As a former campus belle of the traditional Chinese medicine college and now a beauty in the hospital, with the powerful Lin family's medical group behind her, Lin Jingjing had never had such a hard time getting a man to ask her out!
But the harder it was to get something, the more she wanted it.
Finally, her eyes lit up, and she came up with a brilliant idea.
Now, Lin Jingjing directly called Su Mingyue: "Mingyue, it's been several years since we graduated from medical school, and we haven't had many gatherings. This time, I'm hosting at Binghai Restaurant. You must come."
Su Mingyue wasn't a fool. As soon as she hung up the phone, she found Qin Yexuan.
"Brother-in-law, Lin Jingjing seems interested in you. Should I ask if you want to talk to her..."
Qin Yexuan was stunned: "Mingyue, you're overthinking it. I have no such intentions."
Su Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief: "She invited me to a class reunion, which actually means she wants me to bring you. I just refused."
Qin Yexuan put down the paper napkin and picked up the plate, washing dishes as he smiled, "You decide what's best."
But Lin Jingjing's calls were incessant, bordering on harassment. She called Su Mingyue more than a dozen times a day.
"This is crazy!"
Su Mingyue thought about the approaching end of the holiday. She'd have to see Lin Jingjing at the hospital every day after that, so she reluctantly agreed.
However, she had no intention of bringing her brother-in-law.
Dressed up a bit, carrying the gray bag Qin Yexuan had given her, Su Mingyue arrived at Binghai Restaurant.
Her former medical school classmates were all there.
Lin Jingjing, in a stunning red dress, looked at Su Mingyue's back with anticipation.
Su Mingyue sighed: "I'm sorry, Sister Jingjing, I came alone."
"Ah!"
Lin Jingjing couldn't hide her disappointment.
Su Mingyue seized the opportunity: "My brother-in-law is a devoted person. Ever since my elder sister passed away, he came to Jiangcheng to take care of us and has never dated anyone. You should give up."
Lin Jingjing's eyes dimmed: "You don't know how hard it is to find a suitable man. I'm not saying it's love at first sight, but I genuinely have feelings for Qin Yexuan."
As they spoke, classmates curiously approached: "What are you two talking about?"
Lin Jingjing waved her hand and sat down, looking a bit dazed.
Su Mingyue felt a pang of sympathy and added: "How about I go back and ask my brother-in-law's opinion?"
Lin Jingjing was overjoyed: "That would be wonderful."
A few classmates overheard and said: "No way, Mingyue, are you going to introduce your brother-in-law to our Miss Lin? Is that appropriate?"
Su Mingyue explained helplessly: "My brother-in-law has been single for a long time. My elder sister passed away several years ago. Is there a problem with that?"
At this moment, with a bang, a handsome man stood up: "I don't think it's appropriate. Jingjing is the heir to the Lin family. Her family background and status are not something an ordinary person can match, let alone a man whose wife has died!"
Su Mingyue's brow furrowed: "Zhuang Yuhui, what do you mean?"
The classmates, seeing the awkward situation, quickly tried to ease the tension and invited Mingyue to sit down.
Zhuang Yuhui was once the prince charming among the female students at the medical school. Now, he was also successful in his career. He had pursued Lin Jingjing for years back then and got nothing.
Now that he had achieved success, he was thinking of rekindling their romance at this reunion. Who would have thought he'd see Lin Jingjing interested in another man right off the bat?
Fueled by jealousy and anger, Zhuang Yuhui stared at Su Mingyue, gritting his teeth.
Meanwhile, Lin Jingjing, who was hosting the event, was like any girl smitten with love, unable to stop talking about Qin Yexuan.
"Mingyue's brother-in-law is really stylish, and very composed, with the charm of a mature man."
Lin Jingjing, holding her red wine, her eyes shining: "I just want to get to know him. Old classmates, look at me, I'm getting old and will soon become a leftover woman."
She drank her wine, a blush spreading across her face, making her even more alluring.
Zhuang Yuhui's eyes were glued to her.
Then Lin Jingjing sighed: "I've sent Qin Yexuan over ten text messages, and he hasn't replied. Mingyue, your brother-in-law is really heartless."
Not only was she beautiful, but she also came from a wealthy family. How could such a stunning young lady be unwanted by any man?
The male classmates present secretly cursed Qin Yexuan, thinking he was out of his mind. With Lin Jingjing making such an advance, why wouldn't he come? If it were them, they would have pounced immediately.
Zhuang Yuhui's expression was the most unpleasant.
A classmate, seeing his awkwardness, chuckled: "Old Zhuang, I heard you jumped ship to Tianyi Conglomerate? I didn't expect you to quit being a doctor and become a senior executive."
The other classmates knew about this and looked at Zhuang Yuhui with envy: "Tianyi Conglomerate! It has just completed its reorganization and is now one of the most powerful conglomerates in Daxia."
Zhuang Yuhui's expression improved, and he proudly declared: "Of course! Undoubtedly, the number one conglomerate in the world!"
This even piqued Lin Jingjing's curiosity: "I heard the chairman of Tianyi Conglomerate, the man behind the scenes, is a very young boss?"
Zhuang Yuhui was merely a low-level official in a subsidiary of the conglomerate and had no chance to meet the top executives.
But seeing that the goddess Lin Jingjing had asked, his mind raced, and he blurted out: "I've had dinner with the conglomerate's chairman. He is indeed very young. He's a true magnate."
