Sitting in the car, ye Zhen felt a little uncomfortable. âActually, you donât have to pick me up. You can tell me where to meet you. I can come by myself.â
Li Junsheng had a habit of not driving a car after work. Therefore, the car that Li Junsheng drove to pick her up was a very low-key Audi. It looked fine.
However, there was something very wrong with Li Junshengâs face. This morning, Xiao Xu said that he looked familiar. If he came to pick her up a few more times, it was hard to guarantee that he wouldnât be recognized.
Li Junsheng squeezed her palm and held it in his. âItâs okay. I like to pick you up. This way, we can spend more time together.â
Ye Zhenâs face suddenly turned red because of his words. She looked at his gentle eyes and kept denying in her heart.
Li Junsheng definitely did not mean what she thought he meant. He said that even if it was a fake girlfriend, they had to get to know each other, so he must only mean that.
Yes, that was it.
Ye Zhen convinced herself in her heart. When she met Li Junshengâs eyes, she could clearly feel that her heart was beating faster than usual.
âWhat do you want to Eat Tonight?â
âWhatever ââye Zhen originally wanted to say whatever, but she changed the topic. âWhat time does the performance start?â
âIt starts at eight.â
Ye Zhen looked around and gave an address. âGo to the immortal source residence.â
âImmortal source residence?âLi Junsheng had been in Qingcheng for some time, but there were some places he hadnât been to.
âYes. Immortalâs origin residence.âYe Zhen nodded, because Li Junsheng didnât know.., therefore, he introduced with interest, âItâs the Immortalâs origin that âSpring is full of peach blossoms, and you canât tell where the Immortalâs origin is foundâ.â. The owner was a wonderful person. He circled a small courtyard, and there were only four private rooms inside. He only served four tables a day.â
Li Junsheng answered as if he knew what he was going to say next, âDoes the owner have the final say on what dishes are served on each table?â
âYes.âYe Zhen smiled. It was not difficult to guess this kind of thing, but Li Junsheng was so smart, it still made her feel a hint of admiration. âThat boss will pick the freshest ingredients every day, regardless of what it is. It depends on the mood. He will make whatever ingredients are available, and whatever he makes, the customers can only eat.â
âEn, the management strategy is good.â
Li Junsheng complimented, and ye Zhen smiled. âBut his cooking is really good. Whether itâs Australian lobster, Japanese caviar, or ordinary home-cooked dishes, you can try it.â
Li Junsheng looked at her as she introduced the restaurant, and squeezed her hand again.
Ye Zhen suddenly stopped talking. She had long noticed that Li Junsheng especially liked to squeeze her hand.
Subconsciously, she wanted to pull her hand back, but Li Junshengâs grip tightened. âI called you today. You seem very happy. Whatâs the matter? Is there anything good?â
âYes.âYe Zhen nodded. Although Li Junsheng didnât quite understand what was going on in their company, he was able to give a general overview.
Ye Zhen briefly recounted what had happened before. The expression in her eyes now was completely different from when she was confused by his kiss.
There was a faint smile in Li Junshengâs eyes. âNot bad, Zhen Zhen is amazing.â
This sudden compliment made ye Zhen Blush. His eyes were very sincere. He really thought that she was amazing and was complimenting her.
She thought of ye Nanshanâs criticism of her earlier. It was comparable to Li Junshengâs. Ye Nanshan was clearly her family, but he would only criticize her.
Li Junsheng, on the other hand, had only interacted with her a few times, yet he trusted her unconditionally and stood on her side.
Ye Zhen could not tell what she felt in her heart, but she felt a kind of touching emotion surging in her chest that could not be washed away.
..
Ye Ninghan gulped down glass after glass of wine. Her eyes were almost red, and her gloomy eyes looked coldly at the blood-red wine in front of her. She only felt the strong wine enter her throat, and the hatred in her heart was boiling.
Ye Zhen, Ye Zhen, Ye Zhen. These two words were like a thorn in her heart, stabbing her to the point of discomfort.
A hand suddenly appeared on her shoulder. Chen Liang had come out of nowhere and sat down beside her.
âYo, good sister, why are you drinking alone here? If you want to drink, call me brother. Iâll drink with you.â
Chen Liang was actually not bad-looking. He was tall, thin, and had a pale face. His facial features could be considered decent. It was just that he had been living in the marketplace for a long time, so he had a bit of an air about him. He did not look very decent, and it made people feel a little uncomfortable to look at him.
At this moment, after being called brother and sister, Ye Ninghan had goosebumps all over her body.
âDonât bother me. Go away.â
âYo yo yo. Good sister, what kind of trouble have you encountered? Tell me. Your Brother doesnât have great abilities, but he can help you give advice.â
âCan you ââwhat good ideas do you have? Ye Ninghan was about to say a few words to him, but when she met his shrewd and fawning face, she suddenly stopped talking.
Putting down the cup in her hand, Ye Ninghanâs eyes instantly turned from anger and hatred to grievance. Pitiful.
âBrother Ah Liang, youâre really the best person in this world to me.â
âOf course, youâre my adopted sister. If Iâm not nice to you, who Am I nice to?â
Ah Liang patted her shoulder, as if he had a deep relationship with Ye Ninghan. Ye Ninghan resisted the urge to throw up and wanted to wave his hand away. She blinked, as if a tear was about to fall from her eyes.
âBrother Ah Liang, youâre just my adopted brother and youâre already so nice to me. But some people, my biological sister, canât tolerate me at all.â
âBiological sister? Isnât your mother ââ
âMy mother only gave birth to me and my younger brother, but my father has an older sister.â
Ye Ninghan saw the curiosity in Ah Liangâs eyes, as if she had finally found a vent.
âBrother Ah Liang, you donât know why I entered the ye family.â
âBack then, my father and my mother were originally a couple.â. âThe most hateful thing was that my fatherâs ex-wife used her family background to bully others because she took a liking to my father.â. âShe insisted on my father marrying her. My father was unwilling, so she used despicable methods to trick my father into being with her.â. âHer family background was good, and her family was powerful.â. âLater on, my father didnât want her to hurt my mother, so he could only agree to be with her.â
âBut I didnât expect that my father and his ex-wife hadnât been married for long before my mother got pregnant. In order not to destroy my fatherâs family, my mother left my father far away with me in her belly.â
âLater, my fatherâs ex-wife died unexpectedly due to illness. God took pity on her. The fate between my mother and my father was not broken, and they met again. Not only did they meet, but they also let my father know that my mother gave birth to me.â
âJust like that, I married my father with my mother.âWhen Ye Ninghan said this, the tears in her eyes had already fallen.
âIn fact, my father and my mother were the true love. However, his ex-wife interfered and forcefully separated my father and mother.â
Ah Liang looked at Ye Ninghan as if he was listening to a story. He didnât expect that there would be such a process in between. âI was wondering why your mother took you out to live alone and didnât see your father before.â
âYeah. So, when I could be with my father again, I felt that the heavens must have seen that I had lived too hard for the past ten years and compensated me.â
âOf course,âAh Liang echoed. âIsnât this the bitter end?â
Ye Ninghan smiled bitterly. âI thought the same before. But later, I realized that I was too naive.â
âWhatâs wrong? is your father not good to you?â
Ye Ninghan shook her head, her expression bitter. âNo, itâs not my father. My father finally acknowledged me after so many years and brought me home. He was very good to me. But, my father and his ex-wife also have a daughter.â
âAnd then? Her daughter made things difficult for you?â
âDonât ask, Brother Liang. In any case, itâs my bad luck.â
As Ye Ninghan spoke, she lay on Ah Liangâs shoulder and whimpered softly.
Chen Liang looked at her weak and delicate appearance and the sense of justice in his heart rose to the extreme. âGood sister, if thereâs anything, just say it. If someone really bullies you, Iâll definitely stand up for you.â
âBrother Ah Liang, you are so kind.â
âOf course. Now tell me, is it your father and his ex-wifeâs daughter who bullies you?â
Ye Ninghan looked at him, wanting to say something but stopping. Under Chen Liangâs repeated questioning, she stammered out the truth.
âShe didnât bully me, but she kept calling me the daughter of a mistress. She also said that as long as she was at home, I would never be able to become the real eldest daughter of the Ye family.â
âUsually in the company, she often threw things that she didnât want to do to me. She always bossed me around.â
Ye Ninghanâs eyes were red. Looking at Chen Liang, her heart ached. Without waiting for him to comfort her, she shook her head âResolutely.â.
âActually, I can tolerate all of these. After all, Iâve been scolded like this since I was young. What kind of ugly words have I not heard?â
âBut recently, sheâs been getting more and more outrageous. She actually said that she wants to drive me and my mother out of the Ye family ââ
She grabbed Chen Liangâs arm and looked at him with a pained expression. âBrother Ah Liang, I actually donât care. Really. Whether I can stay in the Ye family or not, whether I can be the eldest daughter of the Ye family, I donât care at all.â
âReally, no matter how hard the days are, I can endure it.â. âBut my mother, my mother waited for so long before she finally reunited with my father and got together with him.â. âIf my mother is really kicked outâ¦â. âIâm afraid that she will be heartbroken.â
âThis is outrageous.âChen Liang was so angry that he slammed the table hard. âThis is going too far.â
He held ye Ninghanâs shoulders with both hands and looked indignant. âWhat right does she have to kick you out? Putting aside the fact that you are your fatherâs daughter, just because your mother and your father are already married, she doesnât have the right.â
âYeah. I think so too.âYe Ninghan looked helpless. âBut heâs too powerful. I Canât beat him.â
âIs there a need to fight? Itâs just a fact.âChen Liang suddenly looked at her. âWhat about your father? Doesnât your father care about you two?â
âHe used to care, but recently, he canât.âYe Ninghan smiled bitterly and shook her head. âYou donât know how powerful my sister is.â
âShe hooked up with a big shot. Even my father doesnât dare to offend that person. Tell me, if she really gets together with that big shot, then the ye family will really have no place for me and my mother.â
âWhat big shot? My Brother isnât someone who hasnât seen the world. Tell me.â
âThatâs right, itâs the new mayor of Qingcheng, Li Junsheng.âYe Ninghan even shrank her body when she said this, as if she was really afraid.
/ please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.
âWhat?â
This time, it was Chen Liangâs turn to be stunned. People like them would rather offend those hooligans outside or small bosses who had a little money, but they were respectful towards officials.
Ye Ninghan naturally did not miss Chen Liangâs changed expression. She cursed Chen Liang in her heart as trash, but the expression on her face was more and more painful and conflicted.
âEver since she hooked up with mayor Li, I have no status in the family. I admit defeat. I admit that I canât compare to her methods.â
âYou ââseeing her like this, Chen Liangâs heart ached.
âForget it, brother Ah Liang. These are actually my matters. Itâs my own family matters. How can I have the face to trouble you? Just pretend that nothing happened today and listen to my complaints.â
âSince I already know, how can I pretend that I donât Know? Donât worry. I will definitely avenge you.â
âBrother Liang, donât. Mayor Li is really not you, nor is he someone we can afford to offend.â
Chen Liang was silent. What Ye Ninghan said was also the truth. If he really went against those officials, it would not be good for him. However, if he really let it go, then he would be too cowardly. No matter how he thought about it, he could not accept it.
Ye Ninghan retreated from his embrace. The entangled expression on her face became more and more bitter.
In the end, she picked up the wine in front of her and drank it in one gulp. When she put down the cup, she seemed to be talking to Chen Liang, but also seemed to be talking to herself.
âActually, my sisterâs backer is none other than mayor Li. âUnfortunately, I donât have the ability. If I can make mayor Li abandon my sister and let him see my sisterâs true colors, he wonât be fooled by my sister anymore. âIn that case, mayor Li probably wonât help her anymore.â
She smiled bitterly and shook her head. âThis is really a fantasy. Iâm really drunk. I canât even come into contact with a person like mayor Li, so how can I let him have the chance to see my sisterâs true colors?â
Chen Liang originally had no clue. But after ye Ninghan said that, an idea suddenly came to his mind.
âLet mayor Li see your sisterâs true colors? Not Be Fooled by her?â
Chen Liang seemed to have thought of something and slapped his thigh hard. âWhy didnât I think of that?â
He looked at the pain on Ye Ninghanâs face and said with a sense of loyalty, âGood sister, donât worry. Your matters are my matters. Since your slut sister dares to treat you like this, then donât blame me for not being polite.â
âBrother Ah Liang.âYe Ninghan looked at him, the pain on her face turned into worry. âI donât need you to do anything for me. Listen to me, I really can do anything. Anyway, Iâm already used to it. But I donât want anything to happen to you.â
âDonât worry. Who is brother Ah Liang? Iâll be fine.â
Chen Liang stood up as he spoke. âAlright, donât meddle in this matter. Leave it to me. I have a way.â
âBrother Ah Liang, thereâs really no need ââ
Ye Ninghan was still trying her best to convince Chen Liang. She had a thoughtful expression on her face as if she didnât want him to take the risk and make a mistake for her own good.
Chen Liang felt that the girl in front of him was not easy to deal with. No, he had to teach that heiress who only knew how to bully ye Ninghan a lesson.
âIâm leaving.â
Chen Liang wanted to go investigate properly and make some arrangements. âDonât worry, wait for My Good News.â
âBrother Ah Liang.âNo matter how ye Ninghan called him, Chen Liang left just like that. After she opened and closed the private roomâs door, the corner of her mouth revealed a very strange smile.
Idiot. He believed whatever she said. She was really an idiot.
Ye Ninghan seemed to have thought of something and suddenly smiled.
Ye Zhen, Oh Ye Zhen, you must not have thought of this, right? You went to great lengths to bring Chen Liang in front of me to make things difficult for me. But you did not expect that one day, I would use Chen Liang to make things difficult for you, right?
When she thought of Chen Liangâs methods, she was really looking forward to it. Chen Liang, Oh Chen Liang, donât let me down again.
..
Ye Zhen felt a little uncomfortable. She subconsciously reached out to cover the position of her heart.
Li Junsheng could feel her trembling. He turned around to look at her and whispered into her ear.
âWhatâs wrong? Are you not feeling well?â
Ye Zhen shook her head. âItâs nothing. Maybe the air conditionerâs temperature is a little low.â
Li Junsheng took off his suit jacket and put it on ye Zhen. âWear my clothes.â
Ye Zhen and Li Junsheng had come all the way here after their meal at the immortal house. Because she had to work during the day, she was wearing a white shirt and a black A-line dress.
Looking at Li Junshengâs clothes, ye Zhen was about to say that there was no need, but the stage had already started to change the background. The passionate background music made her voice hard to hear.
Ye Zhen couldnât refuse his kind offer. She could only look at him gratefully and then continue to look at the stage seriously.
Li Junshengâs hand held her hand at the right time. She tried to pull her hand back, but she couldnât pull her hand back after a few gentle movements. She gave up.
She focused on the stage and watched the performance seriously.
The opera was well-arranged, and the actors sang beautifully. The stage and the background were exquisite.
She should have appreciated it, but she couldnât ignore the clothes covering her body.
It was full of Li Junshengâs aura. She tried hard to control it, even making her breathing very light. But the other partyâs aura was too strong, and she couldnât throw the clothes on his face.
Ye Zhen was still enduring, but a hand just happened to grab her hand at this moment. The other party did not use much strength, but she could not break free at all.
It was different from her hand, which would become slightly cold after blowing on the air conditioner. His hand was always warm. It was just like the feeling he gave others.
Ye Zhen could not help but turn her head to look at him. His side profile was handsome. From this angle, his eyes were clear and bright, and his expression was calm.
Most importantly, such a person knew how to respect and take care of women. It was really rare.
Li Junsheng felt ye Zhenâs gaze on him. He smiled and held her hand a little harder.
This time, ye Zhen did not try to pull her hand back.
