Chapter 2558: Chapter 362

Bai Qingling pretended not to catch the sarcasm in Chu Junming’s words and said haughtily, "Thank you for the compliment. I was always a top student from kindergarten through college. If you want to be my apprentice, I might consider it."

"Really?"

Chu Junming was amused by Bai Qingling’s self-praise.

Bai Qingling continued to boast, "Of course, if I hadn’t declined, my teacher would have become my apprentice."

"Well, go to the window."

Chu Junming’s words were too abrupt.

Bai Qingling was in the middle of her boasting when she suddenly heard this. Startled, she asked, "Why go to the window? Are you at Ye Zhan’s place?"

She really walked towards the window.

On the phone, Chu Junming heard her footsteps, his voice carrying an indescribable tone as he restrained his laughter, "Are you at the window yet?"

"Where are you? I can’t see you."

Bai Qingling glanced at the ground but didn’t see Chu Junming.

She heard Chu Junming’s low, delighted laughter again in her ear, "Qingling, look up; there’s a cow flying in the sky. Do you see it?"

The confusion and bewilderment on Bai Qingling’s face were suddenly swept away by a storm; it turns out that jerk Chu Junming was insulting her.

She wanted to curse, but she held back, and with a cold laugh, said, "I have no interest in where you’re flying. Goodbye."

After saying this, she angrily hung up the phone.

Turning around, she saw Momo and Qingqing unable to hold back their laughter, and Bai Qingling was full of distress, cursing, "That jerk Chu Junming."

"Qingling, isn’t he with Qinghuan?"

Momo asked with concern, trying to suppress her laughter.

Qingling shook her head, "No, he said Qinghuan is with Feng Yize. When did Feng Yize come to G City?"

Momo and Qingqing both shook their heads; they didn’t know either.

Feng Yize had been in contact with Qinghuan and learned that Ye Zhan was going to propose to Momo today, so he hurried over.

——

The lunch wasn’t eaten until two o’clock in the afternoon.

Because Ye Zhan stood everyone up, even Tang Jinchen didn’t go into the kitchen to help him cook. While he was busy in the kitchen, everyone else was in the living room, eating sunflower seeds and watching reruns.

Momo, Qingqing, and Qingling came downstairs, and seeing Ye Zhan alone in the kitchen, Momo wanted to go help, but she was pulled to the sofa and made to sit there.

Chu Junming never came to Ye Zhan’s place.

In the afternoon, he and Feng Yize returned to the Imperial City together.

Before boarding the plane, he sent Bai Qingling a message saying he would be in the Imperial City for a while and to contact him if she had any questions.

——

After Ye Zhan’s proposal, Momo became an internet sensation.

Everywhere she went, people were envious.

That noon, just before getting off work, He Qinqin came up to Momo with a smile, saying, "Teacher Mo, congratulations to you and Young Master Ye."

Momo was organizing some materials. Hearing He Qinqin’s voice, she looked up at her indifferently and said, "Thank you."

He Qinqin’s face showed a flash of awkwardness, but she quickly tried to flatter, "Teacher Mo, let’s have lunch together. There are some areas I’d like your guidance on."

"I’ve already made other arrangements."

Momo put away the organized materials and glanced at the time.

"When will you be available, Teacher Mo? I’d like to treat you to a meal. In the past, I made many mistakes due to my cousin’s issues, which must have made you uncomfortable. I want to find an opportunity to apologize."

Momo thought for a second and remembered that her cousin referred to Fang Die.

Looking at He Qinqin’s face full of sincerity and regret, she asked, "How is your cousin doing?"

"I don’t know. Since the Fang family fell, I haven’t been in contact with her. She always looked down on me. It was only after coming to G City and having no one to play with that she sought me out. Teacher Mo, you and Young Master Ye are a match made in heaven; my cousin was just a toad wanting to eat swan meat."

He Qinqin bad-mouthed her cousin Fang Die to curry favor with Momo.

Momo smiled nonchalantly, leaving a remark, "It’s not good to talk about others behind their backs," then gracefully walked away.

He Qinqin stood there, gritting her teeth as she watched Momo’s retreating figure, thinking jealously, "So what if she’s a bit prettier, wealthier, and luckier to meet a good man like Ye Zhan? What’s the big deal?"

If she swapped identities and backgrounds with Momo, would she dare to talk to her like this?

Taking a deep breath, He Qinqin turned to walk outside as well. However, upon reaching the hall, she saw her crush Huo Song waiting there for Momo, his gentle smile making her anger flare up.

Just then, her phone rang.

Annoyed, He Qinqin pulled out her phone, her eyes still glued ahead, watching Huo Song and Momo, who seemed to be chatting before walking out of the TV station together.

Only after redirecting her gaze did she look at her still-ringing phone. The name "Cousin" on the screen made her frown.

These days, she had been quite affected.

Because of Fang Die and the entire Fang family, she was often ridiculed.

Her hosting gig at the station had also been taken away. If she hadn’t been unwilling to leave, she wouldn’t even have the chance to do odd jobs there now.

That station director is just a snob; she even suspected that Momo got her opportunities there by selling her body.

Otherwise, why would she be so lucky?

As the phone ringing was about to stop, He Qinqin finally answered, speaking indifferently, "Hello."
