Chapter 128 A Different Reunion
As the year draws to a close, shopping malls are crowded with people.
Lin You and Feng Yi discussed it and decided to choose a popular brand bag for each of their mothers, focusing on fairness and justice, and trying their best to satisfy both sets of parents.
After buying the bags, the two of them went shopping in the supermarket on the underground floor.
Lin You walked between the shelves, choosing the items she needed to buy. Feng Yi quietly followed behind her, pushing a cart and sorting the goods in the cart.
"Do you like candy?" Feng Yi was a little surprised when he saw her holding a box of candy.
Lin You shook his head gently, "It's not for me to eat. It's Chinese New Year, and you can meet children anytime and anywhere. Keeping candy in your bag can sometimes save a lot of trouble."
Feng Yi recalled that during the Chinese New Year last year, he was surrounded by a group of children making noises. He still feels a little overwhelmed now. If he had some candy at that time, maybe he could have gotten rid of those little ancestors.
"You are quite attentive."
The longer Feng Yi and Lin You were together, the more he felt that every aspect of the woman before him satisfied him, except...
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that he got along too well with Lin You, which made it seem unreal.
Isn’t it said that when people are in love, they are sensitive and will magnify even the smallest things infinitely?
But in the two months of being together with Lin You, they have never had any conflicts.
She had no sensitivity, and neither did he...
After coming out of the supermarket, the two went straight to the underground garage.
In the distance, many staff members wearing mall work badges stood respectfully around a black car, as if waiting to greet some important person.
Feng Yi was holding a plastic bag and chatting casually, "This big shot is quite different. Shouldn't a big shot walk through the main entrance of the mall and make a grand entrance like a domineering CEO in a TV show?"
Lin You chuckled, "Who knows, maybe this is a tyrant who doesn't follow the usual path..."
Before she finished saying the word "General", she suddenly saw someone getting out of the car.
Lin You didn't expect that the next time he saw Shi Jingyuan would be in such a situation.
She had anticipated many reunions, and had also anticipated that they might never meet again in their lifetime, but she had never anticipated this.
Feng Yi saw Lin You's face suddenly turn pale, and immediately frowned, and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Lin You came back to his senses, his lips trembled, and he managed to make a sound.
"Yeah, I suddenly feel a little dizzy."
Feng Yi didn't make any connection between her loss of composure and the man who was the center of attention in the distance.
They were from two different worlds, so he never thought about it in that direction.
Feng Yi nervously raised his hand to hold her arm, "I'll take you to the hospital."
Lin You pursed her lips and said, "No, I'm much better now. My mom is going home tonight too, so I'll ask her to check on me later."
Feng Yi thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay."
In the distance, Shi Jingyuan stood in the crowd, staring intently in the direction where Lin You was standing.
Lin You stood with a man of the same age as her. The man held a shopping bag in one hand and held Lin You's arm with the other.
The man's concern for Lin You was clearly visible in his eyes.
Shi Jingyuan didn't know what the relationship between them was, but this scene was glaring to him.
A slight dull pain rose from his heart. He stood there in a daze, forgetting to respond to his subordinates' respectful greetings.
He Xuan, who got off the car, saw that he was in a daze, followed his gaze, and was also shocked when he saw Lin You.
Then, He Xuan concealed the surprise on his face and replaced it with a numb and calm expression.
He reminded Shi Jingyuan, "Mr. Shi."
Shi Jingyuan came back to his senses, calmed down his expression, and shook hands with the mall manager.
Under the enthusiastic guidance of the mall manager, Shi Jingyuan and others walked into the employee elevator nearby.
He Xuan was walking at the end and couldn't help but look back in the direction of Lin You.
His eyes met Lin You's, but Lin You looked away as if he didn't see it.
He Xuan sighed and couldn't help muttering, "It seems that Sister Lin wants to completely draw a line between herself and Mr. Shi's world. I, a small fish in the pond, have also lost a friend from now on."
In He Xuan's opinion, this shopping mall in Licheng is just a newly acquired property of a subsidiary of the Shi family. It is really not worth it for President Shi to come in person to express his New Year's greetings.
At first, he thought that Mr. Shi was still thinking about Lin You and came for Lin You's sake.
He had prepared a backup itinerary for Mr. Shi, so that if Mr. Shi suddenly proposed to visit Sister Lin, there would be no problems with the established itinerary.
Unexpectedly...
Looking at Shi Zong's condition just now, He Xuan felt that he was overthinking it.

The heater was on in the car, and while waiting for the traffic light, Feng Yi's eyes suddenly lit up.
"I remember now."
Lin You was distracted while sitting in the passenger seat. She only came back to her senses when she heard him growl.
She asked, "What do you remember?"
Feng Yi smiled and said, "Do you remember the guy you saw in the underground garage just now? He looked a lot like the one who played the boss."
Hearing this, Lin You's fingers trembled.
Feng Yi seemed a little excited, so he didn't notice Lin You's abnormality.
Feng Yi: "I remember who he is. He doesn't just act like a domineering boss, he's a real domineering boss. Do you know the Shi family? He's the current boss of the Shi family, Shi Jingyuan! The project our company is working on is a bid for the Shi family's project, and our boss specifically introduced him to us."
It can be seen that Feng Yi seems to admire Shi Jingyuan very much and talks endlessly about him.
"Shi Jingyuan is the most courageous person I've ever met. When he first returned to China, the Shi family was in a fierce internal struggle. If he made a wrong move, he would lose his right to make decisions. The company he took over suffered losses, which was a warning from the family."
"If he couldn't improve the company's performance, he wouldn't have been able to become the real boss. Yet, he managed to save a dying company."
“Everyone says he’s a business genius!”
Lin You looked ahead with empty eyes, listening to Feng Yi's constant praise of Shi Jingyuan, with mixed feelings in his heart.
She couldn't explain how she felt. She thought that after they broke up, even if she couldn't forget, she could at least watch from the sidelines.
But now, her heart aches.
This pain made her want to tear everything apart.
There was a voice that kept repeating in my mind.
Why, why are people born unequal!
Why, she just liked someone, but couldn't be with him because of his background and identity?
Why did she have to experience the unrequited love?
What did she do wrong?
Another traffic light turned red, and Feng Yi was still muttering, "If I had known we were in the garage just now, I should have taken a few more glances at Mr. Shi. This kind of opportunity to see him in person may only come once in my lifetime..."
Then he turned around and found that Lin You had burst into tears without him noticing.
Feng Yi: "Xiaoyou..."
