"Come on, Juanzi, I ordered all your favorites." In the state-owned restaurant, Zheng Peng said dotingly to Gu Juan, "As for Gu Lingling, donāt worry, Iāll definitely help you get revenge."
"Pengzi, you treat me so well," Gu Juan said coquettishly.
"Juanzi?"
Suddenly, a voice came from behind Gu Juan, making her body stiffen. She didnāt move.
This voice... could it be?
"What? Gu Juan, not even a year has passed, and youāve forgotten about me?" The owner of the voice came over, placing a hand on Gu Juanās chair as he leaned closer and said, "Juanzi?"
Gu Juan took a breath before turning her head, and sure enough, she saw Zhou Ting smiling at her.
Even though she didnāt work with Zhou Ting for long, Gu Juan knew him to some extent. When he was a captain in the Youth Brigade, people gave him the nickname āSmiling Tigerā.
On the surface, he was all affable smiles, but privately, who knows what big trick he was planning to pull on you.
When Gu Juan first entered the Youth Brigade, she was quite apprehensive of this for a while.
"Captain Zhou, youāve... youāve come back?" Gu Juan smiled timidly, leaning back to maintain as much distance from Zhou Ting as possible.
"Yeah, just came back to take a look." Zhou Ting smiled, dragging a stool to sit between Gu Juan and Zheng Peng, "And who might this be? Juanzi, arenāt you going to introduce us?"
The humiliation from last winter, how could he possibly forget it?
It was only because something happened to their family in the Capital City, and his father wanted him to dodge the limelight for a while, so the whole family moved back there.
But he never forgot this grudge, waiting for a day to come back for revenge.
"This is Zheng Peng from the transformer factory, my boyfriend." Gu Juan tried to calm herself with a smile, "Pengzi, this is Captain Zhou Ting, who I mentioned used to take care of me when I was in the Youth Brigade."
"Captain Zhou, Iāve heard so much about you," Zheng Peng said with a smile, "Why not join us for a meal since weāve bumped into each other?"
"No, you two enjoy your meal." Zhou Ting stood up lazily and said, "Juanzi, letās catch up another day."
This was a clear sign he didnāt want to dine with Zheng Peng.
Zheng Pengās smile froze momentarily.
Being the son of Secretary Zheng of the transformer factory, itās rare for people to not give him face.
"Captain Zhou, you must be busy." Gu Juan naturally caught the hint in his words and said with a forced smile.
"Juanzi, I find that upon my return, youāre acting distant with me," Zhou Ting glanced at Zheng Peng with a smile but said nothing more before standing up to leave.
Back then, if those people hadnāt come in suddenly, Gu Juan would probably have been... with him.
Who would have thought that in less than a year, so many things had changed?
But... everything that belongs to him will remain his.
Wherever Zhou Ting lost face, heāll reclaim it there.
Boyfriend?
Ha... Zhou Ting didnāt even know what a boyfriend meant. All he knew was that any woman he set his eyes on, no one else should dare to take away, unless he got tired and didnāt want her anymore.
"Letās eat," Zheng Peng said indifferently.
"Pengzi, I... I really have nothing to do with him," Gu Juan said aggrievedly.
She never imagined Zhou Ting would come back, and to meet him in such a situation made Gu Juan recall those months at the Youth Brigade.
No... her good days had just begun; she absolutely couldnāt let Zhou Ting ruin them.
Even if Zhou Tingās family background seemed more imposing than Zheng Pengās.
But his character was just too terrifying.
