"Really? You're a true friend?"
Shen Qingxu raised an eyebrow and scrutinized Qi Mingyang from head to toe, concluding that he was just an ordinary mortal.
Does a man like that deserve to be Yan Zhenzhen's first love and white moonlight?
No wonder Yan Zhenzhen wears glasses when she goes out.
Is he your friend?
Qi Mingyang looked pleading, hoping that Yan Zhenzhen would say something on his behalf.
"Zhenzhen, tell President Shen! We're very good friends. I finally managed to get a ticket to today's banquet, it's very important to me. Please don't ruin it for me, okay?"
Yan Zhenzhen shook her head; she no longer wanted to stay at the banquet today.
"I don't know him."
"Shen Qingxu, let's go."
Shen Qingxu embraced Yan Zhenzhen as they left.
Many people came over to chat with Shen Qingxu, and Mr. Chen, the host of today's banquet, rushed over in hopes of reaching a cooperation agreement with Shen Qingxu.
Shen Qingxu said, "My female companion isn't feeling well, so let's discuss the cooperation another day. Mr. Chen, I'll be leaving now."
He placed his hand on Yan Zhenzhen's right shoulder and pulled her into his arms.
Yan Zhenzhen didn't even know how she left the banquet. She only came to her senses after getting into Shen Qingxu's car.
"Was that man your first love?"
Shen Qingxu suddenly leaned down and came closer. Yan Zhenzhen was startled and hurriedly stepped back, but there was nowhere to hide!
Fortunately, Shen Qingxu only helped her fasten her seatbelt and didn't do anything else.
She blushed slightly and nodded; that was indeed her first love.
However, first love can only exist in beautiful memories; it shouldn't be brought up again.
"Your judgment isn't very good." Shen Qingxu shook his head.
"Don't associate with men like that anymore, they're not worth it."
“He wasn’t like this before. He didn’t want to be with me before because he didn’t care about fame, fortune and power. But I didn’t expect that he would care about these things later, while I didn’t.”
Shen Qingxu, his long, slender fingers gripping the steering wheel, frowned slightly and asked with a light laugh, "Yan Zhenzhen, do you still feel guilty? You couldn't offer him any help?"
How can there be such a stupid, love-obsessed woman?
Yan Zhenzhen shook her head. "No, I just feel quite sad. I don't think I did anything wrong. I didn't do anything wrong in the first place!"
Shen Qingxu nodded. "It's getting late. It's so cold today, and you're dressed so lightly. I'll take you home first."
"When you went to pick up Ah Lu today, no one suspected anything, right?"
Yan Zhenzhen felt a little guilty. She hadn't helped her best friend and had come here just to see a first love who wasn't worth it.
"Don't worry, this morning went very smoothly."
Shen Qingxu was unaware that the photo Ding Weiwei had secretly taken had, after several changes of hands, ended up in Lu Jianshen's possession.
However, Lu Jianshen received another piece of news.
At President Chen's banquet today, Shen Qingxu played the hero and saved Yan Zhenzhen. It is said that the two left hand in hand, as if they were a couple!
If Shen Qingxu's girlfriend is really Yan Zhenzhen, then Tang Li would absolutely not interfere in her best friend's marriage. Lu Jianshen was very certain of this.
But what about the child that Tang Li and Shen Qingxu were holding hands with?
"Chen Lei!"
After Chen Lei, the strategist, entered the president's office, he listened to President Lu's questions.
He tentatively replied, "Could that child be Miss Yan's son?"
Lu Jianshen shook his head. "I haven't heard that Yan Zhenzhen has been pregnant for the past two years."
Shen Qingxu is a grown man; it's impossible for a child to suddenly appear out of nowhere. Who is the father of this child?
"Mr. Lu, once you've calmed down, you can ask the young mistress about this."
Instead of making wild guesses, it's better to ask clearly and find out the truth.
Lu Jianshen nodded, hoping that Tang Li would not lie again.
When Tang Li returned at nine o'clock in the evening, the living room was quiet, with only the dim yellow light of the wall lamp on.
Lu Jianshen sat silently on the sofa in the living room, holding a tablet and reading financial news.
The man's expression was off, and Tang Li had a vague sense of unease.
As she changed her shoes, she asked, "What's wrong? Why are you sitting there? Aren't you going to rest so late?"
Lu Jianshen looked up at her and said, "Come here."
Tang Li didn't know what he wanted to do, so she walked over.
Lu Jianshen pushed his phone in front of her, and the phone screen clearly showed the photo that Ding Weiwei had secretly taken during the day.
She and Shen Qingxu walked out of the hospital hand in hand with Alu.
"Do you have anything to explain about this photo?"
Lu Jianshen's dark eyes held an unyielding rage; he was suppressing his emotions to prevent himself from becoming angry.
This also gave Tang Li the opportunity to explain the matter clearly.
Tang Li was momentarily stunned. Her long-hidden secret had suddenly been brought to the forefront. Her legs went weak and cold sweat broke out on her back. She didn't know how to explain it.
After a few seconds of brainstorming, she came to her senses. The most important thing now was to protect A-Lu's identity.
"I know what you're wondering, but... it's a secret."
As Tang Li spoke, she admired her own quick thinking; thankfully, she had adapted to the situation.
There was no other way but to continue pushing the blame onto her best friend, Zhenzhen.
"This child is... Zhenzhen's son, my godson. Zhenzhen's family doesn't know she had a child; it's a secret!"
