“You’re still going to work?” Xiao Yaojing gasped in surprise.
“What do you mean by that? I didn’t skip work when Xixi and Xicheng were little. Now that they’re growing up, I have to stop working because of them?” Ye Yuwei rolled her eyes and continued, “Speaking of which, Xixi and Xicheng are all grown up. When are you going to get married? Girl, you’re almost 30.”
“Get lost. The reason you’re meeting me today is to annoy me, isn’t it?” Xiao Yaojing scolded.
“Just give birth to a wife for my Xicheng. Look at how obedient Xicheng is —a perfect gentleman.” Pride shone on Ye Yuwei’s face when she talked about her son.
“Do you always call Xicheng that?” Xiao Yaojing questioned curiously.
“Oh, he had a nickname that correlates with his sister’s: Beibei. However, once he learned to talk he also learned his father’s prideful attitude. No matter what we said, he still refused to go by that nickname. He would cry every time we called him Beibei, so from then on we only called him by his name instead,” Ye Yuwei said sadly. The nickname she gave him had only survived a few days.
Xiao Yaojing burst into laughter; he really was Gu Juexi’s son.
Their food was quickly served and soon the table was covered by dishes. Ye Yuwei glanced down at the table and felt sorry for her stomach. How long did she have to eat?
Xiao Yaojing picked up her chopsticks and began eating. “The problems with my job can wait. I’ve been busy for so long, I’m even considering giving myself a rest instead.”
“That’s fine. You’ve bought yourself a house anyway, there’s no rush,” Ye Yuwei said. Just as she wanted to say something else, she saw a few people walking in. “Hey, look—”
Xiao Yaojing turned her head curiously and saw a few ladies entering the restaurant. However, the spotlight was not on them but on Mei Chaofeng who was with them. Mei Yashi obviously saw Xiao Yaojing and her smile was a bit awkward.
A sneer formed on Xiao Yaojing’s lips. “What a small world it is.”
Ye Yuwei ducked her head and ate when Mei Yashi and her friends sat down nearby. They were probably having dinner after work.
“Yashi, what are you looking at?” An acquaintance asked as she noticed Mei Yashi constantly looking back.
“That person is Senior’s girlfriend.” Mei Yashi’s tone was laced with bitterness and it was quite clear that she was still not over PA Wen.
Mei Yashi’s friend raised her head and turned to them. When she saw Xiao Yaojing’s face, she scoffed. “She’s not much.”
Ye Yuwei swallowed and hoped Xiao Yaojing did not hear.
Xiao Yaojing was the campus belle during their time. It was true that a woman was the most terrifying when she was envious but how was it that she was labeled as not much?
“That’s enough, don’t say anything anymore,” Mei Yashi said with a sigh.
“Why can’t I say anything? How many years have you liked your senior? Look at that woman, one glance and it’s obvious she’s just a pretty face. Your senior is young, successful, and rich, who knows if she—”
“Who are you talking about?” Xiao Yaojing slammed her chopsticks on the table and whipped around to glare at them.
Ye Yuwei clicked her tongue but did not stand up. Xiao Yaojing hated it the most when someone called her that. Xiao Yaojing’s voice was loud and though there were not many people having their meals there, the ones nearby were stunned. The few female teachers were not excluded.
“Miss Xiao, I’m sorry, my friend—”
“Miss Mei, you can stop pretending, it’s pointless.” Ye Yuwei leaned back in her chair and cut off Mei Yashi’s thoughts of murdering someone with a smile. She asked the waiter to pack their leftover meals.
Mei Yashi’s face went pale, she actually had no argument.
