Chapter 5: Clinging Just for His Money?!
Ji Niandong disregarded the serving cart in her hand and quickly walked towards the corner.
Shen Congjun had just finished his glass of red wine and was about to set the glass down when he caught sight of the newcomer out of the corner of his eye. He abruptly turned to look, and saw a woman in a white shirt and black vest standing before him, her hair sleekly tied up without a single strand out of place. Despite the server's attire, she exuded a clean and comfortable aura.
"Shen Congjun, long time no see!" Ji Niandong's smile carried a hint of coldness.
Not only did he not take care of her after she saw the doctor for her illness, but he also avoided her for a month and three and a half days, until he announced he'd found someone else to please him. It was indeed a long time!
Shen Congjun's brow furrowed tightly, his tone full of impatience and even disdain, "How did you manage to sneak in here?"
Ji Niandong looked down at her perfect disguise, even her work badge was an identical replica, and replied calmly, "I'm somewhat of an actress. If I want to get in here, I possess the basic clothing requirements and etiquette. There are many people here, let's go outside and talk!"
No complex emotions were visible on her face. Shen Congjun suddenly felt that she seemed different today, but couldn't pinpoint exactly what was different. "I have nothing to discuss with you! Today is very important to me, you better leave quickly!"
"Since today is important to you, shouldn't you step out early to finish talking with me? Or do you not mind the crowd here and prefer to talk directly?" She stared at him steadily, with a tone full of threatening intent.
Having known her for twenty-four years, and been together for five, only now did Shen Congjun realize that the woman who had always been gentle and mild-mannered was so stubborn and cold to the point of exuding chilliness.
