Even after leaving the film set, Cheng Jun and the others were still a little dizzy, as if the experience they had just had was not real.

Just now, Peng Junxiu's enthusiasm was almost unbelievable. Not only did he take photos with them, sign autographs, but he also recorded birthday wishes videos for each of them. He didn't end the meeting until the director urged him to leave, and even personally saw them off from the film set. His attitude was as if he were a salesperson meeting a major client.

Faced with such VIP treatment, not only the girls, but even Cheng Jun was a little flattered, and Xiao Qiang even forgot to mention wanting to see Song Yiwen...

But there was one person whose face didn't look too good, and that was Jiao Zuoren!

Because when Peng Junxiu saw the group off, he repeated several sentences:

"Please give this to Brother Zhang Lang! We're like brothers! If you ever need my help, just ask him. He only needs to give the word, and I'll go through fire and water for you!"

Looking at the others, they came out holding their phones, watching videos and taking group photos, praising Zhang Lang in every way.

"I never imagined he and Peng Junxiu were such good friends!"

"It's not about having a good relationship; I think Peng Junxiu is just like his underling!"

"I didn't realize the second brother had such impressive connections!"

"We really owe this to Zhang Lang! Ahhh, we've hit the jackpot!"

……

Damn it, I was the one who contacted Peng Junxiu through connections, and I was the one who brought them here. How come Zhang Lang stole all the credit after all this? What tricks did he play?!

For the rest of the time, Jiao Zuoren wasn't in the mood to play. The shadow of Zhang Lang kept haunting his mind, and he hadn't recovered by the time it was time to gather.

After having enough fun, the group returned to the meeting point and found that most of the other tourists in their group had already returned, with Zhang Lang waiting there early on.

"Hey, second brother!"

Cheng Jun was the first to rush forward, jumping up and putting his arm around Zhang Lang's shoulder:

"You kept it a secret! We've been talking about going to find Peng Junxiu the whole way, and you haven't said a word. Turns out you'd planned this all along!"

"Peng Junxiu, is everything arranged?" This left Zhang Lang completely bewildered.

"Stop pretending!" Cheng Jun pointed behind him, and everyone took out their phones, which were full of photos and videos of themselves with Peng Junxiu.

"As soon as he heard we were your friends, that guy was all set to serve Old Zhou! He even asked us to give you his regards!"

"Yes, yes!" Chen Lin and Pan Xiaoyu exclaimed excitedly, "How did you meet him? Do you know any other celebrities?"

"Especially Song Yiwen!" Xiao Qiang chimed in, "Can I meet her?"

The chatter among the group helped Zhang Lang piece together the situation... Peng Junxiu was unusually enthusiastic after hearing my name? He knows my identity in the main world? How did he find out? Did Le Xinyi tell him? Or is there some other way?

As I was thinking, Su Jie also came up, took out her phone, and saw a birthday greeting video from Peng Junxiu, but the recipient of the greeting was a girl named Dong Qian.

"This is my roommate. She's a huge fan of Peng Junxiu, but unfortunately she couldn't come this time..." Su Jie said with a smile.

"Thank you for letting me fulfill her wish. It seems you're not such a quiet person after all. My opinion of you has changed!"

Zhang Lang nodded: "It was nothing!"

The way he accepted the order with such a smile made Jiao Zuoren, who was standing to the side, itch with envy.

Just as he was about to go up and cause some trouble, a familiar voice suddenly reached his ears.

"Honey, this is the project you were looking into?"

Upon hearing the sound, Jiao Zuoren's hair stood on end, his body stiffened, and he turned around rigidly.

Not far behind him stood a cute girl of medium height with bangs and a round face.

Behind the girl was a tall, capable-looking man with a sharp look in his eyes; he seemed to be a bodyguard.

Jiao Zuoren forced an awkward smile: "Xiao...Xiao Ling, what brings you here?"

The others noticed them too. Cheng Jun frowned, looked around, and then exclaimed, "Isn't that Duan Ling?"

"Do you know him?" Chen Lin asked.

"She's from our school's School of Economics and Management," Cheng Jun introduced. "I heard her father is the chairman of a listed company, and her family is quite wealthy... How did she meet Jiao Zuoren?"

"Judging from this, it's not just a simple acquaintance!" Chen Lin's gossip spirit was ignited.

As they were discussing, Duan Ling strode towards Jiao Zuoren.

She walked very slowly, but each step she took seemed incredibly heavy.

He was covered in cold sweat, and his body trembled slightly with each step she took. He even unconsciously took two steps back.

"What are you hiding for?" Duan Ling quickened her pace, grabbed Jiao Zuoren by the collar, and turned to look at the others standing behind him:

"Are these all your classmates from the field trip? Introduce them to me! And tell me about the topics you explored—was it a day trip to the film studio, or the roller coaster at the Wonderland?"

"Xiaoling, let me explain..." Jiao Zuoren trembled like a leaf, reaching out to try and hug Duan Ling: "I didn't mean to lie to you..."

"What's there to explain!" Duan Ling shoved Jiao Zuoren's hand away and pulled out her phone. "Didn't you already make it very clear?"

Jiao Zuoren took the phone and saw that it contained his chat history with Duan Ling, including the tour itinerary, a shared location record, and a video...

The video, recorded from behind, shows Jiao Zuoren chatting with several girls in an amusement park. The conversation touches on relationship issues, with the guy claiming to be single, never having had a girlfriend, and expressing a deep longing for beautiful love...

"This...this wasn't posted by me!"

Jiao Zuoren hurriedly took out his phone, opened their chat history, and found it completely empty...

Clearly, someone used his phone to send those things and then deleted the records... Look at the sending time, it was last night!

"Zhang Lang!!"

Jiao Zuoren immediately remembered that Zhang Lang had taken his phone last night, and in a fit of rage, he planned to pounce on him.

"Snapped!"

With a sharp crack, Duan Ling slapped him hard across the face, causing Jiao Zuoren to stagger and a red five-finger mark instantly appearing on his face.

"Shameless! Scumbag!"

Duan Ling was trembling with anger and yelled at Jiao Zuoren:

"We've been together for two years. You've eaten my food, used my things, and I even helped you find a job after graduation. Is this how you repay me?"

"Xiaoling, let me explain..." Jiao Zuoren said慌张地, "I really didn't send this to you..."

"Who posted it doesn't matter anymore!" Duan Ling sneered. "I should thank the person who posted the video for letting me see your true colors sooner! Look at your face in the video, how happy you are when you're with other women!"

As she spoke, Duan Ling's gaze swept past Jiao Zuoren and over the people behind him: "Speaking of which, which woman is so shameless as to seduce someone else's boyfriend?"

"Hey, don't talk nonsense!" Chen Lin shouted, "We don't know he has a girlfriend!"

Cheng Jun, who was standing nearby, also came over and stood protectively beside Chen Lin.

Duan Ling narrowed her eyes, her gaze sweeping over Chen Lin: "Looks like this one's taken..."

Then she looked at Pan Xiaoyu: "This one is still too young..."

Finally, her gaze fell on Su Jie, and she pointed at her, saying, "Is it you?"

Su Jie frowned, stepped forward, and said with her head held high and composure, "I have no interest in your boyfriend; he's at most a travel companion. I don't care how your relationship is, but please don't involve others!"

"You dare to lecture me, you mistress? I'm not finished with you!"

Duan Ling was also blinded by anger. She bypassed Jiao Zuoren and went straight for Su Jie with gritted teeth.

Just then, a tall figure blocked Duan Ling's path; it was Zhang Lang.

"Get out of the way!"

Enraged, Duan Ling raised her hand to strike Zhang Lang, but Zhang Lang grabbed her wrist, causing her to cry out in pain.

"Let go of the young lady!"

Upon seeing this, Duan Ling's bodyguards rushed forward and reached out to grab Zhang Lang!

Zhang Lang raised his hand and waved it around. Before anyone could see what happened, the bodyguard's arms were twisted behind his back, and he was subdued on the spot!

"It was a message I sent you using Jiao Zuoren's phone!"

Having subdued the two, Zhang Lang looked down at Duan Ling and readily admitted:

"I did this because I didn't want my friend to be hurt by him. Now, if you try to hurt my friend, I can't allow that either!"

After saying that, Zhang Lang released the two of them and coldly snorted, "Your family matters are your own to resolve. If you start blaming others, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Duan Ling had calmed down by now, realizing she had lost her temper, so she stopped bothering Su Jie. She glanced back at Jiao Zuoren and sneered:

"Attorney Jiao, I think you know more about the law than I do! All the gifts I gave you during our two-year relationship can be considered gifts given with the intention of marriage. Now that we've officially broken up, according to the law, I can get them back, right?"

Upon hearing that he had to repay the money, Jiao Zuoren felt dizzy and suddenly knelt down on the ground!

He knows best how many gifts he's received and how much money he's taken in the past two years! He squandered it all, and now he has to pay it back?

He knelt down to Duan Ling and grabbed her leg, saying, "Xiao Ling, you can't do this. For the sake of our two years together, for the sake of our feelings..."

"We have no feelings left!" Duan Ling replied coldly, shook off Jiao Zuoren, and left with her bodyguards.

Then Jiao Zuoren stood up, using both hands and feet, turned around and glared fiercely at Zhang Lang, leaving behind the words, "You just wait!" before staggering after Duan Ling.

After Jiao Zuoren's figure disappeared into the crowd, Su Jie walked to Zhang Lang's side.

"Thank you……"

Zhang Lang looked down and saw that the smart and capable short-haired girl was now looking down slightly, seemingly a little shy. He couldn't see her face clearly, only her two bright red ears.

"We're friends, it's what I should do!"

Zhang Lang's words made Su Jie tremble slightly, and she muttered something in a barely audible voice:

"Friends..."

After a few seconds, the girl took a deep breath, suddenly raised her head, and gave Zhang Lang a big smile:

"You said it yourself! We're friends, so you can't refuse when your friends ask you to hang out!"

This reaction was unexpected by Zhang Lang, and he could only nod and say "Mm".

"Alright, it's a deal!"

Su Jie revealed a smile as if her scheme had succeeded, turned around and walked towards the bus, calling out to the others, "Don't just stand there like idiots, there's air conditioning on the bus!"

Everyone seemed to realize what was happening at first, and they quickly boarded the bus and found their seats...
