"You really broke up with Xiao Ren?" Seeing Cheng Qicai's timid and guilty appearance, Ms. Yun understood everything. Her suddenly raised voice almost pierced Cheng Qicai's eardrums.
Cheng Qicai retorted stubbornly, "What do you mean by breaking up? We haven't even started dating yet..."
Under Ms. Yun's sharp gaze, Cheng Qicai's voice grew softer and softer.
"Mom, we're outside now, you need to be mindful of the consequences," Cheng Qicai immediately reminded her.
Ms. Yun glanced outside; there were still many neighbors around. Suppressing the urge to curse, she gritted her teeth and said, "I'll talk to you when I get back."
Seeing how angry Ms. Yun was, Cheng Qicai deeply regretted coming back without thinking.
I just won money, and I'm already being scolded.
Joy turns to sorrow!
When she got home, she saw that Mr. Cheng, who had returned sometime earlier, was already cooking with an apron on. Cheng Qicai, being very perceptive, ran to the kitchen to help him, thus avoiding contact with Ms. Yun.
"What? Did you upset your mother again?" Mr. Cheng asked her patiently.
Cheng Qicai muttered to Mr. Cheng, "My mother knows that my relationship with Ren Baiping is over."
"Ah... what happened?" Mr. Cheng was also somewhat surprised. "You said Xiao Ren was quite good, right? How come... it's over?"
"It's just... I don't feel anything, and he's planning to go abroad for joint training," Cheng Qicai explained.
"Oh!" Mr. Cheng nodded knowingly. "If she goes abroad, it's indeed not easy to continue. What about your mother..."
"Before I even had a chance to say anything, she started to get angry."
"It's okay, I'll talk to her about it later," Mr. Cheng reassured her.
Cheng Qicai nodded, touched. She knew that coming back with Mr. Cheng would help her control Ms. Yun's temper.
To be honest, Ms. Yun's temper wasn't this bad before, but it was all because her father had a good temper and always gave in to her, no matter what she was doing, which is why Ms. Yun's temper gradually grew.
She helped Mr. Cheng bring the last dish to the table and carefully sat down.
"Bei Xiu, don't be angry. I just asked, and it's not Qi Cai's fault this time. It's Xiao Ren who plans to go abroad." Mr. Cheng served Ms. Yun a bowl of soup and explained on behalf of Cheng Qi Cai.
When Mr. Cheng said it wasn't her fault, Cheng Qicai lowered her head guiltily and took a sip of soup.
But she didn't dare tell the truth, otherwise even Mr. Cheng probably couldn't save her.
"Going abroad? Why didn't your uncle mention it?" Upon hearing this, Ms. Yun frowned.
"He just came up with this idea and hasn't told his uncle yet. Anyway, we're just a little bit out of sync. Being friends is fine too." Cheng Qicai fawned over her, picking up a piece of bamboo shoot with her chopsticks and giving her a flattering smile.
Mr. Cheng helped her, saying, "We had a serious talk with Qicai this time, but since we weren't meant to be, no one can blame anyone else."
Cheng Qicai nodded in agreement.
Hearing their explanation, Ms. Yun's expression softened a bit. "Alright, you two stop playing along. I knew you two had agreed on this in the kitchen before you came out."
Seeing Ms. Yun's expression, Cheng Qicai knew that this matter was about to be put behind them.
She admired Mr. Cheng's helpfulness; she no longer needed to worry about this bombshell exploding.
Ms. Yun took a sip of soup and continued, unwilling to give up, "It's unavoidable that Xiao Ren went abroad. We can't ruin his future. If he doesn't succeed this time, we'll look for others next time. I don't believe there can't be someone who is both suitable and can succeed."
Cheng Qicai nodded.
Although she gets a terrible headache just thinking about blind dates, and Ms. Yun's attitude has clearly softened, she still doesn't dare to say that she doesn't want to go on blind dates.
Ms. Yun continued her nagging, "Before I met your dad, I was introduced to so many girls before I finally met him. And now you're all so worried about such a small thing. You've been working for so long, why are you still so hesitant and indecisive..."
Cheng Qicai listened and knew that Ms. Yun had misunderstood her intention to come back. However, she was still very touched by what Ms. Yun had said, and she understood the concern in Ms. Yun's words.
She just wished Ms. Yun could change her sarcastic way of speaking someday, though she knew it was unlikely.
After enjoying a comfortable meal at home, Cheng Qicai, seeing that it was almost time, said goodbye to Ms. Yun and the others and returned to her rented apartment.
When she returned to her rented apartment, she didn't just lounge on the sofa like she usually did. Instead, she turned on her computer and began to seriously consider the advice Lu Qi had given her.
She had thought about it before, but after looking at other people's experiences online, she still felt confused.
But she felt she should look at the issue from another angle, perhaps she should look for something that interested her?
She took out a notebook and carefully analyzed her own abilities, interests, and personality.
Looking at her entire body, which could be summed up in just a few words, she closed her eyes in despair and squeezed her stress-relieving squirrel.
She was quite grateful to Lu Qi for giving her this opportunity, but unfortunately she really couldn't think of anything!
She racked her brains and thought that, given her personality, opening a small supermarket might be a good option.
Although the idea was simple, Cheng Qicai's requirements were not high; she just wanted to earn a profit that was slightly higher than her salary.
As she spoke, Cheng Qicai went online to look up some information and wrote out a simple plan for opening a supermarket.
She planned to share this idea with Lu Qi whenever she had some free time.
The next day at work, she secretly observed Gu Liji's office and felt a pang of anxiety when she saw the door open.
She had just arrived at the office when Lin Fengjie asked her to deliver some documents to the office.
Cheng Qicai looked at the pile of documents with a troubled expression, then glanced at Lin Fengjie who was busy at work. She gritted her teeth, picked up the documents, and went to the office.
She knocked on the door and went inside after receiving permission.
Seeing that the chair was empty, she looked around curiously and saw a familiar figure sitting on her left.
When she finally saw the person, she breathed a huge sigh of relief. It wasn't Gu Rongqi, but Gu Liji.
She walked over and placed the documents on the table. "Mr. Gu, the documents!"
"Okay, put it here!" Gu Liji nodded.
The document had been delivered, and Cheng Qicai turned to leave.
"Hey, Seven Colors!" Gu Liji suddenly called out to her.
A bad feeling washed over her, and she turned around to ask, "What is it, Mr. Gu?"
"Close the door first, I have something I want to ask you." Gu Liji looked at the wide-open door and gestured for her to close it first.
Cheng Qicai glanced at him suspiciously, but still obediently went to close the door.
