Yun Yiyi pulled the car to the side after driving three blocks away. She managed to slow down the beating of her heart after taking a few deep breaths. She thought Gu Jingyan was really detestable! She did not even push him and Qiao Feilan to apologize despite their agreement, but he kept harassing her! What was even more preposterous was how he kept threatening her! Since she had gotten married to Fei Mo, he should abide by their agreement. It was really embarrassing for a man to go back on his words.
It was true she was very, very short on money. Although she could ask for Fei Mo's help, she did not want to ask for even a single cent from him. She suspected that Gu Jingyan knew this. That was why he was so bold and confident when he threatened her.
Determination flashed in her eyes; no matter how difficult it was, she would not ask for Fei Mo's help.
Soon after, she sighed when she recalled what Gu Jingyan had said about her mother, Qiao Xi. There was nothing else she could do now; she had done everything she could for her mother.
Yun Yiyi was lost in her thoughts as the night darkened and the street lights flickered on. When she returned to her senses, she hurriedly picked up her phone.
Fei Mo was still unaware that she had been fired. It was after work hours now. Would he send Ah Qing to pick her up from work? If Ah Qing did not see her after a long time, he would definitely go up to the office to ask for her, right? At that time, would he not find out that she had been fired?
Before she got married to Fei Mo, she had promised to work in his company's Public Relations Department. Now that she had been fired, her reputation had undoubtedly taken a blow. She felt embarrassed to face him.
The phone rang for just a brief moment before the call was connected. She was slightly surprised that Fei Mo answered the call so quickly.
"Pre..." She instantly swallowed the words 'President Fei' when she recalled he did not like her addressing him that way. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "Um... Did you ask Ah Qing to pick me up from work?"
"I did..." Fei Mo replied in a low and gentle voice.
"I'm not at the company. Can you tell Ah Qing to return to Wan Mei Villa first?"
"Where are you?"
"Uh..." Yun Yiyi said carefully, "I'm at the Cultural Square. Um... I might not return to the villa tonight..." She planned to go to Zhang Xue'er's house to discuss how she could sell her car. Moreover, she wanted to keep her documents in Zhang Xue'er's house. If she brought the documents back to Wan Mei Villa, she was afraid Fei Mo would find out about her situation.
"Where will you be staying the night?"
"Xue'er's house. You've seen her before. She's the girl I had drinks with at the spicy hotpot restaurant ."
"I'm still at the company." Fei Mo's voice was emotionless. He paused for a moment before he asked, "Where's Xue'er's house?"
Yun Yiyi did not hide Zhang Xue'er's house from Fei Mo. She knew he was asking because he was worried about her.
"Drive safe."
"Okay."
After Fei Mo disconnected the call, Yun Yiyi sighed in relief. She had been afraid that he would get angry when she told him she did not plan to return to Wan Mei Villa tonight. Based on his voice, it seemed like he was not unhappy.
After a while, she picked up her phone and dialed Zhang Xue'er's number.
It was time to continue dealing with her matters…
…
Meanwhile, in Fei Corporation.
Fei Mo looked at the phone in his hand with a complicated gaze. He wondered if she decided not to return to Wan Mei Villa tonight because she was too embarrassed to face him.
…
Yun Yiyi was, naturally, unaware of Fei Mo's thoughts. She had picked Zhang Xue'er up from work. At this moment, both of them were having dinner at a small restaurant they frequently frequented.
After placing their orders, Yun Yiyi recounted what had happened earlier to Zhang Xue'er.
"Gu Jingyan is really despicable!" Zhang Xue'er exclaimed indignantly. "As expected of a scumbag! Both of you are divorced, and he still insists on pestering you!"
Yun Yiyi said helplessly, "A scumbag is a scumbag, after all. He doesn't keep his words, and he's a b*stard! I can only proceed one step at a time for now..."
"Try to avoid him if you can," Zhang Xue'er said before asking, "Let's not talk about that scumbag. What are you drinking? Are you going to have white liquor again?"
"..." Yun Yiyi felt her head ache when she heard the words 'white liquor'. When she recalled how she had drunkenly gotten into bed with Fei Mo, her face turned red immediately. She said vehemently, "I'm not drinking anymore for the rest of my life!"
"Why?" Zhang Xue'er asked curiously when she noticed the change in Yun Yiyi's expression. "What happened?"
"Nothing." Yun Yiyi shook her head. "I promised a certain someone that I'd never drink again." She had broken her promise to Fei Mo and drank. When she got drunk, she even gave herself to him. It was too easy for accidents to happen when one was drunk. Therefore, she decided not to drink anymore. Moreover, it can also be considered as her keeping her promise to him.
"A certain someone?" Zhang Xue'er's eyes lit up. As though she could smell the gossip, she curiously asked, "Look at the bashful expression on your flushed face! That someone must be a man! Tell me, which man is so lucky to obtain Yun Yiyi's favor?"
"What do you mean by obtaining my favor? It's not like that..." Yun Yiyi protested weakly as her face burned even redder from embarrassment.
"If you don't like him, would you have promised him you won't drink anymore?"
"..."
"Be honest, Yiyi. Who's the man? Please don't let it be a scumbag like Gu Jingyan."
Yun Yiyi hurriedly spoke up in defense of Fei Mo, "He's not a scumbag! He's a good man!"
"Ha! I knew it's a man! Who is it? Do I know him?" Zhang Xue'er asked excitedly.
Yun Yiyi's face and neck flushed red as she bashfully replied, "You haven't met him, but you might have heard of him."
"Yiyi, I know all the men around you… Are you sure I haven't met him?"
"You really haven't met him before..."
"Then who is it? It's the first time I've seen you praising a man. You've never even praised your brother."
Yun Yiyi blushed. Since Xue'er was her best friend, both of them rarely kept secrets from each other. She hesitated for a while before she finally said, "Fei Mo!"
"Fei Mo?" Zhang Xue'er asked in confusion.
"The President of Fei Corporation," Yun Yiyi said.
Zhang Xue'er's eyes widened in shock and disbelief. "F-fei Mo? The ruthless President of the Fei Corporation?"
"Yes."
"Heavens!" Zhang Xue'er still had not recovered from the shock. "This man is someone who stands at the peak. You… you said he's a good man?"
"He's really a good man..." Yun Yiyi's tone softened when she recalled how considerate Fei Mo was to her.
"Then, what's your relationship with him? Are both of you in a relationship?" Zhang Xue'er asked curiously. In her eyes, Fei Mo was a legendary figure. How could she not feel curious after finding out that her best friend liked him?
"We're married."
Zhang Xue'er was thoroughly shocked. When she recovered, she cried out, "Married? You just divorced Gu Jingyan, and you're married again?"
"Yes."
"Since you've married Fei Mo, why are you trying so hard to sell your car? In Jiang City, is there anyone wealthier than your husband? In front of your husband, even the Gu family isn't worth mentioning!"
