Chapter 233 This damn transmigration story!
Qin Reng nodded, opened the car door, and gestured for her to get in.
The car drove smoothly through the night, the cabin quiet except for the faint sounds of the engine and the air conditioning vents.
Yu Yuetong leaned back in her chair, exhausted, her eyelids drooping.
Suddenly, a rapid cell phone ring broke the silence.
Qin Reng picked up his phone, glanced at it, frowned slightly, and then handed it to Yu Yuetong. "It's Grandma on the phone."
Yu Yuetong instantly snapped out of her daze, took the phone, and said, "Hello, Grandma."
"Xiaotong, where are you and Reng'er now?" Old Madam Qin's concerned voice came from the other end of the phone.
“We’re on our way home,” Yu Yuetong replied.
"That's good, that's good," said Madam Qin. "I'm sorry you had to go through all this today. I know Ji Momo; she's single-mindedly determined to marry into the Qin family. You don't need to take her words to heart."
Yu Yuetong felt a warmth in her heart. It seemed that the old lady really cared about her. "Grandma, I know."
"Okay, that's good." Madam Qin paused for a moment, then said, "Tomorrow is the weekend, you two come back for dinner. I'll have Zhang Ma prepare your favorite dishes."
Yu Yuetong hesitated for a moment, "Tomorrow..." She had to go to work at the company tomorrow, having promised the female supporting character that she would help her get the job.
"What's wrong? Is something the matter?" Old Madam Qin noticed Yu Yuetong's hesitation.
Yu Yuetong quickly said, "It's okay, Grandma, we'll go back tomorrow."
"Okay, it's settled then." Madam Qin hung up the phone with satisfaction.
Yu Yuetong returned the phone to Qin Reng, saying, "Grandma told us to go back for dinner tomorrow."
Qin Reng nodded. "I understand." He glanced at Yu Yuetong. "Are you going to the company tomorrow?"
Yu Yuetong sighed, "I can't go back on my word." She rubbed her temples. "Besides, I also want to see what Ji Momo is up to."
Qin Reng didn't say anything more, but silently increased the speed of the car.
Back home, Yu Yuetong finished washing up and collapsed onto the bed, not wanting to move at all.
Suddenly, she felt something was wrong beneath her, and sprang up, looking at her body in horror.
"Qin Reng!!!" Yu Yuetong screamed and rushed into the bathroom.
In the bathroom, Yu Yuetong looked at the familiar face in the mirror, feeling like crying but unable to.
She switched back!
This is such a terrible transmigration novel!
Just then, Qin Reng's voice came from outside the door, "What's wrong?"
Yu Yuetong took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. "It's okay!" she shouted. "I...I have a toothache!"
Qin Reng stood outside the door, listening to Yu Yuetong's voice, which was clearly filled with emotion, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
Toothache? You're kidding me.
He chuckled softly, not exposing her lie, "Should we call a doctor?"
"No need!" Yu Yuetong quickly refused, "A good night's sleep will do the trick!"
Qin Reng didn't insist any further. "Alright then, get some rest." With that, he turned and went back to his room.
Yu Yuetong lingered in the bathroom for a long time before slowly walking out, collapsing onto the bed, covering her head with the blanket, feeling that she had reached the lowest point in her life.
On the other side, after returning to his room, Qin Reng did not go to sleep immediately. Instead, he sat down at his desk, turned on his computer, and began to handle some work-related matters.
Just then, his phone lit up and a message popped up.
"Mr. Qin, is it a convenient time to take this call?"
The sender was Ji Momo.
Qin Reng narrowed his eyes, a hint of coldness flashing in them.
He glanced at the time; it was already past 11 p.m.
Why would Ji Momo contact him so late?
After thinking for a moment, he dialed Ji Momo's number.
"Hello, Miss Ji." Qin Reng's voice was deep and magnetic.
"Mr. Qin, I'm sorry to bother you." Ji Momo's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of laughter. "It's so late, I hope I didn't disturb your rest?"
"It's alright," Qin Reng said calmly. "Is there anything you need, Miss Ji?"
“It’s like this,” Ji Momo paused, “I chatted with Miss Yu for a bit today, and I feel like she has some misunderstanding about me. So I wanted to explain to President Qin, and also ask him what his thoughts are on my proposal?”
Qin Reng's fingers tapped lightly on the table, producing a crisp sound, each tap seeming to strike Ji Momo's heart.
"Which matter is Miss Ji referring to?" Qin Reng's voice remained calm, revealing no emotional fluctuation.
Ji Momo chuckled, "President Qin is really good at playing dumb. Of course, it's Miss Yu who misunderstood that I like you."
Qin Reng paused in his tapping motion on the table, then resumed his normal pace. "Miss Ji, you're overthinking it. There's nothing between Miss Yu and me."
"Oh? Is that so?" Ji Momo's voice carried a hint of sarcasm. "But Miss Yu was very worried about President Qin on the street today. She even risked offending me to protect him."
Qin Reng's face darkened. "Miss Ji, what exactly are you trying to say?"
"I don't want to say anything," Ji Momo said, feigning innocence. "I just wanted to remind President Qin that Miss Yu seems to really care about you. Today, Miss Yu even told me that she wants to get to know me again and wants to be friends with me."
Qin Reng's temples throbbed twice, and a surge of anger rose from the bottom of his heart.
Get to know each other again? Become friends?
What exactly is Yu Yuetong trying to do?!
“Miss Ji,” Qin Reng took a deep breath, trying to suppress his anger, “the matter between Miss Yu and me is none of your concern. Instead of worrying about other people’s family affairs, Miss Ji should think about how to resolve the crisis of the Ji Group.”
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before Ji Momo's voice rang out again, "Is President Qin threatening me?"
"No, I'm just reminding Miss Ji," Qin Reng said coldly. "The Ji Group's recent financial situation doesn't seem very optimistic. If Miss Ji gets distracted by other things, the situation will probably get worse."
"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Qin." Ji Momo's voice returned to its previous sweetness. "I will remember it. However, I would like to add that Miss Yu is really interesting. Mr. Qin should make the most of her."
Qin Reng slammed down the phone, his face terribly grim.
Yu Yuetong! What exactly are you trying to do?!
He rubbed his hair in frustration, got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the night view below.
The brightly lit city, however, made him feel inexplicably irritable.
Suddenly, he noticed a car in the distance slowly driving into the residential area.
That's Yu Yuetong's car.
Qin Reng's gaze fell on the car, his mind filled with thoughts.
Just then, the door was gently pushed open, and Yu Yuetong peeked out, cautiously looking at Qin Reng.
