Chapter 95 You're More Popular Than My Dad Now

Guan Qing waited at the kindergarten gate and actually saw Zhou Songyan dropping off his child at school.

She hid behind a tree, her fingernails tearing the bark off.

She heard that Zhou Songyan had taken Li Mai back to the Zhou family's old house.

He actually brought that woman home to meet his parents! Why?

Why would he rather have a woman who has given birth than her?

In what ways is she inferior to Li Mai?

She watched Zhou Songyan get into the car and leave, mesmerized.

She's determined to marry the man she's had her eye on for three years! She's going to marry into the Zhou family! She's going to be a rich wife! She's going to change her destiny! No one can stop her! Anyone who stands in her way will die!

Guan Qing's eyes turned sinister.

Ring ring.

My phone rang.

She saw it was a call from the detective agency and answered it.

"Ms. Guan, we've found out who the father of Li Mai's child is."

Guan Qing gripped her phone tightly: "Who is it?"

"Ms. Guan, transfer the agreed amount to me, and then I'll tell you."

Guan Qing has no money left. She's almost out of money to eat, and her rent is due soon. She only has a three-digit balance left in her bank account.

"Tell me first, then I'll transfer the money to you."

"No, Miss Guan, this is our rule: pay first. You can think about it. I'll hang up now. I'll give you what you want whenever you transfer the money."

The person hung up the phone.

Meow~

A kitten darted past.

Frustrated, Guan Qing picked up a stone and threw it at the kitten, which was frightened and ran away.

Guan Qing clicked her tongue and muttered under her breath, "They didn't even hit it."

An old woman walked by and, seeing Guan Qing's actions, scolded, "You little rascal, how can you be so mean? Did the kitten offend you? You have no compassion at all! You're so wicked!"

"None of your business!" Guan Qing cursed viciously.

The old woman was frightened by her sinister gaze and hurriedly walked away.

...

As Li Mai walked into the company, colleagues, both those she knew and those she didn't, greeted her.

Ji Wangyu walked up from behind: "You're more popular than my dad now."

Li Mai said apologetically, "President Ji, please don't make fun of me. I'm really bothered by their behavior."

She just wanted to go to work quietly and earn some money.

Ji Wangyu curled his lips: "Once you get involved with Zhou Songyan, more and more people will try to curry favor with you, and of course, more and more people will hate you."

Li Mai: "I understand, it's just that people are afraid of becoming famous, just like pigs are afraid of getting fat."

Ji Wangyu turned to look at her, opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately didn't.

The elevator arrived, and the two of them went in one after the other.

Lin Qianyu arrived just before lunchtime.

Wearing a Chanel suit, carrying a Hermès bag, and sporting a head of burgundy wavy hair.

She walked straight to Ji Wangyu's office in her high heels.

Assistant Liu looked at Li Mai, asking if they should stop them.

Li Mai nodded at her.

Assistant Liu hurriedly stopped Lin Qianyu: "Ms. Lin, please wait outside for a moment, I'll go and tell President Ji."

This is President Ji's fiancée, so she dared not offend her and spoke very carefully.

Lin Qianyu frowned slightly.

Thinking that Wangyu would definitely be unhappy if she went in like that.

She then said, "Alright, you go quickly."

Assistant Liu knocked on Ji Wangyu's office door.

"Come in," came Ji Wangyu's voice from inside.

Assistant Liu pushed open the door and went in: "President Ji, Miss Lin is here, she's outside."

Ji Wangyu rubbed his temples. "Let her in."

Assistant Liu came out and said, "Miss Lin, President Ji wants you to come in."

Lin Qianyu glanced at Li Mai, then raised her chin and walked into the office.

Li Mai's shoulders trembled when she heard a sweet "Brother Wangyu".

Ji Wangyu didn't even glance at Lin Qianyu, continuing to process the documents in his hands.

Lin Qianyu walked to the desk: "Brother Wangyu, it's lunchtime, let's eat together. People called you but you didn't answer; they sent you messages but you didn't reply, so I came to the company to find you."

Ji Wangyu didn't even look up: "I'm busy. Also, my assistant has already ordered food for me."

"Brother Wangyu, the takeout isn't good. Shall we go to a restaurant together?"

"Lin Qianyu, I'm very busy, I don't have time."

“Brother Wangyu, I am your fiancée. Uncle Ji said that you should have lunch with me.”

Lin Qianyu brought up Ji Kun.

Ji Wangyu irritably threw down his pen, got up, and walked out.

Lin Qianyu quickly followed: "Brother Wangyu, wait for me..."

The two quickly disappeared on the 17th floor.

Assistant Liu and Assistant Xiao glanced at Li Mai at the same time, and saw that she had a calm expression and did not seem jealous at all.

"Secretary Li, let's go have dinner together."

Li Mai typed on the computer: "You guys go ahead, I'll go after I'm done with my work."

The two walked away hand in hand.

"Secretary Li saw President Ji and Miss Lin leave, but she didn't react at all."

"She already has a son-in-law, why would she be interested in President Ji?"

"Too."

...

Li Mai had just shut down her computer when she received a call from Zhou Songyan.

"Get down."

Li Mai pursed her lips, picked up her bag, and went downstairs.

She came downstairs late, and there weren't many people around. She quickly got into Zhou Songyan's car: "Let's go."

Zhou Songyan chuckled: "What's wrong? It's like we're having an affair."

Li Mai: "I don't want to be watched."

Zhou Songyan didn't say anything, started the car and drove away.

Zhou Songyan took her to Zhang Junzheng's restaurant.

Zhang Junzheng wasn't there, but the hotel manager knew Zhou Songyan and provided excellent service.

When the dishes were served, Zhou Songyan ladled a bowl of soup for Li Mai and placed it in front of her: "It's cold, have some soup to warm yourself up."

Li Mai lowered her head and began to sip the drink with a spoon.

Zhou Songyan's voice has a slightly nasal tone.

Li Mai looked up: "Did you bring the medicine?"

"In the office."

"Don't forget to drink it when you get back."

Zhou Songyan smiled like a cat that had just stolen some cream, leaned close to Li Mai's ear, and breathed hot air onto her earlobe: "Mai Mai, I'm so touched!"

Li Mai awkwardly pushed him away: "Stay away from me, don't infect me."

Zhou Songyan obediently sat back down.

"MaiMai, have some of this."

"This one is good too."

Li Mai glanced at him and quietly continued eating.

Li Mai's phone, which was on the table, rang.

Li Mai saw that it was her older brother Zheng Anze calling.

His eyebrows furrowed slightly.

I put down my chopsticks, picked up my phone, and held it to my ear.

"Big brother."

"MaiMai, Mom is sick, she has cancer."

Li Mai's heart skipped a beat, and it took her a while to find her voice: "Has it been diagnosed?"

"Yes, I've been to several hospitals, and the diagnosis is cancer."

Li Mai didn't know what to say.

Li Shirong didn't like her. She didn't feel any maternal love or warmth from Li Shirong.

They hadn't seen each other for many years.

She thought of Li Shirong, the one who looked at her with such cold eyes.

No matter how much she tried to please her, Li Shirong could always find something to criticize and scold her.

I remember her putting the fried egg into my older brother's bowl without even glancing at him.

I remember her putting the new clothes on my older brother, saying "It fits perfectly," while she watched pitifully from the side.

She remembered asking Li Shirong to take care of Chengcheng for a few days, and Li Shirong scolding her for being shameless, saying that it was her own fault for being so irresponsible and that she should take responsibility for the trouble she caused.
