After the divorce, my ex-husband's cousin tricked me into getting a marriage certificate.

Dingding's eyes widened even more.

"What are you looking at? You're annoyed by me, aren't you? Let me tell you, other people are annoyed by you too. So what if your family has a little money? If your family didn't have money, would you dare to be so arrogant?"

Xu Qing quickly stepped in to smooth things over, "Ding Ding, Brother Chuan is in a bad mood because of family matters, please understand."

Ding Ding pouted, "He's not like that at all. Don't use family matters as an excuse. You're such a grown man, and you don't even know the most basic respect for others. Do you think people are being accommodating to you because they're afraid of you?"

"I just don't want to argue with you."

Xu Qing kept winking at Ding Ding, almost crying.

Ding Ding glared at him, "Don't wink at me. I'm going to say it anyway. That's just how I am. If someone respects me, I'll respect them. If someone doesn't respect me, I won't respect them either."

The manager arrived with his men to serve the food, and Ding Ding shut her mouth.

Xu Qing sat down, poured her a glass of lemonade, and said with a smile, "I just ordered some random things. You can take a look later and add some of your favorite dishes."

Ding Ding glanced at the dishes on the table. Xu Qing had ordered a lot of meat, including lamb and beef.

She picked up her chopsticks to prepare the meat for the hot pot, saying, "That's enough, let's eat first, I'm hungry."

Ignoring Lin Mengchuan, she started eating on her own.

Lin Mengchuan watched Ding Ding eat meat heartily in front of him and found it unbelievable.

This woman just scolded him for being impolite, but now she's happily eating without a care for her image.

Seeing Dingding eating so heartily, Xu Qing asked, "How is it? Is our hot pot delicious?"

Dingding nodded as she ate, "Delicious."

Lin Mengchuan had eaten here a few times, but he didn't find it particularly delicious.

He couldn't resist picking up a slice of beef with his chopsticks, rinsing it in the broth, putting it in his own bowl, and then taking a bite with a different pair of chopsticks.

It tastes pretty average.

Xu Qing could tell from Lin Mengchuan's expression that he didn't like it.

Anyway, as long as Ding Ding is happy, Xu Qing is too lazy to care about Lin Mengchuan. That guy is too pretentious, even more pretentious than a woman.

Ding Ding, enjoying her meal, asked Xu Qing, "Want two bottles of ice-cold beer? Let's have a drink."

“Sure,” Xu Qing said, raising her hand to call the manager over. “Give us two bottles of ice-cold beer, the kind in cans.”

The manager agreed and quickly jogged off to get the ice-cold beer.

He even opened the bottle before handing it to Dingding.

The manager realized that their boss's son liked this girl and that she might become Mrs. Xu someday.

So the manager has to take good care of this girl.

Ding Ding thanked the manager, raised her beer and clinked glasses with Xu Qing, "Come on, cheers, thank you for the treat, Boss Xu."

Xu Qing's mouth was practically stretched to her ears as she grinned, "No need to be polite, cheers!"

Lin Mengchuan was very annoyed that the two of them were completely ignoring him, but he couldn't bring himself to ask Xu Qing for beer.

After downing half a bottle of beer, Ding Ding suggested they toast Xu Qing's father.

Xu Qing clapped her hands in agreement, and the two of them went off together with their beers.

They not only toasted Xu Lang, but also all of Xu Lang's clients and friends.

They gave Xu Lang plenty of face.

Xu Lang was overjoyed and asked someone to bring Ding Ding a chair so she could sit down and tell them about things in the entertainment industry.

Ding Ding had seen this kind of scene many times before; she often drank with investors.

They handle this situation with ease.

They made Xu Lang's group of clients extremely happy.

He also promised to get some autographed photos of Qiao Ran for Xu Qing, so that Xu Qing could leave her contact information for the bosses.

Xu Qing also felt very proud.

They looked at Ding Ding with new respect.

As Lin Mengchuan ate, he realized he was the only one left.

Xu Qing and Ding Ding stayed at Xu Lang's table and didn't come back.

Well, anyway, he also thinks Dingding is too noisy. It's good for him to eat alone, it's quiet.

But why were the manager and waiters whispering and looking at him?

During the meal, Lin Mengchuan noticed that the manager had brought beer to Xu Lang's table several times.

The air over there was filled with cheerful laughter.

The meal didn't end until 9 p.m., and Ding Ding even accompanied Xu Lang to see the guests off.

Lin Mengchuan scoffed. Did Ding Ding think she was Xu's daughter-in-law?

After seeing Xu Lang's guests off, Ding Ding also bid farewell to the Xu family father and son. Xu Lang insisted that his driver take Ding Ding home.

Ding Ding politely declined.

Xu Lang pointed at his son Xu Qing and said, "Xu Qing, you take Miss Ding home. It's so late, and she's drunk so much. We can't let her go home alone."

Xu Qing had no choice but to run to Lin Mengchuan and ask him to drive for him.

Lin Mengchuan, almost as if possessed, agreed and drove Ding Ding home with Xu Qing.

After Ding Ding got out of the car and left, Lin Mengchuan suddenly asked Xu Qing, "You're not going to date this vulgar woman, are you?"

Xu Qing was stunned, looked at Lin Mengchuan, and asked, "Are you talking about Ding Ding?"

Lin Mengchuan looked at her with disdain, "Who else could it be but her? Shouting and yelling with a bunch of men, drinking so much alcohol, she doesn't act like a woman at all. Do you think Su Yani would act like that?"

Xu Qing frowned. "You think Su Yani is good?"

Lin Mengchuan glanced at Xu Qing and said, "I don't think Su Yani is good. I mean, girls should be as dignified and proper as Su Yani, not as vulgar as men. She has the nerve to say that I have no manners."

Xu Qing bit her cheek. "I don't think Ding Ding is vulgar. On the contrary, I think she's just being genuine, straightforward, and generous, unlike Su Yani, who treats people differently based on their social status. Her politeness is limited to rich people."

"Do you know how Su Yani treats me? She looks down on me and ignores me completely. Do you think that's good? Well, you're just like Su Yani, you treat people differently based on their status."

Xu Qing didn't care about Lin Mengchuan's attitude towards him, but he did care about Lin Mengchuan's attitude towards his father, Xu Lang.

Ding Ding is right, Lin Mengchuan is ill-mannered.

Lin Mengchuan slammed on the brakes and said, "Get out of the car."

Xu Qing: "This is my car."

Lin Mengchuan glared at Xu Qing and tried to open the car door to get out, but a lot of cars surged from behind.

He thought for a moment and felt he had no reason to get off the bus. "I'll get off when I get home."

So I started the car again.

The two remained silent the entire way, each sulking.

Lin Mengchuan returned to his doorstep, opened the car door, got out, and drove away.

Xu Qing silently picked up her phone and called a designated driver.

When Shen Qingzhu saw her son return, she asked, "Where did you go? Your father was just buried this afternoon, and you went out to play?"

Lin Mengchuan asked irritably, "Is there something you need?"

"Is something wrong?" Shen Qingzhu looked at her son in surprise. "You're actually asking me? Are you going to work tomorrow? Your dad's position is vacant. You should go to his office and sit in his seat tomorrow."

Have you figured out how to handle all these things?

Lin Mengchuan: "That's my business. I'll handle it myself. You don't need to worry about it."

Shen Qingzhu: "You'll handle it yourself? Don't you know your own limitations? Let me tell you, I've already spoken to Su Wenshan. You'll go directly to him when you go to work tomorrow."

"He will hold a shareholders' meeting and announce that you are the new chairman successor... Forget it, I'll go with you tomorrow. I don't trust you to handle things, lest you cause me trouble again."

Lin Mengchuan stared straight at his mother. "Mom, what do you mean by that?"

Shen Qingzhu: "Which part of my sentence did I not make clear?"

Lin Mengchuan chuckled self-deprecatingly, "I understand. Since you like to worry so much, then you can take the chairman's position. The marriage with the Su family can be called off."
