At the same time, Chen Liang said among the group of men, “Hello, Zhang Wen.”

The man who was striking up a conversation with her saw Chen Liang and instantly recognized him as the new boyfriend of the Qiao family. And now, he was actually calling another woman’s name in public?

Wasn’t this audacious?

Upon seeing this, Zhang Wen took a sip of red wine and replied, “Hello, old classmate.”

When Zhang Wen said that, the surprised men at the side immediately felt relieved. Thankfully, the two of them were classmates. Otherwise, this man would be in trouble!

In front of so many people, it was not good for Chen Liang to reveal his true self. Besides, it was not good to confront Zhang Wen in front of so many people!

Furthermore, at that moment, Zhang Wen did not show any reaction when she saw him. Instead, she looked calm. It could even be said that she was chatting and drinking red wine with interest.

Did this poor girl really think of herself as a noble lady?

Just as he was about to expose her, he suddenly thought that if he were to expose her, wouldn’t it expose the fact that he had known this poor girl from the countryside before? He couldn’t expose himself! However, he was afraid that she would embarrass him shamelessly in front of so many people later.

Immediately, he said, “President Su and Director Zhao just arrived. They’re over there. I saw you when I walked over. What a coincidence, old classmate. I didn’t expect you to be here either.”

At that moment, when they heard the mention of President Su and Director Zhao, all the men around Zhang Wen immediately dispersed towards the place that Chen Liang had mentioned.

After all, the people who came here were all here to ingratiate themselves with those two because of their reputations.

“I’m sorry, Miss. We have to go over and greet those two. We won’t disturb you two old classmates.”

“Yeah, we’re leaving first.”

Zhang Wen lowered her eyes and smiled. “Alright.”

Immediately after, she glanced at President Su and Director Zhao and instantly panicked.

Xiaowan did not say anything about this situation. Xiaowan only wanted her to attract Chen Liang’s attention and then make some small talk to stall for time. But now, it was obvious that Chen Liang wanted to be alone with her and take the opportunity to chase her out of the venue!

“What should I do? Xiaowan! I can’t handle this alone! If I don’t leave, will Chen Liang drag me away?!”

As expected, he grabbed the opportunity when the men had dispersed to greet the two men.

For a moment, only Chen Liang and Zhang Wen were left.

Immediately, Chen Liang’s face was filled with anger. He scolded in a low voice, “You shameless person, how dare you come here and ruin my work! Get out of here now. If you ruin my work, I won’t let you off! Do you know that my new girlfriend only needs to wave her hand and you’ll have a hard time in the future! And how did you get in? You must have sneaked in. No matter what you want, I’m only giving you one chance now. Get out. You’re not welcome here!”

“Otherwise, I’ll tell the security guard at the entrance that you’re not on the invitation list. You’ll be embarrassed in front of so many people!”

Instantly, Zhang Wen’s little secret was exposed in front of Chen Liang. However, she still forced herself to pretend. As long as she delayed a little longer, Xiaowan would come!

She could not afford to not hold on a little longer. No matter how flustered she was, no matter how angry she was at Chen Liang, she still remembered that this was her last chance to turn things around!

No matter what, she had to hold on until the end.

Thereafter, she forced out an awkward smile and said coldly, “Chen Liang? I think you’re thinking too much.”

Chen Liang looked at her in disbelief. She could still remain calm after being scolded by him?

Was this still the same Zhang Wen who was subservient and obeyed his orders?

“I naturally have an invitation letter here. Do you think I don’t have one just because you have an invitation letter from a woman in the industry? You can be a gigolo, but I can’t be a bimbo? Do you think you still have anything to do with me and have the right to tell me what to do? Don’t forget, we broke up a long time ago. If you say another word, I’ll call for help. When the time comes, even if I lose face, I can drag you down with me. At that time, the one who will suffer the greatest loss might not be me.”

With that said, Zhang Wen picked up the glass of red wine and pretended to be calm. In fact, her hand that was holding the glass was already trembling. Following that, she took a sip of red wine and smiled.

However, Chen Liang did not believe that a poor girl from the countryside like her could actually get hooked up with a big shot in the industry. Immediately, he felt ludicrous as he mocked, “Zhang Wen, you’re really funny. How long do you want to pretend? Do you think you can go from rags to riches just by changing your appearance? A country girl will always be a country girl. I don’t believe that a big shot in the industry will fancy you! You want to flaunt your power in front of me when you are just something that I discarded? If you don’t leave now, I won’t be polite anymore! I’m wasting my time talking to you now because of our previous relationship. However, if you don’t know what’s good for you, don’t blame me for being heartless..”
