Hearing Lin Zhibai's words, Shen Xinghui didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Lin Zhibai snorted lightly, "Men, being too philandering isn't always a good thing."
"Zhibai!" Shen Xinghui reminded him to be mindful of his words.
Just then, a woman in a black trench coat came to them, guided by the receptionist.
Shen Xinghui looked at the newcomer with surprise.
The woman covered herself completely with a hat, sunglasses, and a mask.
After removing all of these, she smiled and greeted Shen Xinghui, "Xinghui, hello there."
"Hello, Sisi."
A sweet smile graced Jiang Sisi's delicate face. "I made an appointment with Dong Jue. Did you give him that letter?"
"..."
Seeing Shen Xinghui's slightly troubled expression, Jiang Sisi said, "It's okay, I'll say those things to him in person."
"oh."
"I'm going to find Dongjue now. We'll talk later."
After saying that, Jiang Sisi waved to Lin Zhibai and Mu Ye.
Then she swaggered into Lu Dongjue's office.
"This woman is quite alluring. Well, Wanwan can't beat her." Lin Zhibai shrugged.
Shen Xinghui sighed helplessly; there were some things they couldn't help with.
"Let's go." Mu Ye looked uninterested; he wasn't interested in matters of men and women.
"Why leave? I have to stay here and keep an eye on things. I want to see what this vixen is up to."
"..."
"You don't leave either. We'll keep an eye on her together, brothers. I don't believe she can pull any tricks under our noses."
"What if Dongjue is willing?" Mu Ye said calmly.
"..."
Lin Zhibai was speechless.
"Forget it, let's not concern ourselves with this mess, let's go." Lin Zhibai waved his hand dismissively.
After saying that, they left.
Shen Xing looked back at the office. It seemed that Yun Suiwan and Lu Dongjue's engagement would be difficult to maintain now.
He had met Jiang Sisi; she was an extremely competitive woman.
Once she sets her mind on something, she'll get it no matter what.
Just like her career, she transformed herself from a lowly office worker into a big star.
**
As soon as Yun Suiwan returned home, she saw that guests had arrived.
The visitor was chatting enthusiastically with Li Xiaoyun.
She went closer and was taken aback.
"Xiao Wan".
The man was gentle and refined, and he wore a dark gray plaid suit that made him look exceptionally tall.
Yun Suiwan looked at the person who came in, and for a moment her mind went blank.
"You are... Shao Chen?"
Cheng Shaochen stood up. "Xiao Wan, it's been a long time."
"What are you still standing there for? I just returned to the country. People came early this morning wanting to see you, but they just can't get in touch with you," Li Xiaoyun said impatiently from the side.
Yun Suiwan walked over and said, "Long time no see."
"Alright, you keep Shao Chen company and have a good chat. I have other things to do."
"Auntie, please go ahead with your work."
"Um."
After Li Xiaoyun left, Yun Suiwan was still recovering from the surprise. "You could have called me before you came, so you wouldn't have had to wait so long."
"It's my fault. I didn't have your contact information. My sudden visit was too abrupt."
"It's alright, it's alright, please sit down."
Cheng Shaochen came from a high-ranking official's family. She met him when she was a child and went to the countryside with her grandmother.
Every summer vacation back then, she would go to the countryside with her grandmother, and Cheng Shaochen was one of her playmates.
During her high school years, Cheng Shaochen transferred from the countryside to her class.
They could be considered childhood sweethearts in some sense.
Later, a sudden change occurred in Cheng Shaochen's family, and he went abroad without warning. At that time, Yun Suiwan was heartbroken for a long time.
Her best friend left the country without even saying goodbye.
Two years later, Cheng Shaochen reappeared. They hadn't met, but he would send her small gifts during holidays.
The recollection was interrupted, and Yun Suiwan asked, "How long do you plan to stay this time?"
"I'm not going back. I plan to settle down in City A."
"oh."
"I'm planning to open a foreign trade company in City A. Do you have time? I was just about to go and take a look at office buildings today."
"Huh? Yes...yes."
Yun Suiwan couldn't very well refuse this old friend, and since he was coming, she felt she should at least treat him to a meal.
"Then let's go."
"good."
After leaving the house, a black Land Rover was parked on the roadside not far away.
Yun Suiwan thought to himself, "It seems my old friend is doing quite well."
Thinking about this made her quite happy.
Instead of going to see the office building first, Cheng Shaochen took her to a members-only restaurant that required reservations.
Yun Suiwan rarely visits places like this. He never expected that Cheng Shaochen, who had just returned to the country, could freely enter and leave such places.
"Xiao Wan, let's grab something to eat first, then we'll go look at the office building."
"good."
The waiter led them to a seat by the window.
"Mr. Cheng, this is the best, and only, best dining area in our restaurant."
Cheng Shaochen nodded.
"Didn't you just return to the country? Why do you seem so familiar with me?" Yun Suiwan chatted with him after they sat down.
"I was an angel investor in this restaurant."
"..."
Yun Suiwan stared at him blankly, wondering if she had misheard.
“Actually, I’ve already done some investment projects in City A a few years ago. This restaurant is one of my investment projects,” Cheng Shaochen said gently.
Yun Suiwan was increasingly surprised. Hadn't he been abroad all this time? And based on what she knew about his family, they were at most middle-class. How could they suddenly be rich?
Of course, she couldn't ask these questions.
When old friends meet, let's keep it brief and to the point.
Cheng Shaochen handed her the menu, "Xiao Wan, you order."
"good."
Yun Suiwan took the menu and ordered two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, and a thick soup.
"I've ordered."
Cheng Shaochen took the menu and added a strawberry cake.
"I remember you liked strawberry cake."
Yun Suiwan nodded.
A satisfied smile appeared on Cheng Shaochen's handsome face.
"Xiao Wan, how have you been lately?"
Just then, an unhappy female voice came from outside.
“I told you, I want a window seat. I have to be in that seat every time I come. Is it taken now? Go and find a way to get them to move to another spot.”
The sound was getting closer.
The waiter hurriedly followed him in.
Yun Suiwan looked over, and her pupils suddenly dilated. Lu Dongjue?
Jiang Sisi looked displeased. "I spend a lot of money at your restaurant every year, and now you can't even meet this simplest request of mine. Is this your attitude towards doing business?"
Lu Dongjue stood to the side, his face as cold as ice, and he remained silent.
Cheng Shaochen also looked at them.
At this moment, a waiter came over and said rather apologetically, "Mr. Cheng, Ms. Jiang would like to switch seats with you."
At this moment, Lu Dongjue looked over and saw Yun Suiwan.
The two looked at each other, but he showed no emotion on his face and ignored Yun Suiwan. They were like strangers.
Cheng Shaochen smiled slightly, "Please tell Miss Jiang to come earlier next time."
He won't change positions.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Sisi walked over, her usual sweet smile on her face. "Hello Mr. Cheng, I like this seat. I'm having dinner with my boyfriend today, and we haven't seen each other in a long time. I hope you can part with it."
Boy friend?
Yun Suiwan accurately caught the word. She looked at Lu Dongjue, only to see that he still had that cold and aloof expression.
He did not refute Jiang Sisi's words.
Yun Suiwan picked up the glass of water from the side and took a small sip.
It felt like a string in her heart had snapped.
"Young Master, since that's the case, why don't we do this for the lady and her...boyfriend?"
As he listened to Yun Suiwan's words, the coldness in Lu Dongjue's eyes intensified.
"All right."
With that, Yun Suiwan and Cheng Shaochen got up and left their seats.
Jiang Sisi smiled and said, "Mr. Cheng, your girlfriend is really understanding."
“Miss Jiang, we are not boyfriend and girlfriend,” Yun Suiwan explained.
Jiang Sisi looked somewhat embarrassed. "I'm sorry, I was being presumptuous."
Yun Suiwan smiled slightly, indicating that she didn't mind.
"Mr. Cheng, please come and be seated here." The waiter hurriedly led Cheng Shaochen and Yun Suiwan away, as if afraid they might change their minds.
After Lu Dongjue and Jiang Sisi took their seats, she said, "They look like a couple to me, probably just starting out. That Mr. Cheng seems interested in that lady."
Lu Dongjue stared blankly at the menu, ignoring her.
