He did not shy away from Huo Yan's presence, and his gaze fell on Ruan Xingchen's face, staying there for an unusually long time.

"We just met two days ago, how can it be considered a long time since we last met?" Huo Yan's eyes were slightly cold, and he said, "Mr. Wu's memory is not very good."

The two men raised their hands and shook hands at the same time. Their faces were expressionless, but the veins on their wrists were bulging, and it was obvious that they were competing secretly.

A strange atmosphere suddenly formed between the three of them, and there was a hint of instinctive provocation in each other's eyes.

"Leave them alone."

Gu Jiu curled his lips and smiled at Ruan Xingchen, "Ms. Ruan, I'll take you to rest."

Ruan Xingchen was about to respond when a waiter suddenly walked straight past her, twisted his foot, and the drinks on the tray fell towards her.

Her eyes flashed, and she quickly moved to the side, but her sleeves were still wet by the spilled wine.

"Hug, sorry!"

The waiter's face turned pale with fear, and he stammered and bowed repeatedly to apologize: "I, I didn't stand firmly just now. I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!"

"How do you do your job?" Gu Jiu couldn't help but frown and scolded: "Didn't you receive any training before you came here? What are you thinking about when you don't pay attention and watch your step during work hours?"

The waitress was almost in tears and kept apologizing for her mistake.

Ruan Xingchen frowned slightly and wiped his wet cuffs with a tissue.

"Why are Madam Huo and Miss Gu being so aggressive?"

At this moment, a soft female voice sounded from the side.

Ruan Weisi wore a small crystal crown on her head and a beautiful white gauze evening gown, looking like a little princess from a fairy tale.

Her face was full of tenderness and consideration. She stepped forward to help the waiter up and said softly, "It's okay, don't be afraid. We are all human and we make mistakes. It's just a small thing, there's no need to panic."

"Ms. Ruan." The waiter looked at her with tears in his eyes and shook his head subconsciously: "No, it's my fault..."

"Okay, stop crying." Ruan Weisi interrupted her, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "It's just a dirty dress. I don't think Mrs. Huo cares, right?"

His eyes fell on Ruan Xingchen, hiding deep jealousy and resentment.

Ruan Xingchen paused slightly, raised his eyes but didn't look at her, and said calmly: "Mr. Gu, take care of your female companion. It's not a good thing to meddle in other people's business."

"You!" Ruan Weisi felt deeply humiliated, his face flushed, and he couldn't help but yelled angrily: "I'm talking to you, are you deaf?"

"Are you qualified to talk to Ms. Ruan?" Gu Jiu couldn't help but sneered, "Who the hell are you? If we had to listen to everyone like you, we'd be exhausted just talking to you every day."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but mutter, "It's just a toy. Do you really think you're a princess?"

If you can't see your own identity clearly, you will be laughed at.

The Ruan family is indeed not good enough compared to the three giants in H City, especially since she is Gu Zhao's cousin.

Ruan Weisi's face turned pale and she felt that everyone's gazes had turned into sharp thorns piercing her body, making her feel ashamed.

It's so embarrassing.

She couldn't help but look to her side for help and called out, "Gu Zhao."

Only then did she realize that Gu Zhao's gaze had been fixed on Ruan Xingchen, extremely focused, and with a light in his eyes that she couldn't see clearly.

Her heart skipped a beat, and her chin, which had been held high, could no longer be lifted. She couldn't help but retreat to his side and shouted insecurely, "Gu Zhao!"

"Hmm?" Gu Zhao frowned when he was interrupted, with a hint of impatience in his eyes, and finally looked at her.

Huo Yan frowned slightly, took a half step forward, and protected Ruan Xingchen behind him.

"I'm your girlfriend. They treated me like this, and you don't react at all?"

Ruan Weisi had tears in his eyes and felt extremely ashamed.

Especially since Huo Yan was standing on the side, she felt even more embarrassed, but she couldn't help but grab Gu Zhao's sleeve.

Gu Zhao seemed to have just realized what was happening. His deep gaze fell on Gu Jiu, and his brows furrowed. "Gu Jiu, watch your attitude when you speak."

"What's my attitude?"

Gu Jiu became more and more disdainful. He glanced at Ruan Weisi who was pretending to be so pretentious and sneered, "How should I treat the thing you brought with you? It's just a decoration, and you really take yourself seriously. Ridiculous."

What she despised the most was this kind of woman, the one who clung to men like a dodder, as if she couldn't live without a man.

"Ajiu." Gu Zhuo said in a blaming tone, gently teaching: "Miss Ruan doesn't know her place, but you can't be impolite. What did I teach you since you were a child? You can't be rude just because others are rude. Have you forgotten?"

Ruan Xingchen couldn't help but cover her lips and laugh.

As expected of Dr. Gu, who had a sharp tongue, he was very roundabout and sarcastic when dealing with people. The color on Ruan Weisi's face kept changing, which was very interesting.

"Anyway, she's the one I brought here."

Gu Zhao frowned and said condescendingly, "With this attitude, do you take me seriously?"

Gu Jiu curled his lips and said nothing.

Ruan Weisi's face turned pale in an instant, and he clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging into his palms.

She relied on the man she loved and only cared about her own face. Gu Jiu showed her contempt and disdain without a word of reprimand.

Did he not notice, or was he too lazy to argue?

Or maybe he thought the same thing in his heart?

She stood there motionless, the soft music and the voices of people talking in her ears seemed to fade away, and she was alone, enduring indifference, disgust and disdain.

Why!

She wanted to smash the porcelain on the spot, throw it hard in these people's faces, scream at them, and vent her anger, but she couldn't.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the group dispersed.

Ruan Weisi looked blankly at Huo Yan who was chatting and laughing. Even when chatting, he still raised his hand to separate the passers-by from Ruan Xingchen.

His natural protective attitude seemed to have placed her at the top of his heart long ago, so that he could protect her comprehensively no matter what he did.

This should have been hers!

Jealousy and unwillingness gnawed at her heart. Ruan Weisi bit her lips tightly, screaming wildly in her heart.

Ruan Xingchen doesn't deserve it at all! All this happiness and glory were stolen from her!

Gu Zhao had gone to attend a social event and didn't even glance at her. Ruan Weisi tightly gripped the phone, with a hint of madness in her eyes.

Ruan Xingchen, I want to see why you are still so proud after losing Huo Yan!

A girl abandoned in the slums dared to ignore her? She must teach her a lesson!

The thick juice was a bit sticky, and even after wiping it dry, his cuffs were still a little sticky. Ruan Xingchen couldn't help but frown and whispered, "Excuse me, I'm going to the bathroom."
