As he spoke, he immediately put on a very sad and upset expression.
Chu Xing had no intention of getting entangled with him and just wanted him to leave as soon as possible. After all, compared to Jiang Jibai, who knew the inside story, Xie Xingrang knew nothing.
The more he talks, the more he exposes, and the more Song Mai suspects.
At least for now, he still intends to proceed according to the original plan, and get a divorce after the one-year contract expires. There is no need to explain anything to her in the meantime.
The man was somewhat irritated, and a hint of displeasure was already showing in his eyes.
"Alright, I have something to do, you can go now."
Song Mai sat quietly the whole time, not interrupting their conversation.
Although she didn't know the relationship between Chu Xing and this butterfly, it wasn't hard to tell that the two were at least very familiar with each other.
What Song Mai couldn't understand was how Chu Xing could know such a person. This "flower butterfly" was obviously a rich second-generation, so how could she be so close to Chu Xing?
Moreover... it's not hard to see that although Chu Xing didn't say much, this flower butterfly actually listened to him very well.
Xie Xingrang had no intention of leaving just like that. Instead, he said casually, "Hey, since we all know each other, why don't we share a table? All the window seats are full. I don't want to sit in the middle of so many people. It's too noisy. You haven't finished eating yet, so why don't I order a few more dishes and we can eat together? Just consider it as getting to know new friends."
As he spoke, he raised an eyebrow at Chu Xing, looking somewhat mocking, as if he had discovered some incredible secret about Chu Xing.
"no."
However, before he could finish speaking, Chu Xing refused without even thinking.
Letting him sit here and eat with us is no different from having a loudspeaker installed here.
"Why? I'll treat you to this meal. I definitely won't bother you."
Xie Xingrang looked at the man with a hint of resentment.
"You've already bothered us. I'll invite Ji Bai along another time when I'm free, and I'll definitely invite you too."
Xie Xingrang couldn't understand why Chu Xing's attitude was so tough.
So what if he finds out I've hooked up with a girl?
He wouldn't tell anyone; at most, he'd just gossip about it with Jiang Jibai.
Even if this girl isn't that great, it doesn't really matter. As the saying goes, only the person drinking the water knows whether it's hot or cold. No matter what, she's Chu Xing's girl, and it has nothing to do with anyone else.
Seeing that Chu Xing was not persuaded, Xie Xingrang simply turned his attention to Song Mai.
A bright and enthusiastic smile graced her stunningly beautiful face, but Song Mai looked more like a fox than a woman.
It gave her a feeling that he had ill intentions.
"What is your name, miss?"
“Song Mai,” the woman replied politely.
Xie Xingrang racked his brains several times, but couldn't find any record of such a person.
It seems that this person is indeed as ordinary and unremarkable as her appearance suggests.
"Hey sis, can I share a table with him? You have no idea how hard it is to get him to have a meal. He used to be busy, but at least I could see him sometimes. But lately he's been like he's disappeared. I've asked him to come several times and he's ignored me. I finally ran into him today, so please let me share a table with him."
Song Mai looked at Chu Xing, unsure whether to agree or not.
After all, this was his friend, and it wouldn't be good to refuse outright, but if he agreed, Chu Xing didn't seem to want to share a table.
After thinking for a moment, she spoke:
“He’s been busy starting his business lately and hasn’t had much time. He might have neglected his friends because of that, but it wasn’t intentional. Don’t take it to heart. It’s not up to me to decide whether we share a table. You’re his friend, so if he agrees, I definitely won’t object.”
Xie Xingrang's eyes widened upon hearing Song Mai's first words.
"What? Start a business?"
Does Chu Xing still need to start a business?
Yunxing is already so big, and he's still not satisfied? He wants to start another business?
Moreover, even if Chu Xing wanted to do something, it probably wouldn't be appropriate to use the word "entrepreneurship"; it would likely be considered investment.
Chu Xing had completely lost his patience; he just wanted to finish eating and leave as soon as possible.
Xie Xingrang, however, kept nagging: "Are you really starting a business? What industry are you in?"
Chu Xing looked up and gave him a disgruntled look.
"Yes, I'm starting a business. Can you leave now?"
He had been relatively polite and courteous to Xie Xingrang earlier because Song Mai was present.
But Xie Xingrang was really too oblivious, still lingering here. He completely lost patience and spoke much more directly.
Xie Xingrang was heartbroken.
"Ah Xing, how could you drive me away like this? Aren't I your only one?"
Song Mai: "..."
Chu Xing swiftly removed the hand that was on his shoulder.
"Speak properly."
Xie Xingrang pursed his lips and then turned the conversation to Song Mai.
"Miss Song, are you and A-Xing... boyfriend and girlfriend?"
As he spoke, he raised an eyebrow, his words carrying a somewhat ambiguous meaning.
Chu Xing was good at keeping secrets and never said anything. He also kept his girlfriend a secret very well. Xie Xing suspected that during the time he couldn't contact Chu Xing, he had been chasing girls.
Although her tastes are a bit strange, at least she's a girl.
Song Mai didn't know how to answer for a moment, and she looked at Chu Xing with a pleading look.
What is her relationship with Chu Xing?
Are we boyfriend and girlfriend?
Legally they were husband and wife, but in reality, they were just making do with each other, since they divorced after a year. Although they were husband and wife, their relationship was probably not as stable and lasting as that of ordinary friends.
Chu Xing grabbed Xie Xingrang's ear, his eyes full of threat.
"I think you want me to call the old man right now, don't you?"
Xie Xingrang immediately shook his head rapidly.
"Of course not, let's talk this out..."
Chu Xing had no intention of giving him another chance to interfere, and after pulling him away, he said:
"It's not what you think. It's a bit complicated. I'll explain it to you when I have time. Either you can eat at a different table today, or you can leave and go to another restaurant."
His slightly narrowed eyes were full of warning to Xie Xingrang: "Of course, if you still don't listen to my advice, I'll call Old Master Xie right now."
Xie Xingrang originally wanted to persist a little longer, but after hearing these words, how could he dare to continue to linger?
Enjoying the show is important, but your life is more important.
It's because my old man likes Chu Xing so much that he believes almost everything he says.
If he's kept locked up at home and nagged, wouldn't that be worse than death?
Thinking about it, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Fine, fine, I'll leave, I'll leave right now! Ah Xing, you're so heartless. We haven't seen each other for so long, and you haven't even said you missed me. Instead, you're telling me to leave..."
Chu Xing shot Xie Xing a sharp look, and Xie Xing immediately shut up.
"Okay, I'm leaving, I'm really leaving..."
He needed to share his experiences of the day with Jiang Jibai.
