All men are men, who can really be more noble than another?
Not only did he have scandals with women that made it to the trending searches, but wherever he was, there were always a few such women following him.
It was just that they weren't sitting on his lap, but the way they were acting, any man could tell what it meant.
What a pity for these two girls, not only couldn't they eat, but they also had to pour wine for him.
Director Xie felt a little unaccustomed to this and smiled, saying, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard. It's all I should do."
"How old are you this year? Which school are you from?"
"Twenty. Film Academy."
"Mr. Zhan is bringing you out to broaden your horizons and gain experience. He's really putting in a lot of effort."
"Yes, it's an opportunity many people would dream of. We have to thank Mr. Zhan."
After pouring the wine, the girls retreated, and Jiang Nan Fang couldn't help but complain in her heart.
He's getting more and more into it. Film academy students? Hmph. Once the fig leaf was ripped off, he stopped caring about his reputation completely.
Look at how he used to pretend.
"Except for you, I haven't touched any other woman. Anyone who comes near me makes me sick."
Thinking of those ridiculous words made her feel stupider than a pig.
She didn't even want his assets when they divorced.
What kind of backbone was that!
If you don't spend it, other women will find ways to spend it for you! Who knows how much will be left when the children grow up!
She had originally wanted to part ways gracefully, to maintain an image of strength and independence in Zhan Bei Jue's heart for the sake of their children.
But through today's events, she had completely woken up.
There was no need. Talking about self-respect with someone shameless was simply false pride.
It was useless except for self-gratification!
After this weekend, she would go find him to ask for money and get back what was rightfully hers, not a penny less! She wouldn't let this scumbag benefit!
After three rounds of drinks and most of the meal consumed, the topics had been discussed, and it was time to wrap up.
But Zhan Bei Jue hadn't achieved his goal yet, so he proposed before the end of the gathering that the two young ladies perform a show to liven things up.
"They're from the Film Academy. Someone went to great lengths to find me, asking me to mentor them and give them more opportunities to gain experience."
"Since the two of them are here today, it wouldn't be right to have them just standing around. How about this, you perform a show for all the leaders here."
"If you like it, give them a round of applause. If not, just pretend nothing happened. We're just here to have some fun, what do you say?"
With a wife present and the father of a good friend, having two young women perform was truly inappropriate.
But no one wanted to refuse Zhan Bei Jue.
The two young ladies were bold and readily agreed to sing and dance, quickly heating up the atmosphere.
Everyone cooperated by clapping.
"Good, we'll be counting on you to produce more good works in the future to cleanse our eyes."
At this point, the two could have made their exit.
But Zhan Bei Jue didn't let them leave. Instead, he turned his gaze to Jiang Nan Fang, who was sitting opposite, seemingly uninvolved.
She seemed particularly interested in the hot and sour soup tonight, having already had two bowls.
While others performed, she was drinking soup.
Just as she finished the last spoonful in her bowl, Director Xie took the bowl and was about to refill it for her.
It was then that Zhan Bei Jue spoke.
"As far as I know, Director Xie is not married yet. I wonder if you have someone you fancy."
Director Xie's hand paused slightly. He wondered why the conversation suddenly turned to this.
Could he be trying to offer him the girls from tonight?
"Mr. Zhan, why do you suddenly ask this?"
"It's nothing. A beautiful night, talented people, it naturally made me think of it."
Zhan Bei Jue smiled faintly.
"I just wanted to let you know that I know the lady next to you. If you two want to develop a relationship, I can help introduce you."
The two had not exchanged a single word from head to toe, and when they first came in, Zhan Bei Jue seemed to look down on Jiang Nan Fang.
Director Xie certainly didn't expect them to know each other.
Zhan Bei Jue was determined to clash with Jiang Nan Fang today.
The atmosphere was being set perfectly, and he just wanted to make it awkward.
All eyes turned to Jiang Nan Fang.
With no other choice, she had to put down her soup spoon and sit up straight.
Zhan Bei Jue: "Ms. Jiang, aren't you going to say hello to me?"
Say hello to your sister.
Crazy.
Is having an ex-husband like you something to be proud of?
Jiang Nan Fang sneered, "Mr. Zhan is so busy with work that he forgets easily. How could I know if you still remember me."
"Ms. Jiang is too polite. No matter how busy I am, I can forget anyone but you."
He turned and scanned the crowd.
"Perhaps everyone doesn't know yet, but I was married before, though my spouse was never publicly revealed."
"Why? Because Ms. Jiang always argued with me, we broke up and got back together many times. Although we already have a child, our relationship has always been strained."
"You're eating and drinking here now, who is taking care of the children?"
Director Xie's eyes widened.
He never expected that the young woman who had been so low-key throughout the evening and had instantly charmed him was Zhan Bei Jue's ex-wife.
The child Zhan Bei Jue had rumored about was born to her!
Jiang Nan Fang didn't know what his intentions were in saying this at this moment.
But she knew that Zhan Bei Jue was determined to make her unhappy tonight.
She really wanted to pick up the soup in front of her and smash it over his head!
"The children are older now and need to learn to be independent. They can take care of themselves. If Mr. Zhan is worried, he can personally take care of them."
"But you're probably too busy. You're taking this young lady out to broaden her horizons today, the next day you'll be securing resources for that young lady, and the day after that you'll be sending other young ladies abroad for gilded education. You're very busy."
He wanted exactly this attitude from her, and Zhan Bei Jue smiled with a smirk.
"You know my affairs so clearly, could it be that you still have feelings for me?"
Still have feelings for you?
"Mr. Zhan is overthinking."
Jiang Nan Fang continued to sneer.
"I know myself. I can't sing, I can't dance, and I can't act cute. I'm not suitable to be your canary, and I'm not interested in your birdcage. What you're thinking is impossible."
"That's good. Twice in two weeks, I've run into you in the same place. I thought you still had feelings for me and were deliberately trying to approach me."
"Since we've cleared things up face-to-face today, I'm relieved. You two continue, I won't disturb you."
After speaking, Zhan Bei Jue maliciously added.
"Oh, sorry, one more reminder, Ms. Jiang, today's lipstick color doesn't suit you very well."
"If I remember correctly, you're almost 30, such a bright pink color..."
He shook his head, making a look of speechlessness.
Chen Jiao Jiao had heard gossip from Zhou Jin Bei a few days ago, saying that her brother and sister-in-law seemed to have reconciled, and they were waiting to eat their wedding candy again.
But what was she seeing today!
She had seen his gentle side, how he doted on Jiang Nan Fang, how his eyes held no one but her.
And now, looking again.
He was so heartless, so aggressive, as if he had completely changed souls. She felt angry on behalf of Jiang Nan Fang.
She wanted to splash the wine in front of her onto his face!
Fortunately, Jiang Nan Fang did it herself.
