I'm in love

Fan Shengmei got off the subway with red eyes and a tired look. She took a deep breath and tried to calm her complicated mood. At this moment, her cell phone rang suddenly, and the screen showed that "Qu Lianjie" was calling.

After hesitating for a moment, Fan Shengmei finally picked up the phone: "Hello..."

Qu Lianjie's slightly teasing voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello! Miss Fan, it's me~"

Fan Shengmei tried her best to keep her voice calm: "Oh, it's Mr. Qu, what can I do for you?"

Qu Lianjie smiled and said, "What's the matter? Can't I just chat with you when I have nothing to do~"

Fan Shengmei smiled bitterly, "How could that be? I just think that it's the end of the year now. As the president of Qu, you must be very busy. Shouldn't you be busy with all kinds of social events? How can you have time to care about a small character like me?"

Qu Lianjie quickly responded, "Haha, beautiful lady, please don't say that. I feel embarrassed when you say that. Actually, it's like this. Tonight, I have arranged a gathering with a few friends. I thought if you are free, you can come and join us so that we can have fun together. How about it, give me some face?"

Qu Lianjie: "Where are you now? Do you need me to pick you up?"

Fan Shengmei: "At this moment..." She hesitated for a moment.

Qu Lianjie said quickly, "I'm so sorry, Miss Fan. I had an appointment to meet someone, but that person stood me up because of something. Could you please come and help me deal with the situation with me?"

Fan Shengmei was a little hesitant when she heard him say that. But then she thought that this might be an opportunity to make some connections, so she agreed, "Okay, I'll wait for you at Helen Road."

Qu Lianjie said apologetically, "I'm so sorry! I asked you out in such a hurry and asked you to accompany me to a social event."

Fan Shengmei smiled slightly and responded gently: "Oh, you are so polite! It is my honor to be remembered and invited by you." Her voice was as sweet and melodious as a nightingale.

After hearing this, Qu Lianjie's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "She is indeed a beauty. Even her words are so charming and beautiful." As he spoke, he took out an exquisite shopping VIP card from his pocket and handed it to Fan Shengmei, "This is a gift from someone else. I don't know the exact amount in it. Just treat it as a small gift for you."

Fan Shengmei was a little hesitant and wanted to refuse, but Qu Lianjie quickly stuffed the card into her hand, leaving her no chance to refuse. Fan Shengmei had no choice but to smile, thank him and accept it.

At the same time, Wei Wei found Andy and told her that he had investigated the background information of the man that Fan Shengmei met at the party. It turned out that the man was named Qu Lianjie, who worked in the financial industry, was divorced, and currently lived alone, with his child being raised by his ex-wife.

Andy: "I see. I'll tell Xiaofan now."

Wei Wei: "Wait a minute, let me ask you, didn't Qu Xiaoxiao say anything to you?"

Andy: "Xiao Qu? What did she say?"

Wei Wei: "If that person is not mistaken, this Qu Lianjie is Qu Xiaoxiao's half brother."

After hearing this, Andy's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief. She never thought that Qu Xiaoxiao actually had a brother. She quickly hung up Wei Wei's phone call and dialed Qu Xiaoxiao's number.

At this time, Qu Xiaoxiao had just got off the plane and was dragging her suitcase towards the exit. Suddenly, she heard her cell phone ring. Seeing that it was Andy calling, she picked up the phone with a smile and said, "Andy, did you know I came back early?"

Andy: "I just want to ask you, you knew that the person dating Fan Shengmei was your brother, why didn't you tell her?"

Qu Xiaoxiao: "You know? I've already told you! If you jump in without knowing the situation clearly, be careful not to end up being someone's mistress."

Andy: "You knew your brother wasn't real, why didn't you remind her? We are all friends, why force her?"

Qu Xiaoxiao: "I forced her? If she wasn't vain and didn't want to gain benefits, who could force her? I've said long ago that my brother and I are not siblings, but rivals."

Qu Xiaoxiao: "Sister Fan hooked up with my brother right after she broke up with Wang Baichuan. These two people, one is after money and the other is lustful, they are a perfect match."

Andy: "Don't say that. Xiao Fan is not as bad as you say. Yes, she is vain, but vanity is not a big fault. Why do you have to target her like this?"

Qu Xiaoxiao: "I'm targeting her? Please, I asked her right away if she wanted to know who this guy is. I don't want to touch him around and find out he's a mistress and then he won't admit it! Besides, Fan Shengmei is so obsessed with face. Do you think she'll be grateful to me if I tell her that the guy she hooked up with is my brother? She'll just get angry and blame me for ruining her good thing."

Qu Xiaoxiao: "I'm too lazy to remind these two people, I just watch the show"

Qu Xiaoxiao: "Besides, I'm not the only one who knows about this. I can guarantee that Yanyan knows it faster than I do. But didn't Yanyan tell me?"

Andy: "Yanyan also knows? Why don't you tell Xiaofan?"

Qu Lianjie led Fan Shengmei into the wine party filled with bright lights, wine and smoke. Fan Shengmei was wearing a sexy and charming evening dress, exuding charming charm.

However, just as Fan Shengmei was chatting and laughing with everyone, a man named Mr. Liu took the opportunity to drink and secretly put his hand on her shoulder and kept asking her to drink. Fan Shengmei immediately realized something was wrong and quickly dodged. But Mr. Liu did not give up and shamelessly asked Fan Shengmei to drink a cup of wine together.

Fan Shengmei looked at Qu Lianjie beside her in panic, hoping that he could come out to help her out. But Qu Lianjie turned a blind eye and said nothing, as if he had not noticed this at all.

Faced with such a dilemma, Fan Shengmei decided to go all out. She wanted to get drunk at this drinking party, so she filled her glass without hesitation and drank it all. Then, she picked up the bottle and filled both Mr. Liu and herself with wine, then stared at Mr. Liu firmly, motioning him to toast.

Seeing Fan Shengmei's fierce momentum, the others at the scene couldn't help but look at her sideways, and no one dared to persuade her or force her to drink. The people on the side applauded and praised Fan Shengmei's courage.

At this moment, Qu Lianjie's eyes were suddenly attracted - he saw Fan Shengmei talking to the client with ease, which made the other party nod frequently. Every word she said was just right, neither losing the sense of proportion nor losing the charm, which made people want to continue listening. Qu Lianjie was secretly happy: This woman is really not simple!

Fan Shengmei skillfully guided the topic and made Mr. Liu drink the full glass of wine without him noticing. Although Mr. Liu looked reluctant, he drank it all under Fan Shengmei's enthusiastic persuasion. Seeing this, Qu Lianjie immediately showed a proud smile on his face. He knew that this cooperation was already half successful.

The crowd around started to stir, applauding and cheering for Fan Shengmei's outstanding performance. The applause was deafening and continued. Qu Lianjie looked around with satisfaction, enjoying the praise and envy of the crowd. However, his eyes never left Fan Shengmei. He quietly admired her shining in the center of the stage, his heart filled with joy.

Qu Lianjie secretly felt lucky that he had found the right person. Fan Shengmei was not only outstanding in appearance, but also had extraordinary wisdom and ability. She was like a bright star, shining with unique light in this noisy world. But at this moment, Qu Lianjie felt that Fan Shengmei was a joke.
