Capítulo 40: You Found Her!
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The dinner resumed after Bao Bao left with Yu Shujun.
It was a lively meal with three adults and one child.
He Yi raised her glass and said smilingly, "Thanks to all of your efforts, the leather factory is finally ready to be opened tomorrow! Both of you have done a good job, cheers!"
"Oh, stop it, we're friends!" Wei Jiameng laughed as she finished her glass of wine.
"It's my job to serve you!" Ji Xueshan also finished her glass.
"I don't feel alone in this battle when the both of you are with me!" said He Yi as she finished her glass. Then, she looked up to meet Wei Jiameng's eyes, "Jiameng, how are you feeling after today?"
Wei Jiameng was exhausted but happy when asked about her achievements that day. "To be honest, I have never done so much in a day since young so I was pretty disoriented. I'm lucky that you were there to guide me so I didn't make many mistakes. I am exhausted, but I feel fulfilled!"
There was a unique brilliance on Wei Jiameng's face. Unlike her usual listless look from muddling along her time, she became confident and lively. A busy woman will be happy, regardless of whether she is married!
He Yi curved her lips slightly, Wei Jiameng's status and performance were even better than she expected. It seemed like her decision to let Wei Jiameng help her out in the factory was a correct one!
Wei Jiameng would be getting earnings instead of gratuitous pay from her from that day onward. She becacme her friend and superior instead of her benefactor. They became on equal footing and their friendship would not turn sour.
He Yi's phone vibrated and she took it to check, Yu Shujun sent her two text messages on WeChat. She hesitated for a while before clicking on them.
Yu Shujun sent her a short clip with a simple caption.
In the clip, Yu Shujun took Bao Bao to a booth in the restaurant and Yi Liangze was sitting there. With the sumptuous French cuisine dishes arranged on the table, it seemed like he was waiting for Yu Shujun and Bao Bao.
Bao Bao greeted his father happily as he ran into Yi Liangze's arms and the clip ended. The caption after the clip was "We reached!".
'We…' He Yi recollected the word and smiled with a hint of hurt. As a woman, she definitely understood the meaning behind Yu Shujun's words.
She was declaring that she had an uncommonly close relationship with Yi Liangze and his son.
That was the truth! The two were accompanying her for dinner, which proved that they had a special relationship.
"Who is it?" Wei Jiameng asked out of curiosity.
He Yi placed her phone down and replied nonchalantly, "It's nothing. Let's eat!"

A waiter pushed a three-tier birthday cake with a dining car into the quietest booth in Red House French Restaurant and the dining table was packed with a sumptuous French cuisine feast.
"Wow! When did you prepare this?" Yu Shujun clasped her hands together happily like a little girl.
Yi Liangze's reaction was deprecating, "It's just a cake, all I did was make a call. You don't need to have such a big reaction!"
A faint blush appeared on Yu Shujun's pretty cheeks as her eyes shone, "I really am surprised! Thank you, Liangze!"
"Happy birthday, Aunt Yu!" shouted Bao Bao as he took out a jewelry box the size of a disk wrapped delicately in black and gold before presenting it to Yu Shujun and announced with a smile, "Daddy and I picked this for you!"
Genuine surprise was seen in Yu Shujun's expression. With one look at the extravagant jewelry box, she could already tell that it was extremely expensive. "You don't have to get me a gift!"
"It's just a tiny present from Bao Bao and me!" Yi Liangze continued smilingly, "Open it!"
Yu Shujun took deep breaths to suppress her raging emotions because that was the first time Yi Liangze gave her accessory and she had no idea what was in the box. 'Is it a necklace or a bracelet? It can't be a ring, right?' She would wear it on her all the time regardless of what it was.
She finally opened the box and she stared intensely at the item in the box, her surprise turned into shock. It was a crown barette!
It was an extravagant accessory without a doubt! The crown was made from platinum with crystal clear diamonds inlaid to show off its lavishness and value.
However, it seemed only appropriate to be worn during grander events like dinners or cocktail parties. It would be a little too much to be worn on normal days.
"Do you like it?" asked Yi Liangze with a light smile.
Yu Shujun who was staring at the barette in a daze pulled herself back and gave him a smile. "It's too expensive!"
"It's fine as long as you like it." Yi Liangze assumed that she was happy with the gift as he thought that women always liked expensive accessories and Yu Shujun was not an exception.
She blew on candles, made wishes, and cut the cake after the gift session.
Yu Shujun's smile was a little forced. "You seem to be in a hurry."
Yi Liangze was slightly shocked, "You can tell?"
"..." Yu Shujun reminded him dejectedly, "It's my birthday, don't forget that!"
She had been expecting him to stay with her during her birthdays in the past few years because the person who should do that was no longer there so she thought that he had a responsibility to be with her on his behalf.
Yi Liangze became silent for a while, there was a hint of solemn in his dark eyes when he looked up. "Shujun, perhaps it's time for you to find someone new who will stay with you on your birthdays!"
It was like her heart was crushed. Yu Shujun's eyes bulged abruptly in disbelief. 'Is it because of He Yi?' She forced the question back the moment it emerged. 'It can't be it, He Yi is no one!' Even Yi Liangze was interested in her, he would not have the thought of being together with her forever in such short timing.
Like her, he had been lonely for a long time while waiting on someone who would never appear even if he waited for the rest of his life!
As time passed, their hopes became thinner and thinner. They had been together and comforted each other whenever they felt lonely. Although their relationship never went overboard throughout these years, she believed that they were more than friends and they were getting close to being a couple!
Of course, those were only Yu Shujun's thoughts which Yi Liangze never approved.
She knew that she would always be his brother's woman in his eyes and he had been treating her with respect as he felt obligated to do. However, she had been believing that things would change slowly with time.
She never thought that there would be a day that he would say such a thing to her. He suggested she look for someone as he might not be able to be with her on her future birthdays anymore!
There was dead silence. Only Bao Bao was enthusiastically looking for a number candle matching her age to be put on her birthday cake.
Yu Shujun finally managed to speak after a while. "You found her!"
There was certainty in her tone!
