Chapter 94 We Meet Again
An Yan didn't want to get involved in the quarrel between the two men, and felt that there was no need to mediate. She didn't understand the friendship between men, so she quietly left alone.
Meanwhile, Li Rongsen in the room was seriously warning Sheng Mingjie, saying, "Why are you doing this? What's your intention?"
"I have no ulterior motives. I just wish the best for my two friends."
"You're drinking just to give her a chance to call me and ask me to come over. Do you think it's worth it?"
Sheng Mingjie frowned and said, "As long as she is happy."
"I don't think you need to be so humble. You sell yourself out just to please her, and then be despised by your friends. Do you think this is fun?" Li Rongsen asked him.
Sheng Mingjie finally couldn't help himself and asked, "You really have no interest in Zhou Qingxue at all?"
"Why should I be interested in her?"
"It's been so many years, and you don't have a fiancée anymore. She is the only person of the opposite sex you keep in touch with regularly. Are you not interested in her?" Sheng Mingjie wanted to clarify this matter.
"I don't like her at all, especially now. I dislike her even more. She's almost breaking the boundaries. She actually asked you to drink a glass of red wine to fulfill her stupid and ridiculous scheme."
"You might as well look at the problem from another angle. She just wants to see you." Sheng Mingjie said. He didn't blame Zhou Qingxue at all. He even felt that he was indulging her. Maybe it was because he liked her, or maybe it was for some other reason. In short, he didn't want to lose these two friends.
Li Rongsen said, "There's nothing to meet."
"You are deliberately avoiding her, right?" Sheng Mingjie finally understood the crux of the problem.
"Yes, I think we need to keep a certain distance to avoid misunderstandings." Li Rongsen nodded.
"For whom?" Sheng Mingjie asked again.
Li Rongsen immediately replied: "It's not for anyone, I just want to keep my distance from her."
Sheng Mingjie shrugged and said, "Okay, I get it."
"You're such a bastard. You almost lost your life. Fortunately, An Yan was able to cure you." Li Rongsen said and turned to look for An Yan, but found that she was gone.
Sheng Mingjie didn't say anything. He also felt a little silly.
Li Rongsen said to Sheng Mingjie again: "Let's ask Anyan out for dinner some other time. You owe her this."
"Okay, I'll take note of that." Sheng Mingjie said he had no objection.
"Remember to call me." Li Rongsen said and left.
Sheng Mingjie thought what he said just now was quite interesting. What did he mean by remember to invite him? Why did he have to invite him? Couldn't he just invite her alone?
Outside the window, it started to drizzle, and gradually became heavier, dripping.
An Yan didn't bring an umbrella when she came out, and she couldn't get a taxi for a while, so she stood at the bus stop waiting for a taxi.
She was going to see Mr. Li. Today was the day they had an appointment to treat his leg. She glanced at her watch and realized she was almost late.
But the rain didn't stop and the taxi didn't come.
Just as she was worrying, she saw a black car slowly stop in front of her, as if it was the car she called.
But An Yan didn't pay attention. She thought the car was about to go on another business. The window rolled down and a handsome white-faced man appeared. He said, "Hello, we meet again. Get in the car. I'll give you a ride."
"I don't remember." An Yan was about to say this when she remembered who he was.
The man said, "I'm Bai Shichen. Nice to see you again. Get in the car! The rain is getting heavier."
An Yan didn't like to trouble others, but she couldn't think of any better way at the moment, so she opened the car door and got in, saying to him, "What a coincidence."
"You looked familiar to me from afar. When I got closer, I found that you were indeed an acquaintance. You finally gave me the opportunity to repay me." Bai Shichen's tone was soft and humorous, a humor that was not unpleasant to others.
An Yan pulled the corner of her mouth slightly and said, "Thank you very much. I'll go to the Li Mansion."
"What a coincidence, I'm going there too." Bai Shichen replied. He thought to himself that this was fate, it was really incredible.
An Yan looked at his face and asked, "Are you familiar with the Li family?"
"My grandfather and Grandpa Li have been good friends for many years. I haven't visited him since I came back from abroad. I specially prepared something to go see him today, but I didn't expect you to be on the same road." Bai Shichen told her the whole story and asked her, "You are a person who knows how to be grateful but doesn't expect to repay it."
"That's just a small thing, so why bother thinking about rewards?"
"But I am the one who wants to thank you for everything." Bai Shichen said with a smile, his tone full of tenderness, a tenderness that was not offensive.
An Yan thought this person was quite interesting. Why should she take such a small matter to heart? No matter who it was that day, she would have given a helping hand. She didn't mean to help him on purpose.
Bai Shichen asked her, "What is your relationship with Grandpa Li?"
"I went to help him treat his leg." An Yan did not hide it from him. He would see it soon anyway.
Bai Shichen was curious and took a closer look at her while the traffic light was red. He said, "I didn't expect you to be a doctor. I thought you were still studying."
"I am a quack, a barefoot doctor." An Yan said modestly.
"It is said that the Sweeping Monk's martial arts rank first. I dare not underestimate you." Bai Shichen had a very good first impression of her, a clean girl. He had been waiting for her call, but never got it. He thought that she was not someone who would take advantage of the opportunity to seek benefits, so he felt even better about her.
An Yan didn't respond and noticed that the car suddenly braked. It turned out that someone was crossing the road in front.
Bai Shichen didn't curse, but stopped to the side and waited for him to pass, but then said to An Yan: "Wait for him for a while, you are not in a hurry."
"It's too late." An Yan said, so she was no longer in a hurry.
Old Master Li was really anxious. He kept looking at his watch, but he was too embarrassed to call An Yan, as it would seem that he was petty and couldn't wait for a while.
He said, "Why is she late today? Is there something wrong?"
"It's raining heavily outside. It might be hard to get a taxi. She would have come if she hadn't called." The people around him comforted him.
Old Master Li looked out the window at the heavy rain and murmured, "This is my mistake. I forgot to ask Rong Sen to pick her up. It's really inconvenient without a car."
At this time, the doorbell rang.
Old Master Li immediately said, "Quick, go open the door, it's An Yan coming." While looking towards the door.
But when he saw Bai Shichen walking in with something in his hand, he couldn't help feeling disappointed. But the next moment, he saw An Yan walking in with him. He couldn't help feeling a little surprised. Could it be that old man Bai Qingtian had already put them together?
This doesn't work very well.
An Yan said: "Sorry, I'm late."
"Did you come here together?" Old Master Li couldn't help but ask.
"I came here in his car." An Yan told him the truth.
Old Master Li was immediately displeased. Seeing Li Rongsen come in again, he immediately scolded him, saying, "What's wrong with you? Didn't you know An Yan was coming to help me with my leg treatment today? You should have gone to pick her up when you saw it was raining outside. How come you don't even have time for this? How could you not even think of this?"
Li Rongsen truly felt that he was innocent. He really didn't know, and his old man hadn't told him either.
