Chapter 384: 384 Is it him?
“What tricks?”
Jian Jing leaned in closer to me,
“Do you think it’s possible that Jiang Jiaying drugged Ding Yinuo to make him forget his original feelings for you?”
I couldn’t help but want to laugh after hearing Jian Jing’s conjecture.
“You’re overthinking it. Don’t forget, Ding Yinuo is a doctor. He’s a professional in that area, at least much more so than us. How could he possibly be drugged without knowing?”
“Er, you do have a point, but this matter just doesn’t stand up to scrutiny. Forget it, let’s not think about it any further.”
“Indeed, Mr. Ding has such a poor attitude towards us now, and he doesn’t cherish the old affections, so it’s meaningless to fuss over that.”
Jian Jing sighed.
She, having been married before, seemed to have seen through the true nature of relationships long ago.
“You’d think, since you’ve already divorced, they’d be getting married soon, right?”
Jian Jing asked another question.
I glanced over at the opposite side.
The customer from earlier had already left, and Jiang Jiaying considerately brought a fruit platter to Ding Yinuo’s side.
“You’ve been busy for so long, have some fruit to moisten your throat.”
Ding Yinuo seemed to really enjoy the sensation she brought him.
He whispered something to her.
Jiang Jiaying actually blushed, smiling shyly with a complex look in her eyes as she glanced over at us.
Just then, a customer came to ask for a price, and Jian Jing and I got up, busy with entertaining the guest.
There weren’t many customers today, so we couldn’t let even one slip by.
While talking to that customer about a potential deal, I suddenly heard an unexpected noise. Jian Jing looked up and said to me,
“This is bad, our sign fell over, it hit the one next door.”
I went outside to see, and it turned out that our advertising sign, somehow knocked over by someone, had fallen on the neighboring booth, knocking down their sign and scattering pamphlets, sample garments, and some gifts all over the ground.
I was just about to go over to clean up when Ding Yinuo’s poised figure walked out.
When he looked at me, his eyes were filled with dissatisfaction…
I was just about to explain to him when Jiang Jiaying followed him out.
“Oh, Miss Song, what was the need for this, huh? If you don’t have customers, it’s because your company is not up to par…”
Jiang Jiaying stood with her arms folded, sounding rather sarcastic and petty.
I looked at her coldly, “What do you mean by that?”
“Well, your company isn’t strong, so you shouldn’t be next to us. Zhenyi Company is the strongest in A City. You intentionally placed yourself next to us, simply hoping to lure away some of our old customers. But as you can see, all your efforts were in vain, and you gained nothing. It’s understandable that you feel disgruntled, but you really didn’t need to come over here and target our sign.”
Seeing Jiang Jiaying’s sarcastic demeanor, it reminded me of how she used to mock and ridicule me with that tone back when we were in school.
Concerned that I’d be singled out, Jian Jing quickly came over to help,
“Miss Jiang, speak nicely, please. The advertising sign was blown over by the wind, and if yours was to be knocked down, it would be by its own doing—what does it have to do with me at all?”
Jian Jing took hold of my arm and started walking back,
“Forget about them! The venue has security patrols, we’ll just wait for the expo staff to handle it.”
“Clean this up before you leave!”
Ding Yinuo’s icy voice rang out.
I looked at him in astonishment; clearly, I hadn’t done it on purpose, and indeed, I hadn’t said I wouldn’t clean it up.
But his gaze really made me uncomfortable.
“Never mind, I’ll pick it up!”
I pulled away from Jian Jing’s grip, squatted down, straightened the booth, and started picking up the little things that had fallen to the ground.
One by one, I placed them neatly.
After I finished, I stood up and glanced at Ding Yinuo.
“I didn’t do it on purpose, so why are you looking at me with those eyes?”
Ding Yinuo’s face was cold,
“Your attitude is wrong!”
The chilly tone was somewhat irritating.
“What’s wrong with my attitude? I came to help you organize immediately after you said no, what more do you want?”
Jian Jing reminded me from the side,
“He’s probably saying that your attitude towards Jiang Jiaying is wrong!”
It was then I belatedly realized he was protecting Jiang Jiaying, and the feeling made me very uncomfortable.
He was now standing by Jiang Jiaying’s side, caring for her so attentively.
The two of them looked just like a couple.
Jiang Jiaying had a slight blush on her face, a look of shyness,
“Yinuo, thank you for standing up for me. With you, I feel very secure.”
I picked up everything from the floor, placed them on the table, and then pulled Jian Jing to leave.
Behind us, Jiang Jiaying’s light laughter followed,
“Yinuo, my parents are urging me. They say I’m not getting any younger and it’s the best time to marry. If we delay further, there might be difficulties with having children. What do you think about visiting my house tonight, meeting my parents, and discussing our wedding date? I also had a check-up a few days ago, my health is great, and I’m in a good condition to get pregnant!”
Jiang Jiaying seemed to realize I hadn’t gone far, so she stopped halfway through her sentence.
When I looked back, she was already walking into the inner office with her arm linked through Ding Yinuo’s.
Jian Jing shook her head and sighed,
“If Ding Yinuo truly marries this woman, the Ding family is probably doomed.”
“Let him have his way then.”
“Ayun, can you really let go of him?”
Jian Jing asked again.
I bowed my head, organizing the documents, which were all the orders I received today.
To my surprise, there was an order among them, and I wasn’t sure if the customer made a mistake, but they were requesting children’s clothing.
“Jian Yan, check if this is the order you took, are the customers mistaken?”
As everyone knows, Zhenyi Company currently specializes in ready-to-wear fashion and does not produce children’s clothing.
Moreover, this customer’s order was quite large.
Jian Jing picked up the order and looked closely,
“I remember now, it was me who took it. The customer mentioned they urgently needed clothes, something about donating to some place. They wanted good quality without specifying styles. I took the order in a hurry and assumed it was adults’ clothing without paying much attention, never thinking they wanted children’s clothing. What do we do now, given the large amount of the order?”
“Then contact them and see if you can persuade them to cancel the order…”
“Alright!”
Jian Jing hurriedly made a phone call.
I continued to sort through the documents, and after a moment, Jian Jing hung up the phone.
“How did it go?”
Jian Jing stared at me for a few seconds,
“It’s so strange, the customer’s voice sounded a bit like Gu Yuanzhou!”
It had been a long time since anyone mentioned that name. I froze for a few seconds, still not taking her words too seriously.
“What did he say?”
