Chapter 286: "Just for fun."
"Shall I take you to something urgent?"
Liang Zhouheng turned his head and asked her.
Song Cun felt like she had shot herself in the foot. Lying was never her strong point, so she had no choice but to say, "No thanks. I'm going home."
He stared at her without blinking. "It's nothing urgent, so why did you sneak away when I wasn't paying attention? Are you angry?"
"No."
Song Cun flatly denied it. How could he get angry when someone invited him to dinner?
But she couldn't explain why she left first. Was she afraid that he would not let her rush to pay the bill?
Song Cun was not good at speaking to begin with, and she seemed even more restrained and tongue-tied in front of Liang Zhouheng. She thought about it and couldn't come up with a suitable reason, so she said bluntly: "Mr. Liang, I think it's better for us to have less contact."
Liang Zhouheng's eyes darkened quietly, and then he asked patiently, "Why? Let me hear your reasons."
Song Cun took a deep breath, turned his head to the other side, avoiding his sight, and said slowly: "Actually, I have already said during the meal that we are not from the same world and there is no need for too much contact. I don't want to always take advantage of you. You have helped me a lot before, and I have nothing to repay you, at least not now. Just like this meal worth 21,600 yuan, this is the best I can do to repay you, but to you, it is just the most ordinary meal, not worth mentioning at all."
She talked for a long time, but Liang Zhouheng knew women too well, let alone a girl like Song Cun who was completely blank. He quickly grasped the key point. The girl remembered the meal cost so clearly, it was simply because her self-esteem was hurt by the price.
Ultimately, it was his fault for not thinking it through.
No wonder. When he went out to eat with girls before, had he ever let the girls pay the bill?
Even if the girl says she'll treat him, in the end, he's the one who actually pays the bill. I've seen girls throwing tantrums and throwing tantrums because they're not satisfied with the food, but I've never seen anyone leave in anger because he paid early.
Song Cun was the first one.
"Who said it's not worth mentioning?" Liang Zhouheng tapped his fingers on the steering wheel and was silent for two seconds. Then he continued, "For me, what kind of meal we eat, who treats, and who pays are indeed unimportant. What's important is who sits across from me at the table. I don't give face to everyone. I'm very happy to have dinner with you. I won't say much to praise you. At least you sitting across from me makes me happy. Eating with you makes my appetite better than usual. It's more effective than taking stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets. I haven't had a good meal in a long time. Tell me, is this meal worth it?"
What he said later was true. He hadn't had such a relaxing and comfortable meal in a long time.
Song Cun pursed his lips, finding it difficult for him to come up with such a far-fetched excuse.
Seeing she still refused to turn her head back, he patiently continued to comfort her, "I disagree with the views you expressed at the dinner table. Everyone has different values. To me, money is not important. I believe that communication between people should not be hindered by such vulgar things. I have no shortage of wealthy friends, but I lack sincere and kind friends. I don't need you to give me anything in return. I am happy to help you. Seeing you get closer to your goals with my help and experience the joy of success is a reward in itself."
Song Cun finally couldn't help but ask, "Then what are you trying to do?"
"Just for fun."
He didn't smile, his face looked sincere.
But Song Cun didn't believe it. Who would do charity like this?
