Early in the morning, Jiang Ruoqing was woken up by the sound of her phone ringing. She squinted her eyes and picked up the phone to answer the call, "Hello?"

"It's me, Zhang Ran went to pick you up, the dress is in the wardrobe."

"What?" Jiang Ruoqing's entire person was in a daze, she did not know what else he should say, or what attire she should wear.

"Let's go participate in Young Master Lin's engagement ceremony."

Clang! The phone fell to the ground, her little face turned pale white. Engagement ceremony, Lin Wenhao.

Sitting up, he felt as if his body had been crushed. He lazily wrapped himself in a blanket and walked into the bathroom.

The woman in front of the mirror had a haggard face and messy hair. The teeth marks on her neck were especially obvious.

Last night was simply too intense, causing her to be completely unwilling to think back. She could feel that Cheng Yichen was deliberately torturing her with hatred.

She discovered that she really couldn't understand his personality. He had completely turned the tables as quickly as flipping a book, and she was unable to deal with him.

After taking a shower, he found the dress he was talking about. It was a blue one with a long tail that reached up to his ankles.

However, where the dress couldn't cover her neck, the bruises on her neck were very obvious. She really didn't want anyone to see it.

She tied up her hair, put on some makeup, and gave off a fresh and elegant vibe. She looked around and noticed that there was a pink scarf tied around her neck. Surprisingly, there was nothing out of the ordinary about it.

As expected, when Zhang Ran opened the door, he was already waiting at the door. When he saw Jiang Ruoqing, his eyes lit up and he could not help but sigh to himself.

"You've been waiting for a long time, right? Let's go. " Jiang Ruoqing's tone was very calm, and every step she took, she felt more pain.

Cheng Yichen was still dressed in his suit and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face.

Jiang Ruoqing sat beside him and undid the buttons on her shoes.

Halfway through the carriage, Cheng Yichen put down the notebook. His deep black eyes sized her up with satisfaction, but Jiang Ruoqing seemed to be sulking and didn't even raise his eyes.

"Hot milk, for a drink?"

Jiang Ruoqing slightly raised her eyelids, and his stomach gave out a disrespectful grunt. She had exhausted all of her energy last night, and she hadn't had time to eat this morning either, so the moment she saw the milk, his stomach cried out honestly.

"Drink, we still have twenty minutes to reach our destination."

Jiang Ruoqing did not hold back and took it from him. She was not the type of woman who would let her appetite get wronged from anger.

"What's a scarf around your neck? Isn't it hot?" Cheng Yichen asked meaningfully, but the smile in his eyes did not hide anything.

He actually had the nerve to ask? Wasn't it all his fault? She stared at him coldly, "I like it, is that not okay?"

"It's pretty pretty, but it can't be covered up." His finger coldly cut across her collarbone, lightly touching the bruise marks on her collarbone. "It's good to be half covered."

Good my ass! She really had no choice. At least it was better than exposing everything. She really hated this damned man!

"Zhang Ran, you have been by his side for so many years, can you bear with his temper?" Jiang Ruoqing was too lazy to talk to him, she decided to change the topic and chat with Zhang Ran.

"Eh, aside from boss having a bad temper and being too strict with his work, he speaks too craftily and is pretty good."

Jiang Ruoqing burst out in laughter. Was Zhang Ran praising him or detailing his flaws? However, her explanation was quite comprehensive, it seemed like she really understood him a lot.

"Zhang Ran, do you want next month's annual leave?" Cheng Yichen asked coldly.

The smile on Zhang Ran's face froze, and he pleaded, "Boss, please don't, please don't! My girlfriend had been looking forward to seeing me on my annual leave for a while, and furthermore, it was sister-in-law who asked that question just now, how could I dare to not tell the truth?"

"Hey, Zhang Ran, it's not good to be too honest, I was just casually asking." Jiang Ruoqing suppressed her laughter and kept herself clean.

Zhang Ran said gloomily with a crying face, "Don't play with me, I know I was wrong."

In a five star hotel, Cheng Yichen's appearance was like a splash on the calm surface of the lake.

After all, what happened five years ago was simply too chaotic. Almost everyone knew about it, and also knew about the grudge between Cheng Yichen and the Jin Jia.

Jiang Ruoqing walked very slowly but she could still feel the sharp gazes of others, as if they wanted to see through her.

His feet hurt, so he held his arm and walked slowly, just like on the day of the wedding. It was just that they were not the main characters today.

"Little Qing, it's really you." Lin Wenhao's mother excitedly called out her name, and tightly grasped her hand, "When I heard your Uncle Lin say that he had seen you the other day, I didn't believe it at all.

"Aunt Lin, long time no see." Jiang Ruoqing said in a slightly distant tone.

Although the Aunt Lin had been very good to her half a year ago, she hadn't forgotten that this was Lin Wenhao's engagement ceremony.

"That's right, I haven't seen you for half a year, I didn't think that you would come, this is you," Aunt Lin rarely went out, so she did not recognize Cheng Yichen, but seeing that Cheng Yichen had an extraordinary bearing and good looks, she could only guess at the bottom of her heart.

"I am the husband of Little Qing, my name is Cheng Yichen." He spoke indifferently. His attitude was neither too close nor too appropriate.

Aunt Lin's face was immediately filled with surprise, "Little Qing, you are already married, it's good, it's good."

Jiang Ruoqing's heart was in great pain, she had only spoken a few words with Aunt Lin before leaving. The venue was huge, and in the middle of the stage, there was a huge picture of Lin Wenhao and Jin Waner.

Both of them had a blissful smile on their faces. They were the perfect couple in the eyes of the crowd. Both of them were relatives of the businessmen, so wasn't their marriage supposed to be a family?

"Lawyer Cheng, you came too. I still haven't personally thanked you for the previous case."

"Everyone has said that the Lawyer Cheng is very talkative and is very famous in the legal community. It's not a lie."

When the group of men surrounded Cheng Yichen, she instead felt that he had nothing to do and pointed to the place where the pastries were placed, indicating that he should go and get a piece of the pastries.

"You're not allowed to drink alcohol."

She made an 'ok' gesture with her hand, and walked towards the table.

However, she did not listen. Instead, she took a glass of champagne and sat down in a quiet corner.

She did not like this kind of occasion. It was too lively and everyone was flattering him. Everyone was lying and trying to curry favor with her, so she felt very annoyed about the gathering.

However, today was a different occasion, the day of Lin Wenhao's engagement ceremony. It was as if his heart was stuffed with a large mouthful of cotton, and even breathing became difficult.

He carefully undid the buttons on his shoes. The bottom of his feet was worn out and blood was seeping out from the blisters on his feet. His fingers were connected to his heart. It was truly painful.

At this moment, a figure walked over and sat beside her.

Jiang Ruoqing slightly raised her head and saw a rather good-looking woman, but she was sure that she didn't recognize her, so why was there hatred on her face? As if he hated her.

Since he didn't know the other party, he decided to just ignore him. Looking down at the bubbles on his feet, he felt depressed.

"Jiang Ruoqing! You shameless woman! "

A curse full of hostility came out of the woman's mouth. She raised her head and looked at her in surprise, easily seeing the hatred in her eyes.

"You know me?"

Although she felt that this woman looked familiar, she had forgotten where she had seen her before. She really did not know when she had offended someone.

"Hmph, you don't recognize me anymore? Do you know how badly you've done my family in? " The woman gave a cold snort. Her expression was ferocious.

Jiang Ruoqing's expression was also not very good, her tone was low and deep, "Who exactly are you?"

"I was at the Jiang family the day before yesterday!" She spoke coldly, "Those of us who went to the Jiang family that day all our businesses would go bankrupt. I know you must be angry at us for doing this, right?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Don't know?" Our families are all about to be killed by you, and you still pretend not to know? Didn't you hate us for not saving you? Now that we know that we were wrong, you should let us go. " The woman said hoarsely.

Her voice was loud, and very soon, it attracted the attention of the people around, causing Jiang Ruoqing to be unable to wipe away her face, "Today is someone else's engagement ceremony, so do you think these things are interesting? Besides, I really don't know what you're talking about. "

Just as he was about to fall to the ground, he was pulled into his arms by someone else. "Are you sick?"

A familiar man's voice sounded. She raised her head to Chu Ze's face in astonishment, "It's you?"

Chu Ze was wearing a blue suit and had combed his hair meticulously. If not for his blue eyes, Jiang Ruoqing would not have recognized him.

"Yes, it's me. Security, come here and kick this crazy woman out." Chu Ze casually waved for the security guards to come over, and then took the opportunity to push her down onto the chair.

"How can you wear shoes like that?" He squatted down in front of her and took off his shoes. Unsurprisingly, he saw that her feet were bleeding from being stuck.

Jiang Ruoqing was a little embarrassed. After all, everyone who came and went were human, and no one could explain themselves when they saw it. They all reached out to pull his clothes and said softly, "Get up, others are watching."

"If they like to look then so be it. Let me look at your feet. You can't wear high heels like this anymore."

"It'll be fine if you only wear it for a moment. Get up, or I'll kick you." Jiang Ruoqing scolded softly with a flushed face.

"I'm really fine, it's strange for you to be squatting in front of me like this."

Chu Ze scratched his head and asked, "Is it that strange? Oh yeah, why did that woman push you? "

"I don't know, because my family went bankrupt? How could I possibly have that ability? Maybe I'm a madman. " Jiang Ruoqing shook her head, not really believing the woman's words.

After saying that, she looked at Chu Ze strangely, and immediately asked: "Speaking of which, why are you here?"

"Huh?" Chu Ze was startled, he then sat at the seat beside her, "Today is my sister's engagement ceremony, of course I will be there."
