Lin Man started to focus on her career.

I heard from Ji Ze that Gan Tian also opened a film and television company.

She had been fully prepared to deal with it, but the sweet man seemed to have disappeared.

He never appeared in front of her again, nor did he do anything to her in private.

I guess she has already got what she thought of.

Lin Man never saw Pei Yan again, but she often saw news about him on TV. He had become much more high-profile and sometimes even walked the red carpet with Gan Tian.

Pei Yan officially announced the news of his divorce. The whole Hai City knew that he was single again. It was said that many people who wanted to marry into the Pei family had already lined up at the door, but were all rejected by Pei's mother.

"Manman! You look so beautiful in this dress. You will definitely outshine all the other girls tonight!"

Xiaojun looked her up and down, and his lustful look made Lin Man a little unbearable, so she reached out and pushed her away.

"Okay, I'm leaving now. If Ji Ze comes to see me later, tell him that I'm at a dinner party and his phone is turned off."

I guess there's no electricity.

Inside the venue, a bodyguard was set up in three steps.

"Miss, please show me your invitation."

This dinner was different from all the previous ones. Many people from all over the world came to attend. A single invitation had been sold for a million. However, Lin Man was the brand spokesperson for Wanhua Jewelry, so she also got one thanks to the brand.

I heard that the programs there are very different, and there are many inherited items.

Just as Lin Man took out the invitation, a gust of wind suddenly blew her hat off.

Her skirt was sewn close to her body, so tight that it made it difficult to breathe, let alone bend over.

She wanted to pick up the hat, but a slender hand had already picked it up and handed it to her.

"Thank you, it's really troublesome for you..."

Lin Man saw the person in front of her stop talking abruptly, and her smile was still frozen on her face.

Pei Yan's expression was indifferent, and there was no extra emotion in his deep eyes, as if he was just helping her like a gentleman.

Lin Man took it in a daze, feeling the weight in her hand, she turned and looked at Pei Yan.

He was going through security with his arms outstretched, and when he turned around, their eyes met briefly.

As night falls, the dinner begins.

As the spokesperson for the dinner's sponsor, Lin Man was invited to be the first to walk the red carpet. Her long, straight legs instantly attracted everyone's attention.

She raised her hand and smiled, showing off the jewelry in her hand, and signed her name on the background wall behind her.

The flash lights in the audience came on, and she once again met Pei Yan's gaze. He was sitting quietly to one side, and his natural aura was hard to ignore.

After stepping down from the stage, Lin Man sat next to Pei Yan. The two of them didn't speak, nor did they look at each other, as if they were a pair of strangers.

He Sheng coughed lightly, lowered his head and leaned close to Pei Yan's ear and said, "Boss Pei, the manager of Longteng International has also arrived. He said he wants to see you. His invitation letter is for the outside world, so he can't come in."

Pei Yan looked indifferently at the stupid woman in front of him who pretended not to know him and wanted to draw a line between them. He shook his wine glass and said slowly: "Let's not talk about business today. Send him an invitation letter and let him come in."

"Yes."

After He Sheng left, Lin Man stood up and wanted to leave.

Pei Yan's voice came from behind, "Don't you dare face me?"

Lin Man took a deep breath, a distant smile hung between her brows, and turned around and said, "I just don't think there is any need for us to sit at the same table."

She walked out slowly. Pei Yan did not stop her or say anything else.

It was foggy and drizzling, and a white Rolls-Royce stopped at the door.

Jiang Xuzhi got out of the car. Lin Man just took a look at him, then looked away and turned away.

In the bathroom, she wiped off her lipstick and reapplied it, then raised her glasses and saw a familiar face.

Jiang Xuzhi was wearing a white suit, which looked like a couple's style with Lin Man's dress.

"I heard you followed Ji Ze?"

Jiang Xuzhi looked at Lin Man with amusement.

"I originally thought that you wanted to divorce Mr. Pei because you had some better options. I didn't expect that women's brains are still as confused as ever. A man can trick you away with just a few sweet words. Do you like that kind of man?"

Jiang Xuzhi was talking about Ji Ze. Lin Man glanced at him in the mirror and turned around.

"Isn't this what you want? If I don't know better, the grass on your grave would be ten feet high. Can I still expect Pei Yan to avenge me?"

Jiang Xuzhi's eyes dimmed, "Sorry."

"But I promised her that I would help her do two things: ruin your reputation and divorce Pei Yan. Now that everything is done, I will never target you again."

If it weren't for the promise he had made, Jiang Xuzhi would not have bothered to target a woman.

Lin Man glanced at Jiang Xuzhi, sneered, and left without saying a word. She felt that it was a waste of time to say any more words to such a person.

Jiang Xuzhi saw the disdain in the woman's eyes and took a step forward to stand in front of her.

"Lin Man, if Ji Ze can't satisfy you, you can always come to me."

Lin Man frowned and looked at Jiang Xuzhi's serious expression. Indifference and confusion appeared on her face at the same time. What did Jiang Xuzhi mean by this?

Is he sick?

"Step aside."

She reached out to push Jiang Xuzhi's arm. The man's muscles were as hard as steel. Lin Man staggered and fell directly into Jiang Xuzhi's arms.

"What are you doing!"

Gan Tian appeared in front of the two of them at some point, her flushed face faintly emitting anger.

Jiang Xuzhi had a calm expression. He glanced at Pei Yan, who had a gloomy face in front of him, and curled up the corners of his lips, remaining silent.

Lin Man pushed Jiang Xuzhi away, but the man didn't move at all, and she was bounced against a wall instead.

Lin Man bit his back teeth and smiled sweetly at the face full of forbearance.

"Your brother apologized to me. He said that he targeted me because he owed your sister, and he had no choice but to agree to your two conditions. Now that the matter is settled, he will not target me again. He also said that I can go to him anytime after I think about it."

Lin Man glanced at them with disdainful eyes, ignoring the expressions on everyone's faces and slowly walked downstairs.

The sweet expression gradually distorted.

Under the light, Lin Man realized that the dress Gan Tian was wearing today was the same as hers.

Wearing the same dress as someone else at a dinner party is a big taboo.

Gan Tian looked back at Pei Yan and said in distress, "A Yan, I didn't expect that Manman and I would wear the same thing today."

"Is it?"

Pei Yan glanced at Lin Man with his dark and deep eyes, picked up the red wine and scissors beside him, and in a few seconds, he changed the flawless white slim long skirt into a very designed fishtail skirt.

The red wine embellishment looks like red plum blossoms blooming in the cold winter.

"Still like that?"

Gan Tian's shocked little face was filled with unconcealed joy. She turned around briskly, "Wow, Ah Yan, you have such a skillful hand! I really like this skirt that you have modified. It looks even better!"

"Really? As long as you like it."

Pei Yan's voice was very calm. He picked up the wine beside him and took a sip, but his eyes couldn't help but look at Lin Man.

To be fair, the modification of this skirt is indeed very good. Gan Tian's face is very childish, but the body proportions are very normal. The flat places should be flat, and the unflat places... are not flat at all.

She was a little proud, and looked at Lin Man with innocent eyes, "Man Man, do you think my dress looks good? I didn't expect that we would wear the same dress. If I had known, I would have changed it and not embarrassed you."

Lin Man chuckled, "Isn't it a matter of who is uglier when wearing the same clothes? It's obvious that you are uglier than me, so I won't be embarrassed."

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this dinner. Our next dance session will be a brand new one."

"Lady who drew number 23, please come up on stage. Your dance partner tonight is...Mr. Jiang Xuzhi!"

There was a sudden uproar at the scene. Many girls whispered to each other, their eyes full of curiosity and envy for No. 23, whom they had never met before.
