Mr. Yan, wake up! Your wife isn't a delicate little flower.

The wheelchair beside him stopped, and Yan Mingchuan looked up at Cheng Xihe.

"Who is it?"

His voice was deep and pleasant, carrying a questioning tone.

Cheng Xihe shook his head: "You'll know when you see it."

Turning around, Cheng Xi saw a very alluring woman standing not far away.

The woman had long, loose hair and a curvaceous figure; she was quite attractive if you didn't look closely.

only……

Looking up, Cheng Xihe stared at the woman for a long time but still couldn't recognize her: "Who are you?"

The woman in front of me had a disproportionately small face and a very sharp chin, as if she had undergone excessive plastic surgery and had her jawbone shaved.

Not only that, the woman's breasts looked like they were inflated, and her waistline shrunk inward, just like in a comic book.

Faced with Cheng Xihe's question, the girl stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "What do you mean, Cheng Xihe? Don't you recognize me?"

"Perhaps I should get to know you?" Cheng Xihe looked at the woman, puzzled, his eyes full of doubt.

Cheng Xihe was completely out of the loop.

There's no way she could recognize the person in front of her after all that plastic surgery.

"You don't recognize me?" the woman raised her voice, her tone sounding extremely strange.

Cheng Xihe: ...

The woman in front of her wasn't far away, her face filled with shock.

That face, adorned with exquisite makeup like a snake spirit, became distorted because of Cheng Xihe's words.

Cheng Xihe frankly said, "I really don't recognize you anymore. Perhaps it's because you've changed so much."

"We haven't seen each other for only a few months, and you don't recognize me?" The girl's eyes were full of disbelief.

Cheng Xihe frowned slightly, noticing that the other person's tone was unpleasant and the voice sounded somewhat familiar.

Her eyes still held scrutiny and disdain.

Stepping aside, Cheng Xihe blocked Yan Mingchuan's path: "So, may I ask who you are? What brings you here?"

"Cheng Xihe!"

The woman was extremely angry.

However, Cheng Xihe's expression was too serious, and he didn't mean to do it on purpose.

"Yes, I'm here. Is there anything I can help you with? If not, I'll be going." Cheng Xihe glanced at the girl, preparing to leave with Yan Mingchuan.

"you!"

The woman seemed furious at Cheng Xihe's words; her chest heaved violently, and a mocking smile appeared on her lips.

She composed herself, her eyes sharp as knives: "You really do have a bad memory, Scholar Cheng."

"Back then, you were the most popular person in the entire high school. You were always first in the grade, and all the teachers only cared about you."

The girl raised her voice and continued, "What, now that you've gotten into A University, you're not recognizing me as your old classmate anymore?"

People around her were drawn to her loud voice and came over to watch the drama unfold.

His voice was quite distinctive, and many people looked over.

"snort!"

Before Cheng Xihe could speak, the woman snorted coldly: "You were the apple of the teachers' eye, but now that you've gotten into A University, you've turned your back on them. You don't even recognize your old classmate like me."

The woman abruptly changed the subject, continuing her rant with barely concealed sarcasm and malice, the malice practically radiating from her:

"Or is it that you, the top scholar, have now made something of yourself, climbed the social ladder in the city, and want to sever ties with us from the past?"

Her gaze fell maliciously on Yan Mingchuan, emphasizing the word "Gao Zhi'er" with utter sarcasm: "What a disgrace! You're with a cripple just for money?"

"What are you talking about?"

Cheng Xihe frowned as he looked at her.

It's one thing to criticize her, but to drag innocent people into it is simply inhuman.

People around stopped in their tracks and sat down nearby, watching intently.

This real-life version is much better than the short drama.

The woman scoffed, "What, still don't recognize me?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Mingchuan frowned, his eyes darkening, but he did not immediately speak up to explain for Cheng Xihe.

He believed that Cheng Xihe could handle this person on his own.

"It's normal that I don't know you."

Cheng Xihe blocked everyone's curious or malicious gazes and took a step forward.

With a soft sigh, Cheng Xihe shortened the distance between himself and the woman, his gaze fixed intently on her.

"First of all, I have a very good memory; I won't forget people I've seen before."

Based on your appearance and figure, it's perfectly normal that I don't recognize you at all, right?

Your voice sounds somewhat familiar, but I'm not sure.

Secondly, my grades are the result of my own hard work. I have always been attentive in class, and they are not something that teachers flattered me into achieving.

Finally, who I'm with and what I do are none of your business. If you're so capable, then show your true colors!

Don't use your messy standards to judge and judge the kind of people I associate with.

Cheng Xihe tilted her head slightly, glanced at Yan Mingchuan, and then looked back at the woman: "Do you understand what I'm saying?"

The surroundings were eerily quiet; you could hear a pin drop.

No one spoke in the entire hall, and the girl's face flushed red and then turned pale.

She opened her mouth, then uttered a harsh threat: "Cheng Xihe, you win!"

"oh."

Cheng Xihe ignored her: "If you don't tell me who you are, I'll pretend I've never seen you before."

"It's none of your business!" The woman stomped her foot angrily, her eyes filled with malice as she looked at Cheng Xihe.

Seeing this, Cheng Xihe shrugged: "Oh, then I hope you stay put and don't cause me any trouble."

"Pooh!"

The woman spat and turned to leave.

Cheng Xihe stared at her retreating figure, still unable to place her, feeling somewhat bewildered.

After turning a corner, the woman's face fell completely.

She was no different from a clown outside just now. She didn't see Cheng Xihe make a fool of himself, but instead, she was completely ignored.

This is infuriating!

"Honey, what are you doing here? Weren't you supposed to be waiting for me over there?"

A man who was reasonably good-looking came out of the restroom and wiped his watery hands on the woman's body.

The woman leaned against him, looking aggrieved, and said, "I just ran into my classmate, and she bullied me."

"How dare you bully my darling!" The man's temper flared up instantly.

The man tugged at the woman's sleeve, stopping her: "What are you afraid of? With your husband here, whoever it is, they'll have to apologize to you!"

"Okay, thank you, honey~"

The woman called out sweetly and kissed the man.

"Hahaha!"

The man was overjoyed: "Come on, I'll take you to get revenge. How dare they bully my woman on my turf!"

"Okay, Brother Chen." Holding the man's arm, the two went out again, preparing to find Cheng Xihe.

Over there, Cheng Xihe and Yan Mingchuan exchanged a glance.

"You know him?" Yan Mingchuan raised an eyebrow.

He looked at Cheng Xihe with suspicion, wondering if she was capable of judging people, since that woman seemed like a ghost.

"If it's a classmate from school, it's normal that I wouldn't recognize them, since I don't go to school much."

Shrugging, Cheng Xihe raised his hands in surrender: "I really don't remember who she is."

That face didn't match up at all.

Yan Mingchuan chuckled and smiled, "It's alright. If she causes you trouble again, I'll help you."

"You're still helping me? The way she acted, it looked like she was going to bully you."

Cheng Xihe patted Yan Mingchuan on the shoulder: "You should take good care of yourself."

"Hey, you two are here." Su Jin looked around after leaving the jewelry store and finally found the two of them.

He strode over and picked up the things, saying, "Just leave these to me."

"What about over there?" Yan Mingchuan asked casually.

Su Jin carried everything in one hand: "I called the secretariat, and three people are checking and verifying the items."

"Mm." Yan Mingchuan nodded.

"Then I'll store these together for now, and have them all delivered to your Rose Manor later... or..."

Su Jin wasn't sure, so she didn't finish her sentence.

"We had a villa here before, so let's put it there and have someone clean it up. We'll be moving in in the next few days."

Yan Mingchuan asked Cheng Xihe for his opinion: "What do you think?"

"It's fine, I'll be living with you anyway, so it can be placed anywhere."

Cheng Xihe glanced at the time: "It's almost lunchtime, let's find a place to eat."

"OK."

Su Jin was carrying her things and preparing to leave. The two of them were also planning to go to a place to eat when they saw a man stride over and block their way.

The man was holding a cigar and had a thick gold necklace around his neck, acting all high and mighty.

"Hey, where are you going? Stay and chat with us..."
