As the lights came on, the brilliant lights illuminated the entire magnificent and gorgeous banquet hall.

Jiang Mian was wearing an elegant pure black evening gown, the finely textured skirt swaying gently with her steps.

The diamonds on the hem of the skirt are like the brightest stars in the night sky, sparkling delicately under the light.

Jiang Mian gracefully took Yu Zerong's arm and slowly walked into the banquet hall.

They seemed to have their own light, and the moment they appeared, they instantly attracted countless astonished glances.

When Jiang Mian's eyes met the huge group of people in the field, a trace of nervousness quietly crept into his eyes.

Yu Zerong was wearing a well-tailored black suit and his posture was as straight as a pine tree, as if he was a nobleman walking out of a painting.

His handsome face looked even more charming under the light, and his sharp features seemed to have been carefully carved.

He tilted his head slightly, looked at Jiang Mian gently, and soothed her in a low and magnetic voice: "Don't be nervous, Mian Mian, they are all winter melons."

In the banquet hall, melodious music flowed like water, and celebrities from all walks of life gathered together.

They are dressed in gorgeous clothes, colorful like blooming flowers.

The men were dressed in suits and looked elegant; the women were dressed in evening gowns and looked graceful.

They were either talking in low voices or smiling and nodding, chatting and laughing, like a vivid social picture.

Chang Heng stood in the distance, his eyes fixed on the two people who walked in side by side. The goblet in his hand was clenched tightly, and his knuckles turned slightly white.

Meng Junji noticed something was wrong with Chang Heng, turned around and saw his fingertips were turning white, and said softly, "Brother Heng, make a piece of soft and fragrant cake for us."

Zhuang Haiping, with his sharp eyes, noticed the dress on Jiang Mian and said excitedly, "I guess they're getting married soon. That dress, with over a thousand diamonds and worth 196 million, is on his girlfriend."

Meng Junji opened his mouth in surprise. "Huh? 1.96 million? For a dress?"

Zhuang Haiping raised his chin proudly: "Yes! My girlfriend looks so cool in such an expensive dress!"

Curly didn't listen to what they said and just kept eating the fruit.

His cheeks are chubby, like a cute little hamster.

Suining was locked up in school at the beginning of the semester. He was finally released today and was naturally very happy.

He excitedly chatted with his friends: "I got scolded today. People said that those with money are playboys and those without money are spirited young men. I was really upset."

"They modify their motorcycles just like we modify our race cars."

"Who said that?" Zhuang Haiping said mischievously, "Have you met your Chu Yuxuan?"

Curly heard this and laughed while eating his pineapple: "Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha."

Curly laughed so hard his stomach hurt. He bent down slightly, pointed at Zhuang Haiping and said, "Zhuang Haiping, why are you still wearing flip-flops in this weather?"

"Besides, can you speak Mandarin? Is it a big deal if you can speak a few words of Cantonese? I can't even understand what you say."

Zhuang Haiping answered in Cantonese: "It's still warm over there. When I got off the plane today, I didn't know Jiangcheng could be so cold!"

Curly asked curiously, "How do you know Chu Yuxuan?"

Zhuang Haiping raised his eyebrows: "I'm not an old man."

Chang Heng was already in an emo mood, and was annoyed to death by these funny guys.

He frowned and gritted his teeth, saying, "You guys are really noisy."

Zhuang Haiping playfully mimicked: "Yo yo yo, you guys are so noisy!~"

Meng Junji quickly covered Zhuang Haiping's mouth: "Shh, stop fighting."

Yu Zerong took Jiang Mian and went to meet the company's executives and partners in an elegant and calm manner.

Sitting on the sofa nearby was a group of beautifully dressed girls.

Their eyes were attracted by the gorgeous dress on Jiang Mian and they began to discuss it heatedly.

"Whose is this? Why have I never seen it before?" A girl in a pink evening dress frowned slightly, her eyes full of confusion.

"I haven't seen it either." Another girl next to her echoed and shook her head slightly, her long curly hair swaying slightly with the movement.

"What kind of genius can win over the Yu family's most beautiful girl?" A short-haired girl looked curious.

"Ma Runqian, I remember that you and the guy from the Yu family were desk mates in elementary school?" A girl with a high ponytail suddenly turned around and looked at Ma Runqian.

Ma Runqian nodded slightly and responded, "It's a classmate, what's wrong?"

At this moment, the girl in the pink evening gown was blinded by the sight of Jiang Mian's clothes and couldn't help but interrupt, "Is that a new model?"

Ma Runqian raised her chin slightly and said calmly, "It's a custom-made model. I added every diamond myself. Roughly speaking, it costs around 2 million yuan."

"2 million?!" Everyone was surprised when they heard it.

It’s not that they can’t come up with 200 million, but they would never do such a luxurious thing.

Ma Runqian snorted and said, "This is just a drizzle for Yu Zerong..."

"Why can't we get the moon first because we are close to the water?" the girl with high ponytail asked again, with a hint of regret in her tone.

"I need your M? I need it? His eyes are so high up in the sky." Ma Runqian showed a hint of dissatisfaction on her face, "He won't even lend me an eraser."

"He also wants to draw the 38th parallel. If you go beyond it even a little, he will immediately turn his face black." Her voice rose slightly, and the memories of her primary school days flooded into her mind like a tide, full of irritation.

"When the teacher saw his gloomy face, he immediately came to talk to me. What could I do? I was annoyed just by seeing him."

"Last time in PE class, we were all in a group at the same table. He made me keep picking up the balls while playing tennis. Damn it." Ma Runqian's face darkened. "My calves are thick now and it's all his fault."

Ma Runqian had the most prominent family background among them, and the girl with the high ponytail was afraid of angering her, so she didn't dare to say anything.

The more Ma Runqian thought about it, the angrier she became. She walked up to Yu Zerong and stopped him, saying, "Go to the social event by yourself. I'll borrow your girlfriend."

Yu Zerong refused without hesitation: "No."

The Yu Zerong who refused at this moment was the same as the Yu Zerong when he was young. Ma Runqian was so angry that her hair almost stood up.

She said unwillingly: "Her feet are uncomfortable wearing high heels, can't you see?"

Yu Zerong immediately asked Jiang Mian, Jiang Mian shook his head slightly and said softly: "Not bad."

Yu Zerong was keenly aware that: Fortunately, it just means that I feel a little uncomfortable.

He glanced at the young people around him. Apart from the group of men on Chang Heng's side, there were a group of women on Ma Runqian's side.

Love rival or deskmate?

Yu Zerong made a quick decision, and his attitude instantly became gentle and friendly: "Then please help me take care of her."

Ma Runqian raised her chin slightly and said indifferently, "It's my duty. We're classmates." Are you giving in now? It's no use. As soon as you leave, I'll say bad things about you.

Yu Zerong looked at Jiang Mian and said gently, "Then go sit over there for a while. I'll ask them to prepare another pair of comfortable shoes for you."

Jiang Mian nodded slightly and followed Ma Runqian towards the sofa.
