Sitting in the car, ye Zhen felt a little uncomfortable. “Actually, you don’t have to pick me up. You can tell me where to meet you. I can come by myself.”

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 Junsheng’s 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 wouldn’t be recognized.

Li Junsheng squeezed her palm and held it in his. “It’s okay. I like to pick you up. This way, we can spend more time together.”

Ye Zhen’s 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 Junsheng’s eyes, she could clearly feel that her heart was beating faster than usual.

“What do you want to Eat Tonight?”

“Whatever –“ye Zhen originally wanted to say whatever, but she changed the topic. “What time does the performance start?”

“It starts at eight.”

Ye Zhen looked around and gave an address. “Go to the immortal source residence.”

“Immortal source residence?”Li Junsheng had been in Qingcheng for some time, but there were some places he hadn’t been to.

“Yes. Immortal’s origin residence.”Ye Zhen nodded, because Li Junsheng didn’t know.., therefore, he introduced with interest, “It’s the Immortal’s origin that ‘Spring is full of peach blossoms, and you can’t tell where the Immortal’s origin is found’.”. 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.”

Li Junsheng answered as if he knew what he was going to say next, “Does the owner have the final say on what dishes are served on each table?”

“Yes.”Ye 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. “That 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.”

“En, the management strategy is good.”

Li Junsheng complimented, and ye Zhen smiled. “But his cooking is really good. Whether it’s Australian lobster, Japanese caviar, or ordinary home-cooked dishes, you can try it.”

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 Junsheng’s grip tightened. “I called you today. You seem very happy. What’s the matter? Is there anything good?”

“Yes.”Ye Zhen nodded. Although Li Junsheng didn’t 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 Junsheng’s eyes. “Not bad, Zhen Zhen is amazing.”

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 Nanshan’s criticism of her earlier. It was comparable to Li Junsheng’s. 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.

“Yo, good sister, why are you drinking alone here? If you want to drink, call me brother. I’ll drink with you.”

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.

“Don’t bother me. Go away.”

“Yo yo yo. Good sister, what kind of trouble have you encountered? Tell me. Your Brother doesn’t have great abilities, but he can help you give advice.”

“Can you –“what 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 Ninghan’s eyes instantly turned from anger and hatred to grievance. Pitiful.

“Brother Ah Liang, you’re really the best person in this world to me.”

“Of course, you’re my adopted sister. If I’m not nice to you, who Am I nice to?”

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.

“Brother Ah Liang, you’re just my adopted brother and you’re already so nice to me. But some people, my biological sister, can’t tolerate me at all.”

“Biological sister? Isn’t your mother –”

“My mother only gave birth to me and my younger brother, but my father has an older sister.”

Ye Ninghan saw the curiosity in Ah Liang’s eyes, as if she had finally found a vent.

“Brother Ah Liang, you don’t know why I entered the ye family.”

“Back then, my father and my mother were originally a couple.”. “The most hateful thing was that my father’s ex-wife used her family background to bully others because she took a liking to my father.”. “She insisted on my father marrying her. My father was unwilling, so she used despicable methods to trick my father into being with her.”. “Her family background was good, and her family was powerful.”. “Later on, my father didn’t want her to hurt my mother, so he could only agree to be with her.”

“But I didn’t expect that my father and his ex-wife hadn’t been married for long before my mother got pregnant. In order not to destroy my father’s family, my mother left my father far away with me in her belly.”

“Later, my father’s 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.”

“Just like that, I married my father with my mother.”When Ye Ninghan said this, the tears in her eyes had already fallen.

“In fact, my father and my mother were the true love. However, his ex-wife interfered and forcefully separated my father and mother.”

Ah Liang looked at Ye Ninghan as if he was listening to a story. He didn’t expect that there would be such a process in between. “I was wondering why your mother took you out to live alone and didn’t see your father before.”

“Yeah. 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.”

“Of course,”Ah Liang echoed. “Isn’t this the bitter end?”

Ye Ninghan smiled bitterly. “I thought the same before. But later, I realized that I was too naive.”

“What’s wrong? is your father not good to you?”

Ye Ninghan shook her head, her expression bitter. “No, it’s 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.”

“And then? Her daughter made things difficult for you?”

“Don’t ask, Brother Liang. In any case, it’s my bad luck.”

As Ye Ninghan spoke, she lay on Ah Liang’s 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. “Good sister, if there’s anything, just say it. If someone really bullies you, I’ll definitely stand up for you.”

“Brother Ah Liang, you are so kind.”

“Of course. Now tell me, is it your father and his ex-wife’s daughter who bullies you?”

Ye Ninghan looked at him, wanting to say something but stopping. Under Chen Liang’s repeated questioning, she stammered out the truth.

“She didn’t 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.”

“Usually in the company, she often threw things that she didn’t want to do to me. She always bossed me around.”

Ye Ninghan’s eyes were red. Looking at Chen Liang, her heart ached. Without waiting for him to comfort her, she shook her head “Resolutely.”.

“Actually, I can tolerate all of these. After all, I’ve been scolded like this since I was young. What kind of ugly words have I not heard?”

“But recently, she’s been getting more and more outrageous. She actually said that she wants to drive me and my mother out of the Ye family –”

She grabbed Chen Liang’s arm and looked at him with a pained expression. “Brother Ah Liang, I actually don’t care. Really. Whether I can stay in the Ye family or not, whether I can be the eldest daughter of the Ye family, I don’t care at all.”

“Really, no matter how hard the days are, I can endure it.”. “But my mother, my mother waited for so long before she finally reunited with my father and got together with him.”. “If my mother is really kicked out…”. “I’m afraid that she will be heartbroken.”

“This is outrageous.”Chen Liang was so angry that he slammed the table hard. “This is going too far.”

He held ye Ninghan’s shoulders with both hands and looked indignant. “What right does she have to kick you out? Putting aside the fact that you are your father’s daughter, just because your mother and your father are already married, she doesn’t have the right.”

“Yeah. I think so too.”Ye Ninghan looked helpless. “But he’s too powerful. I Can’t beat him.”

“Is there a need to fight? It’s just a fact.”Chen Liang suddenly looked at her. “What about your father? Doesn’t your father care about you two?”

“He used to care, but recently, he can’t.”Ye Ninghan smiled bitterly and shook her head. “You don’t know how powerful my sister is.”

“She hooked up with a big shot. Even my father doesn’t 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.”

“What big shot? My Brother isn’t someone who hasn’t seen the world. Tell me.”

“That’s right, it’s the new mayor of Qingcheng, Li Junsheng.”Ye Ninghan even shrank her body when she said this, as if she was really afraid.

“What?”

This time, it was Chen Liang’s 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 Liang’s changed expression. She cursed Chen Liang in her heart as trash, but the expression on her face was more and more painful and conflicted.

“Ever since she hooked up with mayor Li, I have no status in the family. I admit defeat. I admit that I can’t compare to her methods.”

“You –“seeing her like this, Chen Liang’s heart ached.

“Forget it, brother Ah Liang. These are actually my matters. It’s my own family matters. How can I have the face to trouble you? Just pretend that nothing happened today and listen to my complaints.”

“Since I already know, how can I pretend that I don’t Know? Don’t worry. I will definitely avenge you.”

“Brother Liang, don’t. Mayor Li is really not you, nor is he someone we can afford to offend.”

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.

“Actually, my sister’s backer is none other than mayor Li. “Unfortunately, I don’t have the ability. If I can make mayor Li abandon my sister and let him see my sister’s true colors, he won’t be fooled by my sister anymore. “In that case, mayor Li probably won’t help her anymore.”

She smiled bitterly and shook her head. “This is really a fantasy. I’m really drunk. I can’t even come into contact with a person like mayor Li, so how can I let him have the chance to see my sister’s true colors?”

Chen Liang originally had no clue. But after ye Ninghan said that, an idea suddenly came to his mind.

“Let mayor Li see your sister’s true colors? Not Be Fooled by her?”

Chen Liang seemed to have thought of something and slapped his thigh hard. “Why didn’t I think of that?”

He looked at the pain on Ye Ninghan’s face and said with a sense of loyalty, “Good sister, don’t worry. Your matters are my matters. Since your slut sister dares to treat you like this, then don’t blame me for not being polite.”

“Brother Ah Liang.”Ye Ninghan looked at him, the pain on her face turned into worry. “I don’t need you to do anything for me. Listen to me, I really can do anything. Anyway, I’m already used to it. But I don’t want anything to happen to you.”

“Don’t worry. Who is brother Ah Liang? I’ll be fine.”

Chen Liang stood up as he spoke. “Alright, don’t meddle in this matter. Leave it to me. I have a way.”

“Brother Ah Liang, there’s really no need –”

Ye Ninghan was still trying her best to convince Chen Liang. She had a thoughtful expression on her face as if she didn’t 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.

“I’m leaving.”

Chen Liang wanted to go investigate properly and make some arrangements. “Don’t worry, wait for My Good News.”

“Brother Ah Liang.”No matter how ye Ninghan called him, Chen Liang left just like that. After she opened and closed the private room’s 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 Liang’s methods, she was really looking forward to it. Chen Liang, Oh Chen Liang, don’t 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.

“What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”

Ye Zhen shook her head. “It’s nothing. Maybe the air conditioner’s temperature is a little low.”

Li Junsheng took off his suit jacket and put it on ye Zhen. “Wear my clothes.”

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 Junsheng’s 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 couldn’t refuse his kind offer. She could only look at him gratefully and then continue to look at the stage seriously.

Li Junsheng’s hand held her hand at the right time. She tried to pull her hand back, but she couldn’t 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 couldn’t ignore the clothes covering her body.

It was full of Li Junsheng’s aura. She tried hard to control it, even making her breathing very light. But the other party’s aura was too strong, and she couldn’t 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 Zhen’s gaze on him. He smiled and held her hand a little harder.

This time, ye Zhen did not try to pull her hand back.
