Chapter 402: It’s Just Zhou Zhuang Dreaming of a Butterly, Your Grace Is Also An Ordeal (2)

Lin Jiayi was a very decisive person who tended to act right after making up her mind. Right after she said those words, she grabbed her bag and rose to her feet. She tossed the words “Take care of Yaoyao well” over to Lin Jiage before leaving swiftly.

As Lin Jiayi had some alcohol at the birthday banquet, she didn’t drive to her office. Instead, she called her family’s driver over to the entrance of Beijing World Hotel.

It was already nine at night at the moment, but in this busy metropolitan city, the streets were still a little jammed.

In order to pass her time, Lin Jiayi sat on the back seat and fiddled with her phone.

Some time later, her phone suddenly popped out a notification indicating that her battery was running low. So, she passed her phone over to the driver to have it charged.

Left with nothing to do, she lowered her car window.

There were many pedestrians along the streets. Lovers were huddled together, strolling down the streets. While passing through an overhead bridge, she saw a few peddlers selling phone stickers and all sorts of accessories. There were also some roadside stores selling barbecued meat…

Taking in such a sight through the car window, she realized that it had been a long time since she had been to a night market.

The traffic condition finally alleviated a little, and the car began to move steadily ahead. Nevertheless, its speed was still rather slow.

As the scenery outside retreated endlessly from her, Lin Jiayi suddenly caught sight of a man dressed in a white shirt. He was riding on a bike as he crossed the street. The night wind was a little strong, and it tugged on his white shirt persistently.

Lin Jiayi stared at the man for a long time, and the more she looked at him, the more familiar she felt he was. So, she shouted out in agitation, “Stop the car!”

The driver immediately stepped on the break.

“Miss Lin…”

But before the driver could ask what was going on, Lin Jiayi had already gotten off the car, sprinting right toward the man riding on his bike.

She was wearing high heels, so it wasn’t convenient for her to run around. The road was also a little uneven, and in a moment of inattention, she sprained her ankle.

It wasn’t a serious sprain, but it still hurt a little. She quickly took off her high heels, and holding her elegant dress up, she continued chasing after the silhouette with her bare feet.

But no matter how fast Lin Jiayi was, she couldn’t have caught up with a bicycle.

Fortunately, there was an intersection ahead, and the lights happened to turn red. The bicycle stopped at the traffic light.

While gasping for air, Lin Jiayi ran over to the bicycle, and without even resting for a moment, she reached out and grabbed the shoulder of the white-shirt man riding on the bicycle and called out, “Qin Ting…”

The white-shirt man turned his head around in astonishment.

He met eyes with Lin Jiayi, and some time later, he finally asked, “Is there anything I can help you with?”

Lin Jiayi didn’t say a word. She simply stared at the man in a daze.

The lights in front turned green. The man was in a rush to leave the area, so he glanced at the hand Lin Jiayi had on his shoulder and asked once more, “Miss, may I know if there’s anything…”

This time, before he could finish his words, Lin Jiayi had already snapped out of it. She hurriedly released the man’s clothes and said, “I’m sorry, I got the wrong person.”

“It’s alright…” the man replied politely before cycling away.

Soon, his silhouette disappeared amidst the huge crowds of the city.

But Lin Jiayi remained rooted to the spot.

Cars passed by her, and there were all sorts of bustle around her, but Lin Jiayi wasn’t moving at all.

Of course she had gotten the wrong person… How could it possibly be him…

That person from earlier on only had that bit of resemblance to the person she remembered in her memories…

He was the greatest swindler in the world. He promised to spend his life with her, but he ended up leaving her in this world…

No matter how beautiful the future he had promised her was, in the end… it was just Zhou Zhuang dreaming of a butterfly.

Chapter 403: Let Me Tell You a Secret (1)

“Miss Lin? Are you alright?”

The driver who had followed Lin Jiayi all the way here called out to her a few times before she finally responded.

She shot a glance at the driver, but she didn’t say a word.

The driver placed the high heels he had picked up and placed it before Lin Jiayi, saying, “Miss Jiayi, your shoes.”

Lin Jiayi quietly slipped her feet into those high heels before walking over to the car.

The driver rushed forward and opened the door for Lin Jiayi.

Lin Jiayi lowered her back and got into the car.

By the time the driver got onto the car and set off, Lin Jiayi had already reverted back to that proud and domineering lady of the Lin Family that others were familiar with, as if that moment of helplessness she had on the streets was just a dream.

After passing by the intersection ahead, the congestion eased and the remaining part of the journey was a smooth ride.

Soon, the car arrived before the building of the Lin Family.

Upon seeing the car, the security rushed forward and opened the car door for Lin Jiayi.

Lin Jiayi told the driver “You can first return to the hotel” before getting off the car. She ignored the security guard’s greeting and walked into the office building gracefully with her high heels.

The birthday banquet of Grandpa Lin might have started early, but it didn’t end early due to that.

After sending off waves of guests, it didn’t take long for only the relatives of the Lin Family to be left in the room. Lin Jiayi had been gone for two hours by now, but she wasn’t back yet.

When Shi Yao headed to the washroom, she dialed Lin JIayi’s number for the third time, and just when she thought that no one would receive the call again, it suddenly connected.

“Yaoyao?”

Upon hearing Lin Jiayi’s voice, Shi Yao was finally able to put her heart at ease. She said, “Sis Jiayi, Grandpa Lin’s birthday is ending soon. Are you heading back?”

“Ah, I nearly forgot… Yaoyao, I got held up by some work, so I won’t be able to head over right now. Sorry about that. I’ll send the chocolates over to your school tomorrow.”

Even over the phone, Lin Jiayi sounded as gentle as ever.

But for some reason, Shi Yao sensed that something was amiss. She frowned a little as she said, “It’s fine, Sis Jiayi.”

There was a short moment of silence between them before she asked concernedly, “Sis Jiayi? Are you… fine?”

“I’m fine, of course I’m fine. What could happen to me? I’m busy earning money!” Lin Jiayi’s chuckle sounded through the phone.

It seems like I was thinking too much into it… 

Shi Yao heaved a sigh of relief as her heart settled a little. “Alright then, Sis Jiayi. I won’t interrupt you from your work anymore.”

“Muacks, Darling Yaoyao. See you!”

Shi Yao replied with a gentle “See you” before hanging up the phone.

After she kept her phone, she tidied herself up first before walking out of the washroom. She headed over to the basin, and just as she turned on the tap, the door of the washroom opened again.

Hearing the sound, Shi Yao instinctively glanced at the doorway through the mirror.

It was Liang Mumu.

Her complexion didn’t look too good, possibly because she had cried for a bit earlier. The makeup which she had spent a great deal of effort to put on had run. Her mascara had smudged the area around her eyes black.

Liang Mumu also saw Shi Yao too, and after a short look, she simply walked over to the tap just beside Shi Yao as if they were strangers.

Shi Yao didn’t think that there was anything that had to be said between her and Liang Mumu, so she calmly washed her hands before heading out.

But barely after taking a few steps, Liang Mumu suddenly called her, “Shi Yao.”
