Chapter 228 Poisoned, Delivered to My Doorstep



“I often eat here, Sheng Qian. The food here is very authentic. You’ll definitely love it once you try it,” Jin Ruoxuan said with a smile as she led the way.

There are very few private rooms inside, and all of them were booked out today.

So they have to eat out.

There were quite a few guests.

Sheng Qian glanced at it briefly, then sat down.

The dishes were ordered by Jin Ruoxuan; they were authentic Beijing cuisine.

“Sheng Qian, you rarely eat at places like this, do you?” Xu Manman glanced at Sheng Qian and said with a smile.

"I don't often come to eat at places like this."

Sheng Qian glanced at Xu Manman, whose hostility towards her was obvious, and replied casually.

Xu Manman laughed and said, "Then you'd better eat your fill today, since Ruoxuan is treating."

“Sheng Qian, if you like it after you try it, I can come and eat with you often in the future,” Jin Ruoxuan quickly said.

Sheng Qian said, "Thank you, but I still prefer to eat at home."

"Sheng Qian, you don't need to worry about Ruoxuan not being able to afford you. Just come along from now on," Xu Manman said with a hint of disdain.

But she forgot that she herself was there to freeload.

Sheng Qian nodded and said nothing more.

Jin Ruoxuan glanced at Xu Manman and asked Sheng Qian, "What do you usually like to do?"

"Just wander around the capital," Sheng Qian said.

"Sheng Qian, don't you have a job yet? If not, Ruoxuan's factory is short of general workers, and they pay fifty yuan a month."

When Xu Manman said this, it was as if she were talking about her own factory.

That pride was impossible to hide.

Sheng Qian smiled faintly, "I don't like going out to work."

Xu Manman felt even more contemptuous; so she was just a lazy, gluttonous vixen.

She just wants to rely on a man to support her, doesn't she?

That's so shameless.

Xu Manman didn't hide her disdain for Sheng Qian at all. "What about your family? If your family needs work, Ruoxuan can help arrange it. If you think the salary is too low, we can raise it by a few dollars."

Before Jin Ruoxuan, the person in question, could even speak, Xu Manman had already arranged everything.

This makes Jin Ruoxuan seem like an outsider.

Sheng Qian found it somewhat amusing.

Jin Ruoxuan's taste in friends isn't very good either.

"Yes, Sheng Qian, did your family come to the capital with you?" Jin Ruoxuan hadn't seen Sheng Qian and her family out and about, so she was a little curious.

Jin Ruoxuan didn't say a word about Xu Manman's unauthorized actions.

Seeing this, Sheng Qian suddenly realized that Jin Ruoxuan didn't really care much about Xu Manman as a friend.

It does seem like he's about to trick his friend.

Sheng Qian didn't bother with the matter between the two and replied, "My family hasn't come to the capital yet."

"Oh, I see. Then you must let me know when your aunt and uncle come to Beijing. We're friends now, so it's only right that I, as their friend, host them when they visit," Jin Ruoxuan quickly tried to curry favor with Sheng Qian.

He was trying to curry favor again.

Xu Manman had lost count of how many times she had frowned.

strangeness.

Jin Ruoxuan's attitude towards Sheng Qian is really strange.

Xu Manman narrowed her eyes and stared at Sheng Qian.

"Miss Sheng?"

At this moment, someone from the group of people who came out from the front called out to Sheng Qian.

Upon hearing the voice, they looked over and saw Pan Xianyun, Tang Weiming, and others walking over from the front.

Sheng Qian raised her eyebrows, then stood up with a smile: "Professor Pan, Boss Tang..."

"Eating here?" Although Pan Xianyun couldn't touch Sheng Qian, he couldn't resist his admiration for her looks, and his gaze remained fixed on her once it landed on him.

"Yes, I'm having dinner with this Miss Jin."

Pan Xianyun then turned his gaze to Jin Ruoxuan and Xu Manman.

Xu Manman narrowed her eyes upon seeing this.

Could this be the Professor Pan that Jin Ruoxuan mentioned?

"Professor Pan!" Jin Ruoxuan was also very surprised to see the legendary Professor Pan here.

Pan Xianyun's achievements are quite well-known outside the community, and outsiders who don't know much about him feel a deep respect for him.

Jin Ruoxuan was no exception at this time.

Hearing Jin Ruoxuan excitedly call out to the other person, Xu Manman couldn't help but excitedly reply, "Hello Professor Pan, my name is Xu Manman! It's an honor to meet you here!"

Xu Manman took a few steps forward and gently extended her hand with a smile.

Xu Manman is undoubtedly beautiful, but compared to Sheng Qian, her appearance is simply unbearable.

However, if viewed individually, her figure and face are both quite good.

She blocked Sheng Qian's view in this way, hoping to attract Pan Xianyun's attention, and she succeeded.

“Miss Sheng’s friends are all extraordinary!” Pan Xianyun said with a smile, making a cryptic remark.

Tang Weiming glanced at Sheng Qian; the scene from that day still flashed vividly before his eyes.

Upon seeing Sheng Qian again, he had another idea in his mind.

But seeing that Pan Xianyun's gaze was clearly fixed on Xu Manman, he changed his mind again.

A beautiful woman is beautiful, but she has thorns that can prick you.

However, this one came to me willingly, and it suited my taste better.

Pan Xianyun prefers benefits that are offered to him, even if the person isn't particularly good-looking.

Seeing that Pan Xianyun was looking at her, Xu Manman proudly puffed out her chest and glanced at Sheng Qian.

Sheng Qian smiled faintly and remained silent.
