Chapter 33: A Petty Style
Jiang Jingcheng liked the original design very much, so he didn't make any changes this time. After it is cleaned up, it will be exactly the same as before.
Song Huaijing nodded slightly, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"What can I do for Mr. Song?" Jiang Jingcheng couldn't help but laugh. "I can't ask you to help me clean, can I?"
Jiang Jingcheng knew that Song Huaijing didn't mean that, but she really didn't need Song Huaijing to do anything, so she said it in such a teasing tone.
Song Huaijing looked at Jiang Jingcheng helplessly, and then continued: "Are we leaving now?"
"Okay." Jiang Jingcheng didn't have anything to do, but he always went to the coffee shop because he didn't want to stay at home.
So the two of them left the coffee shop together.
While they were still having lunch at noon, Zhuang Yan called Song Huaijing and confirmed again and again that they would be there that afternoon.
Song Huaijing was not impatient. After all, he had been accustomed to the noisy solemnity over the years.
But when Song Huaijing heard Zhuang Yan mention Jiang Jingcheng, his face turned a little sour, and he thought that he should really mention it to Mr. Zhuang about arranging a blind date for Zhuang Yan.
Deny that silly boy staring at other people's girlfriends all day long?
Zhuang Yan, who was being framed by Song Huaijing as someone who "stares at other people's girlfriends all day long", said to his friends after hanging up the phone, "They won't come over for dinner. They'll go directly to the racecourse later."
"It seems like Brother Song and that girl have a really good relationship." Someone sighed.
There were more than a dozen people sitting around the huge dining table. They couldn't help laughing when they heard this, and then they made all kinds of eye contact.
Zhuang Yan acted as if he hadn't heard anything and said seriously, "It's pretty good."
Everyone at the table was smiling. None of them objected, but they also did not agree with Zhuang Yan's words. From their expressions, it seemed that they did not think Song Huaijing was serious about Jiang Jingcheng.
After Jiang Jingcheng and Song Huaijing finished their meal, they walked leisurely to the racecourse.
When they arrived, Zhuang Yan and Han Siyue were playing cards at the table. When they saw them coming, they immediately asked, "Brother, Xiao Chengzi, do you want to play a few rounds?"
It was just past one o'clock and the sun was shining brightly. They planned to go out a little later, so they just stayed in the recreation area to kill some time.
Jiang Jingcheng shook his head and said, "I don't know how to do it, so I won't participate."
"My brother can do it! And he's very good at it. Let my brother teach you!" Zhuang Yan said.
Jiang Jingcheng turned her head to look at Song Huaijing beside her. In fact, she was a little curious.
Seeing this, Song Huaijing smiled and said, "Then give it a try. I won't let you lose after all."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuang Yan pretended to be unwilling and couldn't help shouting, "Brother, if you say so, then I won't play anymore."
Han Siyue laughed when he heard this, "Look at how stingy you are."
"My brother has made it clear that he wants to win the money, so how can I have so much money to lose?" Zhuang Yan said seriously.
Several people around heard it and couldn't help laughing again.
When their game was over, one of the men quickly stood up and gave up his seat to Jiang Jingcheng.
Song Huaijing casually dragged a chair over and sat down next to Jiang Jingcheng.
Jiang Jingcheng didn't understand the rules and couldn't help but look at Song Huaijing beside him with every step, but even so, Jiang Jingcheng, who had no idea, still lost.
After losing several games in a row, Jiang Jingcheng gradually got the hang of it. After winning one game, he spent most of his time winning.
Zhuang Yan always looked heartbroken every time he lost. When it was over and Jiang Jingcheng wanted to return the cash, Zhuang Yan flatly refused.
"I was just talking casually." Zhuang Yan was just talking nonsense, he wouldn't be so petty.
Song Huaijing thought Jiang Jingcheng was a little embarrassed, so he said, "Just keep it. After all, he cheated me out of a lot of pocket money."
Jiang Jingcheng was a bit embarrassed, not for any other reason, but mainly because the bag she brought today was just a decorative bag, and there was no way to fit all the cash in it.
However, just when Jiang Jingcheng was in a dilemma, a woman on the other side said loudly: "You won in the first place, just keep it."
Jiang Jingcheng looked over when he heard that, and saw the woman who had just spoken was looking at him with a hint of disdain in her eyes.
Maybe she really didn't like Jiang Jingcheng. Even though Jiang Jingcheng had already looked away, the woman couldn't help but mutter, "What a petty person."
The entire recreation area gradually became quiet, and the atmosphere became inexplicably strange.
Zhuang Yan was the first to react. He said angrily with a serious face: "Zhai Xiaoxiao! Can you speak?"
After being scolded like this, the woman named Zhai Xiaoxiao has realized that she said the wrong thing. She just lost her temper and couldn't control her emotions.
At this moment, everyone was looking at her. Zhai Xiaoxiao couldn't help but clench her hands. She subconsciously wanted to apologize, but everyone looked down on Jiang Jingcheng. If she apologized...
Zhai Xiaoxiao could even imagine that if she apologized, from today onwards, her socialite friends would definitely look down on her.
Zhai Xiaoxiao was extremely panicked and at a loss for a moment. She was so anxious that her eyes turned red.
Jiang Jingcheng was somewhat speechless upon seeing this. With such little courage, why would he be the first to stand out?
She felt that there was no need for her to say anything more.
But Song Huaijing didn't intend to let her go easily. He said in a serious tone, "You can get out now."
As soon as the words fell, one of the men said, "Song Ge, I'm sorry, my sister is stupid and said the wrong thing, I will apologize on her behalf..."
The man glanced at Jiang Jingcheng, as if he was struggling with how to address her. After a brief silence, the man continued, "I apologize to my sister-in-law!"
"Brother Song, sister-in-law, don't be angry, I'll take her away now!"
The man quickly pulled Zhai Xiaoxiao away. The recreation area was still relatively quiet.
As the protagonist of the incident, Jiang Jingcheng blinked innocently. She really didn't want to make the atmosphere so awkward.
Song Huaijing didn't care at all. When he looked at Jiang Jingcheng, there was always a smile on his face.
Jiang Jingcheng told Song Huaijing about his dilemma, and Song Huaijing only noticed it at this time. He looked around and then told Jiang Jingcheng, "Ask the staff to bring a bag and put it in the locker later."
"It seems this is the only way." Jiang Jingcheng couldn't think of a better way.
"Let's go, don't just stand here, go out and run a couple of laps." Zhuang Yan broke the silence.
