Chapter 320: Chapter 320: Someone is Ruthless After leaving the hospital, Lin Zhiyi took a taxi to the Sang Group branch office building.
She checked the time; Sang Li said he had a meeting in the afternoon that would last about two hours.
The timing was perfect, but she waited for about five minutes before sending him a message.
"Meeting over?"
"About to wrap up, whatâs up?" Sang Li replied.
"Came to pick up my boyfriend after work."
After sending the message, Lin Zhiyi also took a photo of herself with the building and sent it to Sang Li.
Sang Li replied instantly, "Coming right away."
Seeing the message, Lin Zhiyi smiled faintly and looked up at the beautiful sunset.
Soon after, Sang Li exited the building.
"Why didnât you come in and wait?" He reached out to feel the warmth of Lin Zhiyiâs hand.
Lin Zhiyi was about to respond when she saw quite a few people walking out of the building; she instinctively pulled her hand back.
This was also the reason she didnât wait inside; there would definitely be people asking who she was and who she was looking for.
She didnât know how to answer.
Sang Li noticed her hesitation and took her hand again, nodding and smiling at the other people.
"My girlfriend."
"Mr. Sang, turns out you can be quite the romantic too? Then we wonât disturb you guys."
They said half-jokingly as they waved goodbye.
Lin Zhiyi, feeling a bit embarrassed, tugged at Sang Liâs arm.
"You didnât have to do that."
"Itâs nothing to be ashamed of," Sang Li countered.
Lin Zhiyi paused, feeling immensely grateful in her heart.
Changing the topic, Sang Li asked, "How was the follow-up today?"
"Itâs okay, just need to recover slowly," Lin Zhiyi replied lightly, not wanting others to worry about her.
"Thatâs good, where would you like to go next?"
Lin Zhiyi took out her phone: "I booked movie tickets."
Sang Li glanced at the movie title: "Are you sure about this one?"
"Sci-fi film, itâs said to be particularly suitable for couples online, and I made sure to check the reviews," Lin Zhiyi affirmed.
Sang Li nodded thoughtfully: "A sci-fi film for couples, interesting."
"Letâs go, letâs eat first."
Lin Zhiyi took Sang Li and got into the car.
After dinner, with half an hour left before the movie, they decided to stroll around the shopping mall below the cinema.
Lin Zhiyi purposely bought two cups of new milk tea to drink while watching the movie.
Seeing her serious comparison, Sang Li laughed: "Miss Lin, you... never dated before?"
Lin Zhiyi pursed her lips, having her thoughts guessed: "Is it that strange?"
"It isnât?" Sang Li questioned skeptically, "So all those suitors of yours were that useless?"
Everyone is an adult, and having been in relationships before isnât something to be worried about.
Lin Zhiyi is very beautiful and has an easy-going personality, so she must have had many suitors.
Lin Zhiyi tilted her head: "I donât have suitors."
Sang Li was somewhat surprised, then suddenly thought of something and chuckled.
Someone sure is ruthless.
Seeing him laugh, Lin Zhiyi asked, "Is it that funny? Actually, during junior and senior high school, I had quite a few people chasing after me, and each Christmas I could receive dozens of apples. I re-gifted them, but when they didnât take them back, I could sell them for a good amount of money."
"Sell?"
"Other schools celebrated Christmas too, you know. I set up a stall at the entrance of other schools; an apple with a gift box could be sold for double the price," Lin Zhiyi explained seriously.
"..."
Sang Li clenched his fist to his lips, trying to restrain his laughter.
Lin Zhiyi continued: "Once I was in college, it seemed like no guys were chasing after me anymore, probably because everyone had matured, and there were more considerations when it came to love."
"Maybe," Sang Li replied, without saying much, just gazing at Lin Zhiyi with a softer look in his eyes.
If it werenât for those troublesome matters, Lin Zhiyi would actually be a very simple and innocent person.
Lin Zhiyi glanced at the time: "Itâs about time, letâs go upstairs."
"Mhm."
The two turned around and walked toward the escalator.
They had just taken a few steps when a familiar voice sounded from behind.
"Bro."
"Mr. Sang."
Lin Zhiyi did not expect to encounter Sang Ran and Ye Feifei here.
Sang Ranâs complexion had improved a lot, and she greeted Lin Zhiyi with the same warmth as before.
But Lin Zhiyi felt a bit awkward, smiled faintly, and looked away.
She just met Ye Feifeiâs disdainful gaze.
Not willing to deal with it, she turned her head to look at Sang Li by her side.
Sang Li frowned and said, "Youâve only just recovered; how come youâre out and about?"
"Itâs all because of the wedding," Sang Ranâs eyes were full of happiness when she mentioned the wedding, "The planning company said we needed to decide on the flowers for the venue decoration. Third Young Master wouldnât know about these things, so he let me choose by myself. Feifei and I spent the whole afternoon matching them."
"Exactly." Ye Feifei sneaked a glance at Lin Zhiyi and continued, "Third Young Master would give Xiao Ran all the flowers in the world if he could; not everyone is comparable to that."
Sang Ranâs face turned red: "Itâs not that exaggerated. Itâs just that the flowers I like are not in season, so they said theyâd need to be flown in, which is a bit of a hassle."
"What hassle? Third Young Master is doing it all to make you happy, right? Isnât that so, Zhiyi?" Ye Feifei looked at Lin Zhiyi with a mock smile.
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi clenched the milk tea bag in her hand, not sure how to respond.
Sang Li interjected, "Xiao Ran, you should get back early. Zhiyi and I have a movie starting soon."
"Watching a movie! You guys..."
Ye Feifeiâs tone was harsh, but she was cut off by Sang Ran before she could finish.
"Zhiyi, the two of you are really romantic, so we wonât bother you," Sang Ran said.
After speaking, Sang Ran, feeling somewhat reluctant, led Ye Feifei away.
Lin Zhiyi and Sang Li exchanged a smile, then turned to get on the escalator.
Not far off.
Ye Feifei, fuming, stomped her high heels with force.
"Why should Mr. Sang accompany her to the movies?"
"Feifei, Zhiyi is my brotherâs girlfriend, and besides, my brother plans to take her abroad..."
"Abroad!" Ye Feifei ground her teeth, her eyes dark and gloomy.
...
As the movie ticket check approached, Sang Liâs phone rang.
It was a call from Sang Ran.
Worried about her health, Sang Li immediately answered the call.
"Xiao Ran, whatâs up? What? Iâll come over right away."
Hearing this, Lin Zhiyi knew something had happened. She stopped queuing for the ticket check and stood aside with Sang Li.
"What happened?"
"Ye Feifeiâs high heel broke, and she dragged Xiao Ran down the stairs with her. I need to go check on Xiao Ran," Sang Li said, apologetically looking at Lin Zhiyi.
Lin Zhiyi immediately offered, "Do you need me to come with you?"
"No need, Ye Feifei speaks in a weird tone, donât let it affect your mood. You go ahead inside, Iâll come find you once Iâm sure Xiao Ran is okay."
Lin Zhiyi indeed didnât want to see Ye Feifeiâs face, so she nodded in agreement.
"Then Iâll give you the movie ticket, and you hurry over," she said.
"Mhm."
Sang Li hurried off to find Sang Ran.
Lin Zhiyi was the last one to enter the theater after checking her ticket.
The movie had started, and Sang Li hadnât come back, nor had he replied to her messages.
Looks like heâs not coming back.
Lin Zhiyi helplessly looked at the empty seat to her left, placing the milk tea into the cup holders on both sides, drinking from both cups alone.

That gory scene almost made her spit out her milk tea.
She looked down at her phone light to check the movie ticket; it was correct, a sci-fi film.
She was so engrossed in the movie that she didnât notice someone suddenly sitting down in the empty seat to her right.
