Chapter 788: Meeting Again
Editor: Henyee Translations
No matter how Han Ling hooted, Cen Qianmo had no intention of falling into the other party’s trap. He only took a sip of tea indifferently and said to the other party with a very serious expression.
“You’re paying attention to my relationship situation every day. Why don’t you solve your own problem? Do you want me to mention the blind date to your father again?”
Cen Qianmo’s words successfully blocked all the remaining gossip.
“Alright, alright, then I won’t say anything.” Han Ling raised his hands in surrender.
Murong Qiao didn’t know that she had delayed Cen Qianmo. After such a long time, she called Luo Wanbai as soon as she got out of the car.
This was the first time she had come to the studio here, so she was not very familiar with the route.
Murong Qiao stood rooted to the ground and listened to the beeping of the phone. In view of the fact that the sunlight above her head was too poisonous, she simply found a dark spot to stand at the side.
However, the other party’s presence was too conspicuous, so Kelly, who happened to be shopping here, noticed her the moment Murong Qiao got out of the car.
Kelly could remember a person’s face for a long time, so long that she could easily recognize them the second time they met.
Not to mention a beautiful person like Murong Qiao, who was really difficult to forget.
When she saw the other party, Kelly was holding a freshly bought Matcha ice cream in her hand and enjoying the rare coldness under the scorching sun by the roadside.
Then, she saw a black car stop opposite the road and Murong Qiao get out of it.
The reason why Kelly noticed the other party was not because she really had the ability to be one in a million in the crowd, but because her father seemed to have a black car like this too. Therefore, Kelly found it familiar. She took a look and didn’t expect to see an acquaintance.
“Murong, Qiao?” Kelly hesitantly read the other party’s name, but the p.r.o.nunciation was still a little awkward.
After all, she really did not have the talent to learn languages.
She could p.r.o.nounce Murong Qiao’s name because the other party had helped her that day. Later on, after she went back to investigate her ident.i.ty, Kelly learned the p.r.o.nunciation of Murong Qiao’s name.
She watched Murong Qiao get out of the black car. Standing in the shade at the side, she immediately wanted to go forward and talk to her.
In the end, the traffic between the two roads was too turbulent. Even if Kelly wanted to go over, when she really went over, she realized that Murong Qiao was already gone. Kelly stood there and looked around. When she couldn’t find her, she could only sigh regretfully.
Murong Qiao didn’t know that she had missed the opportunity to meet Kelly. After sending a message just now, she waited for Luo Wanbai to pick her up and followed the path that led towards the studio.
“The work at the studio is going well so far.” On the way, Luo Wanbai didn’t forget to report to the boss.
“Jiang Weiyang didn’t cause trouble?” Murong Qiao revealed a rare surprised expression.
According to the other party’s style of going against her, this was not like Jiang Weiyang.
Luo Wanbai shrugged and told the truth. “Actually, when I came out to pick you up, I didn’t see her here.”
Although Jiang Weiyang was here for Murong Qiao, Luo Wanbai also knew that Jiang Weiyang was a difficult person to deal with, so she was a little worried when she came to see the studio today. However, to her surprise, she didn’t come at all.
The rare peace was really surprising.
“The studio is on the 27th floor. Someone will pick you up on my behalf after you go up. As for me, I still have to go to the company to take care of other matters. I’m sorry, I can’t accompany you.”
Luo Wanbai brought Murong Qiao to the elevator and said a few words before bidding farewell.
She was originally the Manager of the Human Resources Department. Recently, being in charge of this project was already beyond Luo Wanbai’s duty.
However, for some reason, this cooperation was still in her hands, so Luo Wanbai often had to come over.
When she heard that Jiang Weiyang didn’t come, Murong Qiao thought that the sun had risen from the west.
As for Luo Wanbai, she happily let the other party return to the company. After all, there was still a lot of things to deal with there.
It was rare that when Jiang Chi was absent from the company for a day, she already felt as busy as a top.
After saying goodbye to Murong Qiao, Luo Wanbai walked out. She picked up her phone and was about to look for a car to return to the company when she suddenly saw a person she hated appear in front of her.
“Cheng Jie? What are you doing here?” Looking at Cheng Jie, who was still a profligate boy, she took a step back with obvious disgust.
The two of them had not seen each other for a long time, but she no longer had any feelings for Cheng Jie. Therefore, even if they met again, her mood was only calm, like a pool of stagnant water that could no longer stir.
“I—” Cheng Jie opened his mouth.
Luo Hanbai was not in the mood to chat with the other party. She had more important things to do now.
Therefore, she walked past the other party and walked out. “Sorry, I have other things to do.”
“Wait!” Cheng Jie subconsciously shouted when he saw that she was about to leave.
But Luo Wanbai had no intention of stopping at all. She even sped up after Cheng Jie said this.
Cheng Jie anxiously reached out to grab the other party.
However, she was no longer the person he had once controlled. She was already very familiar with Cheng Jie’s methods, so after sensing his movements, she turned around and dodged. Then, she walked out and mixed into the crowd, making Cheng Jie lose track of her.

Cheng Jie looked in the direction of her departure and frowned silently.
He stood there with a terrifyingly gloomy expression, so much so that the pedestrians on both sides of the road would circle around him when they saw him.
But this was not the first time they had met recently, and Cheng Jie knew it very well.
After breaking up with her previously, Cheng Jie hadn’t seen her for a long time.
The women around him had changed again and again. Of course, he wouldn’t think of Luo Wanbai.
However, what really made his heart ripple was that when he pa.s.sed by Hui University that time, he suddenly saw the other party at the recruitment fair.
When Cheng Jie sent his girlfriend to school that day, the other party wanted to pull him away smugly, wanting him to drive her to the school gate in his latest car.
Since she was a new girlfriend and her looks suited his taste, Cheng Jie naturally agreed to her request, but he didn’t expect to meet an acquaintance at the school gate.
Luo Wanbai.
Cheng Jie didn’t know why, but he recognized the other party the moment he saw her, even if it was just her back facing him.
The moment he saw the other party, he suddenly felt a familiar and strange feeling.
But before Cheng Jie could make much sense of it, the feeling disappeared without a trace. He frowned. After sending his girlfriend away, he was still a little concerned about the Luo Wanbai he had seen at that time, so he called someone to investigate.
He originally thought that after the Luo Family fell, the other party would have nowhere to go, but the truth didn’t seem to be as dire as he thought..
