Will he come and help me

Ding Min's attention is completely focused on Yan Siqi who is on the stage. I want to continue asking her who Zhou Jin's girlfriend is, but if I were to continue asking, it would inevitably arouse Ding Min's suspicions.

I can't let anyone else know about my relationship with Zhou Jin.

I turned to look at Yan Siqi. She was very beautiful, she was already very tall, and wearing a pair of thin high heels with gems inlaid on them, her ankles were slender, she wore a silver low-cut skirt, her hair was loose and tied up, she wore a simple and unadorned headdress, looking extremely noble and elegant.

I don't think she dressed up herself. I still remember the way she used to move the display stand for luxury goods.

She haughtily glanced at us mortals below the stage, gave a slight nod, and walked down the steps.

At this moment, I saw a skinny middle-aged man supporting Yan Siqi. The middle-aged man's attire was not official, he was wearing a linen shirt and pants, his gaze towards people was very gloomy, but his gaze towards Yan Siqi was very gentle, just that his gentle gaze made people shiver, because I felt that he was not looking at his daughter, I looked at him again carefully, afraid that I had misjudged him.

"Who is he?" I asked Ding Min.

Ding Min said without turning his head, "He is Yan Siqi's father, Yan Zhan."

Yan Zhan was the man that Ding Min had spoken of who would use any means possible to achieve her goals.

Yan Zhan pulled Yan Siqi's hand and said in front of them, "Today is my daughter's banquet, and everything is under her control. Everyone knows that my daughter is about to open a studio, so we should get together in advance."

As soon as Yan Zhan finished speaking, he stood to the side. He was a prestigious figure in the upper class, someone who wanted to curry favor with him, someone who had a working relationship with him. Naturally, he was in a hurry to find his daughter and give her the green light.

Yan Siqi walked down the stairs gracefully, and the group of people surrounded her. Standing amongst them, Yan Siqi looked extremely arrogant, at least she had the qualifications to be so.

Yan Siqi's father stood at the side and looked at his daughter, his eyes still extremely gentle.

Just when Yan Siqi and her clamor had passed by, the main door of the banquet hall opened once again. The crowd cried out in alarm, and even Ding Min, who was seated beside me, grabbed onto my hand.

Who was it? Could it be a star? As I thought this, I casually turned my head to look, and I was immediately stunned.

Because the ones who walked in through the door were Zhou Ze and Zhou Jin, with Zhou Ze in front and Zhou Jin behind, both of them were wearing straight suits, Zhou Ze was still in the same black suit that hadn't changed for ten thousand of years, he was wearing a diamond cuff, the buttons on his shirt were pressed up to the very top, his hair was combed all the way back, revealing his extremely delicate and feminine face, his porcelain white skin and blood-red lips looked very pretty, the way he looked at people was very cold, as though he was a person who didn't even want to look at them.

His shirt's buttons were not completely buttoned, revealing his slender neck. His hair was slightly long, and his facial features were very gentle, yet not feminine. The way he looked at people was very gentle, but for a person who was very gentle, he felt that he was even colder than his brother.

Because they were both so handsome and so rich, the focus of the room shifted to them, and I could already feel the hormones in the hall, and the room was suffused with a pink mist.

I gripped the arm of the sofa tightly and looked at Zhou Jin through the crowd.

He was different, completely different from before.

I watched him adept at courtesies and telling decent jokes to the young lady who came to talk to me.

In the hall, Zhou Jin was much more popular than Zhou Ze. Zhou Ze stood at the side of the hall with a vacuum surrounding him and Zhou Jin was surrounded by flowers and beauties.

"What's wrong with you? "Why is your face so ugly?" Ding Min turned and asked, "Are you not feeling well?"

I shook my head, closed my eyes, and opened them again, making sure that what I saw was not an illusion. I took a deep breath and stood up.

"Where are you going?" Ding Min pulled my hand and asked me, "If you want to go to the toilet, let's go together."

I gently shook my head and pointed in Zhou Jin's direction.

I'm going to confirm one thing. I believe that our previous joys were not illusions. I'm going to make sure that he hasn't forgotten me.

"You like him?" Ding Min smiled and said, "I like him too." Ding Min stood up as she said this.

The two of us walked towards Zhou Jin, who was surrounded by the crowd.

I stood at the periphery of the crowd and stared at Zhou Jin. I thought he would see me, but he didn't even look at me.

"Zhou Jin, are you free next week?" "My birthday is next Sunday. My father would like to give me a birthday party."

Zhou Jin nodded slightly, his smile graceful and gentle.

I took a small step forward but stopped. I don't know why, but at this moment, I suddenly felt extremely inferior.

I was eleven years older than he, a divorced woman, and I couldn't bear to have children. I had never cared about having children before, but now it was like a thorn in my heart.

My family background isn't good enough. I can't help his family.

On the whole, I was nothing. The most important thing was that I had hurt him deeply.

It was only now that I understood why the more I liked, the more I was afraid to go near, the more I loved, the more I was afraid to go forward, because when a person really loves someone, she goes down to the dust in front of that person.

I was beginning to miss the relationship that had started with me.

I took a deep breath and smiled. Anyway, I should say hello to him.

"Zhou Jin …" I whispered his name, but he didn't hear me.

But right at this moment, Yan Siqi acted as if she was going against me on purpose, she appeared here on her high heels, arrogantly holding onto Zhou Jin's arm, as though she was declaring to the people that Zhou Jin is hers.

In my heart, I hoped that Zhou Jin would be able to push her away, just like how he rejected Ye Qing previously. But he didn't, he only furrowed his brows, then immediately turned and smiled at Yan Siqi.

The fake ones were all fake. I clenched my hands. He was still in bed with me before, and he was just trying to goad me. I comforted myself.

I suddenly remembered something Ding Min had told me on the phone before. She said that Yan Siqi would announce something at the banquet.

What is it? An ominous premonition welled up in my heart.

I took a small step back, my hands clenched so hard they were sweating.

"Zhou Jin, why did you come so late?" Yan Siqi said while pouting, she pouted and looked very cute.

Zhou Jin touched Yan Siqi's hair and said, "Sorry, I was delayed because of my work."

Yan Siqi laughed and said, "It's good that you came." She looked at Zhou Jin with eyes full of love.

By now, everyone had understood that the two of them were probably a couple.

I felt cold all over, like I was in an ice cave.

I could barely stand, and the headache hit me again. The whole room was spinning, and I felt as if the crystal chandelier from the ceiling were about to fall on me.

"What's the matter with you?" Ding Min grabbed my hand and asked me, "Why are your hands so cold?"

I took a deep breath, letting my madly beating heart calm down, and forced out a smile. "Nothing much, so Yan Siqi is actually his girlfriend."

After Ding Min heard my words, she came closer to me and said, "Logically speaking, Yan Siqi's family background does not match up to the Zhou family. The Zhou family is the family that stands at the top of the social class, but I heard that before the Yan family washed their face clean, they collected a lot of priceless works of art. After Ding Min finished this sentence, she said, "I'm going to the toilet."

I nodded, looking at the blissful Zhou Jin and Yan Siqi in the crowd.

"I have one more thing to announce." Yan Siqi held onto Zhou Jin's arm and said happily, she looked at Zhou Jin and continued, "Zhou Jin and I are getting engaged, he is my fiance."

Zhou Jin, please hurry up and refute, just like the male protagonists in TV novels. I prayed in my heart that I had unrealistic fantasies.

"Zhou Jin …" I spoke softly, my voice barely audible.

Zhou Jin looked at the surrounding crowd. His eyes were indifferent, filled with estrangement, but he was still smiling. Just what was it that caused him to become so cold and detached?

His eyes swept over my face, not pausing, as if I were an insignificant stranger.

This time, I was completely unable to stand. My body swayed and I nearly fell to the ground. Suddenly, someone behind me supported me.

"Thank you." "No," I said.

I turned my head to look at the person supporting me, but I remained rooted to the spot, because the one standing behind me was Zhou Ze.

He looked at me without a trace of emotion in his eyes.

"You're back." His voice was cold, just as it had been before, but I felt he was more amiable now than Zhou Jin, who stood in the middle of the crowd with a cold smile on his face.

"Thank you." I pulled his hand away, and he politely took it back. "I'm sorry."

Zhou Ze turned around and left. After biting my lips for a while, I finally could not hold back and asked: "Please tell me, what happened to Zhou Jin?"

Zhou Ze did not look back as he walked through the crowd, as if he was a transparent person.

"You know Zhou Ze?" When Ding Min returned from the toilet, she just happened to see me talking to Zhou Ze.

I shook my head. "I almost fell. He held me up."

Yan Siqi stood beside him and smiled sweetly, just like his gentle and obedient little wife. Her eyes that looked at Zhou Jin had stars in them, she really likes Zhou Jin.

I have seen this kind of expression before in Ye Qing's eyes when she looked at Zhou Jin, and in Zhou Jin's eyes when she looked at me.

I clenched my hands and pushed through the crowd as I walked step by step towards Zhou Jin.

"Xia Ying, what are you doing?" Ding Min caught up to me and asked.

I gently shook my head and Ding Min no longer said anything. She just stood by the side and looked at me.

Finally, I stood in front of Zhou Jin. I smiled at him and said, "Hello, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Jin turned his head to look at me, and I noticed that his eyes turned cold, as if he was blaming me for coming before him in such a public place. However, the gentle smile on his face didn't change, "Hello, you are …" He frowned slightly, as if he didn't recognize me at all, and his gesture fell into the eyes of the people around him, who only thought I was a disgusting woman who had overestimated herself and tried to strike up a conversation. They all looked at me with disgust.

"You …" "Don't you know me?" I asked, trying not to shake my voice and keeping the smile on my face.

Yan Siqi seemed to have sensed something. She looked at me with eyes full of vigilance and hostility.

"Sorry." Zhou Jin smiled and said, "I... I don't know you. "

When Yan Siqi heard Zhou Jin's words, she immediately said, "Zhou Jin, my dad is calling us to go over."

"Alright." Zhou Jin let Yan Siqi hold his arm, and he smiled gently at her.

Yan Siqi glared at me fiercely, then pulled Zhou Jin and turned to leave.

I stood there and stared at his back. I wanted to cry in a place where there was no one, and I knew it was ridiculous for a woman my age to cry about emotions.

I saw from afar that Ye He, who had appeared out of nowhere, had come closer to Yan Siqi to talk with her.

"What's wrong with you? "Are you alright?" Ding Min asked me, "When Zhou Jin entered, you started acting abnormal."

I suppressed the emotions in my heart and said to Ding Min, "I thought Zhou Jin was a classmate of mine in high school, but I actually recognized wrongly."

Ding Min laughed and believed my lie.

"Ding Min, I still have work to do." I said, "I'll go back first. You're so fun."

"You won't stay long?" Ding Min was a little reluctant to part with me.

"No need." Ding Min said with concern, "I'll get the driver to take you back."

"No need." "It's not too late yet. I'll take a cab back."

Seeing that Ding Min still wanted to say something, I immediately waved my hand and tactfully rejected her.

I walked out of the hall and asked waiter to bring me a coat, but he just stood in front of me and didn't leave.

"Miss, your jacket is on the other side. Please follow me." The waiter said politely.

"Alright." I nodded.

The waiter led me to the other side of the corridor. Coincidentally, there was a small door there.

I was about to leave, but waiter stopped me.

"What else do you want?" I asked the waiter.

waiter bowed and said, "Miss Yan, please come over."

"Yan Siqi?" I asked. waiter nodded.

"I don't know her." "No," I said coldly.

I hate Yan Siqi. Not only did she rob my shop people, she even rob my lover.

"Please come over." waiter withdrew the smile on his face and said.

I took a step back and said calmly, "Get out of my way."

Before I could finish my words, a few people in black suits appeared beside me. One of them had scars on his face, and I knew that they were definitely not kind people. I thought back to what Ding Min had told me before, that Yan Siqi's family background was not clean.

I was a little flustered.

"What the hell do you mean?" I asked, looking around. I saw that this was a dead end for the security cameras, and no one was passing by now.

"Lady Yan, if you are invited to go, then go." The waiter said, "Please do not make things difficult for us."

I know that even if I don't agree to see Yan Siqi, they still have ways to make me go.

I couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Maybe I shouldn't have been so reckless in the banquet hall.

"Let's go." "No," he said.

I took a step back, trying to buy as much time as I could.

At that moment, I suddenly saw someone I knew very well. I couldn't help but cry out.

"Zhou Jin!"

Zhou Jin was alone in the corridor. He was not far from me. When he heard my voice, he immediately turned around.

He stood in the shadows watching us, and I suddenly felt fear. I was surrounded by a deep chill.

"Zhou Jin!" I called again.
