Jian Yunong smiled slightly, "You could also hurt your hand and have your brother feed you."
Huo Jinge stomped her foot in anger and turned to leave.
Once her figure disappeared behind the screen, Jian Yunong rejected the chopsticks that Huo Jincheng extended.
"Everyone's gone, why are you still putting on a show?" Jian Yunong had an expression that clearly showed she saw through his act.
Huo Jincheng stiffened slightly.
Jian Yunong picked up the chopsticks with her left hand and clumsily took a couple of bites, spilling food again.
"Forget it, I'm not eating anymore."
Huo Jincheng lifted his eyelids and shot her a cold glance, pulling her back to her seat. "If you're going to act, do it properly!"
To be honest, Huo Jincheng was quite attentive; he gently stirred a bowl of soup to cool it down before feeding it to her.
"Were you this attentive with your girlfriend before?"
As soon as Jian Yunong said this, Huo Jincheng's expression darkened immediately.
"Hey, what's wrong with mentioning her? Can't you let go of her?"
Jian Yunong truly didn't know how to read the room; Huo Jincheng's gaze had already turned icy. The temperature around them dropped accordingly.
"Jian Yunong, you should just stay at the Huo Family Old Residence and take care of yourself."
Huo Jincheng stood up and walked straight out of the room.
He left without hesitation or looking back.
Jian Yunong touched his nose and sighed.
In fact, some wounds do not need to be covered tightly; letting them see the sunlight and feel the changes in temperature can actually aid in healing.
Jian Yunong, having eaten his fill, wandered around.
The back garden of the Huo Family Old Residence was simply like a Suzhou garden.
Jian Yunong sat down behind the Rockery, feeling the gentle breeze.
Suddenly, voices came from behind the Rockery.
"Why didn't Yi Nansheng come with you?"
"He has an important collaboration and has already spent a lot of time on it, so he went to sign the contract in person."
"Does our Huo Family lack that little money? Not accompanying you after marrying you, what kind of talk is that?"
Le Yi's soft voice was like a water lily swaying gently in the evening breeze. "I like ambitious men. I like him no matter what he's like."
"Silly girl, have you never thought that he might be developing himself and will leave the Huo Family when he has grown his wings?"
"You think too much. Yi Nansheng and I have a good relationship."
"I envy you for not worrying about things. But speaking of which, everything is supported by your Third Brother. Everything Yi Nansheng gets is given by your Third Brother. If he dares to do anything to hurt you, making Yi Nansheng go bankrupt would just be a matter of a word from your Third Brother."
Le Yi did not deny it but changed the subject instead.
The voices of the two people grew fainter.
Le Yi's Third Brother is quite impressive! Who is he?
The dull-witted Jian Yunong suddenly realized: Le Yi's Third Brother is Huo Jincheng!
Perhaps marrying Huo Jincheng isn't so bad after all; at least Yi Nansheng shouldn't dare to make a big fuss about her like before.
Jian Yunong silently hypnotized herself.
That night, she rested at the Huo Residence.
A servant took her to Huo Jincheng's room.
"Can I have a different room?"
Jian Yunong didn't want to sleep in his room; she disliked it, very much.
The servant maintained a smile, "This was specially arranged by the old master."
If she wanted to change, she would have to say so herself.
Forget it, forget it. Jian Yunong didn't want to cause trouble.
The rooms of wealthy families were like executive suites in hotels.
Huo Jincheng's room was quite simple, in shades of gray and white, elegantly minimalistic yet exuding a coldness that matched his temperament.
Jian Yunong looked around, and her gaze finally settled on a cute paperweight on the study desk.
Suddenly, there was this object in a room filled with masculine energy, which piqued Jian Yunong's curiosity.
She initially reached out to touch it but then withdrew her hand.
What was she doing?
Do you still want to verify whether this doll was given by Bai Ru to Huo Jincheng?
Everyone has their own secrets, okay?
Jian Yunong straightened up and casually turned her head, noticing the woman standing at the door.
The Sister-in-law of Huo Jincheng was holding a tray. "Grandma asked me to bring you Bird's Nest."
"Thank you. Just put it here."
Jian Yunong pointed to the Eight Immortals Table in the study.
"Huo Jincheng has a cleanliness obsession and doesn't allow anyone to eat in his study."
Bai Yao turned around and placed the tray on the small table by the window.
"Don't touch his things."
"Got it."
Jian Yunong felt like an intruder, being reminded by the owner not to mess around in her territory.
Clearly, this Sister-in-law looked about the same age as Jian Yunong, yet spoke to her in such a condescending tone?
"After you finish eating, leave it at the door; someone will come to collect it."
"Understood."
After seeing Bai Yao leave, Jian Yunong clearly felt a sense of relief.
At that moment, the door was pushed open.
The expression of gasping for breath was not concealed in time, falling into the eyes of Le Yi who had just entered.
"Why didn’t you knock?"
"You scared me to death!"
"Did Sister-in-law give you a hard time?"
"Um..."
Jian Yunong instinctively answered truthfully but felt like she was complaining, so she quickly shook her head, "No."
Le Yi didn't confront her, glancing at the Bird's Nest Porridge on the small table. "This Bird's Nest is not well made; you shouldn't eat it. I'll take care of it."
Saying this, she directly poured it into the trash can.
Jian Yunong stared blankly at Le Yi: "I thought you were going to eat them."
Le Yi smiled slightly, brushing her cheek with her loose hair. "What's there to eat? Who knows if they added something inside."
Jian Yunong: "..."
Le Yi felt like she might have startled Jian Yunong, after all, this girl had not experienced such complicated matters.
"I was just joking. Hahaha, I just wanted to remind you that eating something so nourishing at night can easily lead to weight gain. What if your figure changes? My Third Brother would be heartbroken."
Le Yi laughed happily.
"No, your Third Brother already thinks I'm fat now."
Jian Yunong said straightforwardly.
Le Yi's mouth twitched awkwardly; Third Brother really was something! No wonder after so many years, he still hadn't managed to win someone over!
"Make sure to rest well tonight. Third Brother might not come back today. You’re used to sleeping alone, right?"
"Used to it, very used to it."
If Huo Jincheng were here, she wouldn't be used to it at all.
Le Yi gently patted Jian Yunong's hand in a comforting manner. "Third Brother is a good person. Over time, he will notice your good qualities."
It sounded as if Le Yi understood her very well.
The next morning, Jian Yunong left the Huo Family villa.
She left a note on the neatly made bed.
Early in the morning, with the mist still lingering, she hurried down the quaint street.
Suddenly, someone honked nearby, startling her.
Jian Yunong turned to see Yi Nansheng getting out of the car that had frightened her.
She instinctively wanted to run.
But just as she lifted her foot, Jian Yunong hesitated again.
What was she afraid of?
She was only ten meters away from the Huo Family's main gate. What could Yi Nansheng possibly do to her right under the Huo Family's nose?
Especially when she thought about what she had accidentally overheard yesterday.
Yi Nansheng dares to oppose Huo Jincheng?
Does he have the guts?
Jian Yunong slowed her pace, maintaining her original rhythm as she continued walking forward, unhurried.
"Where are you going? I'll take you!"
Yi Nansheng caught up with her, gripping Jian Yunong's wrist. She shook it off as if she had been electrocuted.
"Yi Nansheng, is my hand something you can touch?"
Jian Yunong looked at him expressionlessly.
This demeanor was indeed quite different from the previous Jian Yunong.
She had always shown more fear and avoidance towards him.
Now, seeing her face him so calmly was a first for Yi Nansheng.
He raised an eyebrow and smiled, slipping his hand into his suit pocket. "It's not safe to be alone."
"Then it's not your place to worry. Yi Nansheng, by seniority, you should respectfully call me Sister-in-law!" After saying this, Jian Yunong straightened her slender back.
Yi Nansheng's expression darkened instantly.
The smile on Jian Yunong's lips grew wider. "Yi Nansheng, the person you're here to pick up is Le Yi, don't get the wrong person."
She turned and walked away, her figure quickly disappearing around the corner.
Yi Nansheng stared gloomily for a long time; he was indeed there to pick up Le Yi. Not attending the Ghost Festival ancestral worship last night had already angered the elders of the Huo Family, and he couldn't afford to be arrogant and show his face everywhere.
Yi Nansheng stood in front of the car door, lighting a cigarette.
At that moment, he saw a slender figure quietly slip out from the side gate of the Huo Family's entrance and quickly walk in the opposite direction, stopping when passing by the garbage station.
Yi Nansheng's eyes flickered.
What could prompt that person to take action personally?
*
Jian Yunong was the first to arrive at the office.
It had only been four days since she last came, and her desk was piled high with clutter.
The latest hotel brochures were stacked like a small mountain on the desk.
"Ah, Xiao Jian, what brings you here? We thought you had resigned!"
"Just leave those things there. You don't have much to do anyway."
"Why don't you clean up the office?"
The speaker was the general manager.
Jian Yunong instinctively glanced at her aunt's office, and the general manager replied coolly, "Mist Shenshen is currently suspended."
The implication was that seeking protection would be futile.
Jian Yunong immediately called Mist Shenshen but found the phone line unavailable.
People in the office whispered among themselves, "It seems Mist General has offended the New Chairman."
"There's an eighty to ninety percent chance of being fired."
"If it were me, treated like that by the leadership, I would definitely quit the hotel myself. Why stay and endure this?"
Everyone in the Public Relations Department knows about the relationship between Jian Yunong and Mist Shenshen.
This department is filled with sharp individuals, skilled at navigating the winds of change. Seeing Mist Shenshen fall from grace, they began to target Jian Yunong as well.
Who would have thought that Jian Yunong could remain after making such a huge blunder at the New Chairman's welcome ceremony? Why should she be allowed to stay?
Everyone felt frustrated; they were young and beautiful and wanted to make their presence known, but a rookie had jumped ahead and messed things up!
Each person was simmering with anger, and now was the perfect time to ignore Jian Yunong.
Worried about Mist Shenshen, Jian Yunong sent her many text messages and finally received a reply after an hour.
