"Young Miss?"
"Miss Jiayi?"
The chauffeur walked up to Lin Jiayi and greeted her respectfully a few times before Lin Jiayi snapped out of her daze.
She glanced at the chauffeur silently.
The chauffeur picked up a pair of shoes and placed them before Lin Jiayi. "Miss Jiayi, here are your shoes."
Lin Jiayi still didn't say a word. Instead, she stepped into the shoes and walked over to the car.
The chauffeur quickly followed behind her and opened the car door for her.
Lin Jiayi bent down and got into the car.
By the time the chauffeur got into the car, Lin Jiayi had already reverted back to the arrogant and domineering Young Miss of the Lin Family. It was as if the helpless and dazed look she had felt earlier was just a figment of her imagination.
After passing the intersection ahead, the road suddenly cleared up.
Soon, the car arrived at the entrance of the Lin Family Enterprise.
Upon seeing the car, the security guard immediately ran over and opened the door for her.
Lin Jiayi told the chauffeur, "You can return to the hotel first" before getting out of the car. Ignoring the security guard's greeting, she walked straight into the building.
…
Grandpa Lin's birthday banquet started early, but it didn't end early either.
After sending off the guests one after another, the banquet hall was empty except for a few relatives of the Lin Family. Lin Jiayi, who had been gone for more than two hours, still hadn't returned.
While Shi Yao was heading to the washroom, she called Lin Jiayi for the third time.
Just when she thought that the call would be the same as before and no one would pick up, it was picked up.
"Yaoyao?"
Hearing Lin Jiayi's voice, Shi Yao's heart finally calmed down. "Sis Jiayi, Grandpa Lin's birthday banquet is almost over. Are you still coming over?"
"Oh, I nearly forgot … Yaoyao, I'm really sorry, but something came up at the last minute, so I won't be able to make it. I'll send the chocolates to your school tomorrow if I'm free. If not, I'll get my secretary to send them over."
Lin Jiayi's voice was as gentle as ever.
But for some reason, Shi Yao felt that something was amiss. She frowned and replied, "It's fine, Sis Jiayi."
A moment later, she couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Sis Jiayi? Are you … alright? "
"I'm fine. Of course I'm fine. What could possibly happen to me? I'm busy earning money … "Lin Jiayi chuckled softly on the phone.
So she had been thinking too much …
"Alright then. Sis Jiayi, I won't disturb you any longer. You should get back to what you were doing."
"Okay, Yaoyao my little darling. Muah, goodbye."
Shi Yao replied with a soft "Goodbye" before hanging up the call.
She put away her phone, tidied herself up, and walked out of the bathroom.
She stood in front of the basin and had just turned on the tap when the bathroom door that she had just closed opened again.
Hearing the commotion, Shi Yao instinctively raised her head to look at the entrance of the washroom through the mirror.
It was Liang Mumu …
Her complexion didn't look good. Perhaps because she had been crying, the meticulous makeup on her face had been ruined. The mascara around her eyes was dyed black.
She saw her too, looked at her for a moment, and then, as if she were a stranger, walked up to her and turned on the faucet next to hers.
Shi Yao also felt that there was nothing much for her to say to Liang Mumu, so she calmly washed her hands before turning around to leave.
But barely after taking a few steps, Liang Mumu suddenly called out to her, "Shi Yao."
