"I rejected this blind date from the start, so why waste each other's time pretending to sit down and have a meal together?"
His words left the woman no room for embarrassment, and as expected, her face instantly darkened.
"I only agreed to go on this blind date with you because of Aunt Meng and Uncle Ji. If Aunt Meng hadn't kept praising you, I wouldn't have even looked at you. And you dared to stand me up? Aren't you afraid I'll tell Aunt Meng and Uncle Yao?"
The man's expression turned cold.
"Go ahead and tell them. If I were afraid, I wouldn't have refused in the first place."
Song Mai and Manager Xu exchanged a glance, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
She lowered her voice and whispered, "Um, we're a little thirsty. Let's go buy a coffee over there. Do you want me to bring you one?"
"No need, thank you."
Song Mai nodded and walked with Manager Xu toward the coffee shop not far away.
The two ordered a coffee and found a seat. The floor-to-ceiling windows blocked the sound of Ji Feng and the woman talking, but they could still see their expressions and demeanor.
After Song Mai and Manager Xu left, the woman became even more arrogant.
"Ji Fenghe, who do you think you are? Do you think I don't know your situation in the Ji family? You're just a soft persimmon that can be manipulated at will. If it weren't for the fact that you are Uncle Ji's son and have some good looks, do you think I would have agreed to go on a blind date with you? Don't be ungrateful."
Why did she agree, and how dare Ji Fenghe refuse?
When has Yao Qianyu ever been stood up by a man?
Aren't they all eager to flatter her?
Ji Fenghe kept looking away until Yao Qianyu tore off her disguise and said something particularly harsh. Only then did he turn his head and look at her with a cold gaze.
"Since you've been wronged like this, and I'm so ungrateful, then go ahead and cause trouble for the Ji family. Why waste your breath on me?"
"you!"
Yao Qianyu knew that her words were harsh and even insulting, but she didn't expect him to be so indifferent.
He seemed to have no desire to say another word to her.
She was speechless after being rebuked, and it took her several attempts to utter a word.
"Ji Fenghe, the Yao family and the Ji family are evenly matched. I, the eldest daughter of the prestigious Yao family, am more than a match for you. Aunt Meng talked to me for a long time before I reluctantly agreed to have dinner with you. This is already the best offer you could get. What exactly are you dissatisfied with?"
She didn't have any particular feelings for Ji Fenghe. She had only met him a few times before because the Yao and Ji families had a good relationship.
However, given her previous circumstances, she wouldn't have been interested in Ji Fenghe. Although he was good-looking, he wasn't her type because he was gentle to everyone. So she never even considered him.
But things are different now. She has gone astray in the past two years, and her reputation is not so good now. In addition, she is not young anymore, and her parents are urging her to find a reliable marriage partner and get married as soon as possible. She is well aware of her own situation. In addition, Meng Jing kept praising Ji Fenghe to her, so she agreed to go on the blind date.
She waited at the restaurant for an hour, but he didn't show up. He stood her up completely. She was furious and had nowhere to vent her anger. Meng Jing and Ji Xiangyang were her elders, so she couldn't take it out on them. Just then, she ran into him at the airport while seeing off a friend. Yao Qianyu couldn't hold back any longer and stormed over to him.
Not only did he not think he was wrong, but he also looked down on her and ignored her. This aroused Yao Qianyu's competitive spirit, and after this encounter, she found that this man was not entirely the same as she had imagined.
He didn't want to go on a blind date with her, but she insisted on making him agree.
Ji Fenghe lifted his eyelids and glanced at her.
“You should know what you’ve done. I have no interest in a woman like you. If you’re unhappy about it and want to cause trouble at the Ji family’s house, I have no objection.”
After saying that, he didn't give Yao Qianyu a chance to speak again and walked away.
Yao Qianyu shouted angrily behind him, attracting the attention of a group of passersby.
"Ji Fenghe! You just wait! I, Yao Qianyu, am not so easily bullied! I will make you kneel down and beg for my forgiveness!"
Ji Feng didn't even turn his head, only leaving behind two light words.
"casual."
Song Mai and Manager Xu chatted idly while drinking coffee. Perhaps it's human nature to gossip, but Manager Xu couldn't help but speak up when he saw the two people outside the window looking at each other with such tension.
"It seems that Manager Ji is no ordinary person."
His sudden remark startled Song Mai.
Why do you say that?
Manager Xu was a very well-dressed young man in his early thirties. He always had a professional smile on his face, which was enthusiastic but also gave people a vague sense of cunning.
But at this moment, he was grinning mischievously, saying with a gossipy look on his face:
Do you know who that woman is?
Who is it?
Song Mai looked completely bewildered.
"Yao Qianyu".
Manager Xu spoke mysteriously, glancing at Song Mai's reaction as he finished.
Seeing that Song Mai's expression did not change at all, a hint of disappointment appeared in his eyes.
Song Mai had heard the name before, but only a few days ago outside Ji Feng's private room. This was the second time she had heard the name and had even seen the person in person, but she did not recognize him.
She also didn't understand why Manager Xu reacted this way. Who exactly was Yao Qianyu? Why did they all act like they knew her name so well when they mentioned it?
"Is there...something wrong with her?"
Seeing that she didn't know, Manager Xu put away his expectant expression, cleared his throat and said, "You're new here, it's normal that you don't know her. She's the daughter of the chairman of Yao's Group. You know Yao's Group, right? They're the ones that do real estate business. Many of the properties in Nandu were developed by Yao's Group."
Song Mai nodded. She knew that the Yao Group was one of the most well-known companies in Nandu City.
Manager Xu continued, "I only met her twice when I accompanied the vice president to a banquet before. She's quite a prominent figure."
Song Mai became somewhat interested.
"Oh? What do you mean?"
Seeing that Song Mai had asked, Manager Xu lowered his voice, clearly sensing something was amiss.
"This young lady is not the kind of elegant, dignified, or well-behaved heiress you'd find in high society. On the contrary, her private life is rather chaotic."
"She used to be a womanizer when she was studying abroad. She had countless boyfriends, from all over the world. I heard that this was said by someone who went abroad with her. Many photos have also been leaked. Of course, that was abroad. As long as she tones it down when she returns to China, everyone can pretend they don't know about her affairs abroad."
