Chu Mengyao then searched the Internet again. If there really was a need to pay Wu Haoran as compensation for his injuries, this amount of money was far from enough. She could not help but sigh. It seemed that she could only think of another way to raise the money. What troubled her more was how to persuade Wu Haoran to accept this compensation.
After thinking for a while, Chu Mengyao called Ai Ting and invited her to have lunch with him. Just as she was about to leave the company, Bai Xue looked at her and asked, "Boss Chu, do you need me to prepare dinner clothes for you?"
Chu Mengyao was startled, "What are the arrangements for tonight?" In the last two days, her mind had been in a mess and she had not remembered to make arrangements at night.
"Hua Mei Group's annual meeting is today. Didn't you agree to attend at that time?" Bai Xue said.
With her reminder, Chu Mengyao remembered that she had indeed agreed to participate, "I'll prepare for myself, you don't need to worry about this anymore." The price of a set of formal attire wasn't cheap. Now that she was in need of money, it was better to go home and look for it. Although the dress at home is said to be worn on a number of occasions, but with the right combination, even if you wear it over and over again, it's not a big problem.
When Chu Mengyao arrived at the dining hall, she was still not there. She sat on the seat near the window, while playing with her phone and waiting for Ai Ting.
Not long later, Ai Ting walked in. She was wearing a windbreaker with a small skirt inside, giving her a feeling of stardom.
Seeing that Ai Ting's legs were only wearing a pair of thin silk stockings, Chu Mengyao sighed emotionally, "Are you cold?" It was close to the end of the year. Although it hadn't snowed, the temperature had long since dropped. When she went out today, she clearly felt the cold.
"The restaurant has heat. It's not cold." Ai Ting laughed. Because he had been losing weight, Ai Ting ordered very little.
Even until now, Chu Mengyao still felt uncomfortable in her stomach, but she didn't feel hungry either. She saw that the dishes on the menu didn't have any appetite, so she only ordered light things.
Ai Ting took off his sunglasses, "Why are you saving so little today? Your appetite isn't usually like this. What's going on today? Are you trying to lose weight just like me? Don't, it's not healthy. "
"You know it's unhealthy, but you still want to lose weight?" Chu Mengyao lifted her teacup and took a sip of water.
"I was helpless. Yesterday, I signed a role. The director said that I've gotten fat, so I have to be reduced!" Ai Ting felt a bit of grief.
Hearing that, Chu Mengyao was extremely surprised, "You are so skinny, the director actually dared to say that you are fat?" The director's eyes were already choking.
"Isn't it all just for the mirror effect!" Ai Ting sighed, then suddenly saw that Chu Mengyao's left cheek was slightly red and swollen, "Why is your face swollen? She didn't sound too good.
"Aunt Shen," Chu Mengyao thought of the bad news and unconsciously sighed. Then, afraid that Ai Ting would be angered, she hurriedly said, "It's not her problem, this is all my fault." If this matter were to occur to anyone else, they would be infuriated. It would probably be a light slap in the face!
"You are just too weak." Ai Ting didn't believe what she had said, she had never had a good impression of him. She had an indescribable hatred for Wu Haoran's family members. Was this the legendary chain reaction?
"Tingting, I have something to do …" When she mentioned about borrowing money with Ai Ting, she suddenly thought of Xiaoyiran. Ai Ting's income was not stable, the last time Ai Ting lent her a million, he gave it to her. Thinking about it, Chu Mengyao felt that she was unable to speak.
"What is it?" Ai Ting asked.
"Nothing, it's just that I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you a little." Chu Mengyao lowered her eyelids and quickly changed the topic.
Ai Ting, on the other hand, looked at Chu Mengyao with a smiling face, "Your mood has been pretty good lately, right?"
"What do you mean?" Chu Mengyao was a little confused. Her life had been a mess these few days, and her mood had fallen to the bottom.
"The negative news about you online has now turned into positive, good reviews." Ai Ting laughed.
Chu Mengyao was confused by her actions, she did not understand what she meant. Didn't her rumours have already died down?
Ai Ting laughed as she peeled off a piece of orange, placed it in her mouth, "Mengyao, I have helped out with your incident this time."
"What do you mean, confused?" Chu Mengyao simply did not understand and was filled with suspicions.
Ai Ting was shocked, "You haven't gone online these few days and haven't watched the news either?"
Chu Mengyao shook her head sadly. There were too many things that had happened recently, and it was just too bad. She felt like she was about to suffocate. The pressure was so great that she felt like she was about to collapse. Besides, she wasn't in the mood.
"It can't be? I thought that the reason you invited me to such a big meal today was to thank me for my help! " Ai Ting shook her head as she spoke, her face full of regret.
"What are you talking about? I'm completely confused by you." Chu Mengyao said.
Ai Ting saw that she was confused and could not be bothered to say anything. She immediately opened her own live broadcast post, "Take a look."
After Chu Mengyao saw it, she was very grateful that Ai Ting had told him about her relationship with Wu Haoran and Shangguan Rui. Chu Mengyao immediately returned the phone back to Ai Ting after reading it, "Tingting, thank you for doing so much for me."
"Actually, the person you really need to thank is yours!" Ai Ting raised her head to look at Chu Mengyao, and spoke with some profoundness.
Chu Mengyao was a little embarrassed by her stare, "Why do you say that?" What does this have to do with Fu Yi?
"A while ago, someone contacted me and asked if you and I were good friends. At first, I thought you were a liar, "Ai Ting teasingly said." Later on, he explained it to me, and I realized that she was only asking me to help you clarify some things on the internet. "
Hearing this, Chu Mengyao was a little surprised, "Who found you?" Is it Fu Yi? That's not right, I've never heard him mention this before.
"A famous lawyer, Tao Feijin, do you know?" Ai Ting retorted, then continued, "When he asked me to talk about this matter, I asked him why I was helping you, he said it was your boyfriend who asked for his help."
Hearing this, Chu Mengyao felt a warm current pass through her heart.
"Mengyao, that Fu Yi is really nice to you. I was also because of your blessing, in the net also a small rise in the limelight. The character that I acted out this time originally didn't have a few lines, but I didn't know what method Fu Yi and the others used to get me on the search engine. "And most coincidentally, I already had photos of you and Shangguan on Weibo!"
Chu Mengyao did not speak, but she felt warm and sweet in her heart.
Ai Ting took out her phone, "Look at this, it was Xiao Tian who told the media that you are just friends." Then, she pointed to another video, "Take a look at this. It's an interview with your Fu Yi."
In the video, Fu Yi was currently being interviewed by the host. He was very calm as he said, "If I can get her favor, I think I would be very happy."
Fu Yi's words were something Chu Mengyao had never thought of. She only felt her heart pounding and her face turning red, unable to describe her current feelings.
"If you want to express your joy, then laugh to your heart's content. I won't make fun of you. " Ai Ting even showed Chu Mengyao the comments from the netizens, "Look, the netizens are all shouting, they want you all to stay together!"
"Mengyao, I really envy you. To have such a person, in order to not let you feel wronged, I have spent so much effort to help you. " Ai Ting's tone was a little lonely, "It's really too hard to meet such a man. As your good friend, I definitely approve of being together with him."
Chu Mengyao sighed, no wonder Tao Feijin said that he had protected her so well today, that he was thinking for her everywhere, and did not want her to suffer any grievances.
What he had done for her was never mentioned. He was just like that, using his own way to protect her, silently loving her.
Thinking up to here, Chu Mengyao's eyes became a little moist. She suddenly really missed him.
"Are you very touched?" Ai Ting intentionally asked like this.
"I really didn't expect that …" Chu Mengyao said in a low voice, unable to believe it.
"What's there to think about?" Ai Ting rolled her eyes at her. "If I were you, I would go and find him now. She maliciously sized Chu Mengyao up from head to toe, "To be able to sleep with such a masculine man, you must have struck it rich."
Hearing her words, Chu Mengyao immediately laughed.
Ai Ting continued to tease her, "Tell me, how were you able to match eyes with him back then?!"
Chu Mengyao blushed.
"No wonder that time when you were drunk, you said that you wanted to …" Ai Ting unrestrainedly teased her, "If I were you, I would have the same thoughts as you."
Hearing Ai Ting teasing her like this, Chu Mengyao frowned and pouted: "Tingting, you really have turned bad now!"
Ai Ting burst out in laughter, "Haven't you gotten worse as well? "Would you have seduced him otherwise?"
Immediately, Chu Mengyao became speechless. Ever since she met for reconsideration, she really wanted to become crazy and turn bad.
Ai Ting went to the bathroom and took the chance to take out her phone. Fu Yi had only sent her a message in the morning, and up until now, he had not sent her a message. She thought about how she questioned him yesterday about Wu Haoran with such a vile attitude. However, he had accepted her again and again, even sending her so many messages last night.
Thinking about it, Chu Mengyao typed out a text message, "Have you eaten?"
It was already 1 in the afternoon, Fu Yi must have eaten his lunch, so such a short message was inappropriate. Thus, she deleted the text message and edited it again. "What time do you have on the plane?"
Sigh, this still won't do. He had told her about the flight information a long time ago. She had edited it over and over again, but she didn't think it was appropriate. She really didn't know what was more appropriate.
After hesitating for a while, Chu Mengyao decided to give him a call.
Just then, Ai Ting came back from the washroom. Chu Mengyao placed her phone on the table, "Tingting, our company is holding an annual party next Friday, why don't you come and have a look?"
