When she returned to her room, she sorted out the gifts she had bought today and stuffed them into her suitcase.
Her phone suddenly lit up.
The scumbag : [I heard from Runzhi that you're returning to Haicheng tomorrow. Is that right?]
Jiang Yaoyao replied : [Please send me your bank account number.]
The screen showed that the scumbag had requested a voice call.
She didn't answer it this time. Instead, she hung up with a cold expression.
Since Bo Jinlan had a fiancée, she would no longer be entangled with him. She believed she could do it just as she had three years ago.
***
The next morning.
Cheng Runzhi helped her carry her suitcase downstairs.
Jiang Yaoyao came back in a hurry this time and brought a small suitcase. But because she bought so much, her grandfather also prepared much food for her.
The small suitcase was forcibly replaced with a 30-inch extra-large one!
She looked at the time and stood up. "Grandpa, it's getting late. I have to go."
Old Master Cheng hurriedly urged, "Runzhi, stop playing around. Hurry up and take Yaoyao to the airport!"
Cheng Runzhi sat on the sofa with his legs crossed and played games calmly. "Her boyfriend will be here soon. What's the hurry?"
"Will Jinlan send you off?" Old Master Cheng was pleasantly surprised. "Yaoyao, why didn't you say so earlier?"
Jiang Yaoyao was speechless.
What?
Was Bo Jinlan sending her off?
How could she not know if he's involved?
"It's not a gift." Cheng Runzhi said casually as he played the game. "Jinlan happened to have a business trip to Haicheng, so I had him switch to the same flight as Yaoyao. That way, she'd have some company."
"He's going to Haicheng for a business trip?" Jiang Yaoyao blurted out."
"Don't you know about it?" Cheng Runzhi looked up.
"Uh..." Jiang Yaoyao's expression almost froze. "No ... I know! I mean ... he seemed to say yesterday that he wouldn't go. How suddenly."
Sure enough, Cheng Runzhi didn't doubt it anymore. He continued to play the game. "It's just an awards ceremony. He doesn't need to go."
"Then he did it for Yaoyao!" Old Master Cheng clapped his little hands excitedly. Jinlan is putting in so much effort to accompany his girlfriend! A man should have this kind of devoted spirit."
After saying that, he glared at Cheng Runzhi. "You only know how to play games. You must learn more from Jinlan! Do you hear me?"
Cheng Runzhi was speechless.
The old man wanted him to learn from Bo Jinlan to be devoted to his girlfriend.
Then why didn't he kill the scumbag first?
As for Jiang Yaoyao.
Last night, she had sworn she would not be entangled with him anymore, but he returned uninvited.
She took out her phone and sent a WeChat message. [Why didn't you tell me you were going to Haicheng for a business trip?]
The scumbag : [You didn't ask.]
Jiang Yaoyao was dumbfounded.
Was this her fault?
The scumbag : [I called you last night to discuss this, but you ignored me.]
Jiang Yaoyao couldn't say a word.
He not only blamed her but also still raked it down to her.
Forget it!
Anyway, the act would take little time when they reached Haicheng. No! Once they boarded the plane, she would immediately cut ties with him!
Jiang Yaoyao typed, [It's already 10 o'clock. May I know when Mr. Bo will arrive :)]
The Scumbag : [Do you need your boyfriend to come pick you up soon?]
Jiang Yaoyao gritted her teeth.
Therefore——
The man's low voice suddenly rang out inside the quiet car, "Drive faster."
"Okay, President Bo." Li Jing hurriedly sped up and looked up at the rearview mirror.
The owner of the backseat was smiling as he looked at his phone. He looked like a man in love with a silly smile.
"Is Mrs. Bo in a hurry?" Li Jing blurted out, almost wanting to slap himself.
Bo Jinlan despised it when his employees were distracted from their duties!
Especially when he was driving.
In the next second.
"Yes," Bo Jinlan said with a faint smile, his thin lips slightly curved. "Mrs. Bo said she wanted to see me as soon as possible."
Li Jing was speechless.
He was like a dog on the roadside who had suddenly been kicked.
Meanwhile, in the Cheng family residence.
Before the scumbag came, an uninvited guest arrived.
Jiang Yaoyao looked up as the servant brought the guest in and met a pair of eyes.
The man was dressed in casual clothes. He was tall and robust. He had tanned skin and cold facial features. He was a typical handsome man.
He was Zhou Liangchen, whom she had known since kindergarten. They had been best friends throughout elementary school and high school until they had a falling out because of the woman standing beside him.
Her name was Jiang Yingxue.
Jiang Yaoyao had once treated her like a younger sister. Because her mother, Ning Wan'e, was Jiang Hongzhou's secretary. It wasn't easy being a single mother with two children. So, whenever there was something delicious or fun, Jiang Yaoyao would share half with her.
She realized how foolish she had been only after Jiang Hongzhou returned to the Jiang family with the pregnant Ning Wan'e and Jiang Yingxue.
Jiang Yaoyao quickly averted her gaze.
Some people didn't understand the meaning of being tactful.
"Yaoyao?" Jiang Yingxue's eyes were wide open. Her voice was pretentious and excited. "When did you come back? Why didn't you come home? Did you come back for the holiday? That's great! Dad will be so happy when he knows it!"
"My mother only gave birth to me. Who do you think you are?" Jiang Yaoyao's red lips sneered, "Is this how mistresses' daughters behave, shamelessly coming in front of the legitimate daughter and calling her sister? Don't you feel embarrassed? I feel ashamed for your mom!"
Jiang Yingxue's smile froze.
After three years, Jiang Yaoyao was still as sharp-tongued as before!
She didn't understand. The Jiang family had already kicked her out. After so many years, other than her surname being Jiang, she was no longer the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. What was she so arrogant about? Where did her confidence come from? Why was she still acting so superior?
"Yaoyao." Zhou Liangchen's gaze was complicated. "Long time no see. How are you?"
No one was speaking.
The atmosphere was quiet.
Jiang Yaoyao sat on the sofa. Her long legs crossed in the air, her gaze fixed on her manicured nails.
Her thick, curly hair fell loosely on her shoulders. Coupled with her exquisite but expressionless face, she looked even more cold and heartless.
Jiang Yingxue smiled and tried to smooth things over. "Liangchen is on vacation now, and we haven't met for a long time. Yaoyao, why don't we have dinner together tonight?"
"Clack!"
Jiang Yaoyao raised her foot back on the ground and stood up. "Grandpa, I'm going upstairs to see if I left anything behind."
Old Master Cheng nodded. "Go ahead."
Jiang Yingxue bit her lip and asked softly, "Liangchen, did I say something wrong?"
Zhou Liangchen's tensed face eased up. "Don't overthink about it. It has nothing to do with you."
"It's all my fault." Jiang Yingxue was secretly pleased to be comforted, but she still pretended to be helpless and guilty." I didn't know that my sister was back. I knew that she would be unhappy to see me. I shouldn't have nagged you to come and see Grandpa Cheng. Now, everyone is feeling blue."
Jiang Yaoyao, no matter how arrogant you are, isn't your childhood sweetheart still on my side? Conquered by my charm? He will become your brother-in-law soon! And I will also trample you under my feet!
On the stairs, Jiang Yaoyao suddenly stopped.
She turned around with her pretty eyes squinted.
"First, I've got a noon flight back to Haicheng. So I don't have the time or the desire to have a meal with someone I hate."
"Second, don't play court intrigue in front of me. I've been sick of your unskilled performance since five years ago. After all, it can only be used to fool some idiots and mentally disabled people."
"Third, stop being so shameless and come uninvited if you know you're never welcome. Grandpa tolerates you because of his kind heart, but I'm different. I'm a person who can't endure mental pain. If I see someone who disgusts me, I'll give you one word, 'get lost.'"
