Back at the party venue, the dancing session had just begun, and elegant music filled the room.

Several couples had already embraced and glided onto the dance floor, dancing gracefully.

Liang Liangwei stood to the side, holding a glass of fruit wine, watching with great interest the Wen couple dancing intimately on the dance floor.

I wonder if Yan Zhixu can dance. Although he is very capable in many things, it's hard to say whether he can dance.

Or rather, she couldn't imagine what he would look like dancing—would he have a blank expression, or a gentle gaze? Would his movements be graceful, or would he step on his female partner's toes?

She couldn't help but chuckle.

I picked up the fruit wine and took a sip.

Yan Zhixu entered through the side door and saw his girlfriend's charming and beautiful appearance from afar.

Why is someone laughing so happily all by themselves? What are they thinking?

He smiled and walked towards her with one hand in his pocket.

He stopped abruptly after taking only two steps, his handsome face darkening slightly.

She saw a man walking towards her.

The man who walked up to Liang Liangwei was a newly listed tycoon from a company that had just gone public. He had a dashing and debonair look on his face and was dressed very elegantly. He reached out to Liang Liangwei with an air of superiority.

"Madam, would you do me the honor of dancing with me?"

This wasn't the first time in the past half hour that a man had approached her to talk.

Liang Liangwei smiled and politely declined, saying, "I'm sorry, I have a boyfriend."

The other person raised an eyebrow, but still wouldn't let it go: "Why isn't he by your side? He doesn't seem to value you much. I've been observing you for a while now, and I've only seen you rejecting people; I haven't seen any men lingering around you. Give me a chance to show off? My name is Xie Wen, and I am..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw a tall figure walk up to the beautiful woman in front of him and put his arm around her waist without any hesitation.

He paused for a moment, looked at the man, and the next instant, he met a pair of cold and sharp eyes, and his body froze.

Yan Zhixu stared coldly at Xie Wen: "You're bothering my girlfriend."

Liang Liangwei was also startled. She turned her head and saw it was him. A smile immediately appeared on her lips: "You're back?"

Yan Zhixu lowered his eyes to look at his girlfriend in his arms, his expression softening: "Yes, we're done talking."

Xie Wen snapped out of his daze, somewhat indignant, and said, "What kind of boyfriend are you? You ignored your girlfriend for over half an hour, and you still have the nerve to come back? You weren't secretly meeting another woman, were you?"

Is this guy looking for death?

Yan Zhixu's handsome face darkened.

But before he could respond, Liang Liangwei retaliated first.

"You didn't even see it, yet you're spouting nonsense! What my boyfriend did is none of your business! Be careful, or I'll sue you for defamation!"

Her voice wasn't loud, but it wasn't quiet either, and it attracted the attention of those around her.

Xie Wen immediately lost face, his face turning bright red: "You...you're so ungrateful! I was trying to help you! He abandoned his female companion at the party and disappeared, and now he suddenly reappears. Isn't that suspicious? You really believe he didn't do anything wrong?"

Liang Liangwei: "Of course I trust my boyfriend. If I don't trust him, why should I trust you?"

"I acquiesced to his leaving, and I know what he's going to do. But you, who look respectable, how come you have such a foul mouth that loves to gossip? Why don't you mind your own family's affairs and instead meddle with strangers? What makes you think you're so great?"

She spoke without holding back, leaving Xie Wen speechless, and the people around him began to point at Xie Wen and whisper among themselves.

Yan Zhixu looked at Liang Liangwei with some surprise. She hadn't expected her to defend her in public like this, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

Xie Wen was both angry and annoyed, and shouted, "I'm just speculating from a normal person's perspective. If your man left you here for more than half an hour, wouldn't you suspect that he was having an affair?"

Hearing the commotion, Xiang Ting quickly walked over, and upon hearing his last sentence, she immediately laughed.

"Mr. Xie, it's laughable that you make baseless accusations against others with such self-righteousness! I remember you have a fiancée, right? Since she didn't come tonight, does she know that you abandoned her and came to the party to flirt with someone else's girlfriend?"

One sentence caused laughter from those around him.

Xie Wen's face flushed with anger, and he was about to yell, "What's it to you..."

Seeing Wen Ruixing standing behind her, staring coldly at him, he was so frightened that he immediately shut his mouth.

The organizer of the reception was Secretary-General Song. He came from the courtyard and received a report from the staff that something had happened at the reception, so he quickly pushed through the crowd to come over.

Upon seeing Yan Zhixu, he paused for a moment, then quickly asked, "What happened?"

Xiang Ting: "Mr. Song, you've come at the right time. My friend's boyfriend only left for a short while, and he spread rumors that he went to see another woman. It's ridiculous. How could you invite someone with such a filthy mind?"

Secretary-General Song looked in the direction she was pointing and saw Yan Zhixu and a beautiful woman beside him. His heart stirred.

It turns out this is his girlfriend.

Yan Zhixu's expression was also unpleasant; she stared at him with a cold, expressionless face.

"Secretary-General Song, it seems I shouldn't have come to tonight's reception?"

Secretary-General Song's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, this guy is angry. He has to handle this well.

He then turned serious and said to Xie Wen, "Mr. Xie, I invited you here because I thought some of your investment ideas were quite innovative. I didn't expect you to be this kind of person!"

“This Mr. Yan is my honored guest. I invited him here not only to attend tonight’s cocktail party, but also to discuss an important collaboration. I just invited him to my study, and we talked for more than half an hour. Mr. Yan didn’t leave for a moment, and he only returned here 5 minutes before me. How did he become the object of your suspicion that he was having an affair with another woman? Do you have any evidence?”

His words were more effective than evidence, not only proving Yan Zhixu's innocence but also highlighting his extraordinary status.

Who is Secretary-General Song? He represents the Chamber of Commerce publicly, but privately he has frequent contact with high-ranking government officials. Anyone who can be specially invited to his study for a private talk is certainly not an ordinary person.

This Xie Wen is just a stranger, yet he criticizes and makes random accusations against him; he is truly overestimating himself.

What's more, he himself has a fiancée, yet he still invites other people's girlfriends to dance, which is even more despicable.

The people around him looked at him with disdain.

Xie Wen's face turned pale and then red. He had completely lost face after being lectured in public by the host of the party.

"I...I was just joking, don't take it so seriously..."

Liang Liangwei sneered: "Your tone and attitude just now didn't sound like you were joking."

Xiang Ting: "That's right, everyone's watching."

Secretary-General Song ignored him completely, looked at Yan Zhixu, and politely asked, "Mr. Yan, what do you think we should do?"

Yan Zhixu lowered his eyes, gently straightened the black coat collar on Liang Liangwei's shoulder, and said in a calm voice, "This is Secretary-General Song's territory. You can handle it as you see fit."

Secretary-General Song: "Alright, then I'll handle it for Mr. Yan."

Looking at Xie Wen, his expression changed instantly, and he said, "Mr. Xie, you will be blacklisted by Song's Business Strategy. From now on, you will not be invited to any of Song's business activities. Please leave!"

Amidst the mocking gazes of the crowd, Xie Wen slunk away.

Unbeknownst to anyone, this scene was witnessed once again by Commander Liang, who happened to be passing by.
