Ji Shaoli followed along with great interest as he got off the bus.
However, Mist Shenshen led him casually to a fast-food restaurant by the roadside.
People were coming and going, and the noise was overwhelming.
Not to mention that it wasn't a suitable environment for conversation.
But Mist Shenshen, in her high heels, walked straight to the counter and ordered a meal combo.
"Is this what we're eating?" Ji Shaoli never expected Mist Shenshen would bring him to this KFC. The place was cramped, and after others left, they had left behind a pile of trash on the table.
The environment was really not great.
Ji Shaoli had finally managed to get a date with Mist Shenshen and just wanted to find a quiet, classy place to have a nice dinner. At least it would be just the two of them, without being disturbed or having so many people staring at them.
"How about we change places? It's on me! If you want to eat this, we can take it to go."
As soon as Ji Shaoli finished speaking, Mist Shenshen had already set down her tray and sat down at a freshly cleared spot.
Once seated, Mist Shenshen didn't want to move. She raised her hand in a gesture inviting Ji Shaoli to join her.
"Why change places? I think this place is pretty good," Mist Shenshen said as she picked up a French fry, her favorite. "I don't want to be photographed as a corporate beauty executive interfering in a big star's marriage. I'm just an ordinary person who can't handle that much attention."
So she chose such a public place?
"Isn't it easier to be photographed here?" Ji Shaoli sat down, helplessly unbuttoning his suit jacket.
Mist Shenshen twisted a few fries in her delicate fingers and soon lost her appetite. If Jian Yunong were here, she would definitely be able to handle everything; that little foodie!
"Who would be foolish enough to date in a place like this?" Mist Shenshen scoffed, "It's simply ridiculous. But your wife has a unique way of thinking; perhaps any female around you would be eager to stir up the fans?"
"It's my ex-wife," Ji Shaoli corrected her.
Ji Shaoli frowned. Mist Shenshen thought she was hiding her hostility well, but it was quite apparent. However, compared to the fiery and straightforward girl from years ago, the current Mist Shenshen seemed like a polished professional, managing her emotions exceptionally well—she was like a different person.
"Does it matter?" Mist Shenshen raised an eyebrow, "From Miss Ye's perspective, you haven't divorced yet."
"The divorce agreement has already been signed..."
"That's enough."
Mist Shenshen made a stopping gesture, "This is your private matter; I'm not interested in hearing about it."
Ji Shaoli looked at her in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"
Why did she suddenly change her demeanor?
"Did she do something to you?" Ji Shaoli suddenly realized this point.
Mist Shenshen crossed her arms and turned her head to look out at the street view.
As she turned her head, a strand of curly hair fell to the side of her cheek, giving her profile a soft appearance.
But this was merely an illusion seen by Ji Shaoli.
Mist Shenshen found it amusing; she was no longer the person she used to be, someone anyone could trample on when they were unhappy. Ye Qingqing could not do anything to the current Mist Shenshen.
With a cold laugh, Mist Shenshen slowly said, "There are tabloids spreading rumors about you and my niece having an affair."
Ji Shaoli was taken aback, then his expression became very serious. "Nonsense!"
Mist Shenshen paid no attention to whether he was angry or not; she was already feeling quite furious inside.
"I only have Nong Nong as a relative. She is now the daughter-in-law of the Huo Family. The wealthy family values their reputation highly. With these ridiculous reports coming out, how will Nong Nong's in-laws view her? Nong Nong has such a silly personality; she always reports good news but never bad. Today, she must have been scolded by the Huo Family because of this matter. Huo Jincheng's mother... never mind... why am I even telling you this?"
Although Jian Yunong did not say a word more than necessary, her words were excessive! Did Mist Shenshen not know her? Most likely, she was feeling guilty and thus spoke too much! Huo Jincheng was a good person, but he had a formidable mother! Mist Shenshen had worked at the Hotel Management Group and had interacted with this strong woman several times.
Stiff and domineering was Mist Shenshen's assessment of Huo Jincheng's mother.
Fortunately, Jian Yunong married into the family, and the grandparents of the Huo Family treated her very well.
"I'm sorry about all this... I just found out..." Ji Shaoli's face was filled with guilt. Jian Yunong had been innocently caught up in this divorce war. This person was still very important to Mist Shenshen.
Mist Shenshen ignored his apology. "You don't need to apologize to me. You're not the one who did something wrong."
Ye Qingqing was responsible for this mess!
Ji Shaoli slightly pursed his lips, "I will handle this matter."
"Okay. I believe that Mr. Ji will keep his word. I hope we won't meet again in the future!"
Mist Shenshen dropped this remark and quickly walked away in her high heels.
Ji Shaoli was momentarily blocked by a child running past, and he instinctively raised his hand to support himself. By the time he exited the KFC, Mist Shenshen had already vanished without a trace.
Ji Shaoli immediately dialed Mist Shenshen's number, but as expected, it was turned off.
Just when their relationship had eased a bit, it was disrupted by this small incident.
Now, Mist Shenshen appeared to be charming and graceful, but Ji Shaoli knew her true personality—petty, vengeful, protective of her own interests, and easily provoked.
This time, Ye Qingqing had touched Mist Shenshen's bottom line. Even though it wasn't directly Ji Shaoli's fault, he would still be implicated.
Ji Shaoli called his assistant, "Cancel all related reports! This kind of trash tabloid should not exist to produce more garbage."
It was rare for the assistant to hear Mr. Ji's angry tone.
A usually gentle and refined man losing his temper must mean he cared about someone mentioned in the news!
Ji Shaoli sat back in the driver's seat. He initially planned to wait at the hotel entrance until Mist Shenshen came out, but she would surely anticipate his actions and most likely wouldn't return to the apartment to sleep.
Ji Shaoli dialed Ye Qingqing.
Ye Qingqing was probably in a bar, and Ji Shaoli vaguely heard the noisy background sounds. "What do you want to tell me? Didn't you say we were getting a divorce? Why are you looking for me again?"
Her tone was very arrogant.
Ji Shaoli replied flatly, "Those trashy tabloids write nonsense. Is your PR team just sitting around doing nothing?"
"Nonsense? Really? I don't think they're writing nonsense at all!"
The laughter in Ye Qingqing's voice was sharp. "Ji Shaoli, we are divorced now. How others choose to write is their business, it has nothing to do with me. Don't pin this on me!"
Ye Qingqing is now a hot star, thanks to her top-notch PR team.
Ji Shaoli didn't believe that Ye Qingqing knew nothing in advance.
Her silence was an indulgence.
"That was an innocent bystander!" Ji Shaoli suppressed his anger. "Can't we part on good terms?"
"Part on good terms? Haha..." Ye Qingqing's voice became vague. "Did we ever have a good time? We just had sex, right?"
