The next morning, Rongrong immediately contacted the renovation company to finalize the renovation and style change, and the whole morning passed by.
She only has time to look at her phone when she's eating.
Rongrong was momentarily taken aback when she saw a group of text messages from people she had lost contact with.
When she saw the message, her expression was as if she had been struck by lightning.
How could that be?
Ji Mingjing and Zeng Lanni are dancing?
This is even more unbelievable than snow falling in June.
Rongrong's first reaction was disbelief, but one or two people said it, and seven or eight people said it too... Perhaps, possibly, it is true.
Rongrong tried to pretend nothing was wrong and continued eating, but after a couple of bites, she found the food awful.
If she didn't make it herself, she would suspect that it contained Coptis chinensis (a traditional Chinese medicine).
It was so bitter that it was hard to swallow.
Rongrong collected the dishes and chopsticks, and while washing them, she accidentally broke one of the bowls.
She looked down at the shards scattered on the ground. After what seemed like an eternity, she squatted down to pick them up. As she picked them up, tears streamed down her face, falling onto the shards and mingling with the foam.
Rongrong suddenly felt that she was really bad.
When Ji Mingjing liked her, she didn't cherish it. Instead, she struggled with the memories of the past, yet she enjoyed everything he did for her.
But now I know that after he forgot her, he would be with other women, meeting up for meals, walks, and movies...
Thinking of this, Rongrong felt as if her heart was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, and waves of bitter tears welled up and rushed to her eyes, blurring her vision.
"ah!"
Rongrong cut her right index finger on a shard, and put it in her mouth, the sweet and metallic taste filling her entire oral cavity.
"Ji Mingjing..."
She murmured softly, repeatedly savoring the name.
Can I ever find you again?
???
Xizhou City Airport.
Rongrong moved through the bustling hall, her heart tormented by the contrast between her eager anticipation of returning home before boarding the plane and her current trepidation at the prospect of returning.
But she could no longer back down.
Rongrong called Ji Kong directly.
After the call connected, she asked, "Ji Kong, please tell me where he is."
Ji Kong on the other end of the phone froze, then looked up at the sky outside. It seemed that the sun wasn't rising in the west today!
Rongrong called out again, "Ji Kong?"
Ji Kong immediately snapped back to reality and asked, "The patriarch is in the group's headquarters. Has Miss Rongrong returned to Xizhou City?"
"Okay, I'll take a taxi there now. Thanks."
Rongrong hung up the phone and took a taxi to the Ji family group's building.
Ji Kong looked at the door of the president's office, wondering if she should go in and tell the family head.
Just as he was about to walk over, the secretary-general suddenly grabbed him.
"Miss Zeng is downstairs saying she wants to see the president. Should we let her up, or ask her to leave?"
"You're going to handle things the same way you did before. You're the secretary-general, you don't expect a bodyguard like me to teach you how to do things, do you?"
Ji Kongxin only has Miss Rongrong as the candidate for the head of the family's wife; no other young ladies should even think about getting close to the head of the family.
The secretary-general, taken aback by his rebuke, quickly explained, "Isn't it because the president was dancing with Miss Zeng? The president is of marriageable age, what if he plans to join forces with the Zeng family? If I stop them from coming up now, what if they make things difficult for me later?"
Ji Kong scoffed, "You think too much!"
If the patriarch wanted to join forces, why would he have waited until now?
The secretary-general made separate phone calls to the front desk manager and the security captain, instructing them: "No one is allowed to come up without an appointment."
At the lobby reception desk, Zeng Lanni listened to the manager's message and immediately denied it: "Impossible!"
Over the years, the head of the Ji family has attended very few banquets and never dances with any woman, but that night he not only came to the Zeng family, but also danced with her!
Zeng Lanni swore that she only invited him to dance on a whim.
In her friend's words, he must be interested in her!
So, since the head of the Ji family has given such a hint, he should be happy that she's coming to have dinner with him. How could he not want to see her?
The front desk manager smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Ms. Zeng, that's exactly the instruction I received. If you don't believe me, you can call the president yourself."
Zeng Lanni: "..."
If she had the phone number of the Ji family head, what would she be waiting for here?
This person has absolutely no sense of propriety.
Once she becomes the mistress of the family, the first thing she'll do is fire him!
Zeng Lanni thought to herself, feeling both embarrassed and angry.
"Since he's busy right now, I'll just wait for him here."
Zeng Lanni turned and walked towards the sofa in the rest area.
The front desk manager sighed.
In fact, he was already used to this situation. After all, the president was a hot commodity, and there were always people who thought they would be the hunter who tamed the wild horse and become that special person.
Unfortunately, no one has succeeded yet.
As for the news report that the president danced with the eldest daughter of the Zeng family in front of him, he thought it was just a matter of social etiquette and nothing surprising.
The receptionist kindly reminded Ms. Zeng, "Ms. Zeng, the president might go directly to the parking garage; you won't be able to wait for him here."
Zeng Lanni was furious: "..."
Then why are you stopping me from going up?
Zeng Lanni gave what she thought was a gentle smile: "It's okay, I won't be able to wait for him today, I'll come again tomorrow."
The front desk manager could only let her wait; she would leave on her own once she didn't see anyone.
However, he instructed his staff to send coffee and desserts to the rest area.
