The restaurant was already full of guests, and the soothing and elegant sound of the piano filled the entire room.

Hearing Pei Yan's voice, Ji Ze raised his head helplessly.

"Ayan, I remember you don't like the food here."

Pei Yan didn't even raise his head, fiddling with the menu in his hand, "Just because I didn't like it before doesn't mean I don't like it now."

"If you say you like her, I remember that you didn't dislike Ruan Rou that much before. Why don't you even let me mention her now?" Pei Yan put down the menu, with a smile in his eyes, but his face was extremely cold.

Lin Man couldn't help it any longer, "Pei Yan, if you want to eat, just shut up." If he doesn't speak, no one will think he's dumb, okay?

Lin Man took a deep breath. If it wasn't for Ji Ze, she wouldn't have eaten with him if it wasn't for the fact that he and Pei Yan had a bad relationship.

Pei Yan had a sarcastic look on his lips and threw the menu back on the table.

He stood up and adjusted his sleeves with one hand, "Unfortunately, I don't like dinners with three people." He looked at Ji Ze deeply, "I think you also know that your mother's appearance in Hai City is not a coincidence, Ji Ze, when someone wins, someone loses."

At a dinner party with three people, someone has to leave first.

Pei Yan was about to turn around and leave when Lin Man suddenly stood up and called his name.

Lin Man took a deep breath and tried to keep her voice calm. "Pei Yan, you said you don't like dinners with three people, so what about the time when you had dinner with Zheng Xu and Gan Tian?"

Is he a double standard?

Pei Yan paused, then walked forward again. Lin Yuan and Lin Man heard him say.

"It's my fault."

Although Lin Man was very puzzled, Pei Yan had already disappeared before her eyes.

She lowered her eyes and sat down. It was not that Lin Man wanted to bring up old things, but Lin Man did not want to implicate Ji Ze because of her. After all, he had the Ji family and the Ji Group behind him. But now it seemed that playing the emotional card was of no use to Pei Yan.

Seeing that Lin Man was a little depressed, Ji Ze chuckled and pulled her hand, "Don't worry, A Yan won't deal with me."

Seeing Lin Man staring at him blankly, Ji Ze said, "Although A Yan is not a good person, he still treats me differently."

"Really?" Lin Man was a little doubtful whether the person Ji Ze was talking about was Pei Yan. Why did Lin Man feel that the Pei Yan that Ji Ze was talking about was not the same person as the Pei Yan she knew?

Ji Ze nodded and cut a piece of steak for Lin Man. "Really, when have I ever lied to you?"

Lin Man looked up at Ji Ze and said softly, "Then... Pei Yan just said that your mother's appearance in Hai City was not a coincidence. What's going on?"

How could Pei Yan know so much?

Ji Ze handed the soup spoon to Lin Man, and after a moment of silence, he said, "When I returned to Italy, I also felt something was amiss, so I asked someone to investigate. This matter is probably related to Jiang Xuzhi."

Lin Man was surprised. "You mean your mother appeared in Haishi, and Jiang Xuzhi was behind it?"

"Well, there is a possibility."

Ji Ze did not mention any names, but Lin Man could probably guess what was going on.

Lin Man sighed slightly in her heart. In short, she couldn't understand. Was it because these people's lives were too smooth? So they always wanted to find some excitement?

"Manman." Ji Ze said.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Lin Man looked up.

"I plan to go to Italy to deal with these matters."

Lin Man nodded, understanding in her heart that if this matter was really related to Jiang Xuzhi, it would have to be made clear sooner or later. After all, no matter how good-tempered Ji Ze was, he didn't like others to interfere in his life.

"When do you plan to leave?"

Ji Ze: "I'll leave tomorrow."

"So urgent?"

"Well, I plan to take my mother and Ruan Rou back with me, so it's better to hurry up. I'm afraid she will come to look for you again."

Lin Man felt that Ji Ze's worries were not groundless. After all, she never gave in to Ji's mother when they quarreled. If Ji's mother didn't leave, Lin Man was afraid that she would be so angry that she would faint, and it would be difficult to explain to Ji Ze.

She raised her head and looked at Ji Ze carefully, and asked tentatively: "You don't blame me?"

Ji Ze chuckled, "Why do I blame you? Do I blame you for not submitting to my mother, or do I blame you for standing up for your own rights?"

Lin Man blushed, "I was also wrong, after all, she is..."

Before Lin Man finished her words, Ji Ze had already taken her hand and said, "Man Man, you will always be the first in my heart."

"Jize, I..."

Lin Man moved her lips to speak, but Ji Ze stopped her, "Man Man, if you have anything to say, it won't be too late to talk to me when I get back."

-

Lin Man sent Ji Ze to the airport. Although Ji's mother had a cold face along the way, she did not say anything cold to Lin Man because of her poor mental state.

At the boarding gate, Ruan Rou looked at Ji Ze and said with her head down, "Mr. Ji, let me take care of your aunt. If you have something to say to Miss Lin, you can come in later."

Ji Ze nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."

Ruan Rou was flattered and waved her hands repeatedly, "No...it's not hard." Her face was a little red, "These are all things I am willing to do."

Lin Man leaned on the railing, looking at Ruan Rou with a lazy posture, which was somewhat funny.

But she was not laughing at Ruan Rou. She just felt that it would be very hard to love someone who didn't even care about her. She wanted to persuade Ruan Rou, but she was also in the same situation at the beginning. It was just that God had mercy on her and gave her another chance to start over. This time, she would definitely not follow in her footsteps again.

"Manman, I'm leaving, and you're just staring at others?" Ji Ze felt a little aggrieved.

Lin Man came back to her senses and chuckled, then stepped forward to help Ji Ze straighten his collar, "Didn't I come to see you off?"

The next moment, Lin Man's whole body tensed up. Ji Ze's lips gently touched her forehead and kissed her, but quickly let go.

He said, “Wait until I come back.”

Lin Man nodded, and her clenched hands on both sides gradually loosened.

After Ji Ze left, Lin Man turned around and walked out. At the exit of the VIP lounge, she happened to meet Jiang Xuzhi and Gan Tian.

With a sweet and coquettish smile, "Manman, I originally thought that you agreed to Mr. Ji's pursuit because you didn't want to be with Ah Yan. Now it seems that you two have such a good relationship. In public, you actually..."

Gan Tian stopped talking halfway through her words, and Jiang Xuzhi's dark eyes also looked at Lin Man at the same time.

Even though Gan Tian only said half of her words, Lin Man knew that nothing good could come out of Gan Tian's mouth.

"Is it strange? I thought you had seen this kind of thing a lot. After all, you used to throw yourself at Pei Yan regardless of the occasion. The more people there were, the more excited you were."

She was afraid that others didn’t know about her relationship with Pei Yan.

However, Gan Tian has indeed been much quieter recently. This must be due to Jiang Xuzhi's contribution. Lin Man looked up at Jiang Xuzhi and saw that he was also looking at Lin Man.
