"Ji Zheng, it's been a long time."
He Ting glanced at the man behind her and said sourly, "You take him everywhere you go, you two are inseparable."
Ji Zheng glared at him. "What's it to you? It's Grandpa's birthday today, and I don't want to make a move at his birthday banquet."
Recalling the slap, He Ting quickly explained, "Bai Rou and I are not like that. We have no relationship whatsoever."
"That's none of my business."
Ji Zheng was getting more and more annoyed with this person.
He didn't cherish her when they were together, but after the breakup, he's like a fly, always hovering in front of her, impossible to kill or get rid of.
She said coldly, "I clearly didn't send you an invitation, so how did you sneak in?"
He Ting flicked his hair. "It's just a small invitation; it can't stop me from wanting to see you."
The oil made her nauseous, and Ji Zheng didn't want to say a word, so she walked away.
"Wait, Ji Zheng, don't go. I have something to say."
He Ting reached for her hand, but Chu Ling stood between them expressionlessly, saying, "Miss doesn't want to see you. Please don't bother her."
He Ting shoved him, "What right do you have to interfere when I'm talking to Ji Zheng?"
Chu Ling instinctively wanted to retaliate, but then realized that this was Old Master Ji's banquet, and he was just a bodyguard.
He forcefully suppressed his instincts and stood between the two.
He Ting scoffed dismissively, "What do you see in a blockhead like him?"
Ji Zheng could no longer bear it. "Chu Ling, throw him out. I'll handle Grandpa's situation."
Chu Ling received her order, grabbed He Ting by the collar with one hand, and strode toward the door.
"Holy crap!!"
He Ting hadn't expected this situation.
Ji Zheng was so heartless, not giving him a chance to explain, and even had him thrown out.
He Ting struggled desperately, but found that he couldn't move.
This scene looks familiar; he was also dumped by Qi Wenye once before.
Chu Ling looks thin, but his strength is about the same as Qi Wenye's. What did these two eat to grow up like this?
He Ting fell to the ground with a thud, getting a mouthful of grass in his mouth.
In a fit of anger, he snapped, "You just wait!"
Chu Ling didn't even glance at him, turning back to continue protecting the young lady.
He Ting rubbed his bottom and sat in the grass, lost in thought.
He and Ji Zheng are most likely done for.
They were such a wonderful couple, how did things come to this?
"Young Master He, it's been a long time."
A woman in a pink dress and with exquisite makeup reached out her hand, "The ground is cold at night, get up quickly."
He Ting looked up, "You are that... what's your name again?"
The woman's face contorted for a moment. "Young Master He, you must have a bad memory. I am Han Meiyue."
Her tone was very intimate, leading unsuspecting people to believe they had a close relationship.
He Ting remembered, "Ji Zheng's roommate, Xiao Mei."
Han Meiyue bit her lower lip hard, cursing inwardly.
You are called Xiaomei, your whole family is called Xiaomei.
She chuckled, "Haha, Young Master He hasn't changed at all; he's still as witty and humorous as ever."
He Ting stood up, patted the grass off his bottom, and said, "You've changed. You've not only gotten older, but you've also become ugly."
He added, "I'm the kind of person who likes to tell the truth, so don't mind me. Of course, it's no use if you do mind, because I really can't say the word 'beautiful' to an ugly face."
Han Meiyue was furious.
Ugh! I really want to kill him and Ji Zheng.
Calm down, calm down, she has important things to do.
Han Meiyue laughed awkwardly, "Haha, my makeup wasn't done well today, please forgive me, Young Master He."
She stepped forward. "Young Master He, you have grass on your head. Let me remove it for you..."
Before she could finish speaking, He Ting suddenly stepped back, keeping a safe distance from her.
He Ting covered his nose. "What's that smell on you? It's like a pair of stinky socks that haven't been washed in three hundred years. Stay away from me."
Han Meiyue clenched her fists tightly.
Calm down, calm down.
Ahh! She couldn't take it anymore!
Han Meiyue made an excuse to leave, "Young Master He, I have something to do, see you next time."
Damn it! She didn't run into He Ting, how is she supposed to carry out her plan now?
Forget it, I'll find He Ting another day. I need to deal with Ji Zheng first; it wouldn't be good to miss this opportunity.
Han Meiyue spent a few minutes finding the person. She brought over two glasses of red wine and said, "Old classmate, it's been a long time."
Ji Zheng glanced at her. "Han Meiyue, it's been a long time since I've seen you."
"I went abroad to study and only recently came back." Han Meiyue handed her the red wine in her hand. "Shall we have a toast?"
"It's Grandpa's birthday, so I shouldn't drink alcohol." Ji Zheng raised a glass of juice, her tone very formal. "Welcome back to China."
She and Han Meiyue were once roommates and best friends, but too many things happened, and the two gradually drifted apart.
Han Meiyue didn't insist. She gently touched the cup, her fingertips brushing against Ji Zheng's fingers.
The first step was a success.
Han Meiyue lowered her eyelids, concealing the excitement in her eyes, "Ji Zheng, congratulations on becoming the CEO of the Ji family."
Ji Zheng took a sip of juice. "Thank you."
Han Meiyue looked for her next target, then glanced at the man beside her. "And who is this?"
Ji Zheng said calmly, "Chu Ling, my assistant and bodyguard."
Han Meiyue smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Chu."
Chu Ling remained expressionless. "Hello."
Han Meiyue rolled her eyes and chose him as the second person.
Ji Zheng walked away, saying, "I have something to attend to, please excuse me."
"Ji Zheng, wait a minute." Han Meiyue pretended to fall and bumped into Chu Ling, "Ouch."
Chu Ling did not reach out to help her up, letting her fall to the ground.
Red wine was spilled all over the floor, staining Han Meiyue's skirt and Chu Ling's shoes.
Her skirt was soaked, and she tripped and fell in a sorry state. Han Meiyue was furious.
All the men around Ji Zheng are like this, with only her in their eyes.
Han Meiyue was driven mad with jealousy.
She was the one who confessed first, but He Ting ended up with Ji Zheng, which made her furious.
However, Ji Zheng's smile quickly faded.
Han Meiyue had just run into Chu Ling, and the second step was complete. She was waiting to see the show.
The news that the eldest daughter of the Ji family and her bodyguard got together at her grandfather's birthday banquet is sure to be a huge shock.
