Mingdai's frequent checking of her phone caught the attention of the assistant.
"What's wrong? Is something urgent?"
Mingdai realized that this was wrong and quickly apologized. After that, she didn't open her phone again until the end of her workday.
The client treated Mingdai to lunch, and she even drank two glasses of wine with him.
The assistant was very worried about this and kept a close eye on Mingdai's condition.
Mingdai felt helpless, but also very grateful.
"I'm really fine. I'm not as fragile as my dad said."
Besides, she knows her own body best; she wouldn't force herself to drink even if she couldn't.
This client was quite difficult today, and I only ended up having a couple of drinks with him out of necessity. But the result was good, and the cooperation went smoothly.
Just then, Mingdai's phone rang.
She took it out and saw that it was a call from Lin Yang.
Mingdai smiled and accepted it.
Lin Yang smiled and said, "Congratulations, may everything go smoothly."
The two arranged to meet for afternoon tea.
"I heard that Mo Tingchuan won't be back until tomorrow."
Lin Yang told Ming Dai, "Mr. He told me this news."
Lin Yang also let Ming Dai know.
“Mr. He also expressed his concern several times during the house transaction process.”
Whenever Mingdai hears any news related to He Yaonian, she can't help but think of the passionate dreams she had at night.
Without realizing it, I picked up the teacup and took a big gulp.
The sweet tea couldn't soothe her throat, which felt like it was on fire.
She couldn't believe that the man was really He Yaonian, nor could she explain that he was He Yaonian.
If it really were He Yaonian, how could it possibly be...?
But why do I dream about it again at night?
Could it be that she really has feelings for He Yaonian that she shouldn't have?
"Mingdai? Mingdai?"
Lin Yang was talking to Ming Dai, but Ming Dai seemed lost in thought. He called her name several times before she snapped back to reality.
"Sorry, I just suddenly remembered something."
Mingdai smiled apologetically and looked at Lin Yang, "What did you say?"
Lin Yang seemed to be deep in thought.
She smiled and said, "Mr. He cares about you very much too."
Mingdai was taken aback, her ears turning red first, but she quickly realized the implication in Lin Yang's words.
She quickly changed the subject.
"Is Mo Qingying planning to pick up the jewelry today?"
"Yes, Liu Mei was afraid that something might go wrong. The moment Mo Qingying sold the house, she called to urge her to hurry up."
Seeing that Mingdai had changed the subject, Lin Yang went along with it.
Mingdai asked in confusion, "Liu Mei probably won't give her real jewelry. What if Mo Qingying finds out? Didn't she say she's about to hold a jewelry exhibition? Isn't she afraid that Mo Qingying will cause her trouble?"
Lin Yang has a lot of insight on this point.
“Mo Qingying rarely comes into contact with high-end jewelry, and high-quality imitations are generally difficult to distinguish with the naked eye unless one encounters an expert. Furthermore, Mo Qingying trusts Liu Mei very much, and unless someone questions her, she should not doubt the authenticity of the jewelry.”
"She recently met some friends in high society, and I reckon all this jewelry is for these friends."
Mo Qingying couldn't determine the truth, but these friends were no pushovers.
Mingdai ate a bite of the small cake with great interest.
Mo Qingying will pay an unimaginable price for her wolfish ambitions and vanity.
After Mo Qingying sold her brother's house, she was so scared that her hands and feet went weak. When she went to Liu Mei to get the jewelry, she tried her best to act arrogant, but her absent-minded eyes from time to time still showed her guilt and helplessness.
Even with the jewelry, she dared not go home.
Mo Qingying could only stay in a hotel for the time being.
After much deliberation, she decided not to sit idly by and wait for her fate.
She decided to use the jewelry to win over her friends. Once those high-society friends recognized her capabilities and introduced resources to her brother's company, she would find a way to bring her mother back to the He family villa.
In that case, even if the incident comes to light, her brother probably won't be angry with her, right?
Before looking for her friends, Mo Qingying went to see He Yaoyuan first.
“Dad, we can’t keep living outside. The He family is our home. I know you’re angry with them, but family members shouldn’t hold grudges overnight. Why don’t you just pretend nothing happened and take us back?”
He Yaoyuan was already feeling uneasy. In the few days since he left, apart from the initial apology, no one from the He family had come to see him again.
He asked those people to come up with five million, but they refused without hesitation.
Everyone in the He family has at least five million.
But they didn't even have this much sincerity.
He Yaoyuan's uncle has really messed things up terribly.
He Yaoyuan felt utterly humiliated, inside and out. How could he possibly have the face to go back to his place as if nothing had happened?
"Don't you have any backbone?"
He Yaoyuan vented his anger on Mo Qingying.
"I can't go back on my own initiative unless they come to invite me."
If He Yaoyuan doesn't go back, the Mo family members naturally can't go back either; if they did, they would be kicked out again.
Mo Qingying felt that hearing the word "backbone" from He Yaoyuan's mouth was an absolute irony.
She finally realized that her adoptive father was a good-for-nothing, and there was no hope of relying on him.
Since she can't go back to the He family, she can only expand her network of contacts first. Once she's become familiar with high society, she doesn't believe the He family won't let her go back.
Why does Mo Qingying have such confidence?
She felt that if someone like Mingdai could thrive in the circle of wealthy wives, how was Mo Qingying any worse than Mingdai?
Meanwhile, Ming Dai, whom Mo Qingying looked down upon, was having steak with He Yaonian.
Yes, He Yaonian suddenly returned to China this evening.
It was He Xingqiong who insisted on dragging Mingdai to pick her up at the airport.
Mingdai is currently finding it difficult to face He Yaonian, both physically and mentally.
She felt ashamed that she had imagined He Yao Nian as the male lead in an action movie in her dream.
She was too ashamed to face He Yaonian.
"What's wrong? Doesn't it suit your taste?"
Mingdai was feeling awkward when her plate was suddenly taken away, and then a plate of sliced food was pushed over.
Mingdai looked up in a daze and met He Yaonian's unfathomable eyes.
He Yaonian asked earnestly, "Don't you like to eat it?"
These are the same eyes in my dreams.
They are just wilder and more dangerous, and their aggression is stronger and more terrifying.
"No."
Mingdai's face flushed, and her earlobes felt like they were on fire.
My heart felt like it was being bitten by a thousand mosquitoes and flies.
She tried to conceal her unusual behavior by picking up the champagne glass to block He Yaonian's gaze and taking a small sip.
The movements are very slow.
As she picked up and put down her wine glass, she quietly exhaled, and while eating her steak, she dared not let her mind wander any further.
After dinner, despite having traveled all day, He Yaonian didn't feel tired at all and suggested taking a walk.
A short walk from the restaurant leads to the plaza, which is bustling with activity. I wonder what kind of event is taking place tonight; the fireworks have already started to warm things up.
"Come closer."
He Yaonian reminded Mingdai, who was following behind, that her slow pace made her easily bumped into by pedestrians.
Before Mingdai could get close, He Yaonian had already reached out and pulled her to his side.
