Chapter 14: Poor Judgment on Men
Hearing the sound, Jiang Yuan took two steps away from Liang Zhouheng.
Liang Zhouheng narrowed his eyes at her and smiled, "A little sister, not even a girlfriend."
Seeing his improved mood, others smiled and flattered him, "Mr. Liang is so elegant and handsome, he will definitely win the heart of a beautiful woman soon."
Jiang Yuan panicked and subconsciously looked up at the stairs.
The person on the stairs was also tilting his head back, his gaze falling from above. At a distance of more than two meters, their eyes met.
Yin Dong seemed to have recognized her only at this moment, but there was no ripple in his indifferent eyes. He only stayed there for two seconds before retracting his gaze and turning around to continue walking up the stairs.
Jiang Yuan was a little anxious, but she couldn't explain anything out loud, as that would be tantamount to offending Liang Zhouheng in public.
In a blink of an eye, the person on the stairs disappeared.
Liang Zhouheng joked with the executives for a few more words, then separated from them and led Jiang Yuan into a secluded box on the first floor.
"Why are you so absent-minded?"
Liang Zhouheng sat down and looked at Jiang Yuan's face.
Jiang Yuan took off his hat and mask, smiled faintly and replied, "Nothing."
Liang Zhouheng pressed on: "Is it because of the guy upstairs?"
Jiang Yuan lowered his head and remained silent.
"You haven't given up yet? Tell me, why would such a nice girl fall for him? Logically speaking, you and him haven't had any contact before, right?"
Liang Zhouheng's peach blossom eyes were focused on Jiang Yuan's face, with a look of inquiry and suspicion.
Jiang Yuan slowly raised her head after a long pause, meeting Liang Zhouheng's gaze. She said calmly, "I've never met him before, but his name is well-known in our school. He's the top graduate of Beicheng University. He comes from a prominent family, but he broke away from his parents' shadow and single-handedly founded Dongjin Technology, the most influential company in the field of artificial intelligence in China. In just a few years, he quickly expanded his industry reach and has now grown into a powerful industrial group."
"I majored in finance, which is a bit far from the computer industry, but during my four years in college, I often heard teachers use Dongjin as an example in class. I believe there are few students in school who don't admire him, and I am no exception."
Jiang Yuan paused, her voice unconsciously lowering. "It wasn't until the school anniversary a month ago that I saw his picture on the school website. I don't know how to describe that instantaneous feeling. It was like a bolt of lightning struck my heart."
“I guess that feeling is what love is.”
Jiang Yuan paused, glanced at Liang Zhouheng sheepishly, then lowered her head and continued, "Even though I knew it was impossible, I still couldn't help wanting to get closer to him. Last night, I asked a senior who works in public relations to help me sneak into that private room and meet him, but he mistook me for some shameless woman."
Liang Zhouheng tapped the screen of his phone lightly and asked casually, "Have you dated Yan Yiru before?"
Jiang Yuan clenched her palms and took a deep breath. "I was deceived by him. I was with him for half a year and didn't know he had a fiancée. I completely drew a line between us three months ago."
Liang Zhouheng withdrew his gaze from the lit phone screen and sighed slightly, "You haven't learned a thing or two from your mistakes. You've already fallen once. Although your courage is commendable, your judgment of men is still not good."
Jiang Yuan pondered the meaning of his words, silently picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.
At the same time, in the VIP box on the second floor, four or five people were sitting around a round dining table. Everyone lowered their heads and ate quietly, while new message reminders kept coming from Yin Dong's phone.
He put down his chopsticks and swiped the screen of his mobile phone. In the three-person chat group, there were several voice messages of dozens of seconds long sent by Liang Zhouheng. He tapped the screen lightly and put the phone to his ear.
A familiar female voice whispered in my ears.
