Su Xiaonuan quickened her pace and walked towards the counter.
Just as she picked up the receiver to dial, Xiang Qiuyun snatched it away and slammed it onto the phone.
"Are you sure you don't want Jiang Yi to pick you up?" Su Xiaonuan looked at her coldly.
Xiang Qiuyun said with a forced smile, "Look at you, you took a joke seriously. What are you saying? I have a secure job, do you think I'd starve? Would I come here to dine and dash?"
"I run such a big restaurant, do you think I'm afraid of you eating here for a few days?" Su Xiaonuan said with a fake smile. "Qiuyun, I'm doing this for your own good. Jiang Yi is such a dragon among men, if you don't hurry up, someone else will snatch him away. Since you're too embarrassed to ask, I'll ask for you."
How could someone as perceptive as Su Xiaonuan not see through Xiang Qiuyun's little tricks?
Even though she wasn't Jiang Yi's girlfriend, she still wanted to assert her ownership in front of everyone. Others might believe it, but Su Xiaonuan just couldn't.
Xiang Qiuyun is not even as good as Lan Yin, how could Jiang Yi possibly be interested in her?
In terms of beauty, Xiang Qiuyun is superior, but in terms of knowledge, she cannot compare to Lan Yin.
"I wouldn't see Jiang Yi looking like this."
"A man who truly loves you will never leave you, no matter what you look like. Even if you're bruised and battered, it'll be fine in a few days. What's there to be afraid of?"
“It’s not that I’m afraid of anything, it’s that I don’t want to show him my bad side.” Xiang Qiuyun shook her head. “You’ve never truly loved a man, otherwise you would have these thoughts too. Oh, I misspoke, you have loved someone, Jiang Yi. I’m sorry, Xiao Nuan, I didn’t mean to upset you.”
"By the way, when did you two start dating?"
"Soon, on your birthday, I'll be coming back in Jiang Yi's car." Xiang Qiuyun hesitated for a moment. "Oh, you know what I mean, don't ask so many questions, okay?"
"So, you two... you know?"
"Ugh!" Xiang Qiuyun nudged Xiao Nuan with her elbow. "You already know, so why ask? What do you mean?"
"Alright, alright, I won't ask. You should go back and rest now, I'm busy right now."
"I'm not going back. You go ahead and do your work. I'll collect the money for you." Xiang Qiuyun sat down at the counter without a second thought, completely ignoring everyone else.
In the past, Su Xiaonuan would have been overjoyed if her best friend had come to help her.
Now, she has to be wary of Xiang Qiuyun, this venomous snake.
So, she secretly instructed Chen Lan to make a phone call from a public phone booth outside, asking Jiang Yi to come over. She didn't say it explicitly, only that she wanted him to come to the restaurant because the owner had something to tell him.
If it were stated outright, Jiang Yi definitely wouldn't come.
Xiang Qiuyun didn't want to see Jiang Yi; she would only slip away if Jiang Yi came.
Jiang Yi was thrilled to receive Chen Lan's call.
Xiao Nuan invited him; how could he not come?
Twenty minutes later, a Jeep pulled up in front of the store.
Sitting behind the counter, Xiang Qiuyun spotted the car at a glance.
No one knew this car as well as she did; many times, she used this car to find Jiang Yi's people.
Jiang Yi's long legs strode down, immediately attracting the attention of many diners.
The women who were eating were all swooning over Jiang Yi, staring at him in a daze. Some gaped in astonishment, some dropped their chopsticks to the ground, and some were frozen in place as if under a spell...
This is all an effect caused by Jiang Meinan.
If Xiang Qiuyun didn't have a pig-like face, she would have reacted the same way.
But in her current state, she absolutely cannot see Jiang Yi.
She took off running into the kitchen.
He bumped right into Su Xiaonuan.
"Qiuyun, what's wrong?" Su Xiaonuan deliberately stopped her. "Why are you rushing to the kitchen in such a hurry?"
"Get out of the way, Jiang Yi is here." Xiang Qiuyun pushed her aside and ran away.
"Then run slower, don't fall, otherwise it will only make things worse." Su Xiaonuan chased after him to the back door. "Qiuyun, Jiang Yi has booked dinners here for a week, why don't you stay and have dinner with him?"
"No, thank you." Xiang Qiuyun waved her hand dismissively. In this terrible state, how could she dare to see Jiang Yi?
"Boss lady, your method is really effective. I bet she won't dare to come this week." Chen Lan couldn't help but chuckle. "However, Jiang Yi is still waiting outside to see you. Now that one has left, we still have to deal with this one."
"Xiao Nuan, Xiao Nuan." Jiang Yi had already run in, looking at Su Xiao Nuan who had turned around with tender affection. "You said you had something to tell me. Is it because you've thought it through and are willing to divorce that Xiao guy and marry me?"
He didn't try to avoid suspicion and said it in front of everyone.
Before Xiao Nuan could speak, Chen Lan stepped forward and said, "You, surnamed Jiang, look so respectable, how could you do such a despicable thing? The boss's wife is already someone else's wife and has a child. How can you be so shameless? The elders always say, 'It's better to tear down ten temples than to ruin one marriage.' But you, you blatantly want to destroy someone else's good marriage."
"Clap clap clap!"
Su Xiaonuan applauded Chen Lan's words.
Chen Lan was just standing up for Xiao Moran. Xiao Moran loves Su Xiaonuan so much, he absolutely cannot let this Jiang guy steal her away.
She did like Xiao Moran, but Chen Lan would never do such a despicable thing.
There's a kind of liking that's done in secret, and she's that kind of person.
"Get out of the way!" Jiang Yi shoved the sharp-tongued woman aside and went straight to Su Xiaonuan. He reached out and pulled her outside. "Come on, it's not convenient to talk here."
"What's inconvenient about it?" Su Xiaonuan wasn't going to go with him and shook off his hand. "It's not like it's anything shameful. I called you here just to ask you what you did to Xiang Qiuyun on my birthday when she hitched a ride with you. Don't hide it, tell me the truth."
"Why is it Xiang Qiuyun again?" Jiang Yi rubbed his forehead, feigning deep disgust. "That woman is like a persistent ghost, always causing trouble wherever I go, it's enough already!"
"If you didn't do anything to her, would she dare to cause you trouble?"
"You're one to talk. Last time, if you hadn't let her ride with me, I wouldn't have bothered with such a lunatic. I really don't know how you became best friends with someone like that?" Jiang Yi asked, puzzled.
"She's a perfectly normal, beautiful woman. What's wrong with her?"
"She's absolutely out of her mind," Jiang Yi gritted his teeth. "You wouldn't believe it, she took a compass and insisted on fixing one leg to my nose, then tried to draw a circle on my face, almost stabbing my nose. Don't you think only a lunatic would do something like that?"
puff……
Everyone in the kitchen couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"It proves you're his person, so of course we have to give you a perfect mark." Su Xiaonuan held back her laughter, but this was indeed Xiang Qiuyun's style.
"You really are her best friend, you say the same thing." Jiang Yi pointed at Su Xiaonuan angrily. "Go tell that idiot not to come near me again. If I see her, don't blame me for being ruthless. I haven't settled the score with her for yesterday yet. In front of so many of my classmates, she said she was my girlfriend. Is she delusional?"
