Chapter 4 đ§đđŠđŠđâŻđŁđđžđżâŻđ.đđžđ
After work in the evening.
In a milk tea shop near the university, I met Ye Mengyan.
She had changed into a white shirt, paired with a black pleated skirt, which made her look innocent and pure.
Her eyes were beautiful, and when she laughed she revealed pearly white teeth, her smile radiant and pure.
âYouâre here!â
âYou needed to see me?â
Ye Mengyan took out a bag of dried medicinal herbs from her bag and placed it in front of me.
âI noticed youâre looking a bit pale, my mom brought some dried ginseng from our hometown. You should take it to boost your health.â
âThank you, where is your hometown?â
âOh, itâs in Qingcheng⊠which is quite impoverished! However, the mountains there have plentiful wild herbs, which are much better than the cultivated ones.â
We chatted for a while, and the conversation steered towards fashion design.
âXiaoyun, youâre an employee at Zhenyi Company, right?â
âHow did you know?â
âEr, I saw your work badge last time.â
âYeah, Iâm just a humble employee at Zhenyi Company.â
âI didnât really need anything particular, I just wanted to chat with you. I noticed you have talent in fashion design, why arenât you working in the field?â
âWell, fashion design is my hobby, I donât want to turn it into my job.â
âAh, I really envy you! Actually, I also want to join Zhenyi Company.â
Ye Mengyanâs aspirations surprised me a little.
âWhatâs so great about Zhenyi Company?â
âThis company is currently the best-developing and most powerful company in A City. Moreover, their president is very ambitious. Such a talented manâŠâ
When Ye Mengyan mentioned Gu Yuanzhou, her eyes were filled with admiration and awe.
Not only is Gu Yuanzhou intelligent and competent, but he also has an extraordinary appearance, making it easy for women to be smitten by him.
I couldnât help but ask her,
âIf Gu Yuanzhou asked you to be his mistress, would you be willing?â
Ye Mengyan shyly laughed,
âYouâre joking! How could a regular girl like me be worthy of President Guâs attention? Besides, he loves his wife so much, I donât think thereâs room in his heart for another woman.â
As we were leaving the milk tea shop, a lady on the street stopped us and begged for help.
âYoung lady, my phone was stolen and now I donât have money to take transport home. Could you lend me 100 Yuan for transport?â
Seeing her neat clothing and the way her eyes kept shifting, it seemed like she was scamming, so I didnât say anything.
Unexpectedly, Ye Mengyan very readily took out 100 yuan from her wallet and gave it to her. She even handed her the bread she just bought, in case the woman didnât have anything to eat.
âThank you!â
The woman gratefully and quickly left.
âEr, you just gave her the money like that. Didnât you consider the possibility she might be a scammer?â
âA scammer? I thought she didnât look like one.â
âIf she was really robbed, she should have gone to the police station. The officers would have helped her.â
âItâs okay, itâs just 100 yuan. What if she really needed it?â
Ye Mengyanâs words made me feel her kindness once more.
How could such a kind-hearted girl be a despised mistress?
âXiaoyun, I really like you. I want to be your friend. Do you know why?â
âWhy?â
âBecause you are so much like my sisterâŠâ
âWhich sister?â
âSong Yun!â
Her words took me by surprise.
âHer?â
âHmm, she was such a good person. I really miss her so much! Alas, itâs such a pity she had a short life. I have been wanting to go to the temple these days, to help her pray for a better rebirth.â
Ye Mengyanâs voice choked up, tears welling in her eyes. I could feel her emotions were genuine.
I believe no mistress would have such feelings for the original wife.
Could the mistress really not be her?
Suddenly, there was a crush of people up ahead. Looking up, we saw a few luxury cars surrounding an ancient temple. The car doors opened.
A man in a suit, dignified, stepping out of the car.
He was wearing sunglasses, his face cold as frost. In his arms were memorial tablets of his wife and child, as he made his way towards the main building.
âItâs Mr. Gu!â
Ye Mengyan softly murmured, longingly watching from afar, her eyes filled with fascination.
Gu Yuanzhouâs silhouette seemed a bit lonesome.
Behind him were countless reporters snapping photos.
âHeâs so pitiful! I heard that his beloved wife and two children died tragically in a fire overnight.â
âAlas, I canât even bear to think about it! How is he going to carry on with his life!â
âItâs as if his world has collapsed.â
âI think heâs here for a memorial service, to help his wife and kids transcend, guiding them towards the afterlife.â
âSuch a devoted man, he is indeed a rare breed!â
The voices of the crowd were overlapping.
Some people were wiping their tears, sympathizing with Gu Yuanzhou.
Regarding the discussion of the crowd, I remained calm.
If I werenât Gu Yuanzhouâs marketing staff, perhaps I would have been easily moved too.
Beside me, Ye Mengyan was also constantly watching Gu Yuanzhou off in the distance.
It seemed like every move he made touched her heart.
âAh, I really donât know how he has managed to get through these days.â
Ye Mengyan sighed softly.
I glanced at her,
âIf youâre worried about him, you could call and comfort him.â
Ye Mengyan gave a soft laugh,
âI donât have his personal number.â
âDidnât you say that his wife sponsored your education? If youâre this close, how could you not have his number?â
âSponsoring me was Sister Songâs personal act. It has nothing to do with Mr. GuâŠI donât have any private interactions with him.â
âOh, you care so much about him, I thought you were close friends.â
âNot at all, I purely care for him because of Sister Song.â
Ye Mengyanâs voice was soft.
The sound of the monks striking the wooden fish echoed, their chants reverberating through the temple.
Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my chest and a wave of dizziness overcame me.
It took a while before I regained clarity.
Ye Mengyan had helped me to a shady spot.
âXiaoyun, are you okay? Should I take you to the hospital? Your hand is so cold!â
âIâm fine, Iâve been frail since I was a child, I canât go to places where spirits are worshipped.â
âLet me take you home!â
âNo need, Iâll take a cab.â
