Chapter 226 The Dance Hall Reappears
Jiang Ruzhen realized she had been discovered, so she turned around and greeted the two of them with a smile.
"Big brother, Sister Tang!"
The two people opposite were also stunned at the same time.
"Big brother?"
"Sister Tang?"
"You two know each other?"
The two looked at each other in bewilderment, and Jiang Ruzhen stepped forward with a smile to explain on their behalf.
She pointed to Jiang Zhengyu and introduced him to Tang Mi, "Sister Tang, this refined, upright, considerate, and gentle man is my elder brother, my biological elder brother from the same father and mother."
Then she pointed at Tang Mi and said to Jiang Zhengyu, "Brother, this beautiful, generous, and sincere woman is my good friend, my half-sister."
Seeing the shocked expressions on their faces, Jiang Ruzhen smiled. She stepped forward and took one of their arms with each hand, speaking very seriously.
"You didn't expect the world to be so small, did you? As the saying goes, fate brings people together even from a thousand miles away. The fate of the three of us is just so wonderful."
But seriously, brother, sister Tang, you didn't tell me about such a big thing as dating? Don't you consider me family?
Jiang Zhengyu felt a little dizzy and said awkwardly.
"I didn't expect you to catch me in the act. Your sister Tang and I are currently getting to know each other. I originally wanted to wait until our relationship was more stable before telling you and my parents."
Tang Mi was caught red-handed by her best friend and felt a little embarrassed. She nudged Jiang Ruzhen's shoulder.
"Little sister, don't be angry with me. Your brother and I only started dating within the last month, and I haven't had a chance to tell you yet."
"Hmph!" Jiang Ruzhen snorted coldly, pretending to be angry.
Jiang Zhengyu and Tang Mi did everything they could to make her happy, and finally Jiang Ruzhen relented.
"Fine, I won't be angry since you're so sincere. But as punishment, you have to come to the dance hall with me today and drink until you're completely drunk."
The two of them affectionately ruffled Jiang Ruzhen's hair at the same time, "Alright, I'll accompany you even if it costs me my life."
The three of them returned to the grand ballroom of the Hangzhou Hotel together. Looking at the familiar stage and the familiar scene, Jiang Ruzhen felt as if she had stepped into another world.
The last time she came here, she and Lu Mingzheng were still in the ambiguous stage. When he heard that she and Sister Tang were dancing here, he chased after her, forcefully pulled her into his arms, and became extremely jealous.
Jiang Ruzhen chuckled, and Tang Mi looked at her as she ordered the drinks.
"What's wrong? Thinking about something nice?"
Jiang Ruzhen shook her head with a wry smile. Tang Mi leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Are you thinking about your boyfriend? You've been dating for over a year, when are you getting married?"
Jiang Ruzhen picked up a glass of beer brought by the waiter and downed it in one gulp. Then she lowered her head and muttered softly.
"We can't get married anymore, and we've even lost him..."
"What do you mean?" Tang Mi wanted to ask again, but Jiang Ruzhen just kept drinking, one glass after another.
Seeing this, Tang Mi looked up at Jiang Zhengyu, who shrugged and said, "I don't know. When I came back, the two of them were all lovey-dovey. I don't know what's going on between them either."
Tang Mi turned her head and saw that Jiang Ruzhen didn't want to talk at all, so she had no choice but to drink with her.
She had experienced similar distress and sadness before. She had also been prone to overthinking and had done many wrong things in an attempt to maintain her relationship with her ex-husband.
If Jiang Ruzhen hadn't inadvertently given her some pointers, which made her see the light, she wouldn't know what she would be like now!
Seeing that Tang Mi was only circling around her, Jiang Ruzhen quickly pushed her into Jiang Zhengyu's arms, "Go, go, go, don't drink with me here. You two go dance and let me see my brother's dancing skills now."
Both of them looked at Jiang Ruzhen with great concern, but Jiang Ruzhen insisted that they go and play by themselves.
The two had no choice but to hold hands and walk onto the dance floor, dancing while keeping an eye on Jiang Ruzhen.
Jiang Ruzhen raised her wine glass and laughed happily at them, her bright and beautiful smile immediately causing a stir in the dance hall.
Many single men were tempted by the beautiful and single Jiang Ruzhen. Some couldn't resist and came over with wine glasses to toast her and ask her to dance.
Jiang Ruzhen accepted all offers of wine without hesitation.
Now that she's single again, she no longer has to worry about anyone being jealous or getting caught.
She's been feeling down lately, but today she's in a good mood and she's determined to drink as much as she wants.
As she drank glass after glass of wine, her vision began to blur.
Someone reached out to her, inviting her to dance. She strained her eyes and picked a young, handsome man from among them, simply because he looked a bit like Lu Mingzheng.
The young man who was chosen was flattered and stiffened as he carried Jiang Ruzhen's hand toward the dance floor. When his large hand touched Jiang Ruzhen's slender waist, he couldn't help but shudder.
The girl in front of him seemed different from the girlfriends he had dated before.
She may seem young, but her eyes are full of stories.
Despite her age, her skin is firm, fair, and beautiful, making her look like she's only in her early twenties.
This woman possesses a perfect blend of girlish and mature charm; she doesn't need to seduce anyone, her every move exudes captivating allure.
Is this the unique charm of Eastern beauties?
This fascinated the young man who had lived abroad for many years. He led Jiang Ruzhen around and around, and his excellent dancing skills made Jiang Ruzhen dance with great enjoyment.
When Jiang Zhengyu saw his younger sister being danced in the arms of a strange man, he immediately wanted to step forward and stop her.
Tang Mi grabbed him, "What are you doing?"
“That man took advantage of my little sister.” Jiang Zhengyu pointed at Jiang Ruzhen.
"Your younger sister is an independent adult; she has the right to pursue happiness and freedom. Besides, didn't you realize that your younger sister was just venting her emotions?"
She must have argued with Lu Mingzheng to be so upset. As long as there's no danger, let her go have fun. We'll be here watching over her; we won't let her get hurt.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhengyu stopped and turned to dance with Tang Mi again.
"How did you meet Lu Mingzheng? Did my younger sister tell you?"
“We used to hang out together in this dance hall. Back then, your little sister and Lu Mingzheng weren’t dating yet.”
"Huh? You've known each other for that long?"
"It's been a long time, almost two years."
The two engaged in a question-and-answer session revolving around Jiang Ruzhen's topic, tentatively delving into each other's past and learning more about one another.
Jiang Ruzhen is having a blast today; this young man in front of her is such a good dancer.
Moreover, perhaps because she was a little drunk, she could always find a resemblance to Lu Mingzheng in the other person's face.
This gave her a temporary sense of emotional support, and she danced with the young man twice in a row.
The men around her who wanted to invite Jiang Ruzhen were green with envy.
Just as Jiang Ruzhen was dancing happily, the music suddenly stopped with a snap.
"Huh? What's going on?"
After a brief commotion in the dance hall, the owner quickly came out to explain.
"I'm sorry, everyone. Our tape recorder is malfunctioning and I'm afraid it can't be fixed today. I apologize for spoiling your enjoyment."
The drinks are on me today, please leave in an orderly fashion.
"ah--"
A collective groan escaped the crowd, but despite their reluctance, they orderly carried their belongings and headed out.
After seeing Jiang Ruzhen and the others leave through the door, the boss breathed a sigh of relief and jogged back to his office at the back.
Seeing the imposing man lounging in his exclusive executive chair, he bowed and scraped in response.
"Boss, the task you assigned has been completed, and the person has left. Do you have any further instructions?"
