As she laughed, Fang Xinyi was unable to smile anymore.
“Aren’t your brother and Xi Xin’an friends?” She asked after some hesitation, “Did he tell you about his recent situation?”
When Ji Yuanyuan heard Fang Xinyi take the initiative to mention her big brother, she felt a little emotional.
One had to know that for so many years, Fang Xinyi had always deliberately avoided her big brother.
If she didn’t dare to mention him, it meant that there were still waves in her heart.
And now, Fang Xinyi had taken the initiative to mention her big brother. Did that mean that she was about to walk out of it?
Her emotions only lasted for a moment. When Fang Xinyi raised her head and looked over, Ji Yuanyuan restrained her expression and whispered, “A few months ago, my brother mentioned him when we were chatting. He has a son and spent a lot of money. The house was in chaos every day.”
“He must have earned quite a lot, right? Why is he in such a mess?” Fang Xinyi asked curiously.
The salary of a programmer was considered high among ordinary people, and Xi Xin’an was a top student who graduated with a master’s degree from B University.
It would be a matter of minutes if he wanted to find a large factory.
His annual salary was at least 200,000 to 300,000 yuan. Why was he in such a mess?
“It’s not like you don’t know how the housing prices in B City have risen over the years. When he got married, the housing prices had already risen. It seems that he only paid the lowest down payment, and the monthly mortgage was quite a lot. I heard his wife is also a spendthrift. Coupled with the expenses of the children, isn’t he barely able to make ends meet?”
As the saying goes, poor couples have all kinds of sorrows. A large part of the conflicts in a family were caused by lack of money.
“I wonder if he regrets it now,” Fang Xinyi whispered.
“How could that be?” Ji Yuanyuan laughed, “My brother said that although his life is chaotic, he really cares about his son. His WeChat Moments and Qzone are full of photos of his son.”
Just as Ji Yuanyuan finished speaking, Tangtang raised her hand and sent a peeled grape into her mouth.
Grape was not easy to peel, so Ji Yuanyuan was trying to divert Tangtang’s attention.
At this moment, Ji Yuanyuan looked at the sticky grape in her daughter’s hand and could not bring herself to eat it.
Although she was her biological son, she still despise it.
Ji Yuanyuan took the grapes and gave Fang Xinyi a look.
Fang Xinyi instantly understood, “Let’s go,” she said to Tangtang. “Auntie will take you to wash your hands.”
Tangtang did not suspect anything and personally lead Fang Xinyi to the bathroom.
Taking advantage of her departure, Ji Yuanyuan took a tissue and wrapped the sticky grape in it before throwing it into the trash can.
The two of them chatted for a while and were about to set off.
It was obviously not appropriate to bring Tangtang on this occasion.
Tangtang was obedient. Ji Yuanyuan coaxed her and she agreed to wait for her at home.
When Fang Xinyi drove away, Tangtang was standing at the door, waving at them.
Fang Xinyi only retracted her gaze when she could no longer see clearly.
Ji Yuanyuan looked at Fang Xinyi’s expression from the front pa.s.senger seat and asked tentatively, “What about you? Did your feelings haven’t change?”
Fang Xinyi was two years older than her and was twenty-seven years old this year. From p.u.b.erty until now, she seemed to have never been in a relationship.
She focused on her studies when she was in school, and was obsessed with work after work.
Fang Xinyi’s lips twitched, “No, I’m still single.”
“Didn’t Auntie rush you?”
“She did, but it’s useless. If I haven’t met a suitable one, I can’t just find someone to make do with, right?” Fang Xinyi raised her eyebrows.
Seeing this, Ji Yuanyuan did not say anything else.
Yang Jingyi chose a good place with a good environment.
When the two of them went up, Yang Jingyi and the man were already there.
“These are my two childhood friends,” Yang Jingyi introduced them with a smile. “This is Fang Xinyi, and this is Ji Yuanyuan. I’ve mentioned them to you before.”
“Yeah, you mentioned them many times.” The man smiled and nodded.
“This is Zhang Mingyuan, my… boyfriend” Yang Jingyi pointed at the man.
Yang Jingyi paused when she said the word ‘boyfriend’.
Zhang Mingyuan was tall and thin, and his appearance was good. He looked very compatible with Yang Jingyi.
After Yang Jingyi finished speaking, she extended his hand and looked at Fang Xinyi. “Nice to meet you. Jingyi has often mentioned you to me. After seeing you today, I see that you are all beauties.”
Fang Xinyi’s lips twitched. She extended her hand and shook Zhang Mingyuan’s hand briefly. “h.e.l.lo.”
After shaking hands with Fang Xinyi, Zhang Mingyuan reached out to Ji Yuanyuan, “h.e.l.lo. We met the other day. Your daughter is very cute.”
Although Ji Yuanyuan didn’t have a good impression of him, she had to give Yang Jingyi face. She extended her hand, “h.e.l.lo.”
Zhang Mingyuan held Ji Yuanyuan’s hand for a short while before withdrawing it.
When he retracted his hand, Zhang Mingyuan’s fingers seemed to have unintentionally brushed past Ji Yuanyuan’s palm.
Ji Yuanyuan frowned and subconsciously looked at Zhang Mingyuan.
However, Zhang Mingyuan’s expression did not change. He had a smile on his face as he invited the two of them to sit down.
Ji Yuanyuan could only pretend that nothing had happened and sat down with Fang Xinyi.
Zhang Mingyuan handed the menu over eagerly, “I didn’t know what you guys liked to eat, so I didn’t order in advance. The two beauties can order whatever you want.”
“You two can take a look,” Yang Jingyi chimed in. “We’re fine with anything.”
Fang Xinyi took the menu and discussed with Ji Yuanyuan. Soon, the dishes were ordered.
During the meal, Zhang Mingyuan was very attentive.
He poured tea for Ji Yuanyuan and Fang Xinyi, handed them tissues, and helped Yang Jingyi with food and wiped her hands.
It seemed like he was a good partner.
After dinner, Zhang Mingyuan also eagerly sent the two of them home.
Knowing that Fang Xinyi had driven her own car over, he gave up.
However, he still brought Yang Jingyi to the underground parking lot.
Before Fang Xinyi and Ji Yuanyuan got into the car, Zhang Mingyuan suddenly suggested, “Beautiful ladies, is it convenient to add each other on WeChat? What if I can’t get in touch with Jingyi or something? She’s a little muddle-headed and often doesn’t pick up my calls.”
Yang Jingyi didn’t suspect anything. She looked up at Zhang Mingyuan and whispered, “No, it’s just occasionally.”
Zhang Mingyuan reached out and rubbed her head. Then, he looked at Ji Yuanyuan and Fang Xinyi.
Ji Yuanyuan felt that something was not right. Just as she was about to speak, Fang Xinyi had already taken out her phone.
The two of them quickly added each other on WeChat.
It was Ji Yuanyuan’s turn. She tactfully thought about it and rejected him, “I don’t bring my phone with me to the hospital.”
“I almost forgot. Jingyi told me that you work in the hospital. All the more reason to add you on WeChat. Maybe I’ll have to trouble Doctor Ji in the future.” Zhang Mingyuan said with a smile.
Ji Yuanyuan lowered her head and looked at Zhang Mingyuan and Yang Jingyi’s tightly clasped hands. She hesitated for a moment before taking out her phone.
After adding each other as friends, Ji Yuanyuan and Fang Xinyi got into the car and left under the watchful eyes of Zhang Mingyuan and Yang Jingyi.
After the car left the parking lot, Zhang Mingyuan casually asked, “Your two friends seem very rich.. What do they do back home?”
