Lin Chaoyu’s heart was filled with bitterness. It was as if the extravagance here didn’t belong to her. She slowly walked out of the banquet hall. After walking for an unknown period of time, she looked around. This should be the back garden of the banquet hall. Lin Chaoyu sat on the swing. The bright moonlight shone on her body and made her seem like a fairy that had descended to the mortal world. The night wind blew a few strands of her hair. Lin Chaoyu’s brows furrowed slightly, as if he was deep in thought. She couldn’t conceal her disappointment.

Tang Pengze had spent a lot of money to get her to be a surrogate. The tenderness he had unintentionally shown to her was all fake. He just wanted her to be a surrogate tool and obediently give birth to a child for him and Lu Xi. Tang Pengze had really put in a lot of effort. To put it bluntly, the two of them were just in a business relationship. She was willing to get the job done as long as she was paid. Thinking of this, Lin Chaoyu’s heart ached slightly.

“Lin Chaoyu?” Suddenly, a woman’s cry interrupted Lin Chaoyu’s train of thought. Following the voice, Lin Chaoyu looked up. A woman wearing a yellow strapless evening gown stood in front of her. Her expression was arrogant, and her eyes revealed unconcealable contempt.

“Zhang Xiaoya?” The woman in front of her was Lin Chaoyu’s university classmate. Lin Chaoyu couldn’t help but be a little surprised. How did she meet her here? Perhaps it was because women were innately jealous. Zhang Xiaoya didn’t like Lin Chaoyu at all in university and spread rumors about her. Because of this, Lin Chaoyu had very few friends in university.

“Just now, I saw a figure that looked like you in the banquet hall.” Zhang Xiaoya stretched out her newly made manicure and flicked it before continuing. “I didn’t expect it to be true… but with your family background, how could you have the chance to attend such a banquet?” Zhang Xiaoya couldn’t help but be a little puzzled.

“If you can come here, why can’t I?” Lin Chaoyu couldn’t help but feel irritated when she saw Zhang Xiaoya.

“Xiaoya is different from you! She’s the girlfriend of the host of this banquet, Young Master Qian, Qian Yang!” The woman holding Zhang Xiaoya’s arm suddenly said with a flattering tone. After hearing that, Zhang Xiaoya couldn’t help but feel a little proud. She became even more arrogant.

If she didn’t say anything, Lin Chaoyu wouldn’t have noticed the woman beside Zhang Xiaoya. Indeed, birds of a feather flock together.

“What identity did you come in with? Could it be that you became someone’s mistress?” Zhang Xiaoya didn’t hide the contempt in her eyes. She opened her mouth and said, “Like mother like daughter. You’re addicted to being someone’s mistress…”

Suddenly, a crisp slap sounded. “Pa!”

“You!… You dare to hit me?” Zhang Xiaoya covered her face and looked at Lin Chaoyu in disbelief. She was getting angrier and angrier. She immediately raised her hand and was about to retaliate when her arm was grabbed by a bodyguard who suddenly rushed over.

Just as Lin Chaoyu was about to close her eyes, the expected pain didn’t come. She opened her misty eyes in confusion. Her whole body was filled with stubbornness, which made her look charming.

Zhang Xiaoya was suddenly stopped by someone. She turned her head and looked at the tall and burly bodyguard in black. He exuded a cold aura. Her entire body trembled and she couldn’t help but feel a little scared. She put down her arm unwillingly and glared at Lin Chaoyu before hurriedly leaving the garden.

“Miss Lin, are you alright?” the bodyguard asked.

“I’m fine.” Lin Chaoyu lowered her head and said softly. She thought to herself, Zhang Xiaoya definitely would not let the matter rest. Furthermore, her boyfriend was the host of this banquet. The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she felt. She could only return to the banquet hall first..
