Chapter 13 See Lin Jinyao Again

The atmosphere of this meal was very silent. Time passed bit by bit, and the atmosphere gradually solidified. Seeing that they had almost finished eating, Su Mo got up and went to the bathroom. If she stayed any longer, she was afraid that she would suffocate to death, but she did not notice the deep meaning in the eyes behind her. As soon as Su Mo left, Lan Fengchen's phone rang. He looked at the screen. He was obviously surprised to receive a call from the other party at this time. As soon as he picked up the call, he heard the other party's voice, which seemed to have a hint of banter. "I heard that you were on a blind date?" Lan Fengchen took his phone away and looked at the screen. He obviously suspected that he had heard wrong. He looked outside and said, "Pigs would fly today! Why is Miss Lu concerned about my private affairs?" The other party was a little surprised, "You're still in the mood to joke around at this time? Looks like you're very satisfied with the date this time?" Thinking of Su Mo's confused and awkward appearance, Lan Fengchen couldn't help but laugh. He said noncommittally, "Not bad. An interesting girl." The other party obviously did not expect him to say that. After a moment of silence, he asked him again, "Brother, you can't be serious, right? When did you start to like this kind of girl?" "Eh? Why do I feel that there is something hidden in your words?" After saying it, Lan Fengchen thought to himself, "And from what he said, it must be that he knew Su Mo, or did he see me?" Lan Fengchen's slender eyes swept around, but he did not see anyone. It could be that the other party had heard something from Lu Shaoqi. At this time, there weren't too many people in the restaurant, but the gazes that looked over from time to time made him frown. Young Master Lan leaned on the sofa and said, "Don't tell me that you've taken a fancy to her. We're brothers. If you really like her, I won't fight with you as long as you tell me." "Get lost!" Young Master Lu's face was streaked with black lines. "I haven't even seen that woman before. I don't like to play romance in the online two-dimensional space." Lan Fengchen lit a cigarette, "Then there's no more reason for you to stop me. You have to know that this person was introduced to me by your crazy girl. I have to give her face." "Tsk tsk, if you have the guts, why don't you try calling her crazy girl in front of her?" Lan Fengchen pursed his lips and stopped talking. Lu Shaoqing said, "Alright, I won't talk nonsense with you. There are some things that you don't know. It's just a reminder from a brother. The person in front of you is already taken. Moreover, he has some influence. You can just deal with her casually. Don't really fall in love with her!" Su Mo washed her face with cold water to calm herself down. She had just come back and caused such big trouble. Now that her work and house had not been settled, it was not the time to talk about love. Since she had no intention in her heart, she felt it was better to make it clear to him earlier so as not to disappoint him. She thought to herself, "It is a pity that I will let Lu Shaoqi down, and with her fiery temper, I might have to spend a lot of time and effort to comfort her later." At the thought of Lu Shaoqi's personality, Su Mo had a headache. If Lu Shaoqi knew that Su Mo was so uncooperative, she would definitely go berserk on the spot! When she came out of the bathroom, because she was thinking about something, she didn't pay attention to it when she walked and was almost knocked down by someone at the turn. "Sorry, sorry, I didn't notice when I was walking. Are you okay?" Because of her own carelessness during walking, Su Mo apologized immediately. The other party was hit for no reason, and her face was a little unhappy, but people were coming and going here, so it was not good to flare up, so she said, "Forget it. Be careful when you walk next time!" After saying that, she walked past Su Mo to leave, but she subconsciously looked up at her. It was this glance that made her stop. Coincidentally, Su Mo also looked up at her. Their eyes met. One dodged the other party's gaze, while the other was surprised. "Eh? Aren't you Meng Xiaoyun?" Su Mo greeted her in surprise, "It's been a long time since we last met. Do you still remember me? I'm Su Mo!" Unexpectedly, when Meng Xiaoyun saw her, she acted as if she had seen a ghost. She pushed her hands away and said awkwardly, "Sorry, you mistook me for someone else." Su Mo still wanted to ask more questions, but Meng Xiaoyun had already left quickly. Although Su Mo had been away for many years, she was confident that she would not mistake her former friend. However, she was not a stubborn person. Since the other party pretended not to know her, she did not want to stick her hot face to a cold butt. Just as Su Mo was about to leave, she kicked something under her feet. She looked down and saw that it was a brooch. It should have fallen when she had bumped into Meng Xiaoyun just now, so she picked it up. When she turned back, she could no longer see Meng Xiaoyun. After looking around, she didn't know whether she should look for her or not, but judging from the meaning of the other party just now, looking for her would be a wasted effort. Su Mo thought that she might as well hand the thing over to the waiter. Meng Xiaoyun would definitely look for the thing she lost. As long as she handed the thing over to the staff in the restaurant, they would naturally return it to Meng Xiaoyun's hands. Su Mo had already left for a long time. She was afraid that Lan Fengchen would be unhappy, so she planned to go back. However, she suddenly heard footsteps behind her. When she turned around, she saw Meng Xiaoyun hurrying over with an anxious expression on her face. Meng Xiaoyun seemed to be looking for something. Meng Xiaoyun seemed to have not expected Su Mo to still be here, but she soon saw the brooch in Su Mo's hand. Her expression changed and she reached out to ask for it, "Give me that." Her rude tone made Su Mo feel very uncomfortable. Su Mo didn't want to stay any longer, so she returned the brooch to Meng Xiaoyun. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she heard a voice coming from behind Meng Xiaoyun. "Little Yun, why have you been gone for so long?" Su Mo felt this voice was too familiar, making her think that she was hearing things. Not noticing Meng Xiaoyun's pale face, Su Mo slowly turned around, wanting to take a look at the owner of the voice. Just as Su Mo turned around, Meng Xiaoyun had already reacted. She hurriedly pulled the person away, causing the other party to be a little confused. The man even asked her what had happened. Even so, Su Mo still saw the appearance of the person who came. That face was so familiar to her that she opened her mouth and called out the familiar name, "Brother Jin?" Meng Xiaoyun was shocked. The strength of her hands was blocked. She saw that Lin Jinyao had stopped. He did not turn around, but the complicated expression on his face was enough to make Meng Xiaoyun worry. After being separated from him for such a long time, Su Mo had never thought of meeting him in such a situation. Seeing that he did not move, she did not give up and shouted again, "Brother Jin, is that you?" This time, he heard it clearly. Lin Jinyao slowly turned around and did not notice the expression of the person beside him. He unconsciously walked closer to her and said to her, "Are you calling me?" After six years of not seeing Lin Jinyao again, Su Mo felt a myriad of emotions in her heart. She looked at him with red eyes. "It really is you. I was afraid that I was mistaken since we haven't seen each other for too long." These words were somewhat desolate. While he was looking at her, Lin Jinyao's strange gaze made her feel even more uncomfortable. She thought to herself, "I haven't seen Brother Jin for so long, but he has already forgotten me?" Lin Jinyao looked at Su Mo and could not tell what he was feeling. This person was once a treasure that he held in his hands, the girl that he swore to protect for his entire life. But now, in front of him, she seemed completely unfamiliar. Lin Jinyao had been looking at Su Mo the whole time. There were some complex and incomprehensible doubts in his eyes. This made Meng Xiaoyun very uncomfortable. She reached out to hold his hands. "Yao, I suddenly feel uncomfortable. Let's go back!" When his hands were held, Lin Jinyao seemed to have been scalded and subconsciously shook her hands off. The person whose hands were flung away had a face full of injuries. She looked at Lin Jinyao in disbelief, thinking to herself, "This woman has already left for so long. Could he still not forget her?" Only then did Su Mo notice that the relationship between the two of them was unusual. She looked at Lin Jinyao with some uncertainty, "Brother Jin, you two?" Seeing the blank expression on Lin Jinyao's face, Meng Xiaoyun had an idea in her heart. She immediately grabbed his arm and pledged her sovereignty, "We are now together." "Together? You?" Su Mo looked at Meng Xiaoyun in disbelief, then she looked at Lin Jinyao as if asking him for confirmation, "Brother Jin, is what she said true?" Su Mo's words of calling him Brother Jin were so natural that they made Meng Xiaoyun very uncomfortable. Lin Jinyao's performance especially made Meng Xiaoyun feel as if she was facing a great enemy. Everyone knew how he doted on that girl back then. Now that Su Mo had returned, how could Meng Xiaoyun not worry? Lin Jinyao was even more puzzled than Su Mo. He asked the person beside him, "Xiaoyun, who is this person? Why does she call me brother?" "Brother Jin, you don't remember me?" Su Mo looked at Lin Jinyao in disbelief. "Who are you? Should I remember you?" Lin Jinyao asked, looking at Su Mo in confusion. These words were too hurtful. Su Mo's eyes turned red in an instant. She opened her mouth but did not know what to say. Her lips moved and she finally asked, "Brother Jin, do you really not remember me?" These words seemed to have exhausted all of her strength. Looking at the confusion and loss on Lin Jinyao's face, Su Mo shifted her gaze to Meng Xiaoyun on the side. "You know what happened, right? Why did Brother Jin forget me?" Su Mo had also fantasized about reuniting with Lin Jinyao, but she had not expected such a result. Originally, she wanted to ask him why he refused to listen to her explanation back then. Why did he leave at her most painful and most difficult time? Why didn't he come to find her? Why did he give up their ten-year relationship so easily? But now that things had come to this, there was no point in saying anything. Her former lover had already forgotten her, and he had gotten together with her former friend. It turned out that she had already been excluded. Lin Jinyao also looked at Meng Xiaoyun as if he wanted to hear what she wanted to say. Both of them looked over, causing Meng Xiaoyun's heart to skip a beat. Meng Xiaoyun thought that the more she said, the more mistakes she would make. When she saw that Lin Jinyao was already suspicious, she was so shocked that her scalp went numb. She quickly hugged his arm and said, "Yao, I feel very uncomfortable. Let's go back, okay?" Lin Jinyao lowered his head to look at her. Her face was abnormally pale, and it looked like she was feeling unwell. However, he did not want to leave just like that. He looked at Su Mo with many questions in his heart. Just as Lin Jinyao was about to speak, he saw a person walk over from the other side of the corridor. The man's gaze flashed as he looked at Su Mo, and the questions Lin Jinyao was about to ask were forcefully suppressed by him. As Lan Fengchen walked over, his gaze swept over the three of them before stopping on Su Mo. His lips curled into a smile, "Su Mo, so you are here."
