"What's the relationship between this Liang Mu you mentioned and Jin Yan?" she asked, putting down her phone.
Chen Ziming remained silent, not replying immediately.
Was this topic also sensitive? Couldn't be discussed?
Su Yue quickly explained, "I'm just asking casually. If it's inconvenient to talk about, we don't have to."
She wasn't a gossip. It was just Jin Yan's overly strong reaction to Liang Mu's name that had piqued her curiosity.
Come to think of it, this was his friend, and it really wasn't good to talk about him like this behind his back.
"Liang Mu is his fiancée," he suddenly said.
Fiancée?
She had only thought she was his girlfriend.
Combining what she had heard before, Liang Mu was likely the daughter-in-law his mother had chosen, and since Jin Yan didn't dare to defy his mother, he reluctantly accepted her.
Her good impression of Jin Yan dropped by many levels instantly.
Either be brave and pursue the one you love, casting aside all family pressures;
Or, treat the girl properly.
To give the girl a cold shoulder and even hang up her phone directly was truly detestable.
Why was Chen Ziming such good friends with such a person?
Last time, they were talking about how his mother didn't interfere with his life. If she did, would he also live a life of internal conflict like Jin Yan?
Seeing that she had stopped talking but had a displeased expression on her face, he seemed to guess what she was thinking.
"You're worried I'll be like that too?" he asked, moving a little closer.
She really couldn't hide anything from him.
Actually, what was she worried about? She increasingly felt he was extraordinary, especially his family background.
She really didn't dare to believe she could be accepted by his family and end up with him. He said his family didn't interfere, likely just because they weren't in a hurry.
Anyway, she hadn't approached him with that intention in the first place, so why should she care if he would be like Jin Yan?
Being able to linger with him like this was already very good.
"No, I trust Officer Chen one hundred percent," she replied, smiling with eyes curved like crescent moons, looking at him innocently.
It was obvious she was trying to cover up.
But Chen Ziming didn't expose her.
Instead, he smiled, took her hand tightly in his palm, and said, "I will definitely not let my darling down."
Ren Siyuan returned quickly and strode up to the two of them, saying in a low voice, "Liang Mu has arrived."
"Let's go." Chen Ziming pulled Su Yue up.
"Wait a moment," Ren Siyuan stopped him.
Su Yue looked at him in confusion.
"Jin Yan was too much, making the girl walk all the way here. I couldn't stand it and just told the driver to take her to her room to rest," he said, a hint of anger showing on his face.
Walk all the way here??
The distance from here to the hotel entrance would take nearly ten minutes to drive.
And he made the girl walk?
Not to mention the fatigue, the sun was scorching hot right now. Walking such a long distance, what if she got heatstroke?
This was too much!
Su Yue instantly lost any desire to have fun here, let alone have dinner with Jin Yan.
But out of consideration for Ren Siyuan being there, she didn't speak.
She waited for the reaction of the man beside her.
As expected, Chen Ziming also frowned.
"Yue Yue, you go back and wait for me. I'll go find Jin Yan," he said, his voice a bit cold.
She had the same intention, so she found the driver who had been waiting nearby and asked to return to the villa.
After entering the house, she sat directly on the sofa, frowning in thought.
Jin Yan was quite a typical young master she had met.
And the one she despised the most…
Her phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and saw it was Ji Chan.
"Why did you go ahead without me?" Ji Chan's unhappy voice sounded over the phone after it was connected.
It turned out that after Su Yue took some photos, she wanted to post them on her account. However, considering that she and Ji Chan would be doing formal promotional photoshoots later, she sent Ji Chan a few pictures first and also sent her a location.
Then she asked if Ji Chan could post them herself as a teaser.
"I came with a friend. I only realized it was this hotel we're collaborating with after arriving," she said, carefully appeasing her.
"With which friend?" Ji Chan surprisingly first cared about this: "Boyfriend?"
There was no point in lying to her like this, so she admitted it.
"Do you have any photos? Send them to me?" The voice on the other end of the phone, surprisingly, held a hint of excitement.
Su Yue: …
