Chapter 199: Uninvited Guest, Madam Ji
Athena walked to a nearby Yong He King, pushed open the restaurant door, went in, and ordered soy milk and fried dough sticks, and also ordered congee for Ji Xiangyu!
This portion of congee and side dishes is perfect for a patient. If she hadn’t stayed overnight at the hospital last night, perhaps she would have personally made congee and brought it over today. Would Ji Xiangyu have thought she was virtuous?
While waiting for the takeout, Athena happily thought about what life would be like if she married Ji Xiangyu in the future. All sorts of wonderful things and happiness overflowed on her face!
The waiter smiled and brought the packed food to Athena, saying with a bright smile, “Enjoy your meal!”
How wonderful, a stranger’s smile, like the warm sun of early spring, flowed into her heart!
She pushed the door open and walked out. At this moment, it started to pour down with rain. Athena looked helplessly at the pouring rain, feeling very anxious in her heart. Ji Xiangyu must be hungry!
A shiny black Porsche slowly drove over in the rain. Soon, a man in black clothes, holding a black umbrella, got out. Every step he took on his polished leather shoes splashed a small ripple.
Athena watched the man walk towards her, and only when he respectfully called her name did she snap back to reality.
“Miss Qing, our Madam requests your presence!”
Our Madam requests my presence? An uneasy thought arose in her heart. Could it be Ji Xiangyu’s mother? Also, this man called her by her old name!
She had never met Ji Xiangyu’s parents and didn’t know why this wealthy family’s daughter-in-law was looking for her!
The rain kept falling, water splashing everywhere. There was no sound around, only the dead silence of the rain echoing with a pitter-patter!
A sense of unease swept over her entire body. Athena took the umbrella handed to her by the man in black and, with a strong gust of wind, walked towards the beautiful car that was still eye-catching despite being washed by the rain!
Her skirt was soaked by the rain. The car door was opened, and the moment she got in, her heart tightened. Inside sat a dignified and wealthy woman. Besides Li Mei, there was no one else in the car!
It was presumed that the man in black was the driver. The awkward atmosphere continued. The driver did not get into the car but stood outside with the umbrella. Athena looked at the driver and thought that if they were going to talk, they could find a coffee shop, and it wouldn’t be necessary to make the driver stand in the rain.
Li Mei looked at Athena’s half-soaked skirt with disdain. Her well-maintained slender, tender hands were elegantly crossed on her knees. Her exquisite makeup made Li Mei look very young, not like a married woman whose sons were already grown.
The word “woman” could no longer describe Li Mei. If anything, she was a noblewoman, an elegant noblewoman!
Athena finally couldn’t hold back and asked with a hoarse voice, “May I know why Madam Ji is looking for me?!”
Li Mei curled her lips and looked at Athena charmingly, saying, “You are much more sensible now than you were five years ago!”
Hearing Li Mei say this, it meant that they had met and spoken five years ago, but Athena’s mind had no memory of Li Mei. What did she want to say to her?
Li Mei didn’t beat around the bush and said directly, “I’m not looking for you today to discuss how much you’ve changed, but rather…” As she spoke, she took a check out of her bag and handed it to Athena, saying, “Fifty million. You should be content, right? You have no future with Xiao Yu. I hope you’ll end it sooner rather than later!”
Athena’s hands tightly gripped the breakfast in her hand, staring at the check with countless zeros written on it. She found it ridiculous. She, Athena, would also encounter such a scenario. Did all rich people like to dismiss their children’s girlfriends like this?
It’s almost the 22nd century, why are such vulgar scenes still happening?!
Li Mei sneered and threw the check at Athena, saying coldly, “Be content. With fifty million, you can do many things, at least you won’t have to eat this cheap stuff!”
Li Mei’s gaze drifted to the breakfast in Athena’s hand, and she said with disdain, “Eating this kind of thing, I feel sorry for our Xiao Yu.”
Yes, Athena, why didn’t she think of it? Ji Xiangyu always lived luxuriously and ate delicately. She should have found a high-end restaurant, so she wouldn’t be indirectly humiliated by Li Mei.
