Chapter 312: Suspicious Mr. Li
Tang Qing only heard Song Yi talk a few words about Mr. Li next door when he was in Sanya. Although Ying Xing joked a few times and asked Song Yi to consider this neighbor, no one took it seriously.
What I didn’t expect was that we were still in touch after returning to Beicheng.
Moreover, Mr. Li specially made a cake for Song Yi and sent it over—
Her intuition told her that something was wrong.
Song Yi answered Tang Qing's question truthfully: "We chatted a few times, but not much. He's also very busy with work."
Tang Qing said nothing, just glanced at the thermal box.
Is there still time to make and deliver a cake when you are busy with work? She was skeptical about this statement.
"Why did he suddenly send you a cake?" Tang Qing asked.
Song Yi: "Maybe it's because I comforted him a few words before, and he said that no one around him likes sweets, so he gave it to me."
Tang Qing: "Did you meet?"
Song Yi: "No, it was sent to the community gatekeeper."
Tang Qing said "Oh" and seemed to be thinking: "In other words, from Sanya to Beicheng, you and this neighbor have not met."
Song Yi: "Yeah, I never had the chance to meet him."
Tang Qing nodded and said nothing more, but his mind was unusually active.
Before today, she had no other thoughts about the rumored Mr. Li next door. She just thought of him as a kind-hearted and humble rich man.
But no matter how humble a person is, he or she would not be so enthusiastic towards a neighbor he or she has never met.
Song Yi had never seen him, but he should have seen Song Yi.
There is no one in this world who would do good to another person for no reason or purpose. There must be some ulterior motive.
Either it's a person, or it's a specific thing.
The same goes for Mr. Li.
Tang Qing quickly listed two possibilities. First, Mr. Li might have known Song Yi's identity and needed the Jiang family's help with some matters, so he hoped to facilitate it by getting closer to Song Yi.
Secondly, Mr. Li had met Song Yi without her knowledge and was interested in her, so he chose the method of boiling a frog in warm water to approach her.
Tang Qing personally thinks the former is more likely. After all, he is a businessman, and it is normal for him to put some effort into achieving his goals.
But now is not a good time to bring this up.
Tang Qing decided to discuss it with Song Yi when the three of them were alone.
…
"By the way, a friend is here today and may have lunch with us." After walking out of the parking lot, Gu Zhongzhou took the initiative to tell Song Yi about this.
Song Yi subconsciously asked, "Who?"
Gu Zhongzhou: "Jiang Budu, you also know him."
Can’t cross the river?
Song Yi frowned and glanced at Tang Qing.
Tang Qing didn't seem to react at all, as if he didn't care about the matter at all.
But Song Yi was still puzzled: "Why is he here?"
Gu Zhongzhou: "He booked a hot spring suite and came with his fiancée."
When Jiang Budu's fiancée was mentioned, Song Yi became even more alert: "His fiancée wants to have dinner with us too?"
Gu Zhongzhou: "No, he's the only one."
Song Yi: "Why is he joining us here when he's not with his fiancée?"
There was obvious impatience in this question.
This was the first time Gu Zhongzhou heard Song Yi speak in this tone throughout the time she had been in contact with her.
Although she was very direct when communicating with him, her attitude was always gentle and she was not an emotional person.
She didn't seem to like Jiang Budu very much.
Oh no, it’s a big opinion.
But when the two of them went on a "blind date" for the first time, Jiang Budu and Fu Xijing came together.
Song Yi didn't seem to react so strongly at that time.
So...it's related to his fiancée?
Gu Zhongzhou: "If you don't want him here, I'll arrange for him to eat somewhere else."
As they were talking, the three of them had already reached the camping area.
At that time, Jiang Budu was making a fire in front of the barbecue grill.
Song Yi looked over and happened to meet his eyes.
Jiang Budu smiled at Song Yi, "Finally you're here. If you hadn't come earlier, Gu Laoer would have been snatched away by someone else."
Jiang Budu always liked to make jokes without any reason, and Song Yi was used to his nonchalant attitude.
She put her bag on the chair and asked him, imitating his tone: "Why don't you go back and look after your fiancée? Before she gets snatched away by someone else."
Jiang Budu sighed.
My goodness, Song Yi’s mouth is getting more and more powerful. Fu Xijing will have a hard time in the future.
"I don't like looking at people. If someone can snatch something away, it means it's not mine." Jiang Budu changed the subject and saw the cake in Gu Zhongzhou's hand.
The Doraemon above is particularly eye-catching.
Jiang Budu looked at it and laughed.
Gu Zhongzhou put the cake in the refrigerator, rolled up his sleeves and went to the barbecue grill to help.
While the two were not paying attention, Song Yi and Ying Xing pulled Tang Qing to the sky curtain not far away.
After sitting down, Song Yi glanced at Jiang Budu and said to Tang Qing in a low voice, "Sit here for a while. I'll go get him away."
Tang Qing held Song Yi's arm and shook his head at her, "No need, Mr. Gu has already agreed to have lunch with him, don't make it difficult for him."
Song Yi paused to observe Tang Qing's expression: "Are you okay?"
Tang Qing: "He didn't do anything."
Song Yi: "Then let him go after lunch."
She thought about it for a moment and said, "You sit between me and Xingzi later."
Tang Qing nodded.
Ying Xing glanced towards the barbecue grill, spat, and cursed, "The rotten cucumber should be locked up with his damn wife."
"Okay, let's eat something sweet to cool down." Song Yi opened the box of macarons.
Ying Xing only then noticed what was in the box. He took a closer look and raised an eyebrow: "Did you buy this?"
Song Yi: "No, Mr. Li sent it together with the tiramisu."
She casually explained, "She said she just learned it recently and wanted to hear your opinions on the taste test."
"Mr. Li?" Ying Xing was surprised. "The neighbor in the villa next door in Sanya? Oh my god, you guys are still in touch?"
"I say, he's not really interested in you, is he?" Ying Xing picked up a macaron, "Doraemon color scheme? Don't tell me this is a coincidence."
"What are you thinking about?" Song Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "What a coincidence, his WeChat profile picture has always been Doraemon."
"Huh?" Ying Xing's facial features wrinkled together. "You mean, he's a domineering CEO, and his profile picture is a fat blue guy?"
As a social animal who has been tortured for several years, Ying Xing has no idea how many business people he has added to his work account, both young and old.
She had never seen any decent person use this kind of avatar.
unless--
"Is there a possibility that he created a small account specifically for chatting with you?" Ying Xing began to stroke his chin again, his imagination running wild: "Are you sure you haven't met before? Why do I feel like he's playing a big game to trick you, like he's been planning this for a long time?"
Song Yi: “…”
She was even more at a loss for words.
Looking at Ying Xing's confident look, like an experienced emotional expert - is it true that those involved are often confused while those who are on the sidelines can see things more clearly? She was so bold in thinking, so why didn't she realize that Gu Zhongzhou was interested in her?
