The wine was enticing, and Jiang Yan went to the bathroom once during the banquet.
It just so happened that she listened again at the corner of the wall. Her hand grasping the door handle paused for a moment, leaning against the door to listen to them talk.
"That woman is quite capable, I've been watching her stay by Mr. Ruan's side for many years, and it's still her now."
"No matter how many ways there are, Mr. Ruan still didn't marry her."
"Mr. Ren is not an advocate of celibacy, is he?"
"It's just you who believes it, what a non-marriage believer, they're all just deceiving people, after all, still haven't met the right one."
"Just wait and see, in two years that woman's youth will be gone, men are all like that, think about it, back then Mr. Ruan was so good to her, he really thought she could enter the wealthy family with one foot, but what happened?"
"Right, and wasn't there a Miss Cao a few years ago? I heard they were both engaged, but didn't he still dump her?"
Jiang Yan listlessly listened to the conversation between the two women outside, fiddling with her fingernails.
She didn't mean to listen in, but now she feels it's quite awkward to go out.
She's embarrassed, others are also embarrassed.
It was just when she heard the three words "fiancée" that she subconsciously broke her fingernail.

When Jiang Yan came back, she found that her bowl was already piled up like a mountain, all of which were picked by Ruan Jianglin for her.
When will he care about her like this again? If he cared so much, where would a certain Miss Cao's fiancée come from?
She had a smile on her face, but was unusually cold to others.
Just moved chopsticks, but there was no appetite at all, and they were put down heavily again.
She doesn't want to stay here anymore, she wants to leave.
Her good mood was ruined again by others, and she couldn't even bear to look at Ruan Jianglin.
If Ruan Jianglin knew that it was because of those two women that Jiang Yan got angry, he would probably rush over and tear their faces off on the spot.
"What's wrong, don't you feel like eating?" He asked her sideways.
Jiang Yan didn't say a word, she just stared straight at the man, her face too cold.
"People don't quite agree with me," she said.
It just so happened that everyone's attention was focused on the two of them, it just so happened that they had quieted down at that moment, and it just so happened that her voice was neither loud nor soft, making everyone hear it.
Mo Zi Bai was not very happy, and he stretched out his foot to lightly kick the chair beside him, making a noise. His tone was disdainful: "Hmph, someone has given you a few points of face, but you still have the nerve to come here and look for trouble."
He spoke with ulterior motives, obviously referring to Jiang Yan.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward, no one dared to speak, Ruan Jianglin's face sank, his complexion not very good-looking, listening to Mo Zibai's words and frowning.
Jiang Yan smiled, "Ruan Jianglin, your brother scolded me."
"Who the hell scolded you, can't you just calm down?" Mo Zibai said with a raised tone, his face full of impatience, he couldn't stand Jiang Yan's current appearance with her nose up in the air.
Ruan Jianglin was willing to indulge her, but he was unwilling.
"We're leaving." Ruan Jiang stood up, took her bag and put his arm around the woman, ready to go.
Jiang Yan used force to shake off Ruan Jiang, who was about to hold her hand. The timing was just right, and his hand hit the edge of the wooden table with a loud thud, looking painful.
The man was silent and didn't utter a word.
Mo Zi Bai felt suffocated in his heart, who was he, he was a person that others would call "Mr. Ruan", how could he live like a turtle grandson in front of her.
Mo Zi Bai still couldn't stand Ruan Jiang Lin's appearance.
"Ruan Jianglin, are you a bootlicker?"
What kind of person can't he get? He waves his hand and they come to him, but what is this situation now? From childhood friends who have grown up together, accustomed to seeing Ruan Jianglin's arrogant appearance, in the past, others could only be humble and courteous to him, and now it has become a scene of what kind.
Mo Zi Bo's heart was filled with a kind of suffocating anger and resentment that iron could not be made into steel.
Jiang Yan's mouth was curved with a smile as he gazed at Ruan Jianglin, but his eyes, like deep pools, revealed nothing of his intentions.
"Ruan Jianglin, they say you are a bootlicker."
His complexion wasn't very good, and he pursed his thin lips. Jiang Yan snorted a laugh, took her bag from him - he hadn't handed it over before - and pulled on it slightly before turning around and leaving without looking back.
Ruan Jianglin kept looking at her receding figure until she disappeared from view in the corridor.
The man pulled the tablecloth and overturned the table. Today was originally Mo Zibai's birthday, he just wanted to simply bring her here for a meal and reintroduce them.
They all deliberately went against his wishes, and every single sentence was meant to annoy him and scare off the girl he had finally coaxed over.
It's as if they can't bear to see him doing well.
Since Mo Zi Bo's grandson doesn't want to spend his birthday properly, then don't celebrate it.
He stared at Mo Zi Bai with a gloomy tone, "I just love licking her, what's wrong?"
He grabbed the car keys and quickly walked out, muttering to himself: "What's it to you people? Mind your own business. You're all so nosy, what a bunch of *** people, just looking for something to do because you're full and have nothing better to do."
He scolded non-stop until the person left and then stopped being heard.
It's not just Mo Zi Bai, Ye Chen's face doesn't look good either. Originally, the three of them had a good relationship, but because of one woman, it has become like this, is it really worth it?
Mo Zi Bai is the same, no matter how you put it, Ruan Jianglin wants to humiliate himself and find fault with others. He clearly knows that those things are a sore spot for Ruan Jianglin, so why bring them up?
Mo Zi Bai directly smashed the wine cup in front of him to pieces, he was really full and had nothing better to do than to care about a madman's business.
Everyone present didn't dare to speak anymore, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.
They were having a lively meal just now, how did it end up like this with everyone leaving in discontent?
Two women in the corner looked at each other, but didn't dare to say a word, afraid of stirring up trouble, even their breathing became softer, trying to lower their presence.
Mo Zi Bo's thirty-third birthday was ruined because of Jiang Yan and Ruan Jiang Lin.
*
Ruan Jiang left without seeing Jiang Yan again.
Jiang Yan said she didn't want to smell the wine, after hearing Jiang Yan's words, he didn't drink tonight, but she was still not satisfied.
Ruan Jianglin felt somewhat at a loss, a sense of frustration and disappointment surged up from his heart, occupying all his thoughts.
The location here is biased and not easy to take a taxi.
She's wearing high heels and walking on the road must be uncomfortable, will she sprain her ankle.
She didn't eat anything tonight, and her stomach will hurt again.
She's also wearing thin clothes, won't she catch a cold if it gets windy? She's not someone who easily catches a cold, but once she does, no medicine seems to work.
She's also in a bad mood and will definitely ignore him later, maybe even block his WeChat again.
She would not take Mo Zi Bai's words to heart and was lost in thought alone.
How long will he have to coax her this time and how much thought will he have to put in to make her attitude slightly better.
He even wondered if Jiang Yan would leave again this time and go where? Canada? Australia?
It's all done, don't worry.
