Ye Chen was afraid Chen Qingqing might feel embarrassed, so he stopped asking further questions.
The car drove for less than an hour and arrived at Wanda Hotel.
Liu Ziwei had been waiting at the hotel entrance for a long time, worried that Chen Qingqing might get lost again due to her poor sense of direction.
Looking at her watch, she thought, "Why hasnРІР‚в„ўt that girl Chen Qingqing arrived yet? Could she be lost?"
Just as Liu Ziwei was about to make a call, a supercar she couldnРІР‚в„ўt name suddenly appeared before her.
The car door opened, and Ye Chen stepped out, walking around in a gentlemanly manner to Chen QingqingРІР‚в„ўs side.
Seeing Liu Ziwei standing there, Chen Qingqing extended her delicate hand to rest on his large hand and gracefully walked out of the car.
Seeing the girl in the evening dress stepping out of the car, Liu ZiweiРІР‚в„ўs eyes widened in surprise.
She never expected Chen Qingqing to arrive in such a high-end sports car.
Thinking back to college, this girl was completely focused on her studies and wasnРІР‚в„ўt good at socializing, how could she find such a wealthy boyfriend?
Chen Qingqing noticed Liu Ziwei too and walked over with Ye Chen.
"Qingqing, you finally came. I thought you got lost—who is this?" Liu Ziwei asked intentionally.
The Ye Chen in front of her was so handsome that even Liu Ziwei, who had seen countless handsome men, was amazed.
She even slightly regretted getting engaged to her current boyfriend, as the young man before her was both good-looking and wealthy—what a prince in every woman’s heart.
"Ziwei, let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend, Ye Chen," Chen Qingqing said, trying to sound as natural as possible.
"Hello, Ye Chen, IРІР‚в„ўm QingqingРІР‚в„ўs college roommate, Liu Ziwei. Nice to meet you here," Liu Ziwei said generously, extending her hand.
Out of politeness, Ye Chen extended his hand with a smile and said, "Hello Miss Liu, IРІР‚в„ўve heard Qingqing mention you. Seeing you today, you truly live up to your reputation."
Ye Chen said randomly, playing along.
Chen Qingqing glanced at Ye Chen, thinking, "When did I mention my roommate to you?"
Ye Chen also glanced at her, as if saying, "Not bad acting, right?"
Seeing the two exchanging glances, Liu Ziwei felt like a third wheel.
"Alright, everyone is waiting inside, letРІР‚в„ўs hurry in," Liu Ziwei quickly said.
"No, Ziwei, Ye Chen has some things to take care of. He just dropped me off here," Chen Qingqing said with a smile.
Ye Chen thought, "I donРІР‚в„ўt have any plans, I can join in."
Before Ye Chen could speak, Chen Qingqing hugged him and said, "Drive safely, dear."
Then she pulled Liu ZiweiРІР‚в„ўs hand and said, "Ziwei, letРІР‚в„ўs go."
Watching the two beautiful women leave, Ye Chen stood there dumbfounded.
That sudden hug had indeed surprised him.
Ye Chen got back into his car, deciding to leave.
As he drove away, he suddenly thought about Chen Qingqing’s unusual behavior—calling him "dear" and giving him a hug in front of her roommate.
Surely, Chen Qingqing meant for him to pretend to be her boyfriend, to join the engagement party.
She probably felt awkward saying it directly, so she acted it out in front of her roommate, making Liu Ziwei think Chen Qingqing had a boyfriend.
But since Chen Qingqing let him go, it showed she could handle herself.
"Qingqing, your boyfriend is so handsome," Liu Ziwei exaggeratedly praised.
Chen Qingqing forced a smile, knowing it was all fake, that Ye Chen wasnРІР‚в„ўt her boyfriend.
The two walked into the banquet hall, noticing it was just Chen Qingqing and Liu Ziwei.
A flashy girl asked, "Qingqing, whereРІР‚в„ўs your boyfriend? Why hasnРІР‚в„ўt he come?"
"He just dropped me off, heРІР‚в„ўs got things to handle first," Chen Qingqing answered with a smile.
The girlРІР‚в„ўs boyfriend joked, "I thought all the girls were bringing their boyfriends, I wanted to get to know them."
Chen Qingqing didnРІР‚в„ўt reply, only smiled slightly.
"Hey, why isnРІР‚в„ўt Zhao Yue here yet?"
As the words fell, a proud girl walked in, followed by a man.
The girl was none other than Zhao Yue mentioned earlier.
Zhao Yue smiled at everyone and said, "Sorry, there was traffic, IРІР‚в„ўm late."
Actually, Zhao Yue wasn’t late, just the last to arrive—she was merely being polite.
"Just in time," Liu Ziwei smiled.
Zhao Yue glanced around and suddenly noticed one girl alone.
Despite the years, Zhao Yue recognized the girl named Chen Qingqing, not for any other reason than they had a grudge in college.
Zhao Yue was a person who held grudges, seeing Zhao Yue today, how could she let her off easily?
Plus, she noticed that since she came in, her boyfriend Xu Kai had been watching Chen Qingqing.
In her view, she was the prettiest among the six roommates, how could her boyfriend fancy her roommate?
This made her more annoyed.
"Qingqing, weРІР‚в„ўve all brought boyfriends, why didnРІР‚в„ўt you bring yours? HavenРІР‚в„ўt you found one all these years?" Zhao Yue taunted.
"I, I..." Chen Qingqing stuttered.
Being slow to react and not good at conversing, she tripped over her words.
Liu Ziwei laughed and said, "Yueyue, I just saw at the entrance, a very charming, wealthy boyfriend dropped Qingqing off and left for something urgent."
Hearing Liu ZiweiРІР‚в„ўs explanation, Chen Qingqing felt grateful.
"Ziwei, saying this is interesting; heРІР‚в„ўs sent to the door, why leave? Is his task really so urgent?" Zhao Yue laughed.
She then asked everyone, "DonРІР‚в„ўt you think IРІР‚в„ўm right?"
Hearing Zhao YueРІР‚в„ўs words, everyone nodded, agreeing with her.
Chen Qingqing opened her mouth to speak, but Zhao Yue didnРІР‚в„ўt give her the chance.
She continued, "I think thereРІР‚в„ўs only one possibility, that man isnРІР‚в„ўt QingqingРІР‚в„ўs boyfriend, but someone she hired."
Immediately, Chen QingqingРІР‚в„ўs expression grew unpleasant; during college, Zhao Yue had always opposed her, now wanting to expose her publicly.
Though furious, she couldnРІР‚в„ўt show it in front of so many people.
However, Chen QingqingРІР‚в„ўs clumsy tongue couldnРІР‚в„ўt compete with Zhao Yue, she simply repeated, "I, I, I..."
Seeing Chen QingqingРІР‚в„ўs reaction, everyone was more convinced Zhao Yue was right.
"Yueyue, saying this before all these people is a bit much, isnРІР‚в„ўt it?" Liu Ziwei was also displeased with Zhao YueРІР‚в„ўs behavior.
"Ziwei, youРІР‚в„ўve misunderstood me, my intention was to reveal Qingqing felt embarrassed, uncomfortable telling everyone, so we could introduce someone to her, do you agree?" Zhao Yue still smiled.
Chen Qingqing truly admired Zhao Yue; this woman spoke both good and bad things freely and still acted the part of a good person.
