Chapter 3: He Cheated On Her

“Where do you want to go?” the driver asked, good-tempered.

“Rose Restaurant,” Qi Mei said with determination. This was the place she saw that girl reply to her friend in the Weibo comments earlier. She knew that what she was doing now was very irrational, but if she didn’t go there and take a look personally, she wouldn’t be able to feel at ease tonight.

However, when she reached the entrance of the restaurant, she was a little confused. Was she going to barge into the restaurant and look for Yin Ziyuan table by table after coming all the way here?

“Miss, do you have an appointment?” the waiter at the door asked politely.

Her eyelashes fluttered as she told Yin Ziyuan’s phone number to the waiter.

After checking the reservation record, the waiter smiled and said, “It’s Table 9. The number means your love will last forever.”

At this moment, she no longer had any hope.

The restaurant was very quiet, and her gaze was fixed on a certain place. The dining table was covered with a white tablecloth, and there were exquisite crystal candlelights on it. The slender champagne glasses had long been poured with the golden liquid. Her boyfriend, Yin Ziyuan, was sitting there. Opposite him was a strange woman she had never seen before. There was a bouquet of roses on the chair beside the woman. It was exactly the same as what she had received.

So, this man really knew how to slack off. Two bouquets of roses from the same shop. Couldn’t he put in more effort with this?

When the woman whispered into Yin Ziyuan’s ear, a smile appeared on his face. Qi Mei had seen that expression countless times before. She thought that it was a doting expression that belonged only to her. It turned out that this expression was also copied, just like the bouquet of roses in her hand.

Qi Mei thought that she would be so angry that she would step forward to reason with him, but at this moment, she was terrifyingly rational. She didn’t want to put herself in such a sorry and embarrassing situation. How did this man lie to her without changing his expression? He said over the phone that he would make everyone envious of her, but he was now cheating on her.

Right now, Qi Mei no longer had a trace of nostalgia in her heart. She turned around and left the restaurant. When she walked downstairs, she threw the roses into the trash can.

…

“I thought that Yin Ziyuan was one of the few guys in the financial industry who were infatuated and loyal. There were so many scumbags in this industry, and I thought he was the exception. Now it seems that we are still too young!” Wu Xiangdai and Qi Mei had known each other since they were little. Even their parents were very familiar with each other. Since she was single, she planned to go home early. In the end, she received a call from Qi Mei and rushed here without stopping.

Qi Mei sat there and heard Wu Xiangdai scold Yin Ziyuan for half an hour.

Wu Xiangdai was so excited that she took a gulp of wine. “What a scumbag! He is too good at pretending! When he was chasing you back then, no one knew that he was such a bad person.”

In the beginning, Qi Mei did not have any special feelings for Yin Ziyuan and only treated him as an ordinary partner since they worked on the same project. Although they were from the same university, they were no different from strangers. However, Yin Ziyuan fell in love with Qi Mei at first glance. At first, Yin Ziyuan didn’t make it obvious. But when he realized that Qi Mei did not respond to it at all, he directly expressed his thoughts.

At that time, Qi Mei rejected him. She did not have any feelings for him. Moreover, life was so fickle these days, especially since Yin Ziyuan was in the finance industry and was so busy with work. Everyone thought that it was over. Who would be as patient as he was in school to pursue someone? But he really went after Qi Mei for two years! He was romantic and gentle.

One night a year ago, Qi Mei saw Yin Ziyuan waiting at the entrance of her company in the middle of the night, smoking to refresh himself. At that moment, she was moved and decided to give themselves a chance. It had only been a year, but this man had completely changed. Perhaps she never understood him.

Seeing Qi Mei drink in silence, Wu Xiangdai said angrily, “Why aren’t you angry at all? This bastard chased you for two years and you were together for just a year, but he now cheated on you. Aren’t you mad?”

Qi Mei put down the wine glass. “It was quite satisfying to hear you scold him. I’m too lazy to say anything else.”

Wu Xiangdai was a journalist. After graduation, she entered the financial media industry. However, Qi Mei did not expect Wu Xiangdai’s vocabulary of cursing to improve so up to date that she could not even come up with other new words.
