Chu Liyuan had just postponed a meeting to come over, so Chu Li had already called to ask when he would return.
âUncle, weâre fine, you can go back first!â Because Jian Dan was very close to Chu Liyuan, she heard what Chu Li said.
âWhere are you going? Iâll give you a ride!â
âReally, itâs no big deal; weâre not kids anymore. Just go back to the company, Uncle!â
âAlright, then!â
After the uncle left, the trio of Jian Dan walked back to New E Mediaâ¦
As soon as they entered Jian Danâs office, Yuanyuan rushed over, âWhatâs the situation with you guys, how come none of you are answering your phones? I was so worried!â
âHuh? You called us?â
All three of them took out their phones to check, and both Jian Dan and Qin Rou found they had missed a dozen calls each.
âSorry about that, the phones were on silent, so we didnât hear them!â Before making the record, all three of them had set their phones to silent mode.
âI wasnât on silent, but you didnât call me!â Mo Mo said, shaking her phone.
âHow was I supposed to know you were with them?â
âAh, well, thereâs nothing I can do about that. If it were me, I definitely would have heard it!â Mo Mo said retrospectively.
âWhatever, Yuanyuan didnât call you, so you can say whatever you want!â Jian Dan and Qin Rou spoke up at the same time.
âYouâre as scatterbrained as Jian, you know that?â Qin Rou continued.
âRou, thatâs not very nice! Why bring me into it when youâre talking about Mo Mo?â Jian Dan pouted unhappily.
âI was just using you as a metaphor, a metaphor!â
âHearing you say that doesnât make me feel any better, you know?â
âOh, donât mind those details!â Qin Rou waved her hand dismissively.
âLet me bring up something serious, then!â Mo Mo said, taking two gold-embossed wedding invitations out of her bag.
At the sight of the wedding invitations, Qin Rou and Yuanyuan had the same surprising expressions, even the words they spoke were identical, âWhoâs getting married?â
Jian Dan smiled at the corners of her mouth upon seeing their reactionsâ¦
âYou see, itâs not just me and Xia Mengjiao who react this way, everyone has the same reaction!â Jian Dan spread her hands as she spoke.
Mo Mo looked a bit crestfallen. âYou two are really strange! Why would it be my turn to send out wedding invitations for someone else? Have you ever seen anyoneâs wedding invitations distributed by others? They send them out themselves. That was Mo Moâs thought.
âYouâre getting married? With whom?â The two spoke at the same time, saying the same thing again.
âMo Mo, you see, thatâs the response of the crowd!â
Birds of a feather flock together, and those who become friends naturally react similarly.
Qin Rou, Yuanyuan, and she had reactions nearly identical to Xia Mengjiaoâs.
âOf course, itâs with Meng Ran. Didnât you all meet him at Jianâs wedding last time?â
âDidnât you and he just start dating recently?â
âWhen you meet the right person, is time even an issue?â Mo Mo said with a pout.
After hearing Mo Moâs words, Qin Rou and Yuanyuan instinctively glanced at Jian Dan, then shook their heads in unison, âNo!â
Jian Dan took a deep breath, watching the two of them. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she said nothingâisnât fact stronger than eloquence?
âUh, do you guys really think Mo Mo is just sending you the wedding invitations to invite you to the ceremony?â In this situation, Jian Dan wisely chose to change the subject.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhat else could it be?â The two turned their curious gaze towards Mo Mo.
Mo Moâs smile had become a bit sinister by now.
âRou, why do I feel like Mo Mo is setting a trap for us?â Yuanyuan shrank behind Qin Rou.
âI have a feeling weâre already in the trap!â Rather than offering protection, Qin Rou dashed cold water on Yuanyuanâs face with her reply.
âMo Mo, what kind of conspiracy do you have?â With Qin Rou speaking like that, what else could Yuanyuan say? She could only resign herself to fate!
But before resigning to fate, itâd at least be nice to clear up what exactly was going on, right?
