Wu Tingyan was slapped and fell to the ground, looking aggrieved.
She had initially wanted to vent her anger at Miao Yu, but what Miao Yu said afterward made her realize something was wrong. Miao Yu rarely got this angry.
This meant she had kicked an iron plate!
Wu Tingyan covered her stinging cheek, glanced at Miao Yu, and then looked at Yu Mengzhi.
Yes.
How could a woman as noble as Yu Mengzhi be involved in such a dirty job?
She must be a rich young lady from some family!
"A Yu, who is she?" Miao Yu timidly looked at Yu Mengzhi, as if seeking her approval.
Yu Mengzhi's expression was calm, without any change.
Miao Yu couldn't make up his mind and didn't dare to reveal Yu Mengzhi's background in public. Instead, he shouted at Wu Tingyan, "You're still asking?!"
Before Wu Tingyan could feel wronged, Miao Yu bowed humbly to Yu Mengzhi.
"President Yu, my girlfriend has a foul mouth. I apologize to you and your boyfriend on her behalf. Please be magnanimous and don't stoop to the level of a shrew like her."
After saying this, Miao Yu quickly winked at Wu Tingyan.
Wu Tingyan also calmed down.
Realizing that Yu Mengzhi, who could make Miao Yu bow his head, must have a formidable background, she could only get up from the ground and apologize to Yu Mengzhi.
Chen Jinzhao's expression softened slightly.
However, Yu Mengzhi did not intend to let Wu Tingyan off the hook. She pointed to Chen Jinzhao beside her and said, "Also, apologize to him."
Wu Tingyan felt extremely stifled.
She had thought she would be able to vent her anger today, but in the end, she had to bow to Chen Jinzhao.
Miao Yu, fearing that Wu Tingyan would continue to throw a tantrum, took the lead in apologizing to Chen Jinzhao, setting an example for Wu Tingyan.
Wu Tingyan bit her lip and reluctantly apologized to Chen Jinzhao.
"Jinzhao, what do you think?" Yu Mengzhi asked with a smile.
If Chen Jinzhao was not satisfied, they would continue.
Chen Jinzhao said in a low voice, "If you think it's okay, then it's fine."
The implication was that he had no objections.
Yu Mengzhi nodded with a smile, "Alright, let's leave it at that today, so as not to clutter our minds."
The two turned and left.
Wu Tingyan stared intently at Chen Jinzhao's retreating back, then turned to Miao Yu, hoping for an explanation.
Miao Yu pulled his girlfriend away in the opposite direction. It wasn't until they entered the elevator that he breathed a sigh of relief. "Tingyan, if possible in the future, you'd better interact more with this classmate of yours. It will be very beneficial for our family."
"Miao Yu, is that woman very powerful?" Wu Tingyan gritted her teeth, still unconvinced.
Miao Yu gave a wry smile. "She is Yu Mengzhi, the CEO of Gou Chen Group. Of course, you might not know these names. You just need to know that she is from the Yu family in Jiangnan."
Wu Tingyan's eyes widened, and she almost stopped breathing.
The Yu family of Jiangnan—
This was one of the top three families in Jiangnan!
Miao Yu often discussed these hidden matters with her, so Wu Tingyan had some understanding of these noble clans.
The Yu family controlled a vast business empire. The assets visible to the public alone amounted to hundreds of billions, not to mention certain undisclosed industries. Gou Chen Pharmaceuticals, with a market value of billions, was just a small part of the Yu family's business empire.
It could be said that the Yu family of Jiangnan greatly influenced the economic lifeline of Jiangnan Province and was an undisputed powerful family!
"Is Yu Mengzhi powerful then..." Wu Tingyan felt a pang of jealousy.
Miao Yu chuckled wryly. "If she didn't have real strength, how could the Yu family entrust her with such an important position as the CEO of the pharmaceutical group? This position is equivalent to a governor in the Yu family's business empire. Given that the Yu family has many male heirs, for Yu Mengzhi to stand out among them shows her extraordinary abilities."
Wu Tingyan immediately lost her temper.
The thought that she had just offended Yu Mengzhi made her heart tremble.
And that Chen Jinzhao...
He had really stepped in dog shit to have managed to latch onto a wealthy young lady like Yu Mengzhi.
Wu Tingyan complained a few times in the elevator, but Miao Yu immediately told her to shut up. However, Miao Yu also said with some bewilderment, "Speaking of which, when did President Yu get a boyfriend?"
"And he's a small security guard?"
At that time.
Yu Mengzhi and Chen Jinzhao arrived at the underground parking lot.
Chen Jinzhao said, "President Yu, thank you."
"Thank me? There's nothing to thank me for. I just did it incidentally. Remember, if anyone bullies you in the future, you fight back."
Yu Mengzhi didn't understand why Chen Jinzhao, who clearly wasn't a coward at heart, was so tolerant. After thinking for a moment, she added, "You are my person. Don't embarrass me when we're out."
Chen Jinzhao was stunned and agreed.
Yu Mengzhi suddenly asked a question out of the blue, "Nian Qing, is she your first girlfriend? I heard she's a professor at Ninghai University. Do you still have feelings for her?"
"Why are you asking about this, President Yu?" Chen Jinzhao's expression became uneasy.
Actually, Wu Tingyan had misunderstood something.
Chen Jinzhao was the one who was abandoned first, and then he joined the army in his second year of university. The order of events was reversed.
Perhaps.
This was Xu Nianqing's narrative to the outside world, and Chen Jinzhao was too lazy to correct it.
How much he liked Xu Nianqing back then was matched by how reluctant he was to let go later. Even in his dreams, she appeared until recently.
If he didn't truly like her, who would be willing to be a simping dog?
Seeing the lingering affection on Chen Jinzhao's face, Yu Mengzhi felt a little uncomfortable.
"Forget it!"
"I'm not interested in whether you have feelings for her or not."
Chen Jinzhao suddenly snapped back to attention, wondering why this woman had suddenly changed her mood. He hadn't provoked her.
"Get in the car, I'll give you a ride," Yu Mengzhi said.
Chen Jinzhao didn't stand on ceremony. He hadn't ridden in a luxury car worth millions in his twenty-odd years. As soon as he pulled open the car door, Chen Jinzhao paused and glanced at the rear of the car.
"What's wrong?" Yu Mengzhi sensed something was amiss.
A figure walked out from behind the sedan. It was a lean, wiry man.
His narrow eyes constantly flickered with ferocity.
Chen Jinzhao didn't know if this man was after him or Yu Mengzhi, but he was clearly up to no good.
Yu Mengzhi also saw the lean man. She got out of the car and stood beside Chen Jinzhao.
Besides him.
Four men in suits also got out of a business van not far away—
They were bodyguards arranged by the Yu family to protect Yu Mengzhi's personal safety.
However, Chen Jinzhao hadn't noticed any bodyguards around Yu Mengzhi before. He guessed that after returning home last night, Yu Mengzhi, fearing she would be plotted against by Su Jinghui again, had asked her family to arrange for them.
The four bodyguards rushed over and surrounded the lean man who had suddenly appeared.
The lean man glanced at the four bodyguards with obvious disdain and spoke directly to Yu Mengzhi, "Miss Yu, please have these bodyguards step aside. I will be responsible for your personal safety from now on."
"Who sent you?" Yu Mengzhi's delicate brows furrowed.
"Young Master Qin Fengwu from the Qin family in Shangjing. In other words, Miss Yu's future husband."
