Walking out of Ruan Zeyan’ office, Ling Tianya took a gander at the big guard and the small guard who were following behind.
“Do they have to follow me all the time?” Ling Tianya asked.
The small body guard looked up with anticipation and waited for Ruan Zeyan to answer.
“Yes.”
A simple word instantly quenched all the body guard’s hopes.
Ling Tianya turned around and looked at him. He didn’t have time to hide the disappointment in his eyes, which she saw clearly.
There was a high-end French restaurant where a reservation was always required to dine there, except for Ruan Zeyan. Year round, there was an empty table at the restaurant reserved exclusively for him.
When Ruan Zeyan and Ling Tianya came in, some people were arguing with the restaurant host at the door.
Ruan Zeyan didn’t even look and walked right past the people with Ling Tianya.
Ling Tianya had a feeling that the woman wearing a black lace hat looked exactly like Guan Meiyi.
Suddenly, the man who was arguing with the host stopped the quarrel and hurried up to block the way of Ruan Zeyan and Ling Tianya.
Their bodyguards quickly stood in front the man and stared at him coldly.
Apparently, the man didn’t expect to be treated like that. His face went stiff for a moment before he put on a flattery smile. “Mr. Ruan, we’re all family here. I just wanted to come say hello.”
Hearing the man’s words, Ruan Zeyan slowly lifted his eyes and his gaze finally fell on the flamboyant man.
The man looked back at the restaurant host and raised his head proudly. “Today, I am definitely eating here. Did you say there was no table? Look, my brother-in-law is here. You know who my brother-in-law is, right? Is there a table for me now?”
Brother-in-law?
What kind of joke was that? According to Ling Tianya’s knowledge, Ruan Zeyan had no sister. Even if it was a sister-in-law from the extended family, nobody dared to directly address Ruan Zeyan as brother-in-law in public.
So, who was the man?
That time, Ling Tianya once again noticed the woman who was standing nearby trying to be invisible.
When the host heard that the person dared to call Ruan Zeyan his brother-in-law, they were all puzzled by his identity. Not knowing what to do, they just turned to look at Ruan Zeyan.
A trace of disgust emerged on Ruan Zeyan’s emotionless face. He said coldly, “Who are you?”
The man smiled and replied, “I am He Zhenxuan. Brother-in-law, you must be too busy and don’t recognize me. I am Guan Meiyi’s fiancé. We are getting married in two weeks. Aren’t you coming to our wedding?”
He Zhenxuan? Ling Tianya finally realized that the flamboyantly dressed man was He Zhenxuan. His peculiar fashion sense made him look more like a male dancer from a strip club.
That meant the woman with a black lace hat was indeed Guan Meiyi!
Noticing that Ling Tianya must have recognized her, Guan Meiyi walked over with her hat pulled down and pulled on He Zhenxuan’s arm. “Forget it, let’s find another restaurant.”
He Zhenxuan pushed Guan Meiyi away, “Why should we? Didn’t you say that you want to eat here? Then let’s eat here! Our brother-in-law is here too. We can eat together! We’re going to be a family soon anyway.”
At that time, Guan Meiyi, whose face was hidden behind the lace, was extremely embarrassed. She did not expect to run into Ruan Zeyan and Ling Tianya there. If she knew it was going to happen, she would never have come.
It was pure irony that they saw her with He Zhenxuan in that circumstance.
Every time He Zhenxuan said the word brother-in-law, Guan Meiyi’s face turned a shade paler, and her hand gripped He Zhenxuan’s arm a bit tighter.
“I really don’t want to eat here. Let’s go!” Guan Meiyi desperately tried to pull He Zhenxuan away, because it was only humiliation if they stayed.
Ruan Zeyan didn’t want to pay much attention to them. He probably guessed that the woman was Guan Meiyi, so he just ignored the brashness of He Zhenxuan and continued walking Ling Tianya into the restaurant.
“Brother-in-law…” He Zhenxuan still wanted to stop Ruan Zeyan, but his arm was tightly held by Guan Meiyi. Suddenly, He Zhenxuan’s face changed. His hand flew into the air and he slapped Guan Meiyi on the face.
