Chapter 40 - Teleportation? (1/2)

The dinner resumed after Bao Bao left with Yu Shujun.

It was a lively meal with three adults and one child.

He Yi raised her glass and said smilingly, “Thanks to all of your efforts, the leather factory is finally ready to be opened tomorrow! Both of you have done a good job, cheers!”

“Oh, stop it, we’re friends!” Wei Jiameng laughed as she finished her glass of wine.

“It’s my job to serve you!” Ji Xueshan also finished her glass.

“I don’t feel alone in this battle when the both of you are with me!” said He Yi as she finished her glass. Then, she looked up to meet Wei Jiameng’s eyes, “Jiameng, how are you feeling after today?”

Wei Jiameng was exhausted but happy when asked about her achievements that day. “To be honest, I have never done so much in a day since young so I was pretty disoriented. I’m lucky that you were there to guide me so I didn’t make many mistakes. I am exhausted, but I feel fulfilled!”

There was a unique brilliance on Wei Jiameng’s face. Unlike her usual listless look from muddling along her time, she became confident and lively. A busy woman will be happy, regardless of whether she is married!

He Yi curved her lips slightly, Wei Jiameng’s status and performance were even better than she expected. It seemed like her decision to let Wei Jiameng help her out in the factory was a correct one!

Wei Jiameng would be getting earnings instead of gratuitous pay from her from that day onward. She becacme her friend and superior instead of her benefactor. They became on equal footing and their friendship would not turn sour.

He Yi’s phone vibrated and she took it to check, Yu Shujun sent her two text messages on WeChat. She hesitated for a while before clicking on them.

Yu Shujun sent her a short clip with a simple caption.

In the clip, Yu Shujun took Bao Bao to a booth in the restaurant and Yi Liangze was sitting there. With the sumptuous French cuisine dishes arranged on the table, it seemed like he was waiting for Yu Shujun and Bao Bao.

Bao Bao greeted his father happily as he ran into Yi Liangze’s arms and the clip ended. The caption after the clip was “We reached!”.

‘We…’ He Yi recollected the word and smiled with a hint of hurt. As a woman, she definitely understood the meaning behind Yu Shujun’s words.

She was declaring that she had an uncommonly close relationship with Yi Liangze and his son.

That was the truth! The two were accompanying her for dinner, which proved that they had a special relationship.

“Who is it?” Wei Jiameng asked out of curiosity.

He Yi placed her phone down and replied nonchalantly, “It’s nothing. Let’s eat!”

A waiter pushed a three-tier birthday cake with a dining car into the quietest booth in Red House French Restaurant and the dining table was packed with a sumptuous French cuisine feast.

“Wow! When did you prepare this?” Yu Shujun clasped her hands together happily like a little girl.

Yi Liangze’s reaction was deprecating, “It’s just a cake, all I did was make a call. You don’t need to have such a big reaction!”

A faint blush appeared on Yu Shujun’s pretty cheeks as her eyes shone, “I really am surprised! Thank you, Liangze!”

“Happy birthday, Aunt Yu!” shouted Bao Bao as he took out a jewelry box the size of a disk wrapped delicately in black and gold before presenting it to Yu Shujun and announced with a smile, “Daddy and I picked this for you!”
