Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 434 Guan Juer 5

He could tell that the person on the other end was still asleep, and hung up the phone before he could even speak.

He was the one who disturbed people's sleep. Although he thought that, Zhou Ling's gaze was drawn to the bright sunshine outside the window, thinking that it was almost lunchtime.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Guan Juer finally got out of bed. When Xiao Qi saw this, she came out of the space with the takeout she had ordered.

As she opened the takeout box, she recounted what had happened that morning:

"Yunshang went to practice driving. The incident of the main characters taking the elevator this morning has already happened. You missed it, host."

Guan Juer finished washing up, sat down at the table, and started eating a bowl of sweet tofu pudding: "Anyway, it has nothing to do with the mission, so I'll just miss it."

"Hmm, shall we go look at the studio again this afternoon?"

“Go ahead, but we need to get the car repaired first.” Speaking of this, Guan Juer thought of the phone call she received that morning.

She glanced at the car last night and noticed that besides the scratches on the paint, there was also a dent.

Xiaoqi complained, "That person was so careless last night; they bumped into us and ran away."

"They called this morning to apologize, saying they had an emergency and would compensate us."

"Alright, then I'll forgive him."

After eating, he went out by himself and took the car to the 4S store.

Guan Juer took a picture of the damage assessment results and the repair cost list and sent it to the number she had used that morning.

Today she found a suitable studio, which she rented and renovated to open her own art studio.

"I also want to find a shop to open a restaurant," Xiao Qi said.

Guan Juer nodded: "Okay, it's getting dark, let's go see it tomorrow."

"Okay, let's pick up Yunshang and go have dinner."

Guan Juer only took out her phone to check the food while waiting for it to be served at the restaurant.

I saw a message from the person who had the car accident, asking me to send them my bank card number.

She casually took a card out of her bag, entered the number, and sent it.

As for the account name, this person probably already knew it when they checked their car.

After the dishes were served, they were eating when Guan Juer heard someone calling her.

She looked in the direction of the sound and saw Cheng Lu walking towards her.

Are you eating here alone?

"I was with a few friends, just leaving after the event, when I unexpectedly saw you guys." Cheng Lu sat down next to her and greeted Xiao Qi and Yun Shang.

Then he continued, "What have you been busy with these past few days?"

Guan Juer: "I'm preparing to open an art studio."

"Then I'll have to go see it then."

"Yes, I'll definitely let you know when the time comes."

"Shall we find a place to go for a couple of drinks tonight?" Cheng Lu suggested.

Guan Juer shook her head: "Going again? That's too frequent."

"Cheng Lu! What are you doing here?" A sudden male voice interrupted Cheng Lu's attempt to continue speaking.

She turned her head and saw the person who had come in, her tone somewhat perfunctory: "What's wrong with me being here? This isn't your shop."

Guan Juer looked at the newcomer and felt that he looked somewhat familiar. Since the two people from the Ode to Joy world looked the same, she still had some impression of him.

“Host, this is Bao Yifan,” Xiao Qi said, as if she could see her confusion.

It was him, Guan Juer observed from their expressions and manner of speaking.

She couldn't help but wonder if Cheng Lu was one of the many ex-girlfriends Bao Yifan had mentioned in the storyline?

Bao Yifan smiled and didn't mind what Cheng Lu said: "I came to Shanghai on a business trip and didn't expect to see you today. I just came to say hello."

"I've said goodbye, you can go now." Cheng Lu looked away and ignored him.

Bao Yifan remained expressionless and gave the group a polite smile: "Then you can continue eating. I'll take my leave now."

Seeing that Cheng Lu didn't say anything, Bao Yifan had no choice but to turn around and leave.

Guan Juer glanced at Cheng Lu and thought that she probably really had a relationship with Bao Yifan.

Seeing her gossipy look, Cheng Lu smiled and said, "Are you curious?"

Guan Juer didn't answer her at first, but instead called out to a passing waiter: "Open a bottle of Krug champagne."

"Okay, please wait a moment." The waiter immediately went to prepare.

Once the drinks were served, she said, "Now that the drinks are here, tell me your story."

Xiao Qi and Yun Shang also looked like they were listening to gossip, and Cheng Lu couldn't help but laugh out loud: "It's nothing, we just talked about it for a while before."

Guan Juer poured her a glass of wine: "Judging from your expression, you seem to have some issues with him. Did you have some unpleasantness?"

Cheng Lu took the wine and took a sip: "Yeah, when I was really interested, his mother actually interfered with our relationship, and I got annoyed and broke up with him."

Guan Juer could guess some of this; when Bao Yifan started dating Andy, Mrs. Bao always interfered.

Moreover, judging from the situation, Bao Yifan isn't as serious about Cheng Lu as he is about Andy.

However, judging from Cheng Lu's appearance, she probably just dislikes Bao Yifan a little because of this incident, and there's definitely nothing between them anymore.

"What are you thinking? You don't think I'd be reluctant to let you go, do you?"

"No, if I couldn't bear to part with you, I wouldn't have broken up with you."

Cheng Lu smiled and clinked her wine glass with hers: "That's right. As long as you change men quickly, there's no sadness, only love. I remember we had only broken up for less than a month when we both had new lovers."

"Awesome." Guan Juer gave them a thumbs up.

Cheng Lu smiled and looked at Xiao Qi: "I'm single now, and your friend's younger brother is quite good-looking too."

Upon hearing this, Guan Juer and Yunshang looked at Xiao Qi, who glanced smugly at the group of single people and said, "I'm not single."

Cheng Lu immediately looked away and then sized up Guan Juer again.

"What's wrong? Looking at me like that?"

"With your looks and talents, it's a waste of your time not to find a man to keep you occupied. Would you like me to introduce you to someone?"

Before Guan Juer could refuse, Cheng Lu shook her head and said, "No, none of the ones I know are good enough for you."

Those are all guys who like to have fun; they change girlfriends all the time. They're not suitable.

"Am I that good in your eyes?" Guan Juer was amused by her.

"Of course, you have both good looks and talent, and your figure is amazing. Plus, you're so young. I have to introduce you to a good one."

Guan Juer shook her head: "No need, I prefer to let things take their natural course."

Cheng Lu also thought that there was no suitable candidate at the moment, so she could only suppress her thoughts for the time being.

She looked at Yunshang curiously again, and Yunshang instantly understood what she meant: "I don't need it."

"Okay." Cheng Lu regretfully looked away.

Guan Juer paid the bill and walked out of the restaurant with them.

Once outside, Cheng Lu opened her cigarette case and handed it to her: "Aren't you really going to have another drink tonight?"

"I'm not going. I've been drinking every day for the past few days, and I really don't want to drink anymore." Guan Juer lit a cigarette and took a puff.

The two stood outside and finished their cigarettes before parting ways.

"Let's go," Guan Juer called to Xiao Qi and Yun Shang.

Back home, she was in good spirits today. Xiaoqi and Yunshang were watching TV and looking at their phones.
