My ex-husband got engaged, I was reborn, and the young master of Beijing's elite circle went cr

"I heard you've made plans to go drinking and partying with Xiaoxue tonight? Want me to come along?"

Upon hearing Cheng Yan's request, Jian He immediately prepared to refuse without hesitation.

You see, she had just told Cheng Xue to find her more handsome men. She was getting a divorce, and this was something that had to be celebrated properly.

If we bring Cheng Yan, such a proper and upright gentleman, along, everyone will feel too uncomfortable, especially her. She probably won't even be in the mood to have fun.

How disappointing!

Therefore, Jian He rejected Cheng Yan without even thinking.

"Attorney Cheng, isn't this inappropriate?"

"why?"

"Xiaoxue and I were just meeting up for drinks, not for anything serious. A gentleman like you probably shouldn't be going to such an event with us, right?"

Jian He's refusal instantly elevated Cheng Yan's status. When Cheng Yan learned that he was seen as a gentleman in Jian He's eyes, he felt a strange sense of joy.

He smiled slightly and tried again.

"Actually, drinking isn't something a gentleman can't do. Even a great literary figure like Li Bai from the Tang Dynasty enjoyed a few drinks, didn't he?"

Hearing Cheng Yan use such a lofty figure as Li Bai as a comparison, Jian He couldn't help but stick out her tongue.

She then turned to Cheng Yan and said, "Attorney Cheng, it's not that I don't want to take you along, it's just that our event really isn't suitable for you."

"We're just a bunch of kids, we can't be serious when we're being silly, I doubt you'd even look at us..."

Gao Xiang, who was driving in the driver's seat, almost burst out laughing when he heard Jian He's words.

Whether Cheng Yan realized it or not, the driver certainly did. The reason they didn't want to include Cheng Yan was because they were a little disgusted by his age.

Cheng Yan was about to try again to defend herself when, unexpectedly, they arrived at the Jian Group building. Gao Xiang stopped the car, and Jian He deftly opened the car door and jumped out.

"Attorney Cheng, I'll make it up to you later. Thank you so much."

After saying that, Jian He turned and ran away without looking back.

Cheng Yan stuck his head out of the car window and shouted at Jian He, but Jian He seemed not to hear him and disappeared at the speed of light.

Cheng Yan was in a bad mood.

He kept arguing with Gao Xiang.

"I handled her divorce proceedings, and she went to a party without me?"

"What does she mean? What exactly does she mean?"

Seeing his boss's frustrated expression, Gao Xiang couldn't help but explain, "Young Master Cheng, Miss Jian means she thinks you're a bit too old..."

Upon hearing Gao Xiang's words, Cheng Yan's face turned ashen with anger.

He argued with Gao Xiang, "How am I old? I'm clearly four years older than her, okay? Does that count as being old?"

Gao Xiang was speechless. Wasn't four years old a big age? If he remembered correctly, there was already a generation gap at three years old.

In addition, Cheng Yan usually dresses quite formally, often in shirts and trousers, with a mature style, so he does look a bit older.

"Young Master Cheng, you are indeed a bit older than Miss Jian. I suggest you change your style."

"Besides, from what Miss Jian said, she and our young lady are going to a bar to celebrate. I also think it's a bit inappropriate for you to go dressed like this."

This was the first time Gao Xiang had dared to say such things to his own boss.

Cheng Yan looked down at his clothes, and then at Gao Xiang sitting in the front row.

After a while, he said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Take me to change the style."

"Also, contact Xiaoxue and make sure she sends me the location where she and Jianhe were drinking tonight."

Cheng Yan's face darkened, looking utterly dejected.

Jian He and Cheng Xue had agreed to meet at a bar in Nanluo City. At nine o'clock in the evening, Jian He, having settled Rui Bao in, arrived at the bar as promised.

Before she and Yin Muqiao divorced, Yin Muqiao told her that bars were places frequented by disreputable people. So, in order to please Yin Muqiao, she never went to a bar.

A few days ago, she heard from an employee of the Jane Group that bars are the best place to de-stress, and that people who go to bars to drink can effectively release their mental and physical stress.

Today, Jian He changed into an outfit that was very different from her usual style. She put on exaggerated makeup and went to the entrance of the bar.

Just as she reached the entrance of the bar, she heard a familiar voice. When she looked up, she was surprised to find her ex-husband shouting at the top of his lungs, directing a luxury car to back into a parking space.

Dressed in bodyguard uniform, he barked and howled like a dog.

Jian He remembered that he was a security guard in a residential complex. How did he end up in a bar? Could it be that the pressure of paying back Wu Hua for the art exhibition was too much, forcing him to take on multiple part-time jobs?

With the intention of not wanting to have too much contact with him, Jian He planned to send a message to Cheng Xue, telling her to go to another place.

Unexpectedly, before she could even send a message, Yin Muqiao had already discovered her presence.

Upon seeing her, Yin Muqiao's face darkened, and he walked straight up to her. When he saw Jian He's heavy makeup, Yin Muqiao's expression visibly turned ugly.

Before Jian He could even speak, he began to blame her.

"Jian He, look at what you're wearing! And your makeup, it looks like a monkey's butt! I just came to work here today, and you immediately followed me here?"

"I knew you'd regret it. I didn't expect your regret to come so quickly. Weren't you so tough during the divorce? Why are you coming to my door now?"

"Let me tell you, I will not forgive you easily. Even if you chase me here, I will not remarry you."

Yin Muqiao's words made Jian He so angry that she wanted to slap him twice.

She really wanted to know where Yin Muqiao got the courage to say those words to her.

Was it given to you by Fish Leong?

"Yin Muqiao, you really have a strange sense of self-confidence... Who told you I came here to see you?"

"Do you think I, the president of the Jian Group, would actually want to be with a lowly security guard like you? You're dreaming. You're dreaming."

Hearing Jian He's retort, Yin Muqiao's brows furrowed sharply.

"Jian He, don't go too far. Now leave here obediently and don't make me angry." Yin Muqiao's face hardened, and he adopted the same domineering attitude he used to have when he manipulated Jian He.

Jian He snorted coldly. It seemed she needed to teach her ex-husband a lesson.

She reached out and waved to the security manager standing at the bar entrance.

"Manager, come here..."
