"Hey, Helen, why are you walking so slowly? Hurry up and catch up."
Just as Xu Yaxin deliberately lagged behind the group, staring at Xu Xinchen's back with a resentful look, a foreign male designer in front suddenly turned around and called out to Xu Yaxin.
Xu Yaxin quickly suppressed her anger and resentment and caught up with them, while speaking to the foreign male designer.
"Sorry, I was just tidying up my lipstick, so I was a little slow."
The foreign male designer didn't see Xu Yaxin secretly glaring at Xu Xinchen behind everyone's back. In fact, he laughed heartily and scratched his head.
"It's okay, it's okay. We're not inside the restaurant yet anyway. But you have to stay close behind us and don't get lost."
Xu Xinchen was talking with other designers when she suddenly heard what the male designer said and immediately turned to look at Xu Yaxin.
Although he didn't like Xu Yaxin, she was Chen Ningsheng's childhood sweetheart, and Xu Yaxin's father treated Chen Ningsheng very well, so Chen Ningsheng probably wouldn't want to see Xu Yaxin in danger.
Therefore, Xu Xinchen did not want to see anything happen to Xu Yaxin in this foreign land, so she said to Xu Yaxin.
"Miss Xu, you can do things like touching up your lipstick once you get to the Western restaurant. It's best not to stop abruptly on the way here. After all, this is a foreign country, and the security situation is not as good as in China, plus you're unfamiliar with the area. What if something happens?"
It's very difficult to find someone to help with this situation.
However, Xu Xinchen never expected that what she thought was a sign of concern would be heard as mockery by Xu Yaxin. With a stiff smile on her face, Xu Yaxin nodded at Xu Xinchen.
"I understand, Ms. Lu. Thank you very much for reminding me. I will pay attention to it from now on."
When Xu Yaxin said this, she was actually very disdainful, but considering that Xu Xinchen was going to make concessions for her relationship that night, Xu Yaxin didn't give Xu Xinchen any more attitude.
Xu Yaxin was very unhappy. What right did Xu Xinchen have to lecture her? She was just a prostitute who had hooked up with Chen Ningsheng, and she really thought she was some kind of knowledgeable young lady?
Xu Xinchen had no idea that her words, which she thought were words of concern, would have such a strong reaction from Xu Yaxin. After seeing Xu Yaxin nod in agreement, Xu Xinchen stopped paying attention to her.
After all, although she didn't want anything to happen to Xu Yaxin on the streets of this foreign country, the two of them weren't very close, and Xu Xinchen was afraid that if she talked too much, it would annoy others.
Having given Xu Yaxin that reminder, Xu Xinchen felt she had done more than enough. Turning her attention back to the foreign designer beside her, Xu Xinchen felt once again that the world was actually quite pleasant.
Several foreign designers clearly also liked Xu Xinchen very much. They looked at Xu Xinchen with admiration and felt that Xu Xinchen seemed to be quite different from what they had heard.
Xu Xinchen didn't understand what those admiring glances meant at first, but she didn't care too much. Through her conversation with these foreign designers, Xu Xinchen had already learned a lot.
Therefore, seeing that these foreign designers had stopped talking, Xu Xinchen also...
Then it quieted down.
The group soon arrived at the Western restaurant they had mentioned. Xu Xinchen followed the foreign designer in front of her and walked into the restaurant.
Xu Xinchen picked up the menu and casually ordered a steak that required a knife and fork. However, what Xu Xinchen didn't know was that the smile on Xu Yaxin's face suddenly froze when she placed the order.
Looking at Xu Xinchen's casual and natural demeanor, Xu Yaxin deeply felt that she might have made a mistake again. Xu Xinchen should know Western dining etiquette, not only know it, but be very knowledgeable about it.
It seems that her plan to embarrass Xu Xinchen by taking advantage of the Western meal has to be put aside for now, but Xu Yaxin doesn't seem to care too much.
If she misses this opportunity, so be it. Anyway, the Western meal will take so long, she'll definitely find other opportunities to humiliate Xu Xinchen.
Xu Xinchen really didn't expect that Xu Yaxin could make so many plans just for a Western meal. After ordering, she naturally handed the menu to the person next to her.
Xu Yaxin looked at the foreign designer sitting with Xu Xinchen, and her smile suddenly changed. She smiled at the foreign designer.
“Jayne, I’m so sorry, could you please switch seats with me? I’m from the same country as the lady next to you, and I’d like to sit with her; I’ll feel safer that way.”
The male designer named Jayne was the same one who had accompanied Xu Xinchen in earlier. After hearing what Xu Yaxin said, he immediately nodded very politely and stood up.
Xu Xinchen obediently walked over to Xu Yaxin's side and switched seats with her. Xu Xinchen didn't really want to sit with Xu Yaxin, but since Jie'en hadn't said anything, Xu Xinchen felt even more awkward about saying anything.
Only when Xu Yaxin moved to her side could Xu Xinchen finally feel a little relieved. She shifted slightly to create some distance between herself and Xu Yaxin.
Xu Yaxin naturally noticed Xu Xinchen's actions. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of displeasure appeared on her face, but she ultimately said nothing.
After everyone had placed their orders, they sat obediently at the table, waiting for the restaurant to bring their food. Xu Xinchen had already exchanged a few words with the foreign designers during their journey.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting a bit awkward, he quickly steered the conversation back to today's design competition.
The other designers breathed a sigh of relief when they saw someone step in to smooth things over and ease the awkward atmosphere, and began to discuss the topic Xu Xinchen had brought up.
Xu Yaxin saw this scene and naturally gritted her teeth in anger, her gaze towards Xu Xinchen becoming even more hostile.
