After hanging up the phone, Xu Yunning quickly ran to her brother's room next door and knocked on the door.
Due to the nature of his work, Xu Zhiyuan has been living a completely different life lately and has only just woken up.
I looked at the time and was about to get up for dinner when I heard someone knocking on the door.
Fortunately, Xu Yunning usually behaves like this, otherwise Xu Zhiyuan would probably think that his house was robbed.
Xu Zhiyuan opened the door and said, "Ningning, can you knock on the door more gently next time..."
"Brother! I've secured an opportunity for you. Ziyi said that to thank us for what happened last time, she wants to treat us to a meal and let us choose the place!" As soon as I opened the door, I heard Xu Yunning was very excited.
"Then let's go to Aunt Cui?" Xu Zhiyuan yawned and rubbed his messy hair.
As soon as he said this, Xu Yunning rolled his eyes.
"Tsk tsk tsk, brother, you're such a blockhead! Ziyi asked to treat you and you actually let her pay! Of course you had to pick an expensive restaurant! And then you treated her!"
When Xu Zhiyuan heard this, he immediately felt that what Ningning said made sense.
Xu Yunning took out her phone and searched. "I remember Ziyi has a few favorite dishes. Why don't you go to Yunyan? The environment and atmosphere there are nice. We can have dinner there in the evening and chat more to improve our relationship."
Xu Zhiyuan looked at Xu Yunning chattering incessantly, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Ningning was really worried about her feelings.
Then he really should work harder and not let his sister worry about him in vain.
"Okay, I'll do as you say. I'll make an appointment with her later. If she asks you, just say you're going too. Then you can say you have something else to do."
Xu Yunning was so moved that she almost shed tears. Her brother finally got it!
"Okay! Brother, will you take a rest tomorrow?"
"Rest, what's wrong?" Xu Zhiyuan asked.
"Then come out tomorrow when you're free, and I'll take you out to clean up!" After saying that, Xu Yunning ran back to the room.
Xu Zhiyuan was left standing at the door, confused.
After eating at her father's house, Jiang Ziyi sat there for a few hours before taking a taxi back home.
She had just reached the 22nd floor and was about to open her own door when Ji Shuyan's door was suddenly pushed open.
Jiang Ziyi saw that he was holding a blue square cake box in his hand.
"My friend opened a new shop and sent me some cakes. Can you please help me try some?"
Jiang Ziyi was about to refuse when Ji Shuyan said, "Just consider it a favor. I don't like sweet things."
Then, Ji Shuyan pointed to the cake box and said, "The address of the cake shop is on this box. If you don't like it, remember to avoid his shop next time."
Jiang Ziyi was stunned when she heard what he said, but then she laughed at him. "Isn't this the cake shop opened by your friend? Why are you promoting it like this?"
Ji Shuyan said seriously: "Even if we are friends, we must be realistic."
He walked over to Jiang Ziyi and handed the cake to her, "Take it."
Seeing this, Jiang Ziyi stopped refusing and said, "Thank you. I will enjoy it."
She was no longer as cautious in communicating with him as when they first met, but instead had a more friendly attitude.
Ji Shuyan was very pleased with this change. It seemed that as long as he took a slow approach, he would be able to break down Ziyi's defenses one day.
Ji Shuyan looked at her with a smile in his eyes, ended his words with "good night", and turned to go into his home.
After Jiang Ziyi entered the house, she picked up the cake and took a look. Sure enough, it was still the cake from that internet-famous shop, but the address had changed because it had opened a branch...
It seems that Ji Shuyan just wanted to find an excuse to send her something.
She was afraid of being associated with Ji Shuyan before, but now, she doesn't seem to be as scared as she was at the beginning...
Jiang Ziyi put the cake in the refrigerator, preparing to enjoy it as afternoon tea tomorrow afternoon. At this time, she received a message on her mobile phone from Xu Zhiyuan, asking her if she had time next weekend.
After Xu Zhiyuan sent the message, he received a reply shortly afterwards.
Seeing Jiang Ziyi say that she had time, he quickly replied: "Then Ningning and I will wait for you at Yunyan at 6 o'clock next week."
Jiang Ziyi replied: [Okay.]
Then Jiang Ziyi washed up and went to bed.
The next day, Xu Zhiyuan finally understood what Xu Yunning meant when she said she would take him to clean up.
Xu Yunning took him to get a haircut and spent a long time picking out clothes.
Based on her understanding of Jiang Ziyi, she comprehensively developed Xu Zhiyuan into the type of person Jiang Ziyi might like.
After a day of hard work, Xu Zhiyuan had completely changed. He used to dress simply and never dressed up, but now Xu Yunning picked out some very designer clothes for him, and he really looked like a trendy and handsome guy.
Xu Zhiyuan looked at himself in the mirror with some doubt, "Do you think Ziyi will really like me dressed like this?"
Xu Yunning patted his shoulder. "Ziyi and I are just like that! Brother, believe me, if you wear this, Ziyi will definitely praise you for being handsome next week!"
Xu Zhiyuan looked at Xu Yunning suspiciously, but it was impossible for his sister to deliberately trick him, so he accepted it doubtfully.
Soon, it was Monday.
Jiang Ziyi got up early to go to work as usual. However, when she entered the company, she felt that the overall atmosphere was not right.
She could clearly sense that many unfamiliar eyes were looking at her with malice.
This feeling reached its peak when she arrived at her department's office. Many colleagues even stood in the distance whispering and then cast disdainful glances at her.
Jiang Ziyi didn't know what was going on. At this moment, the gossipy female colleague sitting next to her came over again and said, "Xiao Jiang, I heard that you are being kept by someone."
She grinned as she spoke. Maybe she had eaten leek dumplings in the morning, so the smell of leeks wafted out as she spoke, making Jiang Ziyi feel nauseous.
Jiang Ziyi replied coldly, "Sister Yu, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want. You should go to the bathroom and brush your teeth to get rid of the smell."
Jiang Ziyi's ruthless rebuke made the woman, known as Sister Yu, blush and reply, "Why are you being so high-minded? You got drunk in the middle of the night and got into someone's luxury car, and Manager Zhang told us all! If you're not being kept, what is? How dare you say you're not?"
Jiang Ziyi's eyes darkened. "Manager Zhang, could it be Zhang Tianhao?" She didn't even know when she got into the luxury car, so how did Zhang Tianhao know?
