The weather was sunny over the weekend, but the clouds were thick, and the sunlight seemed to be shrouded in a blurry veil. Fortunately, the breeze was pleasant.
Lin Yue and Jiang Li walked side by side on the mountain path, surrounded by tourists. They enjoyed the scenery, chatted about gossip, and took photos together from time to time.
"The scenery here is so beautiful! No wonder it attracts so many tourists. Even if you can't see the red leaves, it's still great to come here and breathe in the fresh air." Lin Yue squinted her eyes, took a deep breath, and felt the beauty of nature.
"Yes, getting away from the hustle and bustle makes me feel more relaxed."
Jiang Li stood on a large rock, arms outstretched, and turned around with a smile, "Yuezai, take a picture of me quickly."
Lin Yue held up her phone and took pictures from various angles. "Okay, do you want to see them?"
Jiang Li nimbly jumped down, clapped her hands, and said, "I trust your skills. Just send it to me on WeChat."
Lin Yue walked to the other side, gazing at the distant scenery, and said regretfully, "I should have brought a camera. My phone can't capture the beauty that the naked eye can see. What a pity."
"How about we come again in the fall?"
Jiang Li was looking down at her phone, a slight smile playing on her lips, seemingly oblivious to what Lin Yue had just said.
After receiving no response for a while, Lin Yue turned around and walked to her side. "What are you doing? Why are you laughing so happily?"
Jiang Li put away her phone, smiled, and took her arm. "Yuezai, Mo Yanhuan said he's here with a client and wants to invite us to dinner."
"What a coincidence!" Lin Yue asked, somewhat surprised.
"Yeah, isn't it a coincidence? Okay, Yuezai, let's go together. We'll go back after dinner, okay?"
"But I..."
"No buts, please." Jiang Li shook her arm. "He brought clients this time, and I'm afraid I'll feel awkward by myself. Please keep me company, okay? For your sister's happiness, please help me out."
Lin Yue hesitated for a moment, but faced with Jiang Li's coquettish offensive, she couldn't resist and nodded, "Okay, we'll leave after we finish eating, no lingering."
"I love you so much, Yuezai." Jiang Li excitedly cupped her face, gave her a kiss, leaving a drool mark.
Lin Yue never imagined that this moment of weakness would push her and Song Yunzheng into an abyss...
Upon arriving at the business hotel at the foot of the mountain, Mo Yanhuan was already waiting at the entrance.
He was dressed in a black suit, well-tailored with smooth lines, and his tie hung down gently, complementing his composure and maturity.
Jiang Li's eyes lit up when she saw him, and she ran up to him, "Mr. Mo, have you been waiting for a long time? Where is the client?"
"We just arrived too. Our clients are in a private room. I was worried you might have trouble finding it, so I came out to greet you." Mo Yanhuan's peach blossom eyes were always filled with a smile.
Upon entering the private room, Lin Yue looked in surprise at the people sitting upright in the chairs: Jiang Kerou and Sun Jianyan.
Before Lin Yue could speak, Jiang Kerou spoke first: "Oh, isn't this Lin Yue? So you're on good terms with President Mo. It's a pleasure to meet you."
“Mrs. Song, it’s great to see you again. What a coincidence! Let’s have a good drink today.” Sun Jianyan stood up with a smile.
Jiang Li was slightly surprised and leaned close to Lin Yue's ear to ask softly, "Yuezai, you all know each other? Then it seems that inviting you to stay for dinner was the right thing to do."
Lin Yue's mind was racing, and her heart sank to the bottom. Although time had passed, the hurt that Jiang Anxin and Lin Qingguo had caused her would not disappear with the passage of time. She did not want to have anything to do with this person.
As for Sun Jianyan, President Fu's secretary, who tried to seduce Song Yunzheng in Shanghai, she wanted to have no further contact with him.
If Song Yunzheng knew, he definitely wouldn't let her eat here, and he might even be furious. But is it too late for her to leave now?
"Since we know each other, let's sit down and chat." After saying that, Mo Yanhuan sat down next to Lin Yue without making a sound.
At the dinner table, Sun Jianyan was like a chameleon in social situations, charming and tactful. After a few rounds of drinks, she and Mo Yanhuan engaged in lively and eloquent conversation.
"Lin Yue, let me toast you, as a way of apologizing on behalf of An Xin." Jiang Kerou raised her glass, a gentle smile on her face, but her eyes were icy cold.
Just as Lin Yue was about to refuse, Mo Yanhuan spoke up first: "President Jiang, Lin Yue can't drink alcohol; she's allergic to it. Let's have juice instead."
Lin Yue looked at him in surprise. She had casually mentioned to him once that she was allergic to alcohol, and he actually remembered it.
Jiang Kerou immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Mo is truly meticulous. Any woman who can marry you is truly blessed."
Mo Yan laughed without saying a word.
She then looked at Lin Yue, raised her glass, and said, "I'll drink mine, you can drink as you like."
Lin Yue was quiet and elegant. She gracefully picked up the juice, took a small sip to moisten her tongue, but did not drink it.
Mo Yanhuan sat calmly to the side, casually toying with her wine glass, her gaze fixed on the red wine in the glass, but her peripheral vision kept watching Lin Yue.
Seeing that Lin Yue only took a small sip and didn't drink it, Jiang Kerou became anxious and desperately tried to signal to him with her eyes.
However, Mo Yanhuan seemed not to hear, instead a smile played on her lips, the slight upward curve of which seemed to say, "Don't worry, she can't escape."
Jiang Li, who was standing to the side, was already drunk as a dazed person. She stood up unsteadily, holding a wine glass, wanting to toast Mo Yanhuan, but as soon as she turned around, she felt dizzy and spilled red wine all over herself.
Seeing this, Lin Yue quickly got up to help her, took off her coat which was stained with red wine, and then put her own coat on her.
