Wen Jiaojiao instinctively wanted to run away, but considering her current status, she realized that if anyone should be afraid, it was him.
She pressed forward decisively, but after chasing him to the corner, the figure completely disappeared.
She glanced around, then suddenly realized what was happening, and breathed a sigh of relief, saying:
"How could it be him? Why would he leave his perfectly good factory to work as an extra? I'm so hot I'm dizzy."
Wen Zhaoye leaned against the embedded fake door, only three meters away from her. He listened to her murmurs, lowered his long eyelashes, and his heart sank to the bottom.
Do you really not want to see me?
Wen Jiaojiao turned and left, then returned to the courtyard after buying her things.
"Mom, I bought a lot, and I also brought one for my sister."
Qi Meijing looked at her with satisfaction and chuckled softly:
"Jiaojiao is very kind, but let's forget about her, she's on a diet."
Wen Jiaojiao nodded and picked up the script again to practice. This time, no matter how convulsing, twisted, or darkly crawling she acted,
Li Suo looks kind of cute; after all, who could get angry at a walking banknote?
Ah Long made hundreds of calls, but for some reason, it was as if he had been blocked; he couldn't get through no matter what he tried.
But in order to justify his salary, he felt he had to pass on the message.
Jiang Peitian stared at the phone, which had been hung up again: "..."
Ah Long is good in every way, except he has no sense of propriety.
Wen Zhaoye left his original spot and went to the office building. The Chenxi clothing brand has now changed to "Sunrise," both meaning the same thing: dawn.
However, Jiang Peitian's team stated that in Hong Kong, everyone felt that English signs appeared slightly more upscale than Chinese signs.
He arrived at the Sunrise building, and a voice called out from behind him, "I've come to find you."
Wen Zhaoye turned around and saw that it was Li Tian. He frowned slightly and walked into the office without stopping.
Li Tian followed, sat down on the sofa without any hesitation, and said casually:
"I'm here to discuss a collaboration with you, don't misunderstand."
Wen Zhaoye sat at his desk, looking at her indifferently and distantly, and said:
"Speak your mind, but I'm not interested in things that involve emotions. I already have someone I like."
Li Tian nodded slightly and said:
"What a coincidence, I have one too."
Wen Zhaoye finally looked at her properly, and Li Tian continued:
“My dad is pressuring me to get married, and I think you are too, so let’s pretend to be a couple and fool them, which will also buy us some time.”
Wen Zhaoye scoffed lightly:
"Whether what you say is true or false, I won't do it, because even if it's false..."
However, the reputation you hold is real, and it could easily cause unnecessary misunderstandings with your partner, so you can leave now.
Li Tian made the same expression as the old man on the subway looking at his phone:
Aren't you afraid of being pressured?
Wen Zhaoye flipped through the contract and said:
"I'm not afraid, because I can refuse. If it really doesn't work out, I'll take my wife back to where I came from."
"You're already married?" Li Tian exclaimed in surprise, "Even so, they won't let you two be together?"
Wen Zhaoye was momentarily at a loss for words. He lowered his gaze and remained silent for two seconds before saying:
"This is none of your business. Please leave."
Li Tian curled her lips as she arrived at the Jiang residence. She looked at Qi Meijing, Jiang Ci, and Wen Jiaojiao in surprise at the harmonious scene they were sharing.
"What happened?"
Jiang Ci: "Sister, let me introduce you. This is Li Tian, my good friend."
Wen Jiaojiao greeted them politely and generously. Li Tian, sitting on the sofa, got down to business:
"I recently met a very interesting man."
Jiang Ci became interested and said:
"Is it pretty?"
Li Tian clicked her tongue:
"He's handsome. Even though I've seen so many men, I still think he's very handsome. It's just a pity that he's already married. I went to see him today, but he completely ignored me."
Jiang Ci said, "If you put it that way, I'd like to see which one you can refuse."
Li Tian: "You will get to know her, but Jiang Ci, I can't tell you, otherwise it will put my dad in a difficult position."
Several people frowned slightly, sensing something was amiss, but they had no interest in discussing it, instead saying:
"How about we go out for dinner together, a few of us girls, and have a few drinks?"
Jiang Ci stood up and said, "Mom, we're going out to eat."
A pang of disappointment crossed Qi Meijing's heart, but she smiled and nodded.
"Okay, you guys go ahead, but come back early tonight."
Wen Jiaojiao noticed her disappointment and immediately spoke up:
"Mom, let's go together! We're all girls, wouldn't we have more fun?"
A glint of light appeared in Qi Meijing's eyes as she looked at Wen Jiaojiao in surprise:
"It wouldn't be appropriate for me to go, it would only interrupt your conversation."
Wen Jiaojiao was adept at winning people's hearts; how could she not see through the loneliness in the heart of a middle-aged woman? She turned her head to look at the two people beside her and said:
"Mom, all these years when Jiang Ci isn't home, she's always been alone. How about we take her out for some fun?"
Qi Meijing's eyes were slightly moist, and she lowered her gaze.
Jiang Ci felt bad too, realizing that she had neglected Qi Meijing's feelings all these years. She stepped forward, took Qi Meijing's arm, and helped her up, saying ingratiatingly:
"Let's go, let's play as late as we want tonight, have some drinks, and have a wonderful day."
Wen Jiaojiao chuckled:
"I'd rather not, I'll probably act crazy when I'm drunk."
Li Tian joked:
"Now that you say that, I'm even more eager to get you to drink it."
Wen Jiaojiao readily agreed:
"Sure, as long as you can handle it."
Ever since she learned of Jiang Peitian's attitude, she had been suppressing a resentment. That feeling was probably like the sudden shattering of what she had imagined as a wonderful life, even plunging her into the depths of despair.
Although I know that placing my hopes on others will always lead to mistakes, Jiang Peitian's previous attitude was just too hopeful.
Inside a private dining room in the restaurant.
Each of them had their own worries, and they all got completely drunk.
After her outburst, Wen Jiaojiao stood up unsteadily and said in a soft, naive voice:
"I'm going to the bathroom first, and I'll tell you about my adventure when I get back."
The other three lay motionless on the table. Ah Long, who was guarding the door, followed her when she came out.
Just then, Wen Zhaoye called. He answered the phone, and Wen Zhaoye's voice came from the other end:
"How is she?"
Ah Long: "Miss is drunk and is going to the toilet now."
The voice paused for a few seconds, then murmured:
"Wait, I'm going to find her now."
Wen Jiaojiao stumbled out of the restroom, leaning against the wall as she turned the corner.
Just then, I caught a glimpse of a man walking towards me. He was tall, with a long-sleeved shirt tucked into his trousers, which accentuated his broad shoulders and narrow waist.
People came and went around them. Wen Jiaojiao leaned against the wall, looking at him with blurry, drunken eyes, then shook her head.
"It seems like they're hallucinating from drinking too much; he even seems so familiar."
