"By the way, do you need my help with your aunt’s shop?" asked Gong Jiu.
"No need... I still have so spare cash that I can arrange for her," Sui Yi shook her head. The surgery had indebursed her greatly to Jiang Yunxiu and Yi Chilian, even though they eventually charged her a clear price of 1.5 million.
1.5 million.
For ordinary people, it might be a huge amount, but after involving nurous famous doctors like Jiang Yunxiu and expending such ntal power, 1.5 million was indeed a very reasonable price.
Earlier, Rum had curiously asked Jiang Yunxiu, "Don’t Chinese people value personal connections? You are good friends, and Mr. Yi is also her good friend, why not charge less?"
—Clearly, Rum did not consider Sui Yi as soone very rich and fond of splurging. In front of Sui Yi, Jiang Yunxiu had remarked,
"Rum, I think if Mr. Yi were to answer this question, he would say, why charge less? Am I familiar with her? And, does she lack money?"
Pause a mont, Jiang Yunxiu pinching her throat, added looking at Rum.
"And, he would ultimately add, of course, if Mr. Rum you are willing to work for free, then everything is negotiable...."
A full dose of Yi’s venomously subtle style.
Speaking of him, Gong Jiu also had so words to say.
Like when Sui Yi got off at the train station, she rolled down the window, leaned on it, "What do you think about Yi Chilian?"
This question ca out of nowhere.
Sui Yi glanced at her.
"The style of a gentleman"
"Won generally like this sort of deanor," Gong Jiu narrowed her eyes.
Sui Yi tilted her head, "Like you?"
"? I would rather go with that Uncle Rum than choose him... after all, people from his background are the most complicated,"
Sui Yi knew that Gong Jiu’s seemingly casual remark was loaded, complex? Gong Jiu appeared to co from a business family, with a background mingled with martial arts, to be called complex by her, Yi Chilian clearly had so official background.
Indeed, it was complicated.
Sui Yi then turned her face away and slipped her hands into her coat pockets, Gong Jiu saw her profile and a wistful smile curled at her lips.
"The style of a gentleman is enduring, like a lotus surpassing the snow, admired from afar, no need to examine closely, lest one feels the icy touch,"
Gong Jiu glared and spat out, "Can’t you speak plainly? Showing off your foreign language skills?" she skewed her mouth, "I can probably guess that you two eting was accidental, Jiang Yunxiu said you’ve co across each other many tis, if one were to be sentintal, it could be called fate, that guy is always aloof but he helped you multiple tis, there must be intent if that’s the case...."
She was sowhat unsure of her own thoughts, Sui Yi was not a typical 18-year-old girl; love might have co too early, yet it was not too late, excellence was inevitable, being a match with Yi Chilian was natural, only, it was not suitable.
But such matters, advice from others was clearly superfluous.
Especially advising Sui Yi.
"Fate?" Sui Yi lowered her eyes, pulled out a train ticket to glance at it, "One calls it fate only when there’s a desire in the heart, if there’s none, then it’s not fate"
Having said that, she gathered her coat and walked away without looking back.
The concept of fate is always difficult to articulate, Sui Yi felt no particular emotion about Yi Chilian’s slight difference in behavior towards her.
As long as one person is indifferent, then it’s not fate.
Just a coincidence.
————————
"Miss Sui? I didn’t expect to encounter you..... It really must be fate,"
On the train, as Lin Yun greeted Sui Yi from across with a face full of surprise, Sui Yi gently smiled.
"Yes, indeed"
After a few words of conversation, only then did Sui Yi learn that Lin Yun was going back to Nanxun to fetch so clothes, as her relatives were in the hospital in the Provincial City, and she was working there; now with autumn turning to winter, fetching clothes was normal.
Perhaps previously, Lin Yun hadn’t expected she would have to stay long in the Provincial City.
"So you’ll be staying in the Provincial City from now on?" Sui Yi asked softly.
"Yes... even though the cost of living is higher in the Provincial City, it currently seems more suitable," Lin Yun said smilingly.
Sui Yi’s gaze moved from Lin Yun’s face to the window, the scenery flashing by like a fleeting steed...
Lin Yun knew Sui Yi was not a talkative person, so she said no more.
But after a while.
"Miss Lin, do you plan to stay in the sales industry forever?"
"Hmm..? Uh, yes" Lin Yun was caught off guard for a mont, but after thinking about it, she nodded decisively.
"I’ve been doing this for so long, and now it’s the only thing I’m really good at" Lin Yun, with her limited education, having dropped out of school early to fend for herself, knew her shortcomings and sole strength better than anyone.
