Because Xiao Shenglin's body had not yet fully recovered, Zhou Nan chose a vegetarian restaurant.
The vegetarian restaurant was built in a Su-style garden. The area was not very large, but every detail, including the small bridges, flowing water, rockeries and potted plants, was exquisite. It was no exaggeration to say that there was a new scene at every step. Song Xuanhe was a little surprised. He had been in the imperial capital for so long, but he had never known there was such a place before.
Zhou Nan was not paying attention to the scenery. He led the way and asked curiously, "What did you and your brother talk about before? Did you have a quarrel? Otherwise, how could you talk for so long with the style of asking and answering questions and then ending the conversation?"
"Who said we were asking and answering questions?"
"Don't you usually ask and answer each other? Remember the last time I went to Song's to look for you, you were standing by the elevator talking to Brother Lin. Brother Lin asked you if you had eaten yet, and you said no. Then the two of you just stood there staring at each other, unable to say a word. I almost laughed myself crazy when I saw you."
Song Xuanhe glanced at him and walked past him.
Zhou Nan caught up with him, and walked side by side with Song Xuanhe. He turned around and looked at him and smiled, "What exactly is the matter with Bai Mo that your brother mentioned? I'm very curious, so tell me."
Song Xuanhe paused, and Zhou Nan also stopped and said, "No way, you are not willing to satisfy my curiosity with such a small matter. How can you suddenly become so cruel after playing outside..."
"...Hmm?" Zhou Nan turned his head and looked ahead, dragging out the word "ruthless" on his lips, turning it into a question word, and then looked at Song Xuanhe nonchalantly: "Is this a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road?"
Song Xuanhe glanced at him. The person walking towards them had already walked in front of them. Bai Mo smiled and said, "Second Young Master Song, Young Master Zhou, long time no see."
Zhou Nan raised his eyebrows, and the smile at the end of his eyes was a bit teasing: "It's true that we haven't seen each other for a long time, but I have heard a lot of rumors."
Bai Mo's smile remained unchanged, his eyes fixed on Song Xuanhe: "I heard that the Second Young Master has suddenly become interested in the fashion design industry. Your work will be featured in the upcoming fashion week. I am very much looking forward to it. I wish you success."
Song Xuanhe's eyes swept over Jiang Deyi behind Bai Mo, and he curled his lips and said, "Thank you."
Bai Mo blinked and asked curiously, "Are you two here to eat? I've never seen you here before."
"It's my first time here." Song Xuanhe said, "Because my friend was injured, he needs to eat light food. Master Bai seems to be here for the same reason?"
Jiang Deyi, who had been keeping his head down, froze, raised his eyes slightly to glance at Bai Mo, then lowered his head again.
Bai Mo smiled and said, "I'm a vegetarian, so I come here often, but that's also one of the reasons."
Song Xuanhe nodded seriously, and suddenly smiled and said, "In that case, it seems that I should treat you two to a cup of tea."
Bai Mo was stunned, and Jiang Deyi quickly raised his head. Song Xuanhe smiled and said, "I have always heard that Mr. Jiang's hand injury is related to me. Although I just heard the news recently, I have been curious about why someone said that. Now that I have met the victim and the person who spread the news, I must treat you to a meal to satisfy my curiosity as the other protagonist of the rumor, right?"
Jiang Deyi's bandaged hand trembled, and the smile on Bai Mo's face faded a little, but he still looked innocent. He smiled and said, "I was wrong about this. Deyi is my good friend abroad. I haven't seen him for a long time after I returned to China. I was very surprised when I heard that he was going to Mr. Feng Tong's studio, but later Mr. Feng Tong chose to cooperate with you, and I was a little disappointed. Later, when I saw my injured friend, I heard that you had had several unpleasant experiences with him before, so I couldn't help but mention you when I mentioned him to others. I didn't expect that a casual mention of you would change the taste in other people's mouths, and then it became more and more unrecognizable, which made me realize the horror of three people making a tiger."
"So, Master Bai didn't say at that time that the hand of Mr. Jiang Deyi behind you was injured by Song Er?" Zhou Nan asked.
Bai Mo nodded: "Yes." Then he looked at Song Xuanhe with some guilt and said: "But for this matter, I still want to apologize to you. After all, if I hadn't mentioned you at the time, there wouldn't be such rumors. Please accept my apology."
No matter who is right in the matter, as long as one party apologizes first, the other party will be at a disadvantage if he or she refuses to give in. Zhou Nan frowned when he heard Bai Mo's words. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Song Xuanhe say, "Since Mr. Bai didn't mean it, I won't pursue it. But I invited you to have tea for another reason."
"No need to drink tea." Bai Mo smiled and said, "Deyi and I have an appointment, so it's not appropriate for us to stay here for too long. Besides, Second Young Master and Zhou Young Master are here for dinner. If we delay your dinner, I will feel very guilty. If you have any questions, you can ask them here. If we know the answers, we will answer them truthfully."
This is a public place, and the questions Song Xuanhe wants to ask are definitely not ordinary greetings. However, once it involves other slightly more serious topics, it would not be appropriate to ask here, so Bai Mo's words can be regarded as a tactful refusal.
Unexpectedly, Song Xuanhe didn't care at all. He just smiled with a clear face and said in a very sincere tone: "Mr. Jiang Deyi and Mr. Hayden have a close relationship. I just wanted to ask Mr. Jiang Deyi about Mr. Hayden's recent situation. Last time we met on the cruise ship, we had a not-so-short chat. Mr. Hayden and I had a very pleasant conversation. It was like we were old friends. We had a tacit understanding. Every time I recall it, I still want more. However, I have rarely heard from him recently, so when I saw Mr. Jiang Deyi, I wanted to ask about his recent situation."
Song Xuanhe's words not only made Bai Mo and Jiang Deyi speechless, but even Zhou Nan thought he was very shameless. Everyone here knew what happened on the cruise ship last time, and if the verbal battle had not been so decent, the two of them would have been at the end of a fistfight. How could Song Xuanhe still have the nerve to say that they "had a great conversation, had a great understanding, and were still not satisfied"?
Zhou Nan felt that if Hayden Schroeder had really heard this idiom, he would probably be so angry that he would vent his anger through violence, which he had not expressed due to the occasion on the cruise ship.
Bai Mo was shocked at Song Xuanhe's ability to lie with open eyes, but he couldn't find any fault with what he said. He couldn't question his relationship with Hayden Schroeder on the spot, and he really didn't ask any inappropriate questions, he just didn't want to answer them at all.
However, Song Xuanhe didn't even spare Bai Mo's glance. He just looked at the top of Jiang Deyi's head with a smile and reminded, "Mr. Jiang?"
I don't know if it was because of anger or something, but Jiang Deyi's body felt like a sieve. After a long while, he finally squeezed out three trembling words from his teeth: "He's fine."
"Does he have any plans to travel to China recently?" Song Xuanhe continued to ask, "I can't wait to meet him and continue the chat we had last time."
Jiang Deyi paused with his trembling body, and finally raised his head, looked at Song Xuanhe and said, "You took away everything from me and made me like this? What else do you want? What else do you want to do to Hayden? He has already - what on earth do you want!"
It turned out that Jiang Deyi was angry.
Looking at his red eyes and hateful look, Song Xuanhe and Zhou Nan came to the same conclusion.
Song Xuanhe seemed confused by his sudden outburst and said innocently, "Mr. Jiang, I don't understand what you mean. What do you mean by I took away everything from you? And I don't seem to have done anything to you, right?"
Jiang Deyi said with a face full of resentment, "Fengtong Studio! That was an opportunity that I prepared for two years and spent countless efforts and connections to get. You intervened in what was supposed to be a sure thing! You actually said that you didn't take anything from me! And the cufflinks and the eldest son of Xiao's! You dated him because you knew he was the eldest son of Xiao's. How could someone like you really like someone! The eldest son of Xiao's fell in love with you because he was deceived by your innocent appearance. Just wait, people like you will never have a good ending! The eldest son of Xiao's will dump you one day!"
Song Xuanhe finally stopped laughing. He raised his eyebrows, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, and said, "Just like Hayden Schroeder dumped you?"
Jiang Deyi's angry expression was blank for a moment, then he twisted his voice and said, "Who said Hayden dumped me? It was you who caused him to be excluded from the list of heirs and made him disabled. It's all your fault! Song Xuanhe, you will get your comeuppance!"
Song Xuanhe: "The things Zhou Rong had in his hand must have come from you, right? You contacted Hayden Schroeder to get the things from the Schroeder family, and then acted as a middleman to give the things to Zhou Rong, and made a lot of money from the difference."
Jiang Deyi's expression changed, and the panic and surprise in his eyes almost jumped out of his frame. He said, "What? What are you talking about?"
"If I'm not mistaken." Song Xuanhe seemed not to notice his guilty conscience and continued, "You got the things from Hayden Schroeder in the name of revenge against me, so you could only give him one. But later you tasted the sweetness of making a profit from the price difference, and you couldn't help but find other buyers. But you didn't expect that because of this, Xiao Yuanmu's people followed the clues and caught you."
"No!" Jiang Deyi's face looked very ugly, and he looked at Song Xuanhe with fear.
He was very sure that Song Xuanhe had absolutely no knowledge of this matter, because before he fell into a coma, he vaguely heard Xiao Yuanmu and the people around him tell Song Xuanhe not to tell this matter. But if Xiao Yuanmu didn't say it, how did Song Xuanhe know about it?
The more Jiang Deyi thought about it, the more frightened he became. He didn't say anything, but Song Xuanhe guessed the truth of the matter almost exactly. Moreover, he was able to remain so calm after knowing everything. This feeling reminded him of Xiao Yuanmu who was interrogating him at that time. Under his seemingly calm appearance, there was a chilling calmness.
"So." Song Xuanhe leaned forward slightly until he was eye-to-eye with Jiang Deyi, then he stared into his eyes and said in a mocking tone: "Everything you have done is your own fault, and everything that happened to Hayden Schroeder was also because of you."
Looking at Jiang Deyi's pale face, Song Xuanhe stood up and said with a squinting eye: "So, if we talk about the miserable end and retribution, it should be you."
