Extra 38
After saying goodbye, Bai Lin drove away.
Qin Anning also took out her phone and dialed Xu Meng's number. Upon learning that Xu Meng had arrived, she rushed over.
When the two met, Xu Meng gave her a big bear hug.
"Why didn't you let me pick you up?" Xu Meng said after letting go of her.
Qin Anning smiled and said, "I drove here, so I came straight over."
"Oh, okay." Xu Meng turned to look at Qin Man. "Your friend?"
Qin Anning quickly introduced the two to each other, and Xu Meng was very enthusiastic, pulling them into the residential area.
Because tomorrow is the wedding, Xu Meng has a lot of family members, many of whom came to help her decorate the room.
Qin Anning and Qin Man also helped out and got to know Xu Meng's friends.
Two more roommates won't arrive until tomorrow. Qin Anning doesn't really know the people who came today; they're supposedly her high school and elementary school classmates.
Qin Anning also saw the wedding photos on the wall. The man was decent-looking, but he looked a bit short, not much taller than Xu Meng, who was 171cm.
Seeing her staring at the wedding photo, Xu Meng came over and explained, "This is my husband. We were elementary school classmates."
Qin Anning was taken aback. "Childhood sweethearts?"
Xu Meng laughed and said, "Not really. We were just elementary school classmates. We weren't that close. We only got to know each other through a blind date last year. I thought he was a nice guy, so we settled down."
Qin Anning smiled and said, "That means you two are very destined for each other."
"Hey, we're all from the same hometown, it's normal to meet acquaintances on blind dates. By the way, don't you have a boyfriend? Why didn't you come along?"
Qin Anning's smile faded slightly, but she managed to maintain a forced smile. "He's away on a business trip."
"Oh, I see." Xu Meng didn't think much of it. "That's such a pity. I thought I could meet your boyfriend."
She didn't know that Qin Anning's boyfriend was Fu Yin, and it was fortunate that she didn't say so, otherwise, if people knew that they had broken up, she didn't know how many people would laugh at her.
There will be opportunities in the future.
"That's true. Anyway, I'm going back to work in Haishi. I'll invite him sometime so we can get together."
"Uh-huh."
Qin Anning didn't want to talk about this topic, so she picked up the balloons from the ground and said, "Let's decorate the room first."
Xu Meng smiled and said, "Okay, thank you."
"Don't mention it."
Seeing that she was no longer asking about her boyfriend, Qin Anning breathed a sigh of relief and hid to the side with Qin Man to blow up balloons.
That evening, Xu Meng treated everyone to dinner at the hotel. There were so many people that she couldn't pay attention to Qin Anning.
Qin Anning and Qin Man ate their meal in silence, but Qin Man's spoiled temper flared up again. Seeing that no one was using serving chopsticks, she would take food from one dish after another, and then put down her chopsticks after only a couple of bites.
Qin Anning glanced at her, thought for a moment, and then didn't try to persuade her.
She couldn't stand it before, but in order not to expose her identity, she gradually got used to it.
Qin Man puffed out her cheeks, looking rather unhappy.
Seeing this, Qin Anning went over to find Xu Meng without waiting for her to call out.
"Xiaomeng, my sister and I went to the hotel first. She was a little sleepy after driving all day."
Xu Meng hurriedly said, "Wait a moment, I'll take you to the hotel."
"No need, you go ahead with your work. We own a hotel, we can just go directly there."
Xu Meng hesitated for a moment, but after glancing at the other guests, she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll come find you later."
"Okay, we'll be going now."
Qin Anning called Qin Man and left the hotel. After they came out, Qin Man complained, "My God, why don't they use serving chopsticks? You don't know, I saw that old man, every time he picked up food, he would put the chopsticks in his mouth and slurp them several times. It made me lose my appetite."
"Who told you to insist on coming along?"
"I didn't know it was this kind of banquet. If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have come. I'm starving. Let's find somewhere to eat quickly."
"Alright, Miss."
Qin Anning hadn't eaten much either. The two drove around for a while and found a restaurant that looked nicely decorated.
Qin Man ordered a bunch of dishes, and this time she finally didn't have to worry about ordering too expensive food.
After ordering, she couldn't resist mocking Qin Anning, "Look at you, you clearly have money and could live a better life, but you insist on doing something that doesn't require hardship. What are you after?"
Qin Anning was taken aback.
Qin Man's words make some sense.
Not only her, but Fu Yin as well, both fit the description of "enduring hardship without effort." I don't know who they're trying to impress. If you think about it carefully, what's the point besides self-pity?
Qin Anning suddenly felt relieved. "You're right. Let me see the menu. It's my treat today."
"That's right, here you go." Qin Man handed her the menu.
Qin Anning flipped through the menu and ordered a set of seafood sashimi worth 5,000 yuan, as well as a bottle of red wine worth 20,000 yuan.
Upon seeing this, Qin Man smiled with satisfaction.
"Was it good?"
Qin Anning nodded, "Great!"
"That's great! I'll take you to an even more great place later."
Qin Anning looked at her suspiciously.
Before long, the dishes they ordered arrived, and the two of them went on a tirade of showing off.
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Qin Man drove herself, searched for something online, and then drove off with the navigation on.
Where are you taking me?
You'll know when you get there.
Qin Anning sensed from her mysterious smile that this was not a good place.
Thirty minutes later, the car stopped in front of a club, and a security guard immediately came over to help them park.
Qin Man put her arm around her and walked inside.
Qin Anning's expression was somewhat unnatural. "Why did you bring me here?"
"Looking at the handsome guys, I wonder what the quality of the handsome guys here is like. If they're not good enough, I'll invite you to go again when we get back to Haishi."
As she spoke, she took out her phone to chat.
As soon as she entered the lobby, a handsome young man came up to her with a smile and asked, "Are you Miss Qin?"
Qin Man nodded, "Yes, I just booked the VIP room online."
The manager's smile widened, and he immediately gestured for them to come over, saying, "This way, please. I'll take you both there."
Qin Anning has only been to places like this a handful of times and isn't very familiar with the procedures. Qin Man, on the other hand, seems to know it all too well; she made a reservation in less than half a day.
Upon entering the private room, the manager helped adjust the air conditioning and then showed the two a booklet.
This is their most expensive private room, with a minimum charge of 88,000 yuan and no upper limit.
Qin Man flipped open the drinks menu and randomly ordered, "Bring me a set of everything, and call over your most handsome guy."
After saying that, she took out a card and handed it to the manager.
The manager placed the order in front of her, and the card was successfully swiped. He respectfully returned the card to Qin Man and said with a smile, "Please wait a moment, I'll go and make the arrangements right away."
Qin Anning looked at her strangely, "Looks like you're a regular at places like this?"
"It's alright, I come here occasionally."
"But then again, even if those guys are really handsome, and you're young, beautiful, and rich, you're still at a disadvantage, aren't you? Do you think that's great?"
Qin Man rolled her eyes at her, "You need to broaden your perspective. We're the bosses, they have to listen to me. How can I let them take advantage of me? It's definitely a case of me being allowed to touch them, but they're not allowed to touch me."
"..." Qin Anning was speechless for a moment.
As they were talking, the door to the private room opened again, and people started coming in one after another.
