Chapter 118 Inappropriate
It took a lot of persuasion to dispel Tian Xiang's concerns and good intentions. After all, she knew that if nothing unexpected happened, Yan Bin and his gang would be finished. How much trouble could Tang Tian make on her own?
As soon as Yan Bin went in, perhaps there would be someone who was even more eager than herself to take action against her.
I heard that Tang Tian, who usually doesn't know how to restrain herself and is always arrogant, has offended many people by relying on the power of Yan Bin of the Yan family.
Just the fact that Qin Jianjun, who was following her with ulterior motives, was wagging his tail, was enough to make her suffer.
After picking up Xiao Yuanquan from the big courtyard, he talked for a while with Zhang's mother and Mao's mother, two elderly people who had also been worried about him all night. He acted coquettishly and made them laugh until they were happy, then he returned to his own courtyard.
It was getting late, and there was no time to rest or change clothes. I took out the small circle of lunch from the space and hurried to the factory to work.
As expected, after a morning of fermentation, those who were well-informed knew about this great earthquake that affected most of the upper-class families and high-ranking officials in Gu City.
When one person can't help but tell something to a close friend, it means that everyone knows about it. The speed at which gossip spreads should not be underestimated.
After listening all the way from the office to the cafeteria, Suning, who was originally a little sleepy, suddenly became energetic. He took his lunch box and ordered an extra meat dish in a rare good mood.
Especially when he saw Tang Tian's face change drastically and he rushed out of the cafeteria door in panic, his good mood immediately increased several times.
The extremely bright smile on her face made all the people present who were secretly paying attention to her startle and their heartbeats quicken.
"Secretary Su!"
Before I even took two bites of the food, I heard a familiar voice calling from beside me. I looked up and saw it was Qiao Yuan.
Thinking back to how he stepped forward last night, although it didn't seem like he provided any substantial help on the surface, the fact was that he distracted the group of people so that she could take them down smoothly.
So she could no longer be as indifferent as before, and her feelings towards Qiao Yuan also changed significantly.
Although he looks sloppy and unreliable, he is brave enough to do what is right when something happens, which shows that he has a good heart.
"Comrade Qiao hasn't thanked you yet. Are you okay now?"
"Ah, no...it's nothing. The doctor said I'm very strong!"
Is she caring about herself?
He saw that the smile on Su Ning's face did not fade because of him, and he even spoke to him in a rare gentle tone.
Qiao Yuan was as happy as a fool weighing over 100 pounds. He was usually the kind of person who dared to openly contradict his father and speak loudly, but at this moment he looked like a shy young wife meeting her parents-in-law for the first time.
Chen Baishi, who was following him, almost couldn't bear to watch, so he had to clench his fist and cough hard, "Cough~"
"Well, well, Secretary Su, are you okay? I look at your face..."
"It was accidentally rubbed against me when I was getting off the car. It will be fine in two days."
"That group of people really deserve to be punished. Su Ning... Secretary Su, don't worry, I won't let them and the person behind the scenes go!"
Do you think you can rest assured once you're in there and that you can just turn around and find someone to use their connections to get you released?
dream!
After secretly spitting in hatred, Qiao Yuan looked at her with a solemn oath, "I promise that they will not dare to appear in front of you again."
He could only smile awkwardly but politely and concentrate on eating. Deep down, Suning had never worried about this.
Carefully pulling out a chair and sitting down opposite her, Qiao Yuan patiently waited for her to finish eating first, silently preparing what he was going to say later.
Chen Baishi was also very tactful. He sat down silently at the next table not too far away, and warned those around him who were ready to make a move with his eyes.
Immediately, most of the male compatriots, whether they had any thoughts on it or not, turned their heads and couldn't help but curse in their hearts.
It's really hard to find people around the beautiful Su. Behind her is the black-faced evil spirit Zhang Ze, followed by the fly-swatting expert Fu Jiaming, and in the middle is the sticky and scoundrel Qiao Yuan.
It’s difficult, too difficult!
Su Ning was unaware of the sighs and groans of the people around her. She only knew that being stared at so directly by someone again was so piercing that it felt like it would burn her in the next second.
Reluctantly, he stopped what he was doing, swallowed the food in his mouth, and asked, "Comrade Qiao, do you have anything else to say?"
"Hehe, Secretary Su, I want to talk to you."
"you say."
Putting down his chopsticks, Su Ning looked up at the person opposite him. His expression was very serious without any perfunctory look.
Qiao Yuan cleared his throat and rubbed his trouser legs nervously to wipe off the sticky sweat stains on his palms.
"My name is Qiao Yuan, the Yuan in Ningjing Zhiyuan. I am the only son in the family and I have an older sister named Qiao Jing.
He is 21 years old and graduated from high school. He is a third-level electrician in the first production room of a textile factory, and his monthly salary is 48 yuan.
My dad is Joe..."
"Stop, wait a moment."
Why does it seem more and more wrong the more I listen?
Having to interrupt his long speech, Su Ning looked at the man who was trying to sit upright with a puzzled look, "Comrade Qiao, why are you telling me this?"
"Suning, I like you. I want to date you with the intention of getting married. Do you agree?"
After finally saying this, Qiao Yuan didn't dare to breathe. All the blood in his body seemed to be rushing to his head, making his face hot and red, and it even tended to get hotter and hotter enough to cook an egg.
There was no shortage of admirers at school, but students were very reserved, and the boldest of them would just secretly slip various obscure letters into her schoolbag.
This was the first time that someone had expressed his desire to date someone so seriously in person, and she was stunned for a moment.
The person opposite him gradually became uneasy, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. After a few minutes of silence, Su Ning slowly spoke.
"First of all, thank you Comrade Qiao for your love, but I'm sorry that we are not suitable for each other."
The blush on her face faded quickly and visibly. Although he had expected that she would most likely refuse, at this moment, Qiao Yuan couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.
After trying hard to calm down, he gathered himself and asked again.
"What do you think is inappropriate? Or what do you dislike or are not satisfied with about me? I can change it!"
"It's not that question, it's that I don't have that kind of feeling for you. Shouldn't the premise of being in a relationship be mutual affection?"
Don’t people around me say that gay men who have good looks, a good salary, and a good family background are very easy to find a partner? Is that true based on his conditions?
It's better if the two of them like each other, but isn't it enough if you don't like him but don't dislike him either? It's not too late to cultivate feelings slowly after marriage, right?
"Su..."
"I'm sorry, Comrade Qiao. I have something else to do and I'll leave first."
He stood up decisively and closed the lunch box. Suning didn't like to drag things out and didn't want to argue with him about this matter any more.
He ignored the person who looked like he was about to cry and simply turned around and left.
It was none of her business what he thought, but there was no reason for her to make things difficult for herself out of fear of making others feel uncomfortable.
She has never experienced love and doesn't understand it very well, but if she likes someone, she likes him, and if she doesn't like someone, she doesn't like him. She can't do something like a former classmate who didn't like someone but didn't reject their advances.
"Brother Qiao? Are you okay?"
After listening to the entire conversation between the two, Chen Baishi looked at the receding figure, moved to his side and asked cautiously, "Brother Qiao?"
She glanced at the red corners of his eyes, then turned her head to look at the people around who were watching the fun and making trouble, fearing that one of them would accidentally poke his lungs and she would have to clean up the mess again.
Chen Baishi had to carefully consider his words and consoled her, "Su Ning..."
"Okay, shut up."
Okay, he'd better stop talking.
Making a gesture of shutting up manually, Chen Baishi helplessly swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Time passed minute by minute, and the man who had maintained that depressed expression for a long time finally recovered, stood up and slammed his fist on the table.
Qiao Yuan looked at the door of the cafeteria. Her figure was no longer there, but the fire that had rekindled in her eyes was more intense than before, with a hint of imperceptible madness.
"It's just a rejection, haha, I just don't believe it!"
At worst, he can just be prepared to be rejected a hundred times. Even a strong woman is afraid of being pestered by a man!
Maybe within a hundred times, she would be moved by his sincerity? Didn't the old man win the beauty in the same way? He could do the same!
Yes, that's it!
"Let's go, why are you still standing there?"
"Where are we going, Brother Qiao?"
“…”
