At the most inconspicuous little table in the corner, Ruan Jiaojiao was enjoying her meal, constantly stuffing desserts and fruits into her mouth.
“Baoyun, this tiramisu is so delicious… You don’t know, I rarely get to see it. Huo Jingxi never lets me eat snacks.”
"And there's this kind of fruit that smells rotten, Huo Jingxi wouldn't even let me buy it, so coming today was definitely the right decision!"
Lu Baoyun gave a curt "Oh".
He tapped and clicked on the screen, editing and deleting repeatedly, but ultimately didn't send it to Lu Yi.
"This stuff smells awful, but it tastes amazing. Try a bite..."
Lu Baoyun held her breath and pushed her hand away. "You eat by yourself. I want to go for a walk over there."
Ruan Jiaojiao readily agreed, turned around and walked to the buffet area, carefully selecting her favorite foods.
"Miss Lu, I didn't expect you to come!"
Lin Xiaoya smiled faintly, picked up the last glass of champagne on the tray, and handed it to her.
"Lin Xiaoya?"
Lu Baoyun could hardly recognize her.
When the girl was circling around Lu Yi, she was timid and had a rustic air about her. Now, she has a more composed look in her eyes.
Her fashion sense is also quite different from before.
Her spotless white dress perfectly accentuated her slender waist, and her light makeup made her far more pleasing than the boisterous girls in the courtyard.
“Sister Baoyun, it’s so kind of you to still remember me… By the way, I heard your mother is in the hospital, and I want to visit her, but I can’t leave this house.”
Lin Xiaoya's face was full of sincerity, and Lu Baoyun felt somewhat grateful.
"It's okay, my mom isn't in a good position to see anyone right now."
Lin Xiaoya looked around and, seeing that there was no one else nearby, lifted her skirt and pulled Lu Baoyun upstairs.
As he walked, he said quickly, "Lu Yi is about to do something big, and there's nothing I can do to help. I just have some evidence that I'd like you to see."
"If you're willing, I can give it all to you. You can hand it over to Lu Yi in your own name!"
Lu Baoyun looked puzzled. "Why didn't you give it to him yourself?"
Lin Xiaoya opened the door, and her shoulders, which had been held high, slumped down.
"He hates me now. After all, I had ulterior motives towards him before and did a lot of foolish things..."
Lu Yi, who was on the phone with Gong Che, suddenly sneezed.
Gong Che joked, "Alright, I have to go to your company's ribbon-cutting ceremony, it's a deal!"
Before Lu Yi could even utter a word of explanation, the call was disconnected.
