Qiao Ruoxi's drama has been completed.
The investors held a lavish wrap-up party.
After everyone had praised each other's business, they began to eat happily.
"Ruoxi, try this crab steak. I've eaten it and I think it tastes good." Guo Meixian, who looked like a lotus flower emerging from water and was wearing light makeup, picked up a crab steak affectionately, dipped it in the sauce in front of her and put it in her bowl, revealing a simple and harmless smile.
Qiao Ruoxi's mind was in a whirlwind. She remembered what Yan Xi had told her before she left yesterday and secretly kept it in mind. "Thank you, but I don't really like crab patties."
Hearing this, Guo Meixian bit her lip and turned pale. "But you clearly ate it several times last year."
The sound was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for everyone present to hear.
There was a sudden silence, and everyone looked up at the two of them, each with different thoughts in their mind.
Seeing this, Qiao Ruoxi stared coldly at Guo Meixian for a few seconds. Her heart sank, and she pretended to have just remembered. "Now that you mention it, I think I remember it. But I always ordered takeout at home and didn't tell anyone. How did you know?"
Guo Meixian's facial muscles stiffened for a moment. She noticed that everyone was looking at her a little strangely, and she quickly explained, "I accidentally saw the receipt in the trash can when I went to your house. I didn't mean any harm. If you want to eat the food I picked up, I'll take it back."
Having said that, he took it back with a bit of grievance.
At this time, someone stepped forward to smooth things over. "Hey, it's not a big deal. Maybe Ruoxi is tired of eating. Meixian, don't take it to heart. Ruoxi and Meixian also mean well. You two should eat quickly, otherwise, we will finish all the dishes on the table, don't you agree?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone echoed them.
Qiao Ruoxi gave Guo Meixian a cold look without making any expression, then smiled at them, "Okay, okay, I'll eat right away, please save some for me."
Guo Meixian was a little embarrassed and lowered her head to eat, but she glanced at the sauce left by the crab chops in Qiao Ruoxi's bowl. Seeing her eat it with white rice, she curled her red lips slightly.
In the middle of the meal, Qiao Ruoxi realized that something was wrong with her body. She subconsciously looked at Guo Meixian who was drinking with a female actress next to her, took a deep breath, took out her mobile phone and sent a message.
Fifteen minutes later, just when Qiao Ruoxi was about to give up, her phone buzzed. She smiled sheepishly and said, "Excuse me, everyone. I need to take a call."
"Go ahead." The director waved his hand.
Qiao Ruoxi went out to get some fresh air and sobered up a little. She took a while to calm down before answering the phone.
"Ruoxi, how are you now? Is Sister Lin not here?" The female voice on the other end of the phone was filled with deep concern.
Qiao Ruoxi panted softly, "I'm at the ZX Restaurant. Sister Lin went on maternity leave a few days ago, and the assistant happened to have an emergency and asked for leave today."
"Don't act rashly. I'm just one intersection away. Wait for me to pick you up!"
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Qiao Ruoxi pinched the flesh on her legs hard, forcing herself to stay awake, and went back with a slightly flushed face.
"Director, I'm sorry, my friend asked me to come over for something urgent. I'm sorry that I can't continue to eat with you all."
When everyone heard this, no one said anything.
"It's okay, it's okay. We can eat more without you." Someone joked.
Everyone laughed, except Guo Meixian, who noticed the clue and was unhappy. But at this time, she didn't know what to say, so she could only hold her chopsticks tightly, very unwilling.
