Wen Xuehui could not help but laugh at Jiang Yao’s dismayed expression. “Zhang Xiqing no longer works here. The few days she was the manager was one of the worst days for the restaurant.”
She pushed Jiang Yao inside and continued, “She offended every single one of the staff working here. To which, they all sent in a resignation letter. In the end, they stayed and she left.”
“You do know a lot of things, don’t you?” Jiang Yao was pleased. It was just as expected with Zhang Xiqing.
They ordered their food after being seated. The restaurant was very busy at the moment, so it took a little while for their food to be served.
Jiang Yao looked at the restaurant and lamented the fact that in her short time here at Nanjiang City, the restaurant underwent three different managers. She did not know the man currently donning the manager’s uniform. As the best employee Riya Restaurant ever had, Manager Sun was now employed by her.
“Jiang Yao, do you know just how many things happened at the school while you were gone? Other than Zhang Xiqing losing her job, our school…”
Jiang Yao interjected, “Don’t tell me you want to talk about Li Ronghui? That you’ve gotten back together with him? And that he’s a changed man?”
Wen Xuehui was nursing her broken heart before the National Day holidays, hence Jiang Yao was afraid of hearing that her friend had decided to go back into the arms of Li Ronghui.
Or more accurately, while she was away, Li Ronghui might have sweet-talked Wen Xuehui into oblivion.
Before Jiang Yao’s rebirth, Wen Xuehui could not move on from the heartbreak.
He brought so much pain to her that Jiang Yao wished Wen Xuehui would have just died if they were back together.
“No! No!” Wen Xuehui shook her hands. “I wanted to say that he moved out of the on-campus dorms and started working part-time while doing his research. He got into a relationship with his classmate and apparently they will get engaged to each other after graduating. Supposedly Li Ronghu got his job through the woman’s family.”
“That’s him for you,” Jiang Yao remarked bluntly. “Are you done with him? In Li Ronghui’s eyes, women are meant to be used.”
Wen Xuehui gently nodded. “I’ve absolutely moved on from him. Still, it felt disgusting to hear my father praising his excellent grades. Tell me, Jiang Yao, how could I have fallen for such a disgusting person?”
She then laughed at herself, “Anyway, that’s enough, I don’t want to talk about him anymore. What about you? Was Jindo City a fun place?”
Jiang Yao could not say that she had fun since most of her time was spent in the hospital and the platoon with Lu Xingzhi.
They went back to school after lunch.
A little while after she arrived in her room, Chen Siyang walked in from the balcony and exclaimed, “You’re back, Jiang Yao! A lady and a little girl came asking for you just now. She said her name was Lu Yuqing, the sister of your husband.”
