Chapter 1191: The Calculated Farewell Dinner
To take care of Ji Lin, they chose a place not far from ’Yiren Jiao.’
Luo Qiao, seeking some peace and quiet, opted for a private room. Unnoticed by her, somebody had just stepped out from the adjacent private room—it was Zhai Yuyuan, who had been about to leave but quickly retreated back into the room upon seeing Luo Qiao.
After Luo Qiao entered the neighboring room, Zhai Yuyuan then opened the door and stepped out. The restaurant belonged to a distant relative of hers, and today she had arranged to discuss the matters of her divorce with Ji Wei.
A few steps out the door, something suddenly came to her mind. She spoke a few words to the receptionist, then hastily exited the restaurant.
By the time Ji Wei arrived, he was escorted to the private room and waited for almost fifteen minutes before Zhai Yuyuan showed up. They ordered food and then brought up the subject of divorce. Ji Wei had originally not wanted to come, but he conceded out of respect for the longstanding friendship between their two families.
According to Zhai Yuyuan, this was a parting meal to say goodbye.
Since they were going to divorce, they casually exchanged a few words after the dishes arrived. Yet, Zhai Yuyuan left again mid-meal for quite a while.
When she returned, she served Ji Wei a small bowl of sweet fermented rice soup with rice balls: "I remember you like this. The kitchen had some, so I brought a bowl back for you."
