Chapter 19: Everyone's even.

She asked first.

Li Mai didn't know what to say, and after getting into the car, she asked, "Mr. Zhou, where are you being taken?"

Zhou Songyan tilted his head: "Unit C08, No. 58 Chunfeng Road".

The image of yesterday's kiss floated into Li Mai's mind again, and a blush crept onto her cheeks.

Zhou Songyan stared at her profile, a slight smile playing on his lips.

I was about to say something when I caught a pair of bright, darting eyes in the back seat.

He stopped.

Some topics are not suitable for children.

Li Mai drove to Unit C08, No. 58 Chunfeng Road.

"Mr. Zhou, we've arrived."

Zhou Songyan unbuckled his seatbelt: "Would you like to come in and have a seat?"

"No, we have other things to do."

"What's up?"

Li Mai: "..."

"I made plans with a friend."

"who?"

Li Mai gritted her teeth: "My senior, the one you saw the day she bought the car."

Li Mai really didn't want to explain.

Who is Zhou Songyan? He's neither her boyfriend nor her husband. The way he questioned her made her uncomfortable.

She replied that she just wanted to leave quickly and didn't want to get entangled with him.

It's not a man.

Zhou Songyan felt relieved, unbuckled her seatbelt, and got out of the car.

Li Mai drove away immediately after he got out of the car.

I'm home.

Li Mai checked the price of the child safety seat Zhou Songyan bought and transferred the money to him.

[Mr. Zhou, thank you for buying the child safety seat. Please accept the payment.]

Zhou Songyan returned the money: "It's just a pittance, who do you think you are? I bought it because I wanted to, it's for Chengcheng, it has nothing to do with you, don't flatter yourself."

Li Mai: "..."

She thought for a moment and then transferred the money back: "Mr. Zhou, I know you have money, but I'm not used to taking advantage of others. You should keep it."

Zhou Songyan quickly returned the money.

[Li Mai, if you share this again, I'll make you regret it.]

Li Mai: "..."

She didn't turn around again.

Thinking that Chengcheng is also Zhou Songyan's son, it's not a big deal for Chengcheng to spend some of his money.

Since Zhou Songyan didn't want the money, and the car was retrieved, she also treated Zhou Songyan to a meal.

We're even now.

There was no need for her to contact Zhou Songyan again.

So he deleted Zhou Songyan's WeChat and phone number.

Although it was a bit like kicking someone after they'd served their purpose, she was afraid she might not be able to resist contacting Zhou Songyan one day.

She needs to focus her attention on her work and on Chengcheng now.

Ji Wangyu is very busy, and Li Mai is also very busy as a result.

Once I got to the company, I never stopped working.

However, her busy schedule kept her fulfilled, leaving her no time to think about Zhou Songyan.

Her life is filled with work and Chengcheng.

It's so nice not to think about Zhou Songyan; I don't have to be bothered by certain emotions.

When the weekend came, Li Mai invited You Huan to her home for dinner.

She cooked several dishes.

You Huan was in a bad mood: "Li Mai, I want to drink."

Li Mai ordered alcohol via her mobile phone.

"I'll stay with you, but I can't drink."

She is allergic to alcohol.

He vomits violently as soon as he drinks alcohol.

However, there are advantages; you don't have to drink with clients, which saves you a lot of trouble.

Every time she accompanied Ji Wangyu to a social event, he would drink, and she would be responsible for taking him home.

The wine arrived quickly.

Li Mai poured You Huan a glass of wine and placed a glass of water in front of herself.

You Huan picked up the glass and downed it in one gulp.

Li Mai: "Drink slowly, you'll get drunk if you drink too fast."

You Huan: "I just want to get drunk right now, it would be good to be drunk."

"Senior, what's wrong?"

"He came to see me again."

Li Mai was taken aback: "Your ex-boyfriend?"

"Um."

Li Mai had never met You Huan's ex-boyfriend; she only knew that his surname was Sheng.

The two have been together for six years, breaking up and getting back together on and off.

You Huan resigned because of her ex-boyfriend.

That person was her boss.

According to You Huan, they were in a secret relationship and had not made it public.

Li Mai thought the man was a real scumbag for being able to keep it a secret for six years.

She was happy for You Huan after her breakup.

But that person came back to find the senior, over and over again. When will this ever end?

How annoying!

You Huan downed another glass of wine, a mocking smile on her face.

“Li Mai, do you know? He has a fiancée. His family arranged it for him, and the wedding date has already been set.”

"I've waited so many years, and this is the result. He said he wouldn't go public with our relationship, okay, I'll wait. He said he'd take me home to meet his parents when the time was right, I'll wait. He said he'd give me a grand and romantic wedding, I'll wait."

"But what did I get in return? His wedding date with another woman."

“I was like a fool. He went on blind dates and I didn’t know. He dated other people and I didn’t know.”

"I even found out about his wedding date from the news."

"Okay, I accept being cheated on. I accept wasting six years of my life. I quit my job, I distanced myself, but he came back to me."

“Li Mai, do you know what he said to me?”

Li Mai's face was full of anger. "What did he say?"

You Huan slammed the quilt down on the table, making a crisp sound.

“He said he had no choice and couldn’t go against his family. But he loves me, he can’t live without me, and he wants me to be his mistress.”

Do you think he's mentally ill?

Li Mai said indignantly, "Who does he think he is? How dare he make such a request! It's disgusting! Senior, you didn't agree, did you?"

After taking a sip of her drink, You Huan said, "If I agree, I'd be crazy!"

Li Mai let out a breath: "Senior, you're awesome!"

You Huan was initially quite upset, but Li Mai's words made her laugh.

"I regret not hitting him with a broom yesterday."

Li Mai: "If I were there, I would have chased him for eight blocks with a kitchen knife."

You can't actually chop someone up; just scare him a little.

You Huan laughed and fell onto her.

"Li Mai, you're so cute, just as cute as my godson."

Li Mai tilted her head and looked at her: "Senior, are you feeling better?"

You Huan: "Yes, that's wonderful."

"Actually, I was completely disappointed in Sheng a long time ago. His shady actions have made me lose all the little bit of affection I had for him."

"I'm the one who's heartbroken and depressed. How could I have let myself waste six years on a jerk? I despise myself just thinking about it."

Li Mai patted her and comforted her, "Senior, it's okay. Everyone encounters a few jerks in their life."

"You've finally gotten rid of that scumbag, congratulations! Let that old man go to hell, let's find some young, fresh meat, he's a hundred times better than him!"

I heard that the guy surnamed Sheng is already 35.

An old man.

Whoever wants it can take it!

You Huan loved Li Mai's little mouth to death, and rubbed her face: "Ahhh, little sister, you're so good at talking, I love it! Old men are really no good, they're not good at stamina, let's find some young and fresh men together."

Li Mai's focus tonight is on providing emotional value.

"Mmm, let's find it!"

"Senior, what are your plans next?"

You Huan: "I plan to travel for a while and then come back to look for a job."

"That's good. Going out for a walk might help you relax. You might even meet a handsome young man you like."

"Thank you for your kind words."

You Huan eventually got drunk, and Li Mai helped her to her room to sleep.

Chengcheng had already taken a shower and gone to bed.

She cleaned the table, took the dishes to the kitchen to wash, and then took a shower before going to bed.

But she couldn't sleep.

I thought of Zhou Songyan.

You Huan has let it go.

She hasn't let go yet.
