Her ex-husband cheated, the mistress forced her hand, and all her deep love was met with betrayal. Thoroughly betrayed and divorced, Su Yan completely shut herself off, vowing to torment all the sc...
Xue Qinxin was like a victorious rooster, almost wagging her tail in the air.
When Song Rurong saw her like this, she couldn't help but laugh.
"Are you that happy?"
Xue Qin felt incredibly proud. "I just can't stand her nouveau riche attitude. She's obviously not one of us, yet she insists on squeezing in. She's both despicable and pathetic."
Following this, Song Rurong asked in confusion, "Yes, she doesn't seem like one of us, but what is her relationship with Meng Jie? How could she know her?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Qinxin let out a cold laugh.
"Can't you see that? Your eyesight is terrible." She scolded him without any politeness. "Look at Meng Jie's face today, can't she guess He Yunxin's identity?"
Song Rurong still looked blank and shook her head vigorously. "If you can't guess, don't keep me in suspense."
Xue Qin sighed deeply, "This Meng Jie, she looks glamorous, but she's actually quite pitiful. She can sit there calmly even though people have entered her so openly."
Song Rurong exclaimed as if she had heard something shocking, "You mean He Yunxin is Yi Ruihua's lover?!"
Xue Qinxin glanced at her with amusement, "What else did you think?"
When Su Yan arrived at the coffee shop after receiving the call, Duan Sisi was busy and flustered all by herself.
She glanced at Su Yan and looked at her as if she had seen a savior.
"Darling, you've finally arrived."
She had just given Su Yan a bear hug when the other customers called out to order.
Duan Sisi didn't dare to look back and went back to her work.
After the two of them finished cleaning up the plate, they finally had a chance to sit down and rest.
Duan Sisi was so exhausted that she collapsed onto the table and wouldn't get up.
Su Yan teased, "Business is booming, big boss."
Duan Sisi snorted in annoyance when she heard her sister's deliberate sarcasm. "You still have the nerve to say that? If it weren't for you, would I have been able to open this coffee shop?"
Su Yan smiled and glanced around the store, not seeing Wenrou, so she asked, "Where's Wenrou? Did she take the day off?"
Duan Sisi sighed, "Ever since her friend's birthday party, she's been on leave until now. It seems like something happened, but I don't know the specifics."
As the two were talking, the wind chimes at the door rang again.
Duan Sisi turned her head with a look of utter despair and mechanically said, "Welcome."
The last character, "δΈ΄," was half-filled in his mouth, and he couldn't spit it out no matter what.
She turned around in surprise and exclaimed, "Why is he here?"
As she spoke, He Ziming had already walked to their table.
"Yan Yan".
He had barely called out when Duan Sisi jumped up from her seat.
"He Ziming, you give me..."
Before she could finish speaking, Su Yan interrupted her: "Sisi, why don't you go to the front desk first?"
Duan Sisi glanced at her worriedly, and although she was unwilling, she still obediently went to the front desk.
He Ziming sat down opposite Su Yan, in the seat that Duan Sisi had previously occupied.
"Yan Yan, are you intentionally avoiding me?"
You're overthinking it.
He Ziming lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "I hope I'm overthinking it. Why didn't you call me?"
Su Yan retorted, "Why should I call you?"
He Ziming stared at Su Yan silently for a long while, then suddenly said, "Yan Yan, your agitation means you've never truly let go of me. In that case, then we..."
Su Yan couldn't listen to him anymore; choosing to talk to him was a mistake.
She stood up abruptly and said, "If you're not going to drink coffee, then leave."
He Ziming called out to her, "Yan Yan, if you need anything, come to Chengyan Technology to find me."
Su Yan rolled her eyes and went to the front desk without looking back.
"Looking for you is a big idiot."
While Su Yan was being harassed by He Zimo, Yi An was caught in a deadly trap and had to be called home.
He looked at Yi Ruihua, who had also appeared at his doorstep, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, before quickly returning to normal.
"Is he/she back to pick up a change of clothes again?"
Yi Ruihua choked for a moment, and before he could explain, Yi An sneered and mocked, "Since it's so troublesome, why not just move your family to her place?"
The voices startled the people inside, and Wu Fen opened the door from the inside.
"Please come in, sir. The food is ready."
When Yi An and Yi Ruihua followed Wu Fen in, they saw Meng Jie sitting alone in a chair in the restaurant, with the table already full of food, an exceptionally lavish spread.
Yi Ruihua was stunned for a moment, then silently took his seat without saying a word.
Yi'an stood there, motionless for a long time.
"You called me back in such a hurry, it wasn't just for a meal, was it?"
His words were full of sarcasm.
Meng Jie didn't even lift her eyelids. "Sit down."
The words carried a sense of command.
Yi An hesitated for a moment, but still reluctantly sat down.
Wu Fen brought over two sets of bowls and chopsticks, then quietly went to the kitchen, leaving only the family of three in the dining room.
A rare family reunion dinner felt like a perfunctory work meal.
Everyone kept their heads down and didn't say a word; the only sound was the chopsticks hitting the bowl.
The atmosphere was unusually deathly still.
Meng Jie put the last mouthful of rice in her bowl into her mouth before slowly putting down her chopsticks.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw her put it down, and Yi'an followed suit.
At the dining table, only Yi Ruihua remained focused on eating.
Meng Jie looked him over, her face expressionless, and spoke.
"You own a technology company, right?"
Not knowing why she suddenly asked that question, Yi Ruihua was stunned, and her hand holding the bowl and chopsticks trembled slightly.
He looked up at Meng Jie with a puzzled expression, but did not answer, instead waiting for her explanation.
However, he doesn't seem to understand the person he's sleeping with.
Meng Jie completely ignored his probing gaze, as if he were giving orders to a subordinate.
"Starting tomorrow, let Yi'an go there."
Not to mention Yi Ruihua, even Yi An was stunned.
"What did I do in the past? I had my own company."
Yi Ruihua couldn't see through Meng Jie's thoughts at all, and slowly followed up, "That's right, Yi An has his own technology company, and besides, I've already hired someone to manage my company."
Meng Jie ignored Yi An's words and turned to look at Yi Ruihua.
"What does hiring someone to manage have to do with Yi An's past? Just let him do what he was in the company, isn't that enough? Yi An isn't young anymore. Let him manage a couple more companies to gain experience so he can take over the Yi Group in the future. Do you have any objections?"
These words left Yi Ruihua no room for objection. He remained silent for a while, but eventually gave in.
"Alright."
The conversation ended, and so did the heartwarming and precious family reunion dinner.
Yi Ruihua made up an excuse and left again, but Yi An chased Meng Jie all the way to the study.
"What are you planning to do now?"
