I slowly opened my eyes, saw Meng Chengyang's soft eyebrows, and sat up in fright, "Why are you here?" ”

"Why aren't you coming home?" He sat on the edge of the bed and leaned over to look at me, as gentle as a newlywed groom after a long absence.

I was stunned, if I hadn't seen his bestial side with my own eyes, I would have fallen into his gentle net.

"I want to stay here for a while?" I wanted to pretend to be deaf and dumb with him, and I was a hypocrisy, but I still couldn't.

"Why?" Meng Chengyang looked at me blankly, looking innocent and ignorant

"My dad has been having leg pain again recently, and I want to spend more time with him here." I made an excuse.

"Oh, that's how it should be." Meng Chengyang looked understanding.

I sneered inwardly. Then he said, "But you have to accompany me to a dinner party tonight." ”

I wanted to refuse, but he would be suspicious if I did too much, so I agreed.

Before leaving, my stepmother asked me to bring Xiaoyue, and I told her when I wanted to come to Meng Chengyang. The stepmother said that when she was old enough to get married, she took her out to get to know more people. I don't know my stepmother.

When I arrived at the banquet, I learned that it was the birthday banquet of the mayor's wife, Xu Mengting. As far as the eye can see, almost all the characters with heads and faces in Rongcheng have come, the men are good-looking, and the women are elegant and dignified.

And at a glance, I saw the tall figure in the crowd, which stood out unusually in the crowd. The events of that morning couldn't help but come back to my mind, making me inexplicably nervous.

"Let's go say hello to the birthday boy first." Meng Chengyang pulled me and Xiaoyue and walked towards the crowd.

"Chengyang is here." Xu Mengting, the mayor's wife, greeted us with a smile.

Xu Mengting's father and Meng Chengyang's grandfather seem to be cousins, I don't know how many generations apart, but they have that bit of kinship, so the Meng family is very dedicated to maintaining this relationship.

"Sister-in-law, this is a little bit of Xiao Zhi's heart, I wish you a better day every year, and you will live more and more young." Meng Chengyang handed over the politeness that had been prepared long ago, and did not forget to say a few nice words.

Xu Mengting took the gift and handed it to the female assistant on the side, and glanced at us with a smile, "Cheng Yang is still so polite," said and took my hand, "Tong Tong, I haven't seen you for a while, how do you have good news?" ”

I smiled a little awkwardly, and then glanced at Meng Chengyang.

"We haven't had enough of it, so there's no hurry." Meng Chengyang said with a smile.

I only now realized that Meng Chengyang was also very tactful.

"But I think your dad can't wait, hehe." Xu Mengting held my hand and quipped.

"Auntie, why are you so happy to talk about?" Zou Zichen suddenly appeared behind Xu Mengting, and put his hand on Xu Mengting's shoulder very casually, but his face was very dark, as if he had not yet come out of the shadow of divorce.

I'm a little surprised, how could Xu Mengting be Zou Zichen's aunt?

When Meng Chengyang saw him, his face was only slightly stunned, and he was very scared, so he changed his smile. "Mr. Zou is also here."

Xu Mengting patted Zou Zichen's hand, turned her face and looked at him with a smile, "How old are you, and you're still so tired." Xu Mengting said this, but the kindness and pleasure in the corners of her eyes came from the heart. Then he asked, "You know each other too?" ”

"Yatai Pharmaceutical is so famous in Rongcheng, how can I not know it, do you say it is Mr. Meng." Zou Zichen said without yin or yang.

"Mr. Zou has won the award, so dare to compare with Hengyuan Group." Meng Chengyang seemed to feel Zou Zichen's mockery, and hurriedly replied modestly.

I really sweat for Meng Chengyang, in my opinion, Zou Zichen will settle accounts with Meng Chengyang sooner or later, no man can bear to be cuckolded, let alone someone like Zou Zichen.

At this moment, my hand was gently tugged.

Xiaoyue whispered in my ear, "Sister, is he Zou Zichen?" As he spoke, his eyes were full of red stars, and he looked at Zou Zichen in a daze.

Belch...... This girl can't be in love with Zou Zichen.

Xiaoyue is my half-sister, five years younger than me.

I turned my head and whispered in her ear, "Well, not someone to mess with, stay away from him." But Xiaoyue didn't seem to hear my words, and she was still staring at Zou Zichen with a nymphomaniac.

At this time, Mayor Chen Yu called Xu Mengting on the other side, as if some big man had come.

"You talk first, I have to greet the guests." As soon as Xu Mengting walked away, the air pressure became very low.

Zou Zichen was very comfortable, his eyes swept over my face, as if he had never known him, and said, "Mr. Meng will not introduce these two ladies." ”

"Oh, this is my wife, and this is my sister-in-law." Meng Chengyang's face was a little unnatural.

"Hello, my name is Lin Xiaoyue." Lin Xiaoyue took the initiative to say hello to Zou Zichen, looking at Zou Zichen's eyes sparkling.

I held my forehead and looked up at the sky.

"Mr. Zou, I'll take my wife to say hello to a few acquaintances first, and I'll come back to you for advice later." Meng Chengyang was obviously very uncomfortable in front of Zou Zichen.

"Please, two of you." Zou Zichen glanced at me meaningfully again.

I panicked inexplicably.

Meng Chengyang led me to another crowd and greeted me one by one. And I played the role of an elegant and considerate wife on the side.

When she looked back at Lin Xiaoyue, she didn't know what Zou Zichen told her, she lowered her head with a smile, looking shy. And Zou Zichen's eyes looked over with a smile, and I hurriedly turned my head.

I tugged at Meng Chengyang's sleeve and whispered in his ear, "I'm going to the bathroom." ”

"Then be careful." Meng Chengyang instructed softly.

I pulled my hand out of the crook of his arm and walked out.

Out of the door, I walked through the corridor into the bathroom, touched up my makeup in front of the mirror, washed my hands again, and looked at myself in the mirror, it was a very beautiful face, with a pair of black and white, clear and translucent eyes, a small nose bridge, like petals pink lips, a sharp chin, and skin like cream.

Although this face is not beautiful, it has its own style.

I raised an eyebrow at myself in the mirror and asked myself, "What are you nervous about?" You haven't done anything unseemly? Why should you be afraid of him? ”

Taking a deep breath, I brushed my hair from my forehead, straightened my dress, picked up my handbag, and walked out.

I had just stepped out of the bathroom, and a person was walking out of the men's bathroom across from me.

My eyes crashed into those dark eyes unsuspectingly, and my heart jumped, and I hurriedly opened my eyes, and my heart beat faster. I suppressed my panic and walked down the hallway.

Zou Zichen's footsteps followed.

"Why are you so afraid of me?" A playful and pleasant voice came from behind.

I couldn't help but take two steps faster, and my heart pounded.

"What happened that night, you don't want to know?" That hateful voice followed me. There was also a ruffian's spoken language, which was similar to the deep judgment in the banquet hall just now.

I still haven't looked back.

Suddenly, a gust of wind swept past me, and a long arm slammed in front of me. The man's breath was clear.

I almost screamed in shock, and my heart went to my throat.

"What the hell do you want to do?" I glared at him, lowered my voice, and gritted my teeth in anger.
