and at my wife and got slapped by her, right""You... How dare you罵我?" Dong Lin was so furious his voice trembled. "Fine, very well. I'll tell you this—unless Leng Bingbing comes to beg for mercy, don'...Chapter 529: Entertainment Journalist - Wuyou Chinese Web Novel
"I'm telling you Ning Jie, you still remember me I thought you had forgotten about me. It's been so long since graduation and you haven't even called me!" A rather familiar voice came from the other end of the phone line; Ning Jie recognized it to be Zhang Dan. However, Zhang Dan's overly familiar manner and reproachful tone made her feel a bit uncomfortable, as they weren't actually that close.
Of course, Ning Jie wouldn't admit that she hadn't called Zhang Dan because they weren't so close. She simply found an excuse for herself: "I just started working and have been quite busy, hence no contact with old classmates."
"That's true, I'm the same. These past few months have been crazy hectic; I get home from work every day and fall right into bed. Otherwise, I would've called you long ago." Zhang Dan quickly explained, clearly using this to justify why she hadn't called Ning Jie before. Whether or not her reason was genuine only she knew.
Without waiting for Ning Jie's response, Zhang Dan spoke up again: "Right, Ning Jie, do you have time tonight Let's grab a meal together later"
"Tonight" Ning Jie was taken aback.
"Right, tonight. You shouldn't have any plans, should you" Zhang Dan asked half-jokingly.
"No, I was just about to go out for dinner." Ning Jie hurriedly said, but inwardly she gave a bitter smile; with her being like this, how could she possibly have any plans
But in the next second, she realized something. Wait, why couldn't she have any plans She wasn't that short-sighted and klutzy girl Ning Jie anymore. Now, she was a genuine beauty.
"That's great then! Let's eat together. I was actually planning to grab some food after work too. This weekend, I finally get a day off. We can also go shopping tomorrow," Zhang Dan quickly said. "Let’s do this, you come over right away. I know of a decent Western restaurant. Eating fast food so often lately has me feeling undernourished. Tonight, let's treat ourselves."
"Well then, where are you" Ning Jie thought for a moment and decided to go over. She didn't have any friends in this city, and she cared quite a bit about Zhang Dan, who was both a classmate and from the same hometown.
"Do you know the Jinghua Entertainment News If not, just take a taxi here. The restaurant across from the newspaper office is New Town Rose Western Restaurant; I'll be waiting inside." Zhang Dan said.
"Alright, I'll be right there." Ning Jie agreed and didn't know where the Jinghua Entertainment News was located, but as Zhang Dan suggested, she could just take a taxi over.
"Okay then, see you soon." Zhang Dan quickly hung up the phone.
Ning Jie took a deep breath and finally opened her door to leave.
While waiting by the roadside for a taxi, Ning Jie clearly noticed that both men and women passing by couldn't help but glance at her several times. She knew this time they were looking because she wasn’t ugly anymore; instead, she had truly become beautiful.
After waiting for a few minutes, Ning Jie managed to catch a taxi. Then it took another dozen or so minutes before she arrived at the newly established Rose Western Restaurant.
The restaurant was not very busy right now. As soon as Ning Jie stepped in, she spotted a pretty girl sitting by the corner with her back to the door. The girl had short hair and casual attire: a T-shirt paired with short denim pants. However, she hadn't noticed Ning Jie’s arrival because she was engrossed in playing on her phone.
Ning Jie walked over to the girl and called out, "Zhang Dan."
"Ning Jie, you're here..." The girl looked up at Ning Jie, then stared wide-eyed. "Y-You... You’re Ning Jie"
This girl is Zhang Dan. She could recognize Ning Jie's voice, but when she looked up at Ning Jie, she found it impossible to connect the stunning beauty in front of her wearing a skirt with the image she had in mind of Ning Jie.
In her memory, Ning Jie always wore glasses and never wore skirts. Moreover, she recalled that Ning Jie was quite short-legged before. However, this beautiful woman who sounded like Ning Jie didn't wear glasses at all and even wore a skirt. Her long legs were so attractive that they made Zhang Dan feel envious!
"Zhang Dan, you don’t recognize me anymore" Ning Jie said somewhat helplessly. At this moment, she started worrying about one thing: Would the people who knew her before all fail to recognize her in the future
"You... You really are Ning Jie!" Zhang Dan looked at Ning Jie with disbelief. She stared at Ning Jie's face for a long time and finally confirmed that this was indeed Ning Jie. Not only did her voice belong to Ning Jie, but her face hadn't changed much either. It just seemed better-skinned than before, and it lacked the unattractive glasses she used to wear. Now, Ning Jie’s face could be said to be absolutely stunning; at least it was enough to make even Zhang Dan, who was also a beauty, feel jealous.
Ning Jie sat down, and Zhang Dan asked impatiently again: "Hey, Ning Jie, what happened to your eyes and legs And why did your skin suddenly get so good Your skin used to be pretty decent too, but it was just like mine. Now, your skin feels like it can compete with that of An Keke."
"I, I recently met a miracle doctor," Ning Jie hesitated and said.
"A miracle doctor" Zhang Dan hurriedly followed up, "Summer Miracle Doctor Do you really know him Are the online rumors true then Does this mean that you're truly his girlfriend"
Ning Jie was slightly taken aback: "Zhang Dan, you also know about this"
"How could I not know!" Zhang Dan quickly said, "I'm now a reporter for the Entertainment Report. Such big news, how could I possibly not know"
"So your reason for finding me isn't related to Summer, right" Ning Jie couldn't help but ask.
"Ning Jie, since we're from the same hometown, I won't hide anything from you. I do have some connection with him. After seeing news about the Divine Doctor online, someone mentioned your name, and I thought of you since we haven’t been in touch after graduation, so I called you."
Zhang Dan admitted frankly, "But I didn’t want to interview him. Our newspaper is an entertainment newspaper, and he’s a Divine Doctor—not an entertainer."
"As long as you don't want to interview him, that's fine," Ning Jie breathed a sigh of relief. "Today so many people have been calling me that I'm thinking about changing my number."
"Good thing you didn’t change it! If you had changed your number, I wouldn’t know where to find you!" Zhang Dan said before quickly shifting the conversation back to what she was most curious about. "Hey Ning Jie, haven't you told me yet if your eyes and legs were really healed by that Divine Doctor called Xia Tian Are you his girlfriend for real"
After a pause, Zhang Dan added: "If you are truly his girlfriend, then you need to work hard! Your rival is named Mu Han; she’s incredibly pretty!"ense on the floor.Fortunately, this time Xia Tian finally released her. Mu Han got up and went into the bathroom for a bath; she then changed into a relatively conservative nightgown before heading to...
