Zhuo Qianyun speculated but sat down calmly.Yan Qiongying introduced, "Everyone, this is my friend, Zhuo Qianyun. Qianyun, this is my man... Wu Huairen. The others are Mr. Wang, Mr. Ma, and Mr. Yu."Wu Huairen said to Zhuo Qianyun with a smile, "Ying Ying has been talking about you a lot these two days. She said you two have been friends for years. We can get to know each other through this meal today! I heard you're pregnant, so I ordered a sweet soup suitable for pregnant women. Why don't you try it out?"Sure enough, a serving of sweet soup was right in front of Zhuo Qianyun’s seat."Thank you," said Zhuo Qianyun."You're welcome." Wu Huairen's smile was obsequious."Miss Zhuo's pregnant? Congratulations! Why don't you call the father out to have a meal with us? The more, the merrier. We can make it a celebration for Miss Zhuo's baby!" said Mr. Wang.Zhuo Qianyun's heart sank. 'So... that's what they're after! These people want to get in contact with Ye Wenming!'That's why
Zhuo Qianyun headed outside as she spoke.However, Mr. Yu stopped Zhuo Qianyun. "Where are you going? Ye Wenming isn't even here yet but you're thinking of leaving?"Zhuo Qianyun smelled the stench of alcohol rushing up her nose.Wu Huairen hurriedly pulled Mr. Yu and said, "Hey, Boss Yu. You must’ve had too much to drink. Why bother a woman?" Then, he said to Zhuo Qianyun with a smile, "Why don't you just call Mr. Ye out for a meal? We mean no harm. We're all businessmen. And you have much to gain if we manage to do any business with Mr. Ye. Won't it be the best of both worlds? Don't you think so, Miss Zhuo?"Wu Huairen might look like he was sticking up for Zhuo Qianyun, but his purpose was still to get Zhuo Qianyun to call Ye Wenming out. They were playing bad cop, good cop.Zhuo Qianyun said, "My relationship with Ye Wenming isn't what you think it is. If you wish to do business with the Ye family, you may look for him at his company. You don't have to do it in such an indirec
Zhuo Qianyun was silent and ignored Mr. Yu. She did not want to entertain the crowd in the room, but Mr. Yu thought Zhuo Qianyun had tacitly admitted to what he said.Yan Qiongying's eyes glimmered when she heard Mr. Yu say ‘a woman who had been to prison.’She knew that aside from having to conceive a son, the fact that she had been to prison was a big problem if a homewrecker like her wanted an official title. Fortunately, Wu Huairen's wife had only given birth to a daughter. If she could conceive a son and help Wu Huairen get in touch with Ye Wenming, the possibility of her getting a title would be greater!At the thought of this, she pretended to look like she was doing this for Zhuo Qianyun's own good and whispered, "Qianyun, I'm sorry. I just wanted to treat you to a meal. I didn't expect things to turn out like this. But Huairen's friends are all rich. With our situation, the more we can get, the better. It'll help to secure our future!""Really?" Zhuo Qianyun asked indiff
Ye Wenming looked at him coldly.Wu Huairen only felt a chill in his body and hurriedly said, "Well... We happened to catch Miss Zhuo dining here today, so we thought we could dine together. Knowing that Miss Zhuo is your friend, we thought we could have a meal together."Yan Qiongying also said quickly, "Mr. Ye, I'm Zhuo Qianyun's friend. I helped Qianyun out a lot in the past. I was reunited with Qianyun by chance, so I invited her to a meal together. I wanted the gathering to be livelier, so I asked her to invite you over. I didn't expect you to really come. Come, come. Have a seat, Mr. Ye."Yan Qiongying said as she pulled out the chair next to Zhuo Qianyun.Ye Wenming did not sit down and just said, "Who was the one who said they could make Qianyun drink and I wouldn’t say a word? I didn't hear very well from outside. I wonder if I missed out on anything else besides this."Mr. Yu looked embarrassed. He immediately got up and said with a smile, "It's a misunderstanding. It's
'Treasure? Gosh, what am I thinking?' Yan Qiongying sneered to herself.If Ye Wenming cared about Zhuo Qianyun, he would not have let Zhuo Qianyun spend her life in a small store, especially when she was pregnant now!After some time, Mr. Yu finally finished the bottle of wine. Ye Wenming turned to look at Zhuo Qianyun. "Let me send you home.""Okay," replied Zhuo Qianyun. She knew Ye Wenming did that to intimidate others and hint at them to stop having funny ideas with her.Looking at Mr. Yu’s miserable state, she had no sympathy for him. After all, Mr. Yu would probably have hurt her if she had not called Ye Wenming.Besides, the way Mr. Yu looked right now could serve as a warning to Yan Qiongying as well.Although Yan Qiongying had helped her out in the past, she did not like being used like that. Yan Qiongying's actions today had made Zhuo Qianyun upset.Just as Zhuo Qianyun and Ye Wenming were about to leave, the unkempt Mr. Yu rushed toward Zhuo Qianyun in anger. In Mr. Y
"Your hand..." Zhuo Qianyun's eyes fell on Ye Wenming's right hand, which was bandaged. When he entered the private room, there were no traces of blood. His bandages were white, and she could see some blood oozing faintly. He followed her gaze and looked down at his hand. He said, "It's nothing. I guess the wound tore open," he spoke nonchalantly as if it was only a minor issue.Zhuo Qianyun recalled how Mr. Yu had rushed at her in the private room and how Ye Wenming knocked him down to the ground.That was probably how his wound tore.The bloodstain on his bandages was getting darker, and it was gradually expanding.Zhuo Qianyun suddenly said to Ye Wenming, "Get in.""What?" He froze."Get in the car. I'll accompany you to the hospital first. You need a doctor to tend to the wound on your hand again," she said.Seeing that he was still standing blankly where he was, she took his wrist, took him to the car parked in front of them, and said to the driver, "Go to the hospital!"
Even so, when he found out about the beatings and humiliations she received in prison, it even terrified a man like him. He had no idea how she survived it all while pregnant."I'm sorry. I'm sorry..." muttered Ye Wenming, his eyes heavy with regret.Zhuo Qianyun paused before saying indifferently, "I don't want to discuss who's right and who's wrong in whatever's between us. I just hope we can end all our grudges and return to our peaceful lives."Ye Wenming could not help smiling wryly. 'Yes, return to our peaceful lives. It's what she wants the most, right? And I owe it to her!'"Okay. If you want peace, then I’ll give you peace. I’ll return to L City after you give birth to the baby. I'll hand over the branch company in Shen City to someone else, so you don't have to worry that I’ll affect your normal life," said Ye Wenming.Zhuo Qianyun looked somewhat blankly at Ye Wenming. What he said was what she wanted to hear. He would leave Shen City after the baby was born. Then, she
"Same as her," Ye Wenming said to the lady boss, who was also the cashier."Alright," the lady boss answered.The two walked over to a small dining table. Zhuo Qianyun looked at Ye Wenming's hand and said, "Keep an eye on your hand these days. Don't let your small injury turn into a big one like what the doctor said.""I will," he answered like an obedient child.Two bowls of noodles with pork chops soon arrived. Zhuo Qianyun lowered her head to eat while Ye Wenming looked at the woman in front of him. He recalled back to the time when they had noodles together. She had smiled and said, "Wenming, why don't I learn how to make noodles? That way, I can make you a bowl of longevity noodles on your birthday. You can live to an old age in peace." "Do you believe that?" he asked with a chuckle."I would rather believe it!" she said."You don't have to go out of your way to do it. Just buy some longevity noodles in the supermarket and boil them.""But homemade noodles are more sincer
