Chapter 14 The Troubles
As night fell, a hole appeared in the dark sky. With the flashes of lightning and thunder, a torrential downpour swept across the entire capital.
The rain came suddenly and unexpectedly. Even though the Si family's driver gave Si Wan his entire umbrella, she still got soaked.
After entering the door, the waiter immediately handed over a clean towel.
"Thank you." Si Wan thanked him politely, took the towel and wiped her wet arms.
Perhaps the sudden heavy rain caused many reservations to be canceled, and the restaurant was deserted without a single table of customers.
Si Wan felt uncomfortable with the cold soles of her feet. She lifted her skirt and looked at her feet, and found that the sheepskin soles of her high heels had been softened by the water. She was afraid that they would fall off if she walked a few more steps.
"Little brother, has the person in this private room arrived?" Si Wan showed the name on her phone to the waiter.
"Not yet."
Si Wan nodded and looked out the window, thinking that it would be impossible to come in such heavy rain.
"Give me a pot of tea first." Si Wan said to the waiter and sat down at a seat by the window.
Soon, hot tea was served. Si Wan poured a cup of tea and rubbed the glass slowly with both hands.
Today would be a good day for treasure hunting, but the water on the road outside is making it difficult to walk. How to get back is a problem.
When Yu Jinnian and Dai Ke walked in, they saw Si Wanxian holding her forehead with her hand and looking out the window with a depressed look on her face.
Yu Jinnian just glanced at Si Wan and went to the second floor.
"Are you so disappointed that your blind date didn't show up? ... Yeah, I've never experienced that before. Anyway, I couldn't wait."
To be honest, Dai Ke's provocation was a bit shameless. She had no intention of staying, and after saying this, she followed Yu Jinnian.
Hearing the noise, Si Wan turned around and was surprised to see the two of them.
The disappointment on his face was barely cleared, but to others it looked like rage and shame: "...Did this heavy rain flush the toilet? The maggots are all out and it's annoying."
The more vulgar Si Wan's words were, the happier Dai Ke was. She wanted Yu Jinnian to hate Si Wan as much as he did before.
Her goal was achieved. Apart from the Gu family, only Yu Jinnian knew that Si Wan was there for a blind date.
Who else could Dai Ke know about this except Yu Jinnian?
"Gossip." Si Wan cursed while staring at someone's calm back.
At this time, another person came in from the door, a large pink ball that turned several times.
"...Dear, I'm late. As punishment, I can give you two kisses."
The man's pouting mouth was so close to her that Si Wan reacted and raised her hand to push it back.
I felt a little headache: "...Don't tell me that you were the one who went on a blind date with me."
Gu Meiyan held a fiery red rose in her arms. Although the flower was beautiful, it pales in comparison to him. He stuffed the flower into Si Wan's arms: "...Now that you know it's me, are you secretly happy?"
Si Wan was in a bad mood. "How did you get here?" The road outside had long since turned into a river, and no car dared to wade through it at this time. It was normal for her to have questions.
"Guess." Gu Meiyan didn't intend to say anything.

"Jinnian, I told you that Mr. Gu's blind date was Si Wan. Do you believe it now?"
Three hours ago, Dai Ke went to Love House to buy flowers. Huading's greenery and soft furnishings had to be changed out weekly, and since Yu Jinnian was picky, she didn't dare to ask anyone else to do it. She had never expected to run into Gu Meiyan.
"Dai Ke, you should know what I hate." The man's attitude was too arrogant, and the look in his eyes made Dai Ke feel a little scared.
She clasped her fingers together and stared at the man's dark profile with a rather pitiful look: "...I'm going to the bathroom."
What does Yu Jinnian hate? He hates those who try to be too smart for his own good.
When I came out of the bathroom and passed by private room 21, the door was open and I saw that it was decorated as a pink-themed confession venue.
Dai Ke looked around, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
Ten minutes later, Si Wan came up from the first floor with her skirt lifted up, and her slender waist twisted with a lazy air.
Gu Meiyan shamelessly said obscene words: "...Baby, what should I do? I can already imagine how it feels like to have your waist pinched in my hands."
Si Wan had no expression and hummed lightly: "I also imagined the sound of your neck being broken by me."
“…”
The two of them sat down and the waiter came over to ask if they wanted to start eating. But before he could finish his words, the boy suddenly turned around and ran away as if he had seen something terrible, yelling as he ran.
"Boss, something happened! Your handwriting is damaged. It was destroyed by a customer who bought 21 packs."
…………
The voice was as loud as a bell, and Si Wan couldn't help but hear it. Only then did she feel like looking around.
Gu Meiyan sat very steadily and reminded Si Wan: "The top of your head."
Looking up, there was a piece of calligraphy. It was misted by the tea, but it was still visible in the frame, which was a bit strange.
Before Si Wan could think about it, a series of footsteps rushed in.
*
The boss rushed straight to Si Wan and started to lecture her: "...How can you be so rude at such a young age? How did my beautiful calligraphy offend you? Have you learned so much that you've become a fool? Is this how your elders taught you?"
The tea in front of Si Wan was still steaming, and anyone who saw it could see that it was conclusive evidence that she was in no way innocent.
"Heh, I said you thought I was dead?" Gu Meiyan said with a sneer on her face.
No one knew how bad his mood was today, as he had originally planned a romantic confession.
Who would have thought that a heavy rainstorm would break out halfway through the journey? It didn't matter that it was raining heavily, as it wouldn't cause any delay if he drove faster.
Who would have thought that he would be rear-ended, and what was even more unexpected was that the driver was an acquaintance.
Since things were urgent, Gu Meiyan didn't care and just asked the driver to take him to Haifulai.
Oh, that rude man and this clueless young boss are from the same race, very arrogant. He just drove away in the rain.
How did Gu Meiyan come here? She walked several kilometers through sewage.
In fact, he had arrived a long time ago, but he just went to the barber shop next door to get ready.
At the last moment, this damn old man dared to come and make trouble for him.
"Old man, which eye of yours saw that she created that awful calligraphy of yours? Do you have any evidence?"
Gu Meiyan walked up to the boss, her gloomy face standing in stark contrast to the pink color of the room.
The boss wasn't afraid at all. Instead, he pinched his waist and pushed his head against Gu Meiyan: "...What do you think? You want to make excuses? I know you're rich, but I'm not afraid of you."
Gu Meiyan pushed the boss's head away, but without restraining her strength, the old man crashed into the wall.
"He's hitting someone!" the boss yelled at the top of his lungs. "Young Master Gu is hitting someone! He's bullying me, an old man, because I have no one to rely on. This is too much. I'm going to call the police! I'm going to call the police!"
The next few employees who came in were very perceptive and immediately divided the work and cooperated after receiving the instructions.
In the noisy room, I heard someone say, "Is this 110?"
"Brother Sheng, this is bad, the old man has been bullied."
Gu Meiyan: “…”
Si Wan closed her eyes in disbelief: "...It's just a piece of calligraphy from the Song Dynasty. I'll just write one for you."
She spoke in such a nonchalant tone that if you didn't know her you would think she was a calligraphy master!
