Regardless of Zhang Zhiling's calculations and plans, Yao Yiyi still went to work as usual and gradually became the backbone of the design department, even bringing in a newly recruited intern.
The intern was optimistic. Seeing that she was friendly and patient, he was happy to ask her questions.
As soon as she guided the intern step by step, she received a text message from Yao Ting.
She opened it and saw that Yao Ting had made an appointment with her to have dinner together in the evening, just the two of them.
She thought for a while, agreed, and asked Yao Ting if something had happened. However, Yao Ting sent her a message and said she was fine. She just felt that the two of them had not eaten together for a long time, so they made an appointment.
In the evening, Yao Yiyi called Ou Qingheng and told him that she was going to have dinner with Yao Ting and asked him not to pick her up.
Gong Lin sent the person to the place agreed with Yao Ting.
Yao Yiyi went in and Yao Ting was already sitting inside.
Yao Yiyi looked at Yao Ting carefully. They had not seen each other for several days. At this glance, she realized that Yao Ting had obviously lost some weight, and there was almost no flesh on her cheeks.
Yao Yiyi walked over, sat down, and said bluntly: "Tingting, is the Li family short of your food and clothing?"
Yao Ting didn't get her point for a moment and said, "No, why do you say that?"
"If not, why have you lost weight again? You were still a little voluptuous before you got married. It has only been less than a year since you got married. You look like you have been through a famine. People who don't know better think that You are a beggar." Yao Yiyi said with obvious dissatisfaction.
After hearing this, Yao Ting couldn't help but stiffen her face. She didn't answer Yao Yiyi's question immediately, but called the waiter to order.
After ordering, Yao Ting said: "It would be nice to be thinner, it looks good."
Yao Yiyi looked at her and said sharply: "Tingting, tell me honestly, did Mrs. Li deliberately embarrass you again? If Haoran is really unable to protect you, I will consider your marriage to him. There is no need to continue walking.”
Yao Ting shook her head, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, and said: "It's nothing, it's just that I haven't had much appetite these days, and I haven't been able to eat. In addition, his mother took advantage of everyone's absence to provoke me, so I I have even less appetite, and this is what it’s like.”
Yao Yiyi frowned.
"Tingting, did something happen at home?" she asked.
Yao Ting put the cup away, sighed lowly, and said: "It's nothing, it's just that Zhang Jiaqi keeps showing up at Li's house these days, and Mrs. Li is full of praises for her. I feel strange when I hear that." uncomfortable."
Yao Yiyi felt that Mrs. Li was really bullying people too much.
"Let's not talk about her anymore. I just want to have a good meal with you today." Yao Ting shrugged and changed the subject pretending to be relaxed.
Yao Yiyi nodded.
The two finished the meal quietly and left the restaurant. Yao Ting raised her arms and hugged Yao Yiyi, then let go and said: "My dear, I am strong, don't worry about me."
Yao Yiyi looked at her and said, "If you have anything that worries you, just tell me. Don't keep it in your heart."
"I know. You are my only friend. If I didn't tell you, I wouldn't know who to tell." Yao Ting smiled.
Yao Yiyi looked at her expression and saw that there was really nothing wrong with her, so he didn't say any comforting words to her.
After seeing Yao Ting off, Yao Yiyi also got into Gong Lin's car.
"Gong Lin, drive back."
"Yes, young lady."
Yao Yiyi returned home, played with An An for a while, and asked Ou Qingheng to take him to take a bath. Instead, she went to the study.
She called Yao Ting, and the call was quickly answered.
"Are you home?" Yao Yiyi asked.
"Just arrived, just took a walk on the street."
"It's good to be here. I'm going to take a shower first, and you should go back and have a good rest."
"Okay, let's come out and get together another day."
After hanging up the phone, Yao Ting parked the car and entered the hall. She saw Li Haoran drinking tea with Mrs. Li and Zhang Jiaqi. Her eyes couldn't help but flash.
Li Haoran, who was sitting across the sofa, was the first to notice her coming in. He immediately put down his cup, stood up and came over, held her hand and said gently: "Are you tired?"
The discomfort in Yao Ting's heart was dissipated because of Li Haoran's actions.
She shook her head, and then walked over with Li Haoran.
"Ms. Zhang, you are so leisurely. You are still here so late." Yao Ting looked at Zhang Jiaqi and said without emotion.
Zhang Jiaqi took a sip of tea and said: "I'm no busier than you. Just now everyone was waiting for you to have dinner, but you were nowhere to be seen. Except for Haoran and me, the rest of the people at the table were elders. It's so hard for so many elders to wait." Look, you are very embarrassed, of course, you are the daughter-in-law of the Li family, and I am just a child of my old family at best, so I can't say anything to you from my standpoint."
Yao Ting glanced at Li Haoran, who hugged her waist and explained: "Don't take it to heart, I have already explained it to grandpa and the others. I said that you and your friends have an appointment to go out to eat, and grandpa also expressed his understanding."
Yao Ting nodded, but she knew to some extent that Mrs. Li might make a fuss about this matter.
Zhang Jiaqi curled her lips and said, "Haoran, you dote on your wife too much."
Mrs. Li glanced at Yao Ting, sneered, and said nothing more.
Li Haoran put his arm around Yao Ting's waist and said, "Mom, I'm taking Tingting up to rest first. There will be a press conference for a new movie tomorrow. Tingting is the screenwriter of this movie, and she will also attend."
Mrs. Li nodded without being too harsh.
Li Haoran forcibly took Yao Ting upstairs. Zhang Jiaqi watched their backs going upstairs until they entered the bedroom.
Mrs. Li took her hand, patted the back of her hand gently and said, "Jia Qi, tell your aunt honestly, do you still love Haoran?"
A hint of blush flashed across Zhang Jiaqi's face, and she said bluntly: "Aunt, I have loved Haoran for so many years. If it was really so easy to forget, I wouldn't be here now. It's a pity that he married someone else, and there is nothing in his eyes or heart. There is no me."
Mrs. Li smiled and said: "As long as you love Haoran, aunt will help you. You have also seen that Yao Ting, under the protection of Haoran, does not take my mother-in-law seriously at all. She and I are basically the same. No, if she stays in the Li family for one day, my life span will be shortened by one day. In order for me to live a few more years, I can't let her continue to be my daughter-in-law."
A trace of pride flashed in Zhang Jiaqi's eyes, but she looked at Mrs. Li pretending to be puzzled and said, "Auntie, how can you help me? Haoran loves Yao Ting deeply, and even if they misunderstand, he will not Maybe you’ll fall in love with me.”
Mrs. Li's eyes were full of calculations, and she said: "Even if I don't love him for the time being, when you have his child, I will let him marry you out of responsibility. From the beginning to the end, I hope that you can be my daughter-in-law. "
"Auntie, have you got an idea?" Zhang Jiaqi held the cup tightly, suppressing the nervousness of anticipation in her heart, and asked pretending to be calm.
Mrs. Li whispered something into her ear.
After hearing this, Zhang Jiaqi's pupils couldn't help but widen, and then slowly narrowed.
She said with a little nervousness: "Auntie, if we scheme against Haoran and let him have a relationship with me, when Haoran knows the truth, will he be angry with both of us?"
"Just don't let him know. Do you know and I know that no other person knows about this? As long as you are confident enough, I don't believe that Yao Ting will have the shame to continue to stay in the Li family." Mrs. Li narrowed her eyes. He narrowed his eyes and said fiercely.
She really hated Yao Ting, so she did not hesitate to plot against her son and force them to divorce. In her opinion, Li Haoran's happy marriage was not as good as what she liked about Yao Ting.
"Aunt, I'm afraid that doing this will make Haoran angry with you as a mother. This is the last thing I want to see." Zhang Jiaqi pretended to be knowledgeable and said: "Aunt, should we think of another way?"
Mrs. Li smiled and said: "Jiaqi, you are a good child. Don't worry. I understand my son. I have done so much just to find him a woman who can help him the most. You are the one I like the most." .”
Zhang Jiaqi lowered her head, hiding the excitement in her eyes, and raised the corners of her lips, saying, "It's all up to my aunt."
Mrs. Li smiled even happier.
"Good boy, when you become my daughter-in-law, we can go shopping together in the future, and occasionally play mahjong with the elders of the family." Mrs. Li said, "You are also from a wealthy family, so you can best integrate into the life of the Li family. Yes, my husband and I are very optimistic about you."
Zhang Jiaqi nodded, her well-behaved look endearing her to Mrs. Li.
