To comfort Jiang Zeshen, Shen Youjin specially chose a Western restaurant with a great atmosphere.
Although the food was served a bit slowly, the service was excellent, which was suitable for a playboy like Jiang Zeshen who loved romance.
After ordering the dishes, the two chatted with each other, and that little unpleasantness quickly dissipated.
"Don't you wonder why I got together with you back then?" Jiang Zeshen was cutting his steak and gave her a meaningful look.
Shen Youjin shook her head. "I only need to know that you like me. As for why you like me, that's your business."
Jiang Zeshen's hand paused while cutting the steak. He had known so many women, and every one of them would make a big fuss after knowing he had a first love in his heart.
Even those like Yun Mianmian who didn't make a scene with him mostly did it for his money. He was well aware of that.
"Sure enough!" He curved his lips and half - seriously complimented, "Confident women are the most beautiful."
Shen Youjin didn't comment. She had heard some stories about Xia Linlang from Jiang Zeshen's friends.
They were highly similar in some aspects of their personalities. For example, they were both confident enough and didn't like to be controlled by others.
But she was herself and would never be a substitute for anyone. She had always believed so.
After they were full, Jiang Zeshen took out his black card and paid the bill first, not giving her any chance.
"There's no reason to let a woman pay. You owe me that meal."
"..." This man was so calculating. She could easily pay him back for a meal, but if he didn't give her a chance, he would have countless opportunities to entangle with her. She wasn't going to give him that chance. "It's now or never. You don't want it yourself."
Jiang Zeshen immediately panicked. "That won't do."
"Then another day." Shen Youjin turned to look at him. "If you rush to pay the bill again, we're even."
Jiang Zeshen knew his little scheme had been seen through and could only pretend to be helpless. "Okay, I'll listen to the little princess."
After saying that, he very actively helped her put on her coat, deliberately showing off in front of others. He was just like a peacock!
Just as the two were about to walk out, a man and a woman came towards them!
Gu Zhiyuan was wearing casual clothes. With a pair of silver - rimmed glasses on his straight nose, his delicate facial features made him look gentle and noble.
Beside him was Shen Tianzhen, the eldest daughter of the Shen family. Wearing a red spaghetti - strap dress, she was dressed very coquettishly and haughtily followed Gu Zhiyuan.
One of them was Gu Zhiyuan, the "mentor" who had wanted to send her to an old man's bed, a scheming and calculating man; the other was Shen Tianzhen, her half - sister, an arrogant and domineering woman. They were the last people Shen Youjin wanted to see!
"Hey! It's Young Master Jiang! What a coincidence!" Shen Tianzhen glanced at Shen Youjin and spoke first in a shrill voice. "You've changed your boyfriend again?"
Shen Youjin sneered. Was this woman insinuating that she was promiscuous?
She didn't say a word because she knew someone would stand up for her.
Sure enough, the next second, Jiang Zeshen had already spoken. "Miss Shen, that's not right. I'm still chasing her. She's very hard to chase. If you say so, aren't you just making it harder for me?"
Although this was said in a joking tone, it was also a silent warning to Shen Tianzhen to watch her mouth!
"Young Master Jiang is right. I said the wrong thing." Shen Tianzhen couldn't afford to offend Jiang Zeshen. She forced a smile and looked at Shen Youjin. "But you're really beautifully dressed. I remember there are only ten pieces of this dress in the world. Yours must be a fake! It really suits you!"
"Ah, no!" Shen Tianzhen covered her mouth as if suddenly realizing something. "I was wrong. It's a genuine one! I'm sorry! I just said whatever came to my mind. Don't mind!"
Shen Youjin looked at this woman who resembled her a bit. She deliberately taunted her in public. If it had been before, she would have felt embarrassed, but now she just wanted to laugh.
She glanced at Gu Zhiyuan beside Shen Tianzhen, who was looking on with amusement, and a beautiful arc curled up on her lips. "I do mind. Do you want to kneel down and apologize to me?"
Shen Tianzhen's expression changed. She was just pretending. How dare this woman!
"Are you joking with me?" She forced a smile and looked at Jiang Zeshen. "Young Master Jiang, please say something for me! I didn't mean it."
"I can't do that." Jiang Zeshen curved his lips, and his eyes looking at Shen Youjin were full of doting. "How dare I offend the little princess?"
Shen Tianzhen clenched her fingers tightly. How could even Jiang Zeshen fall for Shen Youjin!
She turned to look for help from Gu Zhiyuan, but found that Gu Zhiyuan's eyes were always on Shen Youjin and he didn't even bother to pay attention to her! Shen Youjin, that vixen! That bitch!
"Okay, we're leaving." Jiang Zeshen silently sized up Gu Zhiyuan and said with a half - smile, "Mr. Gu, your taste needs improvement."
Hearing this, Gu Zhiyuan just smiled faintly, seemingly not caring about what he said at all.
It wasn't until Jiang Zeshen and Shen Youjin left the restaurant that his eyes returned to Shen Tianzhen. The lenses of his glasses reflected two cold glares.
"You really hate your sister?" His voice was calm, but somehow it made people feel flustered.
Shen Tianzhen was stunned. "She's not my sister. Her mother was a mistress!"
"Maybe!" Gu Zhiyuan smiled, but there was no warmth in his smile. "Anyway, Miss Shen's behavior today was not very polite!"
He was always polite, but at this moment, he was very intimidating. Shen Tianzhen was both ashamed and angry.
She had fallen in love with Gu Zhiyuan at first sight at a charity dinner a long time ago, but he had taken a fancy to that bitch Shen Youjin.
Recently, she finally found an opportunity. She had spent a lot of energy and time, and even begged her father to give up a project, just to finally make this dinner appointment with him.
Although she knew that he and Shen Youjin had a past, they had already broken up.
She had thought that since he had agreed to have dinner with her, he must have some feelings for her.
Moreover, Gu Zhiyuan was well - known for his gentlemanly demeanor. How could he let his female companion be bullied?
But now it seemed that she was wrong. Shen Youjin's existence was just a bug!
While Gu Zhiyuan was in the bathroom, she took out her phone and sent a message to Shen Youjin.
"Shen Youjin, I warn you not to appear beside Gu Zhiyuan again. If there's a next time, the villa left by your mother will be in my name. Do you believe me?"
Shen Youjin's mother had no parents. She had built a company with her own hands, but unfortunately, due to various reasons, the company went bankrupt, and even the villa under her name was auctioned off. It would cost at least 50 million to buy it back.
For Shen Youjin, this was simply an astronomical figure. She didn't believe that Shen Youjin wasn't afraid!
But soon, a message popped up in the WeChat chat box, instantly making her blood boil!
