Chapter 168 Stealing a man?

Before leaving get off work, Shuang Xu received a call from Lu Manman.

"If you're free tonight, I'll treat you to a drink." Lu Manman said in a coquettish voice.

Shuang Xu read the report and said, "You can buy me a drink, but I'm a little scared by your behavior. What's your plan?"

"There is no conspiracy." Lu Manman spoke normally, "I am now following the order of our Queen Mother, who wants me to spend more time with you to cultivate our relationship. She originally wanted to invite you to dinner at our house, but last time you refused our heirloom jade, and she was afraid that you would be scared again, so she gave me her card and asked me to treat you to dinner. But I think drinking is more interesting than eating."

Speaking of He Wenjing, Shuang Xu asked, "Did your mother's attitude change too quickly?"

"My family is thick-skinned. There's no need to overdo it." Lu Manman has a clear self-awareness. "It's a thick skin that's passed down from my ancestors."

Shuang Xu smiled and looked at his watch: "I still have half an hour before I get off work."

"Then I'll go to the Blue Night and wait for you."

When Shuang Xu was about to leave after get off work, she ran into Shu Yang and Cheng Xiye, and Shu Yang asked her if she wanted to have dinner together.

Shuang Xu said: "Man Man and I have an appointment to go to Blue Night for a drink."

Shu Yang waved his hands and said, "Then you guys go have fun. I'll go eat with the Master."

Cheng Xi also stared at Shuang Xu's departing back. Shu Yang caught a glimpse of his expression and said, "You want to go."

Cheng Xi also scratched his ear and said, "Miss Lu hasn't been here for a long time."

When Shuang Xu arrived at Lan Ye, Lu Manman had already arrived and was sitting in the booth, waving at her.

The lights in the bar vibrated with the drumbeats, and Shuang Xu walked towards her through the crowd: "There's a bit of traffic on the road, have you been waiting for a long time?"

"Not long, not long." Lu Manman leaned forward and lowered her voice by two decibels. "But you have to be mentally prepared. It just so happens that your old enemy, the Mean Girls, is right at your 9 o'clock position today."

"Since when do I have such a thing as an old enemy?"

Mean girl group? Who would name themselves like that?

Shuang Xu looked towards the nine o'clock direction and met several unfriendly gazes - the people over there were also looking at her.

There was a group of people sitting in the booth over there, both men and women. The women were all dressed brightly. The face in the center was young and bold, and the look he gave her from the side was arrogant.

Realizing that the so-called mean girl group that Lu Manman mentioned was Song Leyan's group of sisters, Shuang Xu couldn't help but laugh, but had to admit that it was very apt.

"Just a friendly reminder that you used to be a member of this group."

"An extra member!" Lu Manman corrected sternly, "I just had no one to play with so I played with them a few times. It turned out that I was not compatible with this group, so I rejected their offer. Besides, who hasn't made small mistakes when they were young?"

Shuang Xu raised his eyebrows: "I don't have any."

Lu Manman snorted softly: "You didn't lose your footing? How long did you stay in your brother's pit before you climbed out?"

Shuang Xu was speechless.

Very well, the personal attacks have begun.

"It's even," she said.

Lu Manman raised her fist and said, "Don't mention these two things anymore."

Shuang Xu touched her and the deal was done.

The drinks and snacks were delivered quickly. Shuang Xu and Lu Manman drank and chatted, talking and laughing, and didn't pay any attention to the group on the other side.

The women kept keeping an eye on them.

Song Leyan was arranged by Cui Ning to attend the summer camp of an Ivy League school. She had been staying abroad for some time. During the short time she was away, a lot of things happened in Yancheng.

"Le Yan, you haven't been here for a while, so you didn't know that the two of them are playing together now."

"I don't know what Lu Manman was thinking. Her fiancé was kidnapped, and she's still playing with him."

"By the way, your sister is hooking up with that guy from the He family again. Have you heard about it?"

"She is very high-profile. A few days ago, she was holding hands in public at a banquet, as if she was afraid that others would not know. You didn't see how proud she was. I think she is determined to marry into the He family."

The men inside were all very young, staring straight at that place: "That is the famous Miss Song."

Song Leyan saw the interest in their eyes and sneered, "If you want to pick me up, just go for it. Let's see if you have the guts."

The man said awkwardly: "How dare we touch Master Zhou's woman?"

Halfway through the drink, Lu Manman went to the bathroom, and Shuang Xu sat in his seat drinking and waiting for her.

After waiting for a long time and seeing no one come back, the bar waiter came over and said to her, "Ms. Song, Miss Lu had a conflict with your sister."

Shuang Xu immediately stood up and followed him, asking on the way: "What's going on?"

"I'm not sure, it seems like your sister fell in love with a man, and Miss Lu wanted to snatch him from her, so the two of them started to quarrel."

Competing with Song Leyan for a man? Lu Manman would never do such a boring thing.

The waiter brought Shuang Xu to the bar, where quite a few people were already gathered.

Behind Song Leyan stood her group of little sisters, with great momentum. The man who was blocked behind Lu Manman had very fair skin, delicate features and curly hair - it was Cheng Xiye.

After being tricked by the twin sisters last time, Lu Manman said goodbye to Song Leyan’s group of sisters.

I didn't expect that Cheng Xi would also get into a fight today.

Lu Manman raised the corner of her lips and showed a generous smile: "This person is mine, you can't flirt with her."

"If you like it, I'll give it to you." He's just a man, Song Leyan is not that interested. Their real point of conflict lies with Shuang Xu.

"But we are friends, right? Are you going to go play with Song Shuangxu to go against me?"

"You think too much. No one wants to go against you." Lu Manman made a gesture of opening her hands to the sides, "You can try to open your mind a little and stop staring at Xiaojiu all the time."

Song Leyan sneered, "Xiaojiu, you're being so affectionate. She ruined your engagement with Shen Yu. You forgot how she slapped you in the face, right? Not only can you not win her over, but you still shamelessly follow her around. Come on, you're the eldest daughter of the Lu family, don't you have any self-esteem?"

Even when hanging out with them, Lu Manman never had to flatter them. She was the eldest daughter of the Lu family, and her uncle was Commander He. No matter how mean Song Leyan was to others, she had to be polite to Lu Manman.

The former "good sisters" have now become strangers. She came to cause trouble, but Lu Manman was not afraid of a falling out: "I can judge these things myself. You don't have to be sarcastic. You and I have different values. Even if Xiaojiu was not there, you and I would not be good sisters. At most, we are just drinking buddies."

To be honest, she and Song Leyan were not very close at first, but because she had lived in Lincheng since she was a child, she was not familiar with the circle in Yancheng when she first came back. She was in the same situation as Song Leyan, who had also just returned to the country, so they naturally got to know each other.

She had no chance to contact Shuang Xu before because Shuang Xu was sent to the United States shortly after she returned.

But when it comes to compatibility, it is obvious that she and Shuang Xu can get along better.

Lu Manman shrugged: "And to be honest, it's actually quite embarrassing to be hanging out with your Mean Girl group. It's basically my dark history."

Song Leyan's face darkened, and she crossed her arms and said in a sinister tone, "You and her have the same values? She and Shen Yu have been having an affair and living together for more than ten years. Do you also have such shameless values?"

There were many people watching the excitement around. Lu Manman's tone became unusually stern: "Song Leyan, watch your mouth."

"What did I say that was not clean? If it was not clean, it was her own fault and that of Shen Yu..."

Shuang Xu walked forward and cast a cold gaze on Song Leyan's face: "Take back what you said."

The lines on her face were gentle, but she looked at people coldly, giving off a sense of oppression.

"If you ask me to accept it, I will?" Song Leyan said disdainfully, "You have no sense of shame and don't let others say anything. You have been flirting with Shen Yu and now you are hooking up with He Tingzhou. Shen Yu didn't teach you anything good. He only taught you how to please a man, right..."

Shuang Xu took two steps forward, and the people who were originally standing behind Song Leyan reflexively stepped back.

The fate of the twins was the best threat. Song Leyan was not afraid, but they were all afraid.

He is sharp-tongued and shivers like a quail when something happens.

"What? Do you want to hit me again? Do you think I won't learn my lesson after being hurt once?"

They were standing at a distance, and Song Leyan didn't believe she could hit her. But before she could finish her words, Shuang Xu picked up the wine on the bar and splashed it on her face.

She was caught off guard by the splash and stood there with her mouth open, the wine flowing down her face.

"I think you really don't have a good memory." Shuang Xu put the cup back. "If your mouth is so dirty, just wash it. If you can't learn to speak, just shut up. Your father works in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, haven't you learned any etiquette of speaking?"

Someone took a tissue to wipe Song Leyan's face, but she waved it away: "Song Shuangxu, are you looking for death?"

She picked up a cup in a rage and threw it at Shuang Xu.

Shuang Xu had anticipated her move and dodged to the side in time, but she didn't expect that Lu Manman instinctively reached out to block it for her.

"Xiaojiu, be careful!"

The heavy glass hit Lu Manman's hand and then fell to the ground. The sharp and crisp sound was out of place in the noisy bar.

No one expected that Lu Manman would use her hands to block Shuang Xu's attack. Song Leyan herself was stunned. Lu Manman's expression gradually became painful. She bent over in pain: "Ahhh, it hurts so much!"

The people behind were all stunned.

If they hurt Lu Manman, they would be in big trouble.
