See You Again (Time Already Knows) - Chapter 67
Chapter 67 - “Shi Jian, You Are The Most Beautiful And Kind-hearted Girl I’ve Ever Seen.”
Forefather Yi was in the private hospital that the Yi family invested in.
The Yi Mao Hospital was located in the hilly area of A-City. It had fresh air and delightful scenery. The facilities and equipment in the hospital were all top-notch and were worth a lot of money. There were rumors going around the public that Forefather Yi intentionally would give this hospital to his most beloved Yi Biya. Since it was only a rumor and not necessarily true, using Zhang Kai’s words, the only card Madam Guo had in her hand now was Yi Biya.
But Zhang Kai also said that the child Forefather Yi loved the most was still Yi Pei’s mother. Only unfortunately…… Forefather Yi treated Yi Pei with a love-hate attitude. There was hate because Yi Pei’s father hurt his daughter. There was love certainly not just because Yi Pei was the most capable one in the Yi family.
Zhang Kai was joking around. When he brought her downstairs, he expressed, “Shi Jian, have you noticed that Forefather Yi really likes you? Forefather Yi rarely likes outsiders this much. I’ve spent a lot of labor just to get on his good side.”
Really? Shi Jian pursed her lip and modestly said: “I am just better looking than you are.”
Zhang Kai: “……I’m serious.”
Shi Jian objected and looked at him: “Seriously, I am better looking than you. Is there a problem?”
“Alright, you are better looking.” Zhang Kai amiably praised her and said after pondering over it for half a day, “Shi Jian…… You look a little like Yi Pei’s mother.”
“……huh?” She looked a little like Yi Pei’s mother? Shi Jian didn’t want to say anything anymore. She couldn’t feel surprised. Did she look very old?
“When she was young,” Zhang Kai hurriedly added, “I’ve seen photos before. She also played the piano, and you have especially similar temperaments.”
Shi Jian was walking: “Is that so?”
People who had no relation to each other could look very similar. When plastic surgery would become trendy in the future, one could see many similar people walking on a single street. But Shi Jian couldn’t help but doubt Zhang Kai’s words. Was Yi Pei’s fondness of her before just an oedipus complex?
This thought was like a drunk thought. Shi Jian ignored Zhang Kai’s drivel. Since she had agreed to play piano for Forefather Yi, that meant she had to attend the Yi family’s banquet.
Zhang Kai said that this banquet was Forefather Yi thanking his friends and family for their care and support. He also guessed that as people got older, the more they liked bustling crowds and rowdiness.
Shi Jian felt that Zhang Kai’s guess was pretty accurate. She didn’t really have any elderly people in her family, but when she was the wife of the Ye family, Ye Jiacheng had an elderly grandfather, and experienced a little bit of how an elderly person thought.
Unavoidably, Shi Jian thought of Ye Jiacheng again. Regardless of whether he was a person working with Yi Qindong or if he was Yi BIya’s…… Ye Jiacheng definitely would also be attending the Yi family banquet. The thought of that image made her…… Afterwards, since she had a surprising discovery, Shi Jian shut her eyes and imagined Yi Biya walking in with her arm looped around Ye Jiacheng’s. She seemed to not feel too much. Shi Jian credited the fact that she had been practicing taekwondo recently. One two three four, kick after making a revolution, and she was completely relaxed and alert.

Since she was attending a banquet, then of course she had to prepare her outfit. Shi Jian found some idle time to browse the stores and refresh her mood at the same time. After Emily found out, she just had to come along and accompany her, saying that her pregnant days were too boring.
Emily’s tummy really was very large. The expected due date was in half a month. Shi Jian walked together with Emily, occasionally helping her watch ahead. Emily teased her for her cautiousness: “Shi Jian, why do I feel like you are more nervous than I am?”
Because she accidentally lost Diandian. If she had been more careful back then, maybe……
Shi Jian didn’t think about it any longer and put her attention on the beautiful dress inside the famous brand name store. She chose a society-conforming dress at first, and the price was also conforming compared to one that she liked very much, an aquamarine blue off-shoulder dress with a very beautiful pattern. It’s just that it was too expensive. It was two thousand more than the first dress. She really couldn’t bear it, but she didn’t know what the future would be like, so she had to have a plan. When she earned money, she had to save a little more. It wasn’t a bad thing, after all.
“No way,” Emily strongly suggested she buy the more expensive dress. Her reason was: “Shi Jian, you look so beautiful wearing this dress! Wouldn’t it be a pity if you didn’t buy it?”
“But it’s two thousand more yuan,” Shi Jian gently reminded Emily. She was a bit moved, but still firmly shook her head.
“Baby, what happened? This isn’t like the past you at all.” Emily persuaded her with a loving tone, “Being the woman President Yi has his eyes on, can’t you be a little more heartless to yourself? Dress prettily and latch onto President Yi, the big tree that he is.”
Shi Jian didn’t refute: “……” She just didn’t want to buy the more expensive dress. What was different from her past self about that?
Emily continued to persuade her: “You even told me before to just buy it if you liked something. Otherwise, won’t you regret it in the future?”
But that was in the past. People changed. Even though she had returned 10 years back in time, she had been spoiled by Ye Jiacheng and was in the “buy things to make you happy” group. Now she definitely had to rein in her personality a little and had to think of the future. She couldn’t squander money as she wished.
Emily didn’t back down: “You have to stun everyone tomorrow anyway, and get some good damage on that Yi Bi……”
Emily was such a gossip, so naturally, she also knew about this. Shi Jian thought for a while and decided to buy it in the end. Even if she saved two thousand yuan, she wouldn’t become a millionaire anyway. She was better off just making more money.
Emily was satisfied: “That’s right.”
That’s right her ass. She just ruined her household with a purpose, heehee. Shi Jian joyfully received the receipt. Then, she also bought a matching pair of high heels. It was in the style with a strap across the ankle, and was cute yet unique. Emily also bought some baby items. Shi Jian accompanied her still, even though she didn’t really want to go in.
She was afraid that Emily would be aware of her oddities if she slipped up.
Good thing she could already control her emotions well. In the cute and soft baby item shop, Shi Jian gently stroked a small blanket, and gave Emily some suggestions. After all, she didn’t have much of an age difference with Emily. Emily also trusted her recommendations and even praised her knowledge.
Finally, they walked out with a multitude of shopping bags. The two of them stood outside the stores and waited for a taxi. This was the shopping center of A-City, and across the street was the more expensive and bustling luxury goods shopping center Nanwan. Emily gazed up at Nanwan and seriously said: “We should be strolling around Nanwan.”
“That’s enough,” Shi Jian smiled a little and sighed, “I want to be able to pay off my credit card next month.”
Emily incited: “Then just go seduce Yi Pei. Don’t even mention your credit card, you can even buy the whole Nanwan mall.”
Did she really have to exaggerate so much? And Yi Pei had to be seduced? Shi Jian told Emily: “Don’t talk nonsense. If I really tried to seduce him and threw away my job, would you feed me?”
Emily was stopped in her tracks. This was only in jest. Even if Emily saw something fishy as a married woman, she didn’t dare talk drivel. Shi Jian was also unlike any other young woman she met before. She was clear.
“I can’t anymore……” Emily suddenly frowned.
Goodness, she couldn’t be going into labor, right? Shi Jian nearly tossed away the bags in her hands. Emily had already pushed her two bags to her and said: “Being pregnant is too annoying. I have to go to the restroom again.”
“……” Shi Jian took the bags: “Do you need me to go with you?”
“No, you are carrying so many things. Why would you come with?”
Emily headed back to the mall bathroom. Shi Jian looked back, her happy mood not dissipating. She continued to stand there with her multitude of bags. They soon became too heavy for her to bear so she switched hands. She looked up and saw a familiar car stopped up ahead.
Ye Jiacheng’s car was very eye-catching. She didn’t have to pay much attention to notice it. Across a river of cars and pedestrians, Ye Jiacheng’s car was stopped in front of Nanwan. The car window was rolled down. Ye Jiacheng seemed to have spotted her.
The two met eyes. Ignoring each other did not fit Ye Jiacheng’s personality, and awkwardly looking away was even more unfitting for his style. Sure enough, Ye Jiacheng raised his chin towards her and naturally greeted her.
Relaxedly covering up the past between the two of them.
Shi Jian also put on a smile and returned the greeting. Then she turned and looked towards the entrance to the mall, searching for Emily…… Why was she not back yet?
When she looked back again, Yi Biya was there carrying shopping bags. She came out of Nanwan and then got into Ye Jiacheng’s car.
Ye Jiacheng quickly left. Shi Jian let out a breath. It really was starting to get heavy…… Right at that time, a taxi stopped in front of them, voluntarily pursuing their business.
The taxi driver was also adorable, but Shi Jian hurriedly stooped over and said to the driver, “Thank you, but my friend hasn’t arrived yet.”
The taxi driver left regrettably. Emily finally came out and apologetically tried to take back the two bags. Shi Jian continued to carry them, calmly saying: “Let me carry them, the pregnant woman is the priority.”
“You’re already helping me carry a lot of my bags.” Emily still took back the two bags. She looked at Shi Jian’s sparkling eyes. No wonder President Yi was moved. Shi Jian’s personality was proud yet gentle. She was really that girl with both taste and benevolence. She was pretty. Her face, features, and spirit were elegant. This kind of beautiful woman really was hard to come by. She was even in the category of people who looked even better the more someone looked at them.
Yi Biya undoubtedly was a delicately beautiful woman. Emily clearly liked someone like Shi Jian better, probably because…… Emily sighed somewhat sorrowfully: “Shi Jian, you are the most beautiful and kind-hearted girl I’ve ever seen.”
Praise was enjoyable to hear. Shi Jian was very happy and didn’t forget to be polite, “That’s enough, I know you want to thank me. You can pay the bill for afternoon tea.”
“No problem. Big sis will take you to a good meal.”
They enjoyed a highly rated afternoon tea. Emily’s husband came to pick Emily up. Emily also had him give Shi Jian a ride, but Shi Jian politely refused. It was better to be with another woman’s husband less, even if they were good friends.
Shi Jian flagged a taxi and took her spoils of war back to the Yang household. She saw that Auntie and Uncle Yang were both home. The two of them were sitting in the living room, both looking at her. Their gazes were a bit strange. Shi Jian smiled and asked: “What’s going on?”
Yang Jiantao spoke first: “Um, Jian-er, the Yi family sent over betrothal gifts just now.”
What the devil? That was impossible. Auntie was also unamused with Uncle Yang’s joke and glared at him. Then she said: “President Yi had someone send over a small gift for the banquet, as well as some jewelry.”
“Huh?” Shi Jian quietly emitted some noises. Then, she finally saw the two delicately wrapped boxes on the sofa.
