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...
The person who arrived was none other than Jiang Xuanxuan, whom we hadn't seen for a long time.
"Brother Pengfei! It's been so long since I've seen you! I miss you so much!" As expected, Jiang Xuanxuan didn't let Zhou Pengfei have his way. As soon as she entered the room, she went straight to Zhou Pengfei's seat.
"Long time no see." Zhou Pengfei simply nodded and looked away, hoping Jiang Xuanxuan would realize he wasn't in the mood for small talk and would leave sensibly.
But who is Jiang Xuanxuan? She's not so easily appeased.
"Brother Pengfei, are you drinking tea alone? That must be so boring. Xuanxuan, why don't you keep him company and talk to him?"
Just as Zhou Pengfei was about to say, "No need," because he was waiting for someone, he saw Jiang Xuanxuan sit down opposite him.
Not only did he sit down, but he also noticed the bracelet on the table: "Brother Pengfei, did you make this bracelet yourself? Is it a gift for Xuanxuan?"
“Yes…” Before Zhou Pengfei could finish speaking, Jiang Xuanxuan reached out and picked up the bracelet.
"Wow! Xuanxuan really likes the handmade bracelet! How did Pengfei know Xuanxuan would like it?" Jiang Xuanxuan spoke as if the bracelet was definitely meant for her, which made Zhou Pengfei uncertain.
"When will the clouds arrive?" Zhou Pengfei asked in a low voice.
"Hmm? Is Brother Pengfei calling me?"
This ambiguous answer confused Zhou Pengfei again. But he knew very well that if 'Yun Shijin' was Jiang Xuanxuan, then he would no longer be 'Zhifengcao'.
"Jiang Xuanxuan, do you usually write letters by hand?" Zhou Pengfei tried to find out indirectly.
"A handwritten letter? It's the 21st century, nobody would be that old-fashioned, right?" Jiang Xuanxuan was both surprised and a little mocking.
Zhou Pengfei didn't mind her sarcasm; in fact, he breathed a sigh of relief—'Yun Shijin' wasn't Jiang Xuanxuan, that was great! He still had hope!
At this moment, Yang Yajing's voice appeared behind Zhou Pengfei: "Jiang Xuanxuan, this bracelet is Zhou Pengfei's plan to give to his girlfriend, right? It's not good for you to steal her away like this."
"Yang Yang?"
"Yang Yajing?"
Both of them spoke in unison, and both had expressions of surprise.
"Does Brother Pengfei have someone he likes?" Jiang Xuanxuan asked, looking disappointed.
"Didn't you just call out someone's name? You just didn't understand!" Yang Yajing took the bracelet from Jiang Xuanxuan and returned it to Zhou Pengfei.
"Did you hear that? Xuanxuan didn't hear it?"
"Your name is 'Yun Shijin,' right?" Yang Yajing said this to Zhou Pengfei.
"Okay!" Zhou Pengfei took the bracelet and put it in his pocket.
"'Yun Shi Jin'? What a weird name!" Jiang Xuanxuan pouted.
On second thought, if Zhou Pengfei was waiting for his girlfriend, wouldn't her sitting here just ruin the whole thing?
Zhou Pengfei appeared on television and won an award, which, in Jiang Xuanxuan's eyes, meant he had gained some fame. Wouldn't it be a waste not to have such a handsome young man by her side?
Isn't Zhou Pengfei close to Yang Yajing? Humph! Wouldn't it be even better if Yang Yajing joined in ruining his plans?
Thinking this way, she did just that: "Yangyang! Since we've run into each other, why don't we have some tea together? Anyway, my brother's girlfriend hasn't arrived yet, and even if she does, she should be a reasonable and understanding person, so she won't mind, right?"
"But I..." Zhou Pengfei was interrupted by Yang Yajing before he could finish his sentence.
"She doesn't mind!" Then she sat down next to Zhou Pengfei, "It's a good opportunity to compare him to Cheng Yaojin!"
Zhou Pengfei was internally screaming, "What the hell?!" There were so many Cheng Yaojins! One Jiang Xuanxuan wasn't enough, now Yang Yajing was joining in too. What was going on? Was he destined to be a bachelor for life?
Especially Yang Yajing, what's wrong with her today? She didn't even ask for his opinion before ordering a whole bunch of extremely expensive things.
"Jiang Xuanxuan, since you invited us to sit down, it's not unreasonable for you to treat us to this food, is it?"
"Huh? Xuanxuan is treating?" Jiang Xuanxuan was taken aback.
"Huh? Does that mean your brother Pengfei is going to treat us?" Yang Yajing put on an exaggeratedly apologetic face. "Zhou Pengfei, I'm so sorry! Did you bring enough money? I ordered such expensive things, will it use up all your living expenses? How about we split the bill?"
"You know..." Zhou Pengfei didn't get a chance to say the words "I have money."
"I know, I know, you're so simple-minded! It was my fault! How about we cancel? We can't dine and dash!" Yang Yajing continued her act.
"The food is already served, how can we return it?" At this point in the performance, Zhou Pengfei roughly understood that Yang Yajing was deliberately making Jiang Xuanxuan bleed!
He disliked Jiang Xuanxuan, especially since she had touched his bracelet, which made him even more bothered. Since she wouldn't leave, he figured he might as well make her spend some money!
At worst, the meeting might fall through, and he can explain it later.
"Just say we have no money, and ask them to be kind and apologize?" Yang Yajing knew Zhou Pengfei understood, so she acted even more naturally.
"Isn't it embarrassing?" Zhou Pengfei said, while stealing a glance at Jiang Xuanxuan.
Sure enough, Jiang Xuanxuan would never do something so shameful: "Brother Pengfei, Xuanxuan is treating, Xuanxuan doesn't want Brother Pengfei to lose face! Yangyang is really something, how could she let Brother Pengfei do something so embarrassing like Yangyang?"
"Jiang Xuanxuan, are you treating?" Yang Yajing completely ignored Jiang Xuanxuan's other words and waved again, "Waiter, bring me a ginseng soup with black-boned chicken!"
"Yangyang, you've ordered so much, we won't be able to finish it, will we?" Jiang Xuanxuan reminded her.
"They only serve 100 servings of ginseng soup and black-boned chicken every day. Since Zhou Pengfei is here, we should give him a chance to try it, right?" Yang Yajing said, taking the opportunity to offer her own. "It costs several hundred yuan a serving. It would be such a pity if he missed it!"
