“Jingzhu, this is Jiang Chen!” Just as Lin Jingzhu felt awkward, a foreign man with fair skin and a baseball cap approached her and asked. Jiang Chen knew that in her past life, Lin Jingzhu had married this foreigner named Mark.
In this life, Lin Jingzhu's attitude toward Jiang Chen had changed, and whether she would marry Mark was uncertain.
Mark was under thirty and had come to China to study, which indicated he was quite exceptional. Most importantly, he came from a wealthy family; Mark was a rich second generation. He was also tall and handsome, making him the prince charming in the eyes of many girls.
Many girls at Lin Jingzhu's school had once swooned over this foreigner. Even Zhou Xuemei, who had high standards, spoke highly of Mark.
However, Lin Jingzhu ignored him completely. This was not how it had been in her previous life. Everything changed because of Jiang Chen's rebirth.
Mark was indeed outstanding, but unfortunately for him, in Lin Jingzhu's eyes, he paled in comparison to Jiang Chen. The strength that Jiang Chen displayed left Lin Jingzhu astonished, making it difficult for her to accept other men now.
Mark did not expect Lin Jingzhu to overlook him. He had always been competitive; the more indifferent she was to him, the more he wanted to win her over.
Over the past year and a half, Mark had been very enthusiastic toward Lin Jingzhu. As a senior in the same department, he often took the initiative to help her, but all he received in return was a simple “thank you” from her.
Mark had naturally heard about Lin Jingzhu’s boyfriend and had asked her about it. However, Lin Jingzhu insisted she did not have a boyfriend and that Jiang Chen was just a good friend. From her demeanor, Mark understood that she seemed to have a crush on Jiang Chen. This made him secretly unhappy; in his view, with such a quality man like himself around, how could Lin Jingzhu still have feelings for someone else? Was Jiang Chen really better than him?
Today, seeing the man who captured Lin Jingzhu's attention, Mark scrutinized Jiang Chen closely. Regardless of other factors, he was confident that he looked better than Jiang Chen.
“I never expected that the man Jingzhu likes would be so ordinary; he’s hardly worthy of being my rival. But since we’ve crossed paths, I’ll let Jingzhu compare us properly so she won’t keep thinking about this Jiang Chen,” Mark thought to himself as he cast a sidelong glance at Jiang Chen. Although he wore a friendly smile on his face, his mind was already plotting how to deal with Jiang Chen.
“Senior, this is Jingzhu’s boyfriend Jiang Chen. Jingzhu often mentions how impressive he is!” Zhou Xuemei quickly interjected. Being straightforward by nature, she made it hard for the gentle Lin Jingzhu to speak up.
“Ha ha, indeed impressive. An ordinary person can actually make Jingzhu like him; it’s clear he’s quite different,” Mark said with a half-smile.
“Don’t listen to Zhou Xuemei’s nonsense; Jiang Chen and I are just high school classmates,” Lin Jingzhu clarified quickly. If she didn’t explain herself, Zhou Xuemei would surely keep talking. Thankfully, Lin Jingzhu hadn’t mentioned their childhood friendship yet and only referred to him as a high school classmate.
“Jingzhu, I’m Zhou Xuemei! Not nonsense! You clearly like…” Zhou Xuemei started to say more but fell silent when she saw Lin Jingzhu glaring at her.
“Everyone sit down quickly; we’re about to set sail,” called out a staff member on the cruise ship.
Lin Jingzhu and the others then found their seats and sat down.
