Chapter 137 Bad luck, so you're going to become a socialite?
So, in the time that followed, she tried her best to be a good girlfriend to him, quietly staying by his side, smiling and listening when he was chatting with others, and responding politely when someone greeted her.
She quickly finished a glass of fruit wine and then switched to a different flavor.
Although business cocktail parties were a bit boring for her, the drinks were quite to her liking.
Those dishes look delicious; I'll try to grab a bite when I have a spare moment.
She turned her gaze away from the food counter and, without noticing, caught sight of a familiar figure in the crowd.
Fu Yankai...
She was taken aback. Why was Fu Yankai here too?
Fu Yankai also saw her, and at the same time he saw Yan Zhixu holding her hand, and his gaze darkened slightly.
What's so heavy about it? She's holding her boyfriend's arm; it's perfectly natural. Why is he looking at her like that?
She looked away, tiptoed, and whispered in the man's ear, "I want to go over there and get something to eat."
Yan Zhixu turned his head slightly and nodded, releasing his arm around her waist.
Liang Liangwei then walked towards the food counter.
It must be said that the desserts prepared by the party organizers were truly delicious. Each one was so exquisite that it looked like a painting. If it weren't for the fragrant aroma, she really wouldn't have dared to take a bite.
I picked out a few dishes and put them on a plate. Just as I was about to find a place to sit and eat, I heard footsteps approaching.
"Weiwei."
Liang Liangwei closed her eyes briefly, a hint of impatience flashing across her face, but she quickly concealed it.
When he turned around, he had a smile on his face, and there was no trace of his displeasure just now.
Good evening, Vice President Fu.
Fu Yankai said helplessly, "Do you have to call me that so distantly?"
Liang Liangwei smiled and said, "I've always called you by your full name before, which was quite distant, wasn't it?"
Fu Yankai: "At least we call each other by name, which means we know each other."
"Vice President Fu" is a cold, impersonal title, like addressing a stranger.
Liang Liangwei: "It's all the same to me. President Fu's status is different now than before, so of course I have to choose the more respectful way to address him."
Fu Yankai felt terrible, but there was nothing he could do about it.
"The Lunar New Year is in two months. Will you go back to see Uncle Liang?"
Liang Liangwei fell silent for a moment, her smile fading.
Fu Yankai quickly said, "I know you're still angry with your uncle, but so much time has passed. Even the biggest anger should have faded with time. Besides, who doesn't go home for the New Year to reunite with their family? Your uncle has been very worried about you while you were away."
Liang Liangwei: "This is a matter between my dad and me."
Fu Yankai stared at her intently and said, "But this matter is somewhat related to me, and I can't stand idly by. I... I'm really worried about you and your uncle..."
Liang Liangwei: "Stop making a scene, okay? You're not important enough to affect my relationship with my dad."
Fu Yan choked on his words, feeling a sudden pang of heartache.
"You left home, wasn't it because your uncle made you and me..."
Liang Liangwei interrupted him: "Even if it wasn't you, it would have been someone else. He just thought it was suitable and wanted me to cooperate."
Fu Yankai clenched his fist at his side and said in a hoarse voice, "But... he chose me."
Liang Liangwei looked away: "So I ran away."
She took a step back, frowned, and said, "You'd better stay away from me. My boyfriend is nearby. Don't make me get misunderstood."
She turned to look in Yan Zhixu's direction, but did not see the man. She looked around but still couldn't find him, which surprised her.
Where has he gone?
Fu Yankai: "What are you looking for?"
Liang Liangwei looked away and said, "It's nothing. I'm going to find somewhere to eat. Don't follow me, it's annoying!"
She walked toward the sofa in the corner.
Fu Yankai abruptly stopped in his tracks, watching helplessly as she left.
Liang Liangwei sat down and ate her snacks in a sullen manner, occasionally looking around for the man's figure, but she couldn't find him.
She took out her phone to send him a message asking how he could abandon his girlfriend.
Before I even started typing, I heard approaching footsteps again, this time the loud sound of high heels.
She frowned. Who was bothering her this time?
She looked up and was surprised to see He Yaxiu.
"It's you?"
He Yaxiu was dressed in a designer dress, her hair was styled in an updo, and she looked exceptionally elegant.
He just doesn't look too good.
She sat while He Yaxiu stood, looking down at her as if she were superior: "What is your relationship with President Yan? Why are you by his side?"
Liang Liangwei found it amusing and said, "And you? By what right do you question me? Are you his blind date?"
The painful memories brought up caused He Yaxiu's face to turn pale and then red. She angrily retorted, "And what about you? You're down on your luck, so you have to become a socialite? Seduce men everywhere, have you no shame?"
She didn't dare to speak loudly, and while she had to express her anger in a low voice, she bared her teeth, which made her look somewhat ferocious.
Liang Liangwei's expression also changed: "What are you saying?"
He Yaxiu said resentfully, "Isn't that right? You're clearly Mrs. Yan's son's girlfriend, and now you're so intimate with President Yan. I just saw you talking to Fu Yankai, and then you switch to another man. Tell me, have you no shame?"
Liang Liangwei stared in disbelief, unable to refute him for a moment.
He Yaxiu assumed she had tacitly agreed, and snorted coldly, saying disdainfully, "How dare you be so intimate with Fu Yankai in front of President Yan! I'm ashamed for you!"
Liang Liangwei calmed down and said, "I only said a few words to him, why should you be ashamed for me?"
He Yaxiu: "You only said a few words just now. What about the proposal? How long ago was it?"
Liang Liangwei was taken aback: "What proposal?"
He Yaxiu sneered, "What, you've forgotten so quickly? You can forget someone proposed to you? I really feel sorry for Fu Yan!"
Liang Liangwei stood up: "What nonsense are you spouting!"
He Yaxiu: "The photos of him kneeling down to propose to you were all posted on social media back then. Are you going to deny it? Oh, you were sitting in the car, so your face wasn't showing, but I recognize your car!"
Liang Liangwei was about to say something when she suddenly saw Yan Zhixu's figure appear a few steps behind He Yaxiu, and she was instantly shocked.
The man's expression hardened slightly, his dark eyes fixed on her, one hand in his pocket, the wine glass in his hand slowly lowering.
She felt a pang of panic. Had he heard what He Yaxiu said?
are you angry?
She swallowed hard, her face stiff as she looked back at He Yaxiu, and said, "Don't believe everything you hear, or think that just because it's a picture is true. A photo is a photo, but no one knows the truth better than myself. Or, if you want to know the truth, Fu Yankai is right here, you can go and ask him yourself!"
He Yaxiu frowned: "Why should I ask—"
Before she could finish speaking, Liang Liangwei walked past her and headed to the back.
She turned around, wanting to say something, when she suddenly saw Liang Liangwei walking towards Yan Zhixu.
She was stunned, and for a moment she was filled with fear.
Why did he suddenly come here?
