Chapter 79 You'll Regret It
Is this a blatant attempt to prevent anyone from clarifying the situation? Is the group admin in cahoots with him?
Xu Songning put down his crossed legs, sat up straight, and sent a message in the trio's group chat to discuss how to resolve the matter.
In the kitchen, Xiang Yun was stir-frying lettuce. This time, he didn't mess it up. The lettuce was still a bright green color, and after sprinkling it with soy sauce, it really looked just like the finished product in the tutorial he found.
As I was serving the food, my phone vibrated in my pocket.
Two, three...
Only Gu Xing would dare to harass him so boldly. Sometimes, Xiang Yun really wanted to mute his messages.
My legs were shaking so badly, but Gu Xing was still sending messages on the other end.
Seeing that Xiang Yun didn't reply, Gu Xing made a phone call directly.
"Get to the point." Xiang Yun turned off the stove.
"What a heartless man! I made an overseas call just to give you the latest news, and it seems like someone doesn't appreciate it. Fine, I'll shut up then."
"Gu Xing, international calls are expensive, don't waste my money."
"Then you'd better not regret it, or you'll miss this opportunity!"
Xiang Yun hung up the phone immediately.
If he weren't having dinner with Xu Songning, Xiang Yun could have listened to Gu Xing's nonsense for a while, but the food was getting cold, and he wanted to show off his cooking skills, so he couldn't waste this opportunity.
The blanched lettuce was placed on the table, and the rice cooker indicator light went off, indicating that the rice was cooked.
Xiang Yun set out the food, took off his apron, and called to Xu Songning, who was busy typing, "Dinner's ready."
The roles of host and guest seemed to be reversed in an instant.
Xu Songning sat down at the dining table with a displeased expression. His furrowed brows revealed his annoyance, which was so obvious that it was impossible to ignore.
"What's wrong?" Xiang Yun asked with concern.
It seems Xiang Yun was indeed unaware of what was happening in the East China Civil Aviation Group.
"Let's eat first, we can talk while we eat, I'm starving." Xu Songning picked up his chopsticks, saw the lettuce, and exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Wow, your cooking skills have improved, Yun-ge!"
Xiang Yun picked up a piece with his chopsticks. "Let me try it first."
The lettuce was crisp and smooth, glistening with juice, and tasted great—a far cry from the dark, murky mess we had last time.
He nodded subtly, "Not bad, you should try it."
Xu Songning smiled and picked up a piece with his chopsticks. He was amazed when he tasted it. "Brother Yun, did you learn to cook? How did you improve so much in such a short time? I've been cooking this dish for two or three years, and it still tastes pretty much the same."
"Yes, I learned it by watching videos."
"You can really learn by watching videos? Then you should learn a few more dishes. I'd like to come over for a meal," Xu Songning said with a smile.
Xiang Yun resides in Shanghai and his current flight routes also circle around Shanghai, spending most of the month there.
He would find it troublesome to cook for himself.
He was happy to cook for several people who wanted to freeload, since eating with two people was more interesting than eating alone. When you're alone, you can eat whatever you want, but when you're with someone, you can talk to them.
"Okay, I'll learn." Xiang Yun looked at her. "And what about your matter? Are you planning to tell me?"
Xu Songning recounted the events of the day in detail, which made Xiang Yun frown. He remembered that when Xu Songning confronted Song Qing'an at the airport last time, Song Qing'an told her to wait. He never expected that she would actually spread rumors about her in the group chat. It was truly despicable.
"Have you managed to contact Meng Ling?" Xiang Yun asked.
Xu Songning nodded and showed him the latest message Lu Xiaomeng had sent her. "Meng Ling was on Song Qing'an's flight today. The two mortal enemies ran into each other. Song Qing'an was making things difficult for her. She also encountered me on the landing. Did he not check the almanac before he left home?"
Xiang Yun put down his chopsticks. "His affair is his problem. It has nothing to do with Meng Ling or you."
"He's just an irresponsible man. The group admin even rejected my friend request, letting him spread rumors in the group. I wonder what kind of rumors will spread tomorrow." Xu Songning sighed, "Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast."
Xiang Yun was indeed not in the East China Civil Aviation Group, but he knew there was one person who definitely was.
Gu Xing sent him a lot of messages, all of which were screenshots about Xu Songning. When Xu Songning told him about this, she only said that Song Qing'an was spreading rumors about her, but she did not repeat the content of the rumors to him.
When he saw the rumors about Xu Songning appearing in a group chat with hundreds of people, a flame of anger suddenly rose within him, and he felt angry for Xu Songning.
Song Qing'an is truly disgusting!
"Don't worry, someone can help," Xiang Yun comforted her, and, meeting her curious gaze, called Gu Xing.
Xu Songning rested her chin on her hand and took a bite of beef. "Gu Xing? Is he in that group? Even if he is, he can't be of much help."
“I have a way,” Xiang Yun said.
"What method?" Xu Songning blinked, sat up straight, and looked at him curiously.
Xiang Yun put his finger to his lips, making a shushing gesture, keeping everyone in suspense and deliberately not saying anything.
Xu Songning's curiosity was piqued, and he stared intently at his phone.
No one answered the phone.
Xu Songning was somewhat disappointed. "He's probably busy."
"I can answer the phone even when I'm busy."
Xiang Yun calmly sent a message, and Xu Songning only saw a few words before Gu Xing's phone immediately popped up.
The phone vibrated and rang simultaneously. Xiang Yun tapped the table with his finger, deliberately ignoring him for more than ten seconds before slowly answering the call.
Gu Xing yelled angrily on the other end of the phone, "Xiang Yun! Can't you speak properly?! You're the one who regretted it and wanted to contact me, but you're threatening me instead, aren't you?"
"You're not answering the phone," Xiang Yun said slowly.
Gu Xing gritted his teeth, wishing he could reach out along the electric current, grab his best friend by the neck, and ask him what he was thinking, "You were the one who hung up on me first!"
"Okay, I don't want to argue with you about such childish issues."
"Is it childish? Let your sister-in-law judge for herself, where exactly is it childish? This is clearly a matter of a man's dignity! I told you not to regret it, and now you regret it, huh! Now you're coming to beg me, huh! Humph!"
Gu Xing's smug voice rang out, humming and hawing with unbridled pride, "I never thought you'd ever ask me for anything. When you ask for favors, please be more sincere, don't threaten people!"
"How about we let Xu Songning judge whether it's childish or not?" Xiang Yun pushed the phone towards the center, his smiling eyes giving Xu Songning a signal to speak.
Xu Songning was already thoroughly amused, and when he greeted him, his voice was still filled with undisguised laughter, "Hello! Captain Gu."
"Snap! Beep beep beep beep..."
The call was abruptly ended, as if a heavy object had been slammed down on the phone; the call was abruptly cut off in a fit of rage.
Before Xu Songning could even laugh at him, the call was disconnected. "What should we do? Call back?"
"Wait."
"Wait?"
