Oh no! Drunk last night, I accidentally wandered into my ex-boyfriend's room.

Charity banquets are nothing more than arenas for fame and fortune, requiring all sorts of social interactions and networking.

Lin Qian, being a considerate companion, linked arms with Lu Beiting and accompanied him, noticing that many people came up to chat with them.

It was fine at first, but after standing in high heels for a long time, I got a little tired.

Today is Friday, and Lin Qian has been working all day and is now sore and tired.

"Go sit down and rest for a while," Lu Beiting said, unusually considerate.

Lin Qian hadn't been moved for even a second.

He said, "After all, I need to save some energy; I'll have to shout louder tonight."

"!!!"

Lin Qian's face flushed red.

This is in the lobby, with people coming and going. If they hear this, won't they have no shame?

"Lu Beiting, you're here for the banquet, can't you be serious for once!" Lin Qian lowered her voice and earnestly reminded him.

"I'm very serious." Lu Beiting held a glass of red wine in his other hand, swirling it leisurely, a carefree smile playing at the corners of his eyes.

"But seeing you automatically makes me act inappropriately, and all I can think about is wanting to *you*, what should I do?"

"..."

Lin Qian immediately turned and left, afraid of getting involved with Lu Beiting.

As the man watched her slowly walk away, a strange surge of emotion welled up inside him.

Just then, a middle-aged man walked over and seized the opportunity to ask:

"By the way, Mr. Lu, are you still single? My daughter is all grown up now, only two years younger than you."

Lu Beiting's smile vanished, replaced by an aloof and indifferent expression. "Mr. Zhao, did you see my female companion just now?"

"Uh...I saw it," Mr. Zhao had originally intended to matchmake his daughter with Lu Beiting, but now he couldn't quite figure out what Lu Beiting was thinking.

Lu Beiting: "Do you think she's a good match for me?"

The other party didn't dare to offend anyone easily, saying, "That lady is very beautiful... May I ask who she is?"

Lu Beiting: "She's my girlfriend."

The word "before" was automatically omitted.

He'll get rid of that word sooner or later, anyway.

Upon hearing this, the other person immediately abandoned their thoughts and nodded in admiration, "No wonder that young lady and Mr. Lu look so well-matched!"

Lu Beiting smiled slightly and clinked glasses with him.

-

Lin Qian found a secluded corner to eat her dessert.

Everyone else came for the socializing, but she came for the free dessert buffet.

I usually save up all the money I earn from working hard to help pay off my uncle's debts, and I rarely have such a great opportunity.

She hadn't been eating for long when she saw Xia Tingshi walking towards her from a great distance.

Lin Qian picked up a small plate of blueberry mousse and gave some instructions to the waiter standing next to her.

The waitress was a petite girl with a baby face and a bun hairstyle. She nodded quickly and said, "Okay, miss."

Immediately afterwards, Xia Tingshi walked over in high heels.

She was dressed in haute couture Chanel and had an elegant smile on her face.

"Lin Qian, I really didn't expect to see you here. What a coincidence!"

Lin Qian continued to focus on eating her blueberry mousse, ignoring her.

Xia Tingshi couldn't help but feel a little disdainful when she saw her eating the cake so intently.

He really does act like a poor person.

As the dazzling lights fell, the necklace around Lin Qian's neck reflected a brilliant blue light that pierced Xia Tingshi's eyes.

Xia Tingshi still wore a smile on her face, but she felt extremely unbalanced inside, and a strange jealousy welled up in her heart.

"That's right. I almost forgot. An illegitimate daughter like you is born without manners. Just like your mother, Lin Shuyao, you like to climb into men's beds and make money off them."

Lin Qian noticed her gaze falling on her necklace, and immediately understood, saying calmly:

"Making money? You mean this necklace of mine? It's actually quite beautiful. If you like it, I'll sell it to you for twenty million."

"It's just a necklace, what are you so smug about?" Xia Tingshi gritted her teeth. "Do you believe that Lu Beiting can give it to you today and give it to another woman tomorrow!"

Lin Qian glanced at it indifferently, "Really? Anyway, I wouldn't give it to you, no matter who else. Because I remember Lu Beiting said you were disgusting before, and that you were repulsive to people?"

"you!!"

These words were a thorn in Xia Tingshi's heart.

Lin Qian's words completely touched Xia Tingshi's sore spot.

Xia Tingshi bit her red lips, and the next second, she rushed to Lin Qian's side and then suddenly fell backward.

"Splash—"

A loud bang.

Xia Tingshi deliberately knocked over the champagne tower behind her.

In an instant, countless glass goblets spilled down, shards and liquid scattering across the ground, leaving a scene of utter chaos.

There was even a shard that cut her hand.

Xia Tingshi fell to the ground, but her movements were a carefully designed "elegant swan landing" that looked endearing.

"Ouch, that hurts..."

Countless people around turned to look after hearing the commotion.

One of Xia Tingshi's sisters was already prepared and exclaimed in surprise:

"Oh my god, it looks like the girl in the black dress was pushed over by the girl in the blue dress!"

"Huh? Who is that woman in the blue dress? How dare she push someone in public?"

"Quick, quick, help him up! There are so many shards of glass, he might get cut!"

Lin Qian looked at Xia Tingshi lying on the ground, but was not surprised.

Just as she expected, Xia Tingshi's tricks were still so low-level.

It was rudimentary, but in the past, it was indeed very useful.

In the second semester of the second year of high school, during physical education class, the girls were paired up. All the other girls had their own partners, but Lin Qian did not.

The PE teacher forced her into the same group as Xia Tingshi and Ye Miaomiao, and not long after, Xia Tingshi fell to the ground.

Ye Miaomiao loudly questioned, "Lin Qian, why did you push Sister Shishi?!"

Xia Tingshi also had an innocent expression, saying that her leg hurt a lot and that she wouldn't fuss over such a small thing.

Everyone sympathized with her, saying she was kind and gentle.

Lin Qian naturally became the target of everyone's anger and became an even more hated person...

"So many years have passed."

Lin Qian looked down at the woman lying on the ground, her eyes flashing, "You still only know how to slander others like this."
