Chapter 124: Chapter 76 I really did love you_2 Chapter 124: Chapter 76 I really did love you_2 Wen Yangzhi’s attitude was indifferent, “She went to the banquet, it’s fine.”

At the banquet itself? She hadn’t detected any clues as to whom the senior was close with.

Zhou Fei felt like she had plunged into an icy river on a winter’s day, her whole body going cold. Just when she thought she had a chance, Wen Dong’s girlfriend was looking right at her.

So Jiang Jianqing was helping her, not slandering her, and refrained from saying even more unpleasant things.

She forced a smile, “May I ask which young lady it is, so I can greet her when we meet in the future?”

Wen Yangzhi picked up his coffee and took a sip, nonchalant, “The one you just met.”

She was a bit confused, “But I only just met your sister.”

Wen Yangzhi’s expression was as light as a breeze, and he glanced at her, then continued to review data, “The young lady from a family friend, she’s my girlfriend.”

Zhou Fei, still maintaining a forced smile, could no longer keep up the act at this moment, her face a mix of shock and disbelief.

The man she had liked for so many years was telling her to her face that he had a girlfriend.

She looked at Wen Yangzhi’s handsome and stern profile under the shade of the trees, just like eight years ago, the first time she saw him.

Back then, the rule for joining the Brotherhood was to give a bouquet of flowers to an unfamiliar girl and invite her to dinner; success meant entry, failure meant an additional challenge. The Brotherhood had many members from noble families and numerous playboys, all untouchable.

But Wen Yangzhi was different.

She happened to pass by their VIP activity room, and Wen Yangzhi came out, coincidentally running into her.

He called out to her in a calm voice, “Nancy.”

She was astonished; finding it incredible that such a handsome man suddenly knew her name.

Because that year, she wasn’t particularly attractive or charismatic, merely a nerdy girl buried in a sea of people.

She hugged her books and lowered her head, full of self-doubt.

And the next second, he asked in that same calm tone,

“May I invite you to dinner?”

He gazed at her intently, the light from the corridor filtered by the tree canopies, casting shadows that mirrored the unclear, rapid beating of her heart.

He was too good-looking; just one glance at her was enough to send her heart racing, daring not to harbor any fantasies.

At that moment, she could only think that Wen Yangzhi must have paid attention to her long before since he was able to call out her name so suddenly.

She knew him because he was too famous.

In the finance department, who wouldn’t know Caleb?

If he was the type to judge by appearance, he wouldn’t have chosen her from the start.

He wasn’t that superficial.

Years passed and Zhou Fei realized that she was wearing a name tag at the time, which was why he was able to read her name upon first seeing her.

On the third day she knew him, his friends were betting whether Wen Yangzhi was actually interested in her.

Because Wen Yangzhi was different from them; he was too friendly, not humiliating her after dinner, not telling her she was overestimating herself.

It gave everyone the false impression that Wen Yangzhi treated her differently.

So they forcefully took her to the mountaintop and sent a message to Wen Yangzhi saying that if they didn’t win the car race today, they would isolate her. All future dirty tricks would be dumped on her, and of course, they wouldn’t bring her down from the mountain.

The act was rife with malicious playfulness.

When she saw Wen Yangzhi again, the engine of his sports car was smoking. The mountain road that usually took at least an hour or two to climb, he ascended in less than twenty minutes, as if racing for his life.

He cut the rope on her wrists with a cold expression, his head down, his eyes detached and decisive, and his slightly tousled hair obscuring his heroic brow. His hand gripped the knife tightly, the other hand holding onto her shoulder to prevent her from falling. She remembered that scene vividly to this day.

He told the group who had bound her that there was no need to associate with them anymore, as they had different principles and values for friendship.

He discarded the dagger, and the sharp blade stuck in the ground before those playboys, its cold gleam chilling.

Rumors spread that Wen Yangzhi had offended “Λ,” the Greek symbol and nickname for the Brotherhood, all because of her.

Organizations like the Brotherhood are for the rich and powerful, where one becomes a part of their exclusive circle, with incredibly firm social connections. Wen Yangzhi’s circle was even more outrageous, including royalty, tycoons’ nephews, and heirs to top-tier pharmaceutical companies.

For a scion like him, joining was completely expected, and in the future, these connections would be part of his network and credentials in the world of fame and profit.

But for her, he left just three days after joining.

Everyone was talking wildly, with many curious to see what the girl Caleb was protecting looked like. But after seeing her, they were either disappointed or speechless.

She even felt guilty, as if she had let him down.

When she spoke to him about the rumors, he simply said they were unimportant to him.
