Chapter 213 We are dating
Li Beiting, however, looked calm. He peeled the shrimp shell with his slender fingers and put it into Jiang Yao's bowl.
The movement looks so smooth and beautiful.
After doing all this, he said nonchalantly, "People treat him as a friend, but he covets them behind their backs, pretending to be affectionate, not knowing that this will only cause trouble to the person involved."
"What do you know!" Lan Errong was very angry.
This guy just has a handsome face, why is he so arrogant?
In terms of looks, her cousin is clearly better.
Li Beiting just chuckled and said no more, but who could not fail to understand the sarcasm contained in that laughter?
How could Qin Jinxiu let him make up stories? "Boss Li, I heard that you're going back to take over the Li family business soon. Your family has arranged a blind date for you! This is such a happy event, why don't you tell everyone about it and let them all be happy!"
Li Beiting remained calm: "I'm not Mr. Qin, who has one romantic debt after another."
"I am a very loyal person. Once I like someone, I will love him/her forever."
His deep gaze fell gently on Jiang Yao, until Jiang Yao's ears were burning. He chuckled and continued, "So, Mr. Qin, please don't listen to rumors from now on. It will make you look shallow."
The atmosphere between the two became tense again.
Jiang Yao's mouth twitched, and he simply ignored them and sat next to Lan Qiuru.
"It seems Yaoyao is very popular!"
Lan Qiuru laughed and joked.
"Aunt, please stop making fun of me." Jiang Yao blushed.
"Okay, I won't say anything!" Lan Qiuru took the initiative to change the subject.
The two of them ate and talked, and found that they had many common interests and hobbies.
Jiang Yao also discovered that the dishes Lan Qiuru always picked for her were her favorite flavors.
They are getting along more and more with each other.
…
On the other side, Li Beiting was alone against Qin Jinxiu and Lan Errong, two siblings, and he was not at a disadvantage in the verbal battle.
Instead, it made Lan Errong very angry.
In the end, she even slammed the table in anger and said angrily: "You are not related to Sister Yaoyao, what right do you have to say such things!"
This is quite a big commotion.
It was hard for Jiang Yao not to notice.
Seeing Lan Errong's ugly face, Jiang Yao also realized something. She suddenly stood up and said, "Miss Lan, I want to go to the bathroom. Can you accompany me?"
"Of course." Lan Errong immediately nodded in agreement.
The two of them walked out of the box and reached the corner of the corridor. Jiang Yao suddenly stopped.
"Miss Lan——"
"Sister Yaoyao, we all know each other now. Just call me Rongrong." Lan Errong was still very polite to her. "You, you don't need to go to the bathroom, but you have something to tell me, right?"
Jiang Yao nodded solemnly, "Yes, Rongrong, I don't know if I did something to cause your misunderstanding. In fact, your cousin and I are just friends."
Lan Errong was stunned and said quickly: "Friendship can also develop further..."
"No, what I want to say is that I don't have any romantic feelings for Qin Jinxiu, and I—" Jiang Yao pursed her lips, her cheeks beginning to burn. She mustered up the courage to say, "I'm dating Mr. Li from the box just now, so I hope you can understand."
Lan Errong was stunned when she heard this.
Separated by a wall, Li Beiting stood frozen in place with his eyes wide open, somewhat unable to believe his ears.
Just now... Jiang Yao publicly admitted that they are dating?
His heart began to beat wildly.
It feels like the whole body is immersed in a honey pot.
After a while, Lan Errong came back to her senses, "Sister Yaoyao——"
She was about to say something when her cell phone rang. When she saw the caller ID, her face turned pale.
"Where are you now!" The woman's stern voice came through the receiver.
Lan Errong shuddered all over and said nervously, "Mom, I'm out shopping. What's going on?"
"You won't get involved with that woman Lan Qiuru, will you? Have you forgotten what I warned you about?"
Her mother's words made Lan Errong feel cold all over.
Ever since she could remember, her mother had always disliked her aunt, and could even be said to hate her.
She didn't understand it when she was a child, but later she found out that her mother thought that if the Lan family adopted her aunt, they would take away some of her property.
But she knew that her aunt didn't care about these things.
But no matter what, her mother would not believe it. If she knew that she was with her aunt, she would definitely be furious.
"Mom, I didn't. I'm going back now. Let's not talk about it for now!"
After saying that, Lan Errong hung up the phone in a hurry and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you okay?" Jiang Yao asked worriedly when he saw her pale face.
"It's okay." Lan Errong shook her head and forced a smile. "Sister Yaoyao, let's exchange contact information and talk again next time we have a chance. I have to leave first today. Please say hello to my cousin and aunt for me."
Jiang Yao guessed that she must have something urgent to do, so he agreed.
After everyone left, she went to the bathroom. When she returned to the box, the first thing she saw was Li Beiting. She found that there was a very obvious smile on his face.
When he looked up at her, the corners of his mouth were upturned, and there was a gleam of joy in his eyes, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
She felt strange, but didn't think much about it for a moment and told them about Lan Errong's departure.
Lan Qiuru seemed to understand and nodded. She waved at her, motioning her to sit down, and handed her a cup of hot milk.
In her puzzled eyes, Lan Qiuru smiled gently and whispered in her ear: "During menstruation, drinking this is good for your health."
"How did you know..."
"I noticed your blood circulation wasn't very good. When I went to the bathroom just now, I took a look in my bag to make sure I had my sanitary napkin with me."
Lan Qiuru was observant and expressed her concern for her through actions.
This feeling is quite different from the one her family gave her.
Jiang Yao blinked, her heart softening. "Thank you, Auntie."
Lan Qiuru turned around and smiled.
After dinner, the group went shopping again.
The two grown men followed them patiently and helped carry things without any complaints.
They passed by a jade shop on the way. Lan Qiuru took her in and asked her to help choose.
Jiang Yao looked and touched and finally selected one.
"This piece is warm and shiny to the touch, with a color as soft as fat and a rich luster. The jade is very pure. Whether you buy it for yourself or as a gift, it is a very good choice."
"So you like it very much?" Lan Qiuru asked with a smile.
Jiang Yao was a little confused: "Me?"
"Then choose this one." Lan Qiuru paid the bill and then said to Jiang Yao, "This is a meeting gift for you. Please accept it."
Jiang Yao was shocked. "It's so valuable, how can I..."
"That's fine. You helped me facilitate such a large investment, so consider it my reward."
