After rebirth, I cut off my love brain sister and want to be the queen
Chapter 224 will be updated tomorrow morning
The restaurant was already full of people. Zhou Minghe and I chose a seat in a corner where there were not many people. A few men and women dressed in elite attire came over and asked us if we minded sharing a table. Li Ruowei smiled and said she didn't mind.
It may be because Li Ruowei and I are two different women, plus, we both look good. Li Ruowei has a natural elegance, while I win by being young. Plus, I make myself look quite classy, with simple clothes, thick long straight black hair, and fresh makeup without any sharpness, which makes me approachable.
Several men in suits next to me immediately came over to chat with me and asked what we did for a living. Li Ruowei made up a story and said that we were women's clothing designers and that we were currently promoting several brands. She also said that we already had stores in Beijing, Shanghai and Chongqing. I was completely confused, but Li Ruowei said it so easily.
The men quickly handed over their business cards. One of them, who was younger and seemed to be single, came around and sat next to me and chatted with me.
I could feel that he wanted to get to know me, and he was also bragging about his identity, saying that his biggest dream was to become a shareholder of the company.
The other party was trying so hard to brag that I could only laugh dryly beside him and couldn't expose him.
Li Ruowei next to her was telling the other person the development history of her women's clothing brand in a very clear and logical manner, which left the other person confused.
Just as Li Ruowei and I were being pestered to chat, a cold male voice came from behind us: "Make room, I'm her brother."
The man was startled and I turned around suddenly, seeing Zhou Minghe standing beside him with a grim expression.
"My sister is young, don't lie to him." Zhou Minghe directly exposed the man's arrogance.
The man knew Zhou Minghe's identity and immediately gave up his seat. Then he looked at me with an expression of disbelief, as if he thought I might really be the eldest daughter of the Zhou family.
After he walked a few steps, he turned around and gave me a charming look, then made a phone call gesture.
I took a look at the business card on the table, and Zhou Minghe grabbed the business card and put it in his pocket.
Li Ruowei suddenly turned her head to look at Zhou Minghe and said, "Aren't you her ex-boyfriend's nephew? When did you become her brother?"
Zhou Minghe explained: "If I don't come to help her, she will be deceived by that bastard."
Li Ruowei laughed out loud upon hearing this. "Your nephew is quite good, but there's no way Jingjing would be deceived by such an ordinary man. You should know who her girlfriend is now."
Zhou Minghe's face froze instantly.
The man next to Li Ruowei seemed to feel embarrassed by being fooled by Li Ruowei, so he had to get up and leave with his colleague.
I changed the subject and gave Li Ruowei a thumbs up: "Ruowei, you are quite good at fooling people."
"I'm telling the truth, but my women's clothing brand went bankrupt." Li Ruowei spread her hands and said, "In the past two years, I did open stores in several major cities."
I was stunned. It turned out that he was not bragging and what he said was all true.
Zhou Minghe reached out for the red wine next to him, poured himself half a glass, and then started drinking it.
Li Ruowei smiled and asked him, "Mr. Zhou, your company's products are quite competitive. I'll give you my boss's business card. You can talk to him about the follow-up and see if there's room for cooperation."
Zhou Minghe was stunned, and Li Ruowei handed him the business card. After he took it, he looked at Li Ruowei with a slightly surprised expression.
Li Ruowei smiled and said, "My husband is also involved in this field, you should know him."
Zhou Minghe nodded, then looked at me with an incredible expression, as if to say, how could I become friends with a big boss's wife like Li Ruowei.
I pretended not to notice his expression and lowered my head to eat.
Suddenly, several noble-looking women came over together. They seemed to be people Li Ruowei knew. They dragged Li Ruowei away and said they wanted to have afternoon tea with her.
The people Li Ruowei just said she wanted to hide from might be these somewhat noisy rich ladies.
"Jingjing, I'm going to have tea with them. You can go back by yourself later." Li Ruowei felt helpless, but it seemed difficult to refuse these rich ladies.
"Okay, I'll go back after dinner." I nodded at her.
After Li Ruowei left, the atmosphere between Zhou Minghe and I returned to normal.
"Su Beicheng wants to bring you into his circle. It seems that he really takes you seriously." Zhou Minghe laughed sarcastically.
I lowered my head and laughed awkwardly twice: "He's not bad."
"I heard that he was going to get married but didn't. It was probably because of you," Zhou Minghe said coldly.
"This...probably has nothing to do with me." I explained softly.
"How is that possible? He definitely doesn't want to marry that woman, so he comes back to you." Zhou Minghe snorted coldly.
I lowered my hand and looked at him: "Can we talk about something else?"
Zhou Minghe seemed to see me put my hand under the table, and he suddenly reached out and grabbed my fingers under the table.
I was shocked and tried to pull my hand back, but Zhou Minghe held it tightly and wouldn't let me move.
His palm was warm. The air conditioner here was turned up quite high, but my fingers were cold. When he held my hand like this, my heart trembled.
"Zhou Minghe..." I glared at him.
Zhou Minghe gritted his teeth and said, "Did you ask that woman to introduce me to a girlfriend? Yin Jingjing, are you so eager for me to be with someone else?"
I was stunned. What was going on in his head? How could he possibly blame me?
"I didn't." I bit my lip. "Ruowei thought you were pretty, and she felt sorry for her cousin, so she wanted to get you two together."
Zhou Minghe narrowed his eyes and said, "Then why don't you reject it for me?"
"Who am I to refuse on your behalf? Stop making fun of me." My fingers were still struggling, and Zhou Minghe finally couldn't hold them anymore. I quickly put my hands on the table. The fingertips that were cool just now were now slightly sweaty.
Zhou Minghe snorted lightly: "You really don't care about me anymore."
"It's more appropriate for us to be friends." After saying that, I stood up and took my bag: "I'll be leaving first."
Zhou Minghe also stood up and followed me to the less crowded corridor.
"I will stay in Shanghai for a few more days. I want to travel around. Can you spare some time to accompany me?" Zhou Minghe invited me in such a charming way.
I looked back at him and shook my head, "I'm sorry, I can't accompany you."
"I won't do anything to you." Zhou Minghe's eyes were filled with disappointment. "Just like friends, just hanging out."
I was stunned. The next second, my eyes were sore. I bit my lip and said cruelly, "No, not even friends."
Zhou Minghe clenched his fists, his eyes reddening, "So what you just said about being friends was also a lie?"
I was stunned.
