Wan Ge simply nodded at her, her expression indifferent.
Ye Yanmeng, however, focused all her attention on the item she was carrying; she was all too familiar with the logo on the packaging.
It's a custom-made gift exclusively for the Si family. The Si family has official custom-made packaging boxes, but they also have custom-made ones. Custom-made gifts are usually quite valuable.
Ye Yanmeng had actually received some, but not many. Each item was very expensive for her, and more importantly, it made her look good.
Customized gifts exclusively for the Si family are rare. They are usually given to their important business partners or business tycoons. Ordinary people rarely get to receive them.
"Did Jing meet with A again?" Ye Yanmeng asked softly, trying to keep her tone calm, but her jealousy was barely concealed.
Wan Ge smiled and said, "Yes, my aunt invited me to their house for dinner. Is there a problem, Ye?"
As her savior, Ye Yanmeng had naturally visited the Si family, but she had only visited a few times and had never received so many gifts.
"Are Jing and Si Yu on good terms?" Ye Yanmeng asked again.
Wan Ge replied, "It's not bad. Our two families are old friends. If it weren't for A Yu's accident, we would still be engaged."
"You two were once engaged!" Ye Yanmeng said, seemingly incredulously.
"Yes! I think Ye and Ayu get along quite well. Hasn't Ayu said anything? But maybe he thinks it's not important." As for who he thinks is unimportant, it's hard to say.
"Maybe." Ye Yanmeng still had a smile on her face, but it seemed like she was about to burst.
Wan Ge didn't pay any more attention to her. After she got off the elevator at her floor, she said, "See you next time, Ye."
"Bye bye." Ye Yanmeng waved to her.
The moment the elevator doors closed, Ye Yanmeng's expression showed a hint of jealousy.
She wasn't jealous of any past connection between them; she was just jealous that Wan Ge received so many gifts from the Si family.
At the same time, he felt even more dissatisfied. As his savior, he himself had never received so many gifts of such high value.
Si Yu kept saying he wanted to repay her for saving his life, but he treated her differently.
Ye Yanmeng could only see that Wan Ge received many gifts, but she didn't know that they were all return gifts.
Although Wan Ge only picked out the gifts in the morning, each one was still quite valuable.
This was my first time visiting the Si family alone since I was an adult, so I was sure to prepare a gift. But for a family like the Si family, I couldn't prepare a cheap gift. So, although it wasn't a custom-made gift or a rare antique, it was something that would be worthy of the Si family's return gift.
Ye Yanmeng only brought some inexpensive fruits and flowers, hoping that the other party would give her some kind of gift in return.
…
Over the next month or so, Wan Ge visited the Si family several more times.
As the two became more familiar with each other, Mrs. Si grew increasingly affectionate towards her.
However, during this period, Si Yu bought another house for Ye Yanmeng, or more accurately, he bought a house for his family, a large flat located in the city center.
Ye Yanmeng's entire family had come to G City, the reason being her sick mother, and her family needed to take care of her. So the whole family arrived in G City, and without a place to stay, they had to temporarily stay in a hotel.
In fact, with the money Si Yu had spent on their family, they could have easily bought a less luxurious villa in G City, let alone stayed in a top-tier hotel.
But how could the Ye family let such a good opportunity slip by? So the whole family squeezed into the hotel looking pitiful, their goal being to get Si Yu to buy them a house, and Si Yu did indeed buy them a house.
Wan Ge began to wonder if the reason why the other party was so indulgent towards Ye Yanmeng was really just because of the life-saving grace. Then what was the reason for his deliberate affection for her?
He clearly doesn't like him, but he makes it seem like it. If it's just for the sake of getting something in return, there's absolutely no need for him to do that.
He has already given her so much, what kind of gratitude is needed?
And Si Yu never explains anything. Does he think it's unnecessary to explain, or does he not know how to explain?
Was he bound by gratitude, or did he have other plans?
This is why Wan Ge took the initiative to approach him but did not become close to him; if the other party was still bound by gratitude, she did not want to have any conflicts over it.
Moreover, Wan Ge wanted to see what Si Yu was planning to do, so she stopped taking the initiative.
If Si Yu truly loves her, he will appropriately resolve all obstacles in their relationship.
Wan Ge didn't believe he was the kind of devoted second male lead who only silently sacrificed for someone. If he truly loved someone, how could he allow them to be with someone else?
She was certain that if she dared to publicly announce her relationship with another man tomorrow, Si Yu would explode.
…
As soon as Wan Ge walked downstairs, she saw Ye Yanmeng, who was waving goodbye to a man.
The other person was also handsome and dashing, with striking features that gave him a tough-guy vibe. But his features were so good that they were very impactful; you would immediately notice how handsome he was upon first glance.
The other person's good looks are different from Si Yu's. Si Yu's good looks seem to be meticulously crafted, with porcelain-white skin and a handsome appearance that seems otherworldly.
The man in front of me had a slightly tanned complexion, which indicated a very healthy state.
Ye Yanmeng's face was flushed at this moment, and her eyes were filled with admiration, as if she had fallen in love with the other person.
Looking at the male lead's aura, it's perfectly normal for Wan Ge to fall for him.
The other person was wearing haute couture clothes, and Wan Ge felt that reality was somewhat different from the story.
Ye Yanmeng likes the man because he is good-looking, comes from a wealthy family, and, more importantly, is physically healthy. In Ye Yanmeng's eyes, Si Yu is disabled.
Ye Yanmeng was born into a poor family, so she would be prejudiced against Si Yu, who was unable to walk.
Wan Ge actually knew from the beginning that Ye Yanmeng's eyes held pity and a hint of affection when she looked at Si Yu, but more than that, it was about using him. It was the sense of superiority that comes from being liked by someone who is both good-looking and rich, and the smugness that comes from thinking that her beauty had captivated him.
Wan Ge felt that Si Yu knew this too, but whether this was his motive for pretending to like her was something she couldn't know.
…
"Jing, are you going out?" Ye Yanmeng asked with a hint of smugness, as if she knew how to show off.
"Okay, I'll go back to school to check a set of experimental data."
"Oh, I see. Then you should go quickly."
Wan Ge nodded and walked right past him, but as she passed by the male lead, she could feel his gaze falling on her.
