0029 Enemy
"Did you pick them up? Why did it take so long?"
Inside the private room, Song Yuchang frowned impatiently.
"What's the rush? I already said I've picked them up." Cheng Jing found it amusing. "If you're in such a hurry, why didn't you go pick them up yourself?"
Upon hearing this, Song Yuchang leaned back in his chair, fiddling with his phone in his palm, and scoffed, "I'm not going. Don't embarrass yourself."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the sound of high heels walking could be heard outside.
"We've arrived," Tantai Qing said calmly.
The door to the private room opened, and a figure wearing a pink cropped skirt suit appeared.
"I'm back~" The person who came was wearing flamboyant sunglasses. He first circled around the door, and then went up to hug everyone one by one.
"Tai-Ching, long time no see, did you miss me~"
Tantai Qing raised his hand and patted her shoulder, neither saying whether he had thought about it nor not, but just smiling gently.
"Niannian, you look even more beautiful after your trip abroad," Cheng Jing said with a smile, giving her a light hug.
Xiang Nan Nan happily blew her a kiss in gratitude, then said sweetly, "Brother Cheng Jing, you forgot, there's a term called 'naturally beautiful'."
"Xiang Nannan, can you speak normally?" Song Yuchang looked disgusted and shivered to show his revulsion, but when it was his turn, he still straightened his collar with some anticipation.
Unfortunately, just as he was full of hope and eagerly waiting, Xiang Nannan turned around and sat down next to him without him noticing.
Song Yuchang's expression suddenly stiffened, and he immediately turned to her and demanded, "No, Xiang Nannan, what do you mean?"
Why did you hug them but not him?
Xiang Nannan seemed not to have noticed him since she entered the room. Only when she saw his displeasure did she finally look at him properly. She first gave a fake smile, then pulled down her sunglasses and glanced at him. "Sorry, this young lady only has eyes for people."
Then he raised his finger and shook it, saying seriously, "Dogs and animals are not allowed inside."
Song Yuchang's face turned green with anger, and seeing that he was about to breathe fire, Cheng Jing quickly spoke up to mediate: "Don't get excited. Maybe Nannan has seen too many flowers and plants abroad and can't adapt to it in a short time, right?"
Song Yuchang didn't believe his nonsense and sneered, "You think you're so capable? Xiang Nannan, don't beg me to lend you a plane next time."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Nannan was indignant. She slammed down her chopsticks, and her previously sweet voice vanished in an instant, replaced by a loud and sharp one: "Explain yourself clearly, what do you mean I'm begging you?"
"Who begged you? I don't know who rushed to ask me this, it's hilarious..." She rolled her eyes, leaned back in her chair, crossed her arms, and didn't give him an inch.
Seeing that the two were about to start another contest, Tantai Qing picked up two stalks of bok choy with her chopsticks and put them in each of their bowls, saying calmly, "Don't make noise, eat."
Sure enough, the fire that the two had just started was extinguished in an instant.
Xiang Nannan and he glared at each other angrily, then she turned her head away resentfully.
"Taiqing-ge really knows how to take care of people." She picked up the bok choy with her chopsticks and ate it, her tone slightly sour.
Seeing her like that, Song Yuchang curled his lip in disdain and said slowly, "Nothing's wrong, Tai Qing-ge; if something's wrong, Song Yuchang. You're the only one who's capable..."
Xiang Nannan was too lazy to argue with him; after all, he was an unreasonable person.
To spite him, she deliberately talked to the other two people and ignored him.
Poor Song Yuchang, he always makes the first move, but he never gets the credit.
This meal left me feeling fuming again.
After dinner, the Xiang family's driver came to pick up Xiang Nannan and take her home.
After everyone left, Tantai Qing turned around and glanced at Song Yuchang, who was still sulking, and couldn't help but chuckle, "Why are you getting angry with her, you little girl?"
"You brat, you just have to annoy me!" Song Yuchang tilted his head back and took a big gulp of red wine, then slammed the wine glass heavily on the table.
Tantai Qing and Cheng Jing exchanged a glance and shook their heads helplessly.
"What are you doing?"
Sitting in the back seat, Tantai Qing glanced at the message Jiang Jifan had sent him.
She was shopping with a friend and tried on a few clothes in the mall, taking pictures and asking him for advice.
Actually, she has a good figure and looks good in anything, but he still carefully checked each item and gave relevant suggestions.
Giving advice alone seemed too inadequate, so Tantai Qing moved her fingers and transferred some money to her.
But she immediately rejected him.
"NO"
"I have money! [Angry]"
Tantai Qing thought she was cute and couldn't help but laugh twice before sending her a voice message.
"Yes, I know, but I want to buy you nice clothes."
"What are you doing?" Xing Yeye happened to hear the voice message and leaned over to look at their chat history. When she saw the amount transferred, she immediately snatched her phone and clicked to receive the payment.
"Hey, why did you snatch my phone!" Jiang Jifan hurriedly glanced at it after grabbing it back, and seeing that she had accepted the money for him, he glared at her unhappily.
"Jiang Jifan, you'll be unlucky for life if you're too fond of men!" Xing Yeye pointed at her with her finger and snorted coldly.
“I didn’t,” she immediately retorted.
"Then why don't you accept it?"
Jiang Jifan was speechless.
In fact, she just didn't want to owe anyone anything, and subconsciously wanted to cut off any way that could generate an "IOU".
Xing Yeye knew her well enough to point it out directly: "Independence is a good thing, but sometimes, love requires blindness..."
"Thank you, but blind love is impossible in this lifetime." Jiang Jifan was too lazy to listen to her love quotes and was thinking about how to explain it to him.
"I just had dinner with two childish guys. If I have the chance, I'll introduce you to them."
Just as I was struggling with this, he sent me another message.
Jiang Jifan decided to stop worrying unnecessarily, thanked him frankly, and planned to let the matter drop.
As for that money, we'll talk about it later...
