Over the next few days, Jian Yu had a great time.
Finally, it was only after his assistant made a series of frantic phone calls that he had no choice but to return to China with Kenneth Fok.
Huo Qizhen dropped Jian Yu off at home and then hurriedly went to the company to meet an important client.
Jian Yu had just finished drinking a glass of water when Huo Tingzhen came over from next door. "You guys are finally back! I've been so bored."
"Didn't Bao Yanbai contact you?"
"Don't mention him."
"Didn't he already talk to his grandmother?"
"We did talk, but the result was not ideal."
"His grandmother wants you to get married soon?"
Huo Tingzhen nodded, "I don't know why the old lady is so obsessed with getting married and having children? It's as if if Bao Yanbai doesn't get married before she passes away, she'll be a monk for the rest of her life."
Even Jianyu couldn't understand it.
Bao Yanbai tries every day to persuade his mother and grandmother.
In an attempt to persuade them to change their minds, Bao Yanbai brought in his father and grandfather, only to be scolded by them instead.
Bao Yanbai was caught in the middle and lost a lot of weight.
"You said yesterday that the heiress of the Xuri Group is still hung up on Bao Yanbai?"
"Mrs. Bao told me."
"Is she really that devoted? Even in this situation, she still can't bear to give up."
"The Bao family promised to give them a piece of land, a piece of land they had been thinking about for a long time. Even if Miss Bao gives it up now, her father will not agree."
"Aren't you afraid that Bao Yanbai will be moved by her? She seems to really like Bao Yanbai."
Huo Tingzhen glared, "He dares!"
Jian Yu couldn't help but laugh. "If you like Bao Yanbai, why do you insist on refusing to see him out of spite? You know perfectly well that he rejected other people."
"I'm just angry!"
"Aren't you afraid he'll take it seriously, think you really don't want him anymore, and then choose to marry someone else?"
Huo Tingzhen looked at Jian Yu with a serious expression, "Do you like my brother?"
Jian Yu nodded.
"So, my brother wants to marry you now?"
Jianyu, “…”
Huo Tingzhen clicked his tongue. "That solves it."
“Our situations are different.”
"They're all the same."
Jian Yu shook her head and chose to change the subject, "Let's go eat hot pot! I've been away for so many days and I really miss our local food."
"OK!"
The two went to a hot pot restaurant and enjoyed their meal immensely.
As he was preparing to leave, Bao Yanbai called Jian Yu.
Huo Tingzhen pouted, "Is this some kind of roundabout way to achieve your goal?"
Jian Yu chuckled, "Of course! It's because you didn't see him or answer his calls."
Huo Tingzhen gestured for Jian Yu to hang up.
Jian Yu knew that Huo Tingzhen was being hypocritical; the truth was that she had already reached out herself.
So, I pressed the connect button.
"Hello?"
"Jian Yu, help me call Ting Zhen home."
Bao Yanbai's voice was full of suppressed pain, and it was clear that something was wrong.
After Jian Yu and Huo Tingzhen exchanged glances, Huo Tingzhen asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"
"We've fallen into a trap set by Xuri Group and my mother."
Bao Yanbai didn't want to implicate his mother, but if he didn't, Huo Tingzhen would definitely suspect that he was trying to get close to Xuri Group.
The situation will only get worse.
"What kind of set?"
Huo Tingzhen subconsciously pressed for an answer, then realized what he'd said, "Holy crap! No way?"
"Yes." Bao Yanbai breathed heavily. "Come back quickly! I'll be waiting for you at our house."
Huo Tingzhen took off running.
Jian Yu took two steps and then stopped.
They're just being affectionate with each other, why is she going to join in? She should just go home!
When Jian Yu and Huo Tingzhen came out, they only rode in one car.
After Huo Tingzhen drove away, Jian Yu had no choice but to stay where she was and wait for Uncle Li to send another driver to pick her up.
The wait was rather long, so the bodyguard accompanied Jian Yu to a nearby shopping mall for a stroll.
Jian Yu wandered aimlessly through the crowd.
Her mind wasn't on shopping; she was more concerned about Huo Tingzhen's situation. It wasn't surprising that Xuri Group did this, but the key question was how Mrs. Bao could collude with outsiders to deal with her own son.
Just as Jian Yu was about to find a place to sit down and rest, a familiar yet slightly surprised voice rang in his ears: "Jian Yu? Is that you?"
Jian Yu turned around and saw Yan Shi carrying large and small bags, and the stunningly beautiful Feng Mi.
When Feng Mi saw Jian Yu, he hooked his arm around Yan Shi's.
Yan Shi's eyes flickered, but she didn't look away.
Staring at Yan Shi's hands, Jian Yu frowned slightly. "Didn't you say that doctors can't lift heavy objects? If they get injured, they won't be able to hold the scalpel properly."
Feng Mi, "..."
Looking down, Feng Mi felt a little guilty. There were only seven luxury bags. They shouldn't be heavy, right?
However, she still took the tote bag from Yan Shi's hand.
There was no obstruction when he spoke.
"What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here."
He smiled brightly as he spoke, but his eyes seemed to conceal a complex emotion that was difficult to detect.
Feng Mi's smile still carried a hint of hostility. "Jian Yu, long time no see. I heard you've been doing well lately?"
Jian Yu nodded, "Yes, it's not bad. What about you two? Looks like you're getting engaged?"
When the engagement was mentioned, Feng Mi's face finally showed genuine joy. "Yes, we're getting engaged in a few days, and we're out buying things for the engagement now."
"You came to the mall to choose it yourself? Why didn't you have it delivered to your home?"
Feng Mi said, "I'd like to go for a walk with Yan Shi alone."
As he spoke, Feng Mi deliberately raised a small, exquisite jewelry box in his hand, inside which was a sparkling diamond ring.
Jian Yu said, "Congratulations! I hope you will always be happy."
Feng Mi finally said "thank you" to Jian Yu for the first time!
"Jianyu, what do you want to buy? Let's take a look together!"
Feng Mi's smile froze, and he glared at Jian Yu. "You dare to agree and see what happens?"
Jian Yu shook her head. "No, I'm just browsing around today, I don't plan to buy anything."
Just then, the bodyguard walked up to Jian Yu and said, "Miss Jian Yu, the driver sent by Uncle Li has arrived. We should go back now."
Jian Yu nodded. "I'll be going now. Congratulations on your engagement, goodbye."
Yan Shi and Feng Mi watched Jian Yu leave until her figure disappeared into the crowd.
Feng Mi smiled again, "Let's go for another stroll over there!"
Yan Shi impatiently swung one leg and muttered under her breath, "Feng Mi, I've been shopping with you for three whole hours. Isn't that enough? If you really can't take it anymore, just have the manager deliver everything from the store to your home, and then you can take your time picking things out!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Feng Mi, waiting for the other party's response.
Feng Mi, “…” You care that much about Jian Yu’s suggestion?
A moment later, Feng Mi suddenly grabbed Yan Shi, saying, "No."
She grabbed his arm and started walking forward, saying, "I want you to come shopping with me."
Yan Shi tried to break free from Feng Mi's hand, "But I'm already tired. And I have an important surgery tomorrow."
Feng Mi persisted, forcefully pulling Yan Shi forward, "Dean Bai has already suspended all your recent work, and you have no surgeries scheduled for tomorrow. So, you have plenty of time to go shopping with me now."
Yan Shi sighed helplessly and shrugged. "Never mind, I need to go back and rest now. If you want to wander around, just stay here and take your time!"
Feng Mi still refused to let go.
Yan Shi finally lost her temper, forcefully shook off Feng Mi's arm, and turned to walk towards the mall exit.
Jian Yu had just closed the car door when he looked up and saw Yan Shi walking quickly out of the mall with a displeased expression.
Her heart skipped a beat. Yan Shi came out alone. Could they have had a fight?
He quickly shouted to the driver, "Drive! Let's go!"
To everyone's surprise, the driver looked embarrassed and turned around apologetically, "Ms. Jian Yu, I'm really sorry, there's a car blocking our way ahead, so we can't move it for the time being."
"......"
Please, whatever you do, don't come over here!
