Love You Till the End-Chapter 882 - 881: Could She Really Be Selling Herself?

Actually, she had just woken up and was planning to go to the bathroom when she happened to pass by here. Seeing Su Jiuyi, she called her name without much thought and then belatedly realized there was another person present.

Interrupting someone else’s conversation is not a polite thing to do.

Su Jiuyi walked up to Qi Jingren and gave her a reassuring smile, "It’s okay, I didn’t want to talk to that person anyway."

"Do you know Shi Aoju?" Qi Jingren asked curiously.

Shi Aoju?

Su Jiuyi looked at her with a face full of confusion, "How do you know his name?"

"He’s the behind-the-scenes boss of Ciaos," Qi Jingren replied truthfully, "He sometimes comes here to inspect the work."

The boss of Ciaos?

Su Jiuyi was slightly surprised and almost dropped the bucket of water she was holding.

She remembered that morning when she left his room, she said that the uniform she was wearing wasn’t his, so she didn’t take any of his money. Thinking back, it was truly absurd.

Not to mention the uniform, even the place she was standing on belonged to him, as did the tools she held, the wages she was desperately earning—everything belonged to him.

This was really terrifying.

How did she end up being connected with such an important figure...

"Jiuyi?"

Qi Jingren waved a hand in front of her eyes, and Su Jiuyi immediately snapped back into reality, "I don’t know him. I just accidentally bumped into him while cleaning, and right after I apologized, you came."

Qi Jingren didn’t say anything and wasn’t very interested in whether the two actually knew each other. After handing over her shift to Su Jiuyi, she left Ciaos.

After Su Manning’s engagement ceremony ended, her friends gathered with her in the room to look at last night’s photos.

"Song Zhike is really handsome," one of the friends said, "Much better than in pictures, Man Ning, you’re truly lucky."

Su Manning blushed shyly, lowered her head, and looked at her engagement ring.

Actually, it was also her first time truly meeting Song Zhike yesterday. Describing him as gentle and refined was very fitting indeed.

Throughout the engagement party, he maintained a moderate smile, elegant and poised like jade.

However, there was very little communication between them. Although he would sometimes hold her to put on a show of intimacy in front of others to please both sets of parents, in reality, they were very formal and distant. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Su Manning remembered last night when he whispered in her ear, "Sometimes, you don’t need to take the requirements of parents too seriously. Let’s get through this period first, and I’ll find a way to cancel this engagement. You don’t need to worry."

Since he had no intention of developing the relationship further, she saw no need to bother trying to cultivate feelings with him.

"By the way, why didn’t we see Su Jiuyi yesterday?"

Su Manning was also puzzled. Yesterday, Su Jiuyi’s name was clearly on the guest book, and it was in her handwriting, but she never saw her from start to finish.

"I saw her yesterday," one friend said mysteriously, "I saw her standing very close with a man outside the bathroom. That man was also very handsome and wore branded suits. Even the watch on his wrist was worth tens of thousands."

"More handsome than Song Zhike?"

"Um... not the same style," the person pondered for a while, "That man had a very strong aura, maybe he’s some big shot."

"With Su Jiuyi like that, what big shot would be interested in her? Maybe she’s really gone out to sell herself..."

The group of people chattered on, and Su Manning bit her lip, her expression somewhat dazed.
