Chapter 804 - He Likes You
Ye Yuwei ignored Xiao Yaojing’s grumbling. “Hey, your parents seem very fond of PA Wen, aren’t they?”
“Oh, put a sock in it. He acts like a concierge in a five-star hotel around them! End-to-end service, that’s what it is. Do you know what the best part is? He’s so pretentious!” Her mother’s nagging was all thanks to PA Wen.
“PA Wen is quite good-looking, honestly speaking,” admitted Ye Yuwei delightfully—switching the documents in her hands.
“Do you know, even though he had to go to Feng County this morning, he made a big detour to deliver breakfast to my folks! Now my dad can’t stop praising him! I just don’t get it, what is it between him and my parents?” Xiao Yaojing grumbled. The more she talked about it, the more agitated she became.
Ye Yuwei chuckled and grabbed another document. “It’s just a matter of time before somebody wins over his in-laws’ hearts.”
Xiao Yaojing rolled her eyes at Ye Yuwei then continued, “That just explains his professionalism.”
Ye Yuwei had grown tired of Xiao Yaojing’s evasion on this matter.
“Where should we have lunch later?” asked Xiao Yaojing.
“There is a restaurant downstairs.” Ye Yuwei said then suggested, “I think PA Wen helped you a lot. Why don’t you return the favor and appease his family next time?”
“Oh, come on,” Xiao Yaojing grumbled. She stood, walked to the window and observed the people on the road. “It’s better for me to think about where to get a new job. I don’t understand why my own mother has so many antipathies against me.”
“A single woman at thirty equals dead meat in your mother’s eyes. I saw it first-hand,” was Ye Yuwei’s blunt reminder.
“Shut your mouth! I’m not thirty yet!” blustered Xiao Yaojing.
Ye Yuwei shook her head lightly and said, “It’s just around the corner, right?”
Xiao Yaojing just looked down and squinted. “Is that Qian Yikun?”
Ye Yuwei heard her and immediately stood and walked to the window. She looked in the same direction as Xiao Yaojing and noticed a man among the crowd who seemed to be following someone. That man resembled Qian Yikun.
Qian Yikun had returned?
“It looks like him.” Ye Yuwei’s gaze followed the man until he disappeared around a corner.
“I didn’t hear any news about him coming back so fast.”
“Is he really an interpol? Went undercover for over a decade for the Bai family’s case?” asked Xiao Yaojing curiously—hands gripping Ye Yuwei’s arm.
“Yes. Why would I lie to you? Why, are you falling for him again?” teased Ye Yuwei. She glanced at Xiao Yaojing then looked away.
“Stop it, he is not my type.” Xiao Yaojing waved her hands. “I’d better think about my new job.”
“Yaojing, is the real reason you don’t want to come to Gu Bank because you don’t want to pull strings, or because you don’t want PA Wen to pull strings for you?” asked Ye Yuwei.
Xiao Yaojing was stunned for a second but laughed it off. “Even if I wanted to pull strings to get into Gu Bank, I would ask you to do it! What does he have to do with it? Yezi, I really think your imagination has run wild.” Xiao Yaojing tapped her friend’s shoulder.
Ye Yuwei turned around and looked at her friend. “Isn’t the thing that you minded the most PA Wen helping you to hit on Brother Lu? He likes you so he did those things to make you happy, isn’t that enough of a reason?”
“Of course not !” Xiao Yaojing shrieked.
