Yang Yajing felt her life was utterly worthless—single at 36; meager salary absolutely insufficient to cover her mother's medical expenses.
Her best friend not only stole the man she...
"I think you're the bad guy, aren't you?" Xu Wenbin shook his head. "I need to inform my boss first. Don't worry, he's a good guy!"
“Then use my phone, I’ll make the call!” Yang Yajing said decisively.
Xu Wenbin used Yang Yajing's phone to dial the private number he knew by heart, but before he could speak, Yang Yajing snatched it away.
"Hello? Is this Xu Wenbin's boss?" Yang Yajing asked.
"Who are you?"
"Boss, I'll borrow Uncle Xu for half a day and return him to you tonight. Don't give him extra work, okay? We're going to eat something delicious!" Yang Yajing said playfully, not caring at all that the man was the head of the Xia family conglomerate.
"Little girl, could you please give me your name?" the voice on the other end asked.
"Your surname is Yang, and your given name is Ya Jing. Call this number if it's urgent, otherwise please don't disturb our meal!"
"Yang Yajing? Yang Yajing!" The other end repeated the name twice, then said, "Let Xu Wenbin answer the phone. Don't worry, it's not work."
Yang Yajing handed the phone to Xu Wenbin, who said a few inexplicable things like "Yes, that's right, it's nothing, don't make a fuss" before hanging up.
Once no one was bothering them, Yang Yajing led Xu Wenbin out of the mall.
"What would Ya Jing like to eat?" Xu Wenbin asked.
"Of course, it's a buffet hot pot!" Yang Yajing linked arms with Xu Wenbin. "Uncle Xu must eat light, healthy food in Hong Kong, or he eats at five-star hotels. It's been a long time since he's had such delicious food from a down-to-earth family, hasn't it?"
"It's been a long time since I've had this," Xu Wenbin nodded.
"Let's have some meat today, let's eat something strong! It's 88 yuan all you can eat, you pay!" Yang Yajing said with a smile, pulling Xu Wenbin forward.
"Eighty-eight yuan? All you can eat? Is the hygiene up to standard?" Xu Wenbin was unsure.
"Don't worry! It's already very good!" Yang Yajing's smiling expression seemed to bring back Xu Wenbin's youthful memories of when he was sent to the countryside and returned to his hometown, when he was poor and destitute.
