When Li Yining arrived, Fu Meng had not come yet, and only Meng Leqiao was there.

She glanced at "Where's Sister Fu Meng?"

Meng Leqiao: "…there's a traffic jam."

She looked at the bag in Li Yining's hand, her eyes lit up. "A gift for us?"

Li Yining chuckled, put the gift on the table and said, "You ask even though you already know the answer."

Meng Leqiao blinked and said cutely, "Then you have to be hypocritically polite."

Li Yining: "..."

She pushed one of them to Meng Leqiao and said softly, "It's a custom-made piece of jewelry. Take a look and see if you like it."

Meng Leqiao didn't even look at it, and said without hesitation, "Of course I like it."

She looked at Li Yining and said in a very sweet voice, "It's a gift from Teacher Li, so why shouldn't I like it?"

Li Yining gave her a look.

She paused and said in a low voice, "You are so sweet, Teacher Gu must like you very much."

Meng Leqiao "???"

She widened her eyes and looked at Li Yining in surprise.

Li Yining raised his eyebrows and smiled, giving her a wink.

Meng Leqiao's face instantly turned red, and she stammered, "What are you talking about?"

She choked, lowered her head to open the gift, and muttered softly, "What does my sweet talk have to do with Teacher Gu?"

Li Yining just smiled and said nothing.

Meng Leqiao held her breath for a while and glared at her.

Li Yining felt guilty, touched his nose and said, "I'm sorry."

She smiled and said, "I can't mention it, can I?"

Meng Leqiao gouged her eyes out, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "How did you know?"

In fact, she was still struggling with whether or not to tell Li Yining and the others.

How to say it, I don’t know how to say it.

Li Yining laughed, "Actually, I don't know."

She asked curiously, "Are you really together with Teacher Gu?"

Meng Leqiao thought about it and shook her head, "I guess we're not together."

She pursed her lips. "He seems to be chasing me."

But it's just as if.

Meng Leqiao is a very contradictory person. She started out as a web drama actress, and her popularity and fame are not very high.

Even after being in the industry for many years, many people still don't know her and don't even know that such a person exists.

Of course, she wanted to change, but it seemed like there was no way.

She has never had good luck. Apart from one online drama after another, she has basically no other resources.

Sometimes, Meng Leqiao also wants to get a TV series that will be broadcast on satellite TV and have a better script, even if she is not the heroine.

But it didn't.

Some... require some price to be paid.

Although she didn't have any noble morals or anything like that, she was unwilling to pay the price.

She could try hard and try again and again, but Meng Leqiao couldn't accept other shortcuts for the time being.

Later on, she gradually accepted the fact that she could only film web dramas.

Obviously, my acting skills are not bad, but I just don’t have the opportunities.

So she accepted her fate.

She was still very surprised when the production team approached her for the last variety show.

Someone actually wanted me to film a variety show, and the partner is such a reputable one.

Without thinking, Meng Leqiao agreed.

Until now... I have met Gu Yanze.

Li Yining looked at her expression and smiled, "What do you mean by 'seemingly'?"

She would definitely say, "Teacher Gu has always been interested in you, so why do you lack confidence?"

Meng Leqiao said nothing.

Li Yining laughed, patted her shoulder and said, "Actually, when Huo Shen first showed interest in me, I also felt that I was lucky. How could such an excellent man like me? Unless he was blind."

Meng Leqiao choked up and said silently, "There are still fans who say that Teacher Huo is blind."

Li Yining glared at her.

"Shut up."

Meng Le smiled and said, "Why, you are still not allowed to say it?"

Li Yining nodded. "Yes, you are not allowed to tell me."

She said confidently, "What's the use of what others say? No matter how others say that Huo Shen is blind and likes me, he just likes me."

She touched Meng Leqiao's head and comforted her, "So, don't feel inferior."

She whispered, "If Teacher Gu wants to pursue you, then let him pursue you. Let Teacher Gu know that our Teacher Meng is not easy to pursue at all."

Meng Leqiao was speechless.

Fu Meng happened to hear the last sentence, "Who is pursuing Teacher Meng?"

Meng Leqiao glanced at her and took the initiative to say, "Gu Yanze."

"Wow."

Fu Meng was surprised. "That's true. Don't agree to it easily. I tell you, men are all dogs. They will be very nice to you when they are chasing you, but once they get you... I can't say they won't be nice to you, but they will ignore many details."

Li Yining and Meng Leqiao looked at each other and said in unison, "Sister Fu Meng really understands."

Fu Meng "..."

She looked at the two people in front of her and felt that she had fallen into a big trap.

After a moment of silence, Fu Meng snorted, "Of course. There are so many people chasing after me. I still understand this."

Li Yining: "..."

Meng Leqiao "..."

After joking around, the three of them gathered together to chat.

When women get together, most of the time they talk about all kinds of gossip. Li Yining hasn't been filming recently, and her affair with Huo Shen was exposed, so she really missed a lot of news for a while.

She was stunned by the gossip the whole afternoon.

Suddenly, she looked at Fu Meng in surprise, "Are you telling the truth or not?"

"What?"

Fu Meng was stunned for a moment, and asked softly, "Tong Ran's?"

"right."

Fu Meng frowned and thought for a moment, then said softly, "Actually, I'm not sure. I only saw her having dinner with a group of men in the private room that day, but I don't dare to say whether there was anything going on."

She paused. "But her agent is also quite vicious. He arranged a lot of such dining activities for Tong Ran before, and Tong Ran went to them all."

People in the industry know exactly what this activity is for.

Li Yining nodded and looked at Fu Meng, "But without evidence, don't talk nonsense."

Fu Meng smiled and said, "That's because I'm just gossiping with you guys."

Meng Leqiao: "But to be honest, Tong Ran's road ahead is not easy."

Li Yining hadn't paid attention to her for a long time, so he was a little curious when he heard her. "What do you mean?"

Meng Leqiao said, "I heard from friends in the industry that her agent recently brought in a new artist who is more obedient than Tong Ran and agrees to all conditions, so many of her resources have been allocated to another artist."

Hearing this, Li Yining frowned, "Doesn't her agent like her very much?"

“That’s because he likes to make money.”

Fu Meng is very real. "Who would like something that doesn't make money? We are all realistic."

Li Yining was speechless.

She frowned, thinking about the description of Tong Ran in the novel.

She is the kind of person who cannot be tempted by wealth. She is very resilient and never succumbs to any unspoken rules of the entertainment industry. She has always been a hard-working and struggling person.

She has the image of a very tenacious little white flower, and it is precisely because of this that she has so many fans who like her.

When people later talked about her experience, they all felt sorry for her.

Fortunately, in the end, she reached the top.

Thinking about it, Li Yining muttered, "Why do I feel something is wrong?"

Although the Tong Ran she met here was somewhat different from the one in the book, Li Yining had to admit that Tong Ran still had her own abilities.

With a first love face and a good job, it's normal that some people like her.

She and Tong Ran don't get along, but now everything is fine. If she doesn't provoke him like Xi Zitong does, Li Yining won't do anything.

If the other person is good, she won't do anything; if the other person is bad, she won't add insult to injury.

After all, Tong Ran hadn't done anything unforgivable to her while she was here.

It's not that she is soft-hearted, but she just thinks...it's a good deed.

It's not easy for her to come here.

After chatting for a while, Meng Leqiao changed the subject.

"Let's not talk about this."

Her eyes lit up and she said, "Do you want to go to the bar tonight?"

Li Yining: "...Aren't you afraid of being hunted down by Teacher Huo?"

Meng Leqiao: "If you're afraid, you'd better not go."

Li Yining smiled and said, "Wait, let me ask Huo Shen."

She thought for a moment and looked at the two of them. "I have two other friends. If we go, should we invite them too?"

"Sure, it's more lively when there are more people."

The same bar as last time.

Rather than going to an unfamiliar place, it is better to come here.

Li Yining also specifically asked Huo Shen, Huo Shen and Chen Zhou were having a party tonight, and it happened to be here.

So she came.

Zhang Ya and her friends actually knew Meng Leqiao and her friends, but they were not familiar with each other. After saying hello, the five of them entered the bar.

Jian Yuanyuan looked around and looked at Li Yining, "Are you going to look for your husband?"

"I'll go later."

Li Yining said, "There's no rush now. He's discussing things with Chen Zhou and the others."

Fu Menghe looked at the others and said, "Then I'll go there."

"Be careful."

"Know."

The bar has a nice environment with bright lights and people drinking. The music in the bar is also better than other places.

Not too harsh.

Li Yining likes it very much.

But after a while, Zhang Ya and Jian Yuanyuan also ran away, and the two of them blended into the crowd to dance.

As a married man, Li Yining naturally would not go.

She wasn't interested either.

After a while, Meng Leqiao also ran away.

Li Yining looked around and sent a message to Huo Shen.

Li Yining, I'm in the lobby on the first floor. Come and see me when you're done.

Huo Shen lowered his head to glance at the message, and raised the corners of his lips.

Chen Zhou glanced at him and said unhappily, "What are you talking about?"

Huo Shen looked at him indifferently.

Chen Zhou: "...Ning Ning's information?"

"Um."

Chen Zhou stopped talking for a moment.

He was quiet for a moment before asking, "Where did you want to hold your wedding?"

Huo Shen raised his eyelids and looked at him calmly, "Didn't I ask you?"

Chen Zhou: "That's your wife."

Huo Shen smiled helplessly, "...I'm thinking whether it's a castle or an island."

Li Yining likes both.

Huo Shen couldn't make a decision for a moment, so he came to ask Chen Zhou.

Xu Jingzhi took a slow look at the scene and whispered, "The castle."

"Why?"

The two asked in unison.

Xu Jingzhi: "..."

He paused and said softly, "I heard someone say last time that Li Yining seemed to like castles."

It is certain that all women dream of being princesses.

Li Yining has the same feeling.

Although she herself is one of them, she still feels very jealous when she occasionally sees photos of other people getting married.

Huo Shen was about to say that this should be considered as a key point, but Chen Zhou grasped the key point.

He looked at Xu Jingzhi with burning eyes and asked, "Who is this person, you heard from others?"

Xu Jingzhi: "..."

He glanced at Chen Zhou coldly. "Guess."

Chen Zhou: "I'm just guessing."

He snorted, "I'm telling you, Zhang Ya is the sister of many of us, don't mess with us."

Xu Jingzhi said nothing.

Huo Shen added calmly, "If you bully others, my wife will come after me."

After all - there is a word in this world called anger.

If Xu Jingzhi really makes Zhang Ya unhappy and Zhang Ya and his wife complain, the first person Li Yining will blame is Huo Shen.

Who made Xu Jingzhi Huo Shen's brother?

Xu Jingzhi choked.

He frowned and looked at the two people in front of him, his voice was cold, and the eyes behind the glasses were sharp and revealed a certain light.

“I didn’t see it.”

"What?"

Chen Zhou glanced at him.

"How many people's sister is Zhang Ya?"

Chen Zhou: “???”

There seems to be something wrong with these words.

He coughed and said, "It's none of your business. At least we watched him grow up."

Xu Jingzhi pursed his lips and looked at Chen Zhou, "...your sister has quite a lot."

Chen Zhou: "You think I want to? I have so many sisters, and they all ran into other people's arms."

Huo Shen: "..."

Xu Jingzhi: "..."

For a moment, I didn't know whether I should sympathize with Chen Zhou or not.

But it is true.

Chen Zhou has been the leader among the kids since he was a child. In their circle, everyone loves to play with Chen Zhou.

He is not as cunning as Huo Shenleng or Xu Jingzhi, so no one dares to offend him.

He has a nice personality and likes to organize parties.

In short, everyone goes to Chen Zhou when they have problems, and he is happy to help them solve their problems.

So when he said... Zhang Ya and Li Yining were sisters, he was absolutely right.

Of course, in addition to their two sisters, there are many other people that Chen Zhou will also protect.

They all grew up together, and some even went to school together. It makes sense that they wouldn't protect each other in the same circle.

But it's amazing——

Chen Zhou is actually very handsome, but unfortunately, none of these acquaintances choose Chen Zhou when they are looking for a partner.

She would only cry to Chen Zhou when she was bullied by her opponent; otherwise, Chen Zhou was dispensable.

After complaining, Chen Zhou sighed and said, "Let's continue chatting."

Huo Shen paused and took a sip of wine. "When you say that--"

Chen Zhou: "What?"

"I suddenly feel like I have the wrong person to plan my wedding."

Xu Jingzhi glanced at Huo Shen and said slowly, "You finally found it."

Chen Zhou: “???”

How come I found the wrong person?!

Why is he inappropriate?!

Although he has no partner, he has many sisters!
