Tong Le received a reply from Zong Zeyu. She had no idea who Zong Zeyu was on the other end of the phone; all she knew was that this man named Zong Zeyu was a friend helping her parents with their real estate. Now that she had learned the whereabouts of the land, she needed to make plans as soon as possible.
As she gazed out at the scenery through the car window, she realized that there were still four hours until her scheduled meeting with Zong Zeyu. She didn’t plan to go home, as that would mean facing Zhang Huizhi’s lifeless expression. Moreover, she hadn’t figured out how to use the fake pregnancy test results to deceive Zhang Huizhi and Ke Wenjie.
Tong Le arrived at the Azure Cloud Hotel, where she stayed for a full four hours. Alone in the hotel restaurant, she was approached several times by staff asking if she needed anything to eat, but Tong Le only ordered a glass of water. Her pocket money was limited, and she couldn’t afford to spend in such an expensive restaurant; all the money she had saved up had gone into hiring a private investigator.
Since Ke Wenjie took control of the company, her financial autonomy had also been restricted. Sitting quietly in a corner, Tong Le waited patiently for Zong Zeyu’s call.
At that moment, a tall and handsome man entered the restaurant, catching Tong Le’s attention. She felt a sense of familiarity; the man who walked in seemed to be the same one she had encountered at the private hospital earlier that afternoon. Tong Le hesitated to approach him; after all, they had only met once.
She glanced down at her phone and saw that it was already six o'clock. Zong Zeyu still hadn’t called, which suggested he might have been delayed by something. All she could do was continue waiting.
In another corner of the restaurant, Zong Zeyu took his seat. From the moment he entered, he had noticed Tong Le’s presence but chose not to greet her. They sat at opposite corners of the restaurant, like strangers.
Soon after, his blind date arrived at the restaurant and immediately recognized him. The woman gracefully sat down across from Zong Zeyu and smiled, “Hello, I’m Su Qing.”
Zong Zeyu remained expressionless and responded curtly. He had no interest in blind dates; if it weren’t for his mother’s relentless pressure, he would have preferred to shave his head and devote himself entirely to making money without any emotional entanglements. The only person who kept him tethered to this world was Tong Le, sitting quietly in her corner.
He thought about how strange it was that two people who had never crossed paths before ended up meeting at a private hospital today. It felt like fate was playing tricks on him—whenever he wanted something desperately, it eluded him; yet when he was ready to give up, it brought old acquaintances back into his life.
Unconsciously lost in thought, Zong Zeyu found his gaze drifting toward Tong Le.
Su Qing followed Zong Zeyu's gaze and glanced in Tong Le's direction a couple of times. She couldn't discern anything unusual, but she was quite dissatisfied with Zong Zeyu's attitude towards the blind date.
Clearing her throat, Su Qing spoke up, "Did you hear what I just said?"
Zong Zeyu withdrew his gaze, offering an awkward smile. "Sorry, please continue."
