My sister regretted sending me to the correctional facility.

Lin Xia was very satisfied with my answer.

She told me there was a business dinner tomorrow night.

Zhao Ming will represent his company at the dinner.

This business dinner is of great importance.

Even Lin Xia will be involved.

After all, people who can attend business dinners are all prominent figures.

If I can find some good resources there.

That would be of great help to me later on.

Lin Xia helped me arrange an identity.

She is a department manager in her company.

So, I can go to the business dinner with Lin Xia tomorrow night.

The next night.

I felt a little awkward and uncomfortable wearing a suit that I hadn't worn in a long time.

Lin Xia teased me, "You're like a monkey in clothes, uncomfortable with this and uncomfortable with that."

I gave an awkward smile and said, "I can't help it, I haven't worn it in a long time."

Soon, I followed Lin Xia and smoothly entered a magnificent hotel.

The organizers of this business dinner booked the entire hotel.

This demonstrates its financial strength and scale.

I followed behind Lin Xia, and along the way I could notice many people giving me strange looks.

But I knew very well that those people were not looking at me.

Are they curious about who I am?

Why was he able to follow behind Lin Xia?

Some people even doubted whether Lin Xia and I were in a romantic relationship.

There was a boss with a big belly.

He recognized Lin Xia and greeted her familiarly: "Ms. Lin, is this your boyfriend?"

Before Lin Xia could speak...

I quickly explained, "I am one of Boss Lin's employees."

Lin Xia said, "Yes, he is a department manager in my company. I brought him to the business dinner tonight so he can broaden his horizons."

The boss laughed and said, "Then this young manager must be very capable, otherwise why would Boss Lin personally bring you to such an important business banquet?"

Because of Lin Xia's fame, the boss treated me very well.

He offered me his business card and even shook my hand personally.

They said they hoped to collaborate more in the future.

I accepted his name tag.

With the help of Lin Xia's connections, I was able to get to know my first boss without any problems.

Immediately afterwards, several other business owners who were familiar with Lin Xia came over to say hello.

After Lin Xia's introduction, they all exchanged business cards with me.

Before the business dinner began.

Lin Xia said she needed to use the restroom and asked me to wait for her in the lobby.

I nodded and did as Lin Xia said.

Just as I was standing alone in the lobby waiting.

I saw a familiar couple walk into the banquet hall.

The man was dressed in a sharp suit and had his hair neatly slicked back, looking every bit the successful man.

The woman wore a low-cut evening gown, beautiful and glamorous, like a beautiful white swan.

They were Zhao Ming and Gu Yao.

Both of them are here for the business dinner.

Because of what happened before.

When I saw Zhao Ming and Gu Yao, I instinctively turned my head away.

I prefer to avoid trouble.

Let's just pretend we didn't see those two people.

Just when I thought I could avoid these two by hiding like a coward.

Unexpectedly, when Zhao Ming and Gu Yao walked over...

I happened to turn my head slightly to see if the two people had left.

As she turned around, she happened to meet Zhao Ming's gaze.

I could see the surprise and astonishment in Zhao Ming's eyes.

And Gu Yao's furrowed brows and puzzled expression beside him.

"Lu Yi, you're actually here?"

The two spoke almost simultaneously.

Seeing that I couldn't avoid it, I could only grit my teeth and watch the two of them.

Yes, I'm here.

Zhao Ming suddenly chuckled and looked me up and down with disdain.

"Lu Yi, I must say, your new outfit actually looks quite decent! If the people here didn't know your background, they would probably really think you're a successful person! You're just a pig with a scallion stuck in its nose, what are you trying to prove!"

Zhao Ming's mockery of me has always been ruthless and indiscriminate.

Because in his eyes, I have always been the weak-willed Lu Yi since I was a child.

So he can bully and manipulate you at will.

Gu Yao, who was standing next to her, said, "Lu Yi, this outfit of yours, was it something I bought for you back then?"

My face looked rather pale.

It was rather rushed because Lin Xia brought me to a business dinner.

In addition, I didn't expect Gu Yao to come tonight as well.

So, I temporarily put on the suit that Gu Yao had bought for me.

Now they've really lost face.

Gu Yao saw right through him.

"Yes."

I reluctantly admitted it.

Upon hearing this.

Gu Yao's expression immediately turned angry.

"Lu Yi! How can there be a man like you in this world, so persistent and clingy!"

"I've already made it clear to you: put away your filthy thoughts and get out of here!"

"You must have known I was coming here tonight, so you deliberately wore the suit I bought you, just to prove something to me?"

Gu Yao's ridicule and scolding.

This immediately drew everyone's attention to me.

Those business owners who had chatted with me and exchanged business cards before.

He was looking at me with a strange expression.

Zhao Ming would not miss any opportunity to kick someone when they're down.

He said, "Hehe, Gu Yao, I told you long ago that Lu Yi looks honest and kind on the surface, but he is actually very dirty inside and full of bad intentions! Fortunately, I have sharp eyes and have seen through his schemes in time, so that his evil thoughts did not succeed!"

Gu Yao nodded: "Zhao Ming, I trust you. I believe you are the only man who is truly good to me wholeheartedly!"

I was completely speechless at the conversation between Zhao Ming and Gu Yao.

"Gu Yao, let me tell you clearly, this is a misunderstanding!"

"I didn't know you'd be here tonight."

Gu Yao immediately retorted: "Heh, since you knew I wasn't here, you deliberately wore the suit I bought for you, just to secretly wear it behind my back?"

"If you're so afraid of being exposed by me, why don't you go buy yourself a suit! You rely on women to buy you clothes and support you all day long, don't you have any shame?"

These words completely shocked everyone present.

The bosses who exchanged business cards with me.

His face looked as ugly as a liver color at that moment.

They secretly took my business cards and then threw them all into the trash can.

I was afraid that others would see that they were related to me, and I felt ashamed.

I clenched my fists, feeling extremely angry.

Zhao Ming saw me trembling with anger.

He instead mocked and ridiculed even more: "Lu Yi, if you're a man, you should return the clothes Gu Yao gave you!"

Upon hearing this, I acted impulsively and retorted angrily, "Fine, I'll give it back to you right now!"

Then, in front of everyone.

I took off my suit jacket and trousers and threw them directly into Gu Yao's hands.

Gu Yao was stunned for a moment. Seeing me do this, she became even angrier.

"And your shirt, tie, shoes, and socks—I bought them all for you!"

I retorted defiantly, "I've taken it all off, I'm giving it all back to you!"

After saying that, I took off all my clothes, leaving only my underwear.

In the eyes of all the guests attending the dinner.

I feel like a ridiculous monkey that has been stripped of all its fur.
