Ling Jianwei did return home in early December.
With Qin Yi beside her, Zhao Yu knew of all of his latest developments at any given time without needing to pay someone to investigate him.
In fact, Zhao Yu knew a lot about him before as well. She knew that he was an art student, who went abroad to a preparatory course in college right after graduating from high school.
It was a pity that later, half out of guilt and half because she wanted to escape her past, she never paid attention to that man again.
But as luck would have it, Qin Yi’s daily bragging sessions of her idols, she could fill in all the parts she didn’t understand before.
—— Two years ago, Ling Jianwei was admitted to CSM as a graduate student. There, he won several design awards during graduate school and also set up a studio by himself. He returned to China after graduation and brought his partners back with him.
Yiyuan Group focused on art, particularly the planning and developing designs for commercial use. They were also leaders of the industry in testing and appraising precious items.
Although Ling Jianwei’s studio stood independent of Yiyuan, all the services offered were in the same industry. Huacan, who had long cooperated with Yiyuan, already contacted him to discuss a possible partnership after learning that he had returned to China with his studio. But Ling Jianyuan; Ling Jianwei’s older brother refused.
Zhao Yu was not surprised by this result. Ling Jianyuan would not want her younger brother to see her. The cooperation between Lan Xi and Yiyuan was a big deal so he could not let personal reasons interfere with work. But with such a small studio, he could freely find a random reason to make decisions on his brother’s behalf.
In regards to Ling Jianwei, Zhao Yu was indifferent either way. She neither wanted to nor was she afraid to meet him.
Because she knew his temperament very well, even if he were to suddenly see her now, he would just ignore her, mentioning the past was out of the question, let alone, interfering with her plan for revenge.
As for whether that man still hated her, or whether he was still sad, she didn’t care.
However, it was obviously not enough for Ling Jian Yuanguang to prevent Zhao Yu from meeting Ling Jianwei at work. On an occasion when even Zhao Yu herself did not expect to run into Ling Jianwei, he showed up.
It was Christmas Eve. Zhao Yu and Xue Ziang had already planned to spend the day with just the two of them1, but a bunch of his friends called over and over again2 and asked him to join in some festive party. After several refusals, he was a little touched, so he asked Zhao Yu if she wanted to go.
Taking into consideration that Zhuang Yiqing was abroad and she wouldn’t be bothered with this kind of party, Zhao Yu nodded.
The party was different from what she had imagined. It was neither in a high-end club nor in a popular night scene, but in a private estate.
The manor was built in a small town nearby. The owner also spent huge sums of money to build a private racing track and golf course. It finished construction this year and it was the first time it was opened to the public. The owner of the manor had invited many good friends from their circle over and the party was tremendously huge.
Zhao Yu was not interested in any kind of party, but unfamiliar with the place, she could only follow Xue Ziang closely.
Xue Ziang’s reputation for living a life of debauchery was well earned in the two years he spent drinking and wasting away. He knows most of the people who came to the party tonight, and someone will come up to say hello almost wherever he goes.
When many people saw Zhao Yu, they thought she was Xue Ziang’s new female companion, and spoke carelessly, but he unexpectedly draped an arm around her shoulders and announced domineeringly, “Girlfriend.”
His behavior caused a chatter of gossip to spread throughout the party, not that he cared. Instead, Zhao Yu felt overly flattered. Several times she could not hide her smile as she secretly watched him and let him catch her doing so. Naturally, the outcome, was that Xue Ziang, not mindful of the occasion, held her face and forcefully kissed her in full view of everyone.
After more than half an hour at the house party, the excitement was not enough for some people, and they all proposed to go out and play. It was not until Xue Ziang took her to the racing track that Zhao Yu understood what they said was the best part.
“You want to race?” Seeing that someone had helped Xue Ziang drive his Vanquish over, Zhao Yu quickly grabbed his wrist, “You can’t, you just drank, and it’s snowing so much…”
Seeing Zhao Yu so nervous, Xue Ziang unexpectedly laughed. “Worried about me?”
“You’re asking this stupid of a question? Xue Ziang, I normally don’t stop you from doing anything, but today, you are not allowed to participate.”
After staring at her for a few seconds, Xue Ziang suddenly lowered his head and kissed her lips. Since the first contact, he licked and sucked her lips, holding her head in place with big palms, the clever tongue dove into her mouth and explored unscrupulously.
“Dang! Master Xue, you. How many times are you going to kiss in front of us? If really kissing is not enough, just hurry up and take people back to the room, and don’t do it in front of me.”
Xue Ziang turned a deaf ear to the teasing beside him, until Zhao Yu was almost out of breath, he reluctantly let go of her, smiled and stroked her face, and turned his head and loudly announced to his group of friends, “I’m happy.”
“Eee? Disgusting.”
“I got goosebumps all over the place.”
There was another wave of jeers all around, and several others called Zhao Yu “sister-in-law”, “sister-in-law”, but Zhao Yu was embarrassed by them.
However, as soon as she raised her head and surveyed the laughing crowd, she suddenly saw two familiar faces.
One was Ling Jianwei, the other was Xu Chengyan.
Both were people she didn’t expect would come tonight.
Moreover, the eyes of the two people fell on her face, both expressionless, but she had an inkling that they were shocked to witness this scene.
“Don’t worry, I don’t intend on playing, just lending the car to Fengzi.” Xue Ziang took Zhao Yu’s hand and walked to Nianfeng, and motioned to the waiter to give him the car key, “Go easy, don’t wreck my car.”
Nian Feng took the car key and nodded again and again, and looked at Zhao Yu with a smirk: “Sister-in-law, this car…you haven’t had car s*x right?”
As soon as he said this, several friends, friends, and friends laughed again, and Xue Ziang gave them an angry look. “You keep your mouth shut, be careful or I will beat you.”
Nian Feng hurriedly raised his hands in defense, begging for mercy, then threw his car key to Xue Ziang, he added quietly, “If I wreck your car, I’ll give mine to you, don’t worry, there is absolutely no car s*x.”
Xue Ziang raised his leg to kick him, but he jumped away like a monkey, leaving only a burst of hearty laughter.
At this moment, another waiter walked up and said respectfully, “Mr. Xue, Mr. Ling said, he wants to challenge you.”
“Mr. Ling?” Xue Ziang swept around, “Which Mr. Ling?”
A friend by his side approached and gestured to Xue Ziang to the other side: “That man, what is the name of Ling Jianyuan’s brother? Oh, Ling Jianwei.”
Zhao Yu’s gaze, following Xue Ziang’s look, fell on Ling Jianwei’s unreadable face.
Ling Jianwei also came with a group of friends, and several of them knew Xue Ziang. They smiled and greeted. “Master Xue, want to go one round?”
Xue Ziang’s gaze was still fixed on Ling Jianwei’s face. Ling Jianyuan knew him, but it was the first time meeting Ling Jianyuan’s younger brother. But seeing the guy’s eyes full of provocation, and he accepted it.
Zhao Yu had no outward reaction on her face, but she was actually a little surprised. In her memory, Ling Jianwei was not such an impulsive and aggressive person, and did he even know how to race?
Sure enough, someone around him was talking quietly.
“Isn’t that guy a nerd? They can race?”
“That’s hard to say, maybe people have been racing cars every day overseas?”
“Impossible! You don’t know but my old man used Ling Jianwei as the textbook example every day to scold me and my brother. Saying this is a high-achieving student, a young genius. /Spit/! Just one look at him pisses me off.”
Zhao Yu vaguely felt that Ling Jianwei’s challenge to Xue Ziang was related to her. She was about to ask Xue Ziang to ignore it, but he had already laughed and said loudly, “Okay, I accept the challenge. Feng, return my car.”
“Xue Ziang!” Zhao Yu clenched his hand and looked at him anxiously, “It’s too dangerous, don’t mess around.”
Xue Ziang smiled and pinched her face. “Don’t worry, when I was racing, he was still learning how to breastfeed.”
