3566 Unt.i.tled
In the morning, Mrs. Dong was eating breakfast with Dong Yujie.
Mrs. Dong was hesitant about asking Dong Yujie if she wanted to see Jiang Huaizhou today.
However, she did not dare to ask.
She was afraid that Dong Yujie would be annoyed.
!!
She was finally back, and now she had to be pressured and rushed by Mrs. Dong.
Jiang Huaizhou was a person with filial piety.
However, if she had to choose between Jiang Huaizhou and Dong Yujie, Mrs. Dong would definitely choose Dong Yujie without a question.
So now Mrs. Dong really wanted to ask, but she was holding it back in.
She felt that even her breakfast was not delicious anymore.
After seeing Mrs. Dong’s conflicted expression, Dong Yujie knew what she was thinking.
So she took the initiative to say, “Mom, I will go see elder brother after this meal.”
“Really?” After Mrs. Dong heard that, she let out a sigh of relief.
Seeing that Dong Yujie looked over, Mrs. Dong explained awkwardly, “I am not rus.h.i.+ng you to see him, I just feel that no matter what, it should be settled sooner rather than later.”
“Yeah, I also think so, so don’t worry about it,” said Dong Yujie.
Although Dong Yujie said so, she still felt burdened.
While she lowered her head to eat her porridge, her smile faded, and it was as though her heart was being crushed by a boulder.
She lost her energy and found it difficult to breathe.
After breakfast, Mrs. Dong was looking at the time.
Although she was not rus.h.i.+ng her, Mrs. Dong could not help but look at the time.
Dong Yujie tidied up and said to Mrs. Dong, “Mom, I’m going to Brother’s office.”
“Why don’t you wait a bit more? It’s peak time right now, the subway is packed, and the traffic jam is terrible,” said Mrs. Dong.
Dong Yujie smiled.
Mrs. Dong was the impatient one here, but she was asking her to wait at the same time.
After pondering for a bit, Dong Yujie said, “Fine, I will leave at half past nine.”
“I forgot how things worked here after a year of absence,” added Dong Yujie.
Dong Yujie only left at half past nine.
She did not get a taxi but chose to use the subway.
She arrived at Jiang Huaizhou’s office.
Jiang Huaizhou’s office was a famous office building in B City’s CBD.
Dong Yujie still remembered that many companies, which were famous in their own industries, were all located here.
The fact that Jiang Huaizhou could have an office here meant that his business was really successful.
Dong Yujie took a deep breath and entered the office building.
But she was stopped by the security officer.
As there were too many offices in the office building, people entering and exiting needed to register.
Dong Yujie signed her name on the registration form, and the security officer gave her a temporary access card.
Dong Yujie took the card and could only pa.s.s through the machine with the card.
She took the lift to the floor where Jiang Huaizhou’s office was on.
After going through the security officer, she still had to go through the front desk.
After pa.s.sing through all these levels, Dong Yujie did not feel that nervous anymore.
She really had to thank these levels.
Dong Yujie came to the front desk and said to the front desk receptionist, “h.e.l.lo, I’m here to see Jiang Huaizhou.”
The receptionist said, “May I ask if you have a reservation?”
“No.” Dong Yujie felt that she had been rash.
She should have called Jiang Huaizhou first.
It was not really good to suddenly come to his office.
Dong Yujie sighed.
She stayed in an ancient city in the South for so long that she even forgot the ways of the world.
Dong Yujie had gone to another ancient city afterward, which was not a popular tourist spot.
Although there were many tourists, it was not as industrialized as cities like Li Jiang.
Other than the peak tourist season, which lasted for a few months, the ancient city was really quiet.
Even during the peak season, there were no open shops, like pubs, which could disturb the residents.
It was either quiet cafes or restaurants and souvenir shops.
Dong Yujie rented an inn in the ancient city.
The inn’s price for short-term stays was cheap, and long-term stays had even more discounts.
With Jiang Huaizhou transferring her money on time, Dong Yujie really did not have to worry about money.
She spent her days relaxing in the ancient city.
When she woke up, she would smell the fragrance of the plants and mud.
It was humid in the South, so this kind of smell in the morning was more pungent.
When she opened her window, she would see the wet stone path outside.
It was a small breakfast shop opposite, and smoke was already coming out of it early in the morning.
Life in the ancient city was really peaceful, and the pace was slow as well.
Most people didn’t have a lot of requirements for a great life.
Most people would be satisfied with being able to eat and chat outside their houses every day.
Most young people were out working.
However, most young people nowadays were people like her, looking after their peace and satisfaction outside.
The rest of the people were elderly people.
The elderly moved slowly and did things slowly.
As such, even young people became slow.
Dong Yujie spent her days in that kind of environment. She did not have to worry about her career. She could even take a trip to the mountains when she had nothing to do; it was relaxing.
Perhaps it was the life that many people wanted.
But after living like that for too long, Dong Yujie didn’t get used to city life after returning to the city.
She even forgot to call Jiang Huaizhou in advance.
“Sorry, I should have called before coming here. I will come another day,” said Dong Yujie. She turned around and walked out.
At this moment, a gorgeous lady with long hair walked towards her.
She wore high heels, and as she walked, the sound of her high heels could be heard.
This woman’s body was covered in luxury brands.
Although Dong Yujie was absent for a year, she could still recognize those brands.
Dong Yujie slowed down subconsciously.
She did not know why, it was probably a hunch.
“Miss Qu.” The front desk receptionist was clearly familiar with the woman because she immediately called out her name.
Dong Yujie stopped at the door.
She heard Miss Qu ask, “Who is she?”
It was soft, but Dong Yujie still heard it.
Dong Yujie thought that she had to be talking about her.
Because there were no other people right now.
The front desk receptionist said softly, “She came to find the boss, but she did not have a reservation, so she did not get to see him. She said that she should have called before coming here. I’m not sure whether she’s the boss’ acquaintance. She left before I had the chance to ask.”
Qu Mengyu turned around, and seeing that Dong Yujie hadn’t left yet, she called her out, “Wait up.”
Dong Yujie turned around. “You’re calling me?”
“Yeah.” Qu Mengyu walked over.
She wore high heels, while Dong Yujie was wearing a pair of ordinary white shoes.
The two should have the same height.
But because of their shoes, Dong Yujie was an inch shorter than Qu Mengyu.
“Can I help you?” Dong Yujie looked at Qu Mengyu.
Subconsciously, she did not really like Qu Mengyu.
It was probably the intuition of the two women…
Because even Qu Mengyu did not like Dong Yujie the moment they met.
She tensed up and unconsciously saw Dong Yujie as an enemy.
Of course, perhaps Qu Mengyu saw every pretty woman as her rival for Jiang Huaizhou.
