Chapter 38
Cao Wanjun immediately poured himself a cup of tea and said, "Sister-in-law, this is for you. If my brother is not sensible, please bear with him."
Li Qingyao clinked glasses with him: "No problem."
Cao Wanjun laughed loudly.
Chen Pu also smiled, his eyes fixed on Li Qingyao's face. Cao Wanjun was right. Even though Chen Pu felt that he didn't need a girlfriend to save face, Li Qingyao's free and easy manner gave him the first impression of being very face-saving. It's feelings like: My girlfriend is smart and good at speaking, she can handle the situation so well, Cao Wanjun must be so envious... At the same time, he also felt it was new because he had never seen Li Qingyao's sophisticated side in front of others. After all, she was always the boss in front of him.
This shop has square tables and benches. Originally, Chen Pu and Li Qingyao sat opposite each other. But when Cao Wan's army arrived, Chen Pu sat on the same bench with Li Qingyao. At this moment, he couldn't help but put his arm around the person's shoulders and followed their conversation and said, "What's wrong with me? How dare I go west when you tell me to go east?"
Cao Wanjun couldn't listen any longer and gave Chen Pu a thumbs up: "Brother, you are also good at dating. It's really impressive. Last year, I had a party with some classmates and you didn't come. We even made a bet on how old you would be single. I bet on 40. I underestimated you."
Chen Pu frowned slightly. There was nothing wrong with what Cao Wanjun said, but it still gave people the feeling that Chen Pu's products were very unsalable and difficult to sell. That won’t do. Li Qingyao is listening. So he said: "In the past few years, I didn't want to date and I didn't meet the right person."
Cao Wanjun immediately said, "Of course, you are so handsome. Back then, there were so many girls chasing after you in high school."
Another man might have been complacent about this, but Chen Pu immediately fell silent.
Sure enough, Li Qingyao beside him smiled sarcastically: "Really? My boyfriend is so popular with women?"
Cao Wanjun felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said. But everyone has been through this, and he vaguely felt that Boss Chen's family status might be even lower than he thought. So he immediately tried to make amends: "Don't worry, sister-in-law. The eldest brother was very chaste at that time and didn't accept anyone. You were definitely his first love."
Chen Pu then spoke up and sneered, "What do you mean by absolute? It is what it is."
Li Qingyao showed just the right amount of surprise: "Really? We are all adults, why would I mind something that happened so long ago? Doesn't that girl count? Chen Pu, you mentioned that to me last time. At that time, you often went to see her. That girl I particularly liked, didn't you ever date?"
Chen Pu was stunned, thinking, when did I ever tell you about a girl I particularly like?
As a result, before he could react, Cao Wan's army was fooled. Cao Wanjun was indeed deeply impressed by that past event. After all, it was the only time that Chen Pu had a new understanding of love. He continued, "You mean the top student from the school next door, the one who was admitted to Peking University in her second year of high school? I remember now. At that time, my eldest brother often went to her school and copied her class schedule but only dared to look at her from a distance. He even asked his friends to bring her food but didn't dare to say it was his own. But at that time, my eldest brother had a crush on her and she was admitted before he could confess his feelings. Nothing happened at all. That doesn't count. We didn't talk about it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere at the table became even quieter.
Li Qingyao was satisfied and ate his food slowly and leisurely.
Chen Pu didn't know what to say. He added the largest crab to Li Qingyao without changing his expression and said softly, "Eat more." Then he looked up at Cao Wanjun and said, "If you can talk, please say less. Thank you."
Cao Wanjun then realized that his sister-in-law, whom he met for the first time, had actually cheated on him! The deception was open and aboveboard, and it was natural and smooth.
It’s really... too gloomy! He doubted whether Chen Pu, whose emotional experience was like a blank sheet of paper, could have any chance of winning over a woman like this.
Cao Wanjun laughed dryly: "Haha, we were all high school students at that time, impulsive and youthful, and we were just joking. The boss really didn't like that girl very much..." He suddenly realized that the more he talked, the more wrong he was. He simply retreated temporarily and stood up and said: "The guests over there seem to be in need. I have to go over there and will be back soon."
Cao Wanjun walked away, and Chen Pu immediately hugged Li Qingyao's shoulders tightly, leaned forward and whispered: "You are really amazing, you got all my high school background in just a few words. You don't really care, do you? I was only a teenager at that time, and I just had a little affection for him, not even love. If Cao Wanjun hadn't mentioned it today, I wouldn't have remembered this person. If you want to know anything in the future, just ask me directly and tell me everything truthfully. I am open and honest, and I am not afraid of questions."
Li Qingyao said slowly, "No, I think the first love in high school is the purest and most profound, and it will be unforgettable for a lifetime. I understand, don't explain, explanation is just covering up."
Chen Pu: ...
Depend on! How come after being the grandson for so long, he is still the one who is jealous?
However, Li Qingyao was just joking with him, and the two chatted and laughed for a while. Then Cao Wanjun came back with a bottle of white wine and two wine glasses in his hands. He wanted to pour it for Chen Pu, but Chen Pu blocked the cup seriously and said, "I have a mission these few days, so I can't drink."
Cao Wanjun had no choice but to drink by himself to comfort himself.
The two talked about many interesting things when they were in high school. Cao Wanjun was very good at taking care of other people's emotions, and Chen Pu was always careful not to neglect Li Qingyao, so even though Li Qingyao knew very little about their high school years, the three of them had a very happy chat.
Finally, Chen Pu looked at the time and said, "It's almost time for us to leave. That's all for today. My sister-in-law and I will treat you next time."
Cao Wanjun thought for a moment and said, "Let me ask you one more question. What mission are you carrying out? Can you tell me? I live in this area now and I know the place very well. I'm here to see if there's anything I can do to help."
Chen Pu and Li Qingyao exchanged glances. Chen Pu took out his phone and showed him pictures of Shang Ren and Luo Long: "Have you seen these two people?"
Cao Wanjun: "You asked the right person. I have really seen him! Do they live in those old buildings of the transportation company? They often pass by my place, but they have never come in to eat. The young man doesn't look like an ordinary person. I have an impression of him."
Chen Pu raised his eyebrows: "Where did they go out and what did they do?"
Cao Wanjun shook his head and pointed to an alley behind the street: "I don't know, they always go to the back."
After bidding farewell to Cao Wanjun, Chen Pu and Li Qingyao walked directly into the alley behind the main street, which was a narrow street and much quieter. There are residential buildings on both sides of the street, as well as many hotels, a small supermarket, a hardware store, several restaurants, and several Internet cafes.
Chen Pu took a quick look and said, "Let's go to the Internet cafe."
Li Qingyao's mind turned and he understood. Those two people have a place to live, so the only places they frequent among these stores could be Internet cafes.
