Chapter 283: Chapter 283: Missing Her, Really Missing Her (1)_1

"Yeah! It’s ridiculous. If he left because of Qi Cheng’s threat, I could understand, but it was for money. Li Longtao even said it was money he could never earn in his lifetime. I just called his home and heard he even took his mother with him."

"That was fast!" Wen Nuan exclaimed.

"It must have been Qi Cheng masterminding it!" To Ji Yunhuan, there was no way Li Longtao could have managed all of this on his own in such a short time.

Qi Cheng must have planned it out for Li Longtao, sure that he would agree to his proposal.

Qi Cheng used to say that Li Longtao was not suitable for her. She always denied it. Now, it seemed he was right.

She hated herself a bit for always losing to Qi Cheng!

Her judgment of people was flawed.

He did stand higher than her, seeing through people more accurately.

"So what’s your plan? Continue with the company?" Wen Nuan was worried that Ji Yunhuan might become overly despondent, so she had stayed by her side.

Ji Yunhuan no longer wanted to go back to the company. "Without Li Longtao, we can’t manage the company. He’s a genius in gaming, and we can’t do it. I don’t feel like dealing with these things anymore. I’d rather work at your restaurant! Being a server isn’t bad at all! I suddenly miss the old days working with you. Now that Cheng Cheng is gone, I don’t need to work too hard. It’s enough just to support myself."

"Sure." Wen Nuan smiled, "With me here, I won’t let you starve."

"So, it’s settled then?" Ji Yunhuan laughed.

The next day, Ji Yunhuan went straight to work at Wen Nuan’s restaurant.

She wore the server’s uniform, and though she hadn’t done this job in a long time, she felt quite happy. All she had to do was greet customers every day without thinking about anything else.

"Yunhuan, phone call." Ji Yunhuan was clearing the dishes when she heard Wen Nuan’s voice.

"Coming." She quickly tidied up and walked over, picking up her phone from the counter. She saw it was an unfamiliar number, but since it was from City A, she answered it.

On the other end was a woman with a polite and gentle voice, "May I speak to Ms. Ji?"

"Speaking." Ji Yunhuan suspected it was someone related to the company.

The other party introduced herself, "We are reporters from the City A Evening News. My surname is Yang."

"Evening News?" Ji Yunhuan was puzzled, "We don’t seem to be acquainted, do we?"

She didn’t remember ever meeting such a person.

"It’s fine, it’s fine. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know me. I just have a few questions I’d like to interview you about."

"What do you want to interview me about?" Ji Yunhuan found it amusing, "If it’s about Xingkong Games, please contact the company."

"No, it’s not about that. We received word that Dr. Bai Liyan publicly announced he wanted to marry you, so we wanted to interview you about it." The woman’s voice was sweet.

Ji Yunhuan paused, never expecting it would be about Bai Liyan, "Your information seems too well-informed."

What happened just yesterday was known today.

Reporter Yang laughed, "So, do you have time?"

"Sorry, I’m very busy." Ji Yunhuan didn’t take Bai Liyan’s words seriously at all, but she hadn’t expected the matter to cause such a stir that even the Evening News knew about it. What was going on?

She couldn’t possibly go through with marrying Bai Liyan, could she?

It was just a joke, and it seemed it had gone too far!

"We heard that you are ’Mr. Qi’s’ ex-wife, and now Dr. Bai is so interested in you. Can you tell us how you managed to make such excellent men look at you in a new light?" Though the other person was polite, there was a strong gossipy undertone.

Ji Yunhuan hung up at that point.

Her expression was extremely complex.

"What happened?" Wen Nuan looked at her worriedly.

"A reporter wants to interview me! Asked how I managed to seduce two men at once." Ji Yunhuan laughed, "Are they sick in the head?"

"The reporters know about it? That means quite a lot of people must know by now! You’re famous again."

"It’s alright, I’ve always been ’famous’ in City A. I’ll get back to work. I won’t be taking any calls, don’t answer any that come in." Either the company would call to check on her, or it would be some trivial calls. Although she hadn’t received any calls from Qi Cheng yet, she was sure he would call, and she didn’t want to take that call either.

For a whole week, Ji Yunhuan worked at the restaurant. The weather was getting warmer, and the air was filled with the scent of spring.

In the afternoon, when the restaurant was less crowded, Ji Yunhuan sat at a table where she could catch some sun, lazily basking in the sunshine. Her gaze fell on the spot opposite her.

A middle-aged lady was having her meal. Her every move looked ordinary, but there was an indescribable elegance and composure about her.

Judging by her clothes, she seemed to come from a moderately well-off family.

Ji Yunhuan noticed her because this lady had been there for three days in a row, always choosing the less busy times to come.

"Ms. Ji." After finishing her meal and wiping her mouth with a napkin, every move looking graceful, the lady called.

Ji Yunhuan walked over, "The total is 688 yuan."

The lady looked at her and said, "No rush, sit with me for a while."

With nothing better to do and seeing a customer making such a request, Ji Yunhuan sat down. She also asked someone to clear the table and offered the lady a complimentary sugar-free drink.

Ji Yunhuan found it odd since most restaurant customers wouldn’t address a server as "Ms. Ji" so politely.

This lady...

Noticing the lady’s charming eyes appraising her, Ji Yunhuan felt a bit awkward and asked, "Do we know each other?"

"You might not know me, but I know you." The lady smiled.

Ji Yunhuan gave her a perplexed look, asking uncertainly, "So you knew I was here and came intentionally to eat?"

"You could say that! I’m staying at the hotel next door."

"You’re not a local?" Judging by her accent, she didn’t sound local.

"I was local, but later got married and moved away. I’ve returned just now. I haven’t been back in a long time." The lady said, looking out the window, "City A’s scenery is beautiful! It’s been so long since I came back that I get lost walking around."

She spoke with a soft smile. Ji Yunhuan felt she resembled someone but just couldn’t place it.

Since the lady wasn’t in a hurry to mention how she knew her, Ji Yunhuan didn’t rush to ask. She just stayed and shared the moment.

Until the lady left, she didn’t explain why she came there.

But the next day, she came again.

She chatted for two or three hours before leaving.
