Jiang Yining knew that the friend she was talking about was an old friend who looked similar to her.

In these two days of conversation, Mrs. Ross mentioned this old friend many times, and her words were filled with longing for her.

She didn't need Jiang Yining to talk to her, so she quickly took the topic elsewhere.

More often, he would look at Jiang Yining's face in trance.

Jiang Yining didn't bother her. Whenever this happened, he would wait quietly for her to come to her senses.

After sitting in the outdoor cafe for half an hour, before leaving to continue shopping, Mrs. Ross went to the bathroom accompanied by her assistant, while Jiang Yining sat there waiting for her to come back.

She asked Jiang Shuang and Jiang Xue to come over and rest for a while.

Jiang Xue agreed with a smile, took the menu handed over by Jiang Yining, and ordered a dessert set.

Jiang Shuang, on the other hand, insisted on staying at his post.

Even though she knew that Mu Chen was secretly arranging her own people.

Jiang Yining asked Jiang Xue to order a package of her favorite flavor so that she could eat it when she was free.

Jiang Xue was not polite and said sweetly:
"Hey, Yi Ning is the best boss I've ever had."

By the time Jiang Xue finished her last bite, more than ten minutes had passed, but Mrs. Ross hadn't come back yet.

Jiang Yining took out his mobile phone and prepared to call and ask.

However, after seeing the display on the screen, he immediately frowned.

Jiang Xue noticed something unusual, her smile faded, and she asked:
"what happened?"

"No signal." Jiang Yining put away his phone and raised his head, "Look at yours."

Jiang Xue immediately took out her mobile phone.

Likewise, not a single cell tower remains.

They were in the city center and on an open street. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible to have no signal.

Jiang Xue comforted Jiang Yining.

"Yining, please stay here and don't move around. I'll talk to my sister."

Without a signal, it becomes difficult to even contact our own people who are scattered everywhere in the dark.

Mrs. Ross was even more unsure of what was going on.

Jiang Shuang was on guard not far away. Jiang Yining looked up and saw Jiang Xue walking over to talk to her. A few seconds later, the two people walked over.

At this moment, a person came to her faster than Jiang Shuang and Jiang Xue.

The man directly pulled out the chair opposite Jiang Yining and sat down.

Finally, he gave Jiang Yining a friendly smile.

It's Reese Howard.

"Yining, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you a little, but it's really hard to see you."

As if there was no one around, he picked up the menu on the table, called the waiter, and ordered for himself.

The sudden situation startled Sister Jiang Shuang, who was a few steps away. Then she quickened her pace and rushed over, about to pull away.
Jiang Yining stopped them.

"I'm not familiar with you, there's no need to meet."

Reese Howard sighed.

After ordering, he put down the menu, looked up at the twins guarding Jiang Yining, smiled, and didn't take it to heart.

"We would have had plenty of opportunities to get acquainted, if you wanted."

Jiang Yining looked at him coldly.

"I don't want to. Also, please leave. You are sitting in my friend's seat."

Reese Howard chuckled, holding his chin with one hand, looking at her with great pleasure.

"Do you want to ask me about that lady's situation?"

"Don't worry! She's fine. There's just no barrier-free restroom nearby, so she has to walk a little further."

"That woman is not simple. Even for me, it would be difficult for me to attack her."

Jiang Yining had a cold face and said nothing.

From the man's expression and tone, it was difficult to tell whether his words were true or false.

However, regardless of whether what he said is true or false, his actions alone make people dislike him.

While talking, the coffee ordered by Reese Howard was served.

He took a deep breath. "The mocha here is very rich and tastes good. Do you want to try it?"

Jiang Yining had no intention of answering. He shrugged and continued talking to himself:

"Oh, yes, you don't like coffee, right? I've never seen you drink it... What you prefer is probably juice. The few times I've seen you drink juice."

When Jiang Yining heard this, the displeasure between his brows deepened.

Before the SIM competition, this man was studying at Beijing University and was Ye Yan's boyfriend. He invited 202 to dinner.

Apart from that meal, there was the SIM cocktail party, and just now she and Mrs. Ross were sitting here chatting.

He actually judged so much based on these three times.

It makes people feel creepy and scary.

You know, it was more than half a year ago that I invited 202 to dinner.

"what do you want to say in the end?"

Rhys Howarth smiled and coaxed in a very friendly tone:
"It's nothing, I just want to chat with you. I don't plan to do anything. Of course, I can't do anything."

"That boyfriend of yours is too authoritarian and not suitable for you."

"I was put in jail for more than half a month, and I was put on China's list of people who are refused entry."

He spoke in a low voice, as if the girl sitting opposite him was his close friend.

Jiang Yining finally spoke:

"Don't you deserve it?"

Rhys Howarth spread his hands and laughed.

"Okay, okay, I deserve it. I admit that I did some things you didn't like before. However, I just wanted to make sure something. I didn't really want to hurt you or the puppies around you."

"I wanted to make it clear to you before, but I never found the chance."

"This opportunity is probably only available to you once, right?"

After he finished speaking, the air was quiet for a moment.

Probably expecting that Jiang Yining would not accept his words, Reese Howard sighed softly.

"I thought you would at least ask me what I wanted to be sure of."

Under Jiang Yining's cold gaze, he picked up the coffee, drank the liquid in the cup in one breath, and put the cup down.

"Okay, I know you don't like me yet, and that's okay."

"See you in China."

He stood up and waved to Jiang Yining.

Then, without any hesitation, he turned around and left.

It was as if he came here and cut off the signal in this area just to say a few words to her.

Of course, the last sentence still has impact.

Jiang Yining sat where he was, with a cold face.

Jiang Xue came over and whispered:
"Yining, don't be angry, we won't let him go to China."

Jiang Yining took a breath and shook his head.

"I am not angry."

Just feel a little irritable.

Especially that person's determined attitude makes people irritated and helpless.

At this time, the mobile phone in Jiang Yining's pocket suddenly vibrated.

She was stunned for a moment, then took it out and looked at it.

It's Mu Chen's call.

"Ash?"

"Ning Ning, wait for me where you are for 5 minutes."

The man's deep voice reached his ears, instantly driving away the restlessness that was constantly rushing through his body.

Jiang Yining's eyelashes trembled slightly, she closed her eyes and leaned back.

The discomfort and dullness in the mouth and chest disappear instantly.

"Okay." (End of this chapter)
