Ye Xin's expression only eased up after Peng Peng carefully explained the situation. She brought a card out from her wallet and handed it to Yang Li. She said stiffly, "The password is my birth date. There's 200,000 yuan inside. Charge to my cards when you're treating others. You can save your pay for your mother's hospital fees."
Yang Li slowly reached out to take the card as she said in a low voice, "Thank you..."
Following that, Ye Xin took out a stack of bills and handed them to Peng Peng. "Go buy supper for everyone."
Peng Peng giggled and said, "Sister Xin, we should just buy supper for our team. The others like to gossip about us behind our backs so why should we treat them to supper?"
Ye Xin smiled and tapped Peng Peng's forehead. "When will you be as smart as your Sister Li? Of course, we have to treat them to a meal. If they gossip about us, it just means they're jealous..."
Peng Peng smiled and said, "Alright! I'll buy supper for them; let them be jealous of us!"
...
When Peng Peng returned, the others from Ye Xin's team were already in the lounge. The atmosphere was rather good; the sounds of laughter would ring in the air every so often.
When Peng Peng approached Yang Li who was standing at a corner, Yang Li said softly, "Thank you..."
Peng Peng whispered, "Sister Li, were you a personal assistant like me back then?"
Yang Li smiled. "Yes, but I'm not as smart as you. At that time, I still needed to rely on my mentor..."
Peng sighed. "What can we do? Miss Xin is so difficult to please. I was scolded so many times. It's all thanks to you for teaching me. I'm really glad I met you, Sister Li."
Yang Li smiled bitterly. "I'm not as good as you. I think I'm rather useless. Perhaps, it was because Ning Xia and the others treated me too well back then?"
Peng Peng said anxiously, "Sister Li, how are you useless? Moreover, you don't have a choice. If your mother weren't in the hospital, would you have to suffer like this? In the end, it's because we're too poor, causing us to give up on our dreams and ambitions. When I'm rich, I will..."
At this moment, someone shouted, "Peng Peng!"
"Yes!" Peng Peng looked as though she had been jolted by electricity as she ran over.
Yang Li could not help but laugh. Peng Peng really reminded her of her younger self.
After a while, Yang Li saw Ye Xin walking toward her. She thought perhaps Ye Xin was going to explain her outburst earlier so she quickly smiled as though she did not take the matter to heart.
Ye Xin gripped the bottle of water in her hand so tightly that they were half-crushed as she asked in a low voice, "Did you ask the cast and production team of Yi Yao if the female lead is making an appearance?"
Yang Li was stunned. It seemed like she had thought too much.
Ye Xin continued to stare at Yang Li intently.
