Lin Shiyi hadn't seen Qiao Anhao for a few months. Actually, she hadn't known Qiao Anhao for as long as she hadn't seen her, but she still remembered Qiao Anhao deeply.
She had been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and had fought with so many female celebrities. Even though she couldn't say that she had won every battle, she had won every battle. However, in the battle with Qiao Anhao, she had lost miserably each time. In the end, her reputation was in shambles. Even now, when there was nothing to do on Weibo, there would still be people scolding her.
If she wasn't the first female lead, she would at least be the second female lead. But now, she couldn't even get any scenes with lines. As a result, her manager had to start promoting newcomers, and she had fallen to the point of being on the periphery. She had to find ways to rely on the rich to satisfy her extravagant lifestyle. Yet, the reason why she ended up like this was all because of Qiao Anhao.
In the past few months, whenever Lin Shiyi heard or saw any news about Qiao Anhao, she would pay special attention to it. Then, she would be slapped in the face, because the news about her always made her feel depressed. If it wasn't for the female lead in some new drama, then it was for some luxury brand endorsement. There was even one time when she was playing cards with a forty year old man, and she heard them say that Qiao Anhao was the wife of the successor of Xu Enterprise.
At that time, Lin Shiyi deeply understood what it meant to compare oneself to others.
In the past few months, even in her dreams, she wanted to find a weakness in Qiao Anhao. Perhaps the heavens were touched by her thoughts, and gave her a chance.
Lu Jinnian asked his assistant to go home, and he personally drove her to dinner.
During the meeting, he seemed to be listening attentively to everyone's comments, but in reality, his mind was distracted. He was thinking about where to bring Qiao Anhao for dinner. In the end, he chose "Peppermint Garden". During the meeting, he even sent a text to book a table.
"Peppermint Garden" was an open-air restaurant, built in an antique garden.
The table Lu Jinnian had booked was close to the lakeside, with weeping willows and sparkling waves. The scenery was pleasing to the eye. Plus, they were eating with the person they liked, so the two of them were in a good mood.
Qiao Anhao had been to "Mint Garden" a few times, and there were a few dishes that she liked, so when the waiter handed her the menu, Lu Jinnian signaled for her to order. She generously ordered two dishes that she liked.
"Peppermint Garden" served the dishes quickly. Lu Jinnian had finished his meeting at half past six, so by the time they arrived, it was already eight. She was indeed hungry, so the moment the dishes were served, she picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
Just as he picked up his chopsticks, he received a call about work. Qiao Anhao didn't disturb him and continued to eat quietly.
Lu Jinnian ordered a portion of sweet and sour prawns. Qiao Anhao really liked it. Initially, she used chopsticks to nibble on it, but it was a little strenuous, so she decided to use her hands instead. The sweet and sour sauce stuck to her hands, which was a little uncomfortable, but since her hands were stained, she ate to her heart's content. When she saw that there were only seven to eight prawns left on the plate, she realized that Lu Jinnian hadn't eaten a single one.
