She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

Zhou Hanzhi and Lin Xixi, dressed elegantly and brightly, stood together, looking like a pair of golden boy and jade girl.

I was not surprised at all that Zhou Hanzhi was invited to attend Mrs. Zhang's birthday party.

But Lin Xixi also appeared here and stood side by side with him, which really exceeded my expectations.

Madam Zhang Si is well aware of the grudge between Lin Xixi and me. She herself does not have a good impression of Lin Xixi and would definitely not send an invitation to Lin Xixi, so there is only one possibility: Lin Xixi was brought in by Zhou Hanzhi.

This man really does say one thing and does another. He is a master of lying.

What did he say before? He said he would not marry Lin Xixi. He said he had his reasons. He also wanted me to wait for him...

As a result, he and Lin Xixi were as loving and sweet as ever. He took great care of Lin Xixi and even took her to public occasions.

Yes, I was stupid. I actually believed his lies. Of course he really loved Lin Xixi, otherwise why would he be so attentive? He knew that Mrs. Zhang Si didn't like Lin Xixi, and he knew that I didn't want to see Lin Xixi, but he still brought her here.

At this moment, he was still staring at me with such a burning gaze. He wanted me to see clearly who was the one he truly loved, right?

The hall of the Zhang family's main building was full of guests who came to celebrate. The upper class circle of Beijing and Hong Kong was neither small nor big. At a glance, many of the people around were familiar faces. They were all people I had met at the Zhou family last time on Shen Hualan's birthday.

Lin Xixi's voice when she called me just now was not small, and her words not only exposed my personal relationship with her, but also my relationship with Lin Youde. This directly attracted the attention of the people around us, and everyone looked over at me.

"Hey, isn't this Miss Meng, the recent celebrity? She has also been invited to attend Old Madam Zhang's birthday party."

"She is not only a recent celebrity, but also Mr. Zhou's ex-girlfriend. I don't know why Ms. Lin calls her sister. Is it because she is Mr. Zhou's ex-girlfriend? Is she called sister according to seniority?"

"No way? Miss Lin also mentioned her father. From what she said, it seems that Miss Meng and Miss Lin have some other relationship."

There were many gossipers among these acquaintances. They all started to whisper and surrounded us to watch the fun.

"Manager Lin, please respect yourself. I am not your sister and I don't know your father. Please don't make random comments about our relationship." I immediately frowned and stopped Lin Xixi from speaking in a deep voice.

Zhang Tingyuan also spoke up immediately: "Miss Lin is younger than Sister Meng? I think Miss Lin is much older than Sister Meng. Why are you calling her sister like me?"

I am not younger than Lin Xixi looks. Zhang Tingyuan was deliberately changing the subject.

Wu Ling also snorted: "Maybe, some people just have that addiction. Even though they are not young anymore, they just like to call others brother and sister. They think that this makes them look innocent and cute, and it is easier to get close to others."

She deliberately emphasized the words "innocent and cute", making them sound a bit yin and yang.

These words were all directed at Lin Xixi.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lin Xixi couldn't hold her face anymore. She frowned, and her big round almond-shaped eyes were covered with a layer of mist. Her eye circles turned red, and she looked innocent and pitiful.

But this time, she didn't ask Zhou Hanzhi for help. Instead, she bit her lip and continued to stare at me: "Sister, I know you blame me in your heart. After all, I am with Hanzhi now. I also know that you dislike me and dislike that I am stupid and always make you unhappy. That's why you don't want to recognize me as your sister. I can understand this, but sister, you can't deny it..."

When I heard this, my heart was in a knot and a surge of anger rushed to my head. Lin Xixi was really endless. She wanted to make my life story public and accuse me of being an unfilial person for not recognizing my biological father.

I don't actually mind being talked about, but I don't want to cause trouble here at this moment.

This is the Zhang family. Today is Old Lady Zhang’s birthday. Madam Zhang Si invited us here as a guest. This birthday party was also organized by Madam Zhang Si.

I don't want to cause any trouble for Madam Zhang Si, and I don't want any unnecessary incidents to occur at the banquet that she has worked so hard to organize.

If Lin Xixi continues to cause trouble, I don't mind using some force.

I clenched my fingers.

"Okay, stop talking." Zhou Hanzhi suddenly spoke at this time, interrupting Lin Xixi's unfinished words.

He frowned and said in a somewhat unhappy tone: "This is the Zhang family. Today is Old Lady Zhang's birthday. Don't talk about these insignificant things in other people's homes."

Lin Xixi felt even more aggrieved, her almond-shaped eyes turned redder, tears welled up in her eyes and seemed about to fall: "Han Zhi..."

"What? You feel uncomfortable staying here? Well, then you can leave first." Zhou Hanzhi's face was very calm, and his tone was calm and natural, "I'll let Zeng Zhi take you away first."

Lin Xixi was visibly anxious, her eyes were even redder, and the tears that were about to fall in her eyes magically disappeared. She immediately grabbed his wrist and said anxiously: "No, Hanzhi, I'm not feeling unwell, I want to stay here with you."

Her posture and tone were humble and compromising.

From that moment on, Lin Xixi never bothered me again. Although there was deep resentment and unwillingness in her eyes when she looked at me, the topic she had just brought up was stopped.

The guests who were originally attracted to listen to the gossip also withdrew their expectant or gossiping gazes, and only a few gossipers were still whispering.

"It sounds like she's just jealous of Zhou Hanzhi, there's nothing else to it."

"After all, they both graduated from Nanjing University, and they are senior and junior students in the same department. It is normal to call each other sister."

"It's normal for seniors and juniors to be jealous of each other for the same man, but Miss Lin just mentioned her father. Is it true that her father has nothing to do with Miss Meng?"

They just discussed it for a while, and because Lin Xixi kept her mouth shut, they couldn't come to any conclusion, so the matter was downplayed.

I was the only one still standing there, feeling surprised and confused, watching Zhou Hanzhi turn around and leave in silence. Lin Xixi followed closely behind him, as if she was afraid that he would leave her behind.

"It's okay, Sister Meng. Young Master Zhou has already shut up Lin Xixi. She doesn't dare to provoke you anymore." Zhang Tingyuan beside me breathed a sigh of relief and spoke with a smile.

Yes, Zhou Hanzhi spoke in time and blocked Lin Xixi's mouth.

Wu Ling also nudged my shoulder at this time: "Zhou Hanzhi did a great job today. He helped you shut up Lin Xixi."

I was stunned when I heard this: Is Zhou Hanzhi helping me?
