Shen Yue's face was once again filled with a warm smile as she led Ma Yingwu to greet them.

"Chen Dong, you've finally arrived! And Meng Ran too, come in and sit down. We're going to have a great time today."

Shen Yue greeted them warmly, her voice clear and loud, as if they were close friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

"Shen Yue, congratulations! The company is thriving so much. I'm so happy for you."

Chen Dong spoke sincerely, his smile genuine and warm, without the slightest hint of falsehood or affectation.

Shen Yue tilted her head slightly, raised her chin, and said with a hint of pride, "This is all thanks to everyone's hard work. Also, Yingwu has given me a lot of real support behind the scenes. You know, his family has abundant resources, and he has helped the company a lot in expanding business and introducing advanced technologies. Yingwu's company, TSB, is a large group with a registered capital of several million yuan. It is a well-known and prestigious company in the industry."

As she spoke, she deliberately tightened her grip on Ma Yingwu's arm, resting her head slightly on his shoulder, appearing like a little bird clinging to him, trying to show off her current superiority and happiness.

When Shen Yue praised him like that, Ma Yingwu felt proud and elated.

He straightened his back, like a proud peacock, a smug smile on his face, and said, "Yueyue is so capable and hardworking, of course I have to support her wholeheartedly. If the company needs anything in the future, just say the word, and I will definitely do my best. All the resources in my family can be used by Yueyue."

Chen Dong smiled politely, but didn't reply; he just listened quietly.

At this moment, Chu Mengran tugged at Chen Dong's sleeve gently, like a spoiled kitten, and whispered, "Dongzi, I'm a little thirsty."

Chen Dong immediately responded gently, his eyes full of doting: "I'll go get you something to drink. You stay here and wait for me, and don't wander off."

As he spoke, he turned and walked toward the table where the drinks were placed, his steps steady and quick.

As Shen Yue watched Chen Dong's departing figure, the fire of jealousy in her heart burned even more fiercely, almost consuming her.

She thought to herself that if it weren't for Chu Mengran, this "Cheng Yaojin" who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, Chen Dong, who used to be so obedient and subservient to her, would still be around her like before, showing concern for her and doing whatever she asked.

"Mengran, how long have you and Chen Dong been together? You two seem so inseparable, it's truly enviable."

Shen Yue asked with a forced smile, but a hint of sourness was hidden behind the smile.

Chu Mengran's face flushed slightly, the blush spreading like the sunset over the sky, gradually reaching her ears.

She replied shyly, "It's been a while now. Dongzi has been very attentive and caring towards me. He is really outstanding. He gives his all in everything he does and is also very hardworking and ambitious."

Shen Yue snorted coldly, her voice soft but clearly disdainful: "So what if you're outstanding? In this realistic society, sometimes background is the key factor that determines everything. Take Yingwu, for example. Although he is usually low-key and doesn't show his face much, the vast family resources behind him can allow many people to skip decades of hard work and easily obtain what others dream of."

Listening to this, Ma Yingwu nodded repeatedly, like a puppy that had received a bone from its master, and hurriedly echoed, "Yueyue is absolutely right. I've always wanted to share more of her burden and contribute more to the company, but the company's affairs are so complicated that I really can't spare the time. I'm busy to the point of exhaustion every day."

At that moment, Chen Dong returned with two glasses of juice.

He handed a glass to Chu Mengran gently, his eyes tender as he said, "Drink up, don't be thirsty. Try this, it should suit your taste."

Chu Mengran took the juice and sweetly said "thank you," her voice soft and sweet, her eyes full of love and sweetness, as if the juice was not an ordinary drink, but a sweet testament to their love.

Watching their sweet interaction, Shen Yue felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if a thousand tiny needles were pricking her.

She deliberately raised her voice, as if to attract everyone's attention, and said to Ma Yingwu, "Yingwu, I love that designer watch you gave me last time. It's beautifully designed and exquisitely crafted. Many people have seen it and are envious, asking me where I bought it. You have such good taste; you always manage to pick something that suits my taste."

Upon hearing this, Ma Yingwu immediately became interested, and as if he had been injected with chicken blood, he said with great enthusiasm, "As long as Yueyue likes it, I will buy you better and more expensive things in the future. My family has long-term cooperation with many luxury brands. They will inform me as soon as they have any new models. They can have any kind of product you want, as long as Yueyue asks for it."

Chen Dong glanced at Shen Yue and Ma Yingwu, and he knew exactly what Shen Yue was thinking.

He gently took Chu Mengran's hand, their fingers intertwined, and said to Shen Yue, "Shen Yue, as long as you and Mr. Ma are happy, that's all that matters. Mengran and I also cherish every moment we spend together, accompanying each other and growing together."

The event continued in full swing, with cheerful music and hearty laughter echoing throughout the hall, creating a joyful and peaceful atmosphere.

During the event, an employee suggested playing games, and everyone responded enthusiastically, wanting to add more fun to the already joyful atmosphere.

During the game, players need to work in pairs to complete certain tasks.

Chen Dong and Chu Mengran naturally formed a perfect team, their cooperation was seamless, and they could understand each other with just a glance or a gesture.

During the process of completing the mission, whenever Chu Mengran encountered difficulties, Chen Dong was always the first to lend a helping hand, his eyes full of concern and encouragement. He would either gently hold her hand to give her strength, or patiently guide her to find solutions to the problems.

They completed all tasks with ease and joy, winning rounds of applause and admiration from those around them.

However, the situation was completely different for Shen Yue and Ma Yingwu's group.

Ma Yingwu encountered numerous problems in the game, either clumsily knocking over props or reacting slowly and unable to keep up with the pace when coordination was required.

During a physically demanding task, Ma Yingwu was soon panting heavily, his face flushed, his neck thick with sweat, and his shirt soaked through, making him look utterly disheveled.

In contrast, Chen Dong handled the situation with ease, displaying agility and power, with each movement showcasing his excellent physical fitness and athletic talent.

This stark contrast fueled Shen Yue's dissatisfaction. She looked at Ma Yingwu's pathetic state and felt secretly annoyed, but she couldn't vent her anger.
