"Yeah! It’s ridiculous. If he left because of Qi Cheng’s threat, I could understand, but it was for money. Li Longtao even said it was money he could never earn in his lifeti. I just called his ho and heard he even took his mother with him."
"That was fast!" Wen Nuan exclaid.
"It must have been Qi Cheng masterminding it!" To Ji Yunhuan, there was no way Li Longtao could have managed all of this on his own in such a short ti.
Qi Cheng must have planned it out for Li Longtao, sure that he would agree to his proposal.
Qi Cheng used to say that Li Longtao was not suitable for her. She always denied it. Now, it seed he was right.
She hated herself a bit for always losing to Qi Cheng!
Her judgnt of people was flawed.
He did stand higher than her, seeing through people more accurately.
"So what’s your plan? Continue with the company?" Wen Nuan was worried that Ji Yunhuan might beco overly despondent, so she had stayed by her side.
Ji Yunhuan no longer wanted to go back to the company. "Without Li Longtao, we can’t manage the company. He’s a genius in gaming, and we can’t do it. I don’t feel like dealing with these things anymore. I’d rather work at your restaurant! Being a server isn’t bad at all! I suddenly miss the old days working with you. Now that Cheng Cheng is gone, I don’t need to work too hard. It’s enough just to support myself."
"Sure." Wen Nuan smiled, "With here, I won’t let you starve."
"So, it’s settled then?" Ji Yunhuan laughed.
The next day, Ji Yunhuan went straight to work at Wen Nuan’s restaurant.
She wore the server’s uniform, and though she hadn’t done this job in a long ti, she felt quite happy. All she had to do was greet custors every day without thinking about anything else.
"Yunhuan, phone call." Ji Yunhuan was clearing the dishes when she heard Wen Nuan’s voice.
"Coming." She quickly tidied up and walked over, picking up her phone from the counter. She saw it was an unfamiliar number, but since it was from City A, she answered it.
On the other end was a woman with a polite and gentle voice, "May I speak to Ms. Ji?"
"Speaking." Ji Yunhuan suspected it was soone related to the company.
The other party introduced herself, "We are reporters from the City A Evening News. My surna is Yang."
"Evening News?" Ji Yunhuan was puzzled, "We don’t seem to be acquainted, do we?"
She didn’t rember ever eting such a person.
"It’s fine, it’s fine. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know . I just have a few questions I’d like to interview you about."
"What do you want to interview about?" Ji Yunhuan found it amusing, "If it’s about Xingkong Gas, please contact the company."
"No, it’s not about that. We received word that Dr. Bai Liyan publicly announced he wanted to marry you, so we wanted to interview you about it." The woman’s voice was sweet.
Ji Yunhuan paused, never expecting it would be about Bai Liyan, "Your information seems too well-inford."
What happened just yesterday was known today.
Reporter Yang laughed, "So, do you have ti?"
"Sorry, I’m very busy." Ji Yunhuan didn’t take Bai Liyan’s words seriously at all, but she hadn’t expected the matter to cause such a stir that even the Evening News knew about it. What was going on?
She couldn’t possibly go through with marrying Bai Liyan, could she?
It was just a joke, and it seed it had gone too far!
"We heard that you are ’Mr. Qi’s’ ex-wife, and now Dr. Bai is so interested in you. Can you tell us how you managed to make such excellent n look at you in a new light?" Though the other person was polite, there was a strong gossipy undertone.
Ji Yunhuan hung up at that point.
Her expression was extrely complex.
"What happened?" Wen Nuan looked at her worriedly.
"A reporter wants to interview ! Asked how I managed to seduce two n at once." Ji Yunhuan laughed, "Are they sick in the head?"
"The reporters know about it? That ans quite a lot of people must know by now! You’re famous again."
"It’s alright, I’ve always been ’famous’ in City A. I’ll get back to work. I won’t be taking any calls, don’t answer any that co in." Either the company would call to check on her, or it would be so trivial calls. Although she hadn’t received any calls from Qi Cheng yet, she was sure he would call, and she didn’t want to take that call either.
For a whole week, Ji Yunhuan worked at the restaurant. The weather was getting warr, and the air was filled with the scent of spring.
In the afternoon, when the restaurant was less crowded, Ji Yunhuan sat at a table where she could catch so sun, lazily basking in the sunshine. Her gaze fell on the spot opposite her.
A middle-aged lady was having her al. Her every move looked ordinary, but there was an indescribable elegance and composure about her.
Judging by her clothes, she seed to co from a moderately well-off family.
Ji Yunhuan noticed her because this lady had been there for three days in a row, always choosing the less busy tis to co.
"Ms. Ji." After finishing her al and wiping her mouth with a napkin, every move looking graceful, the lady called.
Ji Yunhuan walked over, "The total is 688 yuan."
The lady looked at her and said, "No rush, sit with for a while."
With nothing better to do and seeing a custor making such a request, Ji Yunhuan sat down. She also asked soone to clear the table and offered the lady a complintary sugar-free drink.
Ji Yunhuan found it odd since most restaurant custors wouldn’t address a server as "Ms. Ji" so politely.
This lady...
Noticing the lady’s charming eyes appraising her, Ji Yunhuan felt a bit awkward and asked, "Do we know each other?"
"You might not know , but I know you." The lady smiled.
Ji Yunhuan gave her a perplexed look, asking uncertainly, "So you knew I was here and ca intentionally to eat?"
"You could say that! I’m staying at the hotel next door."
"You’re not a local?" Judging by her accent, she didn’t sound local.
"I was local, but later got married and moved away. I’ve returned just now. I haven’t been back in a long ti." The lady said, looking out the window, "City A’s scenery is beautiful! It’s been so long since I ca back that I get lost walking around."
She spoke with a soft smile. Ji Yunhuan felt she resembled soone but just couldn’t place it.
Since the lady wasn’t in a hurry to ntion how she knew her, Ji Yunhuan didn’t rush to ask. She just stayed and shared the mont.
Until the lady left, she didn’t explain why she ca there.
But the next day, she ca again.
She chatted for two or three hours before leaving.
