"Drinking like this in broad daylight." Meng Wan frowned, but still caught Lan Xing and helped her sit on the sofa next to her.
"I tried to persuade her, but it was no use," Cui Qingling said helplessly.
"How's the exhibition going?" Clearly, Cui Qingling already knew.
"It's solved."
"This matter is being discussed in our industry. The Qin family has lost face and will probably behave themselves for a while. There are also many people inquiring about your brother and wanting to film his other works. Some people who know about him have already contacted me."
"Just leave it alone."
Meng Wan is not short of money, and the Meng family would not sell Meng Zhiyao's paintings as commodities to others just because of this amount of money.
"I'm in this state, and none of you are comforting me!" Lan Xing sat up straight after recovering, her voice full of grievance.
The two exchanged a glance and shook their heads in unison.
The day after Yan Nian confessed to Meng Wan, Ji Sheng was not to be outdone. He took Lan Xing to see an F1 race and took the opportunity to confess to her when she was happiest, winning her heart.
When the two first got together, ten couples couldn't compare to how clingy they were. But less than a month later, they were arguing and threatening to break up every few days, only to be inseparable again the next day.
Despite their arguments, it's always their friends who suffer. They're like grudge-mongers, dragged in every few days and forced to listen to the trivial details of their love story.
"What's the matter this time?" Meng Wan poured her a glass of water.
Lan Xing didn't push it away and obediently drank it.
"I'm on vacation, and he actually won't go on a date with me. He said he made plans to go fishing with my dad?" Lan Xing raised her voice, pointing at herself with an incredulous look on her face.
"He'd rather skip his girlfriend and go fishing with my dad? Why doesn't he just get together with my dad?!"
Although I knew the reasons for their arguments were always bizarre, I never expected them to be this bizarre.
Meng Wan's words of comfort stuck in her throat, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"You're still laughing at me? Are we even friends anymore!" Lan Xing's face was all wrinkled, and his mouth was so greasy it could hang an oil bottle.
"Would I have abandoned Yan Nian to come here?"
Lan Xing felt guilty and silently huddled on the sofa without saying a word.
"I already said, either you ask Ji Sheng's mother to go shopping, or you go fishing with Ji Sheng and your father. What's the point of sulking here?" Cui Qingling sat in her seat and took a sip of her wine.
"In no mood."
Blue Star snorted.
Since falling in love, Lan Xing has become a bit more spoiled, of course, it's all because Ji Sheng spoiled her, so she can't blame anyone else. They always come here after an argument, and Ji Sheng will probably be here in less than half an hour.
Sure enough, before Meng Wan had even finished her glass of juice, Ji Sheng rushed over.
"Blue Star!"
Ji Sheng walked over, and Lan Xing turned her head away, her little emotions written all over her face.
Meng Wan and Cui Qingling exchanged a glance, raised their eyebrows in unison, and quietly sat in their seats watching the two perform.
"Oh dear, I was wrong. You said you had something to do this weekend, so I made plans to go fishing with your uncle. I told you that beforehand."
"I didn't expect my roommates to suddenly have plans," Lan Xing said, her tone softening as she pouted.
"I would have turned it down if it were anyone else, but it's hard to turn down my uncle. My little darling, please forgive me this time, okay?" Ji Sheng tugged at Lan Xing's sleeve, his voice filled with trepidation.
"Okay then, I'll put it first next time."
"There won't be a next time, there won't be a next time." Ji Sheng's reaction was quick, but tinged with sadness.
The two were already used to it. No matter which one was angry, as long as one softened their stance even slightly, the other would immediately back down. While others drifted apart the more they argued, the more they argued, the closer they became, and in the end, they even had to feed their resentful friends a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
"So we're just tools again?" Meng Wan picked up her juice glass.
“Who says otherwise?” Cui Qingling picked up her cup and lightly clinked it against Meng Wan’s.
Only after he spoke did Ji Sheng realize the presence of the two people.
"Meng Wan, what are you still doing here?"
"So you think our vision is limited, like we're invisible?" Meng Wan said, somewhat speechless.
"No, what I mean is, didn't your second brother have an accident? What are you doing here?"
Meng Wan's expression changed. "What is it?"
"It seems like he meant well but messed things up; he saved someone but got extorted instead. But don't worry, most people online feel sorry for your brother. I thought you knew..."
"Where?"
"Kangqiao Hospital, I guess..." Ji Sheng's voice inexplicably softened as he looked at Meng Wan's expression.
"I'm leaving now."
"Wait, I have a car, let's go together." Cui Qingling picked up the car keys.
“Me too…” Lan Xing stood up, but Ji Sheng pressed her down.
"Oh dear, my little darling, you're reeking of alcohol, so don't go causing trouble. Can you calm down a bit before I take you there?"
"I'm going upstairs to take a shower and change my clothes." Lan Xing has a high alcohol tolerance, and although the alcohol was a bit strong, it wasn't enough to get her drunk.
Ji Sheng supported Lan Xing like a mother hen, afraid that she might fall if she wasn't careful.
Meanwhile, the two who had gone downstairs didn't waste any time. Cui Qingling tossed the keys to Meng Wan, who caught them steadily.
With a quick press of the accelerator, the two sped off towards the hospital.
"It was Yan Nian who called." Meng Wan left in a hurry, and Cui Qingling still gave her her bag.
"Please answer this for me."
Cui Qingling nodded and pressed the speakerphone button.
"Wanwan, have you seen the news online?"
Social news is most likely to go viral, especially the age-old question of "to save or not to save," which generates a lot of discussion.
