Endless Fall-Chapter 45 - Your Mind Is Occupied by That Person

Pei Yilan’s eyes lit up.

She knew how important Lin Jiao was to Zhou Yanshen and he would definitely keep it a secret. “If you didn’t tell me, I would have forgotten about him!”

Lin Jiao twirled a few strands of her hair and teased, “I think these days, your mind is entirely occupied by that person.”

“No, I still have you in my heart.” Pei Yilan leaned on her shoulder and smiled brightly. “Friendship comes first, love comes second.” 𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮

“Cut it out.”

“Really! It’s not like I care about my lover more than my friend.”

Lin Jiao believed her for the time being.

She dried her wet hair. When they walked out together hand in hand, they happened to see Zhou Yanshen, who was going to the washroom, so they followed him.

“Jiaojiao, what’s wrong?”

“I have something to ask of you.”

“Don’t hold back? Just tell me.” Zhou Yanshen shook off the water on his hand and brought her to an empty spot.

Lin Jiao briefly explained what happened to Pei Yilan.

After hearing the whole story, Zhou Yanshen raised an eyebrow. “You want me to help her get back the money?”

“Let’s find that person first.”

“Do you have a photo of him?”

“Yes.” Lin Jiao opened the chat history and sent him the photo screenshot from the surveillance camera footage. “How long will it take you to find him?” 𝘧𝒓e𝑒𝑤e𝙗𝚗o𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝐜𝐨ｍ

“Three days.” Zhou Yanshen looked at the photo before sending it to his assistant. “Isn’t she afraid that this man might not be a good guy?”

“How?”

“It could be that he approached her intentionally to achieve a certain goal.”

“I don’t think so.” In comparison, Lin Jiao felt that he was more likely to be a deadbeat.

“I can’t say for sure.” Zhou Yanshen had seen many dirty things, so it was inevitable that he would overthink.

After all, with the Pei family’s status, it was not unlikely that people would try to get close to Pei Yilan with purpose.

“Let’s find him first.” Lin Jiao turned off the screen. “If he really is up to no good, I believe Yilan will be rational enough to stop this relationship.”

“I hope so.” He didn’t say anything else.

When they returned to the open-air garden, Lin Jiao suddenly stopped him and reminded him in a low voice, “Brother Yan, don’t tell anyone.”

“Got you.” Zhou Yanshen rubbed her head.

Their interaction made Pei Zhi envious. Unfortunately, he could not be so intimate with her in front of the others.

He took a deep breath and poured a glass of fruit wine for her.

“Drink less.” He was afraid she would get drunk again.

“Okay.” Lin Jiao smiled, her eyes reflecting the chandelier. It was mesmerizing.

Pei Zhi rubbed his eyes to pull his wandering mind back before continuing the game.

They played until almost midnight before putting down their glasses.

Before they separated, Zhou Yanshen called out to them, “The charity banquet I’m holding is on Friday. Remember to come.”

“No problem.”

Pei Yilan, who was drunk, waved at the couple who was gradually walking away and ran over to grab Chu Yuzhou’s collar.

“Where’s your car?” She seemed to have forgotten what had happened between them and treated him as usual.

Chu Yuzhou said, “On the right.”

“Then help me over.” Pei Yilan leaned against him weakly, too exhausted to walk.

“Why should I?”

“Because I’m pretty!”

Chu Yuzhou had never seen such a shameless person.

He was forced to hold her. After bidding goodbye to the rest of them, he leaned over and stuffed Pei Yilan into the back seat before getting into the passenger seat and waiting for the designated driver to come and drive.

When Lin Jiao heard them bickering, she shook her head helplessly. “They’re really born enemies.”
