Cai Ya deliberately hid in the bathroom to talk to her husband on the phone. Her tone was so intimate. If she knew that I heard it, it would only make both of us feel embarrassed.
I was about to leave when I heard Cai Ya's sweet words: "Dear, you must take good care of our daughter and never let her suffer any more."
It turns out that Cai Ya has another daughter.
She and Mingsi are best friends. If she hadn't gotten married so late, her daughter would be about the same age as me.
I just opened the door with my shirt in hand when I bumped into Xiao Liu from the sales department. She called out crisply, "Sister Lan!"
My heart skipped a beat. Her shout must have alarmed Cai Ya.
Sure enough, the door of the toilet cubicle was opened and Cai Ya walked out. When she saw me, a hint of vigilance flashed in her eyes, and then she forced a smile and walked towards me.
"What a coincidence, Xiaoshan, we always run into each other."
I don’t know if I’m too sensitive, but I always feel that Cai Ya’s words have hidden meanings.
Out of consideration, I explained, "I just came in and wanted to wash my shirt."
As I said this, I deliberately showed off my shirt stained with coffee.
Cai Ya glanced at it and said nonchalantly, "It's just a shirt. Just throw it away and buy a new one. The Tang family is wealthy, and you're really good at saving money for them."
I grew up in the Lan family. Our family conditions were average, and they raised two daughters, Lan Feng and I. When we were young, Lan Feng and I would swap clothes, and we always thought it was nothing.
Since I started working, most of my clothes were bought with my own salary. Some were given to me by Lu Zhiyuan as surprises, and there were also pieces of clothing that cost five figures, but I never threw them away because they got dirty.
Although I have returned to the Tang family and met Mingsi and Tang Tianxiang, I don’t want anything from the Tang family. I still want to be self-reliant.
I smiled faintly: "Boss Cai is really generous. This piece of clothing can be worn after washing, so there is no need to throw it away."
Cai Ya looked at me and said, "You are so sensible. Mingsi must be both pleased and distressed."
I smiled awkwardly and didn't answer.
Cai Ya left me, and Xiao Liu came up to me with a gossipy look on his face. "Sister Lan, does Mr. Cai also know that you're from the Tang family?"
I glared at Xiao Liu warningly, "You have a mouth like that. You should know what to say and what not to say to others, right?"
Xiao Liu was stunned for a moment, then made a "shut up" gesture, which made me feel helpless towards her.
After finishing the work at hand, it was time to get off work. I waited until my colleagues left one after another before I closed my computer and left the company with my notebook.
As I walked out of the company gate, I saw a familiar black private car parked on the side of the road.
I frowned slightly. Yan Meng? Why is he here?
I took a look at the car and recalled what Yan Meng said at the family reunion banquet. I consciously wanted to avoid him.
I pretended not to see his car and was about to go around and leave, but was suddenly stopped by a voice -
"Shanshan!"
I turned around and saw that the window of the back seat of Yan Meng's car was rolled down, and Qiu Qiu was leaning against the window, waving at me excitedly.
My brows furrowed even more. What was going on? Why was Qiu Qiu in Yan Meng's car?
Qiu Qiu couldn't wait to urge me: "Shanshan, get in the car!"
Since Qiu Qiu was there, I had to walk towards Yan Meng's car and try to figure out what was going on.
I walked straight to the back seat of the car, intending to sit with Qiu Qiu.
