Chapter 111: Incompatible Aura
"A factory worker said the noodles here are delicious. After listening to their description, I was so greedy that I came here to eat once. Hurry up and line up, or you won't be able to eat if you are late." Yu Yin pulled Xiang Yue to line up together. Her biggest expectation for food is that it tastes good, and everything else is secondary.
Xiang Yue was here for the first time, and she looked around, observing the environment. She hadn't eaten at such a small restaurant in a long time. When she was in college, Yu Yin and Mo Qianyao took her there more often, and she would never eat there alone.
Suddenly, Xiang Yue saw a familiar figure. He couldn't believe it was her, so he looked at her several times before he was sure. Xiang Yue patted Yu Yin's hand and asked, "Is that Tong Mai?"
Hearing the sound, Yu Yin looked over and said, "It seems so, but it also seems not so."
Xiang Yue said uncertainly, "She probably wouldn't bother coming to a shabby place like this."
There were four people living in their university dormitory, and Tong Mai was the fourth roommate, but she had a bad relationship with any of them, and she isolated the three of them by herself.
At the beginning of college, Yu Yin and Mo Qianyao became close because they were two poor students with similar consumption concepts and could eat together. They introduced each other to part-time jobs and sometimes went out together.
Tong Mai looked up at the sky. She looked down on them and treated them as if they didn't exist. She only treated Xiang Yue as her roommate.
Xiang Yue is a centrist and can play with both sides, but her relationship with Tong Mai is relatively better.
Although they each have their own factions, they can barely maintain superficial peace. If they have any dissatisfaction, they just complain privately and don't express it openly.
One time, Yu Yin and Mo Qianyao were about to return to school after finishing their part-time jobs when they saw Tong Mai arguing with a plainly dressed middle-aged man. They figured they were roommates after all, and since she was in trouble, they should help.
They walked over with the intention of helping, and Tong Mai's faces changed when she saw them. She turned around and left without saying a word. The middle-aged man also followed her and kept chasing her, asking her not to be angry.
Yu Yin and Mo Qianyao were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
After this incident, Tong Mai became a thorn in the side and often targeted them.
The dispute between the two factions was put on the stage, and Xiang Yue was often called by Tong Mai to be the judge, wanting her to join him in dealing with them.
After a while, Xiang Yue became impatient and said to Tong Mai, "Can you please stop looking for trouble?"
Because of this sentence, Tong Mai put Xiang Yue on the side of Yu Yin and Mo Qianyao, thinking that they were working together to bully her.
Xiang Yue, who was automatically labeled, was too lazy to struggle. She and Yu Yin and the others became closer and closer, almost inseparable.
Later, Yu Yin and Mo Qianyao found out why Tong Mai was targeting them.
The middle-aged man was Tong Mai's father. She wasn't as wealthy as she appeared to be. Her parents were ordinary workers who had given everything they had to support her. Tong Mai was just trying to be rich by not wearing anything other than branded items, driven by vanity.
After they caught her with her father, Tong Mai was devastated. Her defense mechanism was activated and she took the initiative to tell them not to use this as an excuse to bully her.
Mo Qianyao and Yu Yin were more wronged than Dou E. They had no idea at that time and did not have such thoughts. Who could have thought that Tong Mai's train of thought was so bizarre.
After graduating from university, Yu Yin thought she would never see Tong Mai again and they would just be strangers. Unexpectedly, Tong Mai joined the company where she worked, and they ended up in the same department and later on, the same team.
Yu Yin felt that he and Tong Mai had different auras, and that nothing good would happen if he met her.
The department's tender documents were leaked, and Tong Mai and Yu Yin were both suspected. Tong Mai testified against her, saying that she was the one who leaked the documents.
Yu Yin was about to find evidence to fight back, but Liang Lisheng intervened, her guilt was confirmed, she was involved in a lawsuit, and had to sign a compensation agreement.
Later, Liang Lisheng intervened again to clear her name. She would not be grateful to this man. All the troubles she had encountered in her life were caused by him. The leak was found to be intentional by Tong Mai who had received money from others.
After Yu Yin learned that Tong Mai had been sentenced and faced a huge amount of compensation, she stopped paying attention to Tong Mai...
Tong Mai felt as if someone was looking at her. She looked up and found that it was Xiang Yue and Yu Yin. They were glamorous, while she was down and out.
Tong Mai's self-esteem was shattered. She got up in a hurry, not even daring to meet them face to face. She left through the back door of the breakfast shop.
On the afternoon of the second day, Yu Yin saw that the site was piled with waste and garbage and had not been cleaned up yet. Xiang Yue had already mentioned this matter a few days ago.
She asked Mr. Bai's subordinate, Manager Qi, "Have you hired anyone to clean up the garbage? It's going to be very difficult to clean up after it's been piling up there for so long."
"Yes, someone will come to clean it up today."
"That's good. Sorry, I've noticed it hasn't been cleaned up these past few days, so I'm asking again."
Manager Qi quickly said, "It's okay. Ms. Liang is concerned and it's only natural for her to ask."
Soon, Yu Yin saw the cleaning team approaching, and she discovered Tong Mai among them. It was fate's twist and trick to run into someone you hadn't seen in a while, and then a second time.
Yu Yin just took a look and then went about her own business. She would not pay attention to unimportant people.
Xiang Yue also discovered Tong Mai. She was really curious about how Tong Mai became so miserable. She walked towards the pile of garbage and wanted to say a few words to Tong Mai.
Tong Mai felt like a thorn in her back, her self-esteem completely shattered. She thought Xiang Yue was humiliating her, so she avoided Xiang Yue.
Xiang Yue noticed Tong Mai's avoidance, but she thought it was better to just forget it and pretend she didn't see it. Their relationship wasn't that good anyway, so she didn't want Tong Mai to take her concern as ill intentions.
In the evening, Yu Yin was getting ready to leave after get off work, so she had to go back to pack her luggage.
Xiang Yue still has to work overtime, but Yu Yin will return to the capital tomorrow, so she and Yu Yin are going to have dinner together, and Mr. Bai is also among them.
Mr. Bai said he would take them to eat local specialties, because they couldn't taste such authentic flavors outside Lincheng.
The three of them chatted as they walked, not paying attention to their steps for a moment. Xiang Yue and Mr. Bai were treading on the slippery steps, while Yu Yin was searching for her phone in her bag, a step behind them.
Seeing Xiang Yue about to fall, Yu Yin reacted quickly and grabbed her. Xiang Yue also supported Mr. Bai. The three of them managed to maintain their balance and avoid falling down the stairs.
But they couldn't move and needed help because the place where Xiang Yue and Mr. Bai were standing was slippery, and the steps below were also slippery. If they moved again, they would easily fall to the ground due to inertia.
Mr. Bai shouted Manager Qi's name, and Manager Qi came over in response. Others also came out when they heard the noise.
The three people were finally rescued safely, but if they fell from such a long and high staircase, they would be seriously injured if not killed.
Yu Yin felt like her hands were about to break. She grabbed the stair railing tightly, otherwise she would have lost the strength to hold on.
