Chapter 65 He's Always Had You in His Heart
Li Mai remembered that she hadn't picked up her car yet: "Zhou Songyan, I want to go get my car."
Zhou Songyan: "Someone will deliver it to your home in a little while. The repair shop was missing a part before, and it had to be mailed from somewhere else. It was only repaired today."
"Thank you for your help. How much did it cost? I'll transfer the money to you."
Zhou Songyan did not answer.
Li Mai didn't want to owe him anything.
“Zhou Songyan…”
"Li Mai, do you really have to be so calculating with me?"
Li Mai: "We are not related, so I can't let you pay this money for me."
Zhou Songyan gripped the steering wheel tightly: "I want you to owe me."
Li Mai: "..."
She knew Zhou Songyan wouldn't tell her even if she asked, so she simply transferred two thousand yuan to him.
She felt it should be about the same.
"Zhou Songyan, you should accept it."
Zhou Songyan remained silent.
Li Mai was helpless.
As soon as they arrived at the residential area, Li Mai's car came over.
Zhou Songyan helped her drive to the underground parking garage and park it.
Chengcheng's eyes lit up when he saw Zhou Songyan: "Uncle."
Zhou Songyan walked over and patted his head.
Li Mai thought Zhou Songyan would be eating here, but he was called away halfway through the meal. Li Mai heard that something had gone wrong with some project.
That evening, Li Mai received a message from Zhou Songyan that he was away on a business trip again.
The next day at noon, Li Mai received a call from Mrs. Zhou.
"Granddaughter-in-law, I'm downstairs at your company."
"Grandma, what brings you here? Are you alone?"
Grandma Zhou: "Yes, I took a taxi here."
The bodyguards had already disappeared, and the luxury car had driven away.
Li Mai was worried about leaving the old lady alone downstairs; it would be troublesome if she fainted on the roadside like last time.
She hurried downstairs.
Grandma Zhou stepped forward with a smile and took her hand: "Granddaughter-in-law."
Li Mai was too lazy to correct her form of address; the old lady was getting on in years, so she just went along with it.
"Grandma, next time you should have someone take you. Don't run out on your own; it's not safe."
Grandma Zhou chuckled and said, "It's alright, I'm in good health. I'm even looking forward to holding your and Songyan's baby."
Li Mai blushed instantly: "Grandma, I've already told you, Zhou Songyan and I aren't in that kind of relationship."
“I know you’re still angry with that brat. Grandma supports you in dealing with him, but don’t agree to it too easily.”
Li Mai: "No... things are a bit complicated between us, but in short, there's no possibility between us."
“Granddaughter-in-law, Songyan told me everything. He and you have been together for five years.”
Li Mai: "..."
She didn't expect Zhou Songyan to tell Grandma Zhou about this.
Grandma Zhou couldn't help but speak up for her grandson: "The men in our Zhou family are very devoted. Songyan hasn't dated anyone else all these years. He's always had you in his heart."
"No matter what the reason for your breakup was, give him a chance and don't make any definitive statements."
Li Mai's eyes reddened.
Knowing that Zhou Songyan hadn't contacted her all these years, she felt a surge of joy.
Grandma Zhou didn't pressure her to make a decision right now, and instead took her hand and led her to a nearby restaurant: "Let's go eat first."
After having dinner with Mrs. Zhou, Li Mai drove her back to the Zhou family's old house before returning to work.
Grandma Zhou didn't want her to deliver it.
Li Mai, however, was still worried.
Grandma Zhou became increasingly convinced that she hadn't misjudged him.
She was convinced that Li Mai was her granddaughter-in-law.
Just as Li Mai parked the car, Guan Qing walked over.
Li Mai felt that this woman was dishonest and didn't want to talk to her anymore, so she walked past her and prepared to leave.
Guan Qing grabbed her arm, her eyes filled with malice: "Don't go!"
Li Mai frowned and pulled her arm away: "Miss Guan, please talk to Zhou Songyan if you need anything."
Guan Qing opened the coffee she was holding and splashed it in her face: "You bitch! It's all because of you! Why don't you just die?"
Li Mai was caught off guard by this move and ended up with the splash in her face.
Ji Wangyu strode over.
They shielded Li Mai behind them.
"Who are you? How dare you cause trouble in my Ji family!"
Ji Wangyu called security to come over.
Guan Qing glared fiercely at Li Mai: "You think you can marry into the Zhou family? Dream on! Song Yan is just playing around with you, he won't marry you! Absolutely not!"
Li Mai frowned at her: "Miss Guan, whether I marry Zhou Songyan or not is none of your business."
"Fantasizing won't work. If you harass me again, I will call the police."
Two security guards ran over, and Guan Qing gritted her teeth and quickly ran away.
Ji Wangyu turned to look at Li Mai: "Your clothes are all dirty, I'll take you to buy a new set."
"Mr. Ji, no need to trouble yourself, I can go by myself."
Ji Wangyu, remembering that he had another meeting later, did not insist.
Li Mai got into the car and looked down at the mess all over her body.
I'm so depressed.
I've really had enough of getting splashed with water and coffee by Ji Wangyu and Zhou Songyan's messy romantic entanglements.
I drove to a nearby shopping mall, bought a new outfit, changed into it, threw my dirty clothes in the car, and then went back to work.
The news that Li Mai was Zhou Songyan's white moonlight spread like wildfire, and everyone in the capital knew about it.
The Ji family also found out, and their attitude towards Li Mai changed completely.
Several Ji's employees greeted her in the elevator.
Two of them were the same two who were gossiping about Li Mai at the entrance of Rongzheng Group last time and were caught by Zhou Songyan.
They were especially obsequious to Limai.
In the afternoon, Ji Kun called her to his office and chatted with her for a long time.
He was very gentle and said he would give her a raise.
Li Mai knew that all of this was because of Zhou Songyan.
She felt quite uncomfortable.
She wanted to distance herself from Zhou Songyan, but their entanglement only grew stronger.
These people wouldn't listen to her explanation at all.
Because Zhou Songyan personally acknowledged her identity.
He said she was his "white moonlight" (ideal woman).
...
Even You Huan knew about this and called her specifically to inquire.
"Li Mai, you're dating that scumbag Zhou Songyan?"
Li Mai recounted the whole story to her.
You Huan was furious.
"That Guan Qing is insidious! She actually impersonated Zhou Songyan's girlfriend to warn you. Shameless!"
"It's good that you told Zhou Songyan, and Zhou Songyan exposed her lie. For this reason, I quite admire Zhou Songyan. He's clear-headed, decisive, and doesn't get involved in those ambiguous relationships with women."
"Now everyone knows you're Zhou Songyan's white moonlight, what do you think?"
Li Mai's mind was in a mess: "Senior, I don't know either."
Grandma Zhou's words today rekindled some of her fantasies.
But a voice inside her kept telling her to stay calm and not to step inside again.
You Huan: "To be honest, I've changed my opinion of Zhou Songyan a bit. The fact that he dared to admit you in front of everyone means he's not so bad after all. Why don't you try to accept him? Anyway, you can't let him go, and you still have Chengcheng between you two."
Li Mai sighed: "We'll see. I'm conflicted."
Li Mai has had a tough time these past few years, and You Huan hopes she is doing well.
