A sudden jolt went through Bai Beichen's heart. Under Gu Zhiyuan's shrewd gaze, he unexpectedly felt a bit lacking in confidence.
However, soon he looked at Shen Youjin and put on a pitiful look again, with his beautiful peach - blossom eyes slightly reddened.
"Sister... Does President Gu have something against me? Do you believe me?"
He had a sunny and handsome face. With such an expression, it was easy for people to feel compassion for him.
Shen Youjin's gaze flitted between Bai Beichen and Gu Zhiyuan. She couldn't afford to offend either of them. Just as she was about to say something to smooth things over, Gu Zhiyuan, as if seeing through her thoughts, suddenly spoke casually.
"Xiaojin, have you forgotten all the people - reading skills I taught you before?"
Shen Youjin pursed her lips. How could she forget?
It was precisely because she liked Bai Beichen like this when they were together that she had never delved deeper.
Moreover, people have many sides, and she couldn't guarantee that her attitude towards everyone would be the same.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Gu Zhiyuan already had his answer, and his expression became rather meaningful.
"Xiaojin, you'll regret it."
After saying that, he turned around and drove away directly, not even participating in the subsequent interview.
Shen Youjin stood there, gently pursing her lips. It was really strange. Why did people keep coming to remind her of this?
Seeing her like this, Bai Beichen asked carefully, "Sister... Do you believe what he said?"
"This question should be mine to ask you." Shen Youjin turned her head, with complex emotions in her clear eyes. "Bai Beichen, should I believe you?"
Bai Beichen looked into her innocent and pure eyes. For a moment, his heart felt like it had been heavily struck, and he didn't know how to answer.
Yes, he admitted that originally he just wanted to have some fun with her.
He pretended to be harmless and clingy and obedient. But as time went by, he had actually fallen in.
Now it was too late to change!
But he had a premonition that one day Shen Youjin would learn the truth.
If he told her now, there might still be a chance.
"Sister." He seemed to be a different person, with a serious expression. "I..."
However, before he could finish, a pleasant female voice suddenly drifted over from afar, interrupting what he was about to say.
"Am I late? What a pity. I missed the grand occasion of the race."
The two of them turned their heads at the same time and saw Bai Ningxi wearing a form - fitting cheongsam, holding an ivory folding fan in her hand, and chatting merrily with Li Nanchuan.
Bai Beichen's eyes instantly showed panic. Oh no, his older sister was here!
Since Bai Ningxi came back, she had been helping his older brother Bai Yueheng with the company's affairs. He hadn't even had the chance to tell her about Shen Youjin in detail.
If something slipped out of her mouth, then it would really be over between him and Shen Youjin!
After all, there was a big difference between confessing on one's own and being reported by someone else!
"Sister, I have something to do. I'll go over there."
Bai Beichen didn't even care about the injury on his arm anymore. All of a sudden, he felt no pain anywhere. He quickly walked through the crowd and came in front of Bai Ningxi, forcefully pulling his older sister away.
Bai Ningxi had never seen her younger brother like this before. When she turned her head, she happened to see Shen Youjin standing not far away.
For some reason, she felt that her younger brother's behavior was related to Shen Youjin.
Across the crowd, Shen Youjin and Li Nanchuan glanced at each other. Just this one glance seemed to have spanned thousands of mountains and rivers.
She was very happy that Li Nanchuan came to participate in the race. She thought he came for her.
But when Bai Ningxi appeared, she suddenly felt that she had been self - indulgent.
Men like to show off in front of the women they love, and clearly that woman was no longer her.
However, soon she smiled. Anyway, the investment had quadrupled on the basis of the original double, and she was very happy.
"What are you looking at?" As if on cue, Jiang Zeshen appeared beside her out of nowhere, bringing her attention back. "I'm not going to have a new rival, am I?"
He looked at Shen Youjin. He didn't ask her why she could race, after all, everyone had their own past.
He just felt that this kind of contrast was very impactful. The usually delicate beauty had instantly turned into a valiant female knight, which made him even more reluctant to let go.
"Not for the time being." Shen Youjin came back to her senses and directly asked, "When will the four million be credited to the account?"
Jiang Zeshen raised his eyebrows, took out his phone, and directly transferred the money to her.
"It's from my personal account. It doesn't matter if it's lost."
Shen Youjin rolled her eyes in her heart. This man really didn't know how to talk.
She hadn't even opened her business yet, and he was talking about losses. How inauspicious!
"Don't worry. I'll definitely let you get your dividends by the end of the year." She looked at him. "I'll write you a receipt later."
Jiang Zeshen didn't comment. He didn't expect her to be so serious about this.
In fact, rather than her success, he hoped that she could be obediently taken care of by him.
But since she wanted to play, these four million could be just for her to have some fun.
Not only would she owe him a favor, but after she got tired of playing, she would come back to him.
"Are you hungry?" Jiang Zeshen smiled indulgently. "Let me take you to eat something delicious?"
Shen Youjin glanced at the time and was just about to decline when Fu Qingye's voice rang out unexpectedly.
"She won't go." Shen Youjin turned her head and saw Fu Qingye striding over with his long legs. His slender arm forcefully pulled her into his arms. "She's going to have dinner with me."
Shen Youjin's ear happened to be close to his chest, and she could even hear Fu Qingye's heartbeat.
But soon she broke free from Fu Qingye's embrace, with a look of displeasure flashing across her face. "Fu Qingye, just talk. Don't get physical."
This damn man. They had already broken up, but why was he still the same as before?
"Then you choose for yourself!" Hearing her words, Fu Qingye unexpectedly didn't mind. He provocatively looked at Jiang Zeshen. "Are you going with him or with me?"
After saying that, Fu Qingye suddenly leaned down slightly and said something to Shen Youjin. Shen Youjin, who was about to give an answer, instantly stiffened her back.
"Are you serious?" Her expression became serious. "Fu Qingye, you can't joke about this."
Fu Qingye raised his eyebrows, as confident as ever. "When have I ever lied to you?"
Jiang Zeshen, standing aside, watched this scene with his eyebrows knitted into a frown. "Fu Qingye, are you threatening her?"
Fu Qingye didn't answer and just ignored him. Jiang Zeshen looked at Shen Youjin, and for the first time, he felt a bit uneasy.
Shen Youjin was silent for a few seconds. Finally, she apologized to Jiang Zeshen. "I'm sorry. I have something to deal with today. You have a good time."
Jiang Zeshen's face darkened completely. He made a "do as you please" gesture to her and then walked away without looking back. It seemed that he was really angry.
Shen Youjin pursed her lips but didn't say anything more. She turned around and got into Fu Qingye's car and drove away.
She had something she had to do and could only explain it to Jiang Zeshen when she had the chance.
"Look, doesn't she have a heart?" Jiang Zeshen walked up to Li Nanchuan, took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff. "I just invested four million in her, and she turned around and left with someone else."
There was a bit of a provocative and cathartic meaning in his words. Li Nanchuan didn't say a word. It seemed that this was not enough to stir any emotions in him.
"This bracelet was given to you by her, right?" Jiang Zeshen looked at the edge of the black crystal bracelet faintly showing on his wrist and started to make up a story, 70% true and 30% false. "I saw it at her home. She bought it from a live - streaming room on Taobao. Do you know why she gave it to you? Because I said that as long as I lost, I would give her double the investment!"
Li Nanchuan was shocked. The expression on his handsome face finally changed. His thin lips moved...
