It wasn’t until they entered the private room that Chu Yin explained Yu Mei’s situation clearly.
Gong Chen paused for a few seconds, emotions surging in his eyes, lost in thought.
"What about her?"
Chu Yin replied, "She left. She doesn’t seem like someone who would let things go easily."
Gong Chen looked at Lin Zhiyi, about to speak, but she interrupted him.
"I know what you’re going to say. I’ll handle it myself. There’ll be more of these troublesome matters in the future, and I can’t always rely on someone who enjoys life to help, right?"
Gong Chen reached out and held Lin Zhiyi’s other hand.
"Why do I feel like you don’t want to support me?"
"Who’s supporting whom?"
Gong Chen may have changed his identity, but his ability to make money hasn’t changed.
Lin Zhiyi looked at her rapidly increasing bank balance and could only marvel at the vast differences between people.
Hearing this, Chu Yin clicked her tongue twice, "What are we talking about? You two are never tired of being cheesy. I’m heading inside first."
With that, she went to find Sang Li.
Lin Zhiyi and the other two walked behind, and she glanced at Gong Chen.
"Why do you seem so familiar with Yu Mei? Do you know her?"
"I don’t know her. I just thought that since you can handle it yourself, saying too much would show I don’t trust you," Gong Chen explained.
Lin Zhiyi asked, half doubting, "Third Young Master, let me ask you one more thing."
"What is it?"
"When exactly did you become interested in me?" Lin Zhiyi asked.
"Let me think. As I get older, some memories blur."
Gong Chen carried Xingxing and continued moving forward.
Again, avoiding the question when asked.
Is it really that hard to admit you were interested in me?
Once inside the private room, everyone had arrived except for Li Huan, who was still working overtime.
Chu Yin looked at Ren Xiya and said, "Doctor Li is really working hard."
Ren Xiya, with some pride, said, "He enjoys it. Most people hang awards in their offices, but he hangs them in his home study."
Lin Zhiyi laughed, "You seem delighted too."
"Not at all."
Despite what Ren Xiya said, the curve of her lips never faded.
At that moment, the waiter came to serve the dishes.
Everyone chatted while eating.
Liao Yi asked, "Chu Yin, now that you and Mr. Sang are married, when are you planning to hold the wedding?"
Chu Yin glanced at Sang Li and thought, "No rush. You don’t even have a partner yet, dare to rush me?"
"I don’t dare to find a partner. I’m afraid they’d be after my money," Liao Yi said, resting her chin in her hands.
The more they talked, the more outrageous it got.
Li Huan only arrived when they were almost finished eating.
Lin Zhiyi stood up to order a few more dishes and then asked, "Huanhuan, why did you suddenly work overtime today?"
Li Huan took a bite of food and said, "I was almost out the door when a patient, drunk and fallen, came up. The moment he got out of the car, his wife grabbed me as I was in my white coat and wouldn’t let go, with a child in tow. I couldn’t just ignore them, so I took them in."
Liao Yi said, "That man is so irresponsible, getting drunk and dragging his wife and kid down with him."
Li Huan explained, "I heard from the doctors who were rescuing him that they’ve seen this patient three times, and his wife has visited the clinic before. She claims it’s a fall injury, but anyone can tell it’s from a beating."
"Being stuck with a man like that is really unlucky," Liao Yi lamented, "That’s why it’s better to have none than settle for less. My mom keeps saying once you’re at a certain age, just get married, and they consider their duty done. When I was in school, they said as long as I got into a good high school, a good college, it was good. Once I graduated, it was about getting a good job. When my career just started to take off, they said just get married. Who initiated this mission?"
After Liao Yi finished speaking, she realized almost everyone present was married.
She chuckled, "Of course, seeing how happy you all are, I wouldn’t mind getting married either. But when I think about all the challenges, I don’t actually want much from marriage; I just want simple happiness."
Lin Zhiyi comforted her, "As I’ve always said, don’t marry just for others. And also, don’t let our example deter you from finding love because we’re just exceptions."
Liao Yi nodded, "Let’s eat."
Just then, Lin Zhiyi’s phone vibrated a few times.
