We Are Meant To Be novel Chapter 54

James Feng frowned. He had never been so ignored by anyone before. And the one who did that was his secretary! He really didn’t want to lose face.

He pinched Christy Zhong’s arms hard to remind her to pay attention to their public images.

In an instant, her sense returned. She suppressed her excitement and introduced James to York Su, “He is my…” James suddenly stopped her, “I’m her boyfriend.”

Come on! If he said that in front of other women, she would not mind. But it’s a little too much to say that to her friend.

However, Christy couldn’t refute. She just smiled with embarrassment and asked, “York. Who is this? Can we get to know each other?”

“She is my colleague, Zoey. I work in this club.” York looked at James and Christy with a smile, saying, “You can go inside. Whenever you need help, call me.”

Strangely, James was relieved.

Christy walked in hugging his arm. With more and more people hailed them, they had to engage themselves in social intercourse.

Noticing James, several bosses of some companies asked their partners to go away. And then they walked to him, talking and laughing.

James told Christy that she must stay in his sight before she left. In the meantime, Christy also paid close attention to him. She needed to go to him when the time had come.

Christy knew that she must be smart and keep in touch with him at any time.

So she took a glass of juice and went to the deck. With the gentle breeze caressing her long hair, she was thinking about York. Why did he come here and say that he was working in the club? Did something happen to his family too? Now no one could predict when the accident would occur.

But she was embarrassed to ask what’s going on. Finally, Christy decided to stay in contact with him, for she treated him as a friend and hoped that he could live well.

When she was thinking, York came to her and asking, “Christy. Where have you been, recently? I ever looked for you, but our schoolmates all didn’t know your whereabouts. How is it going?”

They used to be classmates in an art school. However, since something bad happened to her family, she dropped school and lost contact with all the classmates and teachers. There were rumours that she married an old man due to the heavy debt. And It’s also said that she committed suicide.

Christy smiled slightly. After so many years, though she suffered great pain at that time, she could face it calmly when somebody mentioned it as if they had been talking about others. She became stronger than before.

“I’m doing good. You know that I suspended school, for the tuition fees were too high and I couldn’t afford it. Later I went to a professional college to get a diploma and find a job.” Christy tried to make light of her past experiences.

Right! No matter how worse she lived, now Christy was James’ girlfriend. She must have a better life.

“Good. Here’s my business card. If you need my help, you can contact me and I’ll try my best,” said York seriously. Before she opened her mouth, he said again, “Actually you should tell us what happened at that time. We could try to help you, for we’re good friends.”

It’s easier said than done. At that time, what she needed was a large amount of money. They wouldn't help her just because they were classmates. She didn’t have the good fortune to find a reliable person and borrow money from him.

“Thank you. Back then I was having a nervous breakdown and I didn’t think of you,” said Christy with sadness. Though it had been many years since the accident, she could still fee the pain.

Yori immediately comforted her, “That’s all in the past. Next time something happens to you, remember to tell me.” He added her WeChat. Meeting former classmates made both of them very happy.

“Why do you change your career? Aren’t you interested in art any more?” Christy stared at his handsome face.

None of the students in art school had poor family conditions at that time. Even the most disadvantaged ones lived much better than ordinary people. They learned art because they loved art. Under normal circumstances, they would find a job related to it.

York gave a hearty smile. “I don’t have artistic talent. It’s a pure novelty for me. Later, I was tired of it and my grandpa urged me to go home, so I came back.”

It turned out that he was the boss’ son of this senior club!

Christy laughed and said, “Why didn't you tell me just now?”

But it made senses. It was a little rude and annoying to say that in front of everyone.

York smiled shyly, explaining, “I’ve always been very low-key.”

Someone had a good family background or a fine appearance, but they didn’t rely on them. Instead, they tried to win everything by their own ability.

This was his own choice and she was in no position to judge his behaviours

“We were former classmates. I can understand that you are low-key. But I hope that you will not talk to other classmates about my situation, for we only get along with each other for one year.” Christy explained to him obliquely.

She didn’t want to expand her community. The more she got in touch with, the more likely Justin’s identity may be exposed. Besides, If her former wealthy donor knew that, it would be a disaster.

She felt satisfied if she could live a safe life.

Though York didn’t understand what she meant, he still respected her choice, for everyone had the right to live the life they liked.

“Don’t worry. I won’t tell others. But if you need help, you can contact me,” said York seriously.

He had a good feeling about Christy in the past. Though the feeling didn't develop into love, it’s a witness of youth. And he was willing to be her good friend.

Christy said cheerfully, “I will bother you!”
