Jin Zi Meng thought for a moment but didn't say much, just mentioning that everyone was aware of the situation at home. However, work was work, and life was life; she simply stated that she had been hired.
Jin Feng slowly settled into the sofa, pondering. She couldn't quite grasp Tong Le's intentions. From her shallow understanding of Tong Le, she had always perceived her as a typical housewife.
Jin Feng pressed on, "So, after meeting your sister-in-law Tong Le today, what do you think of her? What impression did she leave?"
Jin Zi Meng recalled seriously, "I think she's quite impressive. There's a sparkle in her eyes, and she's straightforward in her speech and actions. She doesn't put on airs at all. You would think she’s the boss of the company, but her workstation is right in the lobby with the other employees."
The more Jin Feng thought about it, the more confused she became. "That's strange. Your description doesn't match what Ke Wei Qiang and the others said about her at all."
Curious, Jin Zi Meng asked, "What does the Ke family think of sister-in-law Tong Le?"
Jin Feng instinctively shook her head and reminded her, "Zi Meng, you’ll report to Tongshan Real Estate normally tomorrow. But if Tong Le asks about home matters, just say you don’t know anything about it, alright?"
Jin Zi Meng nodded. "Okay, I understand."
Then she remembered something and asked, "By the way, Mom, how long are you and Uncle Ke staying in the city this time?"
Jin Feng wasn't sure either. "Uncle Ke said they might not leave after this. He even mentioned wanting to move into a big villa in the future. I don't know if that's true or not; anyway, their family is completely in disarray right now!"
Meanwhile, at Tongshan Real Estate.
Tong Le and Jiang Zhichao had been working overtime until seven-thirty in the evening.
As they walked out of the company side by side, Jiang Zhichao looked utterly exhausted.
Tong Le said, "You don’t need to come to the office tomorrow morning. Sleep in and come in the afternoon instead. Make sure to rest well."
With drooping eyelids, Jiang Zhichao replied, "Sister, you have to promise me that one day when you become successful, you’ll take me along to make money too!"
Tong Le laughed and said, "Don’t worry; I wouldn’t leave anyone behind!"
After Jiang Zhichao left, Tong Le headed to the parking lot and got into her car.
As she drove slowly away, she rolled down the window to enjoy the night breeze.
Instinctively, she drove towards home. Although her previous house had been sold, that place still felt like it belonged solely to her.
Once all the paperwork for buying a new home was completed, Tong Le received the new keys to her house. Under Zong Zeyu's arrangement, they had replaced the old locks on her previous home.
Naturally in high spirits, Tong Le planned to eat at a nearby old noodle shop in her neighborhood and enjoy some time alone—free from dealing with ugly and scheming men or cunning mothers-in-law.
It felt great!
However, she didn’t notice that two private cars were following closely behind hers—a sports car and a black business vehicle.
The car driven by Tong Le slowly cruised along, the gentle night breeze brushing against her face. At that moment, her phone buzzed with two WeChat messages, arriving simultaneously from different people.
Tong Le unlocked her phone, her heart skipping a beat as she saw the voice messages from Zong Zeyu and Hou Yi. Zong Zeyu's voice was soft, tinged with a hint of fatigue. "My car is following you. You don't like being seen on dates, right? So I'll just follow you secretly. Are you hungry, my dear? What do you want to eat?"
In contrast, Hou Yi's voice was robust and full of energy, clearly having spent the day idly waiting for this moment. "A tractor could drive faster than you! If you keep this speed up, I might just bump into your car. Why are you so late getting off work today? I've been waiting at your office for ages. Your rumors with Zong Zeyu are all over town now, and it's making me a bit annoyed. How about we stir up some rumors of our own? The three of us can have some fun together."
After listening to both messages, Tong Le furrowed her brow and glanced through the rearview mirror at the two cars in the left and right lanes.
She first replied to Zong Zeyu: "Wait for me at the old noodle shop." Then she responded to Hou Yi: "What’s this? Zong Zeyu is playing the role of the third wheel, and now you want to be the fourth? My harem is getting bigger by the day; soon there will be a fifth and sixth joining in. Just stop following me; I don’t have time to see you right now."
Hou Yi quickly replied, "I just saw Zong Zeyu's business car. Looks like you're planning to go on a date with him tonight. I'm feeling a bit jealous here, Tong Le."
