"We're almost there." Gu Yuan saw Lin Sui sitting up and thought she was anxious.
When Lin Sui saw the Maserati parked at the villa next to Zhou Dang's house, her expression was extremely ugly. She had thought that no one lived in this villa before. Who would have thought that it was for rent?
"Wow, this place is so grand," Lily exclaimed from the bottom of her heart. "If I could live here, I would die without regrets."
Lin Sui cooperated symbolically and quickly got out of the car and ran to the villa. Although Zhou Dang should not be at home at this time, she was also afraid of meeting him!
After entering the villa and settling into their rooms, everyone took a short break. Lin Sui lay on the bed, her mind in turmoil. She was terrified of meeting Zhou Dang, but also a little bit looking forward to it. She wanted to see how he was doing. After all, he was the father of her unborn child.
Lily and Lin Sui shared a room. Unlike Lin Sui, she was extremely curious about the villa and wandered around without feeling tired at all. Seeing Lin Sui looking as calm as if he were at home, she couldn't help but ask, "Mai Sui, are you from a wealthy family? Why do you seem so used to villas?"
Lin Sui's heart tightened, and she quickly replied, "Aren't all the villas in TV dramas like this? After seeing them so many times, it feels like I've been here many times."
Lily nodded, "Yeah, it's pretty much the same as in the TV show."
In the evening, Gu Yuan invited a barbecue chef to have a BBQ in the open kitchen. Everyone sat at the long table and raised their glasses. Lin Sui silently changed to Coke.
"Mai Sui, why don't you drink?" a colleague asked.
"I'm taking medicine recently and can't drink alcohol. Sorry." Lin Sui made up a lie.
Fortunately, no one made things difficult for her. Everyone ate and drank. There was a KTV in the villa, and gradually, they started to eat and sing.
Gu Yuan was a big fan of Jay Chou, and he sang a few of his love songs, which drew screams from the women in the audience. Lin Sui clapped along, her mind preoccupied with her own affairs.
Qin Chen called and she ran to the room to answer it.
"Did you have a good time? Sui Sui, I called you to tell you that I found the address of the store! It's near the MixC. Although the rent is a bit expensive, there are a lot of people!" Qin Chen's tone was overjoyed.
"Really? That's great!" Lin Sui was happy for Qin Chen from the bottom of her heart!
"Yeah, next I'll be busy with the store renovations, and try to open it before New Year's Day."
"Thank you for your hard work. I see you've been so busy lately that you've lost weight." Lin Sui said while sitting on the bed.
"It's okay, I just miss you so much. You know what I mean." Qin Chen rarely flirted on the phone.
Lin Sui stopped talking. How could she not know? But she couldn't do that now!
"When you come back, you must compensate me well." Qin Chen said with a smile.
"Yeah, I'm going to hang up first. Everyone called me."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Sui was annoyed to death. When he looked up, he found that it had started snowing outside the window.
Qin Chen stood in front of the shop, signing the contract with the landlord in the snow. He was excited. He had finally made some progress in his work. He planned to keep the budget for rent and renovations to 500,000 yuan. Hiring people would be another expense, so he had to be frugal.
He really wanted to celebrate with Lin Sui, but Lin Sui was not there, so he went to the bar by himself and prepared to have a drink before going home.
Sitting at the bar, he ordered a glass of whiskey. After taking a few sips, he saw an old acquaintance.
Zhou Dang was sitting in the middle booth, surrounded by a group of people. He crossed his legs, squinted his eyes and smoked, his eyes full of indifference. The woman sitting next to him was obviously from a nightclub, and she was holding Zhou Dang's arm and shaking it.
Qin Chen turned his gaze away and continued drinking his wine.
He didn't feel any resentment in his heart. His situation had plummeted from heaven to earth, while Zhou Dang's life was always prosperous. But he knew that this world was so unfair. He had no family background and could only rely on himself.
Zhou Dang also noticed Qin Chen. With a smile on his face, he looked at Qin Chen sitting alone at the bar, drinking alone. He felt inexplicably happy.
What? Are you having a bad time, so you come here to get drunk?
He stood up, slowly picked up a glass of wine, and walked towards Qin Chen.
"Have a drink?" Zhou Dang's low voice sounded. Qin Chen glanced sideways and looked at Zhou Dang. He didn't know what he meant and didn't say anything.
Zhou Dang sat down next to Qin Chen and said, "You seem to be very quiet lately. Are you preparing for the civil service exam?"
Qin Chen ignored him and drank his wine.
"Actually, I don't want to kill you. It's pretty boring if you're not in business anymore. How about this: you keep doing it, and I won't mess with you for a year. If you're still not doing well after a year, I won't do anything to you. When you succeed, we can compare our strengths, okay?"
Qin Chen sneered and continued to ignore Zhou Dang.
Zhou Dang didn't care and continued drinking. Suddenly he smiled and continued to ask.
"I have a question that I'm curious about. Do you know that I'm married?"
Qin Chen finally looked Zhou Dang in the eye. He was a little surprised: "Are you married?"
"It seems that your relationship with Lin Sui is not very good. On the day she and I got our divorce certificate, we also got our marriage certificate." Zhou Dang shrugged.
Qin Chen suppressed his surprise. Lin Sui indeed didn't tell him.
"But you don't have to be happy too soon. I guess I'll be divorced again soon." Zhou Dang said self-deprecatingly.
Qin Chen's expression was speechless. How familiar was he with Zhou Dang? Why did he come here to tell him this?
"I'm not saying anything, but why haven't you and Lin Sui gotten married yet?" Zhou Dang finished the wine in his glass. "Could it be that after being together at all costs, you've discovered that your relationship is just like that, tasteless and a pity to abandon it?"
Qin Chen imitated Zhou Dang's classic move and shrugged, "No comment."
On the other side, Lin Sui was being urged to sing a song. Everyone started singing, leaving only Lin Sui. Some people speculated that she was tone-deaf. Lin Sui didn't explain, saying she was just in a bad mood and had no intention of singing.
Gu Yuan came over, handed the microphone to Lin Sui, and joined in the cheering, "Sing a song, let me see what your style is like."
Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Lin Sui stood up and ordered a song called "The Heroine".
When the lyrics appeared, everyone was shocked. They were not only surprised that Lin Sui sang well and spoke Cantonese fluently, but also because of the explosive lyrics...
I want to pretend I have no soul
But you called me sexy
I really want to steal, kidnap, and seduce
After the affair, she got pregnant
Then I'll go home with you to sweep the floor
Let my love rival congratulate me and give up right and wrong
With the Devil
…
Unfortunately, before the audience could hear what the song really meant, the doorbell rang.
