After setting everything up, he clicked on a photo and looked at it, as if he could never get enough. He didn't even realize how foolishly he was smiling while holding his phone.
"Did the young lady message you?" Zhou Hao asked.
"No," Yun Bujun immediately denied.
"Then what are you smiling about? And so foolishly? It must be the young lady," Zhou Hao knew him too well. Yun Bujun had never smiled like this in his life.
Only that beautiful and adorable girl could turn him into a fool.
"How are you so sure?" Yun Bujun found it puzzling. He was just looking at Jiang Mianmian's photos, how did Zhou Hao know?
"Because of your smile, Brother Yun. Work hard, and make sure to marry the young lady in the future, so you can smile like this every day," Zhou Hao said with deep emotion.
"..." The smile disappeared from Yun Bujun's face. He spoke of working hard, but how easy was it? Jiang Mianmian was born a winner, a princess from birth, worth tens of millions, casually spending tens of thousands. As for him, he worked his tail off to save money, not even enough for a day of her allowance.
She was the result of generations of effort, so why should he, in one generation, be able to catch up?
Yun Bujun wasn't lacking in self-confidence, he just knew too well what reality was like.
"I will definitely work hard. It's the only thing I can do right now," Yun Bujun's voice carried a hint of bitterness.
...
Jiang Mi and Mianmian were eating. Jiang Mi primarily helped Mianmian peel shells. Most of the seafood had shells, and she barely ate anything herself. Watching her daughter eat made her happier than if she had eaten herself.
Mianmian ate with gusto, completely forgetting that her father was going to "accidentally" meet them. She was talking to her mother while eating when she suddenly saw her father and was so startled that she choked, coughing violently.
Jiang Mi was startled by this and quickly got up to help her daughter breathe.
Seeing his daughter choke, Jiang Jingxiu also hurried over. "Mianmian, what's wrong? Why are you coughing?"
"You... cough cough cough... Dad, why are you here?" Jiang Mianmian asked, looking at him excitedly.
Jiang Mi also saw Jiang Jingxiu and her expression turned cold. However, seeing her daughter's excited reaction, even choking because of seeing him, she believed it was a coincidence. Her daughter had no prior knowledge.
"I'm here to eat. What else would I be doing here?" Jiang Jingxiu seized the opportunity to explain.
"Oh, I was just startled to see you suddenly, I almost choked to death." Mianmian quickly glanced at her mother. Indeed, her mother was displeased. She didn't know if she had done the right thing.
"Jiang Mi, are you also bringing your daughter to eat? Why don't we share a table?" Jiang Jingxiu suggested.
Jiang Mi ignored him and handed water to her daughter. Jiang Mianmian didn't dare to look at her mother's expression. She took the water and drank it quickly, feeling a little better.
"Young Master Jiang, aren't we here to eat? Who are these two ladies?" A woman walked over. The woman was tall, beautiful, looked about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, and carried herself with elegance.
Jiang Mi's brow immediately furrowed when she saw this woman. Mianmian also looked at her father and the woman with surprise. After a moment of daze, she asked, "Dad, who is this auntie?"
"Mianmian, this is my friend. You can just call her Auntie Li. Li Meng, this is my daughter, and this is my daughter's mother," Jiang Jingxiu introduced them.
