When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1384 Unrequited Love 38
Wen Huizhen couldn't quite articulate her feelings: "Back then, my parents suddenly immigrated to the United States. They left in a hurry, and I never imagined things would turn out like this."

Yu Ning sighed, "The children are all so grown up now, and you haven't come back even once in all this time?"

Wen Huizhen was speechless. Of course, she had come back during that time. But she hadn't intentionally gone looking for Jin He. If she had, the country was so small, how could she not find him?
Ultimately, she is cold-hearted at heart.

As the three of them remained silent, suddenly a woman's handbag was thrown onto the seat next to Yu Ning with a "thud," and then a woman with an imposing presence sat down next to Yu Ning.

She took off her sunglasses, glanced at Wen Che across from her, then looked at Wen Huizhen, and then grabbed Yu Ning's ear: "I don't care how you play around outside, but you actually had such a big child?"

Yu Ning was twisted so that his body shrank three inches, and he kept begging for mercy in mid-air: "Wife, wife, you misunderstood."

"This isn't my son. Look closely, those almond-shaped eyes, that high nose, those thin lips—what part of him doesn't resemble Kim Hyuk?"

Ji Yingqiu let go of Wen Che, then looked him over carefully before smiling and saying, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood."

Wen Che glanced curiously at Ji Yingqiu, then looked at Yu Ning, who was rubbing her ears beside her, and suddenly felt that Yu Ning's marriage was not so smooth.

Wen Huizhen picked up her coffee cup: "It's nothing."

With the misunderstanding cleared up, Ji Yingqiu showed no interest in Wen Huizhen and Wen Che's affair. She stood up casually: "Aren't you leaving?"

Yu Ning hurriedly followed her, and before leaving, he waved to Wen Huizhen, indicating that they could talk later.

Wen Huizhen watched Ji Yingqiu's retreating figure, a trace of pity rising in her eyes. It was undeniably tragic that Ji Yingqiu had ended up with a husband like Yu Ning.

Jin He was busy buying off his relationship with Wen Che, while Shi Cheng and Meng Qingtong were caught in a new round of on-again, off-again relationships. Shi Yuexin was studying in a neighboring city, and Chu Qian continued working as a top lawyer.

Ji Yingqiu continued to keep an eye on Yu Ning to prevent him from getting involved with any girls.

Xu Yanzhen and Zhou Jinxu are making steady progress.

Ever since Xu Yanzhen accepted his advances, Zhou Jinxu has been sending various small gifts to Xu Yanzhen's office every day. Flowers are the bare minimum, but in addition, there are all kinds of breakfasts and afternoon teas.

Later, almost all the students knew that Xu Yanzhen had a very wealthy suitor. Of course, this also indirectly achieved Zhou Jinxu's goal.

He wanted to establish a territory around Xu Yanzhen, letting others know that Rose already had a vicious dog guarding her, and that everyone else should stay away.

It was another weekend, and Xu Yanzhen received an invitation from Chu Qian to a party. The four of them were going to a friend's bar for the weekend and invited Xu Yanzhen to come along and relax.

Chu Qian: [It's a quiet bar, not noisy, just a place for people to gather and chat.]

Xu Yanzhen finally agreed; "Okay, when?"

Chu Qian: [Saturday evening, 7 PM.]

Xu Yanzhen glanced at her schedule: "Okay, I'll be there on Saturday."

Zhou Jinxu went on a business trip on Thursday and won't be back until Sunday, so it's normal for her to have a get-together with friends on Saturday.

That evening, while chatting with Zhou Jinxu, Xu Yanzhen casually mentioned her plans to meet with Chu Qian and others at a bar on Saturday. Zhou Jinxu simply told Xu Yanzhen to have fun, and after hanging up, immediately instructed his assistant to rebook her flight for Saturday. Did he really want Xu Yanzhen drinking outside? Who didn't know there were so many scoundrels out there?

On Saturday night, Xu Yanzhen took a taxi directly to the bar. When she arrived, Shi Cheng, Chu Qian, Yu Ning, and Jin He were already there. Meng Qingtong brought over a plate of fruit, and Ji Yingqiu handed her a drink, "Very punctual."

Xu Yanzhen said somewhat embarrassedly, "There was a bit of traffic. Have you been here long?"

Ji Yingqiu sat down next to Yu Ning: "We've been here for a while. You're late. How about you punish yourself with three drinks?"

Jin He was about to help Xu Yanzhen out of the predicament when she waved him off. She took off her coat, revealing a fitted short skirt underneath, which immediately attracted a lot of attention.

She has a generous personality and is obviously more relaxed when she's with girls: "Okay, then I'll punish myself with three drinks."

After downing three cocktails in a row, Xu Yanzhen remained neither flushed nor out of breath. Everyone cheered in approval. Xu Yanzhen sat down next to Ji Yingqiu, with Meng Qingtong beside her.

She sat between the two, watching them chat about their recent experiences. When she heard something interesting, she couldn't help but smile. As for speaking, she rarely did; she mostly listened quietly.

The atmosphere at the bar was indeed nice, and there was even someone singing on stage. After Xu Yanzhen went to the restroom and came back, she leaned on the armrest of the sofa and quietly listened to the singer.

Jin He wanted to find a topic to talk about, but with Chu Qian blocking his way and Ji Yingqiu watching closely, he couldn't find a chance to join in.

The party was past ten o'clock, and it was time to leave. Suddenly, a strong figure approached the booth and knelt down in front of Xu Yanzhen with a clear purpose: "Yanzhen?"

"Hmm?" Xu Yanzhen's blank thoughts were pulled back. She stared at Zhou Jinxu, who was squatting in front of her, for a long time, as if she had just recognized him.

"Jinxu?"

Seeing her alluring eyes and dazed expression, Zhou Jinxu glanced around warily, then gently brushed Xu Yanzhen's cheek with his right index finger: "How much did you drink?"

“Not much, I drank three cups…” Xu Yanzhen held up three fingers, then, as if thinking of something, she held up two more fingers: “Five cups, I didn’t drink more.”

The people in the booth stopped chatting and just quietly watched Xu Yanzhen and Zhou Jinxu. Jin He was so angry he almost crushed his wine glass; he wished he were the one in close proximity to Xu Yanzhen.

Seeing Zhou Jinxu so gentle with Xu Yanzhen, Meng Qingtong was so jealous she wanted to grind her teeth to dust. Ji Yingqiu watched this scene, glanced at Yu Ning, and suddenly realized that people are afraid of comparison.

Zhou Jinxu pressed down Xu Yanzhen's raised hand, then nodded to everyone: "Yanzhen is drunk, I'll take her home first."

Ji Yingqiu stepped forward: "Okay, I'm sorry about today. I invited her out to the party and she drank too much."

Zhou Jinxu remained silent. He bent down to pick up Xu Yanzhen, but Xu Yanzhen suddenly shrank to a corner of the sofa and said, "No, I can't go back with you."

Zhou Jinxu raised his eyebrows and asked good-naturedly, "Why can't you come back with me?"

Xu Yanzhen cautiously took her bag and shrank back: "I can't go back with you, Jinxu... Jinxu will be sad if he finds out."

"I can't let him be sad."

A smile appeared in Zhou Jinxu's eyes, and he felt a wave of tenderness wash over him. Even when Xu Yanzhen was drunk, she was worried about not hurting him, and the more he thought about it, the happier he became. He leaned closer to Xu Yanzhen and asked, "Then, Yanzhen, take a good look. Who am I?"
