Chapter 22: Excuse me, I’m married.

Hao Tingting also looked down upon Meng Tian’s arrogant demeanor. What was she so proud of? She was just relying on her uncle’s position as a high-ranking executive in the company to get a job. What was so great about that?

After everyone took their seats, Wang Rui walked in with An Jinghao.

He always had a carefree smile on his face, as if he were the main character in this kind of social gathering.

Lin Yuan also saw his smile and, for some reason, felt a little uneasy.

This time, An Jinghao didn’t come alone. He stepped aside slightly, and Jiang Mingyou appeared in everyone’s view behind him.

Lin Yuan’s eyes lit up.

She had just met her university senior yesterday, and she didn’t expect to see him again so soon.

An Jinghao’s gaze swept over Lin Yuan’s face, then he turned to Jiang Mingyou and greeted him, “Mr. Jiang, please take a seat.”

Wang Rui knew Jiang Mingyou, of course.

The Jiang family was also part of Yancheng’s upper class. Jiang Mingyou, the only son of the Jiang family, took over the company at a young age and had some real talent.

Wang Rui had been wanting to collaborate with the Jiang family, and he didn’t expect to be introduced by An Jinghao.

Hao Tingting tugged at Lin Yuan’s arm, “Yuan, this Mr. Jiang is so handsome.”

Not only handsome, but also young. He looked exceptionally gentlemanly.

Such a handsome and wealthy man made the female employees of Arye flutter with excitement.

And the most excited of them all was Meng Tian.

From the moment Jiang Mingyou entered the room, she had been staring at him with a dazed expression, her gaze following him wherever he went.

“Senior, what a coincidence.”

Jiang Mingyou looked over and saw a girl who wasn’t exactly pretty, resting her chin in her hand and looking at him shyly, calling him senior.

He nodded slightly, “You’re from Yanda University too?”

Meng Tian nodded eagerly, “I’m a few years younger than you, senior.”

Jiang Mingyou’s face held his usual warmth, and he smiled and responded a few times. Then, he walked past the crowd, his gaze accurately stopping on Lin Yuan, and he nodded to her across the crowd, acknowledging her.

Lin Yuan’s lips curved into a smile, polite and courteous.

Business talks at a dinner were always about building relationships first. Meng Chengzhang, the director of the marketing department, wanted to appear more proactive in front of his boss, so he said in a slightly surprised tone, “Meng Tian and Mr. Jiang are alumni?”

With this connection, it would be easier to talk than with strangers.

And this Mr. Jiang seemed approachable. If Meng Tian made a little more effort, perhaps their relationship could become closer. Ideally, they could go from alumni to boyfriend and girlfriend, then it would be perfect.

Meng Tian, like a shy girl in love, blushed and nodded, “Senior was a famous person in school.”

Yanda University’s school hunk. After Jiang Mingyou, Yanda University had never had anyone who could surpass him.

Even after graduating for many years, his photos still held the top spot on Yanda University’s school hunk list!

Jiang Mingyou shook his head helplessly, “It’s all just useless hype.”

An Jinghao lowered his head slightly, a playful smile on his lips, “Mr. Wang, you have quite a few Yanda University graduates at your company.”

Wang Rui understood, “Lin, from the design department, is also from Yanda University, right?”

Suddenly called out, Lin Yuan quickly raised her head, desperately swallowing the food that wasn’t fully chewed in her mouth, coughed, and replied awkwardly, “Yes, Mr. Wang.”

An Jinghao: “What a coincidence, senior and junior working together, it seems easier. Mr. Jiang is young and promising, and Ms. Lin is gentle and beautiful. Looking at it this way, you two seem quite a match.”

Wang Rui, hearing him say this, suddenly didn’t understand what he was thinking.

He had thought that An Jinghao might have feelings for Lin Yuan, but looking at it this way, it seemed like he was trying to match them up with someone else?

Before he could speak, Lin Yuan frowned and replied, “Excuse me, I’m already married.”

She had just joined the company, and because she was beautiful, she had received a lot of attention, including some colleagues who had feelings for her. Hearing her say this, everyone gasped.

“Yuan, you’re already married?”

“Ah, that’s too bad.”

Jiang Mingyou curled his hand that was on the table. He squeezed out a smile, “Congratulations.”

Lin Yuan smiled back, “Thank you, senior.”

Her gaze swept over An Jinghao. He clearly knew that she was married to Sheng Xiao, yet he still made jokes about this. What was his intention?

An Jinghao raised his eyebrows, raised his glass, and toasted Wang Rui and Jiang Mingyou, “Ms. Lin, when you said that, I think I remember, we met once at the Lin family’s party for the head of the company. Your husband is a construction worker, right?”

Meng Tian, who was sitting beside her, had been feeling annoyed by An Jinghao’s attempt to match up Jiang Mingyou and Lin Yuan, but she was immediately happy when he said this.

“That’s right, Yuan. Speaking of which, we’re classmates. Seeing you marry someone like that, I feel a little sorry for you.”

Everyone also looked at Lin Yuan with strange gazes, as if being a construction worker was something shameful and unacceptable.

Lin Yuan, however, was neither humble nor arrogant, “What’s wrong with being a construction worker? He doesn’t steal or rob, he’s the best person in my heart. Meng Tian, you’re single, so don’t feel sorry for me, a married woman. It’s really a bit unnecessary.”

Yao Tingting covered her mouth and laughed.

Who would have thought that Meng Tian wouldn’t be angry, but instead covered her mouth and looked at Jiang Mingyou with a bit of embarrassment, “That’s true. I’ve been focusing all my attention on work. Mr. Wang has given us such a good work environment, we can’t let him down. Besides, as long as it’s the right person, it doesn’t matter when you meet them.”

“Senior, don’t you think so?”

Jiang Mingyou was a little absent-minded. He nodded symbolically, which made Meng Tian flutter again.

Yao Tingting whispered in Lin Yuan’s ear, “Yuan, you’re new here, you don’t know. Meng Tian talks as if she’s so diligent, but everyone knows she hasn’t gotten a single deal since she came to the company. She doesn’t even understand the basic information. Yanda University is one of the best universities in Yancheng, I really don’t know how she got in.”

Lin Yuan chuckled and picked up a piece of food for her, “Time will tell what’s good and what’s bad.”

When others at the dinner table tried to persuade her to drink, Lin Yuan refused, saying that she wasn’t feeling well. Of course, this was also thanks to Jiang Mingyou. He was the big client, and when he spoke, no one dared to persuade her anymore.

As the dinner was almost over, Sheng Xiao called.

“Yeah, we’re almost done eating. Do you want to come? Okay, I’ll wait for you.”

As everyone finished eating and walked out of the restaurant, An Jinghao said to Jiang Mingyou, “Mr. Jiang, I see you didn’t drink at the dinner table, why don’t you send Ms. Lin home?”

Lin Yuan’s car was being serviced, and she had agreed with Sheng Xiao to pick her up and bring the car over later.

Jiang Mingyou looked at Lin Yuan, “Yuan, I’ll take you?”

Lin Yuan smiled and shook her head, “No need, senior. My husband said he’d come to pick me up.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a deep and cold male voice sounded behind her, “Wife.”
