An Qiuyan awkwardly withdrew her hand, staring at Jian Zhou for a while.
This face, looking so familiar, why was his attitude so cold?
Could it be the butterfly effect caused by her rebirth?
After a brief silence, An Qiuyan sighed, "Jian Zhou, you've changed so much, I almost didn't recognize you."
Hearing this, Jian Zhou was certain she was a reborn person, and couldn't help but want to laugh.
We're living this life anew together, yet we haven't interacted even once. In essence, we are two strangers who don't know each other.
How dare you say I've changed so much? And that you almost didn't recognize me.
After rebirth, you didn't even bother to find out your current situation before impulsively calling. You're pathetically stupid.
Originally, Jian Zhou couldn't understand why this woman, who lived such a happy and fulfilling life in the previous life, would be reborn.
Now he understood. Having lived a good life for too long had made her numb and her mind dull.
Jian Zhou shook his head and said, "I've always been like this. How have I changed? What are you talking about? I don't understand."
This cold and distant tone made An Qiuyan's heart ache, and her words became even more bitter.
"I know I was blind before, mistaking a pearl for a pebble, and wronging the person who treated me best in this world. Now I've learned my lesson and understand. Can you give me another chance?"
Gazing at Jian Zhou's youthful face, so fair and tender that it seemed water could be squeezed from it, An Qiuyan's eyes became hazy, her mind muddled, unable to distinguish between past and present.
She had no other thoughts at this moment, only wanting to hold onto this man.
Because in this world, he was the only one who treated her best, and only he could give her everything she wanted, including revenge on Shen Mingjue, that heartless and unrighteous dog.
"Miss An, I don't know you at all. I came to see you out of consideration for you being a public figure. Why are you saying more and more outrageous things?"
Jian Zhou's voice turned completely cold, and he looked at An Qiuyan with an utterly unfamiliar gaze, "Do I know you?"
This question, 'Do I know you?', struck An Qiuyan's forehead like a bolt of lightning.
The thunderclap instantly swept through her entire body, leaving her limbs numb and her expression frozen and blank.
"What are you saying? You, you don't know me?"
An Qiuyan pointed to herself with her finger.
"Of course. We are not related by blood or by marriage. This is our first meeting. Can that be considered knowing each other?" Jian Zhou pretended to be naive.
"At this time, you've been graduated for more than half a year. You and I clearly..."
An Qiuyan's face was full of disbelief. "No, this is impossible. You can't not know me. What went wrong?"
"You and I can be considered to not know each other, or you can consider us to know each other," Jian Zhou suddenly said.
An Qiuyan's eyes suddenly brightened, and she smiled, "I knew it. You and I know each other. You were just joking with me. You're so wicked."
Jian Zhou: "..."
Taking a deep breath, Jian Zhou said, "I know you, not because we've met before, but because I've seen you in the news many times. When you and Shen Mingjue publicly announced your relationship, almost the entire entertainment industry was in an uproar. How could I not know you?"
What he said was half true and half false. When An Qiuyan and Shen Mingjue went public, it indeed caused a sensation and trended on hot searches, but not because their popularity was so high.
It was because Jiang Ling was being heavily criticized online at the time, and An Qiuyan took a knife for Shen Mingjue. The netizens needed to use her as a positive example to contrast how much Jiang Ling was hated, which was why such great attention was drawn.
