mmed in response. After all, he had agreed to give these people a break time, and he didn't have the right to interfere.But he could tell that no one here wanted to discuss problems with him. He didn'...On the way, the two of them chatted politely for a while. This time he was going to Ningcheng. Menglan smiled and asked, “The environment there should be quite nice, right”

Of course, it's beautiful.

The car came to a halt at the red light. Han Cheng said, "Ningbo is a good place to retire. The people there are very down-to-earth. I'm thinking of buying a house there."

"It sounds so wonderful." Menglan's eyes held a touch of longing as she smiled teasingly at him, "You can certainly do that, Young Master Han. At such a young age, you're already preparing for retirement"

"Ouch, why is my neck starting to hurt"

Han Cheng frowned and rubbed his arm intentionally, sighing, "My arm doesn't feel strong anymore. Looks like if this continues, I might have to prepare for early retirement."

"Don't come any closer!" Menglan lightly patted his shoulder, chuckling softly.

A few jokes from Hancheng easily broke the silence, as if no matter how long it had been, they wouldn't feel unfamiliar with each other.

The green light came on, and Han Cheng started the car. In less than half an hour, they arrived at the VIMIS Hotel.

Jolin Tsai's birthday party was not held on a grand scale, so she only invited her family and top figures from various industries.

Meng Lan walked into the venue arm in arm with Han Cheng, and saw that almost all the guests had arrived. Some wealthy ladies were also laughing and chatting around Zheng Jingru, it was quite lively.

"Shall we go see Zheng Jingru now" Han Chang leaned in her ear to ask.

Meng Lan held the gift box, faintly 'hmm'ed, and followed him towards the center of the crowd.

Today, she was wearing a white silk strapless gown, which made her appear particularly gentle and elegant. Han Cheng beside her was wearing a white suit as well. The handsome man and beautiful woman made quite the pair, instantly attracting many eyes:

"Wow, they look so good together, are they a couple"

"I guess not."

"I know this woman. Yesterday, Feng Mu was still publicly confessing his love to her in the mall, wanting to pursue her. This quickly changed to the young master of Han Corporation "

"Damn, this woman's got some skills!"

Hearing the murmurs around them, Menglan's face wore a look of resignation. Just as she was about to loosen her grip, Hancheng pulled her closer underhandedly and whispered, "Shh, ignore them."

"Ms. Zheng."

Han Cheng walked up to Zheng Jingru and gently introduced, “Long time no see, I brought my girlfriend to visit you.”

"Thank you." As soon as the words left her lips, Zheng Jingru broke into a smile.

When she saw Menglan, her face stiffened slightly.

Meng Lan, without being too particular, handed the gift box to her with a smile and greeted her, "Ms. Zheng, happy birthday."

"Thank you."

Jolin smiled and took it. When she saw Menglan, she wasn't as excited as before, but there was still a hint of discomfort in her eyes.

Zheng Shiling opened the gift box and took out a pale purple dress. The skirt was embroidered with flowers personally stitched by Menglan, very delicate.

Suddenly, all the women surrounding her exclaimed in unison, "Wow, she's so beautiful! Jingru, you're so lucky."

Zheng Jiru's face also gained a touch of radiance, and the look in her eyes as she gazed at Menglan became less guarded. She smiled and said, "I hope I didn't cost you too much"

"No, this is something I made myself." Meng Lan replied with a smile. "Just a little thing, nothing grand. If you like it, that's all that matters."

“You did this yourself You’re so talented,” Zheng Jingru exclaimed, her face filled with surprise. She reached out to touch the dress and praised, “No wonder you're Xiaoting’s daughter. Your mother was always called a prodigy back in school. If she saw how successful you are, she would be so proud!”

Meng Lan's red lips were slightly parted, and a tinge of sadness still welled up in her heart when she heard her mother's name.

Soon, new guests arrived at the venue to greet Zheng Jingru. Menglan didn't feel comfortable asking too many questions and followed Han Cheng to the food area with him.

"You love matcha cake," Hancheng said, not knowing when he'd brought over a tray holding a slice of cake and offered it to her.

"Thank you," Meng Lan smiled as she took it, standing and taking a few bites before her small stomach began to ache again. Could it be that she had really caught a cold these past few days

Helpless, Menglan walked to the beverage area and got a steaming cup of milk tea. She sipped it slowly.

"What's wrong" Han Cheng walked over, his eyes full of concern as he stared at her.

"It's nothing, probably just a little cold. My stomach is just a bit uncomfortable." Menglan drank a few sips of milk tea and felt the pain ease slightly.

However, Ke Hancheng was not at ease. He moved a chair over for her and asked softly, “Does it hurt Do you need me to take you to the hospital”

Meng Lan couldn't help but laugh, looking at him with a hint of helplessness, "Women have their periods every month, do they have to go to the hospital"

Hearing her words, Han Cheng finally understood. A blush crept onto his handsome face, and he coughed awkwardly a few times.

Meng Lan looked at him more and more, finding him adorable. He seemed like a pure-hearted 'young lady'. She couldn't help but smile and tease him.

"Han Zong, when you have a girlfriend in the future, you'll understand."

"Cough...Even menstruation can't drink milk tea." Han Cheng took the milk tea cup from her hand, put his coat on her, and reminded softly, "Be good here and wait for me, I'll be back in a while."

Meng Lan watched his departing figure, shook her head, and let out a soft chuckle.

After sitting for a while, she felt a chill and was about to move when a mocking female voice rang out from the crowd.

"I thought this banquet would be more grand, it seems, not so much after all."

As soon as the voice fell, the scene fell silent. All eyes turned to a tall woman in the crowd.

That woman calmly walked out of the crowd, holding a red wine glass in her hand. She looked at Zheng Jingru with disdain in her eyes.

"Such a pitiful woman, abandoned like this. She used to be Mrs. Wang, but now she's been replaced and even her cheongsam looks so shabby. She's started wearing fakes."

Jolin Tsai is not someone to be trifled with. Upon hearing this, she immediately flew into a rage.

"Who are you calling a fake This qipao was given to me by my mother-in-law, made with gold thread! Your so-called good friend Xu Hui will never have this kind of privilege in her life!"

"Xu Hui is incompetent, hasn't she just taken your place" The woman sneered, her eyes full of disdain. "This gold thread obviously has steel wire mixed in, who are you trying to fool!"

The previous words pierced Zheng Jingru's heart deeply, causing her eyes to redden instantly.

She, who was always eloquent and quick-witted, at this moment, didn't know how to begin.

After all, any woman who is abandoned by a man will feel humiliated.

Menglan stood aside and seemed to understand. It looked like this troublemaking woman was Xu Hui's good friend. She suddenly came to make a scene, probably just to stand up for her friend.
