The chief ex-husband won't let go of Yi Xiaobao

Jingchen felt heartbroken.

Gu Moxuan's words hit the nail on the head, leaving him deeply depressed.

Even if he catches up with her now, Zhao Xiang really won't want him.

They might even hate him.

When Nie Jingchen saw the disgust and displeasure in "Zhao Xiang's" eyes just now, he felt like a stranger.

Has the public come to hate Zhao Xiang to this extent?

Nie Jingchen was extremely heartbroken, sitting in his chair like a deflated balloon.

......

Lin Qingran followed "Zhao Xiang" to the restroom and saw "Zhao Xiang" step onto the sink to wash her hands. She washed her hands several times before she was clean.

When she looked up, she saw Lin Qingran standing not far behind her. She frowned slightly, then turned around to face Lin Qingran.

"Why are you here too?"

She remained calm, and if it weren't for the way she had vigorously washed her hands earlier, her performance would have been flawless.

Lin Qingran pursed her thin lips and looked at "Zhao Xiang" before moving her gaze from her face to the back of her slightly red hand.

Her hands were so delicate, they almost didn't look like those of a trained person.

"I was just a little worried about you, so I came along to check on you."

She paused for a moment, then looked up at "Zhao Xiang" again, speaking in a calm and elegant tone.

"Seeing that you're okay, I'm relieved."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiang smiled, walked up to Lin Qingran, and said softly.

"It's nothing, it's just that seeing Nie Jingchen now makes me feel a little uncomfortable."

As she spoke, a hint of melancholy appeared in her eyes.

"After all, he hurt me so deeply in the past, so I can't completely let go of the hurt when I see him now."

The impersonator's words make sense.

Lin Qingran nodded slightly and said in a calm tone.

"I thought you would show all your dislike for him on your face, but I didn't expect you to be so calm, which surprised me."

"You've certainly grown a lot since I last saw you."

Lin Qingran spoke calmly, glanced at the time, turned and walked towards the front hall, saying in a nonchalant tone.

"The banquet is about to begin, let's go over there first."

Zhao Xiang frowned slightly as she watched Lin Qingran's retreating figure, then stepped forward to follow her.

"Qingran, actually, I came back to Beicheng this time intending to stay here permanently. My contact with Lin Xiaoruo was only because we met abroad."

“I know you and Lin Xiaoruo have a conflict, but I hope it won’t affect our relationship.”

As Zhao Xiang spoke, she looked at Lin Qingran with gentle eyes.

Lin Qingran remained calm, nodded slightly, and spoke in a remarkably natural tone.

"it is good."

Zhao Xiang smiled with satisfaction upon hearing her answer.

Lin Qingran narrowed her eyes slightly.

Now she is almost certain that there is more than just "Zhao Xiang" fighting behind the scenes.

Lin Xiaoruo, Zhao Xiang—who will be the next person to be involved with them?

As Lin Qingran pondered this, she saw a person dressed as a waiter walk past them.

Lin Qingran glanced at the person who walked past with an elegant gaze, then quickly looked away.

She took a few steps and realized that the person who had been beside her just moments before had not followed.

She immediately turned around and looked at "Zhao Xiang" with a puzzled expression.

Zhao Xiang stood there, looking in the direction the waiter had left, her eyes now serious.

"what happened?"

Lin Qingran felt a slight tension in her heart; the person who had just passed by seemed to be Zhao Xiang.

Could it be that this woman also knows the real Zhao Xiang very well?

Zhao Xiang had clearly changed her makeup, how could she still recognize her?

"It's nothing. I just thought I saw someone, and they seemed vaguely familiar."

After saying this, Zhao Xiang looked at Lin Qingran and smiled slightly.

"Maybe I'm seeing things. Let's go."

Lin Qingran nodded and walked towards the front hall.

Zhao Xiang followed behind Lin Qingran, looking at her with a slightly scrutinizing gaze, and asked in a low voice.

"Qingran, don't you think that waiter who just passed by looks a little familiar?"

Lin Qingran shook her head slightly, looking at "Zhao Xiang" with a puzzled expression, "You know her?"

Seeing that Lin Qingran truly had no doubts whatsoever, Zhao Xiang smiled slightly and said softly.

"No, it just feels somewhat familiar."

As she spoke, she walked to Lin Qingran's side, and the two entered the front hall together.

When Zhao Xiang appeared here, all the guests present naturally turned their attention to her.

Almost every woman present envied Zhao Xiang.

Zhao Xiang was born into a very good family, a true elite family.

Nie Jingchen looked at "Zhao Xiang" from afar and saw her calm and composed demeanor, extremely elegant, with her brows furrowed.

The current "Zhao Xiang" gives him a strange feeling, as if the person in front of him is no longer Zhao Xiang.

Her current state is completely different from before.

However, they haven't seen each other for so many years, so it's understandable that Zhao Xiang has changed.

"Miss Zhao, it's been a long time."

"Miss Zhao, I wonder if Commander Zhao is feeling any better?"

"When Zhao was young, he took good care of us. Now that the old commander is back in his hometown, if there is anything we can do to help, we will do our best."

As soon as Zhao Xiang appeared, she was surrounded by everyone and was placed in the center of attention, even overshadowing today's protagonists, Shen Huai and Lin Xiaoruo.

Lin Xiaoruo didn't mind at all. She walked to "Zhao Xiang's" side and greeted the guests with a big smile.

She had a bright smile on her face, and it was clear that she was in a good mood.

Lin Qingran raised an eyebrow, a hint of mockery in her eyes.

She wouldn't dare say she knew Lin Xiaoruo very well, but she did know a little about Lin Xiaoruo's nature.

Lin Xiaoruo used to be a very vain person. If anyone stole her thunder, she would definitely be extremely jealous and even resentful.

Seeing how well she treats the imposter Zhao Xiang now, it's not hard to guess that Lin Xiaoruo and "Zhao Xiang" have already built a good relationship during this period.

"Miss Zhao, please take a seat. We have arranged a seat for you here."

Zhao Xiang nodded upon hearing this, then turned her gaze to Lin Qingran and spoke in a calm and gentle tone.

"I'll just sit at the same table as Qingran and the others. After all, we've been friends for so many years and haven't seen each other in a long time."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoruo nodded respectfully, daring not to voice any objection.

"Come on, Miss Zhao, Miss Lin."

Master Shen nodded repeatedly as he listened to Zhao Xiang's words, and bowed as he led Zhao Xiang and Lin Qingran forward.

Lin Xiaoruo glanced at Lin Qingran, her eyes showing some dissatisfaction, but at this moment, she didn't dare to say anything more, just remained silent with a smile on her face.

In her eyes, Master Shen could be so polite to "Zhao Xiang," but he didn't need to treat Lin Qingran as a person.

After all, the Lin family no longer has any powerful backers.

Lin Qingran and Gu Moxuan have divorced and gone their separate ways. It is said that Lin Hao has also left the political arena and now has no status in Beicheng.

Therefore, they don't need to be polite to Lin Qingran at all.

After Mr. Shen led Lin Qingran and "Zhao Xiang" to the table where Gu Moxuan and Nie Jingchen were, he bowed and scraped as he greeted Gu Moxuan.

"Mr. Gu, we have a lot of guests today. Please forgive us if there is anything we haven't taken good care of."

Gu Moxuan nodded slightly, his expression kind and without the slightest discomfort, and spoke calmly and naturally.

"Mr. Shen, you're too kind. I can understand things like this."

Mr. Shen smiled and immediately pulled out an empty seat next to him for "Zhao Xiang" to sit down.

Throughout the entire process, Nie Jingchen's eyes seemed glued to "Zhao Xiang," unable to look away for even a moment.

Just now, when "Zhao Xiang" was surrounded by so many people, Nie Jingchen caught a fleeting glimpse of smugness and satisfaction on her face.

She thoroughly enjoys the feeling of being treated like royalty.

Everyone's attention was on her, as if she were the center of attention.

In the past, Zhao Xiang absolutely disliked attracting attention or being the center of attention.

Nie Jingchen frowned slightly, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.

The "Zhao Xiang" in front of him felt like a stranger, not the Zhao Xiang he knew.
