Chapter 88 Truth



Xie Fangfang glared at Su Jiayu several times.

Clearly, only Su Jiayu could say such a thing.

No wonder everyone looked at her strangely when she came in.

Su Jiayu rolled her eyes and snorted, "Xie Fangfang, it's Xiang Jin who's climbing the social ladder. Why are you so smug? Do you think some rich kid would even look at you?"

"I never thought of relying on a man. Is it just that some people are sour grapes?"

"you--"

Su Jiayu was furious, throwing the fast food away with a loud thud, her face falling to her heels.

"Ignore her. We can't indulge her weird temper. By the way, Xiangjin, why don't you treat us to dinner? You're leaving soon, so consider it a farewell meal."

Xiang Jin smiled and said, "Okay, let's invite everyone together. You can eat whatever you want."

"Okay!"

Xie Fangfang enthusiastically called her colleagues over, while Xiang Jin took out her phone to check what food was available nearby.

After selecting a few reasonably suitable restaurants, Xiang Jin sent the links to Bai Ning Shuang: "Have you eaten at any of these restaurants? How was the food?"

"Never eaten it before," Murong Xiao replied quickly.

Xiang Jin was shocked. She had actually sent the message to Murong Xiao!

It was too late to take it back. Recalling everything that had happened yesterday, Xiang Jin felt a chill run down her spine. Her fingers tapped on the keyboard, her lips pressed together, trying to figure out how to reply to him.

"A get-together? With whom?"

Murong Xiao sent another message.

The sudden vibration almost made her drop her phone; she flailed her arms around it a couple of times before managing to steady it: "Warehouse, I'm resigning today. I'm going out to eat with my colleagues later."

There was no further reply.

Xiang Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it had only been a few minutes, she was already drenched in sweat from fright...

Xiang Jin then shared the link with Bai Ningshuang and chose a hot pot restaurant based on her suggestion. It happened to be nearby, so they didn't even need to drive.

After the warehouse staff finished their get off work and went home, everyone headed to the hot pot restaurant in groups.

Yu Xingfa, who rarely avoids crowds, also came. Xiang Jin counted about fifteen or sixteen people, so they asked the restaurant to book a private room and set up two tables.

"Xiangjin, I heard you can talk now, congratulations!" Liu Peng said, sipping his tripe.

"Thanks."

"Oh my, I didn't expect Xiang Jin's voice to be so beautiful, so bright and clear. No wonder Guan Ming insisted on marrying you. If I weren't married, I would have pursued you too," said courier Ye Jicheng.

Guan Ming was somewhat embarrassed.

He buried his head in the hot pot, not saying a word.

The others also felt a little awkward, and the atmosphere at the table suddenly turned cold.

"He's already married, okay? Don't joke around. By the way, Xiangjin, how much did your throat surgery cost?" Sister Ding interjected at the right moment, immediately changing the subject.

Xiao Jie's treatment has been going very well recently, and Sister Ding has been promoted to group leader and started mentoring apprentices. Her mental state is much better than before.

Xiang Jin looked at Sister Ding gratefully: "It didn't cost much."

"How much is 'not much'?" Xie Fangfang asked curiously.

Xiang Jin was stuck and didn't know how to respond.

She never asked about the medical expenses; it must have been paid by Murong Xiao. The independent hospital room plus the specialist fees... must have been a considerable sum.

It seems like I owe him more and more.

"Hey Xie Fangfang, why are you asking these questions? Someone's paying for her, why are you worrying about it?" Su Jiayu said, swishing on her duck intestines, her face full of her usual sarcasm.

"This is concern, you know? What are you being sarcastic about?"

"Who's being sarcastic? Did I say something wrong?"

"You're wrong! Aren't you implying that Ah Jin is being kept by someone? How can you smear her like that!"

"Who said that? You said it yourself."

"you--"

Xie Fangfang was so angry that she almost threw down her chopsticks, and the atmosphere at the table became tense again.

The way they looked at Xiang Jin suddenly changed from being as friendly as before.

"Alright, alright, today is a farewell party for Xiang Jin. Let's raise a glass to her and wish her a bright future and all the best." Yu Xingfa then changed the subject at the opportune moment.

Xiang Jin picked up the teacup.

"Xiang Jin, you should at least be generous with your treat, tea won't do," Liu Peng said.

Xiang Jin frowned slightly.

I drank so much yesterday, I feel nauseous just from the smell of alcohol.

If she gets drunk again tonight and does something outrageous, Murong Xiao will really break her legs.

"Come on, hurry up." Liu Peng filled her glass with wine and personally handed it to her.

Xiang Jin had no choice but to accept it.

I gulped it down, and my stomach felt a burning sensation.

After finishing their hot pot meal, Yu Xingfa organized everyone to go sing karaoke nearby.

Xiang Jin couldn't refuse, so she went along.

The KTV was quite upscale. Several karaoke enthusiasts hogged the microphones for a long time, some chatted in small groups, and others, with nothing to do, simply set up a game.

"Let's play Truth or Dare!" Su Jiayu suggested.

"Okay, okay."

"Okay, this is good."

"But how do you play it?"

"Let me explain the rules of the game. There's a wheel here. Whoever the pointer lands on gets to choose between Truth or Dare. There are two decks of cards. Whoever chooses Truth draws the left one, and whoever chooses Dare draws the right one. The cards have corresponding penalties written on them. Whoever draws a card has to do the penalty."

"The questions above shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

"That's hard to say. They're all prepared in the KTV. How would I know?" A strange light flickered in Su Jiayu's eyes.

Soon, the first round began.

The pointer pointed to Xu Zhi, and Xu Zhi chose truth.

"Is there anyone here who you like?"

Xu Zhigang had only been working for a short time when his face flushed red, but he still answered loudly, "Yes!"

"Wow, I didn't realize you were so capable! Tell me who it is!"

Xu Zhi glanced at Xiang Jin twice, and everyone exclaimed in surprise, making Xu Zhi extremely embarrassed, and he didn't even dare to lift his head.

The second round was Sister Ding's turn. After hesitating for a while, Sister Ding still chose Truth or Dare.

“Tell me who you hate the most in this room.”

This question is easy to answer. Without hesitation, Sister Ding pointed to Xiang Jin: "Her."

"How can you cheat like that!" Su Jiayu protested.

"Who cheated?"

"Everyone knows you and Xiang Jin are inseparable, how could you possibly dislike her!"

"What if I'm all smiles on the surface but not on the inside?"

Su Jiayu choked.

"Alright, alright, the point of playing games is to have fun, why are you being so petty? Let's start the next round."

Urged on by everyone, the third round began as scheduled.

The pointer pointed precisely at Xiang Jin.

A row of people turned to look at her. Xiang Jin hesitated for a moment, then pointed to her left with her right hand: "I choose truth."

"Honestly speaking..." Su Jiayu smiled, as if she had been prepared.

The cards are laid out.

"Please tell me when your first time was."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings became much quieter, and all eyes turned to Xiang Jin.
