Staring at the bustling street scenes outside the full-length glass window, Qi Mei suddenly froze. She was amused by his words. A cheater had the cheek to say those things. She turned around with a cold smile. “I’ve returned all the things you gave me. Did you check them? I wish I didn’t miss anything.”

“I really wanted to give you those things.” Yin Ziyuan frowned.

She was amused to see his expression. He was still pretending to be affectionate. She said, “It’s good that you received them because I also want to take back what I gave you.”

He was slightly stunned. After she finished speaking, she took his phone from the table.

“Qi Mei?” He didn’t know what she wanted to do. He stood up, wanting to stop her, and took back his phone.

However, the moment he stepped forward, she deliberately swayed to the side and the phone flew out of her hand. With a loud bang, the phone fell to the ground, and the screen shattered. it was completely broken.

The noise attracted the attention of everyone else in the restaurant.

Qi Mei raised her voice and said in disbelief, “You cheated on me, and I broke up with you. Now I want to take back what I bought with my own money, but you refuse to cooperate?”

For a moment, everyone in the restaurant looked at Yin Ziyuan with disdain and condemnation. They were probably thinking that he was a decently dressed gigolo and cheated on his girlfriend. He even refused to return her things after breaking up with her. How shameless.

After Qi Mei vented her anger, she felt that more than half of the foul air in her chest had been expelled. She thought that she didn’t care, but she was just being stubborn. When she felt relieved at this moment, she really put it behind her.

As a working professional, Qi Mei knew the importance of a mobile phone, not to mention people in the financial industry like Yin Ziyuan who wished he could carry it with him at all times. That was why her anger was worked off after she smashed his phone.

Under everyone’s gaze, Yin Ziyuan frowned at Qi Mei and whispered, “Qi Mei, I hope we can part without hard feelings.”

Did he blame her for the ignominious ending? Why didn’t he think about their dignity when he cheated on her? Not to be outdone, she looked at Yin Ziyuan. “You want to part without hard feelings? Then don’t cheat on me. I’m telling it right now. Let’s break up!”

After that, Qi Mei left with her head held high under the gaze of everyone in the restaurant.

When she returned home at night, Qi Mei’s parents were still watching TV in the living room.

“You guys haven’t slept yet?” Qi Mei changed her shoes while looking at her parents who were sitting on the sofa.

When Qi Sheng saw his daughter return, he immediately asked, “Have you had dinner?”

Qi Mei really hadn’t eaten. She worked late tonight. It was already past nine o’clock. She didn’t feel hungry before, but now that she was home, she felt tired and starving.

Qi Mei heated up some porridge without letting her father help and ate it at the dining table. The fatigue after a long day was gone after her empty belly was filled. But before she recovered her strength, she heard the clucking sounds from the other end of the sofa.

Yun Xiaofang held her phone and sighed. “What’s wrong with people this year? Did they get married by preconcert? I’ve received five wedding invitations this month… Teacher Wang is even younger than me. His daughter is already married…”

When Qi Mei heard this, she sprang to her feet, picked up the dishes, and quickly hid in the kitchen.

Seeing Qi Mei head to the kitchen, Yun Xiaofang complained to Qi Sheng, “Look, this is your daughter. She’s almost thirty years old. Does she still think she’s a little girl? If she doesn’t hurry, who will marry her? She will be a spinster. Also, she didn’t earn much money from her job. She wakes up early in the morning and sleeps late at night every day. She could have lived a much easier life if she had taken my advice. I don’t think she is happy with such a busy life. She doesn’t even have time to go on a date with Ziyuan.”

Hearing Yin Ziyuan’s name, Qi Mei’s stomach, which had just been pacified, instantly churned. She had high self-esteem and was never emotionally traumatized. There were always boys chasing after her. Who would have thought that she would be tricked by Yin Ziyuan? She also valued her reputation.

“I’m going to take a shower. I’m tired and ready to sleep. You guys should go to bed early too.” Qi Mei really did not want to hear anything related to Yin Ziyuan. She left the kitchen and went straight to her room.

“Yin Ziyuan hasn’t come here for two weeks. Do you think they are at odds with each other?” Yun Xiaofang looked at Qi Sheng worriedly.

Yin Ziyuan was very good at playing nice. He would come to the Qi family’s house to help out with housework and buy groceries in his spare time. Yun Xiaofang was very satisfied with him.
