"Don't blame me for not warning you; I am a bastard of the Cheng Family."
"Zi Ming values family ties above all."
"If you offend me, don't expect any help from the Cheng Family."
I took a deep breath and said slowly, "Cheng He, you can't really think you're one of the Cheng Family, can you?"
"A bastard is still a bastard."
"You'll never be able to stand openly in the sunlight."
"So you'd better not harbor any hostility toward the legitimate consort."
"Otherwise, you'll be the only one to suffer."
Cheng He narrowed his eyes. "Tang Jiahui, what do you mean by that?"
"Do you look down on me too?"
I shrugged. "Think what you want."
Cheng He was visibly angry. "Tang Jiahui, do you know what I hate most?"
"If you dare to touch my sore spot, believe me, I won't see you again!"
I nonchalantly raised my hands. "Suit yourself."
After all, I no longer loved him.
His joys and sorrows were no longer my concern.
I walked into the dining room first.
To my surprise, I found Cheng He there.
He leaned closer to my ear and lowered his voice, saying, “Jia Hui, you look really beautiful today.”
“Make sure to perform well later and show Cheng Ziming what embarrassment really means.”
I furrowed my brows.
How dare he come to me with trouble!
It seemed I needed to teach him a lesson.
The restaurant was bustling with guests.
To my surprise, I found Cheng He sitting next to me.
This was quite unexpected.
In my previous life, I had sat beside Cheng Ziming.
Cheng He had occupied the most inconspicuous spot.
And now, he was—
“Jia Hui, don’t look at me like that.”
Cheng He whispered in my ear, “Even if you marry Zi Ming, you are still mine.”
My expression darkened. “Cheng He, you really have no shame!”
“Have you never heard the saying?”
“A brother’s wife must not be wronged.”
Cheng He dismissed it with a wave. “Jia Hui, you belong to me.”
“No matter what, it’s impossible for you to take him away.”
I was about to retort when a tall figure appeared at the entrance of the restaurant.
He was dressed in a well-tailored suit, exuding elegance and nobility.
It was none other than my fiancé, Cheng Ziming.
The bustling restaurant fell silent in an instant.
Everyone turned to look at him.
Even the diners paused with their chopsticks in mid-air.
Cheng Ziming’s expression was indifferent, his demeanor cold and stern.
It sent a chill down my spine.
The moment I saw him, my heart raced.
A complex mix of emotions surged within me.
I wanted to explain my relationship with Cheng He.
But before I could speak, Cheng Ziming stepped beside me.
His tall figure blocked Cheng He from view.
With an imposing presence, he questioned, “Who allowed you to sit in this position?”
Cheng He’s face shifted between shades of green and white. “Brother, you—”
“Don’t you know what day it is today?”
Cheng Ziming stated calmly yet firmly.
At that moment, Father Cheng noticed the scene.
With a stern expression, he walked up to Cheng He and harshly criticized him, "Why aren't you quickly going to sit at the very back?"
"Who are you to speak here!"
Cheng He clenched his fists in anger.
But he didn't dare to resist.
He could only leave in disgrace.
As he passed by me, he shot me a fierce glare.
It seemed like all his anger was directed at me.
I blinked innocently.
This was all thanks to Cheng Ziming.
What did it have to do with me?
At the same time, I was secretly shocked.
In my previous life, I had always thought of Cheng Ziming as a gentle person.
But now it seemed that his gentleness was reserved only for me.
Others, including his brother, couldn't hold their heads up in front of him.
Realizing this made my heart race.
