Chapter 402 I regret provoking this man!
The person who came was naturally Yan Zhixu.
He had been keeping an eye on the group of women. At first, everything was fine, but suddenly things got chaotic, and some women were making a lot of noise, as if they were targeting Liang Liangwei. He then stubbed out his cigarette, left the bosses who were flattering him, and walked over to his girlfriend.
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone's eyes turned to him.
His gaze was fixed on Liang Liangwei, carefully scrutinizing her expression.
Liang Liangwei asked in surprise, "Why did you come here?"
Yan Zhixu was relieved to be sure that she hadn't been wronged. He reached out and straightened the coat he was wearing on her, then pulled her into his arms and said softly, "I heard the noise over here, so I came to check."
Liang Liangwei felt a warmth in her heart and smiled at him: "It's okay, we were having a good chat."
Someone said sarcastically, "Yes, we were having a nice chat with Miss Liang when Miss He suddenly went crazy and started talking rudely to Miss Liang. Mrs. He said she was in a bad mood. How old is she? Why would she throw a tantrum in public when she's in a bad mood?"
"Exactly! If my daughter did that, I'd slap her twice!"
Yan Zhixu's expression was solemn as he coldly looked at He Yaxiu and said, "Targeting my girlfriend? Miss He, why don't you tell me why you're targeting my girlfriend? What did she do to you? Why don't you take your anger out on me and see?"
Sprinkle it on him? Has she gone mad?
He Yaxiu felt herself trembling all over as the man stared at her with eyes that seemed to be looking at a dead hunter. She felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, cold and shaking.
Compared to these wealthy ladies, the He family was merely an ordinary nouveau riche, so no one at the scene gave the mother and daughter a friendly look.
Immediately, someone sneered, "Mr. Yan, this woman said she went on a blind date with you and was rejected. That's probably why she's unhappy tonight when she finds out Miss Liang is your girlfriend, and that's why she's targeting Miss Liang."
He Yaxiu glared at the woman, both angry and embarrassed: "When did I say that..."
"But you yourself admitted to being rejected by President Yan, right? And everyone has heard that you were targeting Miss Liang, right?"
He Yaxiu was speechless.
Yan Zhixu asked Liang Liangwei with a stern face, "How did she target you?"
Liang Liangwei didn't want that embarrassing incident brought up again, so she quickly said, "It's nothing, it's not important, we'll talk about it when we get back..."
She subtly pulled Yan Zhixu's hand, putting pressure on him, her eyes conveying the message that he should stop asking questions.
Yan Zhixu understood and stopped dwelling on that point.
He glanced at He Yaxiu and said, "Did I reject you?"
He narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment before saying, "Probably, I can't remember clearly, but Miss He was so emotionally unstable in public, so it was normal for me to refuse you back then."
Several people in the crowd burst out laughing.
He Yaxiu's face turned pale and bluish, and she felt ashamed to face anyone.
She regretted getting involved with Liang Liangwei, and she regretted getting involved with this man!
Mrs. He was also quite frightened. She quickly grabbed her daughter's hand and said to Yan Zhixu with a forced smile, "Mr. Yan, it's all my daughter's fault tonight. Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against her. I'll have her apologize to Miss Liang..."
He Yaxiu: "Mom, I won't—"
"Shut up!" Mrs. He pinched her waist hard and glared at her fiercely. "Apologize!"
Liang Liangwei: "There's no need to apologize. It's too much to ask Miss He to apologize. She definitely isn't sincere, and even if she did apologize, I wouldn't accept it."
Mrs. He was caught in a dilemma and felt very embarrassed. She forced a smile and said, "I'm so sorry, Miss Liang..."
Yan Zhixu: "If Mrs. He really feels sorry, why not just take your daughter away? I'm sure you won't be in the mood to stay for tonight's auction."
Mrs. He: "Yes, yes, I'll take her away right away."
They dragged the reluctant He Yaxiu away.
Once the troublesome person was gone, the ladies immediately changed their attitude, greeting Yan Zhixu with smiles.
"Ms. Yan, it's a real honor to meet you today. My husband is..."
"Mr. Yan, your girlfriend is so beautiful, she's such a perfect match for you. I am..."
"Mr. Yan, you really stood up for your girlfriend, that's so admirable! Our family and the Yan family have been cooperating for over ten years..."
Yan Zhixu replied politely but distantly, "Thank you, the auction is about to begin, I won't spoil your enjoyment."
He put his arm around Liang Liangwei's waist and turned to leave.
Xiao Ling followed Liang Liangwei and whispered, "Zhixu, I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of Weiwei and she suffered."
Liang Liangwei quickly said, "Sister-in-law, please don't say that. Yan Zhixu, you never let me suffer any injustice; you've always protected me."
Yan Zhixu's expression softened, and she said gently, "I know, sister-in-law, don't blame yourself. Don't take the blame for other people's mistakes. My brother just went to the restroom and should be back soon. Please go over there."
Seeing that he wasn't angry, Xiao Ling breathed a sigh of relief, said a few more words, and went to find her husband.
Yan Zhixu sat down next to Liang Liangwei, their fingers intertwined, and asked in a low voice, "What exactly happened just now? Why was that woman targeting you?"
Liang Liangwei twitched her lips and said, "It's just... she said that I used to be with Yan Bei'an, and now I'm with you, saying that I'm not a good person. But my sister-in-law and I have both denied it, and no one else believes it, so don't take it to heart."
Yan Zhixu's face darkened: "We shouldn't have let her leave so easily!"
Liang Liangwei: "In the end, she didn't get anything good out of it. She left in a very messy way, which must have been painful for her."
Yan Zhixu looked at her and asked, "How did she find out about you and Bei'an? Didn't you two keep it a secret?"
Liang Liangwei pursed her lips and remained silent.
We can't just betray Xiao Ling, can we?
Yan Zhixu sensed something and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Hmm?"
Liang Liangwei nudged him and said, "Oh, don't ask anymore. I won't tell you anyway. It's just a misunderstanding. A smart person should turn a blind eye."
Yan Zhixu was amused and annoyed: "Helping you vent your anger makes me seem unintelligent?"
Liang Liangwei glared at him: "It's not smart of you to keep asking. Do I really have to spell it out for you?"
Yan Zhixu squeezed her hand and hummed softly, "Fine, I'll listen to you and won't ask anymore."
He handed her the booklet: "Take a look, see if there's anything you like, so we can take pictures later."
Liang Liangwei took the booklet and flipped through it. It was full of exquisite and rare jewelry, and she was quickly drawn to it, turning the pages one by one.
Yan Zhixu sat quietly, watching her reaction. Whenever her eyes lit up, he would glance at the item being auctioned.
"Anyone you like?"
Liang Liangwei pointed to an Australian white pearl necklace and said with a smile, "This necklace is nice, it goes very well with the cheongsam dress I'm wearing today."
Yan Zhixu smiled and said, "Hmm, you have good taste."
Seeing that he didn't seem surprised at all, a thought struck her, and she asked, "Was it this necklace that you said you wanted to bid on for me before?"
