Lin Yike can now be completely sure that Lu Yuxin was deliberately trying to trick Zhong Xiaoting.
Zhong Xiaoting was unaware of it and was swaying happily in front of the mirror.
"Yike, what do you think?" Zhong Xiaoting was very satisfied with her dressing, but she asked Lin Yike's opinions symbolically, hoping to get some more praise.
When Lin Yike was about to answer, he saw the warning gaze that Lu Yuxin had cast.
Lin Yike was not afraid of her, but she didn't want to cause trouble. So she replied in a normal manner: "The fur is too luxurious. I think that black evening dress is good. Xiaoting, do you want to give it a try?"
She had already given her opinions, but Zhong Xiaoting was completely disdainful of the low-key black dress.
"I want this one, don't change around me, hurry up and choose clothes." Zhong Xiaoting said.
Lin Yike and Lu Yuxin then went to the fitting room.
Lin Yike had just chosen a green cheongsam with artificially embroidered water patterns and green bamboos. It was exquisite and inconspicuous, and it was just right to attend a charity auction. She tried it on her upper body, and the size was just right.
In addition, she also chose a pure white chiffon skirt. The hem of the skirt was just above the knee. The texture of the material was very soft and it was very beautiful under the light. Lin Yike was about to wear it when attending events in the future. It was just a little larger. She asked the clerk to help modify it and pick it up in a few days.
When Lin Yike finished trying his clothes and walked out, he happened to see a farce.
Originally, after Zhong Xiaoting sent Lin Yike and Lu Yuxin, she was also preparing to change her clothes.
While she lowered her head to admire her gorgeous clothes, she walked towards the fitting room. As a result, she didn't see anyone in front of her and directly bumped into a man's arms.
Behind the man, two little followers, looking rich and generous. He squinted his eyes and wandered around Zhong Xiaoting, with stunning and obscene eyes mixed in his eyes.
"What good luck did you leave today? There is also a beautiful woman who takes the initiative to throw herself into her arms. It just so happened that my brother didn't arrange a program at night. Let's go and have fun together." After the man said that, he reached out and grabbed her arm.
The man's body exuded a strong smell of cigarettes and alcohol, which made Zhong Xiaoting couldn't help but feel nauseated. She struggled hard, and the fur shawl slashed down from her shoulders, revealing one side of her snow-white shoulders. Because the long skirt was a low-cut design, the man's squinting eyes almost fell into her chest.
"It's not to dress so beautifully to seduce men. My brother has money. As long as you satisfy me in bed, I guarantee that I won't treat you badly. Let's go..." As the man spoke, he was about to drag Zhong Xiaoting out.
Zhong Xiaoting was so scared that she was so scared that she exclaimed, "You can let go of me quickly. I didn't come alone. If you don't let go, I'll call you."
She shouted quite a bit, but her luck was so bad. The people who just chose clothes in the store were now in the fitting room upstairs. The clerk was either entertaining guests downstairs or helping guests try out clothes upstairs. There was no one on this floor.
Zhong Xiaoting was dragged for a while and suddenly saw a man walking down the stairs. She screamed and ran over, grabbing his arm.
"Brother Zuo Ye!"
"Are you?" Zuo Ye put his hands in his pocket, narrowing his eyes slightly, and looking at her in confusion.
"I am Xiaoting, Zhong Xiaoting. Lin Jianshan's niece." Zhong Xiaoting said urgently.
"Oh, it's you. What a coincidence." Zuo Ye barely recognized her.
When Zhong Xiaoting lived in the Lin family, Zuo Ye had seen her several times, but she was not familiar with her. Moreover, Zhong Xiaoting's appearance changed a lot after six years abroad, so it was normal for him not to recognize her.
As soon as the two of them said a few words, the man chased after him, with two people behind him, full of posture.
Zhong Xiaoting subconsciously hid behind Zuo Ye.
When the man saw Zuo Ye and was stunned, a smile appeared on his face, "It turns out that this beauty came with Mr. Zuo."
Zuo Ye glanced at the man coldly, and was still an acquaintance. When something happened to the Zuo family, the man was one of the people who took advantage of the situation, but he failed to get what he wanted in the end.
Zuo Ye withdrew his gaze and fell on Zhong Xiaoting faintly. He naturally saw her situation.
Although Zuo Ye is unwilling to meddle in other people's business, he is not a person who is cold by nature. A little girl like Zhong Xiaoting will definitely not have a good thing to fall into the hands of such a man.
"She is with me, what's wrong?" Zuo Ye said.
The Zuo family has already made a comeback. The man with a national-shaped face does not dare to offend Zuo Ye easily. He looked at Zhong Xiaoting deeply, and finally took the people away with him tactfully.
Zhong Xiaoting finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly thanked, "Brother Zuo Ye, thank you."
Zuo Ye nodded lightly and looked at his arm with a low look. Only then did Zhong Xiaoting realize that his hands were still holding his arms tightly and not letting go.
Zhong Xiaoting let go of her hands in panic, and her cheeks suddenly turned red with shame.
Zuo Ye withdrew his arm and asked lightly, "Why are you here alone?"
"No, Xiaoke and Yuxin come with me." As soon as Zhong Xiaoting finished speaking, Lu Yuxin appeared.
Lu Yuxin wore a slim long dress that was not silly, but she fully highlighted her tenderness and charm.
Lu Yuxin stood two steps away from Zuo Ye, and did not get closer. She looked at him with a pair of watery eyes.
Zuo Ye's expression was very light, and his eyes just swept through her. If he had not yet walked out of their relationship, he would have only hatred for Lu Yuxin.
"I have something to do, let's go first." Zuo Ye lowered his head and said to Zhong Xiaoting, turned around and left, without even looking at Lu Yuxin.
Zhong Xiaoting subconsciously followed him two steps, looking reluctant.
"Stop watching, everyone has left." Lu Yuxin said coldly. The scene of Zuo Ye and Zhong Xiaoting standing together was very displeased.
A few days ago, she just heard Lu Yutong mention that the Zuo family had a comeback with a high-quality project and had a faint trend of making a comeback. With Zuo Ye's ability, it was only a matter of time before the Zuo family could restore their previous glory. At the time, she was eager to break off the engagement, but Lu Yutong felt a little regretful.
After hearing this, Lu Yuxin was so angry that she almost burst into tears. She cursed in her heart: "After the horse."
At the beginning, she cried and begged and made a fuss, asking them to help Zuo Ye through the crisis. They watched coldly and supported her to break the engagement.
Lu Yuxin is not a prostitute, she doesn't sleep with anyone who has money. She truly loves Zuo Ye, otherwise she wouldn't take the risk and snatch the man from Lin Yike.
But after all, she loves Zuo Ye so much that she loves herself. She wants to be rich and honored with him, but lacks the courage to share hardships.
