Chapter 312: Political Marriage
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
He Zhenxuan’s slap was extremely hard, throwing Guan Meiyi off her feet for a moment. The tennis cap she used to block out her face had flown off, exposing her long-hidden face. She was still so beautiful and gentle, but lacked the glow of popularity. Now, there were a few finger marks added to her white skin.
Guan Meiyi held her face, frantically rushing to pick up her cap and putting it back on haphazardly. But she was too late. Everyone had seen what they needed.
“You b*tch, what are you holding me back for?” He Zhenxuan didn’t care where they were and just scolded Guan Meiyi like that. “Does your heart hurt seeing Ruan Zeyan like that? You’re jealous watching him hold your cousin’s hand? You still remember him, don’t you?”
Guan Meiyi shook her head, looking at the gathering crowd uncomfortably. “No, I’m not, I just don’t want to eat here. Let’s go.”
“What for? I want to eat here. I am Ruan Zeyan’s future brother-in-law. See who dares stop me!” He Zhenxuan raised his head like a thug, as though wanting nothing more than to get into a good fight.
Guan Meiyi held onto her cap tightly, her face ugly. “If you want to eat here, then do it yourself. I’m leaving!”
Guan Meiyi rushed out of the crowd, flagging a taxi off the streets and leaving as soon as she could.
He Zhenxuan watched as Guan Meiyi really left on her own, letting the anger get to his head. “That b*tch. She’s already this lowly. Who does she think she is? Still that movie star? If not for your father begging me to marry you, who would want to marry such trash!”
In the taxi, every single word of He Zhenxuan hit Guan Meiyi where it hurt the most. She hid her face in her hands and sobbed her heart out.
She was Guan Meiyi, so why did she have to live like that?
In the restaurant, Ruan Zeyan and Ling Tianya had just finished ordering. The restaurant’s manager came over with trepidation and lightly asked, “Mr. Ruan, there’s a Mr. He outside saying that he’s your brother-in-law, and he wants to come in to dine with you.”
Ruan Zeyan seemed to be in a great mood today, not getting angry even after hearing He Zhenxuan saying such disrespectful things. He just replied, expressionless, “I don’t know him.”
“Okay, got it.” The manager left after getting the reply.
“You seem to be in a good mood today,” Ling Tianya said.
Ruan Zeyan looked over as Ling Tianya looked up to drink her glass of water, her sexy lips, dark hair, white skin, her chin tilted up just right, showing off her slim and long neck. His brain replayed what she had said earlier with utmost softness, “Missing you!”
“I am.” All the knots in Ruan Zeyan’s body relaxed now just from a few word of hers.
Ling Tianya had absolutely no idea that one casual sentence of hers would have such a huge effect on Ruan Zeyan.
Putting down the cup, she couldn’t help but sigh at how He Zhenxuan was earlier. “Guan Meiyi’s such a prideful person. Why would she marry He Zhenxuan?”
“Political marriage,” Ruan Zeyan answered plainly, looking at Ling Tianya still.
That wasn’t too far from what Ling Tianya thought. Back when the Guan family had wanted to marry Guan Meiyi to Ruan Zeyan, it was also to take advantage of the Ruan family’s power. But Ruan Zeyan had personally ended this hope of theirs.
Now that Guan Meiyi’s reputation was in the dumps, Guan Jianlin could only lower her bar and choose He Zhenxuan.
Guan Meiyi was quite pitiful too. Ever since her birth, she was a chip her family had used to gamble their future on. So what if her life looked glamorous on the outside?
“Ah, I suddenly feel how lucky I am,” Ling Tianya revelled.
Ruan Zeyan’s eyes twinkled, waiting for her to continue.
Ling Tianya reached across the table, her small fingers threading itself into Ruan Zeyan’s big ones. “Because you are my fiancé!”
Ruan Zeyan’s eyes darkened, his breathing quickened, and his heart skipped a beat.
Woman, are you planning to eat at home with how seductive you are?
