When Yuan Meng saw clearly who was rushing over, her heart skipped a beat. She wanted to stop the person, but it was already too late.
When Ling Qianchen saw who it was, his mood was even more complicated than Yuan Meng's.
He had never expected that his previous speculations were actually true!
Yan Ke'er was still immersed in her own fantasies and anger. Even after she rushed over, she didn't recognize Ling Qianchen, who was glaring at her with a gloomy face, right away.
"Get out of here quickly! Do you believe that I'll call the..."
Before she could say the word "police", Yan Ke'er's eyes widened in shock.
Oh no... This is such an embarrassing situation!
"Miss Yan, what are you doing here?"
Although it was just a simple question, those who were familiar with Ling Qianchen's temper could already detect the anger hidden in his words.
Yan Ke'er was stunned.
How could she explain why she was here!
"Hi, Mr. Ling. What a coincidence..."
"Coincidence?" Ling Qianchen sneered. "Are you sure?"
Of course, Yan Ke'er couldn't retort with "I'm sure". So, under the great pressure, she took a brave step.
However, this step was in the opposite direction.
Yes, she chickened out and ran away, leaving Yuan Meng equally speechless and helpless.
"Yueyue, how did you get to know Miss Yan?"
Some answers were about to surface, but he wished that it was just his wild speculation!
However, there was no such thing as a coincidence in the world. Moreover, Yan Ke'er was really here, and what she had shouted...
Mengmeng!
Mengmeng was Yuan Meng! So, was Ai Yue actually Yuan Meng herself!?
Although things had gone wrong, Yuan Meng still held a glimmer of hope. After all, Ling Qianchen had no concrete evidence to prove that she was Yuan Meng.
"Friendships between girls are easy to build. Besides, Ke'er is so cute. Who wouldn't want to be friends with her?"
Although he knew it was just a perfunctory answer, Ling Qianchen still couldn't bear to say anything harsh.
Among the people present, only Jake was out of the loop.
So, what were they talking about in code?
Was it strange that Mengmeng and Miss Yan Ke'er knew each other?
Recalling some details he had overlooked, Ling Qianchen's mood became even more complicated.
If Ai Yue and Yuan Meng were really the same person, how should he deal with this relationship?
"Yueyue, you're not lying to me, are you?"
He was starting to feel unsure.
Yuan Meng frowned impatiently. "Am I that bored? Well, everyone is tired. Let's go back and rest early."
After giving another perfunctory answer, this time, she didn't give Ling Qianchen a chance to react. She just turned around and left.
Seeing that she was about to enter the hotel, Ling Qianchen's pupils constricted, and his tone was a bit out of control.
"Yueyue, wait!"
Jake didn't understand the situation, but as a man, he clearly noticed that Ling Qianchen's expression was very strange. Just as Ling Qianchen was about to grab Yuan Meng's arm, he reached out and blocked him.
"Mr. Ling, it's very late. Meng is a girl."
This might sound a bit inexplicable, but Ling Qianchen understood the meaning behind it.
Jake meant that he shouldn't pester her and ruin Yuan Meng's reputation!
If it had been before, he might have been able to stay calm and consider these things. But for some reason, when he saw Yuan Meng's back getting farther and farther away, his heart was filled with an unprecedented sense of panic.
It was as if he and Yuan Meng would never have a chance.
No, it couldn't be like this. He wouldn't allow it!
"Get out of the way."
Ling Qianchen's tone became more forceful, but it didn't mean that Jake would be scared.
Because he was never a pushover. His gentle and gentlemanly demeanor was only shown when he was with Yuan Meng.
"I'll say it one more time. Get out of the way."
Jake showed a provocative smile. "Oh, I'm so scared, but I'm not going to move!"
"You!"
"Mr. Ling, I advise you to calm down. After all, you're a well - known figure."
Whether it was this advice that worked or he knew that he wouldn't get the answer he wanted today, Ling Qianchen fell silent.
Ling Qianchen stared at Jake, and Jake stared back fearlessly. In the end, Ling Qianchen got in his car with a gloomy face and left.
After the car disappeared, Jake whistled victoriously and walked into the hotel proudly.
After getting in the car, Ling Qianchen drove away from the hotel at full speed. He let the cold wind blow in, trying to calm himself down.
Recalling some of Ai Yue's unconscious little actions and her taste during this period, they were exactly the same as Yuan Meng's. But...
Were they really not the same person?
The more he thought about it, the stranger it seemed. Ling Qianchen took out his phone, found Yuan Meng's account, and opened her Moments.
Yuan Meng had just updated her Moments with a few photos of her standing on the beach in the sunshine.
Both the time and the location were completely different from here. So, was it possible that Ai Yue wasn't Yuan Meng?
If they weren't the same person, how could Yan Ke'er's appearance here be explained?
One doubt after another and speculation after speculation made Ling Qianchen almost lose his temper several times. Finally, an idea flashed through his mind.
Right, there was another person who knew the truth between him and Yuan Meng, and that was Chai Yanyu!
Thinking of this, regardless of the long - distance call, Ling Qianchen followed his heart and called Chai Yanyu in China.
In China, in a bar.
Chai Yanyu, who was drinking with a group of his friends, sobered up a bit when he received a call from his cousin.
Strange. Why would his cousin call him at this time?
Although he was confused, Chai Yanyu, who had always been afraid of Ling Qianchen, still found a quiet place and obediently answered the call.
"Cousin?"
"Is Yuan Meng the same person as Ai Yue?"
As soon as the call was connected, Ling Qianchen got straight to the point and asked his speculation. When Chai Yanyu heard this question, he was directly stunned.
So, the truth was finally revealed?
This silence was undoubtedly the best answer.
"Speak."
Knowing that he couldn't hide it anymore and not wanting to wait until Ling Qianchen found out the truth and then punished him, Chai Yanyu made up his mind.
"Okay, I'll tell you, but cousin, you mustn't give me away!"
"Stop talking nonsense. Just speak!"
Under Ling Qianchen's intimidation, Chai Yanyu finally told the whole truth, including how he was forced to become an accomplice and hide the truth.
What Chai Yanyu didn't know was that although he had said a lot, the main points Ling Qianchen summarized were just his annoyance at almost missing Yuan Meng again and his regret for easily agreeing to the divorce.
It turned out that the person he had been longing for all this time was actually the same person!
After telling the whole truth, afraid of being held accountable, Chai Yanyu timidly hung up the phone and quickly turned it off.
Ling Qianchen, who was filled with regret and shock, didn't have the extra energy to care about anything else.
He was thinking about how he could win back the person he had been longing for.
This night was destined to be a sleepless one.
Although the finals were over, before they left, the organizer had discussed with the executives of various companies and decided to hold a friendly match for the contestants.
The management of the companies had no objections, and Ling Qianchen, who wanted to take this opportunity to test Yuan Meng, had no reason to refuse.
Although he had learned the truth, he still decided to suppress his emotions so as not to scare her away.
However, it was not easy to hide his attitude before and after learning the truth.
