Yan Qiongying's expression instantly sank. "Nothing to do with him? You're even carrying a child for him. How could you have nothing to do with him?"
"The baby's mine alone. I'm not carrying it for someone else! I have nothing to do with that man. Whether you believe me or not, it's up to you," said Zhuo Qianyun.
Yan Qiongying snapped. "You... I wanted to treat you to a meal out of kindness, but you said such a thing. What's the matter? Do you think you're superior because you're being shuttled around by a three-million-dollar car? But what have you gotten out of it? This store? How virtuous do you think you are? You're just an ex-convict!"
With that said, Yan Qiongying picked up her bag and left. Witnessing Yan Qiongying's angry departure, Mrs. Zhuo could not help asking, "What happened? Is your friend leaving just like that?"
"Maybe we just share different ideas," said Zhuo Qianyun.
Since they did not share the same views, it would be difficult to be friends with each other. They might as well leave it at that. Perhaps they could retain what little left of their good impressions for each other.
Yan Qiongying drove away. However, she saw another parked car not far away as she drove off.
That car... was the same car that picked up Zhuo Qianyun yesterday. The window of the backseat was rolled down, and the man in the backseat was looking in the direction of the store.
'That man is...'
Yan Qiongying's hand trembled, and the car almost swerved to the side.
The person in the car was Ye Wenming!
"It doesn't matter," said Zhuo Qianyun.
"By the way, I heard that you offended a big shot when I was in prison. Did they give you any trouble after you were released? Do you need help? I can't help much, but I know a lot of people. They might be able to offer help," Yan Qiongying said, looking concerned.
She had looked it up. Zhuo Qianyun had offended Ye Wenming back then. Ye Wenming testified against her and sent her to prison. However, Ye Wenming reversed the case for Zhuo Qianyun.
Now, Zhuo Qianyun ran a store, but Ye Wenming would often send someone to pick her up and always appeared near the store.
In Yan Qiongying's opinion, the two must be having a fling. However, the relationship was inappropriate, so Zhuo Qianyun would not speak much about it.
