"You are..." Tang Jun looked at Tao Juan a little blankly, as if he didn't know her at all. However, as I had been by her side the entire time, I could still sense the strange look in her eyes.

In the end, she still took what the man said to heart.

Hearing Tang Jun's question, Tao Juan's face flashed with anger, but immediately changed back to a smiling face, and said, "My name is Tao Juan, I'm an actor, I had long heard that you, Boss Tang, are a strong female, I have always admired you." As she spoke to here, a trace of pride flashed across her face.

How could she not know that Tang Jun was Zhou Si's wife?

No, she knew.

"Is that so?" Tang Jun coldly snorted, then said, "I hope that you can also become a strong woman who doesn't rely on men." Soon after, Tang Jun turned around and left to talk to the others.

I followed behind Tang Jun, and turned to look at Tao Juan's expression. At the moment, she looked angry, but she didn't look like a little princess at all.

The third party always harbours unrealistic fantasies.

Teng Wan was like this, Li Jie was like this.

If one day, these third parties were to succeed and become a man's wife, wouldn't they be worried that once they lost their charisma or the man got tired of them, the man wouldn't find another woman?

If there was a first time, there would be a second time.

Why did he have to fight over a man with such an ugly woman? Men were everywhere, so if he lost him, he would lose him.

I looked at Tang Jun. I don't know why, but I kept feeling that she looked a little more haggard compared to before. The bright lipstick on her lips didn't improve her complexion at all.

She talked and laughed with the others as if nothing had happened, but I could clearly see that her heart was bleeding.

The dinner was soon over. Everyone gathered together and complimented each other with their second face. After the banquet was over, there was only loneliness left.

Tang Jun and I walked towards the lounge. There was only the two of us in the long corridor, her high heels making no sound on the carpet at all. Her back was still as straight as when we arrived.

"Are you tired?" I couldn't help but ask softly.

Tang Jun didn't say anything. She probably didn't want me to see her weak side, but I didn't expect that after a long time, I would suddenly hear her reply, "Sometimes I don't know what I'm doing."

I didn't know how to answer her. I thought about it for a moment and then said, "Money is better than men." I smiled as I looked at Tang Jun and said, "In my opinion, not having money is more frightening than having a lonely life."

Tang Jun turned her head and glanced at me. She still had a haggard expression on her face, but I could vaguely see a trace of a smile in her eyes.

Tang Jun and I changed our clothes and went out the side door. I saw the stars in the sky and it was looking at us.

"I'll take you home." Tang Jun said, "I will call the driver to return first."

I nodded and decided to follow Tang Jun to the car park.

I knew that although Tang Jun looked cold on the surface, she was actually a very gentle person. I guessed that she must have let the driver return first because she was unsure when she would be able to leave this terrible banquet.

Just as Tang Jun and I were about to cross the road, I suddenly heard the sound of a car.

"Be careful!" I didn't have to look back to know what had happened.

After I shouted, I immediately grabbed onto Tang Jun's arm and pulled her back. Her momentum caused her to fall on top of me, and I fell to the ground.

Just at this time, a car quickly drove by us two. The car raised a cloud of dust, as it crashed into Tang Jun and I.

Tang Jun sat on top of me, she stared blankly at the cars that passed, her entire being lost in thought.

When I saw her, I couldn't bear to call out to her. I followed her gaze and saw that the car was parked in front of the house. The driver got out and opened the door.

I saw a woman get in the car. I recognized the woman, it was Tao Juan. Then the driver closed the door and the car drove away as if it were the same woman as before.

Tang Jun only recovered from her daze after the car drove far away. I held her hand, which was as cold as Zhou Jin's.

"What's wrong?" I asked, my voice soft.

"Nothing." When we got up from the ground, I couldn't help but raise my head and look at the night sky. The bright stars were just as expressionless as before.

"Do you like necklaces?" I asked Tang Jun, as the two of us walked slowly toward the parking lot. The stars were still shining down on us, like the most expensive diamonds in the world.

Tang Jun tilted her head and glanced at me, she returned to her previous appearance of a strong woman, although she didn't say anything, I'll just take it that she likes it.

"I was looking at the stars in the sky and suddenly had an idea. Maybe I could make you a necklace." I said to Tang Jun, "Maybe every single one of us is a star, although some of us are bright, some are not, but no matter what, they will shine in the sky, and that is enough." I suddenly said something about the jute.

Tang Jun looked at me, she opened her mouth as though she wanted to say something, but then suddenly, a car stopped in front of Tang Jun and me.

I know it's Zhou Jin's car.

The car window rolled down, and Zhou Jin's smiling face appeared before me. He quickly glanced at me, and then, his gaze landed on Tang Jun.

I glanced at Tang Jun and saw that she didn't have a single expression of dissatisfaction on her face.

"Is he here to pick me up, or is he here to pick Xia Ying up?" Tang Jun said with a smile.

As soon as Tang Jun said this, Zhou Jing and I looked at each other and simultaneously looked at her. I did not expect that Tang Jun would actually make fun of us, and previously, I thought that I was just thinking too much, but now …

Maybe she admitted my relationship with Zhou Jin.

Although this is not so important to me, but the recognition of Zhou Jin's mother still made me a little happy.

I opened the door of the passenger seat and planned to let Tang Jun to sit first. I knew very well that we should let the customers or the boss sit in the back seat, but Zhou Jin and I were in an awkward situation.

Tang Jun glanced at me, then opened the back door of the car. She gave me an ambiguous smile, and I saw her sitting in the front passenger seat.

"Zhou Jin, why are you here?" Tang Jun asked.

"I've been waiting here."

Tang Jun laughed and did not say anything, but upon hearing Zhou Jin's words, I could not help but look at him, feeling that he was extremely handsome.
