Chapter 46 – Doubt
The two women were full of vigor and vitality when they walked out of the ward and the two men who were bickering and waiting outside were very surprised .
“Were the two of you possessed by evil spirits while in the room?” Yin Ze lifted his eyebrows and asked .
Gao Yu Lan slapped him on his arm . “Don’t talk nonsense . It’s just that we have re-planned our life goals . ” Beside her, Chen Ruo Yu laughed and nodded fiercely in agreement .
Yin Ze pulled Gao Yu Lan into his arms . “Do you still need to plan? Your goal in life is me, ah! Quickly get a ring to bind me! Once and for all, your goal will be achieved and your heart will be free from anxiety . ”
“No way . ” Gao Yu Lan shoved the crutch into his arms . “I want to settle old grudges, advance my career, and become a woman with self-esteem and be self-reliant before I will consider you . ”
“Oh……” Yin Ze lamented . “When you rejected me mercilessly, you already have self-esteem and is already self-reliant . ”
Chen Ruo Yu burst out into laughter . “Lan Lan, that self-esteem and self-reliant…… . just leave them for me to develop . Just settle your old grudges and your meal ticket* and it will be fine . ”
(Meal ticket means someone who can be depended upon for financial support and this usually refers to a husband . )
“Aiyo……listen, listen to those wise and far-sighted words . ” Chen Ruo Yu’s words filled Yin Ze with enthusiasm . “Meal ticket…… . is so important, I like the words . ‘Lan Lan’s meal ticket ‘are such pleasant words . ”
“Don’t show off . ” Gao Yu Lan wanted to laugh very much but had to hold back to teach him a lesson . “This is the hospital, be serious . ”
“I’m serious . A meal ticket is a serious topic which is broad and deep with profound meaning . ” Yin Ze pretended to act seriously . “Quickly get a ring for your meal ticket, quickly marry your meal ticket and take him home and quickly give your meal ticket a kiss . ” Then he pouted his lips like he was waiting for a kiss .
Gao Yu Lan wanted to punch him . This man really loves to act . Before she could make a move, Meng Gu who was standing by the side, said . “Little chick ass . ”
Yin Ze withdrew his pouting lips and glared at Meng Gu . “Cold ass, are you feeling lonely?”
So, a nickname is blindly created just to accompany him, is it?
Meng Gu calmly took out his cell phone and keyed in a pouting emoticon: -3-
Then he showed it to Yin Ze . “Like a little chick ass with all its feathers plucked out . ”
Yin was speechless as he stared at the screen . Gao Yu Lan curiously took the cell phone from Meng Gu and looked at the screen . With a ‘Puchi…‘ she laughed out and Chen Ruo Yu also looked over at the same time . She glanced at Yin Ze and then she also started to laugh .
Yin Ze glared fiercely at Meng Gu and snorted . “This time you won . Your imagination is too evil that no one can match . ”
Meng Gu lifted his eyebrows and put the phone back into his pocket with a satisfied smile . Yin Ze obliquely threw him a glance and refused to concede defeat . He called out to Gao Yu Lan and Chen Ruo Yu, saying that they should go back as he wanted to discuss the matter of the meal ticket . The two girls walked arm in arm in front while Meng Gu and Yin Ze slowly followed behind . The two men bickered until they reached the hospital entrance and the winner of the new round has yet to be announced .
Meng Gu went to get his car and while waiting for him, Chen Ruo Yu called back to her company to inform them that she was discharged . She also said that she would be back to work as soon as possible . Her colleagues told her that her client who was involved in the dispute had just called the company . Since Chen Ruo Yu’s old phone number could not be reached therefore he had called the company but the client did not tell them anything . So, her colleagues had given her new phone number to the client .
After Chen Ruo Yu hung up the phone, she wanted to call her client but did not expect that person to call her first . When Meng Gu’s car arrived, Yin Ze was the first person to get in due to his injured foot and Gao Yu Lan stood by the side to wait for Chen Ruo Yu to finish her call .
Chen Ruo Yu was on the phone for a long time and as she talked, her eyes gradually became red which made Gao Yu Lan a bit worried . After the call ended, Chen Ruo Yu rushed over to Gao Yu Lan, hugged her and exclaimed . “Lan Lan, my client said he will introduce his friends to buy insurance from me! He said spending money to buy insurance is easy but to get sincere concern and help is not easy and he thanked me . Lan Lan, I’m happy, I’m really very happy . As I’ve said, there’s always a reward for every action, right? There’s nothing wrong with selling insurance and I like this job . Lan Lan, I’m so happy . ”
The two girls jumped and laughed with happiness . Meng Gu could not help but stick out his neck and shouted . “Get in the car first, you can chat later!”
So the two excited and happy girls got into the car and chatted joyfully all along the way about their dreams for their career . One fisted her hands and said she must work hard to be the number one in the insurance industry and make her parents proud while the other one said she will make Suixin Yuan become city’s most famous salon and earn more money than Food Restaurant .
The two ‘Mr . Ass’ were completely ignored and they could not even put in a word . They could only look at each other and silently sighed .
When Gao Yu Lan saw the car was about to reach her house, she asked . “Ruo Yu, since you have just been discharged from the hospital, you need someone to take care of you . Why don’t you stay with me?”
“What about me?” Before waiting for Chen Ruo Yu’s answer, Yin Ze spoke up first .
“You can go back and stay in your big house . ”

“No, I like to stay in a small house . ”
“I don’t care . ”
There was a look of unhappiness on Yin Ze’s face and before the couple could start to quarrel, Chen Ruo Yu said . “No, no……I ‘m sharing a room with another girl . When I go back, I will have someone to take care of me . Don’t make yourselves unhappy over this matter . I’m fine, don’t worry . ”
Gao Yu Lan wanted to continue arguing but Yin Ze praised Ruo Yu happily . “Ruo Yu fellow student, I’m beginning to appreciate you more and more . ”
“You’re welcome . Since Boss Yin appreciates this talent then Boss Yin should assist this talent . ” Chen Ruo Yu smiled and made an honest request without any courtesy . “I will place some insurance promotional materials with my business card in Boss Yin’s restaurant lobby for your customers to read and I’m sure Boss Yin will not mind, right?”
The smile on Yin Ze’s face froze . “You are really like a lion with a wide-open mouth*, ah . ”
(A lion with a wide-open mouth is a person who demands something excessive or exorbitant in value . )
“No, no . ” Chen Ruo Yu maintained the smile on her face . “I’m just placing some reading material in the restaurant and Boss Yin will not suffer even the slightest loss . I gave up some friendship and nourishment in exchange for a little career incentive which is not considered as too excessive, isn’t that right?”
“Right, that’s right . ” Yin Ze gritted his teeth .
Thus, in this way, with the exchange of mutual benefits, Yin Ze was able to fulfill his wishes and wormed his way back to Gao Yu Lan’s house .
However, Gao Yu Lan did not make any effort to be intimate with him because her heart was full of passion for career advancement and she started to seriously work on Suixin Yuan’s business plan . She gathered from Yin Ze an in-depth understanding of the Farm and Food Restaurant’s business and resources . She visited several clubs in the city, a few bars with special features, and various salons to study their business .
Since Mr . Lame Leg Yin Ze was injured, he could not accompany her to run around but he arranged a car with someone as a driver to ferry her on her errands running all over the place . Then every night, he would wait for her to come back and complain to her that he was being neglected . At the same time, he would ask Miss Gao Yu Lan when she was going to marry him… . .
“Why are you so anxious to get married? I only just started to fall in love . ” This was the answer Miss Gao gave him .
“Some people dislike the fact that I am 30 years old and if this drags on, I will become older . If someone doesn’t want me anymore, what should I do?”
“Don’t talk nonsense . ” Gao Yu Lan had just come out from a club, she had a new idea in her heart and her mood was good . So when Yin Ze’s call came in talking about nonsensical things, she happily chatted idly with him .

“In the future, you’re not to touch my wrinkles . Actually, I don’t have any but because you’ve touched me, my skin became wrinkled . ” Yin Ze was full of complaints . “You’re also not to mention my age nor mention your age and also when are you taking me home to meet my father-in-law and my mother-in-law?”
“You are exaggerating . Do you have to be so anxious?” Gao Yu Lan replied . “Wait until I finish this phase then we’ll talk about it . ”
“But you still have a lot to do . ”
“Don’t talk in that grudging tone like a husband . You were the one who hired me as a Manager and if I can produce good results, you will earn money, isn’t it?”
“If you become my wife, I will still earn . ” Yin Ze smiled . “And you still complain I’m a complaining husband, oh…… . but it’s okay as long as you admit I’m your husband . But in view that I am a weak and insecure man, so it’s still better to have legal protection . Right, there is also a piece of good news to be reported . ”
“What?”
“My foot doesn’t hurt anymore . ”
“Good, then are you moving out?”
“Oh……you are very heartless . ” Yin Ze began to play-act again . “I beg you, be more ruthless, quickly come back to ravage me and defile me . ”
Gao Yu Lan blushed . “Don’t mess around . ”
Yin Ze laughed . “Then are you coming back?”
“I still want to go back to the shop and take a look . ”
“Don’t go, come back soon . Are you not done yet? Do you have any ideas that you want to discuss with me?”
Anyway, the right thing to do now is to coax her to come back soon .

“Okay, okay, I’ll come back now . ” Gao Yu Lan promised and talked to him for a little while more . After she hung up, she got into the car which was waiting for her at the side of the road .
The driver, Xiao Fang, asked . “Sister Lan, are you going back now? Just now the Boss called and asked me . ”
Gao Yu Lan continued to blush . This rogue is really annoying! It seems men must not be idle, once they are idle they like to check on their partners . Just as she was about to tell Xiao Fang to send her home, her phone rang .
She picked up her phone to look . It was Chen Ruo Yu .
“Lan Lan, listen to me……I found out about a few things . These few days I entrusted Yang Yang to casually enquire from our old classmates about the past . As you know, her relationship with them is still good and she just called me . She said that the male classmate you brought back with you, Liu Wei Ping had earlier asked Chen Pang and Li Zi about your relationship with Zheng Tao . He told them that he heard the relationship between the both of you was not good and asked them whether the rumor was true or not . ”
“What does that mean?” Gao Yu Lan did not understand .
“Lan Lan, at that time, why did Zheng Tao say he heard that you were having an affair with Liu Wei Ping? And why did Liu Wei Ping say he heard the relationship between you and Zheng Tao was not good? If Qi Na could tell lies at the scene to frame you, why couldn’t she have done something really bad before that incident happened and also spread the rumors about you?” Chen Ruo Yu said . “It may look unkind to make guesses like this or perhaps make her look very bad but I still think the possibility of Qi Na doing such things is extremely great . ”
Gao Yu Lan was in a daze for a long while and felt upset . “Why did she do that? Why did they believe her?”
“Everyone is clear why she did that . You can see she had gotten the result she desired . Maybe whatever Qi Na said, was what the two men desired in their hearts, so they were willing to believe . Zheng Tao felt guilty because his feelings for you had waned and wanted to push the blame on you . And Liu Wei Ping was interested in you, so of course, he hoped you and Zheng Tao would be unhappy with each other . ”
Gao Yu Lan did not speak . So this whole thing did not happen accidentally? So it was not that Liu Wei Ping was impolite and let other people witnessed the scene and then it gave Qi Na the opportunity to take advantage?
How bad can a person’s heart be? How sinister can a person’s mind be? She and Qi Na were classmates from elementary school until high school and they were also good friends…… .
Gao Yu Lan was overwhelmed with sadness and she looked out the window . Chen Ruo Yu’s voice continued on the phone . “Lan Lan, are you still listening?”
“I’m listening . ” Gao Yu Lan whispered . At the same time, the car stopped at a red light . Gao Yu Lan was about to speak to Chen Ruo Yu when she suddenly spotted two women standing in front of a street café . One of them had her back facing Gao Yu Lan and it looked a bit familiar while the other directly facing Gao Yu Lan had a familiar face……Wen Sha .
Wen Sha who was standing in front of the woman and had a gentle smile on her face with her eyes revealing her affection . Gao Yu Lan often sees this expression on Yin Ze’s face and she felt it represented love .
The car started to move and Gao Yu Lan’s heart jumped rapidly . That woman’s back view was familiar to her but her mind was a little confused and she could not recall who that woman was .
