"Why don’t you dare go home?"
"I’m afraid if my parents find out what happened yesterday, they’ll send me back to the countryside again. Last time I went back, I stayed for two years. If I go again this time... I’ll be old!"
Lu Fei pouted unhappily.
"Those are your biological parents, they won’t let you stay in the countryside forever. Besides, aren’t you getting married to Yang Bo?"
Wu Jiaojiao chuckled softly and comforted her like an elder sister.
"That’s true! But yesterday was unpleasant; Yang Bo has always been very dismissive of me. Jiaojiao, do you think he’ll marry me? Will he run away at the wedding? In so many TV dramas, the groom runs away with another woman."
Every time Lu Fei saw such a scene on TV, she was scared to death, afraid it might happen to her. She never managed to figure out Yang Bo.
"Would he really leave a beauty like you to elope with another woman? He wouldn’t do that unless there’s something wrong with his head."
Wu Jiaojiao said softly, raising her hand to point at her head, referring to Yang Bo’s head.
Hearing this, Lu Fei held on to a glimmer of hope. She thought Yang Bo was unlikely to act like that. Although he was straightforward, he seemed to be a gentleman.
But just ten minutes later, when the two picked up their chopsticks to eat, Lu Fei received a call from home. Terrified, she immediately put down her chopsticks and whispered to the woman beside her, "It’s my dad!"
"Answer it!"
Wu Jiaojiao whispered back.
Lu Fei nodded, took a deep breath, and nervously answered the call: "Hello? Dad! I’m having dinner with Jiaojiao. Uh-huh! What? I haven’t been there. Is someone, what? Breaking off the engagement?"
Lu Fei tried to bluff her way through with her father for a while, thinking she had managed to do so when she suddenly heard about the Yang Family breaking off the engagement, which startled her so much she jumped out of her chair.
Wu Jiaojiao looked at her puzzled, with some complex emotions in her brow, already guessing the content of Lu Fei’s call.
"Jiaojiao, what should I do? The Yang Family broke off the engagement?"
Lu Fei slowly put down her phone, her eyes already welling up with tears.
"How can this be? Could it be some mistake?"
Wu Jiaojiao asked her anxiously.
"No! My dad just called me to find the ring and return it to them."
Lu Fei slowly sat back down, wiping her tears as she spoke.
"How can the Yang Family just break off the engagement like that? Why?"
"According to my dad, it was a call from Yang Bo’s father, seems to be because of what happened yesterday afternoon. Boohoo, Jiaojiao, what should I do? I only wanted to vent for you."
"Don’t be upset, at worst, I’ll go explain to your uncle. You did this for me, you shouldn’t take the blame."
Wu Jiaojiao held her hand and comforted her, like some grand finale, genuinely concerned for Lu Fei.
"Really? You can really do that?"
Lu Fei was excited, her teary eyes looking at her.
"Yes! Let’s go now!"
Wu Jiaojiao picked up the bag she had placed behind her, didn’t eat her meal, and dragged the still-stunned Lu Fei out.
Wen Runuan and Mr. Zhang were drinking fish soup. Seeing the two rush down the stairs, Wen looked curiously and saw Wu Jiaojiao and Lu Fei. Wen was a bit unfamiliar with Lu Fei but had heard of Wu Jiaojiao because of Mu Yichen.
"Do you know that woman? The manager just said she’s called Wu Jiaojiao!"
Wen Runuan softly asked Mr. Zhang.
Mr. Zhang glanced at the now-empty seats over there and then looked toward the staircase, saying, "Do you mean the woman who was recently entangled with Mu Yichen, and then got fired by the TV station because of him?"
"She got fired from the TV station?"
"Since when are you interested in gossip?"
Mr. Zhang curiously looked at his wife. Wen Runuan wasn’t someone who liked gossip; she was just always the subject of it.
"Tell me!"
"Tell you? What’s in it for me?"
The man always seemed to want something in exchange when the woman needed something from him.
"What’s in it for you? I’ll stop being angry, and you tell me!"
Wen Runuan suddenly smiled gently, earnestly requesting.
Mr. Zhang didn’t push her any further: "It seems it’s because she went to Paris with Mu Yichen, and then a couple of days later, she got fired."
Wen Runuan hadn’t been in the city for a few months, so she didn’t know about such exciting happenings here.
But thinking about it, this woman named Wu Jiaojiao, who seemed so secretive, was definitely no ordinary character. After getting fired from the TV station, she wouldn’t just swallow her pride.
