After saying this, Lin Man finally put down the chopsticks in her hand.

"Gan Tian, ​​just because I haven't settled some accounts with you doesn't mean you are safe. Don't be too arrogant. You know how Zhao Yao got those injuries. You don't want everyone to know. I advise you to keep a low profile."

When Lin Man discovered that Gan Tian had abused Zhao Yao on the set, she thought about collecting evidence and calling the police, but was stopped by Zhao Yao. He said that Gan Tian had suffered with him and that he owed Gan Tian all this.

Lin Man suddenly felt as if cold water was stuck in her teeth.

There won’t be another ex who can do this.

Gan Tian raised her lips, "Man Man, it seems that you really protect him. But I didn't expect that you would give up A Yan and choose such a useless man. You are really out of your mind."

"Gan Tian, ​​that's enough!"

Zhao Yao said in a deep voice. This was the first sentence he spoke after Gan Tian stood here, but it was for Lin Man.

He admitted that he was unable to give her a better life and that he caused her to be bullied by his mother, but what happened between them had nothing to do with Manman.

Zhao Yao turned his head away, but Gan Tian suddenly smiled.

Far from being shocked by Zhao Yao's voice, she said directly: "Ayao, I didn't expect you to have such a powerful side. As expected, it was me who was unworthy of asking you to stand up for me when your mother bullied me."

As soon as the sweet words came out, Zhao Yao's voice was instantly strangled in his throat.

His face was dull, his head was lowered, and his hand holding the chopsticks was shaking slightly.

Gan Tian seemed unaware and turned around and said, "Let's just sit at the next table and have a simple meal. Do you mind?"

"Of course, whatever Tiantian says is what it is."

Gan Tian chuckled and was about to sit down, but saw Xiaojun rushing over with a basin of water full of ice cubes.

"Get out of the way!"

"Wow—"

A large basin of ice water flowed down her sweet hair, and even some ice cubes hit her shoes.

"Ah!" Gan Tian shivered because of being poured!

"Xiaojun." Lin Man stood up.

"Oh my! What's wrong with you? You saw me holding a basin of water but you still had to bump into me. People's brain circuits nowadays are really amazing. You knew that others didn't like her, but you still had to get close to her."

"you!"

The man stepped forward and was about to grab Xiaojun by the collar, but Lin Man stood in front of her and said, "You're going to do that in broad daylight?"

"Just wait for me!"

The man picked up the trembling Gan Tian and left in a hurry.

Xiaojun raised his eyebrows at Lin Man with an expression that seemed to be asking for praise. Lin Man rubbed her eyebrows helplessly. Suddenly, she looked up and saw a familiar profile.

Whitebeard stood out in the crowd. Lin Man stared at him without blinking, and quickly stuffed the things in his hand to Xiaojun, "Wait for me here."

After saying that, Lin Man chased after him.

Xiaojun shouted from behind, "Manman, where are you going? You haven't finished your meal yet."

The wind whistled past his ears, and the old man with white beard walked faster and faster, and finally ran away, "Girl, don't chase me, I just had a full meal, do you really want to kill someone?"

He held his stomach and as soon as he opened his mouth he gulped down a storm of wind.

Lin Man was running so hard that she saw stars. She hadn't exercised for a long time. If this old man was ten years younger, he would have left her far behind.

"Aren't you afraid of causing death by accepting dirty money? If you don't want to live in fear every day, stop and explain things to me clearly."

The old man refused to stop, and even turned when he came to a familiar road. He turned around and found Lin Man still running behind him. He said helplessly, "Girl, this is unfair! I really didn't take the dirty money, and I don't know what's going on."

On the side of the road, in the black Maybach, Han Ming looked up at the man in the rearview mirror, "Boss Pei, the doctor who took the pulse has been found, but..."

Pei Yan's dark eyes were looking at the half-open window. Lin Man was running after the old man with her hands covering her chest.

Han Ming was a little unsure at the moment, but judging from the situation, his wife didn't seem to know the old man. "Boss Pei, do we need to follow the original plan?"

Lin Man felt a chill in her stomach. "If you don't know what's going on, just tell me what's going on!"

Taking advantage of her long arms, Lin Man stretched out her hand and grabbed the old man's hat, and directly knocked him down, "I'm obviously not pregnant, why did you say I was pregnant?"

The old man did not say such words directly to Lin Man, but he called Pei Yan out alone. Since then, Pei Yan was certain that she was pregnant. If it wasn't him, then who else could it be?

"Okay, okay, I'm not going to run away. Girl, stop grabbing my neck. Loosen your grip a little."

Lin Man loosened his grip, and the old man looked embarrassed. "This... I don't know what's going on. I don't know any medical skills. I'm just a Taoist priest. I help others do rituals and check Feng Shui. How can I understand what you said?"

"You don't understand and you're still checking my pulse!"

"Business is bad right now, and I had no choice but to go out in the middle of the night to pick up bottles and collect cardboard boxes to sell for some scrap. But then I heard a group of people talking, and I slipped and made a noise."

"They saw how I was dressed and thought I was the doctor they were looking for. They asked me why I took so long to come and put me in their car without waiting for me to say anything."

"I didn't have time to explain. Instead, I listened to their conversation and heard more and more. I was afraid that they would kill me as soon as I explained. I didn't dare to say anything. That group of people didn't seem to be good people. Girl, believe me, I really didn't take any money."

Lin Man nodded, "Come with me to a place."

She was pulling the old man's sleeve and about to leave when three black, extended commercial vehicles suddenly appeared from the side of the road and just stopped there, blocking everyone's view.

It became a blind spot. Before Lin Man could react, he instantly pulled the old man into the car, "Hey! What are you doing?"

boom--

Before he could finish his words, the car door was closed.

Along with the old man, the group quickly disappeared.

Lin Man was hesitating whether to take a taxi to catch up, when Xiaojun suddenly appeared behind her, holding his chest and gasping for breath, "Manman, I finally found you. Who were you chasing just now? You were running too fast. You disappeared in the blink of an eye."

Across the street, Han Ming answered the phone, "Yes, take the person back first."

After hanging up the phone, he looked at the man in the rearview mirror and said, "Boss Pei, we have taken the man back. Do you want to interrogate him in person or..."

Pei Yan did not answer. He looked at the dark and unclear figure across the street.

At this moment, Lin Man had just called the police on her cell phone and explained everything that needed to be said. It was just strange that the police did not ask her to go back and give a statement.

"Manman, stop thinking about this. You can stay at my house tonight, and we can catch up on the past. I have a lot of tea leaves at home, so I'll make you some tea and take you out to relax tomorrow night!"

Lin Man was forcibly taken back home by Xiaojun.

The so-called reminiscing is just listening to her talk about the handsome guy she met on the crew.

The teacup shook, and Lin Man's eyelids drooped. The next second, she was woken up by Xiaojun, "Manman! This guy is so handsome, the top male star in China. The play is still in preparation, but the casting has already started. Anyway, you are not going back now, why not give it a try."

"what?"

Lin Mankun was unable to open her eyes and had no interest in the handsome guy Xiaojun mentioned.

Speaking of top stars, is there anyone bigger than Pei Yan?

Sure enough, her taste has been developed.

The next day, Xiaojun took her to start dressing up, and specially picked out a bright red deep V-neck dress for her. The waistline was tightened, outlining her slender waist and her skin as white as jade.

Xiaojun was stunned, staring at Lin Man's chest and wanted to reach out his hand, but was ruthlessly knocked away by Lin Man, "Manman, you are biased."

Xiaojun's eyes were wet. Mr. Pei could touch her but she couldn't.

She saw it all, she touched it.

In the evening, Lin Man and Xiaojun were preparing to attend a dinner. As soon as they got off the car, they were stunned by the scenery in front of them.

Lin Man had attended hundreds of dinners of all sizes, but had never seen such a lavish and magnificent scene. The guests passing by included politicians who often appeared on TV, as well as some of the best actresses, directors, and celebrities in the film industry.

"Xiaojun, what kind of party are you attending?"

"This... is just an invitation that someone gave me casually."

"Just gave it to me casually?"

In the brightly lit banquet hall, a fountain flows slowly in the center of the water. Under the bright lights, the jewels inlaid on the floor tiles are dazzling.

As soon as Lin Man stepped into the banquet hall in high heels, everyone's eyes fell on her. Some people looked at her clothes, and they looked at the people around them, and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

Lin Man looked up and was about to find someone to ask clearly when she met a gaze in the crowd. Her heart trembled as she looked at Pei Yan sitting in the middle of the crowd.

He held a glass of wine in his hand and looked at Lin Man with his dark and deep eyes.

At this time, Lin Man was following Pei Yan and saw the sign behind him, which read: Zheng Xu and Pei Xiuhe are friends forever.

"..."

Lin Man looked at herself in a bright red dress and felt a chill on her scalp. This was Zheng Xu's wedding banquet!

She pulled Xiaojun and turned to leave, when a voice rang out from behind, "Sister-in-law!"

The word "sister-in-law" once again pushed Lin Man into the spotlight of the crowd.

Zheng Xu was holding the arm of a beautiful woman, who was wearing a red toast dress and walking towards him.

Xiaojun also realized that she had done something wrong. Her smile froze and she kept muttering, "I'm sorry, Manman, please hit me! I didn't know I would meet Mr. Pei here today, and I didn't know that today was the wedding banquet of his good brother..."

Oh my God, what is going on!

In just a moment, Zheng Xu had walked in front of Lin Man. He looked at the dress Lin Man was wearing and scratched his head. Although he didn't understand, he didn't say anything.

He just looked at Pei Yan and said, "A Yan, why didn't your sister-in-law come with you?"

Lin Man didn't understand what was said at first, but she soon looked at Gan Tian running out of the crowd and immediately understood.

Pei Yan’s female companion today is Gan Tian.

"No, congratulations on your wedding. I'm not here with Pei Yan. I'll leave after giving you the gift."

Lin Man recognized the woman in front of her, a distant cousin of Pei Yan. They had met in their previous life but had no connection. She turned around and tried to take the gift bag from Xiaojun. Xiaojun glared at her, and Lin Man blinked and mouthed a gesture.

"I know, I know. Give it to me first. I'll give you your birthday present later."

After saying this, Xiaojun finally let go.

Lin Man smiled and handed the gift bag to Pei Xiuhe, "Happy wedding."

Pei Xiuhe didn't come from a good family, but she was a very respectable woman. She took the gift bag from Lin Man with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a long time since the last family dinner. Mr. Pei usually doesn't want us to see you. Let's have a good chat after the dinner."

Lin Man originally wanted to give the gift and leave, but after hearing what Pei Xiuhe said, she couldn't turn around and leave immediately, so she could only smile and nod.

After a few simple words, Zheng Xu went to toast with Pei Xiuhe. Lin Man stood there, looking at their backs and their holding hands. She didn't expect that today was Zheng Xu's wedding banquet. He didn't go crazy about Gan Tian anymore, but married Pei's distant cousin.

Although they are distant relatives, they are still related to the Pei family. Not only did Pei Yan come in person, but Lin Man also met many members of the Pei family at the venue. This marriage can be considered a match made in heaven.

"Manman, you're wearing something very special today." Gan Tian came over with a glass of wine and a smile, "Is it because no one invited you? So... you didn't know that today is A Xu's wedding banquet."

"Ah Xu, Ah Xu, you are being so intimate with an outsider. I would have thought it was you who was getting engaged to Zheng Xu today."

"You!" Gan Tian's chest heaved violently, and it was obvious that she was irritated by Lin Man's words. This damn woman had such a vicious mouth. If she had fallen in love with the Zheng family, that second-rate family, would it still be her turn, Pei Xiuhe?

"Miss Gan, you should be more restrained in this kind of situation today. There are so many people here. Don't get too close to her fiancé or get kicked out by the Pei family."

After Lin Man finished speaking, she lifted her skirt and went upstairs.

Gan Tian turned around and walked to Pei Yan. The resentment in her eyes had long disappeared. Her voice was sweet and clear, as if to melt people, "A Yan..."

But before Gan Tian could finish her words, Pei Yan stood up, put down the wine glass in his hand, and left without saying a word.

In the bathroom, Lin Man rubbed her hair with her wet hands and looked at the toolbox in the cleaning lady's cart. "Auntie, can you lend me a pair of scissors?"

The aunt looked Lin Man up and down, a little cautious, "Girl, you are so young, don't do stupid things. Listen to my advice, there are many good men in the world. If this one doesn't work, let's change to another one."

"Auntie, it's really not..." Lin Man understood but didn't understand. Why was she so upset?

"Don't lie to me, Auntie. I saw you when you came in just now. You are Mr. Zheng's mistress, right? Now that things have come to this, let's just admit it. What can go wrong on such a happy day? By then, the ones who get lost will be our own people."

Lin Man finally understood and quickly interrupted the kind aunt in front of her, "No, I came here to relax with my friends. I didn't know this was a wedding banquet. I can't steal the bride's limelight by wearing the wrong clothes. I'll use scissors to cut this skirt shorter so that I won't wear the same clothes as the bride."

Lin Man had no choice but to explain in detail. In front of her aunt's half-believing and half-doubting face, she took the scissors and cut the skirt above the knee on the spot. She turned around and raised her head, "You...?"

There was no cleaning lady in front of me anymore.

Pei Yan leaned against the door, staring at her with a pair of dark eyes.
