“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.”
