"Hongmei, are you very tired?" Dong Yuping asked, noticing that Zhang Hongmei wasn't saying anything and assumed she was feeling unwell.
"A little, I don't really like social engagements."
Dong Yuping was Kong Mingde's secretary and had known about Zhang Hongmei for a long time. She also knew that Zhang Hongmei was Gu Chuanming's adopted granddaughter. Of course, she also knew that Zhang Hongmei had a good relationship with Zhang Shouyi, so she had been keeping an eye on her.
I want to befriend her, but we don't go to the same school or live together, so we can only see each other every Saturday. Even so, I still decided to try and win her over.
"Hehe, some people would love to have social engagements, right? It's just that you don't like this kind of thing. Isn't this a great opportunity to fit in?"
“Hehe, how can people be the same?” Miao Xinyue joined their conversation.
Wyatt Roy also attended Zhao Tiancheng's wedding banquet today, and unexpectedly, he met his goddess.
She knew that if she went in so abruptly, the other person might not even know that she was her classmate, so she decided to wait and see.
But this girl is truly beautiful. Although she's wearing no makeup, her pure white dress makes her look elegant and dignified.
She felt unhappy when she saw a boy bring her a coat and she smiled at him with a bright smile. But after feeling unhappy, she started to think about whether she had really fallen for him.
Finally, realizing he was truly in love, he suddenly laughed at himself. He hadn't even said a word to the other person, yet he was already hooked. How pathetic of him!
Sitting on the sofa in the corner, she kept swirling her wine glass in her hand. This oriental beauty must be very well-off, otherwise she wouldn't be able to raise such a beauty.
I need to find a way to get to know him, otherwise this unrequited love will be terrible. People will laugh their heads off if they hear about it. Young Master Roy actually has a crush on him.
The banquet began quickly, with beautiful music accompanying the delicious food and wine. It broadened the horizons of the dozen or so people present.
Zhang Hongmei had no appetite, but she couldn't let everyone eat while she just watched, could she? So she went with them to the food area.
Wyattroy felt his chance had come and joined in.
Zeng Zhongkang had seen Wyatt in the bookstore. Seeing him move this way, he immediately felt that this person had bad intentions, so he also moved closer to Zhang Hongmei.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Hongmei asked Zeng Zhongkang quietly when she saw him coming over.
"No, it's just that someone was spying on you at the bookstore last time, and he's here again this time, and he's moving closer to you."
"Huh?" Zhang Hongmei was taken aback for a moment, then understood what he meant and followed his gaze to Wyattroy.
Wyatt noticed Zhang Hongmei looking at him, smiled at her, and walked a few steps to her side.
Zeng Zhongkang took a step forward and blocked Zhang Hongmei's path.
"Hehe, Zhang Hongmei, we're classmates. My name is Wyattroy."
Zeng Zhongkang said in fluent foreign language, "Sir, Zhang Hongmei is feeling a little unwell right now, I'm really sorry."
"Hehe, let me just tell her directly. We really are classmates. Zhang Hongmei hasn't had the energy to pay attention to these things this first week of school, but I know her, so I came over to say hello so as not to be impolite."
Zhang Hongmei, standing behind Zeng Zhongkang, made no attempt to speak. Her goal was very clear: to study, and she had no intention of making any friends.
So now that Zeng Zhongkang has stepped forward, I should just stay obediently behind him.
"It seems Zhang doesn't want to get to know me. I'm very sorry, then let's meet at school."
Wyattroy didn't say much on this occasion, simply turning and leaving with his glass. But in his heart, his resolve to get to know her only strengthened.
"Do you know Zhang Hongmei?" Zeng Zhongkang turned around and asked.
"I don't know, I have no recollection of it, even if it is a classmate of mine, I wouldn't recognize them."
"Hehe, you really are something. I don't even know how to describe you. We've been in the same classroom for a week, and you don't even recognize her." Wang Minxia happened to be right next to them and witnessed the whole thing.
"I really don't know them. We started school almost two months later than others, and I'm already struggling to catch up. Besides, I really didn't expect to make friends here."
"Hongmei. Has anyone ever told you that you are actually very self-centered?"
"No one has actually said that. Self? I haven't noticed it."
"My description isn't quite accurate either, but you simply don't care about how the people around you see you; you ignore how others perceive you."
"Hehe, I really haven't paid attention to that. Even if I had, I don't think I could change it. That's just who I am. My personality is already formed, and besides, I don't think there's anything wrong with me being like this."
"Hehe, I admire you. In my mind, Zhang Hongmei should be this confident."
Zhang Hongmei thought to herself, "What are you talking about?" But she was also wondering if she really was like that.
Zhang Hongmei left with the food, and Zeng Zhongkang followed behind her, saying, "You don't need to care about what others think. You are you. Besides, you're not a social butterfly, why should you try to please others?"
Zhang Hongmei chuckled. What kind of description is that? But she really did put the matter behind her.
"Given your status, others are always minding your own business, so you don't need to overthink it."
Zhang Hongmei just smiled and didn't say anything.
Just then, Zhao Hao came over and said, "Zhang Hongmei, Aunt Wang wants you to come over. Let's take a picture together."
Zhang Hongmei stood up helplessly. She was just a supporting character, wasn't she? Why did they always have to look for her?
Zeng Zhongkang remained behind her. There were too many people here; he didn't want anything to happen. Now, he wasn't just entrusted by three important figures to take care of her. He was willing to do it for her sake alone.
Wang Xinyi knew Zhang Hongmei quite well, so the four of them just took a group photo and that was it.
"Hongmei, is it alright?"
"No problem, you don't need to worry about me. Today is your big day, don't think too much, just be happy."
Mr. Zhao, I'll head over now. I'm not comfortable with so many people.
"Okay, you can go and rest over there. Or should I find someone to take you home?"
"Hehe, no need to trouble yourself. I'm going to eat over there. You can continue with your work."
They wouldn't eat the food they'd just received. "You wait here, I'll go get you a fresh copy of the same thing," Zeng Zhongkang said, picking up their plates and leaving.
Actually, this kind of caution is quite good. Even if Zeng Zhongkang hadn't said anything, he wouldn't have eaten it again.
"Zhang Hongmei, why is Zeng Zhongkang so good to you?" Jiang Mingyan leaned over and asked with a gossipy look on her face.
"What does this have to do with you?"
Jiang Mingyan's smile froze on her face, looking quite comical. "I was just curious, that's why I asked."
