Ye Duoduo was still talking to Jian He incessantly.
She said, "Just a few days ago, you said you wanted to invite Han Xiao to be your brand ambassador. I never expected that her reputation would collapse so quickly."
"It's a good thing we didn't invite her, otherwise, your Jian Group would definitely have been implicated this time as well. I heard that Han Xiao has some kind of financial background, right? With this incident, won't the capital behind her protect her?"
"In just one day, rumors are flying everywhere. Sigh, I'm really unlucky."
...
The news Ye Duoduo brought puzzled Jian He. She felt that there was something strange about Han Xiaota's record of this matter, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong with it.
The two chatted about Han Xiao for a while, and Jian He still mentioned Cheng Yan to Ye Duoduo.
She said to Ye Duoduo, "Duoduo, I have something to tell you..."
"Tell me..." Ye Duoduo asked her straightforwardly.
After much hesitation, Jian He finally confessed to Ye Duoduo, "I want to tell you that I might be dating Cheng Yan..."
Ye Duoduo, who was drinking tea, spat out the warm tea she had just taken a sip of when she heard Jian He's words.
"What? Jian He, what did you say? You and Cheng Yan are dating?"
Ye Duoduo was a little surprised by the message Jian He had given her.
Everyone in the Nanluo City business district knows Cheng Yan's methods and, coupled with his mysterious background, he is the most terrifying presence in Nanluo City.
She had reminded Jian He more than once to keep her distance from Cheng Yan, but she never expected that Jian He would drop such a bombshell on her.
"Yes, I think we're kind of dating..."
“He told me last night that he likes me very much, that he is very gentle, and that he looks at me with deep affection.”
"so……"
Before Jian He could finish recounting what happened last night, Ye Duoduo grabbed Jian He's hand.
She said hastily, "So, you two are together? Is that right?"
Jian He didn't understand what Ye Duoduo meant by "being together." She thought "being together" simply meant dating.
So she nodded and said, "Yes, we're together. I agreed to date him. We'll see how it goes. If it works out, we'll continue. If not, then... we'll see..."
After hearing Jian He's words, Ye Duoduo immediately began to lecture her.
“Jian He, let me tell you, you should sort out your relationship with Cheng Yan as soon as possible. I’ve warned you before, a man like Cheng Yan is not someone you can handle.”
"You just divorced Yin Muqiao, you just jumped out of that fire pit, are you already planning to jump in again?"
...
Ye Duoduo's persuasion made Jian He feel very agitated. She couldn't understand how Cheng Yan, who seemed like a gentleman, could have left such a bad impression on Ye Duoduo.
Half a day of work passed quickly. Cheng Yan seemed to be very busy in the morning and had not contacted Jian He at all.
At lunchtime, Jian He unexpectedly received a call from Luo Ye.
Luo Ye said to her on the phone, "Jian Niu, this is Aunt Luo. I'm in Nanluo City today to take care of some business. I have some time at noon, so let's have lunch together?"
Jian He didn't want to have dinner alone with Luo Ye, but considering that she was Cheng Yan's aunt, after much thought, Jian He decided to go.
Soon, she arranged a restaurant with Luo Ye, and Jian He arrived shortly after.
When she arrived, Luo Ye had not yet arrived. Jian He arranged for the hotel staff to order a few dishes, and soon Luo Ye arrived as well.
Upon seeing Jian He, Luo Ye happily gave her a hug.
After they sat down, she chatted with Jian He. She first inquired about the recent situation of the Jian Group, and then the conversation naturally turned to Jian He.
She asked Jian He, "Jian Niu, after your divorce, do you plan to find someone else?"
In fact, when Luo Ye asked Jian He this question, she already knew from others that Cheng Yan had slept at Jian He's house the night before.
She was using her own way to give Jian He a wake-up call, so that Jian He would know that there was a vast distance between her and Cheng Yan.
Faced with Luo Ye's question, Jian He couldn't very well not answer.
She thought for a moment and then said honestly, "If I meet someone suitable, I'm thinking of looking again..."
Upon hearing this, Luo Ye hurriedly replied, "That would be great, Jian Niu. I have a wide network of connections and many high-quality men in my know. Aunt Luo will introduce them to you later."
"Aunt Luo, there's no need..."
Upon hearing that Luo Ye wanted to play matchmaker for her, Jian He hurriedly refused. But before she could finish speaking, Luo Ye took out his phone, pulled up several photos of boys, and showed them to Jian He.
"Jian Niu, look at this guy. He's a 29-year-old postdoctoral graduate. Apart from his thinning hair, he's quite good-looking. His family isn't poor either. Aunt Luo, would you like me to introduce him to you?"
Jian He felt somewhat embarrassed by Luo Ye's enthusiasm.
She refused again: "Aunt Luo, please don't introduce me to anyone. I think finding a partner is all about first impressions..."
Luo Ye completely ignored Jian He's expression and spoke to Jian He with a slightly sarcastic tone.
“Jian Niu, what’s with all this talk about chemistry? As long as the conditions are similar, it doesn’t matter who you end up with. Let me tell you, with your current situation—divorced and with a child—it’s already pretty good that you’ve found a guy with such a high level of education and good conditions.”
"Aunt Luo meant well by introducing you to potential partners. I've already asked them, and they don't mind that you're divorced, so you should be grateful."
Luo Ye's barrage of disparaging remarks made Jian He feel as if she owed someone eight million after the divorce.
Faced with Luo Ye's enthusiasm, Jian He's face turned cold. This was not the first time Luo Ye had used her divorce to criticize her.
In the past, she would have silently endured it, after all, Luo Ye was Cheng Yan's aunt.
But now, she's not going to put up with it anymore. Faced with these people who want to interfere in her life, she's taking direct countermeasures.
She said to Luo Ye firmly, "Aunt Luo, I am divorced, but being divorced does not mean that I am inferior to others."
“I have the right to choose to love and be loved. I don’t like the man you introduced me to.”
"Of course, I don't like being introduced to blind dates either..."
Luo Ye hadn't expected Jian He to dare reject her like that. In order to get Jian He away from Cheng Yan, she also put on a cold face and began to lecture Jian He with a hint of displeasure.
"Jian He, I know what you mean... You've taken a fancy to Cheng Yan from our family?"
