Shen Ci listened to these words and let out a gentle laugh.
He said, "I don’t mind telling you, Shareholder Ma is now her man."
Yin Mingzhu was taken aback.
She didn’t believe it.
She said, "Impossible! Mrs. Ma and I have a very good relationship."
Shen Ci sighed lightly, "That’s not what you thought when you were using her."
The hidden agenda was pointed out.
Yin Mingzhu was furious with embarrassment.
Just as she was about to explode, Shen Ci calmed her down.
He took his coat and said to her, "I’ll treat you to French cuisine!"
Yin Mingzhu didn’t want to go, throwing a diva’s tantrum.
Shen Ci pulled her up in good humor, "Consider it an apology from you."
Yin Mingzhu then burst into laughter.
She said, "That’s more like it."
Shen Ci and she had grown up together.
He had liked her for many years, yet it remained unspoken.
She also enjoyed this affection.
At the French restaurant.
Not long after Shen Ci and Yin Mingzhu began their meal, they unexpectedly ran into Su Ruanruan.
Su Ruanruan was with a noblewoman.
Apparently, both were from Jiangcheng.
They spoke in a low voice in the Jiangcheng dialect.
The dialect of Jiangcheng is very soft and tender.
A beautiful woman’s voice is a pleasure to a man’s ears.
Shen Ci held his wine glass, half-listening to their conversation.
Yin Mingzhu was displeased.
She said to Shen Ci, "I hear that lately, Doctor Su has been frequenting the He family."
She tossed her hair with confidence, "She can’t think that just because she performed a surgery, the He family would consider her one of their own, right?"
Yin Mingzhu continued talking to him, "I scored an off-season outfit for this banquet."
Shen Ci complimented her, "It must be beautiful."
She still didn’t take Su Ruanruan seriously.
As they chatted, a tall and slender figure passed by.
With a distinguished face.
Especially captivating was the tear mole under his eye.
Shen Ci couldn’t help but call out, "Mr. He."
This man was He Jitang.
He Jitang was dining with a lady.
The lady was already a familiar face, Miss Yin, the movie queen.
The old flame of Master Zhou.
As Shen Ci greeted him, He Jitang just nodded slightly.
He ignored Yin Mingzhu completely.
His indifference contrasted with Yin Mingzhu’s overwhelming enthusiasm.
She stood up and softly called out, "Brother Jitang."
He Jitang glanced at her.
Without engaging, he walked away.
Yin Mingzhu received a cold shoulder, but she was not discouraged. For more chapters visıt novᴇlfire.net
It seemed that Mrs. He hadn’t informed him of her decision yet; he didn’t know that she would soon become his sister.
He Jitang and the movie queen took their seats.
He Jitang was distant towards his female companion.
Sitting down, he fiddled with an exquisite matchbox in his hand.
The movie queen, usually pampered and valued, was now dutifully cutting steak for He Jitang.
She smiled lightly, "Jitang, this place is quite famous for its French cuisine."
But He Jitang’s gaze was set on a nearby spot.
Su Ruanruan was talking with a noblewoman.
The movie queen softly asked, "Isn’t that Su Ruanruan? Jitang, do you know her?"
He Jitang rarely interacted with her.
He said, "My mother is very fond of her."
He Jitang’s attitudes towards Yin Mingzhu and Su Ruanruan were markedly different.
The movie queen was very observant.
Eager to please, she said, "Recently, there are rumors in B city that auntie intends to take Yin Mingzhu as her daughter, but in my opinion, Miss Su has a face more fated to be with auntie!"
He Jitang let out a slight laugh.
The movie queen thought she had cheered him up.
She boldly took his hand and placed it on her chest.
In a mushy tone, she said, "I have to read a script tonight. It’s about tomb robbing and has a lot of expert knowledge I don’t understand!"
She invited him, "Could you help me look over it?"
A woman inviting a man home was an obvious signal.
She had been baiting him for a while, but he never seemed interested.
The movie queen doubted if he had a physical deficiency.
But this time, He Jitang agreed.
He accompanied the movie queen to her place.
She thought him to be a refined man.
But on the contrary, He Jitang was not a gentle man...
