After the meal was served, Cheng Shaochen said, "Xiao Wan, how have you been lately? I just heard the news of Grandma Yun's passing, I'm so sorry."
Yun Suiwan smiled faintly, "It's fine."
After saying that, she lowered her head and began to eat, unwilling to talk about her grandmother's affairs any further.
Just then, another commotion came from outside.
"Jiang Sisi? This is Jiang Sisi! Miss Sisi, come and have a drink with us. Name your price."
A man's flirtatious voice came from outside.
"Ah, no!" came Jiang Sisi's voice.
Then came a "bang," as if someone had fallen. "Get out."
Lu Dongjue's voice.
"Who are you? I'm just inviting Miss Sisi for a drink, what do you think you are? Huh!"
The man had just finished yelling when his groans were heard again, indicating that he had been beaten.
The private room where Yun Suiwan and the others were located was quite far from where Lu Dongjue was, so she could only hear but not see what was happening.
But one can imagine how he protected Jiang Sisi.
The way he defended himself last night now seems somewhat laughable.
It seems that what Gu Ruzhi and the others said is true; Lu Dongjue has never lacked women around him.
Even the famous actress Jiang Sisi ignored the rumors and ate with him, loudly telling others that he was her "boyfriend".
Well done, Lu Dongjue.
"Xiao Wan, are you alright?"
"Hmm?" Yun Suiwan looked at Cheng Shaochen in confusion.
You seem a little distracted.
"Oh? No, no, it's probably because I didn't sleep well last night, it's nothing."
"How about I take you home after we finish eating?"
"No need, no need, I'll go with you to see the office building."
The meal was tasteless and bland.
As they left, Yun Suiwan subconsciously looked in Lu Dongjue's direction, only to see Jiang Sisi smiling as she served Lu Dongjue food.
They looked just like a loving couple.
Yun Suiwan withdrew her gaze and left with Cheng Shaochen, her face expressionless.
"Dongjue, that girl looks familiar, like I've seen her somewhere before," Jiang Sisi said softly, chopsticks in her mouth.
"Are you full?" Lu Dongjue took a napkin and wiped his hands.
"Hey? Dongjue, you haven't eaten anything. Why aren't you eating? I ordered all your favorite dishes."
Jiang Sisi looked injured.
Lu Dongjue raised his eyes and looked at her expressionlessly. "Now you can tell me, why did you come back?"
As he spoke, he threw the tablecloth onto the table.
"Dongjue, don't treat me like this. I came back... because of you." Jiang Sisi suppressed her smile, trying to hold back her sadness.
"I was sorry to you back then, I let you down. I was so insecure back then, I didn't deserve you. But things are different now, I'm famous now."
"so what?"
"Now I can stand openly beside you!" Jiang Sisi said, reaching for his hand.
Lu Dongjue leaned back and dodged the attack.
He looked at her coldly, "I told you, once you leave the country, don't come back."
“Dongjue…” Jiang Sisi lowered her head, tears streaming down her face. “Could you please be a little gentle with me? It’s so hard for me to develop my career abroad on my own.”
"Isn't all of this your own choice?"
But I did it all for you!
Lu Dongjue wore a cold smile, as if he were mocking her.
"For you, I can give up fame and my current achievements."
"Oh? Then what do you want to be famous for?"
"..."
Jiang Sisi was speechless for a moment. She looked at him with tears in her eyes, looking incredibly pitiful.
"Alright, that's enough for our conversation. Don't come looking for me again." With that, Lu Dongjue stood up.
"Dongjue!"
"Please give me another chance, okay? Let's be like we used to be!"
Lu Dongjue's eyes darkened, and anger seemed to be gathering around him. "Don't mention the past again."
Jiang Sisi shrank back in fear, staring blankly at Lu Dongjue, not daring to say another word.
Lu Dongjue ignored her and strode out of the restaurant.
After he left, Jiang Sisi slumped into a chair and began to cry silently.
"Why? Why?"
**
Yun Suiwan spent the entire afternoon with Cheng Shaochen, and in the evening he warmly invited her to dinner. By the time they finally finished their work, it was already nine o'clock at night.
Cheng Shaochen escorted her to her doorstep.
"Xiao Wan, thank you. Without you, I would be all alone today," Cheng Shaochen said with a smile.
Yun Suiwan waved to him, "Shaochen, you're too kind. Alright, I'm home now. Be careful on your way back."
"OK."
After saying that, Cheng Shaochen drove away.
Yun Suiwan sighed heavily. Today was more tiring than a dog's day.
She walked towards her home, unaware of the car parked on the side of the road.
She hadn't taken more than a few steps when a large hand grabbed her arm.
"Ah! Ooh..."
"What's your name?"
Lu Dongjue?
Yun Suiwan looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Lu Dongjue released her.
"What were you doing? Why are you back so late?" Lu Dongjue asked, his tone tinged with displeasure.
Yun Suiwan pulled her hand away from his and took a step back to create some distance between them.
She looked him up and down. "You're not the female celebrity's boyfriend, what right do you have to ask me that?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Dongjue curled his lips into a mischievous grin and said, "What? Are you jealous?"
Yun Suiwan rolled her eyes at him. "You're really something else."
After saying that, Yun Suiwan ignored him and went straight home.
Lu Dongjue took two steps and blocked her way.
Who was that man today?
Yun Suiwan looked up at him and said, "Lu Dongjue, don't you think you're being ridiculous?"
Who he is, and what's it to you?
After saying that, Yun Suiwan pushed him, "Don't block the way."
Lu Dongjue remained motionless, like a stone pillar.
"Yun Suiwan, isn't that man a good person?"
"What?"
“I can read faces. That man is treacherous and cunning; you can’t outsmart him.”
"..."
This is truly an absurd incident. To slander someone, he even knows how to read faces.
"Lu Dongjue, do you want to listen to what you're saying?"
“Yun Suiwan, you’re going to suffer the consequences of not listening to good advice.” Lu Dongjue grabbed Yun Suiwan’s wrist.
Yun Suiwan sneered, "I can also read faces. That Miss Jiang today is eccentric, two-faced. She's all sweet talk to you now, but secretly she wishes you were dead. I see your face is dark today, you should be careful."
It's as if everyone can't read faces.
She disliked Jiang Sisi the moment she saw her today, for no reason at all.
"you're right."
"..."
Yun Suiwan stared blankly at Lu Dongjue, wondering what was wrong with him.
Yun Suiwan subconsciously reached out and touched his forehead, "Young Master Lu, are you running a fever?"
Why does he look so abnormal?
