One table was meant for eight people, and it was already crowded with ten. When Wang Li and Tan Rui came over, there was no space left.
Initially, Chen Wei wanted to take Liang Yinying out. After all, she had come with him just to enjoy the food and drinks, continuously occupying a seat without an end in sight. Chen Wei felt somewhat guilty about it.
However, Yue Jiawen and Wei Guanglong were enjoying themselves with Liang Yinying and were unwilling to let her leave. They dragged her to their original table nearby.
Meanwhile, Dong Yuhua and his group were still trying to get close to Luo Chen, leaving no one at their table.
Liang Yinying didn't mind sitting elsewhere and continued drinking with Yue Jiawen and Wei Guanglong after coming over.
Chen Wei could only sit down helplessly.
After Tan Rui came over, she greeted Jiang Chen first and then naturally sat next to Chen Wei.
She was only relatively familiar with Jiang Chen and Wang Li, who were also members of the Student Union. She wasn't close to the other girls, and since she had come for Chen Wei, she didn't sit with Jiang Chen and the others.
To cover up, Tan Rui asked Wei Guanglong directly after sitting down, "Wei Guanglong, how did the task I assigned you go?"
Wei Guanglong had also spent a year in the Student Union and knew Tan Rui.
"Oh, Tan Miss, please forgive me. In our humble department, where can we afford to buy financial products? I had to save up those twenty thousand yuan with great difficulty. You'd be better off asking Old Chen; his company is full of big shots with money to spare, casually pulling out hundreds of thousands."
Wei Guanglong said with a wistful expression, pushing the topic onto Chen Wei.
Tan Rui had only intended to find a reason to sit here to avoid showing that she was actively approaching Chen Wei. However, Wei Guanglong directly led the conversation to Chen Wei, which suited her just fine!
Tan Rui immediately said to Chen Wei, "Really? Looks like I need to build a better relationship with you!"
As she spoke, she winked at Chen Wei.
Chen Wei understood her intentions but just smiled faintly without saying anything.
Wei Guanglong thought Tan Rui wanted Chen Wei to help her complete a task of buying financial products and didn't realize that Tan Rui's idea of building a relationship with Chen Wei was completely different from his understanding.
He then said, "You should build a better relationship with Old Chen."
Tan Rui looked at Chen Wei with profound meaning and said, "Then... can I have a drink with you?"
Tan Rui knew Chen Wei had just broken up with Xu Lili. Although Chen Wei hid it well, Tan Rui could still sense his inner turmoil.
Drinking would both help Chen Wei relieve his worries and bring the two closer together.
Chen Wei understood Tan Rui's meaning and smiled faintly, saying, "Forget it, I've had quite a bit to drink already. I might get drunk if I have more."
"Well, then... next time."
Tan Rui left herself some leeway for the next time she approached Chen Wei.
Chen Wei didn't respond much.
"Oh, by the way, who is this..."
Tan Rui then asked about Liang Yinying.
"She's my friend."
Chen Wei said casually.
"Hello, I'm Tan Rui, Chen Wei's university classmate."
Tan Rui smiled and shook hands with Liang Yinying.
"Hello, I'm Liang Yinying, a friend of Chen Wei's."
Liang Yinying also smiled and shook hands with Tan Rui.
"It seems like you and Chen Wei get along well. Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought you to attend a classmate's wedding."
Tan Rui said meaningfully.
"Haha, of course, we get along well. He's my lifesaver!"
Liang Yinying, after drinking a bit, completely relaxed. She laughed heartily and directly hugged Chen Wei's shoulder, even leaning her head on him.
It was a very intimate gesture.
Tan Rui concealed the slight jealousy in her heart very well. She was somewhat surprised and asked, "Lifesaver?"
"What lifesaver? Don't listen to her nonsense."
Chen Wei shook his head and said.
"What nonsense? If it weren't for you, I'd probably still be lying in the hospital now!"
Liang Yinying retorted.
"What's going on? Tell us quickly!"
Yue Jiawen became interested and asked quickly.
Originally sitting at another table but listening attentively to the conversation here, Wang Li immediately moved over, sat beside Tan Rui, stretched her small head, and looked at Liang Yinying, also wanting to know what was going on.
Liang Yinying then explained what happened in the shopping mall that day to everyone.
Everyone suddenly understood.
Tan Rui felt a little relieved. It turned out it wasn't a big deal. She had thought it was a lifesaving favor, but it was just a coincidence and a small favor.
However, even so, Tan Rui didn't let her guard down.
Liang Yinying was too beautiful!
Even as one of the five beauties of the Faculty of Economics, Tan Rui had to admit that Liang Yinying was not inferior to her, and even outshone her.
The key was that Tan Rui could feel that Chen Wei treated her and Liang Yinying differently!
But fortunately, Liang Yinying hadn't shown too obvious admiration yet. Tan Rui still had a chance.
Liang Yinying continued drinking with Yue Jiawen and Wei Guanglong.
On the other hand, Wang Li asked Chen Wei, "Chen Wei, are you colleagues with that Luo Chen?"
Chen Wei glanced at her and nodded, saying, "Yeah."
Wang Li responded with an 'oh,' looking hesitant to speak further.
Tan Rui's heart stirred and asked, "Chen Wei, how is that Luo Chen? Just now, Liu Jia wanted to introduce Wang Li to him. According to Liu Jia, Luo Chen comes from a wealthy and influential family, especially his cousin, who is the young master of the Chujiang Group. I think, if his character is okay, Wang Li, you might consider it."
"Oh, you're talking nonsense. I don't like him at all. Look at his eyes, sneaky, always looking at people. He doesn't seem like a decent person."
Wang Li said with a disgusted expression.
"It's because you're pretty that he's looking at you. Besides, aren't all men like that?"
Tan Rui said.
"Who said that? Chen Wei isn't like that!"
Wang Li blurted out subconsciously, then immediately blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment.
"I told you so. I still think you should consider Luo Chen. He seems quite compatible with you. What do you think, Chen Wei?"
Tan Rui asked Chen Wei.
Chen Wei glanced meaningfully at Tan Rui, making her somewhat flustered and unable to meet Chen Wei's gaze directly.
"It's up to you to decide whether it's suitable or not. Others' opinions don't matter," Chen Wei said to Wang Li, without saying anything to Tan Rui.
