The smile on Xia Zhi's face became even more brilliant, "I think so. I'd like to see what he looks like, too. Only to disappoint you. I've grown up, fallen in love so many times, been ditched by others, and been ditched by others. Unfortunately, no man has ever had the power to hurt me. This has always been a regret in my heart. I've been thinking that if I'd been hurt by love once, I wouldn't be as bored as I am now. "

"Is that so?" Qiao Zhian looked at her, puzzled.

She didn't look back, but made an OK gesture with her hand.

She had been expecting them to meet at some famous birthday party or engagement party, but she hadn't expected to see him for half a year.

Even though she had pushed one of his companies to the brink, he remained indifferent.

Obviously, to him, that company was not enough to attract his attention.

So she was trying to make a second, fierce attack on him, and she didn't think that while everything was still plotting, the chance to meet with him would come.

It turned out to be the engagement party she didn't want at all.

It wasn't the scene she wanted, but it couldn't stop her determination to turn the tides.

Qiao Zhian opened the car door and extended his hand to her elegantly, "Tian Wan, we're here, get out of the car!"

Xia Zhi nodded, and got out of the car with his help. She looked around and said lightly: "It really is a big party! More than ever before. It looked like Pei Yaochen had a lot of face. I even saw the mayor come. "

"Yes." Indeed. I heard they were as close as father and son. It is a pity that he is too low-key. Otherwise, I would bet that the important figures in the political world that come here are not just the mayors of L City. " Qiao Zhian said with a faint smile.

He had experienced such a grand gathering since he was young, so he was not surprised by it.

"Is that so? That is indeed low-key. " Xia Zhi raised her eyebrows.

"Want to know him? I can introduce you. He's on good terms with my dad. " Qiao Zhian said proudly.

Xia Zhi smiled.

Soon, the two entered the main hall.

A waiter had long since received their clothes with care and sent them champagne with great care.

Qiao Zhian knocked her lightly with the champagne and said gently, "Let's have a drink first. Then I'll take you to say hello to the uncles. They rarely attended the banquet, so they did not expect to all attend tonight. It looks like this specification is even more awesome than I thought. But that's good as well. It's rare for them to be together, so we can just meet. Perhaps we have gained quite a bit. "

However, Xia Zhi could not bring herself to be interested, and said dispiritedly: "Tonight, I do not want to socialize, I only want to be free and happy on my own. Go say hello yourself. Leave me alone. "

Qiao Zhian sized her up, puzzled, "This is unlike your usual self. Usually, if you see those people, your eyes will shine with the green glow of a hungry wolf. You're a little down today, aren't you? "If you're not feeling well, why don't I send you back before the banquet officially begins?"

Xia Zhi laughed and stared at him, "I just want to enjoy this Golden Age engagement ceremony and see if it is any different from the ones I have seen before, so I am too lazy to go and socialize with you, where would I feel uncomfortable? And when did I become like a hungry wolf? Don't you think I'm being too cruel? "

"Hur hur. No matter how savage you are, you are still a charming and enchanting hungry wolf. " Qiao Zhian laughed and joked around with them.

"Fuck you!" Xia Zhi lightly pushed him, "I won't tell you anymore, hurry up and go! "Tonight, although I am not interested in meeting with your powerful uncles for the time being, I might as well set a date to go somewhere and play."

"All right. I'll be going then. Take good care of yourself. " Qiao Zhian warned.

"Don't worry." I have never treated myself unfairly at a party like this. " Xia Zhi charmingly blinked her eyes at him.

Qiao Zhian was startled, but immediately smiled and turned to leave.

Xia Zhi's smile disappeared as she carried the alcohol and walked to the eastern corner, which was the fruit section.

For some reason, her throat was smoking from thirst. The cold wine had not eased her condition at all, so she wanted to eat some fruits.

After filling a small plate with fruit, she took it and sat down in a corner. Just as she placed a piece of fruit into her mouth, before she could even chew on it, she felt a dark cloud shrouding her head.

Smelling the man's common cologne, Xia Zhi was a little agitated.

Tonight, she didn't want to entertain any men.

At least for now.

She did not look up as she coldly said, "There are already people here. Please find another place to sit!"

"Xia Zhi, you're getting colder and colder. If I didn't know the whole truth, I wouldn't have believed that you were Xia Zhi. " The man sighed.

Xia Zhi raised her head, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she spoke softly: "Han Jing! You are not allowed to call me by my name! "

Han Jing sat in front of her and stared at her deeply, "Okay. I don't call you by your name. I should call you Tian Wan. Four months had passed since their last meeting. I always thought that you would contact us, but in these four months, you've been nowhere to be found. Do you really not see us as friends anymore? Do you still mind how I lost my composure that night? If it is, I apologize to you in all seriousness, I should not be delusional. All these years, I've been living with guilt. I've always wanted a chance to get your forgiveness. But from the looks of it, you don't seem to be prepared to forgive me, do you? Because you don't want to forgive me, you don't even care about your friendship with Yazhu anymore, right? "

Xia Zhi frowned, "You're wrong. I have forgotten the past. So it's not really about not forgiving. The reason why I didn't see Yazhu was because I didn't want to disturb your lives. And, as you know, I have very important things to do. I can't be close to you until this is a success, because it will do you no good. Don't forget, the reason I didn't immediately ask Pei Yaochen for his child back then was purely to protect both of you. I've worked hard for so many years, and I hope that you don't ruin my plan and your peace at this moment! "

As she spoke, she stood up and was about to leave when she saw Yang Yazhu standing not far away, staring at her blankly.

She bit her lips and quickly walked towards the VIP lounge.

Just as she sat down, the door opened. Yang Yazhu walked in excitedly and hugged her tightly without saying a word.

She raised her hand to push Yang Yazhu away, but she was afraid that her action would hurt her.

Just as he was hesitating, Han Jing walked in and locked the door.

Only then did Xia Zhi's heart calm down. She also reached out and hugged Yang Yazhu, and said softly, "Yazhu, long time no see."

"Xia Zhi, is it really you? What a ruthless heart! It's been so many years since we last met, and I don't even know a single thing. If it wasn't for Pei Yaochen getting engaged, were you planning to never come out again in your entire life? " Yang Yazhu was so excited that she sobbed.

"Yes. If it's not necessary, I really won't come out. And I want to get as far away from your lives as possible. Without me, you would have been very happy. " Xia Zhi sighed.

Yang Yazhu's body froze, she suddenly realised something, and released Xia Zhi, sitting down beside her, she whispered: "You came back to take revenge on him, right?"

Xia Zhi smiled, "I came back to steal my child. If that's revenge, I admit it. "

Yang Yazhu nodded and sighed, "I knew that this day would come."

"Yes." Therefore, this was a battle of life and death. You and Han Jing can avoid it if you want. I don't want this to threaten you. "

Yang Yazhu looked up at Han Jing and asked uneasily, "Perhaps we …"

Han Jing interrupted her, "No! We won't leave! Back then, the reason for this matter was for your own good. However, I had to admit that my methods at that time were too extreme. I shouldn't have let you find out in that way that you forced him to make a decision. If it hadn't been for that, perhaps you wouldn't have come this far. All these years, I've always regretted it. I think I've deprived you of the chance to be happy. Now, since you're back, then let me bring you to see Pei Yaochen right now and tell him all the misunderstandings from the past. I believe that if he finds out the truth, he would destroy this engagement and let you return to him! Let's go! I'll bring you to him now! "

As he spoke, he grabbed Xia Zhi's hand and left.

Xia Zhi shook off his hand with force and said coldly: "When you saw his true face and knew that he had chosen to give up at the last moment, do you think that it is possible for us to return to the past? Even if he can, I won't allow it! As for you, that year, you made a mistake, but now you have no chance to correct it. I can forgive you. But if you can't forgive yourself, it's not my business. "

Yang Yazhu anxiously rushed forward to grab Han Jing, and said softly: "Han Jing! Are you crazy? Why do you always make things more complicated? Since Xia Zhi does not wish for us to interfere, then we will not interfere! You made an irreparable mistake last time, so why did you make the same mistake again this time? "

Han Jing lowered his head and said sorrowfully: "I just hope that they are all alright … …"
