Big socks! Do you even understand how you kiss a villain?

Yi Qingyue spoke without any mercy. Her upbringing was meant to be seen by normal people, but it was clear that Leng Yichen was not considered a normal person in her eyes.

Upon hearing Su Nuannuan's name, Leng Yichen's face instantly turned cold, and he said unhappily, "Yi Qingyue, put away your arrogant attitude. Nuannuan would never talk about others behind their backs like you do."

Yi Qingyue casually lifted her eyelids: "First of all, I wasn't talking about her, I was talking about you. Secondly, if you don't want to listen, you can get lost. Do I need to point out where the door is?"

"You!" Leng Yichen slammed his chopsticks on the table and said coldly, "This is why I don't like you. You only care about yourself. Don't you have any responsibility for Nuannuan being sent abroad?"

Shen Yubai is so good to you, you could have easily asked him to help bring Nuannuan back, but what did you do? Not only were you unwilling to help, you even tried to obstruct it!

Seeing the smoke and fire rising over there, Zuo You, who was focused on watching the drama unfold, didn't even have time to eat meat.

When she heard the name "Su Nuannuan", she quickly reminded Shen Yan with her eyes and mouthed to him: Is it the Su Nuannuan that you sent abroad?

Seeing Shen Yan nod, Zuo You's gossip fire burned even brighter.

Yi Qingyue's clear voice grew increasingly impatient: "Leng Yichen, I'm not some straw boat, don't take your scorn out on me. I don't know why Su Nuannuan was sent abroad, but I know you're just afraid to go against that person from the Shen family."

I'm nobody to her, why should I help her?

"If you really like her that much, why don't you fight that guy for her? Are you too scared?"

"What is Shen Yan? He's just a stray pheasant. You guys really think he's a phoenix?" Leng Yichen said with a gloomy face, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

If we're talking about the person he hates the most, it's definitely Shen Yan, without a doubt.

He was just a cement worker from an urban village. The fact that he was willing to talk to him was already a favor to the Shen family. Yet, this lowly man, who was practically living in the mud, ignored his request and sent Nuannuan abroad, and even blocked the news!

Leng Yichen still remembers that it was raining that day. He humbly apologized three times on behalf of Nuan Nuan, but all he got in return was Shen Yan's mocking laugh.

"Leng Yichen, you've really impressed me these days. Don't you know he's the only heir of the Shen family's eldest branch?" Yi Qingyue glanced at him with disgust, and after hearing his assessment of Shen Yan, she didn't want to spend another second with him.

Although her interactions with Shen Yan were limited to her uncle and only a few meetings, it is undeniable that, in every respect, Shen Yan could leave Leng Yichen far behind.

After all, they were both in high society, and she would occasionally hear rumors about Shen Yan.

He was displaced from a young age, dropped out of high school to work after graduation, and never stepped into a university.

Yet, this person, who started from such a low point, was able to successfully take over the massive Shen Group in just one year. Such an achievement is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Perhaps due to the innate human tendency to admire the strong, Yi Qingyue actually held him in high esteem, and she had a premonition that in the near future, Shen Yan would become the most sought-after business tycoon in City A.

Seeing her defend Shen Yan so fiercely, Leng Yichen's eyes turned red with anger, and he questioned her sternly:

"Speaking up for him like this, do you think you've fallen for Shen Yan? He's just an illiterate man who didn't even go to university. Without the Shen family's support, he's nothing! Besides, he's a completely uncultured madman! Don't you know that..."

Before he could finish speaking, a bright green vegetable leaf swirled and landed on his face.

"Little black-hearted brat, you're not allowed to spread rumors about my Shen Yan!"

A crisp sound rang out. Leng Yichen removed the vegetable leaf from his face and looked in the direction of the sound. A girl was glaring at him angrily, her eyes seemingly spitting fire.

For some reason, Leng Yichen felt a sudden wave of disgust the moment he saw her face, and he even wanted to curse when he met her gaze.

"It's you!" Yi Qingyue turned around, her eyes flashing with surprise.

Since their last meeting at the hotel, Yi Qingyue would often recall the look in the girl's eyes when she fell into the girl's arms, but after checking the surveillance footage, she couldn't find any trace of her.

The girl seemed to have vanished into thin air, making her wonder if that encounter was just a hallucination.

"And who are you?" Leng Yichen threw the vegetable leaves on the ground with a dark face. As he touched them, he seemed to feel the oil stains sticking to them. He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't think I don't hit women!"

Zuo You winked at Yi Qingyue, then turned to Leng Yichen and slowly raised her middle finger: "You're not a man, so why are you pretending to be one?"

"Fine, you just wait!" Leng Yichen stretched his neck in anger, making his already sharp jawline even more angular.

"Mr. Leng, what are you waiting for? Why don't you tell me?" Shen Yan concealed the dark glint in his eyes and stood up next to Zuo You.

Zuo You squeezed his hand to comfort him, and Shen Yan's expression relaxed, but Zuo You felt that there was a trace of grievance lingering on him.

Success made her...feel affection.

Therefore, she boldly led Shen Yan to the opposite table, and opened her mouth in surprise under Leng Yichen's gaze:

"Are you a toad in a pond, croaking endlessly? What's wrong with Shen Yan? He manages such a huge corporation with his own abilities. And you? You're not even worth a hair on his head!"

Leng Yichen clenched his fist, his brows furrowed deeply, his gaze quickly sweeping across Shen Yan's face before finally settling on Zuo You, and said, "Do you know who I am? You're speaking up for him like this, you probably don't know that he has someone else in his heart."

Zuo You smiled wickedly: "Who are you? You are the evergreen tree of love-struck people, the pillar of the Joker, the mascot of McDonald's, the big boss of Gotham City, the highest number in a deck of cards, a major customer of Batman, and a permanent resident of the blacklist!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Qingyue couldn't help but laugh out loud. Leng Yichen stared intently at Zuo You, his voice chillingly cold: "You're the first person who dares to talk to me like that."

"Tsk! Man, getting so close to me, do you like me?" Zuo You said, taking a big step back. "Sorry, I'm a looks-obsessed person, I can't do things against my conscience."

"You!" Leng Yichen was so angry that he couldn't speak, and his chest ached in waves.

Zuo You nodded with a smile: "Yes, yes, I know I'm smart, beautiful and kind-hearted, don't be too obsessed with me, okay? I'm the woman you can't have!"

Leng Yichen had never seen such a shameless person. He couldn't retaliate at all, especially since Shen Yan was staring at him like a demon behind her. He was so angry that his face turned liver-colored instantly. After thinking about Shen Yan's methods, he chose to turn away and leave.

But Zuo You pressed on, asking, "No? You're leaving already? I haven't even said anything worse yet!"

Shen Yan suppressed a laugh and said, "No need to say anything, he's scared."

"Am I amazing?" Zuo You raised an eyebrow at him smugly, and when she saw the smile in his eyes, she felt relieved and turned to face the woman next to her.

Is this Yi Qingyue, the woman Shen Yan mentioned? Her former best friend?
