After confirming from her driver and Hani that they were likely going to get to City X in the next three hours because of the heavy traffic, she knew immediately that it was going to be impossible seeing Jianjun today.
"It"s here." Hani said from the front seat she was sitting. "Name: Kang Xiuying. 35years old. Half Korean, half Chinese. Graduated from C university at 23 years old. Occupation: Teacher at —"
"Are you kidding me right now?" Changyu asked Hani from the back seat she had been quietly sitting.
"Do you think I care about pointless things like that? Are there no useful or relevant information about her?"
Hani quickly scanned her digital notebook before announcing "There is nothing relevant"
Changyu looked out the window with an unreadable expression. That Kang woman didn"t seem to give her good vibes. She concluded that maybe she was just being paranoid over nothing so she let it slide.
Checking her watch, she realised they had wasted so much time while stuck in traffic. And if they were to successfully arrive at City X tonight, she wasn"t sure she was going to make it back on time to see Jianjun.
She had tried to call him first to cancel her plans but she realised that while leaving the house in a haste, she had left her phone behind.
She had asked for Hani"s phone to send a text message to him since she believed she had his number but Hani had told her that the last time she called him to come over because she fainted, she deleted his number after that.
She cussed silently before sighing. He was already looking for reasons to hate her. If she missed this meeting, it was only going to give him more reasons to hate her. Besides, she had her own questions. Finding her daughter was important but meeting with him was also very important.
She looked at the front and back that were packed with cars of all models. "It"s Christmas. Why can"t they just stay at home or something" She complained silently. It was going to be close to impossible leaving here tonight.
There was no other way than to get down and go look for a taxi across. Thankfully, the cars coming to town were fewer than those leaving so there wasn"t much traffic on the other side of the road.
"I"ll stop here. You should both return back today. We"ll just go tomorrow." Changyu said to Hani and her driver. It was a confidential issue that was known by only herself, Hani and her driver and she didn"t want them to go by themselves.
Hani was surprised when she heard her. Wasn"t this the same woman who had been searching everywhere for her daughter, now that the had a tail, she wanted to return back all of a sudden?
"Do you feel unwell Miss Changyu?" She asked in worry when she thought there might be something wrong with her again.
"I"m okay. There is something I need to take care of." Changyu answered as she tried to open the door but was stopped by Hani"s words.
"He said he was only going to meet us today and if we didn"t show up, he would not tell another day. So, we can just go there ourselves. It"s also better you do not show yourself to him. It may cause a scandal."
Changyu nodded, thanked her, and left the car. She swerved past the roughly parked cars on the road and helped herself cross over to the other side to hail a cab.
After about an hour, the taxi stopped in front of DELIMEAL. And just then, she caught sight of Jianjun"s figure leaving the restaurant.
She had tried to call him but she wasn"t the type to shout because it embarra.s.sed her so instead, she had decided to catch up with him.
But things turned slightly awkward and annoying for her when she saw Miss Kang approach him excitedly with a big smile on her face.
She frowned as she watched the scene unfold before her. She had known that Miss Kang liked Jianjun but why did he come meet her here? Did it mean he liked her too?
She had wanted to turn back but decided against it. She was here to talk to him so it didn"t matter whether he was hanging out with another woman or not.
It wasn"t long before she saw Miss Kang look at her direction.
Although she didn"t hear that they were saying to each other, but from their body language and Miss Kang"s expression, Changyu could tell it wasn"t a good thing for that Xiufish.
When their eyes met, Changyu noticed the way Xiufish looked at her right now was far different from the way she had looked at her this afternoon.
All she could see was hate and viciousness in the young lady"s eyes before she pulled Jianjun into a hug.
She had been shocked by the hug also. She watched as Jianjun tried to pull away but the woman didn"t seem to let him go.
She knew she couldn"t stay there all day so she decided to b.u.t.t it.
"Kang Xiuying..."
As the both of them turned to look at her, she saw the surprise on Jianjun"s face when he saw her there. It was like he hann"t expected her to suddenly show up.
Her eyes moved back to look at the annoying fly in front of her.
"Get Lost!" She ordered.
Miss Kang looked at her in surprise but didn"t budge. Thankfully, the pa.s.sersby seemed to be more intreseted in what they were doing and whereever they were going to instead of paying attention to them.
"Miss Changyu.. What do you mean? He came to meet me here. How can you ask me to leave just like that?" Miss Kang transfered the anger she was beginning to feel to Changyu.
Changyu smirked and used a hand to smoothen her already neatly arranged hair.
That little action of hers hinted to Jianjun that she was already angry.
"Brother Jun... Please do not let her bully me" Miss Kang looked at him sadly and begged.
Jianjun looked surprisingly at her. He had not expected her to address him that way at all.
"Brother...Jun?" Changyu laughed dryly. "I won"t repeat myself. Leave when I"m still being nice."
"This... is not your business. We have something to discuss—" Miss Kang seemed to be really intimidated by her presence that she didn"t even know what she was saying but she refused to back down.
"Forcing a hug at him in public, did you think you were shooting a Korean drama or something? Your clinginess is irritating. Don"t you know it or you"re deliberately acting like you don"t in other to p.i.s.s me off?"
"Brother Jun..." Miss Kang looked at him with teary eyes and tried to hold him but he quickly avoided her touch and continued to look at Changyu. This...was the woman he knew. Not the sick Changyu.. This was the real her.
"If you call him that again. I"ll rip off your fish tongue out." She warned before turning to look at Jianjun who was intently staring at her.
"What are you staring at? You enjoyed the hug so much and want a second round? Let"s go." She said to Jianjun before turning to leave but was stopped by Miss Kang"s annoyed rant.
"Why do you like this kind woman. Can"t you see she is a bully? Is it because of this woman that"s why you"re tuning me down? Because of her money and fame?" She accused him.
"What are you saying right now?" Jianjun asked in a panic as he moved closer to Changyu. "Let"s leave now." He said to her.
She raised a brow at him before turning to look at Miss Kang whose entire face was wet with tears.
"He likes me?"
"Don"t listen to her" Jianjun was quick to cut her off but Changyu didn"t seem like she was going to let the issue go like that.
"No... I actually want to listen to her this time. Do you..like me?" She asked him pointedly.
