Chapter 16 It's nice to see you again
A cool breeze had already risen at night. Before they knew it, Lin Zhihao and He Manman had been living in Qingcheng for half a year.
"Lin Zhihao!"
The students behind quickly stepped forward and patted Lin Zhihao on the shoulder.
In the past six months, although Lin Zhihao's relationship with her classmates was not as good as He Manman's, it was still different from before.
"It's my birthday today. Would you like to come to my house tonight and celebrate with me?" The girl smiled and handed the invitation to Lin Zhihao.
A birthday party? Lin Zhihao's eyes lit up. That meant lots of delicious food.
“Go!” Lin Zhihao took the invitation, nodded firmly, and her eyes shone.
This left Ou Yueyue, who was sending out the invitations, completely puzzled.
"Okay, then I'll have the housekeeper meet you at the door."
After saying that, Ou Yueyue left.
After putting the invitation in her bag, Lin Zhihao returned to the classroom.
Senior year of high school is always both boring and fulfilling, and everyone is putting in their best effort to move forward.
The wealthier a family is, the more attention they pay to cultivating their children's abilities in all aspects. Although academic performance is not the most important thing for them, most of them are very likely to take over the company in the future, and the cultivation of various skills is indispensable.
After school, Lin Zhihao changed out of her school uniform. In order to have a big meal that night, she wore a loose cotton sweatshirt and casual pants, packed her gifts, and set off.
Because He Manman was filming, Lin Zhihao did not bring her to the birthday party that evening.
"Hello, please show me your invitation."
Lin Zhihao was about to take the invitation out of her pocket when she found that there was nothing inside except for her phone and a gift.
She reached her hand directly from one end of the hoodie pocket to the other, only to find nothing there (′-﹏-`;).
"Damn it, I lost it!"
Everyone around her was looking at her, assuming she was someone trying to get into the banquet hall to freeload or even steal.
The security guards saw that Lin Zhihao couldn't produce an invitation and hadn't even come to the banquet in a formal dress, so they were about to ask her to leave.
Suddenly, a commotion arose outside the crowd.
"It's Ou Shanshan!"
A black van was parked by the red carpet, and a slender leg wearing silver-pink glittering high heels emerged from it.
Once everyone had disembarked, the crowd automatically parted to make way.
The woman walked slowly, followed by a flashy man in a suit with dyed red hair.
Who else could it be but Zhai Qingwen?
Just as the two were about to go inside, Zhai Qingwen stopped and glanced at Lin Zhihao, who had already turned all the pockets of her clothes inside out.
She smiled slightly, her lips curving upwards.
Ou Shanshan stopped walking when she didn't hear footsteps behind her.
I glanced at Lin Zhihao, who was frantically rummaging through her pockets.
"know?"
"You helped me."
"Then let her in." With that, Ou Shanshan left without looking back.
Zhai Qingwen lifted his foot and followed.
Lin Zhihao successfully entered the banquet hall, although she didn't see the butler Ou Yueyue had promised to pick her up. However, she didn't mind and went straight to the dining area.
After setting up her tray, Lin Zhihao went to a corner and quietly enjoyed her meal, her movements elegant and quick. Her hands and mouth were constantly moving, and in no time she had finished the food she had brought.
After finishing her meal, Lin Zhihao went outside the banquet hall to digest her food.
Arriving near a bamboo forest, Lin Zhihao twisted her waist and moved her legs, trying to speed up her digestion.
Lin Zhihao: You dead guts, hurry up and move!
Not far from her, two people were standing there; it was clear that they were a man and a woman.
The man leaned against the wall, while the girl waved her hands and kept talking, seemingly with a hint of urgency and excitement. The man in front of her, however, remained expressionless, his face devoid of any emotion.
"Brother Qingwen, I'm so happy you could come to my birthday party." That was Ou Yueyue's voice.
"Brother Qingwen, how long are you planning to stay at home this time? We haven't eaten together in a long time. How about we have a meal together after the banquet?"
The man did not react.
"It's okay if I don't go, but Qingwen, could you please give me your contact information? I promise I will never bother you like I did last time."
"Really! I swear!!"
Ou Yueyue made her assurances eagerly.
Seeing the girl's persistent advances, Zhai Qingwen was about to leave when he looked up and spotted Lin Zhihao not far away.
He smirked and looked at the girl in front of him with a serious expression.
“I remember telling you that I would never like you, and it’s impossible for me to like you. I only see you as a little sister. You’re still young and have plenty of time. Don’t always focus your attention on me.”
"I hope this is the last time."
After saying that, Zhai Qingwen left, leaving Ou Yueyue alone on the spot.
Ou Yueyue lowered her head, tears streaming down her face. She knew that a relationship between her and Zhai Qingwen was impossible, and that their marriage had been arranged in exchange for an investment.
But she just couldn't let go. She had liked him since she was a child. Her older sister was outstanding, and everyone's attention was drawn to her. The first thing everyone saw when they met them was always the older sister.
Her parents didn't care about her; they focused all their attention on her older sister. When Zhai Qingwen and his parents came to visit, he was the first person to notice his sister even though she was also present.
He would even wipe away her tears when she was sad. She didn't believe he had no feelings for her. Otherwise, why would he notice her first when faced with an older sister who was so much more outstanding than her?
For a long time in her life, Zhai Qingwen encouraged and guided her. As she grew up, it was natural that she came to like him, and one could even say she loved him.
Ou Yueyue wiped away her tears, tidied herself up, and returned to the banquet hall. She firmly believed that she still had plenty of time and opportunities to win over Zhai Qingwen.
Meanwhile, Lin Zhihao was trying her best to twist her body, wiggling left and right, sticking her butt out and swaying.
"Heh~" The man behind her couldn't help but make a sound when he saw Lin Zhihao's strange actions.
Lin Zhihao turned around and looked at the man who had suddenly appeared beside her.
"Little sister, it's nice to see you again." The man approached Lin Zhihao, a smile in his eyes.
"Have we met?"
Lin Zhihao was puzzled because she had never seen this red-haired man before.
Zhai Qingwen raised an eyebrow slightly.
He bent down, slowly approached Lin Zhihao, and brought his face close to hers. "Of course, why don't you take a closer look?"
Looking at the magnified face in front of him, he said, "Oh, you are... that... um... I don't remember."
Zhai Qingwen's expression froze. "..."
"Hotel, corridor, storage room"
"I remember now, it was you."
Lin Zhihao was puzzled. Logically speaking, since he was allowed to enter today's banquet, he shouldn't have been chased and beaten.
What happened to you that day?
"Oh, my old man's people."
"How about we exchange contact information?" Zhai Qingwen took out his phone and handed it to Lin Zhihao.
Lin Zhihao took it and added her on WeChat.
"Alright, I'm leaving. You can keep dancing here." Zhai Qingwen took back his phone, turned around, waved, and left with his hands in his pockets.
"..."
Lin Zhihao didn't mind and continued her digestive exercise.
