Chapter 760 She Really Heard Everything...
She had never expected anyone to be outside the bathroom, and her mind went blank for a moment.
Standing there dumbfounded, she looked at Zhang Lingying, her mouth opening and closing several times as if she wanted to say something but didn’t.
She wasn’t sure when Zhang Lingying had come in or how much she had heard, but she had a premonition that Zhang Lingying definitely had heard something, or else she wouldn’t be standing there waiting for her.
Before she could figure out how to start the conversation, Zhang Lingying, seeing her come out, stepped aside to let her wash her hands and spoke up.
"Was the person you were on the phone with just now Leng Jian?"
"..." Ji Weitian was taken aback by the question.
"You’ve forgotten? Last time when the rumors were flying, you let your friend come to find me. I remember his name is Leng Jian. Could it be that I remembered it wrong?" Zhang Lingying saw the surprised look on Ji Weitian’s face, couldn’t help but tilt her head, and recounted the previous incident.
She was sure she hadn’t remembered it wrong.
Ji Weitian snapped back from her shock and saw that Zhang Lingying hadn’t mentioned Qin Nanyu, but was just inquiring about Leng Jian’s situation, which made her slightly calmer.
"Yeah, it’s Leng Jian. He’s a friend I’ve known for many years. It was because of my stepmother last time... Anyway, I’m very sorry."
"It’s okay!" Zhang Lingying cut her off breezily, seemingly not wanting to hear her apology but instead leaned in with a hint of curiosity.
"So, is it okay to ask if he has a girlfriend yet?"
"..." Ji Weitian was stunned again, unbelievingly looking at Zhang Lingying.
Could she have fallen for Leng Jian at first sight?
"Don’t look at me like that. I’m not eyeing your friend. I’m just curious. For such an outstanding man, how come no discerning girl has taken him home? Does he not like women, or is there already someone in his heart, so he doesn’t see anyone else?" Zhang Lingying said, her words laden with double meanings as though she was probing something.
Ji Weitian furrowed her brows and thought carefully, disagreeing with her.
"Do outstanding people have to be in a relationship? You’re outstanding too, aren’t you single?"
"I’m different!" Zhang Lingying rebutted quickly.
"What’s different about you?" Ji Weitian raised an eyebrow at her.
Zhang Lingying instantly replied with a smile, "I’m young!"
Ji Weitian: "..."
That kind of made sense.
So, Leng Jian was even a year older than her, and while she was already the mother of two children, Leng Jian was still single. To others, that might seem truly odd?
Ji Weitian seemed to have never considered this question.
Since she had known Leng Jian, he had always been a loner.
Even though they had a working relationship, Leng Jian had never been overly concerned with her, leaving plenty of space for their independence.
She always felt that he must like this lifestyle and had never thought about whether living alone made him appear lonely or even odd.
But why... was Zhang Lingying so interested in him?
Leng Jian had told her that they’d only met once.
"I heard you were drunk last time. You guys didn’t do anything, did you?" Ji Weitian couldn’t help but ask, concerned.
Zhang Lingying seemed to recall some embarrassing memory, turned her head, and walked out, "I just remembered, I haven’t sent my chip model to everyone, I’m going to do that now..."
She paused at the doorway,
Then turned back to look at Ji Weitian and blurted out, "Oh, right, I forgot to ask you, who’s this ’Y’ you were talking about?"
