Su Mingyang didn't notice Luo Tianhe's unusual behavior and ran straight towards Xiao He.
I hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "Do you know each other?"
"I've met you." Luo Tianhe's expression was somewhat strange, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
My heart skipped a beat.
I wondered if the two of them had ever done *that*.
If that's the case, then things will get really interesting.
"you……"
I was unsure whether I should ask or not.
It's not what you think.
Before Luo Tianhe could finish speaking, Xiao He and Su Mingyang had already walked over.
Luo Tianhe lowered his voice and said quickly, "Tell Lao Su to stay away from that woman. She's not human."
Not human?
I instinctively looked at Xiao He.
Today she was wearing a pair of tight blue hot pants, revealing her two white thighs, and a white crop top. She had a shadow, wasn't standing on tiptoe, and her eyes weren't vacant; she didn't look like anything dirty.
Noticing my gaze, Xiao He frowned and snorted coldly.
Before I could ask anything more, Luo Tianhe stood up, waved his phone, and said with a smile, "You guys keep drinking, I'll go get your phone for you."
After saying that, he left without saying goodbye to Su Mingyang.
"What's wrong with this guy? He's in such a hurry." Su Mingyang looked bewildered.
I glanced at Xiao He and gave him a vague answer: "He has some urgent business to attend to."
Su Mingyang said "Oh" and didn't ask any more questions. He then attentively served Xiao He a fruit platter and poured him some wine.
Xiao He had been fiddling with her phone ever since she entered, and seemed a little impatient.
"Mingyang, what did you call me over for? I have a company dinner later, so I can only sit for a few minutes."
It's already 11 PM, and there's still a company dinner? Are they having seafood?
Su Mingyang pointed at me, smiling obsequiously, "Soon, very soon, Old Chen wants to ask you about Bai Su."
"You asked again? How many times have you asked this already?"
Xiao He looked impatient.
"I won't ask."
Su Mingyang took out the necklace, his face full of excitement.
"Xiao He, this is the one I picked out for you after a long time. Isn't it beautiful? I saw an online streamer say that this necklace is a hot item this year. It's beautiful and high-end."
Xiao He glanced casually at the necklace Su Mingyang was holding high, his lips immediately twitched downwards, and he snorted through his nose.
"This is what you call good-looking? And high-end? You bought it on Douyin, right? A hundred or two hundred? Su Mingyang, I'm not trying to be mean, but look at those truly rich people. They give Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, or at the very least, Swarovski."
"Are you trying to fool me with this cheap knock-off? Do you think I'm easy to bully, or do you simply not take me seriously at all?"
As she spoke, she flicked the necklace lightly with her finger, her eyes full of disdain.
Xiao He got more and more excited as he talked, and his impatience became more and more obvious.
“Look at yourself, you’re always so aimless and don’t know how to do anything productive. My best friend’s boyfriend just bought her a Hermes bag last month. And me? I don’t even have a decent piece of jewelry. I’m too embarrassed to show my face to anyone.”
After saying that, Xiao He stood up and walked towards the door: "I'm going to a dinner party, I'm leaving now!"
Listening to Xiao He's string of sharp and sarcastic remarks, and looking at Su Mingyang's helpless and cowardly appearance as he still tried to please, I couldn't help but want to curse.
Is Su Mingyang out of his mind?
He usually seems like a clever person, but in front of this woman he's completely bewitched, letting her manipulate him like this, yet he still eagerly tries to get close to her. I really don't know what he's after.
Just before Xiao He was about to leave, the manager walked in with two bottles of Louis XIII.
Xiao He stopped abruptly, his eyes fixed on the two bottles of wine.
"Brother Chen, should I open these two bottles for you, or should I just leave them here?"
I quickly stopped him: "Don't open it, let's leave right away. Manager, how much does this table cost? Please calculate it, I'll pay the bill."
Although the manager didn't seem to intend for us to spend any money, I couldn't pretend to be stupid and take advantage of Luo Tianhe.
The manager seemed to have expected me to say that, and quickly waved his hand with a smile.
"Brother Chen, you're joking. It's an honor for our bar to have you come for a drink. How could we possibly charge you? Please don't be so formal."
As he spoke, he gently placed the two bottles of wine on the table, backed away, and politely closed the door behind him.
Xiao He turned to look at me, her face full of surprise.
"Brother Chen, don't you work at the crematorium? Why is this manager being so polite to you? He just gives you a bottle of wine worth tens of thousands of yuan like that."
I don't have a good impression of Xiao He. If it weren't for the fact that she's Su Mingyang's girlfriend, I wouldn't bother with her at all.
I asked casually, "Is there a problem?"
Su Mingyang smiled and put his arm around my shoulder, a hint of smugness on his face, and said in a loud voice.
"Xiao He, you don't know this, do you? What's the big deal about the manager giving away two bottles of wine?"
“There was a time when a family member of a neighborhood chief was in a car accident. In order to get Old Chen to help, the chief personally went to their home, bringing cigarettes and alcohol, and promising many benefits, hoping that Old Chen could sew the body back together perfectly so that the deceased could pass away with dignity.”
I couldn't help but roll my eyes. This Su Mingyang really knows how to make things up.
He was just an old man cleaning the neighborhood, but he was somehow made into a district head.
However, seeing him constantly giving me meaningful glances, clearly wanting me to play along and pretend to be a big shot, I was too lazy to expose him.
There's a saying that goes something like this: If you want to know how awesome someone is, just look at the friends they make.
I patted Su Mingyang on the shoulder: "Since you're not drinking anymore, let's go."
Xiao He quickly stepped in front of us: "Brother Chen, didn't you want to know about Bai Su before? I talked to Mingyang about it last time, but you know he's not good with words, so he probably didn't explain it clearly to you. I'm here to tell you myself today, so you can ask me if you don't understand anything."
I couldn't help but sneer: "Weren't you in such a hurry to get to the company party, saying you couldn't afford to waste a minute? What's wrong now, not going anywhere?"
Xiao He's expression changed slightly, then she said coquettishly, "Oh, Brother Chen, what are you saying? You can go to any gathering! Your affairs here are of great importance, you must take care of things here first!"
I glanced at Su Mingyang; although he was smiling, his smile was stiff.
"Brother Chen, I was rude before, mainly because my colleague was nagging me. Let me toast you, please don't take it to heart!"
Xiao He opened one of the bottles of Louis XIII, then plopped down next to Su Mingyang, sitting right next to me, her two long, white legs swaying in front of me.
Before, she would deliberately hide behind Su Mingyang to avoid me seeing her, but now she wants to stick her face to mine.
It truly reflects the saying: "They fear the poor can see it, yet they fear the rich cannot."
I frowned and moved aside a bit.
He got straight to the point: "Let's talk about Bai Su."
