It was twelve o'clock after all this trouble. Just when I was feeling a little sleepy, I heard the door opening. I subconsciously opened my eyes, turned over and looked towards the door.
Sure enough, it was Lu Jinghuai who came back, and there seemed to be a hint of coldness between Lu Jinghuai's eyebrows.
"Are you back?"
Lu Jinghuai's eyes warmed up a bit when he heard Lin Yan's voice: "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"I can't sleep." Lin Yan's voice was a little soft, not sure if it was because it was night time or because she was a little sleepy.
As she spoke, Lin Yan yawned slowly, obviously feeling sleepy.
"I'll take a shower and come join you."
The sound of water could be heard in the bathroom, and Lin Yan actually fell asleep in a daze accompanied by the sound of water. Not long after, she felt someone lying down beside her and holding her in his arms.
Lin Yan subconsciously wanted to open her eyes, but Lu Jinghuai gently patted her shoulder.
"Go back to sleep."
Lin Yan tried several times, but fell asleep before she even opened her eyes.
In the following days, the cooperation between Song and Lu went smoothly, and Song Jingya seemed to be busy with internal struggles and never appeared in Lu again.
However, Lin Yan could occasionally hear gossip about the Song family from Tong Miaomiao. Generally speaking, Song Jingya was arrogant and domineering, and her illegitimate son Tang Zexing was often troubled.
Originally, everyone disliked the term "illegitimate child" and subconsciously distanced themselves from Tang Zexing, but later they inexplicably felt some sympathy for Tang Zexing.
Tong Miaomiao once lowered her voice and said, "I saw the photo of Tang Zexing. He's really good-looking. You know I'm obsessed with looks. I can't help but like good-looking people."
Lin Yan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry after hearing this, but she didn't pay much attention to the Song family's affairs, mainly because she was not interested.
If Song Jingya didn't come to him to show her presence, she would focus more on her own life.
The days passed slowly.
The next time Lin Yan heard about Ji Mingyuan was when he sent her an invitation to the Ji family's engagement party. As expected, the woman was not Liao Wen, but a Miss Zhou.
Lin Yan didn't recognize the name and subconsciously looked at Lu Jinghuai. Lu Jinghuai also glanced at the name on the invitation.
"Miss Zhou is the second daughter of the Zhou Group. They mainly run a jewelry fashion brand."
The marriage between the Ji family and the Zhou family can be regarded as a strong alliance.
"Does Miss Zhou know Liao Wen?" Lin Yan couldn't help but feel a little awkward.
"You should know." Lu Jinghuai said calmly, "There are no complete secrets among wealthy families."
There are too many temptations in this circle. Ordinary people don’t have only one girlfriend in their lifetime, let alone these heirs.
Whether it's a mistress or any other relationship, just get rid of those people before getting married.
Lu Jinghuai's expression didn't change much, but Lin Yan understood what he meant and couldn't help but complain.
[It's a mess. None of the men are good.]
Lu Jinghuai was silent for a moment, feeling that he was being taken out on, but he opened his mouth and closed it again, unable to explain.
Lin Yan was a little worried about Liao Wen's condition. After thinking about it, she sent a message to Liao Wen.
"Are you free this weekend? Let's go shopping together?"
Liao Wen replied quickly: "Sure, see you this weekend."
Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that since she could still make an appointment, the situation shouldn't be that serious.
Lu Jinghuai naturally saw Lin Yan and Liao Wen dating but didn't say much. At first, he actually didn't agree with Lin Yan and Liao Wen becoming friends.
Liao Wen was a complicated person, but he didn't try to stop Lin Yan and Liao Wen after they became friends.
After Lin Yan agreed on a place and time, she had just logged out of WeChat when she felt the man's hand beside her making trouble.
"Stop it, I'll book a restaurant for the weekend."
Lu Jinghuai beside him did not calm down, but instead seemed to have a bit of grievance in his tone.
"I've been vegetarian for a week, and you have to spend the weekend with someone else."
Lin Yan curled her lips. Wasn't it because she had her period that she had been eating vegetarian food for a week? She acted as if she had let Lu Jinghuai down.
Lin Yan was about to argue, but the man beside her covered her mouth.
Lin Yan was also aroused by the kiss and stopped resisting.
After a ridiculous night, the next day was a working day. Lin Yan almost didn't wake up and was five minutes late.
When Lin Yan hurried to the company to punch in and was shown as late, she was so angry that she took a photo and sent it to Lu Jinghuai.
"Because you're five minutes late, I lost my perfect attendance bonus this week. It's all your fault."
It showed input in progress, and then a transfer of 5200 was sent over with a note about full attendance award.
Lin Yan snorted and accepted the transfer without any hesitation. Tong Miaomiao, who was standing beside her, saw that Lin Yan's originally sullen face suddenly turned into a smile, and couldn't help but lean over to take a look.
She couldn't help but tsk tsk twice: "Sitting next to you, I can smell the sour smell of love every moment. It's so annoying. It makes me want to fall in love."
Lin Yan came back to her senses and glanced at her: "Then let's fall in love."
Tong Miaomiao lay listlessly on the table: "I want to talk but I can't. My family is arranging a blind date for me. You don't know how weird those blind date candidates are..."
Tong Miaomiao became excited as she spoke, and she sat up straight and started complaining to Lin Yan about all the blind dates.
…
In the blink of an eye, it was the weekend. Lin Yan and Liao Wen met at a restaurant at noon. They had lunch and went shopping.
When Lin Yan arrived at the restaurant at the agreed time, Liao Wen was already in the private room.
She observed Liao Wen's expression for a moment and found that she didn't look as haggard as she had imagined. Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
When Liao Wen saw Lin Yan's gaze, she understood the purpose of this "shopping date".
She couldn't help but chuckle, and when she saw Lin Yan had already sat down, they took the initiative to speak after ordering their dishes: "You don't think I'll be desperate if I know Ji Mingyuan is getting engaged, do you?"
Lin Yan paused. Seeing Liao Wen take the initiative to speak, her expression calm, she no longer hesitated and shook her head in denial: "It's not that I'm worried about you directly. Are you okay?"
Liao Wen drank the tea provided by the restaurant. The mist blocked her view. She paused and spoke again.
"It's okay. I've already resigned from Ji's."
Lin Yan was not surprised, but continued to ask: "What will you do next?"
"I don't know either." A rare flicker of confusion flashed across Liao Wen's eyes. "According to the TV series, I should be returning to my hometown or moving to a foreign country."
"But my hometown is North City. I don't know where to go in this foreign country. I have lived in North City for more than 20 years."
Lin Yan was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke again: "Didn't you invite me to work on a project when we first met? Asking me to invest? I have money now, do I still need investment?"
Liao Wen burst into laughter. "No, sister, you've really gotten rich, haven't you? You actually invested 15 million just to make me happy. Why don't you just support me?"
Lin Yan glanced at her, and Liao Wen also put away the smile on her face.
