Chapter 14 - Chance in the Restaurant
Li Yi didn't really care about Su Jinyi's life, but seeing that Su Jingran was sad and blamed herself, the thought of going to talk to Su Jinyi first and persuade her to return to the right path arose in her mind.
It just so happened that today, Li Yi invited a customer to chat at the restaurant located in the center of the city, and in the time it took for them to meet, he saw Su Jinyi walking in with the restaurant waiter's guidance.
Li Yi remembered that Su Jingran previously said that Su Jinyi's days in the Su Family were not easy. With her current situation, it was obviously impossible for her to come to such a high-class restaurant to eat.
If Li Yi still had some doubts about Su Jingran's guess before, now it seemed that Su Jinyi was basically being kept as a pet.
"Su Jinyi, I have something to tell you."
Just as Su Jinyi sat down under the guidance of the attendant, she heard someone greeting her. When she turned around, she saw Li Yi, who was looking at her with a look of disdain.
"I'm sorry, sir, but we don't seem to know each other."
In the past, it was too late for Li Yi to avoid her, so why would he take the initiative to come over and greet her like this?
"Just a few words, it'll be good for you to hear." Li Yi, whether or not Su Jinyi agreed, sat on the sofa opposite her.
"I'm not interested in what you're going to say. If you insist on saying it, feel free to do so." Su Jinyi said as she turned her head to the waiter and said, "I want a cappuccino, thank you."
"Ok, may I ask what you need, sir?"
"He's leaving right now. He doesn't need anything." When Su Jinyi was speaking, she did not even bat an eyelid. Her actions and words had already expressed that she did not welcome Li Yi who was sitting opposite her, displaying her emotions perfectly.
"An American coffee, no sugar, no milk, thank you." Li Yi said to the waiter in order to alleviate the awkwardness.
"Would you please take his coffee to another table? Thank you." Su Jinyi politely said to the waiter beside her.
"Su Jinyi, I came here with good intentions to advise you, you should know what's good for you." Li Yi was enraged by her attitude, and spoke while suppressing the anger in his heart.
"So, I have to thank you a million times?"
The waiter looked at the two guests with a troubled expression, then tactfully left.
"I know that because of what happened previously, you didn't want to see me, and I don't like you either. If it wasn't for Jing Ran's face, I wouldn't have come over to talk to you." Li Yi looked at Su Jinyi with disgust.
"Since everyone doesn't like each other, there's no need for you to forcefully sit together and pretend that you are having fun chatting. There's no need for you to pretend that you care about me."
"Do you think I want to care about you?"
"In that case, please do as you please, Mr. Lee."
"Su Jinyi, don't think that just because you're attached to a rich family that you'll be able to climb up to the top of the branches. Your actions will only make me look down on you even more."
"Did I beg you to look up to me?" Su Jinyi rolled her eyes and retorted coldly.
"I know that I have married Su Jingran and you have hatred in your heart for both her and me, but even if you continue to act so selfishly like this, you still won't allow me to have any good feelings towards you at all."
Su Jinyi almost laughed out loud when she heard Li Yi's words.
"Mr. Lee, was what I said before not clear enough? We are only strangers now, and whatever you marry or do, it has nothing to do with me, nor will it affect me in the slightest. "
"Madam, I'm sorry to disturb you. This is your cappuccino." The waiter carefully placed the coffee cup in front of Su Jinyi.
"Ugh …" And Mister's American coffee. " The waiter carried the tray and asked in a low voice with a troubled expression, "May I ask where I should place it?"
"Give it to me." Li Yi pointed to the table in front of him.
"Yes, sir." The waiter was relieved. He put away the coffee and left immediately, afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would be in trouble.
"Su Jinyi, you have to be honest and honest. If you have any difficulties, you can go to Yi Xin's company to look for Sister Zhang in the HR Department. She will arrange a decent job for you." Li Yi emphasized on the word 'decent'.
"Oh? Then wouldn't I have to thank Mr. Lee? "
"No need to thank me. What I'm doing is completely out of respect for Jing Ran and Uncle Su. Don't think too much about it." Li Yi said, he asked the waiter to bring a pen and paper, and wrote down a series of phone numbers in front of Su Jinyi.
"This is the call from the Personnel Department's Sister Zhang. I'll give her a call in advance."
Su Jinyi glanced at the slip of paper on the table, but did not extend her hand to receive it.
"That is all I have to say, and I hope that you will be able to correct your mistakes and not go further down the wrong path. You must know that whatever you do, it does not only represent you alone, it also affects the face of the entire Su Family. " Li Yi showed a haughty attitude of being a lecturer. (TL: UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU))
"Adding on the matter of the Su Group, all the reporters in the media magazines are trying to dig up all kinds of news about the Su Family. If someone finds out that you are being kept by others, it will have a huge negative impact on the Su Group. Even if you are willing to fall, you still have to think for the honor of the Su Clan. "
Su Jinyi sneered, she did not know where Li Yi's confidence came from from, so she came over to teach her a lesson, telling her to be shameless and protect the Su Family's reputation.
"I wonder how many cups of cappuccino the employees of Mr. Lee can buy every month?"
Suddenly, a magnetic male voice came from above their heads.
"Sorry for making you wait." He Ruiting softly said to Su Jinyi without even glancing at her once.
"Who are you?" Li Yi asked in annoyance.
"Waiter, order." He Ruiting did not bother to pay attention to Li Yi, but continued to press the service bell on the table.
"I'm only a little late, how did someone get involved with my Jin Yi?"
He Ruiting said as he reached out and grabbed Su Jinyi's shoulder, acting extremely intimate.
"Looks like you're the financial backer for Su Jinyi. Her arrogance is exactly the same as yours." Li Yi sarcastically said. Probably because he felt that it was unsatisfying, he added: "It's the same as always."
"Hello, sir. This is the menu for our restaurant." From the moment He Ruiting entered the dining hall and went straight to Su Jinyi's table to sit down, the waiter had been praying that the customers at the table didn't call him, but if they really wanted to, even if he was a million times unwilling, he had to muster up his courage and come over to order.
"Thank you." He Ruiting took the menu, but did not immediately look through it. Instead, he asked, "Is your restaurant's business already so hot that you need customers to fight with strangers over the tables?"
"Huh?" The waiter didn't react for a moment.
He Ruiting glanced at Li Yi who was sitting opposite to him.
"This gentleman has just come to talk to this lady. I thought …" The waiter carefully replied, "I'll go call our manager over immediately."
