"As you wish, I can order anything. Brother Song, you order the dishes." Qiao Mo handed the menu to Song Yanzhang.
Song Yanzhang saw that she really didn't want to order any dishes, so he took the menu and ordered steamed sea bass, braised lion's head, shrimp with cashews, salted duck and two seasonal vegetables, with rice as a side.
Because Song Yanzhang and his friends had to drive back home, and there was only strong liquor here, Song Yanzhang ordered a few bottles of soda despite Qiao Mo's objection.
"Qiao Xiaomei, I heard that you want to follow us to the south. I wonder if you understand Cantonese." Liang Xing asked indifferently.
"I know a little bit of Cantonese, but it's not that I want to follow you to the south. It was Brother Song who invited me to join. If you don't want to, you can just say it directly. There's no need to be sarcastic to a little girl like me and embarrass me. It won't do you any good." Qiao Mo looked at him coldly and said.
"Liang Xing, it was me who invited Qiao Xiaomei. Yesterday, Qiao Xiaomei went to see Wei Hua. I thought she was a nice person and had plenty of money, so I suddenly decided to invite her to join us and go to the south with us. It was my fault for not discussing it with you in advance, but it has nothing to do with Qiao Xiaomei." Song Yanzhang frowned and said.
He made it clear to him after returning home yesterday. If he disagreed, he could have raised it then, but he didn't. Now he is attacking Qiao Mo. What does this mean?
"That's not what I meant, but the south is in chaos right now. It's not a good thing for a girl to cross the border. I'm afraid I can't protect her. If something happens, I'll regret it." A trace of guilt flashed in Liang Xing's eyes.
Last time he saw Song Yanzhang being so enthusiastic about Qiao Mo, he thought that he had a crush on him, but later he realized that Song Yanzhang was not capable of arranging a marriage himself, so even if he had a crush on Qiao Mo, it would be useless. That's why he didn't spoil her, let alone take her to get rich.
"You don't need to worry about my cousin. Not to mention that she can protect herself, even if she is really just a weak girl, I will hire someone to protect her." Yang Weihua looked at him with displeasure in his eyes. Why should he, a commoner, look down on his cousin? Is it just because of the few dirty dollars he has?
"Cousin, Brother Song, since your partner is unwilling, I will not participate in this matter." Although Qiao Mo wanted to take a ride, she couldn't get close to him if he was unwilling. There were many profitable businesses, so why should she bother herself and make herself unhappy?
"Little Sister Qiao..."
"Brother Song, you don't have to say anything. I know you're looking out for me because of my cousin, but I don't need it." Song Yanzhang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Qiao Mo, "You two are brothers. There's no need to have conflicts over an outsider like me."
"I'm sorry, Qiao Xiaomei, I didn't handle things properly and made you feel wronged." Song Yanzhang saw the contempt in Liang Xing's eyes and understood why Qiao Mo didn't want to participate. After all, he had such a good channel, why should he suffer such humiliation?
"It's okay. I'm just an orphan from a commoner family. It's normal for people to look down on me." Qiao Mo also said self-deprecatingly.
"Cousin, don't talk about yourself like that. It's just that some people look down on you." Yang Weihua glared at Liang Xing fiercely and snorted in his heart. He was a person who only knew how to flatter the powerful and look down on the weak, and he thought he was so great.
"Qiao Mo, you can't say that about yourself. Your father sacrificed his life for the country and the interests of the people. He is a national hero and the most lovely person. As your father's daughter, you should also be respected by people, instead of being despised for it." As a descendant of a soldier, Song Yanzhang still values the orphans of martyrs.
"Yes, Brother Zhang is right. My second uncle sacrificed his life to save national property. Although you have lost your father's love and support, you should not be looked down upon." Yang Weihua felt that Song Yanzhang said it very well.
"Thank you, Brother Song, and thank you, cousin, for speaking fair words for a martyr's orphan like me." Qiao Mo looked at Liang Xing with contempt.
