Yun Zijin had thought that Liu Danlin’s good behavior all afternoon meant she had changed. But when Liu Danlin offered to treat her to dinner, Yun Zijin still saw a flicker of cunning in her eyes.
"It’s no trouble. I was planning to shop today anyway, so it’s not like I was taking you around.
It’s Sang Ying’s birthday today, so she should be going home to celebrate with her family, right? It’s getting late. If you don’t leave soon, you’ll definitely hit traffic."
Yun Zijin knew that Sang Ying was married and had a child.
An important occasion like a birthday was, of course, more joyful when celebrated with family.
But Liu Danlin, who had proposed the dinner, had clearly not considered this. She was only thinking about having a meal with Yun Zijin to get closer to her.
"That’s right! I already made plans with my husband. He should be on his way to pick up our child and head home right now."
"Lin Lin, let’s talk about dinner another time. I already have plans with your cousin-in-law today. Why don’t you come back with me and eat with us?"
"It’s fine, cousin. You might not be free, but I am. It’s the same if I treat Miss Yun to dinner by myself."
Liu Danlin clearly didn’t want to let such a good opportunity slip away. If she didn’t seize it today, there was no telling when she’d get another chance.
"You may be free, but I’m not. As it happens, I also have dinner plans today."
Liu Danlin was like a stubborn plaster—once she stuck to you, you couldn’t peel her off. And yet, she seemed completely unaware of how annoying she was being.
"That’s okay, I don’t mind eating with your friends, Miss Yun. The more, the merrier!"
"Well, I do. My car is here. I’ll be leaving now."
Yun Zijin didn’t want to waste any more words. The moment the Rolls-Royce Phantom pulled up, she got right in.
With Zero One blocking the way, Liu Danlin’s attempt to climb into the car was thwarted.
Sang Ying truly hadn’t expected her cousin to have such a crazy side. Seeing her try to jump in before the door closed, she rushed forward and pulled her back.
"Liu Danlin! What do you think you’re doing!"
Zero One gave Liu Danlin a deep look. Seeing that she was being restrained, he immediately closed the car door and got into the front passenger seat.
The stately Rolls-Royce Phantom drove away right before Liu Danlin’s eyes, just as everything she had experienced today had been nothing but a fleeting illusion.
"Sang Ying! Why did you stop me? Once I was in the car, Miss Yun couldn’t have just thrown me out.
If I just acted properly, Miss Yun would have definitely been impressed. Then I could have gotten access to her resources, completely escaped my current life, become rich, and lived the life I’ve always wanted!
This is all your fault! Why did you pull me back!"
SLAP!
Sang Ying couldn’t hold back and slapped her straight across the face. "Have you snapped out of it? What did you think you were doing just now? You think Miss Yun would be impressed?
You were acting like a clingy pest just now. Do you have any idea how annoying even I found you? You think she’d be impressed after you got in the car? Liu Danlin, this is the first time I’ve realized you’re this naive!
No, not naive. Stupid!"
When Sang Ying first found out Yun Zijin was wealthy, she naturally had some selfish thoughts of her own, but she restrained herself.
She knew that maintaining the status quo was for the best. That way, if she ever ran into trouble in the future and had no choice but to ask for help, Yun Zijin might lend her a hand for the sake of their time as colleagues.
But anything more than that was out of the question.
It’s one thing to have selfish thoughts, but you can’t be too greedy!
And Liu Danlin’s behavior today could be described with a single word: moronic!
"What do you know? This was just a chance encounter. If I didn’t seize the opportunity, I might never get the chance to meet her again!
Look at you, being so nice to her, and what did you get in the end? Just a set of perfume for your birthday. And it was just something she bought to meet a spending requirement. Don’t you think that’s cheap?
What I want isn’t a few bottles of perfume that will be gone once they’re used up!"
Having schemed all day only to get nothing she wanted, Liu Danlin was now on the verge of hysteria.
"Maybe I don’t understand, but at least I have the perfume. What do you have?
Think about it yourself. I’m going home to celebrate my birthday."
Sang Ying paid Liu Danlin no more mind. Carrying the perfume Yun Zijin had given her, she hailed a taxi.
