Marshal's Cannon Fodder Spouse (Transmigration)

Chapter 51

     After hearing Meng Jinhuai's question, Shang Mengzhen couldn't help but take a small step back. She was wearing a pair of stilettos. When she stepped back, Shang Mengzhen's heels hit the stone floor, making a crisp sound. Because the surroundings were too quiet, the sound of the heels was unexpectedly loud.

However, as someone who had some experience in the entertainment industry and had seen big scenes, Shang Mengzhen quickly calmed herself down. She nervously smiled at Meng Jinhuai and said, "General, hello."

Probably because he had a good chat with General Kong, Meng Jinhuai seemed to be in a good mood. He smiled and nodded at Shang Mengzhen as usual, then turned to look at Duan Hengye, waiting for his answer.

Duan Hengye didn't need to think to know that Meng Jinhuai definitely remembered that he met Shang Mengzhen at the banquet a few months ago. And the relationship between him and the female lead … Although "friends" wasn't enough, there didn't seem to be a more suitable word to describe it.

So he nodded and said, "Yes."

After hearing this, Meng Jinhuai slightly narrowed his eyes. If he remembered correctly, there seemed to only be two friends that Duan Hangye had ever admitted to. One of them was the pharmaceutical genius from Amro University, Lan Jingchi, and the other was … the woman in front of him.

No matter how you looked at it, Shang Mengzhen and Lan Jingchi didn't seem to come from the same world as Duan Hengye. More importantly, in just a few seconds, the General actually found a similarity between Shang Mengzhen and Lan Jingchi – Duan Hengye seemed to have helped them out before.

In fact, when he first learned about the relationship between Duan Hengye and Shang Mengzhen, even Meng Jinhuai wasn't sure what Duan Hengye's purpose was. But now, after a few months of observation and waiting, Meng Jinhuai finally came to a conclusion: Duan Hengye was indeed helping Shang Mengzhen that day.

After hearing Duan Hengye admit that he and Shang Mengzhen were friends, Meng Jinhuai once again turned to Shang Mengzhen and said with a smile, "Is that so? Hello."

As a citizen of the Yetian Empire, Shang Mengzhen, like everyone else, often saw news about Meng Jinhuai on the Star Web. But today was the first time she came into close contact with Meng Jinhuai in person. As an artist, Shang Mengzhen was naturally sensitive.

She found that Meng Jinhuai was clearly just greeting her with a smile, but she had the illusion that he could see through her.

But … maybe this wasn't an illusion.

Shang Mengzhen didn't like to deal with people she couldn't see through, even though she still respected this legendary General of the Yetian Empire. But in her heart, Shang Mengzhen had slowly drawn Meng Jinhuai out of her future circle of communication … Shang Mengzhen thought that it was best if she didn't cause any trouble.

Duan Hengye only saw Meng Jinhuai and Shang Mengzhen look at each other with probing eyes in just a few seconds. Then, Shang Mengzhen's expression became a little strange.

Even though Shang Mengzhen was frightened by Meng Jinhuai's gaze, she still maintained her elegance on the surface. She smiled at Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai, then said, "Okay, I'm just here today to express my gratitude to Professor Duan, I won't disturb you anymore." After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for Duan Hengye to say anything else, she lifted her skirt and quickly walked in the other direction of the hall.

When Shang Mengzhen walked away, Meng Jinhuai also turned around and looked at her back. When Duan Hengye saw Meng Jinhuai turn around, he couldn't help but feel strange. In his impression, Meng Jinhuai wasn't someone who would easily be curious about "unnecessary" people.
