After breaking up, Ding Dian happily returned home. But she didn't go to her own place. Instead, she went to Yang Yu's and spent a passionate night with him before finally returning to her own apartment.
The next day, Meng Yun and Yu Fei started their carefree, bachelor lives. Yu Fei took a bunch of cute girls to a nightclub and partied hard.
However, Yang Yu had someone secretly film everything and sent the footage to Ding Dian.
At that moment, Ding Dian and Lin Jia were listlessly eating instant noodles in their apartment, which Lin Jia had accidentally burned.
Ding Dian took out her phone and saw the carefully selected photos. Most of them were of Meng Yun dancing and drinking intimately with beautiful women.
Ding Dian chuckled inwardly and then put on an angry expression, handing the phone to Lin Jia.
"Look at this. We're here, heartbroken, and look what they're doing," Ding Dian said with a feigned indignant tone.
Lin Jia took the phone and saw the intimate photos of Meng Yun with other women. Her eyes immediately turned red, and she felt incredibly heartbroken.
Seeing Lin Jia's heartbroken state, Ding Dian secretly felt a sense of satisfaction but outwardly comforted Lin Jia without revealing her true emotions.
Over the next few days, Ding Dian continued sending Lin Jia photos of Meng Yun having a good time with various beautiful women.
Lin Jia's initial emotions of heartbreak, disappointment, and anger gradually faded into numbness.
She had completely lost hope in Meng Yun.
During this time, Lin Jia became disoriented, often making mistakes at work, which led to her boss giving her a long leave.
Seeing Lin Jia's condition, Ding Dian felt it was time to execute the next stage of her plan.
Ding Dian said to Lin Jia, "Since they can have fun, we can find men too."
"I'm thinking of going on a trip to clear my head. Do you want to come with me?" Lin Jia replied indirectly.
"I can't leave. Ke'er is going back to her hometown in a few days, and I'll be the only one left at the shop," Ding Dian said.
"Then I'll go alone. Don't do anything stupid while I'm gone," Lin Jia said.
"No way, you're not going alone. I won't feel comfortable with you traveling like this," Ding Dian responded.
"You're not coming with me, and you know I've poured all my heart into Meng Yun over the years. You're the only friend I have," Lin Jia said sadly.
She felt regretful for the years she had spent, only to realize now that she didn't even have a friend.
Hearing this, Ding Dian knew her opportunity had arrived.
"What about me finding you a handsome guy to go with you?" Ding Dian asked with a smile.
"If you have a handsome guy, why wouldn't you keep him for yourself? Why would you give him to me?" Lin Jia asked, chuckling.
"Seriously, it's that rich kid next door. What do you think?" Ding Dian asked, still smiling.
"Isn't that rich kid pursuing you? You don't like him and are giving him to me?" Lin Jia asked, unhappy.
"If he was pursuing me, I would've jumped at the chance," Ding Dian lied without batting an eye.
Lin Jia looked at Ding Dian with confusion.
Ding Dian continued, "To be honest, he approached me because of you."
Lin Jia said incredulously, "That's impossible. I've never even met him."
Ding Dian continued to lie with a straight face, "But he's seen you. He fell in love with you at first sight and somehow found out I'm your good friend. So he asked me to help him pursue you."
Lin Jia still didn't quite believe it, "Why didn't you tell me about this before?"
"Before, your relationship with Lao Meng was so good. As your best friend, how could I agree to help him? But it's different now. Meng Yun has treated you like this. Just give someone else a chance, and give yourself a chance too," Ding Dian said, seizing the opportunity.
Lin Jia remained silent.
Seeing Lin Jia's silence, Ding Dian added fuel to the fire, "If you go on a trip with a man and Meng Yun doesn't react at all, then I suggest you give up on him completely. Besides, Yang Yu isn't bad. Just get to know him. If it works out, be together. If not, then forget it. No one will force you."
Hearing Ding Dian mention Meng Yun again, Lin Jia remembered his recent actions and felt a surge of anger. In a moment of heat, she agreed.
Ding Dian quickly pretended to call Yang Yu, "My dear, I have a task for you. Accompany my dear Jia Jie on a trip. If you make her unhappy, I'll hold you accountable."
Actually, while Ding Dian was chatting with Lin Jia, she had already been on the phone with Yang Yu, and he had heard everything they said.
However, Yang Yu still pretended to be excited and said loudly, "I guarantee I'll complete the mission. Thank you, Jia Jie, for giving me this opportunity."
Ding Dian had put the call on speakerphone, and Lin Jia heard Yang Yu's excited shout. She couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Actually, right after she agreed, Lin Jia already had a bit of regret. After all, it wouldn't be appropriate for a single man and a single woman to go on a trip together, but she couldn't take back her words.
With things already set in motion, Lin Jia had no choice but to agree.
Less than a minute later, they heard a knock, knock, knock at the door.
As expected, it was Yang Yu.
