Mo Qianni didn't expect Lin Ruoxi to have such a strong reaction. She smiled gently and said, "Okay, okay. I won't talk about it anymore. You must have your own thoughts too. Let's go downstairs for a cup of coffee and some desserts. I think you're just as lazy as me, right? "
The two girls' immunity to desserts had always been relatively low. Although Lin Ruoxi loved eating glutinous rice balls the most, she was also far more fond of other cakes than rice. Usually, she was too embarrassed to go to the cafe under the building to eat desserts alone, but with Mo Qianni accompanying her, things were different.
Lin Ruoxi looked at the time. There were still more than two hours before the afternoon meeting would begin. She pursed her lips and nodded with her eyes glowing. "Then wait for me. I'll go downstairs with you after I put the things down."
Speaking of which, ever since Yang Cheng was caught in the middle, the relationship between the two had been in a delicate state. Perhaps it was because Yang Cheng had been going out these days that their relationship seemed to be recovering.
At the same time, in the villa in the western suburbs.
Guo Xuehua looked at the date. Tomorrow was the Double Ninth Festival. If she was in Beijing, she would have to go to the Yang Family's ancestral hall to worship the ancestors. However, she didn't know when Yang Cheng would come back, so there was no need for her to rush over. Thus, she decided to cook some traditional food at home to worship the ancestors.
Although many young people didn't care much about this custom, Guo Xuehua knew that this kind of respect for the elders was still very important to the children. A family must have rules after all.
Especially now that there was Lanlan in the family, she also hoped that her granddaughter could have a good education.
Remembering that Lin Ruoxi's grandmother and mother's graves were in Zhonghai, Guo Xuehua had never been there. Therefore, she decided to bring Lin Ruoxi to visit their graves. It could also be considered as a closer relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Guo Xuehua made up her mind and said to Mother Wang, who was chatting with Minjuan, "Yulan, I'm going to look for Ruoxi. If she's free, I'll go with her to sweep the tombs of her in-laws. I'll also go and buy the groceries for tomorrow's Double Ninth Festival. Even if Yang Cheng doesn't come back today, he'll be back tomorrow. At that time, it won't be appropriate if we don't have two big eaters."
Mother Wang thought to herself that Guo Xuehua was really thoughtful. She even thought of visiting graves on the Chongyang Festival. Although there was such a rule, in many areas in the south, people only visited on the Qingming Festival.
"Then why don't you give Miss a call first, in case she's busy or can't find her," Mother Wang reminded.
Guo Xuehua shook her head with a smile, "I'm afraid that Ruoxi is busy, so I won't call her. It's good if she's free, but if she's busy, let's not disturb her work. Otherwise, she'll come home in the middle of the night and won't sleep in the study. I'll just go and buy groceries. "
"You're really thoughtful," Mother Wang nodded with a smile. She also felt that it was a good idea.
…
The cafe downstairs of Yu Lei Tower was originally contracted to a western restaurant company to make it convenient for employees to have a gathering. However, not many people would come here at noon.
At a secluded table for two by the window, Lin Ruoxi and Mo Qianni each ordered exquisite cheesecake and drank coffee, enjoying the rare leisure time during work.
When Mo Qianni was almost done eating, Lin Ruoxi still hadn't eaten half of it.
Looking at Lin Ruoxi chewing slowly, Mo Qianni couldn't help but laugh, "It's said that the empress can't be compared to commoner girls like us. Even eating a cake can show how cultured she is."
Lin Ruoxi pursed her lips and looked at her strangely. After slowly swallowing the cake, she said, "Qianni, don't you think it's weird for you to say something like that?"
"Weird? What's weird about it? "Mo Qianni was puzzled.
Lin Ruoxi's gaze wandered, looking at the busy city outside the window and the pedestrians walking on the streets.
"Actually, I'm very curious. A girl like Qiangwei is different from ordinary girls. Her values and experiences since young made her willing to follow a man without a title or status, it's understandable.
But like you, like Yeonyeon, you clearly have the chance to choose a better life, why do you insist on putting yourself in such an awkward position?
Although I feel that it's cruel to say this, you guys definitely won't have the chance to get anything more. "I really can't figure out how you can joke about such a thing …" Lin Ruoxi said faintly.
Mo Qianni stopped smiling and looked at Lin Ruoxi silently for a while. She picked up her coffee cup and took a sip, then slowly put it down.
"Do you sympathize with me, pity me, or do you look down on me in your heart?" Mo Qianni asked with a smile.
Lin Ruoxi shook her head, "I don't look down on you, nor do I pity you. I don't want to quarrel with you. It's just that we've known each other for so many years, so I'm just talking about the doubts in my heart."
"In the end, you still blame us, blame Yang Cheng, don't you?"
"Don't tell me you don't have any thoughts? Although I really don't want to say that, since you also love the same man, don't tell me you don't have any thoughts?"
Mo Qianni blinked, "I seem to understand why you've been distracted at work these past two days. You're worried about Hsiao Chih-ching, and you're also worried that Yang Cheng will go out again and get involved with some other woman, right?"
"I didn't." Lin Ruoxi's gaze was a little evasive, "He can do whatever he wants, and I can't control him."
"You're lying. You clearly care a lot about it, and you're also very dissatisfied." Mo Qianni said.
Lin Ruoxi simply raised her head and said in a clear voice, "So what if it is? Don't tell me you don't mind? Just because you didn't marry him, you don't care how many women he needs to be satisfied? Do you really think that's a happy thing? "
The two of them looked at each other, and Mo Qianni's eyes gradually revealed a faint trace of sorrow.
"Lin Ruoxi, you've changed. I didn't expect you to have such pitiful thoughts." Mo Qianni sighed.
Lin Ruoxi's hand that was holding the spoon trembled a little. She tried her best to calm herself down, "I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation, what exactly do you mean …"
Mo Qianni took a deep breath, her eyes a little red, and forced a smile, "Do you know … I've always been envious of you. You're prettier than me, and your studies are better than mine. You were born in a wealthy family, and you have intelligence, talent, and leadership temperament. More importantly, you won't be influenced by the outside world and others.
Even if you're criticized by thousands of people, even if you're called a vampire, a cold-blooded businessman, you'll still do as you please and never be defeated. Even if your husband has a woman outside, you won't have the slightest bit of timidity or fear, because you always believe that you can control everything.
Do you know that that kind of Lin Ruoxi really makes me envious, and I can't help but feel sorry for her, because I know that I can't win against you … Not only me, Qiangwei, Anxin, none of us can win against you. Because of your charm, even I, a woman, find it hard to resist.
Do you think that I've always been your right-hand man in the company just because of the old CEO? Do you think I can repay a favor for the rest of my life? With my strength, it's not difficult for me to go to another company or even start my own business.
I stayed in Yu Lei because of you, not anyone else, but because of you! You made me willing to do it with you, even if I felt awkward because of a man!
Mo Qianni's voice wasn't loud, but every word was like a nail, ruthlessly piercing into Lin Ruoxi's heart. Bleeding, heartache!
Lin Ruoxi's eyes widened, and unknowingly, tears welled up in her eyes.
Mo Qianni's dainty face was flushed from her emotions. She paused for a while, then continued, "The current you, I don't recognize you anymore. The Lin Ruoxi who could suppress everyone without making a sound, doesn't seem to exist anymore. There's only a pitiful young woman who feels sorry for herself and lets her imagination run wild. "
As she spoke, Mo Qianni stood up, picked up the white autumn jacket from the chair, and began to put it on …
"Lin Ruoxi, I've only just realized that you're really stupid. You don't know the end of life, and you don't know the true meaning of life … You live in this world in a muddle! Only when you know the end of life, the true meaning of life, can you understand how to live and how to enjoy life.
Don't blame others for your unhappiness and uneasiness. The one who caused all of this isn't us, nor is it Yang Cheng, it's you!
Love isn't something that can be learned from books, and it's not something that can be easily understood by oneself, but something that needs to be understood with one's heart!
From my point of view, having a man who loves me, who sees me often, who has risked his life to search for medicinal herbs and concoct pills for me so that I can stay young forever and live longer is already an incomparably blissful thing.
The best way to repay him is to believe in him. When he looks at you, when he's by your side, let him understand that you're very happy. That's enough.
Lin Ruoxi, let me tell you, perhaps I used to feel pain over the title of husband and wife in the past, but now, it doesn't matter to me anymore. I know how to make myself happy, and I also know how to make Yang Cheng feel satisfied.
If your heart needs to be filled by someone else, if you need someone else to give you your dignity, then I can only say that one day, perhaps Yang Cheng will realize that choosing you as his only wife was the wrong decision! "
Once she finished speaking, Mo Qianni picked up her handbag, turned around, and walked out of the cafe.
Lin Ruoxi looked at the elegant white back view, but she was in a daze.
Looking down at the strawberry cheesecake on her plate again, Lin Ruoxi couldn't even muster the strength to take a small bite. Her heart felt like it was being bitten by countless reptiles, and it was filled with indescribable fear and uneasiness.
At this moment, a black figure suddenly appeared in the corner of her vision, standing beside the dining table.
