Chapter 64: Chapter 064 had once been held in his heart

The person beside him shouted, "Yo, what a coincidence. Ziyi, look who's here!"
Chen Ziyi turned his head. His smiling eyes landed on her and he said calmly, "I thought it was some pretty girl. Turns out it's just Zuo Aiai."
Then, he smiled and extended his hand to Zuo Yunyun who was beside him. He hooked his arm around her shoulder and smiled mockingly.
"Look, your sister who has a sugar daddy is here..."
Suddenly, an awkward silence filled the room. A small business owner who had once admired Zuo Aiai smiled awkwardly and nudged Chen Ziyi's arm.
"Brother Chen, what's wrong with you? Didn't you like sister Zuo Aiai more than any of us in high school? Even if you broke off the engagement, you're still a family...you shouldn't say that..."
Zuo Yunyun's face was also a little embarrassed. "Yes, how can Ziyi say it so directly? There are so many people sitting in this room."
Zuo Yunyun didn't deny Chen Ziyi's words. He was only confirming what was already written in the newspapers.
Everyone felt embarrassed, and no one opened their mouth to ask her to sit down.
They thought that Zuo Aiai would just stand here looking awkward and let them humiliate her.
But when Lin Lingyue looked up at her, Zuo Aiai just stood there with a faint smile, as if the words of Chen Ziyi and Zuo Yunyun had gone in one ear and out the other.
The elegance and indifference of her movements made them all look like clowns.
"Well, either way, we all haven't seen each other for such a long time. Since we are fated to meet here today, I would like to propose a toast to all of you. Eat well and drink well. After drinking, I should go back to my private room," Zuo Aiai said composedly.
As she spoke, she walked to the service desk to get a new glass and filled it up.
"Oh? Private room? I wonder who the person is in the private room with you? Are they an acquaintance of ours? We are all old classmates. It wouldn't be too much to ask your friend to join us for a drink, right?"
Chen Ziyi was obviously determined to fight to the death with her.
The smile on her face was a little stiff. She held the wine glass as if she didn't hear what he said.
"Then I'll drink this glass. Friendship is in the wine, so I won't say much."
After saying that, she threw her head back, put down the wine glass, and turned to leave.
Lin Lingyue had wanted to humiliate Zuo Aiai, but now that she saw her expressionless face, she was even angrier.
In addition to this, Chen Ziyi was trying to embarrass Zuo Aiai. Didn't this prove he didn't care about her anymore?
Everyone here was against Zuo Aiai. Wasn't this a good time for her to take revenge?
As soon as Zuo Aiai touched the door handle of the private room, her other hand was grabbed from behind. Lin Lingyue raised her eyebrows and laughed at her.
"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? We're all from Binhai City. Is your friend who's having dinner with you so shameful?"
Zuo Aiai didn't move, nor did she turn around.
Lin Lingyue thought that she must have guessed correctly. She said mockingly, "Wow, is it really like the newspapers are saying? You've hooked up with a rich old man in his 70s or 80s? It doesn't matter. We won't complain about his age. After all, he's someone you like. We'll definitely give him the time of day."
In the past, Chen Ziyi had held Zuo Aiai in high regard.
No matter what anyone said, he would have risked his life for her.
But now, he watched her being ridiculed without saying a word. Part of him felt as though his heart were breaking, but another part of him took pleasure in exacting his revenge.
