Chapter 683: The First Encounter of the Two Women
Lin Zhiyun didn’t have any other matters, so she stayed in the flower shop every day and helped Xiao Ai around.
A young man and a young girl pushed open the door and went into the flower shop in front of Lin Zhiyun. Xiao Ai quickly greeted them, “Do the two of you want to buy flowers?”
“En.” Yang Ming nodded and scanned around, but when he saw Lin Zhiyun, who was decorating the flowers. he couldn’t help but be surprised.
Lin Zhiyun saw the customers come in and she also looked up. Then, she noticed Yang Ming. She was a little surprised. However, when she saw Chen Mengyan next to him, Lin Zhiyun put away the idea of saying hello and silently bowed down her head.
Yang Ming noticed that Lin Zhiyun lowered her head and knew her intention. He couldn’t help but feel awkward. Since Lin Zhiyun didn’t speak, Yang Ming could only pretend to be a stranger.
“What kind of flowers do the two of you want to buy?” Xiao Ai didn’t notice the embarrassment of Yang Ming and Lin Zhiyun and came over to say hello.
“We are visiting a patient. What kind of flowers are suitable?” asked Chen Mengyan.
“Oh? Since both of you are visiting a patient, it is better to give gladioli, roses or orchids. For them, you should avoid sending white, blue, yellow or flowers with a heavy fragrance. I think you can choose carnations, Shoe black plants, daffodils, orchids, etc. and compliment it with asparagus, Baby’s Breath or Lycopodiopsida, adding on a blessing for a quick recovery.” Xiao Ai explained non-stop.
“That is still so much information. In your opinion, how should we buy it?” It was Chen Mengyan’s first time as well. She hadn’t visited a patient before.
“How about this? Most people who visit a patient bought flower baskets and let us arrange it on our side. Will that suit you?” asked Xiao Ai.
“Of course, that would be great!” Chen Mengyan nodded after listening, “We also want a flower basket. Please help us arrange it!”
“Yes, no problem!” Xiao Ai said, “The special price for a flower basket during the grand opening is ninety-nine yuan. Do you think that would work?”
“Yes.” Yang Ming handed over a hundred yuan from his wallet after hearing it.
Xiao Ai took the money, and then smiled at Lin Zhiyun, “Lin Zhiyun, help me make a flower basket!”
“Lin Zhiyun?” After Chen Mengyan heard the name, she suddenly whispered softly and frowned. Looking at Yang Ming not far away, Chen Mengyan was lost in thought…
Lin Zhiyun didn’t dare to face Yang Ming. After all, the original wife of the family was here, how would she, the fake one, dare to say anything? She quickly got the basket ready and carefully handed it to Chen Mengyan, “The basket is ready. Does it suit you?”
“Not bad!” Chen Mengyan nodded, but her eyes weren’t on the flower basket as she assessed Lin Zhiyun thoroughly.
Lin Zhiyun was very uncomfortable with Chen Mengyan’s gaze. She didn’t know what to say. She was baffled. What is Chen Mengyan looking at? I didn’t reveal any flaws, right?
Chen Mengyan withdrew her gaze and said in a meaningful way, “Sister, you look so beautiful and your skills are good!”
“Hehe, it is still alright…” said Lin Zhiyun in fear and trepidation.
“Let’s go, Mengyan?” Yang Ming said as he laughed it off.
“Yes, let us go. Thank you!” Chen Mengyan said to Lin Zhiyun.
“You’re welcome…” Lin Zhiyun said quickly. Lin Zhiyun didn’t know why she felt helpless. In front of Chen Mengyan, she was like a little daughter-in-law.
Lin Zhiyun took a sigh of relief after Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan walked out of the flower shop. Originally, she also had a dream with Yang Ming. But now, seeing Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan appear in front of her, Lin Zhiyun knew that she had always lived in a fantasy.
Lin Zhiyun sighed in depression. It seems that my romantic life isn’t smooth and is full of thorns. Lin Zhiyun couldn’t imagine what the future would be like, and she didn’t want to think about it.
Outside the flower shop, Yang Ming was also relieved, but Chen Mengyan’s next sentence directly startled Yang Ming’s heart!
“Lin Zhiyun… isn’t that familiar?” Chen Mengyan looked at Yang Ming and said it as though she was smiling when she got in the car.
“Ah!” Yang Ming was shocked. He was about to start the car and yet his hand trembled. His keys almost fell to the ground. Yang Ming didn’t know what Chen Mengyan meant, so he smiled and said, “Really?”
“En… I seemed to hear of it before?” Chen Mengyan raised her head and leaned back in the car seat in contemplation.
“Mengyan, what do you want to say? Just say it.” With Yang Ming’s understanding of Chen Mengyan, he knew that Chen Mengyan must have something to say.
“Don’t you want to say anything?” asked Chen Mengyan.
“I… What do I say?” Yang Ming said innocently. Chen Mengyan was a small vinegar jar. Yang Ming naturally didn’t want to say too much, or else, it would really stir up trouble. It would be bad if it became a fight. He would hide it even for an extra moment.
“I’m giving you a chance!” Chen Mengyan suddenly turned her head around and stared at Yang Ming. “Just once. What do you want to say to me?”
Looking at Chen Mengyan’s aggressive gaze, Yang Ming immediately understood that Chen Mengyan was acting the whole time. She must have remembered who Lin Zhiyun is just now!
Yang Ming sighed as he had no way to go about it. Since the incident had come to this step, he couldn’t hide it anymore so he spoke, “You are right. She is the girl who I had hurt…”
“You two have already met, right?” When Chen Mengyan spoke, her voice changed slightly.
“Yes.” Yang Ming braced himself and said it.
“Why didn’t you tell me? Hiding it from me again?” Chen Mengyan said with some sadness, “Yang Ming, why do you always hide things from me? Am I still your girlfriend? There were a lot of things that outsiders knew but I was the only one who didn’t know about it. What do you think I am?”
“Mengyan… I…” Yang Ming extended his arms to hold Chen Mengyan, but Chen Mengyan struggled and didn’t want Yang Ming to hold her. However, her strength wasn’t on par with Yang Ming’s especially when the space inside the car wasn’t big. Chen Mengyan tried to break free for a while but Yang Ming held her in his arms.
“What are you doing? Why are you hugging me?” Chen Mengyan shook her head and said faintly, “You hid Lan Ling’s matter from me beforehand. This time, you also did the same with Lin Zhiyun’s matters… If I didn’t meet her coincidentally today, how long did you plan to hide it from me?”
“Ai!” Yang Ming said with a wry smile, “Mengyan, I don’t want to hide it from you but you have a hot temper. You tend to get jealous easily. How could I tell you this? If I told you more about it, the two of us would start to quarrel and then, it will be a cold war…”
“Am I as petty as you say?” Chen Mengyan wasn’t happy.
“Look at it yourself. Weren’t you impulsive on Zhao Ying’s matter?” Yang Ming said, “You almost broke up with me!”
“Didn’t I apologized after that?” Chen Mengyan was embarrassed. After all, that was her fault.
“And, didn’t I tell you about Lin Zhiyun’s matter already?” Yang Ming explained, “I told you about it before. That doesn’t count as hiding from you!”
“Yeah, but then?” Chen Mengyan complained, “How would I expect that you would meet her later? I thought that you would never see her again…”
Chen Mengyan did think so at the time. She felt that Lin Zhiyun won’t cross paths with Yang Ming since she had left silently. This was why she didn’t care too much at the time!
She didn’t expect that fate reunited them so fast… This made Chen Mengyan uncomfortable, but she couldn’t make a fuss about it!
Firstly, Yang Ming did tell her about it. Also, the mistake was with Yang Ming. Since she had accepted Yang Ming, she had to accept his everything.
Secondly, Chen Mengyan had never seen Lin Zhiyun before. She didn’t know Lin Zhiyun. Today, at the flower shop, she noticed Lin Zhiyun’s obedient attitude and Chen Mengyan couldn’t be angry with her.
If it was another girl who had a deliberate mind, she could use it to blackmail Yang Ming. Even if Lin Zhiyun didn’t become Yang Ming’s girlfriend, it wasn’t a problem to ask for a sum of money from Yang Ming’s current financial resources.
But Chen Mengyan noticed Lin Zhiyun’s plain appearance and her hard work. She knew that Lin Zhiyun wasn’t such a person. Therefore, Chen Mengyan was now conflicted…
This was the reason why she didn’t make a fuss with Yang Ming when she returned to the car.
Over there, Lin Zhiyun was overwhelmed while Chen Mengyan here was equally confused… She didn’t know how to face it.
