Jiang Boyan was in the closet that had belonged to Ji Han’s sister, picking out something to wear tonight. She finally found a halter dress and picked a white sweater to go with it, so she would not be cold. She also put on a mask, then left the villa. She called for a taxi on her mobile phone app to Tianhonghui.
She was going to look for the thug who was supposed to give her a fake ID. Today was the day he agreed to deliver the goods.
Tianhonghui was busiest in the evenings.
A melodious piano tune was playing in the cafe on the sixth floor of the mall. Someone picked up a few sugar cubes with tweezers and placed them into the coffee cup. Immediately after, the handsome man placed a coffee cup on the table in front of Jiang Meng.
“Mengmeng, don’t be afraid. Those scandals will pass soon. Those who criticized you will soon forget about it.”
Jiang Meng’s eyes were red as she leaned back. She smiled at Lin Che through her tears. “Ah Che, thank you so much. If it weren’t for you, I don’t know how I would have survived all the verbal abuse.”
Lin Che, the second young master of the Lin family, had once confessed his love to Jiang Boyan when she was in school. Now, Lin Che was Jiang Meng’s boyfriend.
Although Jiang Meng now looked like a pitiful girl who had been crushed by public opinion, in reality, she scoffed at her own performance. If she could connect with Ji Han, why would she put in so much effort to pretend to be weak in front of the reporters? She humbly begged those rich kids to speak up for her.
Ji Han only casually said something about her. Why would any reporter dare to say anything bad about Jiang Meng?
“Mengmeng, don’t be afraid. I’ll always stand by your side and won’t let anyone hurt you.”
Lin Che quietly comforted Jiang Meng.
Although Lin Che was only the second young master of the Lin family and did not have much real power, the pitiful Jiang Meng could satisfy his ego.
Hearing Lin Che’s words, Jiang Meng sat beside Lin Che and gently leaned her head on his shoulder. “Ah Che, you’re so nice.”
Lin Che gently planted a kiss on Jiang Meng’s forehead. Then, she paused for a moment and could not help but ask the question that had been bothering her all along.
“However, I saw Feng Cun and Xue Peng prove your innocence in the reporters’ interview earlier. Did the Jiang family… contact the Feng and Xue Families?”
“I didn’t.”
Jiang Meng said aggrievedly, “I don’t know why Feng Cun and Xue Peng did this either. They probably can’t stand the slander against me anymore.”
Actually, those who spoke up for her were people that Jiang Meng had contacted. Still, she could not do anything about how the rich kids, who already had ulterior motives, took advantage of her.
Lin Che dispelled her previous doubts, “Those people are all second-generation rich kids who only know how to mingle in nightclubs. It’s fine as long as you don’t interact with them too much.”
“Yes, yes. I also interact with them because of the charity project that the Jiang Corporation is doing.” Jiang Meng blinked her teary eyes, “Ah Che, I only have eyes for you.”
The fake emotions in her eyes easily fooled Lin Che. He could not help but smooth Jiang Meng’s hair. “After you finish handling this, I’ll definitely go to the Jiang family and ask your parents for your hand in marriage.”
“I’ll wait for you.”
Jiang Meng leaned into Lin Che’s arms and tilted her head towards the window. There was not a trace of a smile on her delicate and lovely face. There was only disgust.
What right did he have to ask her to marry him?
This time, the public opinion made Jiang Meng swear that she would definitely marry the most powerful man in Z Country. This way, no matter how many people disliked her in the future, they would not be able to do anything to her.
As she thought of this, she saw someone coming up the escalator nearby.
A girl in a white outfit appeared on the escalator. The girl was well-proportioned, and the sweater paired with the white dress was just right. Both items were not designed by popular brands. However, she paired them very well and her outfit was in line with the latest fashion trends. Her black hair that hung down made the girl’s long neck look even more slender.
Her taste in clothes was not bad.
She could also try a similar clean combination. There was no point in pretending to be cute all the time.
As Jiang Meng was thinking about the outfit, the girl stepped onto the sixth floor. She looked left and right as if she was looking for someone. She took off her mask, revealing her pristine and beautiful face.
Jiang Meng widened her eyes in horror. She looked as if she had just seen a ghost.
Jiang Boyan?
