Chapter 019: Rejection – The Uncle Who Fell in Love with His Beautiful Sister-in-Law
Liu Yan turned around listlessly, her beautiful face falling. She kept shaking Gu Mingxia's hand, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Xiaxia, you know I can't face Zhang Yunyi."
Gu Mingxia raised her eyebrows, watching Liu Yan's troubled and helpless expression with amusement, her eyes sparkling with a smile.
"so what?"
"How about I give you Zhang Yunyi's phone number, and you can go find him yourself?"
Liu Yan pouted, clasped her hands together, and kept acting coquettishly towards Gu Mingxia.
Before Gu Mingxia could speak, her phone kept ringing on the table. Gu Mingxia quickly picked it up; the caller ID displayed was "Hang up as soon as you see a call."
"Don't answer, hang up immediately..."
Before Liu Yan could finish speaking, Gu Mingxia had already answered the phone and put it to Liu Yan's ear.
"Yan'er, is there something you need from me?"
Zhang Yunyi's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone. Liu Yan didn't even have time to dodge. With a bitter face, she glared fiercely at Gu Mingxia.
"Um... Yun Yi, Ming Xia wants to ask you to investigate something. Are you free?"
"Okay, then let's meet at the 7UP Hotel tomorrow night!"
"Okay, I'm hanging up now!"
After saying this, Liu Yan quickly hung up the phone, then glared at Gu Mingxia fiercely before sitting on the sofa like a deflated balloon.
"Xiaxia, you're killing me!"
Gu Mingxia sighed helplessly, sat down next to Liu Yan, and reached out to hold her slightly cool hand.
"Liu Yan, whatever happens, you have to deal with it. Running away like this isn't a solution, you understand?"
Liu Yan felt weak all over, tilted her head and leaned on Gu Mingxia's shoulder, closed her eyes, and her long, curled eyelashes trembled slightly.
"Xiaxia, I can't face Yun Yi just thinking about what happened that night! He... is Yun Qi's younger brother after all!"
Looking at Liu Yan's pained and helpless expression, Gu Mingxia patted her small hand and said softly.
"Yanyan, I don't know what happened, but many things can only be solved by yourself. You know, no matter what, I will always support you!"
Liu Yan let out a long sigh of relief, sat up straight, smiled at Gu Mingxia, and reached out to pinch her face, which was as smooth as a peeled egg.
"I'm fine. Since you're free anyway, could you check Waiting's accounts for the past few days? I'm going out to discuss some things, and I'll go with you to the 7UP Hotel tonight!"
Gu Mingxia nodded, and Liu Yan smiled and left the office with her handbag.
The accounts at Waiting Bar are actually quite clear, just a little messy these past two days. Liu Yan is simply not cut out for accounting; she can make mistakes even with such simple figures!
Gu Mingxia shook her head at the sight. She turned on her computer, thought for a moment, and then her fingers began to fly across the keyboard.
Liu Yan hadn't returned by noon, so Gu Mingxia ordered takeout and ate while working on her computer.
Finally, when Liu Yan returned in the evening, she had finished typing the last letter.
"Liu Yan, your accounts are actually easy to keep track of, but you're not good with numbers and always end up with messy records."
Gu Mingxia pulled Liu Yan to sit in front of the computer, while she stood to the side to show her the results of her work over the course of the day.
"Here, this is an accounting tool I designed especially for your bar. You just need to fill in the names listed on it every day, and a spreadsheet will pop up at the end of the month. Just save the spreadsheet, and everything will be fine!"
"Oh, Xiaxia, you're my savior! Thank you so much!"
After watching Gu Mingxia's demonstration, Liu Yan immediately kissed her on the cheek, her eyes full of smiles.
"Alright, it's getting late, let's go to 7UP!"
Liu Yan felt a little uncomfortable after Gu Mingxia said that, but she still got up and walked out.
The two drove to the 7UP Hotel quickly. As soon as they entered, they saw Zhang Yunyi, dressed casually, sitting in a window seat, lost in thought.
Seemingly sensing that someone was watching him, Zhang Yunyi returned and was momentarily stunned when he saw Gu Mingxia and Liu Yan, but quickly revealed an elegant smile.
"Mingxia, Yanyan, over here."
He pulled out chairs for the two women and waited until they were seated before sitting down himself.
"Yan'er, it's been so long! How are you...?"
Liu Yan bit her lip, lowered her head and thought for a moment, and finally looked up at Zhang Yunyi with a beautiful smile.
"Very good! But you seem to have forgotten something!"
"What is it?" Zhang Yunyi stared intently at Liu Yan, his eyes filled with undisguised admiration.
"Yun Yi, you should call me sister-in-law! Yan'er... only your brother can call me that!"
