vanished from Duan Ye's face.
Luo Qingyuan wanted to give her face one more time.
but…
Ning Zhi smiled and said, "Sister Luo, I was just asking about work. Could it be... that there's something you can't tell me?"
Duan Ye slammed his hand on the table, causing all the bowls and plates to shake and the chopsticks to fall to the ground.
Sun Xiaoyin was startled, and her face paled slightly.
Duan Ye coldly looked at Ning Zhi: "I'm not saying anything out of respect for Liu Jie. Ning Zhi, who do you think you are? Do you even have the right to use your filthy thoughts to slander my wife?"
Liu Jie sat there with a gloomy face, not saying a word.
Ning Zhi's face flushed red and then turned pale. She wanted to curse back, but Duan Ye's face was so ugly that he looked like he wanted to eat someone alive, and she couldn't say a word for a moment.
Ning Zhi quickly pushed Liu Jie, saying, "You good-for-nothing! Your girlfriend has been insulted like this, and you..."
Liu Jie suddenly stood up and slapped Ning Zhi across the face, making a crisp "smack!"
Ning Zhi screamed in fright, "Ah..." and quickly covered her face.
Liu Jie was so angry that his heart ached, and he couldn't help but roar, "Ning Zhi, it's one thing for you to be willful all the time, but this is how you treat my best friend when I introduce you to him?"
Lin Feng quickly stood up and pulled Liu Jie away, saying, "That's enough, one slap is enough."
Ning Zhi's tears immediately fell as she glared fiercely at Liu Jie: "I just want to know what Luo Qingyuan is doing, and why you're all protecting her like this?"
In that instant, Liu Jie was so angry he wanted to strangle her.
Everyone was indignant, and Liu Jie even wanted to kick her a couple more times, but Luo Qingyuan's casual remark silenced everyone.
Luo Qingyuan: "Ning Zhi, what's your cousin's name?"
Ning Zhi's face was grim, but she still stubbornly said, "Ningbo, he works in a core department. I meant well; it's not easy for a woman in a big company..."
Luo Qingyuan chuckled, picked up the tea in front of her, and looked at Liu Jie: "I'll be driving later and won't be able to drink, so I'll accept your apology."
After saying that, Luo Qingyuan picked up her bag, and Duan Ye followed behind her. The two prepared to leave.
Liu Jie immediately came over and grabbed Duan Ye: "Brother Duan, this was my fault today. I will apologize to your wife in person another day."
Duan Ye patted his shoulder, said nothing more, and took Luo Qingyuan's hand and left.
Sun Xiaoyin took Lin Feng's hand and said, "Brother Lin, let's go."
Lin Feng nodded and stood up as well.
Liu Jie looked at Lin Feng with a troubled expression.
Lin Feng didn't say anything, just shook his head, sighed, and left.
Only Liu Jie and Ning Zhi remained in their seats.
Liu Jie scratched his head, then grabbed his coat and phone and left without looking back.
Ning Zhi was surprised by Liu Jie's reaction.
For the sake of an outsider, not only did they beat her, but they also left her here alone.
Ning Zhi froze for three seconds, then quickly grabbed her bag and chased after Liu Jie, stopping him and demanding, "Liu Jie, what do you mean? You actually hit me for Luo Qingyuan? Do you like her? Do you have a crush on her?"
"Besides, am I wrong? An assistant can buy a house in Kyoto outright. In that area, it must cost at least several million yen, right? Where did she get the money? I was just offering a friendly reminder..."
Liu Jie's face grew darker and darker, and his hands became increasingly itchy. He held back for a long time before managing not to slap Ning Zhi in public.
Liu Jie: "First of all, Duan Ye is my best brother. Brothers wouldn't have any designs on each other's women. Secondly, whatever Luo Qingyuan does is a matter between her and her husband, and it's not your place as an outsider to offer so-called well-intentioned advice."
Ning Zhi's expression changed slightly, and she felt somewhat ashamed.
But she just couldn't stand Luo Qingyuan. The bag Luo Qingyuan was carrying today was the latest model on the market, and she knew it was worth over a million yuan.
This is definitely not something an ordinary office worker can get.
Ning Zhi: "But her bag..."
Liu Jie surrendered with both hands: "Stop, I don't want to hear your pointless explanations anymore."
"The third point I want to make to you now is..."
Let's break up.
Ning Zhi's expression instantly spiraled out of control: "You're actually going to break up with me for Luo Qingyuan? And you still say you have no feelings for her? You bastard!!"
As he spoke, Ning Zhi took out his bag and hit Liu Jie.
Liu Jie was so angry that he grabbed her hand and pulled so hard that Ning Zhi screamed.
Liu Jie: "I'm fucking crazy to have fallen for a crazy woman like you!"
After saying that, Liu Jie shook off Ning Zhi and strode away.
