The meal was quite satisfying.

After eating, Jiang Ran stood up; she wanted to pay the bill.

Chen Bing originally wanted to argue with Jiang Ran over it, but he was stopped by Wang Cuilan and couldn’t insist on standing up, so he had to give up.

Jiang Ran opened the door of the private room and went out, where a waiter was standing.

Upon hearing that Jiang Ran wanted to pay the bill, the waiter led her downstairs.

Downstairs, at the checkout counter, there happened to be no one there.

The waiter told the cashier the private room number, and Jiang Ran waited to pay.

"Is it you?"

Upon hearing the voice, Jiang Ran frowned and didn’t turn her head, just thinking to quickly pay the bill and leave.

Unexpectedly, even such a brief moment of paying the bill could result in a disturbance.

"It’s you! Jiang Ran! It is you! Why aren’t you speaking? Even if you don’t speak, I know it’s you. Why did you come to beishi?"

Jiang Ran, "..."

The person who was speaking incessantly was none other than Jiang Yi.

Jiang Ran also didn’t understand, why she had just arrived in beishi, went to have a meal, and happened to run into Jiang Yi.

Is this fate?

Even if it is fate, it’s ill-fated.

At this moment, the cashier finally finished calculating the bill, Jiang Ran took out the money to pay, and turned around to leave.

She was planning to leave already, now she needed to hurry up even more, without any delay.

Jiang Ran turned around and walked to the stairway, pretending not to see Jiang Yi.

Seeing this, Jiang Yi didn’t understand what it meant to least wish to meet an acquaintance and quickly followed behind Jiang Ran.

"Jiang Ran, don’t go! I’m talking to you, why aren’t you responding?"

"We haven’t seen each other for a while, why is your temper even worse than before?"

"Not only is your temper bad, but don’t you even have manners anymore?"

Listening to Jiang Yi’s continued chatter behind her, Jiang Ran was growing impatient.

Most importantly, Jiang Ran didn’t want to lead Jiang Yi back to their private room.

Jiang Ran suddenly stopped, and Jiang Yi, not expecting it, continued walking briskly, nearly colliding with her.

However, when Jiang Yi was about to bump into her, Jiang Ran agilely sidestepped to avoid her.

Jiang Yi, "..."

Jiang Yi finally steadied herself and looked at Jiang Ran with a reproachful gaze.

"What’s wrong with you? I called you and you didn’t stop; now you suddenly stopped without saying anything, and I nearly fell. Not only did you not help, but you also dodged aside."

Jiang Yi continued to grumble, and the more Jiang Ran listened, the more impatient she became.

She had stopped, not to listen to Jiang Yi’s pointless talk.

"What exactly do you want?" Jiang Ran asked directly.

Perhaps realizing Jiang Ran’s mood was off, Jiang Yi stopped rambling.

"I just wanted to ask, why did you come to beishi? When did you come? Why are you having dinner here today? Did you come specifically because you knew everyone would be here?"

Jiang Ran gave Jiang Yi a cold glance, "If you’re sick, go see a doctor. Don’t think that paranoia isn’t an illness."

"I’m not sick! Jiang Ran, can’t you speak properly?"

Jiang Ran let out a cold laugh, "You’re the one who doesn’t understand human speech. Is beishi your family’s? I can’t come? Did you open this restaurant? I can’t eat here? As for the people you mentioned, I don’t know who you’re talking about, nor am I interested. If you hadn’t chased after me, I’d be on my way home by now."

Listening to Jiang Ran’s words, Jiang Yi finally calmed down.
