Chapter 146: 145 Best Substitute (7) - One more update
Zhao Yijun was well aware of how Liao Yizhou liked her to look when she appeared before him, so today she didn’t wear an elaborate makeup, but only a slight touch of light makeup.
After all, he was the one she had once loved with all her might in her youth. Today, when Liao Yizhou saw Zhao Yijun, he even felt a moment of daze.
The things you can’t get are always wonderful.
The first time Liao Yizhou saw Zhao Yijun today, he almost thought they had returned to those green, youthful days.
"This, she’s just a little sister who delivers takeout," Yi Xian warned with a glance at Ye Shaohua, signaling her not to make any trouble, "Right, Miss?"
With Yi Xian saying so, Pu Zhehan and the others reacted, "Yeah, the takeout girl."
Ye Shaohua’s attire didn’t seem to match that of Liao Yizhou and the others’ friend; disregarding the face that greatly resembled Zhao Yijun’s, it wasn’t too much to say she was a takeout girl.
If Zhao Yijun hadn’t already known about Ye Shaohua’s existence, she would have certainly taken these people’s words for truth.
But now, even though she knew, she wouldn’t say anything. Instead, she just smiled and paid no attention to Ye Shaohua, instead ushering everyone back into the yard to play.
Seeing that she didn’t pursue the matter, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief. No one cared about Ye Shaohua anymore; they just surrounded Zhao Yijun with adulation and escorted her back into the yard.
"You’ve finished delivering the takeout," Liao Yizhou lingered a few steps behind the crowd, giving Ye Shaohua a warning glance, "Now hurry up and leave."
His voice was very flat, his steps elegant.
Liao Yizhou understood these women all too well. It wasn’t as though there hadn’t been others who, after leaving, would try every means to extort something more from him.
However, Ye Shaohua was much calmer than he had imagined. In fact, he had been paying attention to her all along; she didn’t even frown.
This wasn’t like the Ye Shaohua he used to know—no, it was very different from the one he first met.
"I just came to return something to you, and also the two hundred thousand," Ye Shaohua didn’t leave immediately, but handed two bank cards to Liao Yizhou, "Sorry for the disturbance."
After making sure Liao Yizhou had taken them, she turned and walked toward the main road, gradually disappearing from Liao Yizhou’s sight.
Liao Yizhou had thought Ye Shaohua would confront him, make a scene...
He even had his phone at the ready, prepared to call the security guard, but nothing of the sort happened.
She didn’t confront him, just left him with two bank cards.
One was the one he had his assistant give her, and the other... the bank card he had given her in the past.
Such a simple resolution to the biggest crisis between him and Zhao Yijun would normally be a reason for joy, yet Liao Yizhou felt no such elation, even feeling a tightness in his chest, a vague irritation rising from his heart.
"Why aren’t you going in?" Pu Zhehan thought Ye Shaohua was still making trouble outside. When he went out, he saw Liao Yizhou lost in thought.
Liao Yizhou looked down at the two bank cards in his hand, "She came to give me this."
It was the money he used to spend on her, including the breakup fee.
"She gave back the two hundred thousand and the breakup fee?" Pu Zhehan had never seen someone like that, and he felt it rather strange, "Speaking of which, wasn’t Ye Shaohua almost out of that two hundred thousand? How does she have the money to pay you back?"
Liao Yizhou was also astonished; he had thought that after being with him for so long, Ye Shaohua had become gradually vain, demanding two hundred thousand just like that.
Yet now that he thought about it, aside from that sum, he really hadn’t spent much on her.
Recently, when passing by the mall, he had always thought about how certain clothes would look on her, buying her quite a few outfits and bags, but she had neither worn them nor taken them with her; they were still at his place.
In the past, he never bothered to know about Ye Shaohua’s business. Those things used to be delivered to him as soon as he asked for them.
When Ye Shaohua asked to borrow two hundred thousand from him, he was displeased and looked down on her for it. But during the time they spent together recently, he realized she was a very self-reliant person.
If it hadn’t been for an unavoidable situation, she wouldn’t have asked to borrow the money.
This was evident from the fact that she preferred to wear faded clothes rather than accept the things he bought for her.
Having bought nothing for herself, where had she spent the two hundred thousand?
Even at the birthday party that evening, his mind wandered repeatedly.
When it came time to cut the cake and Zhao Yijun got cake on her clothes, Liao Yizhou even handed her a new ladies’ dress with the tag still attached to change into.
Seeing this, Yi Xian and the others teased her again.
In addition, they felt somewhat emotional that the notorious playboy Liao Yizhou had also met his match.
In front of others, Zhao Yijun also appeared happy, but the moment she was alone in the bathroom, her expression shifted.
As a woman, she could naturally tell; the size of the dress wasn’t hers—it was one size too small.
It happened to be perfect for Ye Shaohua, who was slimmer than she was.
There were clothes that belonged to Ye Shaohua at Liao Yizhou’s place.
Just thinking about it made Zhao Yijun want to tear the dress in her hands to shreds.

"Shaohua, Shaohua, how on earth did you figure these three bull stocks out! Tell! Me!" If it weren’t for being in the company, the dorm boss almost jumped up.
She sent Ye Shaohua several shaking message windows to express her excitement.
After asking Ye Shaohua if the stocks she discovered could still hit the limit, she added half of her assets into the investment.
After they finished their tasks, the manager of their Planning Department came looking for them, sounding very pleased, "The case you two worked on yesterday has caught the interest of our partners."
Having promising newcomers in the department meant a boost to the manager’s bonus, and the commission from this case was nothing to sneeze at. Of course, she was happy.
With two pieces of good news coming in one after another, the boss could hardly contain her excitement.
Their internship was at a major corporation, where even internships were highly competitive. If she and Ye Shaohua made a mark, they would definitely be hired on permanently in three months.
Securing a full-time position at such a company was already wonderful news for a fresh graduate.
"Work hard. At two this afternoon, you two will come with me to meet the investors."
The boss was hardly able to hide her excitement during lunch, "Shaohua, why aren’t you excited? But Shaohua, you really deserve credit for this case."
"It’s okay," Ye Shaohua set down her chopsticks after just a couple of bites; the original owner of her body had a stomachache issue, and eating too much made her stomach uncomfortable.
As a Ye Shaohua who in the past could earn commissions of several hundred thousand for a single case, this indeed didn’t excite her much.
Ye Shaohua and her waited until two in the afternoon, finally seeing their Planning Department manager.
But the manager’s face didn’t look good. She looked at the boss, who was full of anticipation, and then at the indifferent Ye Shaohua, her face complicated: "The case has been taken over by Manager Zhao."
