Chapter 22 Making Things Difficult for Bai Ye
Song Yilin woke up from the cold in the morning. Her mind was a jumble of images, like a movie replaying the scenes of her dating Xu Qingmin all night.
"Mom's up for breakfast."
"Bai Guanqun, aren't you going to school today?"
Bai Guanqun rolled his eyes: "Mom, did you forget it's the weekend today?"
I just remembered that she went to her high school reunion yesterday. No wonder she was thinking about her student days.
Let's have a collective nostalgia trip when our classmates appear.
Did Xu Qingmin kiss her after they left the bar? Or did she mistakenly believe it was Xu Qingmin who kissed her because of a scene from 13 years ago?
She couldn't ask Xu Qingmin about this.
Song Yilin shook her dizzy head.
The feeling of a hangover is waking up and feeling nauseous at the smell of everything.
How did I get home last night?
"Aunt Tian Tian brought you back."
Fortunately, Yi Tiantian still had some conscience and didn't abandon her.
"You go eat first, Mom needs to rest a bit."
Bai Guanqun was used to her often coming home drunk and went out without finding it strange.
Since marrying Bai Ye, she has always been very moderate in her drinking, stopping whenever she's about to drink too much. But yesterday, that young man was so delicious that she unknowingly drank too much.
Lust can cloud judgment.
I'll stay away from young, handsome men from now on.
The key point is that they drank so much, but didn't even have a phone number; they just spent all their money buying alcohol.
What's bothering her now is whether she and Xu Qingmin actually kissed yesterday.
Or what happened after they kissed?
Since Xu Qingmin couldn't answer this question, he could only ask Yi Tiantian.
"Tian Tian, how did I get home last night?"
Judging from her voice, Yi Tiantian had just woken up: "I don't care how you got back, I'm more interested in knowing why you slapped Xu Qingmin?"
"I slapped Xu Qingmin?"
Song Yilin asked the crucial question again: "No, why did I slap Xu Qingmin?"
Yi Tiantian was silent for a moment: "Good question. I'm asking you, why did you slap Xu Qingmin?"
Her only memory was of Xu Qingmin dragging her out of the bar; she didn't know whether the kiss afterward was a figment of her imagination or real.
"I remember you guys slipped away, so why are you the one who brought me back?"
Yi Tiantian said helplessly on the phone, "We originally left, but thinking about your grudges with Xu Qingmin, we were worried that Xu Qingmin would settle old scores with you and dismember you in a fit of anger, so we went back. We just happened to see you slap Xu Qingmin, and he was stunned by the slap. We quickly took you away. Luckily we went back, otherwise even if Xu Qingmin didn't hold your past against you, that slap alone would have been enough to make you suffer."
It would have been better to let Xu Qingmin beat her up on the spot. Now that she's sober, the issue of those 50 cars needs to be resolved, and she needs to apologize for that slap.
Song Yilin's daily routine is to check her phone first thing every morning. Due to the nature of her job, she needs to reply to messages from her superiors, clients, and handle complaints promptly.
Squad leader Shen Youheng just sent her a message asking if she was going to work today and if she could look after cars.
She never takes a day off, as long as she's there to see cars.
I drank all night yesterday but didn't get anything. Every order I got was an order I got.
Actually, when she was in Yishi, she rarely needed to drink to make connections. However, she had only recently returned to Jianghai City and needed to familiarize herself with not only work-related matters but also build local connections.
She was aiming for the general manager position. If she were in that position, she would need to know people in the relevant local departments and various industries.
Song Yilin forced herself to get up, and when she saw herself in the mirror looking like a ghost, she immediately got ready to go to room 601 for dinner.
Judging from Song Yilin's expression, her mother-in-law, Cai Hong, knew that Song Yilin had been drinking again. However, she was quite understanding and knew that Song Yilin was drinking for work and needed to socialize, so she quietly made her a bowl of porridge.
Before she fell ill, Song Yilin's mother-in-law was a primary school teacher. Unfortunately, due to poor health, she had to retire early. Because of her short teaching career, her retirement pension was very low. The biggest expense for Song Yilin's family was the high medical expenses for Cai Hong and her grandmother. Fortunately, Cai Hong had a high salary, otherwise they would not have been able to make ends meet.
"Linlin, try to drink less next time, don't push yourself so hard."
After finishing her porridge, Song Yilin said, "Mother-in-law, this time I drank a little more than usual. Part of it was for work, but then I met a handsome young man and accidentally drank too much."
Song Yilin didn't want her mother-in-law to think she was working too hard, so she usually chose to talk about lighter topics.
When the topic turned to the man, Cai Hong, the mother-in-law, and Meng Rushuang, the woman became very interested.
"Is there any hope? Can we take him home?"
Song Yilin shook her head: "I can't afford to support him. He's too young. I'm not rich enough yet. Once I become the general manager, I'll take him as my own."
The mother, Meng Ru, swung the brooms at Song Yilin's bottom, and Song Yilin quickly ran away when she realized something was wrong.
"I have something to do at the company, so I'll have to go now."
Behind me came Ms. Meng's cursing voice: "Hurry up and go on a blind date in a few days."
I was just about to drive my car when I realized I'd drunk too much yesterday and my blood was probably full of alcohol, so I took a taxi to the office instead.
When she arrived, the class monitor had just arrived.
Song Yilin knew how much the class monitor cared for her, so she needed to keep a distance.
"Squad leader, welcome, welcome. But I have a meeting later. I'll have a senior sales consultant meet with you. Let's have dinner together another day."
He turned to Li Ke and called out, "Li Ke, this is my class monitor. Take him to check out the car. I have the authority to set the price, so just give the lowest price to the class monitor."
Then he turned to the class monitor and said, "I'm really sorry."
Song Yilin had already given Shen Youheng enough face in her words and actions, so Shen Youhang couldn't say anything more and obediently went to look at the car with Li Ke.
Early in the morning, Li Muzi and her driver picked up Xu Qingmin. As soon as Li Muzi saw Xu Qingmin's face, she couldn't help but let her imagination run wild.
Xu Qingmin went to his high school reunion yesterday; Song Yilin is really something else.
The driver, unable to hold back any longer, couldn't help but ask upon seeing Xu Qingmin's face, "Mr. Xu, what happened to your face and lips?"
Xu Qingmin touched his bitten lip, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.
Li Muzi could hardly believe her eyes.
He had been by Xu Qingmin's side for many years. Xu Qingmin would smile on many occasions, but it was always businesslike and perfunctory. Today, Xu Qingmin's smile was a bit creepy.
"It's nothing, you were bitten by a stray cat. Go to the company."
Last night, when he saw Song Yilin's captivating face, his mind went blank for a moment, and he instinctively kissed her.
One kiss and he couldn't stop, desperately trying to capture her sweetness.
But Song Yilin was still the same as before, not knowing how to breathe while kissing, and she couldn't hold it in and bit him.
She slapped him as a side effect, then wiped her lips, which he had kissed, with her hand.
He spat out a curse: "Xu Qingmin, you shameless person."
Song Yilin's actions, her disgusted expression, and that slap woke him up.
For so many years, he has let Song Yilin and Bai Ye go, letting them live such carefree lives.
Just because he doesn't do anything to them doesn't mean he's a good person.
Since their marital relationship was open, he decided to cause Bai Ye some trouble.
