Armed with Zhou Pengfei, Yang Yajing walked up to Li Wen.
"Little sister, I'm Yang Yajing. What's your name?" Yang Yajing asked knowingly.
As soon as Li Wen saw someone coming, he stood up and said, "Hello, Miss Yang! My name is Li Wen."
Yang Yajing stopped her from getting up: "Does your foot hurt? Your shoes don't seem to fit properly."
"Hehe..." Li Wen laughed awkwardly, "The shoes belong to my sister. The heels are a bit high, and they're a size too small."
"A girl shouldn't wear shoes that don't suit her just because they look nice!" Yang Yajing said, taking a pair of white chunky-heeled ankle boots out of her handbag and squatting down.
Li Wen was startled when Yang Yajing touched her ankle, and shyly pulled her foot back: "No, you can't! It's dirty!"
"It's okay, don't move!" Yang Yajing patted Li Wen's calf. "Wear these! Remember that! A girl can't let herself suffer, no matter who else she's wronged!"
This statement, with its double meaning, silenced Li Wen, who thought to himself, "Ha! I can't wrong myself, even if I wrong myself? But who else can I wrong besides myself?"
After changing into the shoes that fit, Li Wen felt much more comfortable. Looking at the nice white leather shoes, he smiled slightly, then frowned: "They look expensive, don't they? I've gotten them dirty... I... I don't have the money to pay them back..."
"The samples at home, no need to return them, they're yours!" Yang Yajing said with a smile after standing up straight.
"How could I possibly accept that?" Li Wen shook his head again.
"Girls exchange gifts when making friends, so what's there to be embarrassed about?"
“But I… have nothing to give away…” Li Wen was truly insecure.
"Oh! You might not have it now, but you'll have it when you graduate and become successful in your career, right?" Yang Yajing teased deliberately. "Let me tell you, I love barbecue. When you get your first paycheck, remember to treat me to barbecue, okay? No backing out!"
"No! No! I definitely remember!" Li Wen shook his head and nodded repeatedly.
Yang Yajing casually put the ill-fitting sandals into her handbag and tossed them under the small table.
Seeing this, Li Wen wanted to pick it up, but Yang Yajing stopped him: "What's the point of keeping something that doesn't fit?"
“These aren’t my shoes, I need to return them. It’s a real hassle if they get lost…” she said, glancing at her adoptive father as she spoke.
"Whoever wants to pick it up can pick it up! If anyone causes trouble, just say that I, Yang Yajing, threw it away, and let them come to me with this!" Yang Yajing said in a bossy tone.
"But... I still need to go home..."
"Li Wen? Why are you being so sneaky?" Yang Yajing pouted. "What did your family do to you? And... I don't think you really wanted to come today, did you? You didn't even come to talk to me during the celebration of me becoming a new shareholder!"
"No...that's...Miss Yang, please don't be angry...I didn't..." Li Wen was somewhat incoherent.
"Okay, okay! I was just kidding!" Yang Yajing winked at her playfully. "There aren't many people here here because of me, relax!"
"Huh? What are they all here for?" Li Wen thought she was the only one who had been dragged there by her parents.
“Most of the young people are here for socializing, and even those who aren’t are here to network and socialize, looking for business opportunities!” Yang Yajing said softly. “What else did you think?”
"And there are those who come to steal your boyfriend and cause you trouble..." So Li Wen isn't so timid and afraid to say a word after all?
It's easy to deal with someone who doesn't hide their true nature to the core!
"Then what are you doing here?"
"I don't know." Li Wen shook his head. "Dad said I should get to know more high-class, wealthy people... and that I should get married early after graduation, so I don't... so I don't become a burden at home and sponge off my parents..."
She spoke softer and softer until the last few words were almost inaudible.
"You're good at spending money?" Yang Yajing asked, resting her chin on her hands.
Li Wen shook his head.
"Aren't you planning to find a job and support yourself?"
Li Wen shook his head again.
"Are you planning to live at your parents' house for the rest of your life?"
She still shook her head.
"Isn't that it? Why are you sponging off your parents? You have a boyfriend now?"
This time, Li Wen first shook his head, then nodded, and then shook his head again.
"Oh dear! Is it there or not?"
"that is……"
"You have someone you like, but you're not in a relationship yet?"
Li Wen blushed slightly, fidgeting with her nails, unsure how to answer.
"Another one who hasn't had enough instant noodles!" Yang Yajing said to Zhou Pengfei.
"Girlfriend, can we not bring up old grievances?" Zhou Pengfei said with a smile, pinching Yang Yajing's earlobe.
"That's great!" Li Wen watched the interaction between the two, and a hint of envy appeared in his eyes as he thought of something.
Yang Yajing took out a business card from her bag: "Do you trust my character?"
Li Wen nodded. Having been a spectator for so long, she had long since come to admire this domineering older sister who was about the same age as her.
"Okay! Don't look for a job right after you graduate, come find me first?" Yang Yajing pointed to the number on the business card. "If anyone gives you trouble, just call this number. It can be anything! Got it?"
"Anything is fine?" Li Wen didn't know what Yang Yajing meant by "anything".
"Anyway, you must remember this: never wrong yourself! I really like you, and I'll back you up!" Yang Yajing said with great confidence.
"Stand up for me? Why would my sister stand up for me?" They've only just met, haven't they?
"Sister, I'm rich and I can do whatever I want, is that not allowed?" Yang Yajing raised her head.
"Pfft!" Li Wen finally laughed. "My sister is so willful!"
