Chapter 78 Ji Yunshan was right
Ji Yunshan didn't care whether Li Mai agreed or not, and dragged her away.
Assistant Liu and Assistant Xiao huddled together, watching the three of them enter the elevator.
"What's going on?"
"That's right. It's one thing for Miss Ji to invite Li Mai to dinner, but she also invited President Ji. Isn't she the one who hates President Ji the most, to the point of hatred?"
"Who knows? I don't understand."
...
There was a Western restaurant downstairs from the Ji family's building, and Ji Yunshan went in arm in arm with Li Mai.
Li Mai pulled her hand away: "Miss Ji, I can walk by myself."
Ji Yunshan pursed her lips and let go of her.
When they sat down, Ji Yunshan pushed Li Mai directly to sit next to Ji Wangyu.
"Li Mai, sit next to my second brother."
Ji Wangyu didn't say anything, but poured Li Mai a glass of water.
Ji Yunshan's gaze swept over them: "Li Mai, my second brother is really considerate to you."
Li Mai paused for a moment: "President Ji has always been a gentleman."
"Really? I think Second Brother is only this gentlemanly to you. He's not like this to others, at least not to Lin Qianyu."
"Right, Second Brother?"
Ji Wangyu picked up his water glass and drank, without answering.
Ji Yunshan didn't care and said, "Second brother, I know you don't like Lin Qianyu, you like Li Mai."
Li Mai: "..."
She looked at Ji Yunshan in surprise, not expecting her to reveal this matter so easily.
Although she knew Ji Wangyu's feelings, the two of them didn't bring it up, and she pretended not to know.
Now that Ji Yunshan had spoken out, she couldn't pretend anymore and looked at Ji Wangyu awkwardly.
Ji Wangyu continued drinking water without saying a word.
Li Mai spoke up: "Miss Ji, that's not true, don't talk nonsense. Miss Lin and President Ji are getting engaged soon, so don't let Miss Lin misunderstand."
Ji Yunshan: "Li Mai, be bold, don't be afraid, I'll help you deal with Lin Qianyu. You like Second Brother, and Second Brother likes you too, you should be together, don't care what others say."
Li Mai was speechless: "Miss Ji, Mr. Ji and I are just superior and subordinate. Don't talk nonsense."
Ji Yunshan: "Oh, everyone here is one of us, don't be afraid, so don't try to hide it."
Li Mai couldn't take it anymore, and without seeing Ji Wangyu say anything, she stood up and said, "I have something to do, you guys take your time eating."
Ji Yunshan didn't pull her any further.
After leaving the Western restaurant, Li Mai turned into a noodle shop, ordered a bowl of noodles, and ate them quietly.
...
Western restaurant.
Ji Yunshan said, "Second brother, why didn't you chase after Li Mai? You just let her leave like that."
Ji Wangyu put down his water glass and looked at her coldly: "What do you want to do?"
Ji Yunshan chuckled: "I'm trying to match you up with Li Mai."
"Ji Yunshan, have you made enough of a scene?"
Ji Yunshan sneered: "Don't you like Li Mai? I'm helping you, helping you pursue the woman you like."
“Li Mai is a good match for you. She’s beautiful and gentle. You should marry her.”
"Why don't you two secretly get your marriage certificate? That way, Lin Qianyu will give up."
Ji Wangyu ignored her and got up to leave.
Li Mai had just finished eating half of her meal when Ji Wangyu sat down opposite her.
"Boss, give me a bowl of noodles just like hers."
Li Mai looked up: "President Ji, why didn't you eat Western food?"
Ji Wangyu: "I have no appetite when I eat with people I dislike."
Li Mai pursed her lips, lowered her head to eat her noodles, and didn't say anything more.
Ji Wangyu looked at the top of her head.
Li Mai's hair is thick, jet black, and glossy.
"Li Mai, what Ji Yunshan said..."
Li Mai interrupted him: "President Ji, don't worry, I didn't take it to heart. Ji Yunshan just doesn't want you to marry Miss Lin, afraid that with the Lin family's help you will get the Ji Group, so she did what just happened."
"Li Mai, Ji Yunshan was right, I like you."
Li Mai: "..."
Ji Wangyu: "I want to be with you. Everything I said to you that day was true."
“But my dad, because of Zhou Songyan’s pressure, stopped me from transferring you and even pushed Lin Qianyu to me. I had no choice but to change my mind.”
Li Mai never expected that Zhou Songyan was involved.
She was silent for a moment before looking up: "I've been pretending I don't know anything, why did you bring it up?"
Ji Wangyu looked at her intently and said, "I don't want to hide it anymore. I want you to know how I feel."
Li Mai sighed: "President Ji, so what if I know? Don't tell me you can't let go of everything in the Ji family. Even if you could, I don't like you, and it's impossible for me to be with you."
Ji Wangyu looked hurt: "You're too direct."
"President Ji, you've always known that, haven't you?"
Ji Wangyu lowered his head, his hair obscuring his expression.
Of course he knew.
Li Mai likes Zhou Songyan.
He was jealous, insanely jealous.
He asked in a low voice, "Li Mai, if I give up everything from the Ji family, would you consider being with me?"
"Won't."
Li Mai answered very decisively.
Ji Wangyu smiled sadly.
He knew it.
But I still wouldn't give up and insisted on asking.
Li Mai put down her chopsticks: "President Ji, you hired me when I was in my most difficult time and gave me a lot of help. I've been very happy working with you during this time."
"Now that you're back in Beijing, things will only get better for you. As for me, it's time to say goodbye. I've been thinking about resigning for a long time, and now I'm finally saying it."
"I'll submit my resignation as soon as I get back. Please approve it, Mr. Ji."
Ji Wangyu suddenly looked up: "Li Mai, don't resign, I still need you."
Li Mai smiled and said, "President Ji, Assistant Liu and Assistant Xiao are both very good. You can try to trust them, or you can hire another secretary."
“No one else is as responsible as you. Li Mai, I won’t force you to stay with me, just stay.”
"President Ji..."
“In this way, you can work until I marry Lin Qianyu, then my position in the Ji family will be completely secure, and then you can resign.”
“Li Mai, you said I helped you when you were in trouble, so please help me this time and help me get back on my feet.”
"President Ji, how could I possibly have such abilities?"
"You have it, and I only trust you."
Li Mai finally nodded.
Ji Wangyu smiled like a child: "Thank you, Li Mai."
...
Li Mai didn't know if this decision was right or wrong, but Ji Wangyu had hired her when she knew nothing, and had her support herself and Chengcheng.
She was always very grateful.
Now, no matter what, she should repay this favor.
...
The next morning, Li Mai received a call from You Huan before she was even fully awake.
"Li Mai, I sent you a link, take a look."
"What's wrong?"
"Your melon."
"???"
Li Mai hung up the phone and opened the link sent by You Huan.
#A scheming woman gives birth out of wedlock, conceals the truth, and gets involved with a Beijing elite#
There are many photos below.
There are photos of her and Zhou Songyan, photos of her and Chengcheng, photos of her when she was heavily pregnant, and photos of her giving birth in the hospital.
When the public first saw Zhou Songyan, the "princeling" of Beijing's elite circles, many comments, besides criticizing Li Mai for being shameless and scheming, were actually praising Zhou Songyan.
You Huan guessed that she had finished reading the news and then called her.
"Who did this? They investigated you so thoroughly."
