Gold Medal Sweetheart

As expected, the effect of ventilation is to make people think clearly. She smiled slightly, cheered herself up, pushed the door open and walked in. She was completely unaware of the two gazes from behind her, which were piercing her with hatred like sharp weapons from a corner of the back row.

Back at our seats, the charity auction was officially over and the staff were arranging the dinner to follow.

The dishes came up one after another, all of them were delicious. Jin Taize picked up two and put them on Tang Xin's plate.

The phone rang, and he leaned over to whisper in Tang Xin's ear, "I'm going out to answer the phone."

Tang Xin nodded in agreement.

After finishing the food on the plate, she still didn't see Jin Taize come back. Some guests had already left early, and she was a little restless.

I went out holding up my skirt to see where he was.

She didn't see him in the corridor or outside. Just as she was about to send him a message, a familiar voice seemed to come from the terrace at the end of the backyard.

"I know you are still angry with me because of what happened before, that's why you treated me like this, right?" The woman's voice was filled with shrill pleading.

"If you came to this dinner on purpose and waited for me here just to talk to me, I'm afraid I would disappoint Miss Shao." The man said indifferently, and Tang Xin could imagine his cold expression.

Miss Shao? Shao Chengxue? Tang Xin's heart skipped a beat, and she walked uncontrollably towards that direction.

"Brother Tai Ze, can you please not talk to me like that?" The woman asked silently. The night wind suddenly blew up, and a corner of the fiery red skirt came into view.

"It seems that we really didn't have any friendship before, so Miss Shao doesn't know me very well." The man said nonchalantly, his face calm and without any emotion.

"It's not that my father was unwilling to help Uncle Jin, it's really the Shao family..."

Jin Taize blocked the woman's words with his hand, "I never think others have an obligation to help me, nor do I place my hopes on others. So, if you think my attitude today is revenge for my grudge against you, that's completely unnecessary."

The woman looked over hesitantly, as if she didn't quite believe what the man said, and wanted to interject something.

The man continued, "So, my rule—naturally, I have no obligation to help anyone." He lowered his gaze coldly toward the woman, a warning clearly in his voice. "So, don't do anything pointless under my nose. Those news stories are meaningless."

The woman's face froze. She hoped to use her relationship with Jin Taize to throw a smokescreen and give Shao a chance to breathe. If she met him today and said some soft words based on their previous friendship, and if Shi Tian could help her, perhaps this crisis could be resolved.

No wonder the public opinion she created was replaced by other hot searches so quickly.

But she couldn't admit it, "Brother Tai Ze, you misunderstood, I..."

Jin Taize continued to interrupt her, "Don't test my bottom line. I won't allow anyone to take advantage of me. Speaking to you today is a small reward for Miss Shao's deliberate plot many years ago, which did please my mother. It can also be regarded as my greatest tolerance for you."

She hadn't expected Jin Taize's words to be so merciless and without any leeway. She had never been treated so harshly before, and her knuckles turned white from clenching her fingers so tightly.

However, the man in front of her was the one she had loved with all her heart when she was a girl. It was only later because Shi Tian lost power and her father obstructed her that she could no longer step into his world.

But later, Shi Tian was reborn. She tried to contact Aunt Jin again and visit her, but Aunt Jin politely declined.

From then on, I had no chance to see him again.

This time, Shao was desperate. Although her father did not say it out loud, he asked her to look for old acquaintances, hoping that they would let go of their past grudges, and it was also his instruction that she should do so.

So, even though I lost my dignity, I was still excited because I finally had a reason to see him.

The person I was thinking of still looked cold and aloof.

Even if she didn't show up and lost her qualifications, no one else could enter his life either.

Just like when they were young, every time she went to his house, he would go out with his friends before they could say a few words, but just those few glances made her satisfied.

However, everything was different from what she imagined...
