Sister Mei seemed to want to say something but stopped short.
Finally, she let out a sigh.
Where there were benefits, there were people who wanted to climb up, and disputes and unspoken rules were inevitable.
She looked at the innocence in Jiang Leyi’s eyes, which was very rare.
Sister Mei clenched her teeth and thought, no matter what, she had to preserve Jiang Leyi’s innocence and not let her be tainted by the vulgarity of the world.
There was a large park near the hotel, and beyond that was a commercial pedestrian street with a large shopping mall; the transportation network was well-developed, the population was relatively dense, and it was fairly lively.
This was also Jiang Leyi’s first time in Port City. She looked over the map repeatedly, and after some hesitation, she suggested, "Shall we stroll in the park? The mall is crowded, and it’s some distance from here. It would take half an hour by foot, and we have a dinner to attend later, plus filming starts tomorrow."
Actually, Jiang Nanshu didn’t really care where they went.
She nodded with a smile, "I’ll follow your lead."
In reality, she wanted to visit the mall.
Because it was the Zhou Family’s large mall.
But there was no point in going there; it wasn’t certain she would run into Zhou Yanbai.
So Jiang Nanshu let go of that wishful thinking.
Zhou Yanxu had only mentioned he came from Port City before, but he moved his focus to Beijing because of the better environment there and because he had a company in the city.
He said Port City never saw snow. The first time he saw her was on the most beautiful snowy day in Beijing.
He loved snow.
Jiang Nanshu looked at the streets covered in the leaves of plane trees.
Had the old Zhou Yanxu lived in this kind of environment?
In her original world, she had wanted to find an opportunity to return his ashes to Port City so that he could rest in his hometown. After everything had settled, she planned to settle down in Port City and feel the atmosphere of the city he had once lived in, as if to accompany him for the rest of her life.
But now, she had arrived.
Yet she felt none of that sentiment.
Jiang Nanshu didn’t know if it was because her oath had been made too long ago or if her original intentions had changed, but her obsession with Zhou Yanxu gradually faded because there were many other things in her life now besides Zhou Yanxu.
"Autumn in this city is so beautiful. The plane leaves are golden yellow," Jiang Nanshu couldn’t help but exclaim.
Jiang Leyi nodded, her handsome face smiling, "Yeah, if you like it, we can come back again because once we start shooting, we won’t have much time to play around here."
The two stood on the roadside for a while.
An argument broke out not far away.
They hadn’t gone far, only ten meters from the hotel.
It involved a middle-aged couple and a good-looking man.
They seemed to be confronting one another.
The next second, the man furiously pushed the middle-aged woman to the ground, and the middle-aged man hurried to help her.
With a cold look on his face, the man walked away and entered the hotel.
It sounded like the middle-aged man cursed something before he then attended to the middle-aged woman, supporting her as they left.
Jiang Leyi frowned, speaking indignantly, "How can someone be so reckless with violence? That auntie probably hurt her bones with that fall."
"Dressed up like a respectable person, but behaving like an animal!"
Jiang Nanshu’s lips were tightly pressed together, her hands clenched at her sides.
She was still thinking about how to meet Zhou Yanbai, and unexpectedly, he had appeared first.
And he had entered their hotel!
Jiang Nanshu’s eyes gradually deepened with thought. Who was he looking for?
"Let’s go ahead and hang out, we’re already late," Jiang Leyi said, checking the time—it was already four in the afternoon.
Jiang Nanshu withdrew her gaze and replied, "Alright."
She quietly took note of the car Zhou Yanbai was driving, arrogantly parked right in front of the hotel entrance, and nobody dared to address it.
"No, I want to sleep alone," Jiang Nanshu flatly rejected.
