Song Zhe frowned, his eyes very innocent, "Qingqing, I really didn't expect you to be here..."

Xie Qingqing caught a glimpse of Ji Zihan's inquiring eyes, and suddenly realized that she had spoken the truth in a moment of desperation.

She suddenly changed her tone and said, "Oh no, you are here to see Bai Yuning, right? Oh, I forgot that Bai Yuning was here too, and I almost misunderstood."

Song Zhe was confused, "No, I'm just here to attend the forum."

Xie Qingqing rolled her eyes at him with disdain, "Come on, Song Zhe, it's just your family? There's no way you can get a number."

"What's wrong with my family? Why are you here too?" Song Zhe glanced at Ji Zihan in confusion.

"You're not here to look for... um..."

Seeing that Song Zhe was about to speak out, Xie Qingqing was afraid that he would alert Ji Zihan by directly telling him about his intentions towards Ji Zihan, so she quickly stepped forward and covered his mouth.

She leaned close to Song Zhe's ear and whispered threateningly, "I'm warning you, don't talk nonsense. Otherwise, I will block and delete all your contact information!"

Song Zhe wanted to say something but stopped himself. He could only nod weakly and sat down with his head hung.

Xie Qingqing was very satisfied to see Song Zhe was so obedient.

It’s probably because I’ve done a good job in training him. As long as I say go east, Song Zhe dare not go west.

If Song Zhe's family background was not too ordinary and he was not as calm and handsome as Ji Zihan, apart from these two points, he was actually a pretty good person. However, no matter how well he was trained, it would only benefit future generations.

What a pity...it was given to his future girlfriend for nothing.

Xie Qingqing sighed to herself, shifted her target to Bai Yuning, and prepared to start implementing tonight's plan.

She silently stopped the waiter who was walking between the tables and asked him for a bottle of vodka with a slightly higher proof.

Zhou Yan, who was standing by, folded his arms and watched the interaction between the two. He knew in his heart that this was the ex-girlfriend that Song Zhe was talking about.

However, he was too lazy to even look at Song Zhe's silly look.

He really couldn't understand how the once-powerful Mr. Song could have such a stupid grandson who couldn't even handle a woman and was so easily controlled.

I really don’t know when he will grow up, become more down-to-earth and steady, and share some of the worries for the old man.

On the other hand, Bai Yuning looks much more generous and intelligent than Song Zhe.

Moreover, that face was exactly like the eldest lady's. Her words, actions, gestures, and every smile all carried some of the eldest lady's past.

He couldn't wait to hear the news from there and even wanted to go up and ask her directly.

Zhou Yan's excited eyes, which were always fixed on Bai Yuning's face, aroused Ji Zihan's vigilance.

Why does this man keep staring at Bai Yuning?

Ji Zihan's eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and he looked unhappy.

So he put his arms around the back of Bai Yuning's chair without any expression, as if he was implicitly declaring his sovereignty.

But he suddenly realized, no, it wasn't just this man.

Throughout the afternoon, Director Qi would stare at Bai Yuning blankly from time to time. Although he was smiling, there was something in his eyes that he could not understand.

Even now, when he eats, he has to sit next to Bai Yuning, and it seems that he likes Bai Yuning very much.

Ji Zihan couldn't understand why Bai Yuning became so charming.

As he thought about it, he lowered his head slightly and looked at the woman beside him.

It was already night, and the round dome of the banquet hall was lit up with warm light strips, and a flickering candle was lit in the center of the dining table. The surrounding environment suddenly darkened, and the melodious sound of cello rang out, creating a romantic and affectionate atmosphere.

The woman beside me has a straight nose and bright red lips. She is obviously very pretty, but under her thick and curly eyelashes, her pupils are like a clear spring, shimmering and shining.

The flickering candlelight cast thin circles of light on her smooth profile.

She was sitting upright, her thin back forming a well-proportioned curve, her slender hands folded under her small chin, and she was eagerly waiting for the food to be served.

Her gaze followed the waiter back and forth, her eyes blinking like a deer, and her face was lively and lovely.

indeed.

She was truly dazzling today. In the dim banquet hall filled with so many people, she was like the brightest star in the vast sky, brilliant and eye-catching.

Even in his eyes, he could only see her.

Ji Zihan calmly looked away, loosened his tie, and turned his attention to the dining table...

As soon as Zhou Yan sat down, Qi Gengyun felt that this person looked very familiar, but perhaps his memory was too vague and he could not remember who he was.

It was not until she noticed that Zhou Yan was staring at Bai Yuning from time to time, with a probing look that she understood, that she suddenly remembered this person.

"...Xiao Zhou?"

She called out tentatively.

Zhou Yan then noticed the middle-aged woman beside him, "Who are you...?"

He didn't remember knowing such a dignified and elegant middle-aged woman.

"Qi Gengyun." She said slowly.

"...Ms. Qi?" Zhou Yan opened his lips slightly, looking a little surprised.

Qi Gengyun smiled calmly and extended his hand, "Long time no see."

Zhou Yan looked at her carefully under the dim light. After a moment, his expression turned to surprise and he also extended his hand, "Long time no see! I didn't expect such a coincidence... Are you here to attend the forum too?"

"Yes. It's true. It's been a long time since we last met..." Qi Gengyun was quite emotional.

"Ms. Qi, you also discovered..." Zhou Yan's voice suddenly lowered and he glanced towards Bai Yuning.

"Ah."

"Xiao Zhou, can you please talk to me for a moment? I haven't been to the Song family for many years, and I just happen to want to ask you something." Qi Gengyun stood up and said to Zhou Yan.

"Okay." Zhou Yan then stood up and followed Qi Gengyun out.

Bai Yuning looked forward to it to the fullest, but instead of getting any delicious food, she got the strong vodka that Xie Qingqing ordered.

Xie Qingqing, holding the white wine bottle, walked around Ji Zihan and sat directly in Qi Gengyun's seat, looking like she was ready to fight Bai Yuning to the death.

Her aggressive posture frightened Song Zhe, and he followed her footsteps and sat down.

Song Zhe whispered to her, "Qingqing, what are you doing..." while trying to take the bottle of wine from her hand.

Xie Qingqing avoided his hand and took a look. Hey, it’s just right.

She picked up two glass wine glasses and stuffed them into their hands. "Since the three of us are so lucky to meet in Country A, shouldn't we have a drink first?"

Bai Yuning and Song Zhe were both stunned.

"I didn't say I wanted to drink with you." Bai Yuning looked at her unhappily.

Xie Qingqing was not angry, but said slowly: "Oh... I forgot, you have a terrible alcohol tolerance. I remember that at the class party before, you were the first one to vomit after drinking!"

"And I remember one time, you almost vomited..."

Seeing that she was about to reveal her dark history in front of Ji Zihan, Bai Yuning immediately interrupted.

"Who can't drink? You can't even play games! How dare you criticize me!"

"Then just tell me whether you want to drink it or not." Xie Qingqing took the opened bottle of vodka from the waiter and said calmly.

"Drink, why not drink!"

Bai Yuning's competitive spirit was suddenly aroused, and she handed over the wine glass angrily.
