370: Zhang Rui's ex-girlfriend
"Jiali, was that Zhang Rui just now?"
One of the two fashionable women, holding a drink, asked the other woman uncertainly.
The woman who was asked also had eyes full of doubt: "If I'm not mistaken, it should be him."
"He was driving a maybach, did he strike it rich?"
"No way, it's only been a little over a year, and I heard he's still working at that company."
"Jiali, if he really struck it rich, would you regret breaking up with him?"
"If he really struck it rich, then the conditions I brought up before would be nothing to him."
The woman who was asked narrowed her eyes, looking at the intersection where the maybach's taillights were no longer visible, her gaze revealing complex emotions... They say a woman's intuition is very accurate. A few minutes after Zhang Rui drove away.
Su Yao gathered her thoughts for a moment, then asked, "Zhang Rui, you seem to know those two women just now."
Who knew her probing question would be met with Zhang Rui's direct response.
"Yes, one of them is my ex-girlfriend."
Zhang Rui's frankness left Su Yao, who had a belly full of things to say, at a loss for words.
After a long while, she gave two dry laughs: "Both of them are quite pretty, which one was it?"
"The one in the brown dress."
Zhang Rui's eyes were fixed on the road ahead.
Su Yao was immediately exasperated; she had only met them briefly, and she noticed Zhang Rui's gaze seemed to shift uncomfortably.
Yet, she hadn't expected Zhang Rui to clearly see what kind of dress the other person was wearing.
However, thinking that Zhang Rui hadn't tried to hide it.
Su Yao cheered herself up again: "It's okay, Zhang Rui, what's past is past, let's look forward."
"Mm!"
Zhang Rui responded emphatically.
Seeing that Zhang Rui's expression seemed a bit wistful.
Su Yao comforted him: "You have to think, it's his loss to leave you. Seeing the world clearly will only make us live more earnestly."
It seemed her words had an effect.
Zhang Rui finally spoke: "Yaoyao, you're right, all the past experiences just prove that she wasn't worth it."
At this point, he seemed a little agitated, moving his hand from the gear shift and tightly grasping Su Yao's hand.
"Yaoyao, I will give you a better life in the future."
"Let go quickly, we'll get fined if we're caught."
"Oh, oh!"
Zhang Rui hastily put his hands back on the steering wheel.
The fines in Singapore left him with lingering fear, so after Su Yao reminded him, he quickly returned to driving with both hands.
Zhang Rui's sense of direction was still quite good.
He followed his memory all the way back to Amo Residences on Orchard Road. This maybach was registered in Amo Residences's parking system.
So he drove back to the project effortlessly.
After parking the car in its original spot, Zhang Rui let out a breath.
Today's drive was a bit exciting.
He even ran into his ex-girlfriend, but driving a maybach past her felt really good.
Zhang Rui recalled that famous internet saying, "If you ignore me today, you won't be able to afford me tomorrow."
Perhaps he should also have such confidence now.
"You should call Qinghe, where should we go?"
Su Yao sat beside him, watching Zhang Rui's expression change for a while, but he still hadn't taken her out of the car.
She had no choice but to remind him proactively.
"Oh, right, right, I'll call He Zai right away."
Li Qinghe was a little surprised to receive the call, as Zhang Rui and Su Yao had returned so early, but he quickly told him the floor and room number.
"Unit C on the 35th floor."
Zhang Rui quickly told Su Yao the floor.
After the two got out of the car, Zhang Rui locked it with a flourish.
Su Yao naturally came over and linked her arm through his.
"Let's go, wife, let's go see the mansion."
Zhang Rui's face regained that spirited expression.
"Let's go!" Su Yao also playfully rolled her eyes at him.
The two arrived at the lobby and found the butler there, explaining the floor they wanted to go to: "Mr. Li has already given instructions."
The waiting butler respectfully led the two to the elevator for unit C and swiped their floor card for them.
"This is the service of a luxury home."
Su Yao felt a little emotional. If it weren't for Li Qinghe, she wondered if they would have had the chance to visit such a top-tier mansion in Singapore before returning to China.
The elevator went straight to the 35th floor, and as soon as they exited, they could see the open armored door.
Li Qinghe had already opened the door and was waiting for them.
Zhang Rui and Su Yao walked in curiously.
"Wow!"
Seeing the high-ceilinged living room, Su Yao let out a small gasp of surprise.
Such a mansion indeed perfectly matched her idea of what a luxury home should be.
From a hundred meters high, overlooking the streetscape of Singapore, a feeling of being able to see all the small mountains below naturally arose.
"Brother, sister-in-law, you two can just live here from now on. It will be convenient for work later."
Li Qinghe smiled as he showed Zhang Rui and Su Yao around the entire house.
"Qinghe, there's something I'd like to ask your opinion on."
Su Yao thought of what she and Zhang Rui had discussed earlier and decided to bring it up herself.
"Sister-in-law, you speak, I'm listening."
"It's about this house. After my brother and I move in, can my roommate also live here?"
Su Yao then explained in detail to Li Qinghe the relationship between her and Liao Yuting.
She said that the two of them had supported each other throughout these past few years.
If she and Zhang Rui moved out, Liao Yuting would be left alone, and the rent pressure would be very great for her.
After Su Yao mentioned Liao Yuting, Li Qinghe didn't object.
However, he made one request to Su Yao: Liao Yuting could live here, but she couldn't bring her boyfriend to stay overnight.
Regarding this point, Li Qinghe felt it was important to clarify beforehand.
It was normal for Zhang Rui and Su Yao to live here.
If Liao Yuting moved in and also brought her boyfriend to stay overnight, that would not be a very appropriate thing to do.
Mainly, when she first heard Li Qinghe say he had a request, her heart was a little tense.
She even thought that if Li Qinghe didn't agree, she simply wouldn't move in and would continue to live with Liao Yuting in that apartment.
However, she hadn't expected that the request Li Qinghe made would be this.
Thinking that Liao Yuting still didn't have a boyfriend.
She couldn't help but laugh.
"I originally wanted to set you two up, but I didn't expect you wouldn't take to her."
"But with your conditions, Liao Yuting is indeed reaching too high. I'll agree to this condition on behalf of Liao Yuting."
Su Yao, who had been with Liao Yuting for several years, was very clear about Liao Yuting's character and way of doing things.
Bringing a boyfriend to stay overnight while living in someone else's home was not something Liao Yuting would do.
"This is my only request; for everything else, you are free to do as you please."
Li Qinghe helped Su Yao and Zhang Rui register their fingerprints into the entire access control system in the living room.
From now on, returning here would be as convenient as returning to their own home.
