Chapter 222: 222 Our acquaintance is a kind of destiny_1

Even knowing that the individual intended to humiliate her, she couldn’t simply stand by idle and let herself be humiliated. If only she could have a do-over, she would choose to avoid these confrontations.

Jian Yufei couldn’t help but to laugh silently.

She had already been given a second chance at life, a chance to do better. Therefore, she couldn’t afford to cling onto fantasies of further do-overs.

“Surveillance footage doesn’t prove anything; I only trust my own heart, nothing else matters.” the man replied.

Jian Yufei looked at him, deeply moved. She hadn’t expected such trust from him. They were after all, merely friends, with very little shared history.

Yet, every encounter they had was unique. Was it because of these unique experiences that he had such trust in her?

“Do you believe in fate?” Xiao Lang suddenly asked her.

Jian Yufei nodded slowly. She believed in fate, and even the existence of deities. How else could she explain her own rebirth?

The man gazed at her with his deep, beautiful eyes and softly replied, “I think our meeting was a matter of fate.”

Jian Yufei’s eyes shimmered slightly; her heart was touched.

In her eyes, Xiao Lang was an incredible man, living in a world far above hers. He was to her like a prince to a commoner.

Yet, this seemingly unattainable man sincerely told her he believed their meeting was a matter of fate. He cherished her friendship, not once did he look down upon her.

While she felt overwhelmed by his kindness, she was also touched. She deeply valued his sincerity towards her, and she too, would treat this friendship with respect, matching his honesty with her own.

Jian Yufei gave him a knowing smile. She didn’t say anything, just picked up the cup of milk tea he had given her and slowly finished it.

Finishing the warm beverage in one gulp, she instantly felt the chill in her body dissipate.

She took off her jacket and handed it to him, getting up with a smile saying, “Put this on. We should no longer linger in this cold wind.”

Though the man got up with a smile, he didn’t put on the jacket. Instead, he casually slung it over his arm.

“Do you still have to work now?” he asked her.

She shook her head, casually tossed the paper cup into a nearby trash can and said, “I’ve embarrassed the hotel. Even if the manager doesn’t fire me, I have no face to stay. By the way, were you also here to attend Yan Yue’s birthday banquet?”

“No, I received a call saying someone was being bullied, and so I rushed over.” replied Xiao Lang with a lilting laugh. Jian Yufei, though, gleaned more than just a simple answer.

She was working here due to Xiao Lang’s recommendation. However, she never expected that he had also arranged for people in the hotel to look after her.

Without his intervention, she would have indeed been forced to kneel in humiliation today.

A warm surge filled Jian Yufei’s heart. She sincerely said, “Thank you.”

“It was me who recommended you to work here. Therefore, if you are mistreated, it would be my responsibility as well.” the man responded, further warming Jian Yufei’s heart.

This man was a genuinely good person, probably the kindest she had ever come across.

Perhaps she was a bit too trusting of him, but she had nothing to lose. There was nothing he could take advantage of, even if he had such intentions. Therefore, the kindness he showed her must have been genuine, just like a grandfather’s unconditional love for his granddaughter.
