Chapter 61: Let her give up completely

Guan Qing looked Li Mai up and down.

This woman is really beautiful, and her skin is great too.

But so what? Zhou Songyan was the one she set her sights on first, and no one can compete with her for him.

“Miss Li, you said you don’t know me well, so let me tell you about my story with Songyan.”

Li Mai remained silent, waiting for her to continue.

Guan Qing snorted coldly in her heart.

Li Mai is really good at keeping his composure.

Then she'll make him give up completely.

She took a sip of coffee and smiled, saying, "I met Songyan three years ago. He was working at the branch office in Bingcheng, and I happened to be there too, but I didn't know he was a member of the Zhou family."

"Later, when Songyan was injured, I saved him."

Li Mai's heart tightened: "Why was he injured?"

Guan Qing: "I was ambushed."

Is it serious?

"She fainted and was taken to the hospital where she needed seven stitches."

Li Mai's fingers, which were gripping the coffee cup, turned white.

She was unaware that Zhou Songyan had experienced something like this.

Guan Qing continued, "Songyan and I hit it off immediately, and we often eat and travel together."

"Not long after, we got together. He sent me abroad to study. Although we were separated for two years, we never lost contact and often talked on the phone."

"Now that I have completed my studies and returned home, I can finally stop being separated from Songyan."

Li Mai lowered her head, picked up her coffee and took a quick sip, forcing down the unease that welled up inside her.

Zhou Songyan is a big liar; he even said he had no relationship with Guan Qing.

They've already gotten together, but they still say it's okay.

So what did Guan Qing mean by contacting her?

Do you know about her relationship with Zhou Songyan?

Guan Qing observed Li Mai's appearance with a cold smile.

“Men are always restless, I understand. Songyan may be a little interested in Miss Li, but now that I'm back, I hope Miss Li will keep her distance from my boyfriend.”

“I can overlook what happened before, but I don’t want to see Ms. Li have any contact with my boyfriend in the future.”

Li Mai's face burned.

Although she and Zhou Songyan had nothing going on, Zhou Songyan contacted her multiple times.

“Ms. Guan, I did not harass Mr. Zhou. If Mr. Zhou is your boyfriend, please keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn’t bother me.”

Guan Qing gritted her teeth, her eyes turning somewhat sinister.

"Miss Li, you're just a lowly secretary at Ji's company, as insignificant as an ant in our eyes. Where do you get the audacity to say that Song Yan is harassing you? It's ridiculous!"

"Don't try to fool me. I know what you're thinking. You're deliberately keeping Songyan in suspense, making him chase after you, deliberately attracting his attention, and making him unable to resist you."

"Keep your ulterior motives to yourself. If I find out, things won't be this peaceful today."

After giving her warning, Guan Qing walked away haughtily in her high heels.

Li Mai was furious, but had no way to express her grievances.

When Ji Wangyu returned to the company, he saw that Li Mai's workstation was empty. Just as he was about to ask the two assistants, Li Mai walked up from behind.

He didn't look too good.

"President Ji."

She greeted them and then went to her workstation to sit down.

Ji Wangyu pursed his lips and went into his office without saying anything more.

Just before she was about to leave work, Li Mai received a call from You Huan: "Li Mai, let's have dinner together tonight. It's so cold, let's go eat hot pot."

Li Mai was feeling down and wanted to talk to someone.

"Senior, my car broke down and I haven't been able to get it back yet after it was repaired. Could you come pick me up in a bit?"

She had texted Zhou Songyan yesterday to pick up her car, but he said he was away on a business trip and wouldn't be back for two days.

She asked him for the address so she could pick it up herself, but Zhou Songyan didn't reply.

You Huan: "Okay, I'll go pick you up first, then go back to pick up Chengcheng."

...

Li Mai got on the bus.

You Huan couldn't help but complain: "What's wrong with your used car? It's only been a short time since you bought it and it's already broken down."

Li Mai: "I might have been scammed. I shouldn't have bought it at a bargain price. There must have been something wrong with the car to justify such a large price reduction."

You Huan: "Unscrupulous used car dealers!"

"Fortunately, you only spent 20,000 yuan, so you didn't lose too much."

"That's the only way to put it. This repair will probably cost another sum of money."

"I advised you to buy a new car, but you wouldn't listen."

"Senior, I regret it, please don't scold me."

Li Mai turned to look out the car window, her eyes wandering.

You Huan: "What's wrong?"

"Senior, Zhou Songyan has a girlfriend named Guan Qing. She came to see me today."

You Huan frowned: "Didn't you say Zhou Songyan didn't have a girlfriend?"

“He lied to me. His girlfriend was studying abroad before, but she’s back now.”

"That scumbag is so despicable! He has a girlfriend and still tries to mess with you. Luckily you didn't agree to be with him, or you would have become a third party for no reason."

"Why does his girlfriend want to see you?"

Li Mai lowered her head, her hair obscuring her expression.

"Warned me to stay away from Zhou Songyan."

"Damn it! Why is she warning you? It's Zhou Songyan who's been bothering you! If I were here, I'd curse her out!"

Li Mai did not speak.

You Huan was silent for a while before saying, "Li Mai, Zhou Songyan isn't any good either. You should let him go. I'll introduce you to some young and handsome guys."

Li Mai said softly, "Senior, I also want to let go."

Zhou Songyan was the first and only man to make her heart flutter.

Over the years, her heart and soul have been filled with thoughts of him, longing to meet him again and to reunite with him.

However, after meeting him, Zhou Songyan's identity made her hesitate.

She could clearly see the distance between them, a distance she would find difficult to bridge.

During this time, Zhou Songyan kept appearing in front of her. She carefully guarded her shaky heart, afraid that she would impulsively fall head over heels again.

Guan Qing's words today brought her to her senses completely.

But she still can't completely let go of Zhou Songyan.

It may take her a long time to let go.

You Huan felt uncomfortable listening to this.

"You're too rigid in your thinking, it makes life tiring for you. You should learn from me."

"I was with that guy surnamed Sheng for so many years, was I heartbroken after we broke up?"

"No, I immediately found a young and handsome guy. I'm in a great mood now and have long forgotten about the Sheng family."

Li Mai smiled and said, "Senior, I admire you."

She also wants to be in a state like You Huan.

She is indeed stubborn.

I used to be confused about why my mother didn't love me.

For many years afterward, her heart remained with Zhou Songyan.

You Huan: "Listen to me, some feelings can be transferred. Once you find a younger man, you can forget about that scumbag Zhou Songyan."

"We'll see."

"Stop talking, I'll call two young heartthrobs over right now."

Seeing that You Huan really picked up her phone to make a call, Li Mai hurriedly said, "Senior, no, Chengcheng is still here."

You Huan had no choice but to put down her phone.

"Having children means you're not free anymore; you can't even go out and have fun."

Li Mai is in an even worse situation; she doesn't even have anyone in her family to help take care of her children.

Other people have their parents to help them out, but she didn't have a good relationship with her mother, and she didn't even have time to rest during her postpartum period.

After giving birth, Li Mai's mother did not show her face.
