When I arrived at the alumni meeting, everyone was having a great time drinking.

In the center of the crowd, Zhou Hanzhi sat solemnly in front of a round table. The light reflected by the crystal lamp above his head sprinkled on his straight nose and eyebrows, making him look like a god made of beautiful jade, cold and upright.

There was a pretty girl sitting next to him.

His hand was casually placed behind her back, and every move he made was full of care and love.

The mouth of the truth or dare bottle happened to be aimed at the girl.

The busybody said in a flattering tone , " Choose one person of the opposite sex present to kiss for two minutes."

After hearing this, the girl lowered her head shyly and gave Zhou Hanzhi a cautious look for help, which made me feel pity for her.

Zhou Hanzhi exchanged glances with everyone and said softly , " Don't make trouble, she is timid."

He told her to stop making trouble, so naturally no one dared to embarrass her. However, out of respect for the rules of the game, Zhou Hanzhi still finished the wine in front of him.

The meaning of protecting is obvious.

The noise was so loud that no one noticed me standing in the corner.

I covered the scar on my wrist and turned around quietly.

"Sister-in-law, you just arrived too?"

Class committee member Yan Dong's question attracted everyone's attention.

sister in law.

This title, which I once took pride in, seems particularly ridiculous at this moment.

In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to me. I curled my lips and said calmly , " Long time no see."

No one responded.

The room fell into a brief silence.

It seemed as if I could hear the sound of a pin drop.

Yes, now Zhou Hanzhi seems to have found his true love, who would be willing to pay attention to me, a bootlicker who has been licking him for six years?

My appearance was indeed somewhat inappropriate.

But at this moment, the girl next to Zhou Hanzhi took the lead in breaking the deadlock , " I know you, Meng Nanxu, you were a famous goddess in our department a few years ago!"

The girl has a sweet look and a gentle tone, so it’s really hard to dislike her.

"Hello, senior sister, I'm Lin Xixi, also from the Computer Science Department," she introduced herself, then looked at Zhou Hanzhi and whispered , " Senior, why didn't you tell me that senior sister Meng would be here tonight?"

Zhou Hanzhi glanced at me indifferently, and said in a neutral voice , " She is an insignificant person, why mention her?"

It doesn't matter.

It turns out that this is how Zhou Hanzhi defined me.

But if you think about it carefully, he is right.

Otherwise, how could I not even have a chance to sit next to him openly for six years?

He never acknowledged my identity.

Not to mention blocking the wine for me.

The funny thing is that I always thought that Zhou Hanzhi, who was calm and restrained, would not drink.

The party ended and everyone went downstairs together.

Zhou Hanzhi and Lin Xixi were surrounded by the crowd in the front row.

The girl's soft voice penetrated my ears , " I told you to drink less, you see, you feel uncomfortable now, don't you?"

Zhou Hanzhi's response was a perfect one , " Because of whom?"

Lin Xixi said with red eyes , " Senior, please don't send me off. It hurts to see you."

Zhou Hanzhi didn't know what to say in response, but the girl immediately burst into laughter.

The two of them were very affectionate and acted as if no one was around. However, I, who was standing in the back row, received one sympathetic look after another.

I'm also feeling a bit depressed.

Originally, I wanted to use the alumni association tonight to make some connections in the investment circle.

Now the plan has failed and I have been made a laughing stock for the whole night.

Yandong couldn't bear it anymore and offered to take me to the subway entrance.

"Sorry, I didn't know Han Zhi would come." Yan Dong looked guilty, "He never attended such gatherings before."

Yan Dong was telling the truth, Zhou Hanzhi was indeed not on the alumni association list.

I said calmly , " It's okay, it's all in the past. I'll have to rely on the class committee for support in the future."

Yan Dong nodded , " I'll keep the project book. I'll contact you as soon as I have any news."

You see, talking about money is much easier than talking about feelings.

An hour later, I returned to the community with some hangover pills.

The elevator door opened, and a familiar tall figure came towards us. Upon closer inspection, who else could it be but Zhou Hanzhi?

He held a cigarette in his hand, with a lighter hanging in the air, and a dark blue striped tie hanging loosely around his neck. He looked a little depressed.

When he saw me, his eyes froze, his deep black eyes trembled slightly, and his thin lips were tightly pursed together.

I lowered my eyes, calmly withdrew my gaze, and reached out to press the floor button.

We didn't say anything.

Suddenly, a shadow fell, and a strong smell of alcohol suddenly enveloped me. I felt my waist tighten and I was held in Zhou Hanzhi's arms.

The man's hoarse voice fell into my ears , " Xuxu, you still care about me, right?"

When Zhou Hanzhi said this, he rubbed my neck gently, with a hint of flattery in his tone.

This is unprecedented in the past six years.

I recalled the scene where he spoke softly to Miss Lin at the party an hour ago, and I felt both amused and helpless.

Heartbroken.

The one who said she felt sorry for him was Lin Xixi.

Xuxu and Xixi have similar pronunciations.

The strong smell of alcohol told me that he had drunk too much.

I raised my head wearily and reminded , " Sorry, I'm not Miss Lin."

Zhou Hanzhi's arm around me paused for a moment.

When our eyes met, I tactfully stepped aside. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Zhou Hanzhi's stiff face.

The atmosphere was awkward for a moment.

After a "ding" sound, the elevator arrived at the floor. I walked out expressionlessly, vaguely aware of the man's ambiguous gaze.

I walked in quickly, but when the door was about to close, Zhou Hanzhi suddenly rushed in without warning and pushed me against the entrance.

The man's long legs were aggressive and strong, and in an instant, I was trapped in his space.

"Meng Nanxu, do you live here?"

Zhou Hanzhi's tone was grim, and there was a layer of chill around him.

I live in the house where we lived together two years ago.

I told the truth , " The landlord said that if you are a regular customer, you can get a 300 yuan discount every month."

Three hundred yuan! For office workers like us, we should save as much as possible.

Zhou Hanzhi was obviously not satisfied with my answer, and sneered , " Did you do it on purpose?"

I reached out and turned on the light, pointed at the renovated layout of the room, and asked , " Does it look like it?"

The minimalist style he liked has now become the Memphis style, which is completely different from the other.

Zhou Hanzhi retracted his gaze, frowned slightly, and after a two-second pause, he said , " You have to move out. I'll make up the difference."

I don’t know what Zhou Hanzhi still cares about.

Those corners where we slept and worked are long gone, and he won’t come again, right?

The next second, Zhou Hanzhi's voice cleared up my doubts , " Lin Xixi lives upstairs."

I see.

What a coincidence.

No wonder we met just now. If I'm not mistaken, he had just sent the little girl away.

He took great pains to prevent her from misunderstanding him.

"This problem is easy to solve," I glanced at the old facilities in the room and suggested , " You can find a better place for Miss Lin to live."

There is a luxurious suite near Lujiazui where one can stand at an altitude of 10,000 meters and enjoy the night lights. Zhou Hanzhi can afford it anyway.

He has never been short of money.

Zhou Hanzhi didn't listen to my advice and refused , " I don't want her to be misunderstood."

His tone was firm. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have known that Zhou Hanzhi, who was so high and mighty, could consider someone so thoroughly.

It felt like a poisonous bee stung my chest, and I felt a slight pain. I paused and said calmly , " Sorry, I don't want to move."

It is located near the university town, with low prices and a nearby subway line that goes directly to the company, which is very convenient.

But in order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, I said rationally , " Don't worry, Miss Lin and I will never have any intersection."

I won’t do that with you either.

I said silently in my heart.

"You'd better keep your word."

Zhou Hanzhi gave me a warning look and slammed the door and left.

I stood there in a daze, feeling a little choked up.

The noisy ringing of the cell phone interrupted my thoughts.

The call came from Wu Ling, my boss and good friend.

"Get ready and come with me to meet the new investors tomorrow morning."

The powerful voice of a thirty-year-old strong woman came out of the receiver, dispelling the unnecessary thoughts in my heart.

Thinking about the monthly bills, I came back to reality in a second.

However, when Wu Ling's Mercedes-Benz G500 stopped downstairs of Rongyu Capital, I became completely nervous.

Rongyu Capital, a new dark horse in the investment banking circle, was founded by Zhou Hanzhi.
