He Yanrong increasingly felt that there might be something called destiny. Ever since she met Li Zhiyan, he always showed up whenever she was in danger.
And he would throw himself in harm’s way to shield her. Just now, watching Li Zhiyan block in front of her, He Yanrong couldn’t help but feel a surge of emotions deep inside her.
Some of her decisions also started to lose their firmness under the persistent erosion of sentimentality.
"Aunt, I often travel for work, passing by the area. I saw Jin Muxue get off the car, along with Evelyn, and that Liu Nini—I’ve seen her photo before."
"At the time, I sensed something might be off, so I followed them here."
He Yanrong’s heart was flooded with warmth, while Lai Feifei began noticing something unusual.
"Zaizai, you know that Evelyn?"
"Aunt, you know her too?"
"Never met her. I’m just curious how you know such a mixed-race woman."
As she spoke, Aunt’s mind couldn’t help but be filled with envy. That woman wearing high heels easily exceeded 1.8 meters in height.
Her legs were outrageously long, paired with her E+ bust. Why are all the women I meet built this well?
Even my 36D, once standing out as unparalleled during school days, is lackluster in comparison to these women.
However, thinking about Jin Muxue’s height eased Aunt’s feelings a lot. At least in this regard, she still held an undeniable advantage.
"Aunt, that Evelyn recently got transferred to my company, managing the entire sales department now."
"So, she’s your superior now? How will you handle things in the future? Zaizai, remember—no matter how she bullies you, don’t ever be afraid."
"Aunt will protect you."
Li Zhiyan knew Aunt Lai wasn’t lying. After all, back when Catherine wanted to fire him...
Aunt had stepped in to help him. But now, within the company, he didn’t need Aunt’s assistance—not at this stage at least.
Catherine, that American woman, was going to shield him no matter what, especially since her clashes with Evelyn were relentless.
"Alright, Aunt, I understand!"
Hearing Li Zhiyan calling her Aunt repeatedly, the sense of closeness stirred He Yanrong’s jealousy, which quietly fermented within her.
Often, she found herself fantasizing about how wonderful it would be if she had met Li Zhiyan alone, without the complications of reality.
Traffic at this hour wasn’t too congested, and Li Zhiyan’s driving was smooth.
At this moment, the task rewards were also distributed.
Li Zhiyan now owned his 22nd store, accumulating bit by bit, filling his heart with excitement.
However, the journey to his billion-dollar goal was still painfully distant.
Simultaneously, the system prompted him to name the primary school he had d to.
After considering, Li Zhiyan decided to name it Yiyan Hope Primary School. After all, it was d to a remote mountain village.
Li Zhiyan wasn’t worried about anyone noticing or questioning it.
Lai Feifei meanwhile dialed Shen Hongmei’s number.
"Come to Rongrong’s restaurant for dinner later. If you’re busy with work, set it aside temporarily."
Hearing this, Shen Hongmei, at home, wore a slightly serious expression.
"Today, Liu Nini went to Century Palace and fired Rongrong. Starting now, Rongrong will be moving to her Sister Rong’s Restaurant."
"Alright, I’ll head over in a bit."
For He Yanrong, this was undoubtedly a big blow. Shen Hongmei also knew how deeply He Yanrong respected Liu Nini.
Now that this had happened, her mood must be terrible. With the bond the three of them shared over the years, they needed to comfort her properly.
"Of course, he is. If it weren’t for him today, things could’ve gone really bad for us."
Shen Hongmei was also aware that those women were exceptionally domineering. After all, social status influenced people’s arrogance.
As Lai Feifei hung up the phone, Li Zhiyan’s heart filled with anticipation. Whenever Shanghai Three Aunts gathered, it truly was a completely fulfilling mental experience!
Upon arriving at Sister Rong’s Restaurant, a truck filled with belongings also arrived shortly after.
Li Zhiyan had noted in the order to move the luggage and added extra money, so the driver enthusiastically carried the boxes into the restaurant.
"Put it in the last room on the second floor—the one with a view of the street."
Li Zhiyan examined the restaurant’s decor. It was very artistic, perfectly matching Aunt Rong’s taste. The only question was how well business fared.
The waitstaff, upon seeing He Yanrong, respectfully greeted her as the boss lady. In their hearts, she was always a kind and beautiful woman, making it hard not to feel affection for her.
Opening the door to the last room on the second floor, Li Zhiyan saw polished wooden floors, spotless and clean.
Actually, He Yanrong also had a house, but she seldom liked returning home. She preferred staying busy, ensuring she didn’t feel too empty.
This room was specifically reserved by her before. Unexpectedly, it was put to good use today.
"Zaizai, both floors of this shop belong to your Aunt Rong, you know! Didn’t see that coming, huh?"
Li Zhiyan was stunned. Clearly, he had underestimated Aunt Rong’s wealth—this was undeniably a prime, bustling location.
