CH 3.2

Name:My Groom Ran Away Author:
The reason why he didn’t like Ruan ZhiYin was not only because of Lin JingFei. There was also Lin JingFei’s cousin, Lin Zhe.

Lin Zhe had chased Ruan ZhiYin during high school, but later on, he didn’t know why, but he had become very scared of her. Furthermore, when Ruan ZhiYin returned from abroad, the first thing she did was to chase Lin Zhe out of Ruan Company without any mercy. He felt that the meek and ladylike image in front of Qin Jue was just an act.

He, Qin Jue, and Lin JingFei had grown up together. They were the definition of childhood friends.

Before Qin Jue went abroad, he and Lin JingFei had broken up. Before a year had passed, however, he was together with Ruan ZhiYin. It was also Qin Jue who decided to actively pursue her and Jiang AnZheng felt that this was a bit dubious.

Everyone knew that Qin Jue had gone abroad because he and Lin JingFei had broken up. Jiang AnZheng had also hoped that the two of them would be able to get back together. But later on, when Qin Jue told him that he was dating Ruan ZhiYin, he felt a bit angry.

It was not uncommon for there to be not much love or affection in the circles of the rich, but Lin JingFei was different from those women. Qin Jue also did not like to play around with women and had kept himself very clean. Since he loved Lin JingFei so deeply, why did he turn around and get together with someone else?

Even though Qin Jue said it was him who was the one who pursued her, Jiang AnZheng still felt that Ruan ZhiYin had deliberately seduced him. She was as beautiful as a fox demon. During senior high, even though she wore no makeup, she was still able to steal so many boys’ hearts.

Ruan ZhiYin and Qin Jue had a marriage contract drawn up by their elders. During that time, that woman had taken advantage of this relationship to always stay by Qin Jue’s side.

At that time she seemed to be well behaved and obedient. But after Ruan ZhiYin and Qin Jue started dating, Jiang AnZheng felt that she was fake and full of schemes.

But Lin JingFei still expressed her blessings with a forced smile which led Jiang AnZheng’s heart to ache.

Yesterday, when Lin JingFei was slashed by someone, Jiang AnZheng had deliberately exaggerated the injury and called Qin Jue.

He had first asked Lin JingFei, but she did not want to affect Qin Jue’s wedding and she declined with a bitter smile. But that expression let Jiang AnZheng know that she had not really let go of Qin Jue.

Ruan ZhiYin wanted to marry into the Qin family. This was something that he could not stop, but he could prevent her from marrying with glory.

The groom ran away and the wedding was postponed. With everyone’s sympathy and ridicule, it would definitely be exciting enough.

Since Ruan ZhiYin wanted to be Mrs Qin, then Ruan ZhiYin will need to shoulder Lin JingFei’s grievances for the rest of her life.

Jiang AnZheng took out his phone and swept his eyes over the trending topics.

He was a bit curious, how embarrassed was Ruan ZhiYin at this time?

***

Ruan ZhiYin looked at the name in her address book. She hesitated for a moment before she finally dialled the number.

The dial tone rang many times.

After what seemed like an extremely long time and just as Ruan ZhiYin was about to give up. The call finally connected.

In that instant, the words she had prepared got lodged in her throat.

Both sides were silent and the strange silence continued for ten seconds. The call was then mercilessly hung up by the other party.

“… …”

Helplessly, she sighed and calmed down. Then, she dialled the number again.

This time, the call was accepted very quickly.

Ruan ZhiYin paused and said, “Cheng YueLin, it’s me.”

“Ah, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. Miss Ruan is about to be a bride. Why do you still have time to call me?” The man’s voice was lazy and carried a bit of hoarseness. However, it still carried the carefree tone from his youth.

It was not possible to blame Cheng YueLin for the surprise. He and Ruan ZhiYin have very very few private interactions. If it was not a mandatory business interaction, or even just due to what happened during the BeiYao project bid. The two of them could have already blacklisted the other.

This was Cheng YueLin’s normal behaviour, so Ruan ZhiYin was not surprised. But at this moment, she could feel a bit of ridicule.

She lightly furrowed her brow and coldly asked, “Cheng YueLin, are you laughing at me?”

“How could I dare?”  He lightly smiled. His words were flat and concise. “Speak, what’s the matter?”

Ruan ZhiYin ignored the sound of glass breaking and she pursed her lips. Then she cut directly to the main point and said, “I remember, you wanted the BeiYao project, right?”

At the beginning of the year, the LanQiao city government planned to build a theme park resort in BeiYao. After multiple parties had bid, the project was acquired by Ruan Company. It was due to this that Ruan ZhiYin was able to gain a strong foothold in Ruan Company.

Cheng YueLin’s family business was big. In the beginning, he had spent a lot of effort on the BeiYao project, but in the end, he returned with failure. At the end of the bidding, she had even deliberately gone over to “chat” with her old classmate that she didn’t get along with.
