Zhou Rang coughed lightly, avoiding Su Nan's burning gaze, and said directly: "This is my girlfriend Su Nan."
"Hello, nice to meet you. From now on, don't call me Miss Su. Just call me by my name." Su Nan smiled sweetly and raised the glass of orange juice in her hand to them.
Everyone quickly agreed, raised their glasses, and clinked them politely.
"This is Yang Qianhe, and the person next to her is Tian Yuanyuan. They are husband and wife."
"This is Chen Jialing, and next to her is Wang Changyuan. They are also a couple."
"This is Zhang Xiang."
"This is Zheng Guangqi. You met him before in Sang'an County."
Su Nan carefully memorized the names one by one in his mind to avoid calling the wrong person in the future, which would be embarrassing.
"We are all old classmates and our homes are very close to each other. You are welcome, sister-in-law. Just order whatever you want to eat." Tian Yuanyuan handed the menu to Su Nan and said enthusiastically.
"Okay, thank you Sister Yuanyuan." Su Nan curled her lips into a smile and agreed generously. She first asked if everyone present had any dietary restrictions, and then opened the menu.
After ordering the restaurant's signature dishes and a few sure-fire side dishes, he stopped and asked if they wanted any more. Everyone shook their heads, and then Su Nan raised his hand slightly and handed the menu back to the waiter.
Seeing Su Nan's smooth and skillful movements, taking care of everyone and being extremely graceful and polite, the others silently developed a better impression of her in their hearts.
"By the way, I saw in the news that you opened a store. The name of that store is 'rich', right?" Tian Yuanyuan suddenly seemed to remember something, leaned forward slightly, and looked at Su Nan expectantly.
"Yeah." Su Nan didn't understand, but nodded anyway.
"My sister told me a few days ago that she found a job, and it turned out to be in your store." Tian Yuanyuan clapped her hands and spoke happily.
Hearing this, Su Nan felt that the world was too small. A smile spread across his lips, and he asked in surprise, "Could it be that your sister is Xiao Nuan?"
"Yes, her name is Tian Xiaonuan. Oh, what a coincidence." Tian Yuanyuan slapped Yang Qianhe on the back with such force that Su Nan felt pain just by looking at it, and a trace of pain seemed to appear on his back as well.
Su Nan's gaze subconsciously fell on Tian Yuanyuan's gentle face, and he swallowed his saliva. This is what they say: you can't judge a book by its cover.
"Hiss, wife, please be gentler next time." Yang Qianhe touched his back and wailed exaggeratedly. His resentful eyes made the other people at the table laugh.
Tian Yuanyuan gave an embarrassed smile and pinched Yang Qianhe's thigh flesh under the table in a bad mood. She said with a fake smile, "Husband, was I too rough?"
"It's not serious, it's not serious." Yang Qianhe quickly restrained the expression on his face and denied it seriously.
Hearing him say this, Tian Yuanyuan snorted softly: "That's more like it."
Su Nan couldn't help but cover her lips and laugh, falling on Zhou Rang's shoulder. Then she lowered her eyes and hugged her shoulders lovingly.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiang on the side looked away, raised her head and drank the red wine in one gulp, then slammed the wine glass on the table. Although the noise was not loud, it was concealed by the serving process, so no one else noticed her abnormality.
Only Zheng Guangchen, who was sitting next to her, seemed to have noticed something and stared at Zhang Xiangchen's profile thoughtfully.
"If my sister does anything wrong, you should teach her a lesson. She has never suffered much hardship since she was a child. Only after she has been tempered outside this time will she understand things better."
Tian Yuanyuan raised her glass and gestured to Su Nan, then tilted her head back and drank it all.
Su Nan quickly returned the greeting and said, "I don't manage the store directly myself. I've assigned it to dedicated people to run it. So I won't be partial or target Xiao Nuan. Everything depends on her performance."
"That's great." Tian Yuanyuan's smile froze for a moment, but she quickly returned to normal and started eating.
Su Nan lowered her eyes imperceptibly. Tian Yuanyuan's words seemed to ask her to discipline Tian Xiaonuan, but in reality, they were asking her to take good care of her own sister.
But if something like that happens once, there will be a second time. Why did she make her shop so messy?
And if you really want Tian Xiaonuan to become better and better, you shouldn't do this. You must know that experience in society is the best way to make a person grow rapidly.
During the next meal, adhering to the fine Chinese tradition of not talking while eating and not talking while sleeping, few people spoke.
When they were almost done eating, Su Nan picked up her makeup bag and whispered in Zhou Rang's ear, "I'm going to the bathroom to touch up my makeup."
"Yeah, okay." Zhou Rang nodded and watched Su Nan leave.
As soon as Su Nan arrived, the dining table was plunged into a strange atmosphere.
Chen Jialing, who had been silent the whole time, wiped her mouth with a napkin and said in a cold voice, "Su Nan, I like it very much."
Wang Changyuan, who was drinking, turned his head to look at his wife in surprise. You know, it is not easy to get affirmation from her.
Zhou Rang knew this as well, and he raised his eyebrows with some pride and said, "No matter how much I like her, she's my partner."
Chen Jialing glanced at him calmly, her eyes seeming to say, "Childish."
"Brother Rang, when are you going to bring her home to show her to uncle and aunt?" Zhang Xiang put his hands on the table, supporting his chin, and asked at the right moment, his face full of curiosity, as if he was really thinking about the two of them.
Zhang Xiang remembered that Zhou Rang's father had once said in front of many people that what he disliked most was girls who were good at playing with everyone, and actresses were one of them.
If Zhou Rang brings Su Nan home, then no one else will say anything, Zhou's father will be able to break up the couple and separate them.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiang's lips slowly curled up into an arc.
Before Zhou Rang could reply, Zheng Guangqi spoke first, "Miss Su is a serious student at Huaqing University. She still has her studies to do. It's never too late to meet her parents, okay?"
"Oh, yes, I almost forgot about this. Last year at that time, the whole Shanghai was reporting about this. I remember he was the top scorer, right?" Wang Changyuan put his hands on the table and said in amazement.
"That's right, a top scholar, an actress, a great beauty, and she's also good at making money. I'll be thankful if my future wife can have any of these." Zheng Guangqi pursed his lips, looking very distressed.
"Stop teasing you." Zhou Rang smiled and pointed at the tip of Zheng Guang's nose. Then he sighed softly and said, "It's not that I don't want to take it back, it's Nan Nan who keeps putting it off. But you can't really say she's putting it off."
At this point, Zhou Rang frowned, not knowing how to express himself. Finally, he leaned back in his chair helplessly, spread his hands, and pondered for a long time.
"Every time I bring up this topic, she diverts my attention just as I start, and then I lose the topic altogether. Why do you think that is?"
