ilent, but the silence wasn't awkward. Cheng Kexin seemed to feel a warmth enveloping the two of them, unrelated to love, yet it moved her nonetheless. 。It's good... To have loved and hated people in...Yes, that's right. He ignored Sophie who was sitting opposite Zhao Yinan. Sometimes people can be really opportunistic. Those who flatter and fawn will always try to curry favor with prominent figures so they can have fewer years of struggle and more years of comfort. This analogy might not be very appropriate, but it fits the current situation well. This waiter, with his dignified appearance and gentle smile, perfectly embodies this.
Although Sophie was stunningly beautiful and dressed a hundred times brighter than the plain Zhao Yinan beside her, he still recognized at a glance that Zhao Yinan's shirt was a minimalist design by Ou Nuo. Although it had been on the market for some time, its price was still beyond the reach of ordinary people. In contrast to Sophie, while her dress was undoubtedly beautiful, as someone who worked in high society, serving a group of bosses, rich second-generation, and wealthy wives all day long, hadn't he ever seen pork or at least a pig walking This Taobao hot-selling summer dress, 51 pieces, buy two get one.
Zhao Yino's purpose wasn't to come here for afternoon tea. After glancing at the menu, she was so startled that she couldn't even breathe. Not to mention her Mrs. Gu identity, she was just a third-rate employee who showed people drawings in a top-tier company, truly belonging to the vast working class. She ordered a coffee whose name she couldn't remember, only knowing it was the cheapest, and casually dismissed the waiter.
Sophie was seething with anger. She knew her current situation paled in comparison to Zhao Yinan's, who could easily afford not only a cup of expensive coffee but also buy out the entire chain, including all its branches. That seemingly insignificant detail about the waiter instantly ignited a burning resentment within Sophie.
She spoke in a loud voice, pointing at items on the menu as she told him what she wanted. It was just like her old vibrant self. The waiter smiled and nodded along, then said something about waiting a moment.
After the waiter left, the two fell into an awkward silence. Sophie was the first to speak: “You look like you have a heavy heart. Aren’t you happy to come out and sit with me If it weren’t for the fact that we were still good college friends, you wouldn’t even give me this much face.”
Zhao Yizhen was too lazy to explain to her: "Believe what you want. The fact that I agreed to come out with you means I don't look down on you, openly or secretly."
This statement really struck a chord. Sophie used to be the apple of everyone's eye. She came from a wealthy family, was beautiful and intelligent, and was the beloved darling of Su Yongtian. So many people were vying for her attention that they couldn't even get close. Every time she was with Sophie, Zhao Yizhuo always felt inferior.
Sophie clearly hadn't expected Zhao Yinan to speak to her like this, directly interrupting her plan to subtly diss Zhao Yinan. She adjusted her posture and then curled a knowing smile at the corner of her lips: "Since it's not disdain for me, then the worry etched on your face now only speaks to one thing…"
She deliberately sold a pass, leaning her body forward closer to Zhao Yinan: "You're not doing well..."
Zhao Yizhuo's shoulders trembled slightly. The former oblivious young miss Sophie, who had never understood the nuances of social cues, had become so perceptive. She instantly grasped the root of his unhappiness.
Sometimes people are like that, even when their facade of strength has been shattered, they still pretend nothing is wrong, enduring the pain inside and putting on a brave face for others: "No, I'm fine."
Sophie scoffed, her voice laced with undisguised contempt: "You know in your heart whether you're telling the truth. You think you can fool others, but in reality, you can't even fool yourself. Let me tell you something, right now, you can't even fool me."
Zhao Yizhuo still wanted to say something, but when the words reached her lips, she completely forgot them. Oh my god, she was actually nervous, and that too in front of Sophie.
"What's wrong Did my dear brother Guwang dump you" Sophie said with a gleeful smirk. "How come, weren't you so affectionate in front of me back then Just after such a short time, things are already falling apart"y couldn't help but nod in agreement. It was indeed their fault. Although what we did was a bit excessive, it was much better than theirs. The passerby comforted themselves and immediately rolled up t...
