"Oh ho, is Little Rocket your family member?" Jin Xiangyu observed his expression and extended an invitation familiarly, "Then let's go together."
Jian Yan's face was as red as a ripe apple. She lowered her head and twirled her fingers. "Sister Yu, this is my senior."
Yuan Mu was a little embarrassed; Jian Yan's colleague was too enthusiastic. "Sister Yu, hello. Jian Yan and I... went to the same school."
Jin Xiangyu's smile became even more enigmatic. "Beware of fire, theft, and older male classmates—do you think I don't understand?" Seeing through her lies without saying a word, she then turned to Xue Qiandai and said, "Dai Dai, quickly call your family!"
Xue Qiandai waved her hand and sat down arrogantly in the booth, complaining, "Sister Yu, that's not very kind of you. You should have said so earlier if you could bring your family, otherwise what if your family doesn't have time?"
"I was wrong, I'll definitely tell you earlier next time. Call me!" Jin Xiangyu readily agreed, showing great tolerance and generosity.
However, before Xue Qiandai could make a call, another family member arrived at the door.
"Dai Dai, Jian Xiaoyan!"
The person who arrived was Qin Shu, all smiles and beaming.
Everyone had met Huo Yunchao before and knew he was the real Dai Dai's family member. Well…
"You're alone? Why didn't he come?" Xue Qiandai asked, sounding disappointed.
Qin Shu smiled and said, "He's busy with a client appointment. You guys are off work, right? Come on, let's go eat. Jian Xiaoyan, come along too."
This was the second time Qin Shu had called out "Jian Xiaoyan." Yuan Mu's expression turned grim, sensing a hint of crisis. He had previously interviewed Huo Yunchao and learned that Qin Shu was his co-founder; after the sale of Happy Farm, Qin Shu's net worth was in the tens of millions.
“I’m not going to our restaurant’s get-together,” Jian Yan said irritably. She didn’t like people who changed her name without her permission.
"That's great! Count me in for the dinner party!" Qin Shu was proud of himself for infiltrating Dai Dai's inner circle, and he could show off to Huo Yunchao later.
Suddenly, You Duoduo asked, "Our restaurant's dinner party is only for family members. Whose family member are you?"
That was a brilliant finishing touch.
Qin Shu glanced at Xue Qiandai. He dared not pretend to be a relative of Dai Dai; Old Huo would be furious if he knew, and would skin him alive. He had a sudden inspiration and said loudly, "I am considered a relative of Jian Xiaoyan."
Xue Qiandai: "..." She glared at Qin Shu fiercely, her mouth running wild.
Yuan Mu: "..." Where did this unexpected trouble come from? Did his bad premonition come true?
Jian Yan: "..."
Being a "chuunibyou" (a person with delusions of grandeur) is an illness, and it needs to be cured!
With red eyes, Jian Yan explained to Yuan Mu, "Senior, I'm not familiar with this Mr. Qin Shu, really not familiar with him."
This time, Qin Shufeng was completely bewildered. After all, they had shared walks, meals, and coffee together—a revolutionary friendship. How could Jian Xiaoyan have so cleanly severed ties? Looking at the other two, even Qin Shufeng, if he were an idiot, would understand: he'd met his real family.
He coughed awkwardly, wondering how to explain. Xue Qiandai spoke up: "Senior Yuan, this is my senior. He was just joking."
It's not funny at all.
Yuan Mu was also embarrassed, and managed to squeeze out a few words: "That's good."
Seeing that everyone was almost there, Jin Xiangyu said, "Shall we set off for Yunhai Cuisine?"
Everyone packed their things, locked the door, and found Lan Shan standing at the door with a cup of coffee, not moving.
"Blue Coffee, are you gone?"
Lan Shan then realized, "You guys go first. Um... Miss Zhao said she'll be here in a bit. I'll give her the coffee and then come find you."
What's going on?
What a wonderful day!
You Duoduo looked Lan Shan up and down. "Brother Lan, ever since Miss Zhao got your phone number, she hasn't called the shop to order coffee. You guys..."
There's something going on!
"Ru Feng?" A sweet voice called out. Zhao Jiening stood five meters away on the roadside. Today she was wearing a sunflower-printed dress and looked graceful.
Who is Ru Feng? After a while, everyone realized that it was Lan Shan.
With a stern face, Lan Shan stepped forward and shoved the coffee into Zhao Jiening's hand, saying, "Your cappuccino." Then he turned and left.
But Zhao Jiening's next words made him want to vomit blood: "I didn't order coffee."
Yes, Zhao Jiening texted Lanshan, saying she would come over in a bit.
Blue Mountain: "..."
Everyone: "..." You come to a coffee shop not to drink coffee, are you here to talk about love?
Zhao Jiening: "..." Sorry, you guessed right, oops, I got led astray.
A battle of wits ensued.
"Ru Feng, I've come to invite you to dinner. You may like coffee, but coffee can't replace a meal. How about we have dinner together? It's on me."
"There's a get-together at the store today," Lan Shan said awkwardly.
As the boss, Jin Xiangyu naturally knew Zhao Jiening, and she couldn't have been happier to have the opportunity to get close to a V-VIP.
"Miss Zhao, why don't you join our Lightyear family and get together with us?"
You Duoduo added another witty remark: "Didn't we say everyone could bring one family member? Whose family member is Miss Zhao?"
You should know that You Duoduo used to answer Ms. Zhao's calls.
Zhao Jiening raised her little hand high, "I'm considered a member of Rufeng's family."
Everyone had: "..."
Realizing she had been too enthusiastic and outgoing, Zhao Jiening scratched her head and feigned shyness, saying, "I'm a coffee drinker. I had a very pleasant chat with Rufeng, also known as Mr. Lan, last time. It's nice to meet you all."
