Gu Nan, trying to find excuses to comfort herself, discovered more and more problems the more she looked at the menu.
This restaurant specializing in stews cooked in an iron pot doesn't have a single Northeastern Chinese dish. Besides stewed goose, it only has hot pot ingredients; even the classic sweet and sour pork isn't available.
Although he sensed something was wrong, Gu Nan gritted his teeth and said, "Waiter!" because he had spoken so confidently beforehand.
With the help of the waitress, Gu Nan reluctantly ordered the food.
After ordering the food, Gu Nan felt more at ease.
Thankfully, the aroma of this restaurant was enough to make it worth the expense.
As long as he can continue his engagement with Shen Lanxin, and as long as his novel makes its debut, this money is nothing!
"I'm going to the restroom."
Originally, Shen Lanxin was still wondering if Shen Jing had any feelings for Mu Liuyun. Because in the past, she often saw Shen Jing talking to Mu Liuyun alone, and recently Shen Jing had been speaking ill of Mu Liuyun in front of her every day.
Although Shen Lanxin had never been in a relationship, she understood interpersonal relationships very well. She could tell that Shen Jing's purpose in speaking ill of Mu Liuyun was to make her dislike Mu Liuyun.
Why would you do this with crystal precipitation?
However, Shen Lanxin was so happy that she had successfully exchanged a few words with Mu Liuyun that she had no time to consider Shen Jing's thoughts and took the initiative to leave her seat.
She had been busy all morning and rushed over without even washing her hands.
Even if she didn't have high expectations for the meal, she still couldn't eat without washing her hands.
"Lanxin, I'll take you there."
Gu Nan immediately stood up. Before entering the store, he had already determined the location of the restroom on this floor.
Shen Lanxin nodded, then looked at Shen Jing: "Shen Jing, shall we come together?"
"Mr. Shen, I'll wait a moment, have some hot water before I go."
Shen Jing gave a polite and well-mannered smile, remaining seated as if she wanted nothing more than to push Mu Liuyun into the wall.
As soon as Shen Lanxin and Gu Nan walked out of the restaurant, Shen Jing's expression immediately changed. She turned around fiercely, about to speak, but suddenly froze in place.
What does it smell like? It smells so good.
Seeing Shen Jing's large face pressed against hers, Mu Liuyun could only turn her head away as much as possible to avoid smelling more perfume.
"You smell so good?"
"Maybe the shampoo wasn't rinsed off properly?"
Mu Liuyun had many thoughts in her mind. If she had to say, she had quite a few women around her. But all the women she knew seemed to have some kind of serious illness.
Shen Jing, you're practically face to face with me, and you're still asking me why I smell so good?
Mu Liuyun's words brought Shen Jing back to her senses. She bit her lip and said, "No, that's not what I wanted to ask you. You should know what I wanted to tell you when I stayed, right?"
Mu Liuyun reached out to scratch his head, only to find that any movement would inevitably result in him touching Chen Jing. To avoid being accused of taking advantage of her, he could only put his hand down.
"Is it because my skin is acting up lately?"
"Yeah, what? What do I care if your skin is good or not? I'm not your manager!"
Shen Jing was surprised by Mu Liuyun's answer, and her voice unconsciously rose.
Seeing this, Mu Liuyun also raised her voice: "Whether my skin is good or not is none of your business, so why are you standing so close to my face!"
Upon hearing Mu Liuyun's words, Shen Jing realized that she had been too forward and shifted her position to the right, giving Mu Liuyun some space to move around.
Then she turned around with a serious expression, glared at Mu Liuyun, and whispered a warning to him: "I don't know how you found this place, but don't even think about bothering President Chen and Brother Nan."
"Disturbing them? Miss Shen, you must have misunderstood something. Am I, Mu Liuyun, not even allowed to go out for a meal?"
Even Mu Liuyun, who was praised by her elementary school teacher for her good temper as "gentle as a breeze, always able to easily resolve the trivialities of life," couldn't bear being wronged like this.
"You don't think I'd actually want to see you, do you?"
That's true. If Jincheng weren't so small, he would have preferred never to see Shen Lanxin again. As for Shen Jing and Gu Nan, they would be irrelevant to him even if they died.
Seeing Mu Liuyun angry, Shen Jing assumed he was just embarrassed and furious, and couldn't help but sneer: "Let me tell you, I've seen plenty of people like you. Don't think you're so great just because you have a contract with President Shen. No matter how good you are, this isn't how you cross social classes!"
After saying that, Shen Jing wished she could slap herself.
Shen Jing, what are you saying?! What do you mean by "smells good"? I think you're really hungry!
"Don't worry, I have absolutely no interest in your Mr. Shen!"
Upon hearing Mu Liuyun's words, Shen Jing's face suddenly lit up with joy, but then she curled her lip as if she had seen something disgusting: "So you're interested in me? That's even more disgusting. I can't stand someone like you!"
Mu Liuyun laughed angrily: "I have no interest in old women!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Jing stood up abruptly and slammed her hand on the table. The words "old woman" were the last thing she wanted to hear.
Although she wasn't as beautiful as Shen Lanxin, a top-tier beauty, she was definitely a campus beauty in college. However, after graduation, she became the most outstanding one.
Although Shen Lanxin was also very busy with work, she mostly stayed in the office to process documents and make decisions. But Shen Jing had many more things to do. She would go to other places one day and fly abroad the next, which made her skin age very quickly. She already had wrinkles before she was thirty years old and could only cover them up with a lot of cosmetics.
Therefore, the words "old woman" are almost her bottom line.
Suddenly, she found a loophole in Mu Liuyun's words, and after calming herself down, she sneered: "Since you don't want to meet us and have no interest in us, what are you doing here?"
"I want to leave too! You blocked me in as soon as you arrived. Do you expect me to crawl through the table to get out?"
Shen Jing suddenly realized that it seemed she really had been trapped inside as soon as she arrived. Upon realizing this, Shen Jing's momentum suddenly weakened.
"You're so small and thin, it's not impossible for you."
After saying this, Shen Jing saw Mu Liuyun glaring at her, swallowed hard, and quickly stood up to make way for Mu Liuyun.
Seeing Shen Jing's attitude of regarding her as something dirty, Mu Liuyun suddenly didn't want to leave.
Why should he put up with all this humiliation if he's living for himself?
"I'm not leaving today. I'm going to eat this meal whether I want to or not!"
If you want to use this meal to improve your relationship, then I'm going to be the third wheel today!
Even if he lacked the financial resources to confront the Shen family, and even if he lacked the physical strength to beat up the woman in front of him, his rich life experience meant he could still make them feel disgusted.
"you!"
