Banxia nodded. “Ok. Tell me.”

Mo Chenyan stared at her stunned face and said, “During the weekend, you asked me if I knew Jin Zhanbei. Do you remember that?”

“I remember it. What’s wrong?”

“Did you see him at the hospital that day?”

Banxia was obviously taken aback. She put down her chopsticks and asked, “Have you found out? Is it really him?”

It was true that she mentioned Jin Zhanbei to this man, but she only said that she might have seen Jin Zhanbei the first time she saw the familiar figure. She did not mention the second time she saw his figure in the hospital. This was because even she was not sure if that person was really Jin Zhanbei.

Or it might be because her vision was bad…

However, now that he was asking her this question, it was obvious that he already had an answer.

Mo Chenyan sighed deeply and his lips twitched slightly. “That day, he appeared in the hospital and he was caught on CCTV at a nearby supermarket. As for the first time he barged into Ye Hanyan’s ward, Jin Zhanbei did not reveal himself. However, based on the information I gathered, the bodyguards should also be his. Unfortunately, only Jin Zhanbei knows about their motive.”

As he spoke, Mo Chenyan monitored Banxia’s expression. Seeing that she was overwhelmed with emotionless and speechless, he frowned. “Ye Banxia?”

“Where is he?”

Banxia suddenly grabbed the man’s hand. “Where is he now? Can you find him?”

The man furrowed his brows and pulled out his hand to hold her instead. “I’ll take you to look for him during the weekend. Let’s eat now.”

He said in a strong and firm tone.

Banxia initially wanted to persuade him to tell her more, but after looking at the man’s cold side view, she knew that it was impossible to move him. She stared at him for a good thirty seconds, but in the end, she had no choice but to give up and eat her dumplings absentmindedly.

Her mind was filled with inconceivable thoughts and even more questions.

After silently vanishing one year ago, why did Jin Zhanbei silently return again?

The news continued to play on the TV and reported everything that happened in Rongcheng City that day. The standard female newscaster’s voice was the only one in the quiet dining room.

There was the occasional crisp sound of porcelain clashing with utensils.

…

The Cheng Family Villa.

Under the bright lights, Shen Qingyan’s beautiful face was slightly wrinkled. She steadily and slowly ate a mouthful of rice.

Cheng Tianqi glanced at her. “I’ve already told you before that Mo Chenyan doesn’t like women. Why do you still have to care about the gossip?”

“Dad!” Shen Qingyan looked at him in contempt. “If he doesn’t like women, then do you think he likes men?”

She clearly saw Mo Chenyan kissing Banxia in the morning!

Before today, she was afraid that she would not stand a chance of converting a gay man into a straight man. However, after seeing that scene, she knew that things were a lot simpler. All she had to do was to steal Mo Chenyan from another woman.

Cheng Tianqi frowned. “Qingyan, you’re also the daughter of a majority shareholder in the Mo Corporation and you can have any man you want. Why put in so much effort and suffer for a man who isn’t yours?”

“Not every man is called Mo Chenyan. In my eyes, he’s the best!”

After that, Shen Qingyan pursed her lips and complained. “Also, Dad, how can you say that he doesn’t belong to me? Maybe someday, he will be mine. Your daughter is working hard, so don’t rain on my parade!”

Cheng Tianqi expected better and glared at her. “No matter how good Mo Chenyan is, I don’t think you stand a chance! Don’t think I don’t know that you always fall for people at face value after seeing how good looking they are in the magazines! He’s not the only handsome man in Rongcheng City. How about you just stay at home obediently and let your dad find a handsome man who will treat you well? After a blind date, you can just marry him directly!”

Falling for people at face value…

Shen Qingyan snorted in dissatisfaction. “So what if I’ve seen him in the magazines? I just fell in love at first sight with this one of a kind man!”

She angrily slammed down her chopsticks. “I don’t want to talk to you anymore. You can eat alone. I want to go out for a while.”

Blind date, blind date. From the start to the end, he just wanted her to follow his arrangement!

How good could a man from a blind date be?

It was just his backward oldfashioned thinking!

Cheng Tianqi shouted from behind her, “Where are you going so late?”

Shen Qingyan waved her hands but continued walking. “I don’t want to eat with you, so I’m going out for food.”

…

When she walked to the door of the villa, Shen Qingyan frowned in distress. She took out her phone and looked at her contact list for a minute before dialing Lu Sinian’s number.

Lu Sinian quickly picked it up and the man’s low-pitched voice was heard. “What’s the matter?”

“Let’s talk about your heart’s desire and accompany me for a meal.”

She hung up the phone and met Lu Sinian at the restaurant they agreed on. She found a table for them and waited in boredom for Lu Sinian to come over.

Lu Sinian did not make her wait long and arrived very quickly.

When he entered the restaurant, the man’s tall and elegant look was completely different from Mo Chenyan’s indifferent and aloof personality. Shen Qingyan secretly thought that his gold-rimmed glasses might be the reason why he gave off a gentle and calm vibe. He was probably the fine gentleman that her father was referring to.

She smiled and waved at him.

Since she met this man at the Mo Corporation’s cafeteria and found out that he was interested in Banxia, she exchanged numbers with him and shared information about Banxia from time to time. They became fast friends as the two of them were on the same boat.

She wanted Mo Chenyan while he wanted Ye Banxia. It was beneficial for them to work together to break up the pair.

Lu Sinian sat down in front of her and squinted at her before asking, “Miss Cheng, our exchange over the phone was too hasty so I didn’t ask, but why did you choose this restaurant?”

It was a gathering place for the upper-class and a scene in a show made by a new screenwriter from a film and drama department…

Shen Qingyan was slightly startled but soon realized something. She unnaturally played with her the hair and smiled. “Isn’t it because I asked you out for dinner and specially chose a place that fits your identity? I can’t meet with Director Lu at a roadside stall, right?”

Lu Sinian did not expose her and said, “Call me Lu Sinian.”

“Ok, then don’t keep calling me Miss Cheng.”

The two of them called a waiter over to order food. With a smile on his lips, Lu Sinian asked, “Didn’t you say that this was your first day meeting Banxia and you aren’t close to her, so you can only tell me what she likes after slowly getting to know her?”

It would be embarrassing for Shen Qingyan to admit that she just wanted to look for someone to have dinner with her. She laughed and said calmly, “Oh, it’s not much. You can just tell me what you want to know so I can prioritize and let you know.”

After a pause, she said, “You can continue to tell me gossip about the President and Su Ran. Ok?”

Lu Sinian glanced at her. “You seem to very interested in the President’s business.”

“Women love listening to gossip. I can also use this approach to get closer to Banxia!
