Chapter 079: The Woman Behind

"But isn't Liu Jia trying to introduce Wang Li to Luo Chen? Wang Li said she's not interested, but who knows if she really isn't interested. Oh well, forget about it, hurry up and finish your drink, you've only had one glass?" Jiang Chen said indifferently, then without waiting for a response, she poured another glass of beer for Chen Wei.

Chen Wei's eyebrows furrowed slightly at these words. Luo Chen was cunning and not particularly ethical. Chen Wei instinctively didn't want Wang Li to be with him. However, he didn't feel inclined to interfere in such matters. He had his own worries; how could he have the energy to worry about others, let alone the authority?

He then drank with Yue Jiawen and others for a while. He had hoped that drinking would alleviate his melancholy, but it only made things worse. Yet, he kept a calm demeanor, so Yue Jiawen and the others didn't notice anything amiss.

After they drank another glass, the host went on stage. Following, the six bridesmaids, including Wang Li and Tan Rui, as well as Liu Jia, the bride, also went up on stage. Liu Jia and Wang Li had changed into hot outfits, short shorts, and tank tops.

As soon as the seven sexy beauties took the stage, the atmosphere below quieted down, and all eyes were fixed on the stage.

"Now, let's enjoy a dance performance brought to us by the bride and her bridesmaids. Please welcome them!" the host announced, prompting the crowd to erupt in excitement, applause, whistles, and cheers.

Chen Wei and the others stopped drinking and watched the stage. Once the performance began, Chen Wei couldn't help but be impressed. Although they weren't professional dancers, the seven had considerable dance skills. Coupled with their stunning looks and figures, they ignited the entire venue.

Even Yue Jiawen and Wei Guanglong, who were initially indifferent, stood up and cheered along with everyone else. However, Chen Wei remained seated calmly.

Jiang Chen seemed excited, swaying to the beat beside him. She even pulled Chen Wei, saying, "Why sit there? Let's dance together!"

Chen Wei smiled and shook his head.

They danced well, and Chen Wei felt a bit uplifted, but it was fleeting. He preferred tranquility and disliked such noisy environments, especially now, after the breakup. Amidst the exuberance of others, he felt his loneliness more keenly.

Just then, a hand rested on his shoulder.

Chen Wei turned to look.

Lian Yingying.

Chen Wei smiled.

Genuinely smiled!

In his loneliest moment, this woman appeared!

Silently standing behind him, silently entering his heart!

"What's wrong?" Lian Yingying asked, with a hint of concern in her eyes.

When she entered, she immediately noticed Chen Wei!

He seemed so out of place!

She immediately sensed his loneliness!

Chen Wei stood up, looked at Lian Yingying, and smiled, "You're here? Sit."

Chen Wei didn't answer Lian Yingying's question but pulled a chair for her.

Lian Yingying greeted Yue Jiawen, Jiang Chen, and the others with a smile before sitting down.

"They danced really well," Lian Yingying said sincerely, watching Liu Jia and the others dance on stage.

"They did, these are the big beauties of our college. By the way, I'm Yue Jiawen, I've lived in the same dorm with Lao Chen for four years. What should I call you?" Yue Jiawen approached Lian Yingying quickly.

"I'm Lian Yingying," Lian Yingying smiled at Yue Jiawen and said.

"I'm Wei Guanglong, nice to meet you," Wei Guanglong also came over and said.

Lian Yingying smiled at him too and said hello.

Jiang Chen and the others sat down, and Chen Wei briefly introduced them.

Except for Jiang Chen and Wu Tingting, who were more enthusiastic, the other four girls were indifferent. Chen Wei and Lian Yingying didn't care.

"Yingying, do you drink?" Yue Jiawen asked.

"Sure!" Lian Yingying agreed cheerfully.

"Refreshing! I like women like you! Oh no, I didn't mean I like you, no, forget it, let's drink!" Yue Jiawen rambled for a bit, getting more confused as he went along. He poured a glass of beer for Lian Yingying and himself.

Jiang Chen and the others didn't drink, so there were no drinks for them to join in. Only Wei Guanglong picked up his glass and clinked it with Lian Yingying's.

Chen Wei accompanied them for two glasses but couldn't keep up. His alcohol tolerance wasn't up to par.

After dancing, Wang Li and Tan Rui changed back into their usual clothes and came over. Tan Rui had been keeping an eye on Chen Wei's side while dancing. When she saw Lian Yingying suddenly appear next to Chen Wei, a hint of wariness arose in her heart.

Originally, after Chen Wei and Xu Lili broke up, Tan Rui thought her chance had come. Although Wang Li was also interested in Chen Wei, Tan Rui knew Wang Li well enough to realize that Wang Li might not even be aware of her feelings for Chen Wei yet. Moreover, Wang Li was studying for her master's degree in Kyoto and wouldn't be a direct threat.

But now, this woman who suddenly appeared next to Chen Wei made Tan Rui somewhat vigilant.

A woman's intuition told her that this woman would be her biggest rival!
