After Jiang Ling finished venting her frustrations, all the food she ordered was served, and the next thing to do was eat! Jiang Ling's habit of eating a lot when she was angry has been with her since she was a child. Today, she had been so angry, so naturally she needed to have a big meal to calm down.
Li Jia ate while watching Jiang Ling. For half an hour, Jiang Ling didn't say a single word. She just kept her head down and ate until she was comfortable and her breathing was smooth, then she slowed down.
Looking at the half-eaten steak in front of Li Jia, he asked, "Why aren't you eating? Oh, by the way, did you invite me to dinner because you have something to say? Are you really so kind as to invite me to dinner knowing I'm in a bad mood today?"
"Hehe, it's really nothing serious. If anything, I'd just treat you to another big meal," Li Jia said with a smile, looking at Jiang Ling's stuffed mouth.
"Really? That's great! Anyway, I don't have anything to do this week. So, when?" Jiang Ling said after wiping her mouth with a tissue.
"Come with me to a wedding this Friday. I'm sure you'll be interested." Li Jia thought of the name on the invitation. "I wonder if this Liang Feng is the one who deceived her. If so, An Ran is probably going to be heartbroken."
"Okay, where is it? Whose wedding is it?" Jiang Ling immediately became interested upon hearing Li Jia's words and quickly asked.
“A friend of mine, her husband’s name is Liang Feng.” Li Jia finished speaking and looked at Jiang Ling’s expression.
Jiang Ling's expression immediately froze after hearing Li Jia's words. "What did you say? Liang Feng?"
“Yes, that’s right, it’s Liang Feng. I just want to know if he’s the Liang Feng you know, that’s why I came to find you. If he’s not, then there’s nothing to worry about. But if he is, I think I have to make my friend sad.” After saying that, Li Jia cut a medium-rare steak with her right hand and put it in her mouth to eat.
"Okay, I promise you, but I need to meet your friend first." Jiang Ling naturally didn't believe that the person would dare to return to City B after so much time had passed; it was probably just a coincidence of names.
"Okay, I'll call you later. Now, are you calmed down?" Li Jia put down her knife and fork and asked calmly.
"Yeah, I'm not angry anymore, Li Jia... thank you!" Jiang Ling said sincerely, it was unclear whether she was thanking Li Jia for treating her to dinner or for something else.
"Hehe, there's no need for so much formality between friends. Let's have some coffee after we finish eating." Li Jia gestured to the waiter, and just as she was about to order, her phone rang. "Excuse me, just a moment, I need to take this call." She told Jiang Ling and took out her phone.
The phone number belonged to Li Xiaotong. I wondered why she was calling at this hour. "Xiaotong, what's up?"
But what happened next made Li Jia's expression change slightly, because Li Xiaotong's voice on the phone wasn't speaking to Li Jia: "Where are you taking me? I'm not the Li Xiaotong I used to be! Stop the car, I want to go back to my studies!"
"Xiao Tong, don't get excited. It's just that Brother Gouzi wants to see you. You haven't come out to have dinner with Brother Gouzi for so long, so Brother Gouzi specially booked a private room at Deyuelou to chat with you."
"Yeah, you've been with Dog Brother's girl before, you can't just not give him this much face, can you?"
"Oh? So that's how it is. Why didn't you bastards say so earlier? You even shoved me into the car like you were kidnapping me! I really don't know how Brother Gouzi taught you guys! Fine, I won't hold it against you. Tell me, what kind of private room is Deyuelou? I want to hear if it's classy enough! If it's not classy enough, I'll have Gouzi find another place!"
"Don't worry! The Star-Picking Terrace at Deyue Tower, how about that? Pretty classy, right? That's the best private room at Deyue Tower, the only one on the top floor. Brother Gouzi really spent a lot of money this time."
"Tch, the Moon-Gazing Pavilion and Star-Picking Terrace are barely passable! You bastard, can't you drive a little slower? Are you in such a hurry to be reincarnated?!"
Li Jia put the phone in her pocket, still on the line. "Officer Jiang, I'm afraid I have to go now. There are some things I need to take care of, and I can't delay. Come on, I'll give you a ride home on my way." After saying that, Li Jia grabbed Jiang Ling's hand, threw down the money for the meal, and left.
Li Jia was driving very fast. At this moment, Li Jia had put on the Bluetooth earphones that she rarely used and was listening to the information that Li Xiaotong had deliberately provided to her while driving.
Jiang Ling, who was standing next to her, didn't know what Li Jia was up to, but she didn't ask. Li Jia gave her the impression that she could handle any situation, so she didn't bother to ask if Li Jia didn't say anything. Soon, Li Jia took Jiang Ling to the entrance of the botanical garden, which was not far from Tianxiang Garden. "Let's go for a walk in the botanical garden and relax. I'll come pick you up in a bit."
Jiang Ling nodded, and Li Jia drove off at high speed, disappearing from her sight. Jiang Ling then turned and walked into the botanical garden in City B.
Li Jia's speed had increased to around 80 km/h, which is basically considered speeding in the city. However, Li Jia's car rarely took the main roads, instead taking alleyways. Finally, just as Li Xiaotong finished her second drink, they arrived at the entrance of Deyuelou.
After parking the car, Li Jia strode into Deyue Tower and said something to the guide in the lobby. The guide then led Li Jia to the stairs. "Go up to the sixth floor from here and you'll see it."
Li Jia nodded and stepped onto the stairs. This Deyuelou was really traditional; they didn't even have an elevator. Li Jia moved quickly. By the time she heard Li Xiaotong finish her third drink in her earphones, Li Jia had already arrived at the door of the Zhaixingtai private room. Two waiters were standing at the door. Seeing Li Jia's arrival, they hurriedly and attentively opened the door and said to Li Jia, "Please come in!"
