The restaurant the two decided to go to was nearby and had rave reviews online, praising its excellent food and ambiance. That's why they decided to try it together.
Pei Wu was happy that Shen Yu Nan had made friends. He was aloof and liked to shoulder things on his own, which would eventually cause health problems. Now that he had such a talkative friend, it was a good thing.
It was lunchtime, and such a famous restaurant would definitely have long queues. Fortunately, Jiang Yue's father was clever and made a reservation a day in advance.
When Pei Wu saw that Ju Heng had called her back, she said, "I have an important call to take, please excuse me for a moment."
“Okay.” Jiang Yue’s mother is a senior executive at a foreign company; she is well-mannered and has good taste.
Shen Yu'nan watched Pei Wu's departing figure until she disappeared from sight before turning his gaze away. "Ahem..."
"Did you cook the medicinal food I gave you? Trust me, it's true. When we get back, I'll take you to see that traditional Chinese medicine doctor and have him prescribe some Chinese medicine to help you recover." Jiang Yue's father covered his mouth and chuckled, then leaned forward slightly and whispered something to Shen Yunan.
Jiang Yue's father lowered his voice so much that it was hard to hear what he was saying. But Shen Yunan's ears turned slightly red. He subconsciously licked his lips and opened his mouth slightly, looking a little dazed.
After Jiang Yue's father mysteriously withdrew his action, Shen Yunan pretended to tilt his head slightly and take a sip of the water beside him. However, the tips of his ears and even the area below his ears were slightly red, and his delicate Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed the water.
At this moment, Jiang Yue's father smiled and said in a low voice, "You're a father of two now, yet you're still so thin-skinned."
At this moment, Shen Yu Nan's phone, which was on the table, also 'buzzed'. Shen Yu Nan looked down and saw that it was his good friend Ji Cong Yan.
"Excuse me, I'll have to go for a moment too."
Shen Yu Nan walked a little further away before pressing the answer button.
"Hello."
Shen Yu'nan's voice was low and slightly hoarse, which contrasted sharply with Ji Congyan's high-pitched voice on the other end of the phone.
"Do you know who I just ran into at the police station? I actually bumped into Ju Heng, the secretary who works for President Pei!"
It turned out that after hanging up with Shen Yunan, Ji Congyan went to the police station. When the police first called him, he used "overtime" as an excuse. At that time, he was already on his way home. The police officers who responded to the call were from the police station near their rented apartment complex, and he arrived at the police station quickly.
When he arrived there, he took the initiative to explain his purpose. While waiting for the family to come and negotiate, he encountered Ju Heng, who had come on Pei Wu's orders.
"Do you know what he said to me? He actually told me he was handling Mr. Pei's family affairs? Do you think you're hiding something from me? What's your relationship with Mr. Pei?"
Ji Congyan speaks quite quickly.
"..." Shen Yu Nan paused for a moment and then asked, "Is the matter resolved?" He added, "As for the rest, I'll tell you when we meet after I return from out of town. I don't mean to hide anything from you."
“With Secretary Ju Heng involved, it’s hard to imagine it not being resolved,” Ji Congyan sighed. “Alright, it’s really hard to explain over the phone. Let’s talk about it when you get back. Don’t think about it anymore. Take care of yourself. It’s a cold snap lately; the temperature is several degrees colder than during the Lunar New Year.”
"good."
Pei Wu returned to the table a step faster than Shen Yu Nan. The waiters were serving the dishes. After arranging the dishes, the staff took out a bottle of red wine and placed it on the table. The red wine was exquisitely packaged, and a glance at it revealed that it was expensive. Anyone in the know would know that this bottle of wine was not easy to obtain.
“We didn’t order any alcohol,” Jiang Yue’s mother said.
"This is a bottle of red wine that our General Manager Qiao gave to you, General Manager Pei. He said you are a distinguished guest of our store, and he also asked me to tell you that this is the bottle that he snatched from you at the auction last time."
When Pei Wu heard the other person mention her, she finally looked up at the staff member serving the food.
After receiving Pei Wu's gaze, the staff member raised his hand and gestured towards the second floor. Pei Wu looked in the direction the staff member pointed and saw a man holding a glass of red wine. The man was wearing a bespoke suit and was leaning against the glass railing. When he saw Pei Wu looking up at him, he raised the glass in his hand.
Pei Wu then vaguely remembered that this man was the one she had just bumped into in the corridor. It was just a fleeting moment, and she hadn't paid any attention to him.
Only after seeing his face clearly these days did I manage to recall this man named 'Qiao Yi' from my memory.
