82 Party Invitation

Feng Mian helplessly dragged Yu Yan out of the room. She passed a cold glance at Zhang Liang, who merely looked back at her with a faint smile on his lips. It didn't look like he regretted his action at all.

Yu Yan nudged Feng Mian. "Since your husband is already here. How about if we postpone our little celebration later?"

"Are you sure? We're going to be busy, right?"

"Heh, I'll wait until you get a project on your own and handle it well," Yu Yan's eyes glinted in interest. "With your capabilities, I'm sure that you'll be able to finish an important project on your own."

Feng Mian could only flash a smile. She was not that sure herself. If she got a project, it would be her first project as a sole team. In addition, she was sure that Zhang Liang wouldn't let her do her work just from home. She would have to meet with the client and listen to their demands.

This was one of the reasons why she didn't want the promotion.

Zhang Liang looked at the two girls. "If you wish to have a dinner together, you can go and eat. I don't mind waiting."

"No!" Yu Yan shook her head almost immediately. "There's no way I can do that to you, President Zhang. You must be busy and have a lot of work. Even though you're wearing makeup, the black circle under your eyes is apparent."

Zhang Liang: "…" this woman sure has guts.

Yu Yan grinned. She knew that outside the workplace and work time, Zhang Liang wouldn't be their boss. Even though she wouldn't dare to cross the line, she wanted to tease her best friend a bit. After all, if they were truly husband and wife, she would meet with Zhang Liang often.

At that time, would she treat him as her boss?

Nah, she doubted it.

"I'll be going now before a demon decides to increase my workload. Good luck on your own, Mian'er."

Feng Mian sighed. She hugged Yu Yan. "Take care of yourself on the road. Make sure you drive slowly."

"You know how I drive so…"

"So be careful, okay?"

Yu Yan could see Feng Mian was smiling, yet her aura seemed threatening. She could only nod her head helplessly. She liked to drive at high speed, which was one of the reasons why Feng Mian wouldn't hesitate to reprimand her. Because of her habit, Feng Mian also didn't want to go for a drive with her.

Feng Mian's reason: too scary.

"Ok, ok, I'll maintain proper speed. Byeee."

Feng Mian shook her head when she saw her best friend dashed on the corridor. She glanced up and looked at Zhang Liang, who was looking in her direction with a small smile on his lips.

"Why do you come here, really?"

"I'm curious."

"What?"

"What kind of best friend you have right now."

Hearing his answer, Feng Mian stilled in her place for a few seconds. She noticed that Zhang Liang must have found out what had happened back in her university back then. She smiled bitterly.

This was one of the many whys she didn't want to get close with people who had a lot of money. There was nothing they couldn't do with their loads of money in their hands. Many people would do almost anything for money and digging information was very easy.

Feng Mian looked at Zhang Liang. "What my best friend is like is not your business, right?"

Zhang Liang arched his eyebrows. "If she's not a good girl, I'm sure that some information would have leaked by now."

"She won't do that."

Feng Mian met Yu Yan when she was just a new intern and Yu Yan hasn't been in the company for that long too. At that time, she was nothing more than a new intern who didn't know anything, but Yu Yan stayed patient with her. Many people already looked down on her because she kept on being late, but Yu Yan listened to her 'excuses' and let her continue to follow her.

At that time, she didn't know why, but later she realized that Yu Yan wanted to give her a chance. Even though she had a very bad late record, her work was very satisfying. The two of them also started to chat outside work hours, which was how they got closer to one another.

After having a best friend who stabbed her from behind, Feng Mian could notice the difference in treatment Yu Yan gave her and also Han Mei. Yu Yan always treated her with sincerity while Han Mei only put on the front but never truly cared about her. The contrast made her realize that a true friend would never leave their friend alone when there was a problem.

Zhang Liang nodded. "I know that now."

"How?"

"Her reaction when she saw me already told me a lot." Zhang Liang poked Feng Mian's forehead. "Let's go back and have dinner. Chef Lu is cooking."

"Oh, ok."

Feng Mian followed Zhang Liang to the lift. It was then she found out that there's something weird. Why would Zhang Liang pick her up when she already had a driver here?

"Brother Liang, why do you pick me up today? It's not just because you want to see Yu Yan's reaction, right?"

"That's one of the reasons."

"The others?"

"I'll tell you in the car."

Ding!

The lift arrived. The two of them entered the lift and headed to the basement. When they arrived, Feng Mian looked around, looking for the car that she used to come here.

"I already asked Yu to go back first. Get in."

"Ok."

Feng Mian walked into the car and fastened the seatbelt. Afterwards, she turned her head to look at Zhang Liang, asking him why he suddenly came here with her gaze.

"There'll be a party tomorrow."

"Party?"

"Yes. It's a party to celebrate Old Zhou's birthday. Our family is invited and I can't miss it."

Feng Mian blinked her eyes. Zhou Family was one of the big families in this country. It has a lot of influence, especially in the military and politics. Many of the younger generations were very influential.

Zhang Family and Zhou Family were close to one another. She had heard some of the joint cooperation that they did in the past for some projects.

"In that party…. Do I…?"

"You will come as my wife."

….Kill me now.
