Su Zhexuan followed Su Meng closely, and a tall figure appeared from the corner.
Before the other two people could speak, Su Meng hurriedly explained:
"This is my brother, cousin!"
Su Meng was as panicked as a rabbit with its ears lifted, and she didn't know what to do.
The word "cousin" blurted out, fearing that he would be misunderstood even if it was too late.
Then he turned around abruptly and introduced Jiang Ning to Su Zhexuan:
"He is my former colleague..."
Su Meng didn't say anything, so Jiang Ning extended her hand and introduced herself:
"Jiang Ning."
Su Zhexuan looked at Jiang Ning with some hostility. The man in front of him looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
At the corner is the small courtyard of Hongtai Building. It is remote and hidden. It is difficult to find this place unless you follow it deliberately.
"Su Zhexuan."
The two people's hands seemed to be holding each other's hands politely, but in fact they were secretly competing.
"Mengmeng, you wait for me in the box, I'll be right back."
"Okay, Brother Zhexuan, you're busy, don't be in a hurry."
Su Zhexuan left, and Su Meng and Jiang Ning were the only ones left in this quiet corner of Hongtai Building.
Su Meng tugged at the corner of her clothes uncomfortably, and thought for a long time before saying:
"Mr. Jiang, why are you here?"
"Have a meal."
"..."
Su Meng smiled awkwardly, it would be better not to ask, and ask people what they come to the restaurant for, what else can they do besides eating, you can't come to the hotel to take a shower!
"Well, I'll go there first, my brother is still waiting for me."
Jiang Ning lowered her head and glanced at Su Meng expressionlessly:
"What a coincidence, I'm hungry too."
"Haha, then go and eat quickly..."
Jiang Ning followed Su Meng's words and said "hmm", but she didn't see any intention of letting Su Meng leave.
Su Mengxian glanced at him several times and said politely:
"How about we eat something together?"
"good."
Jiang Ning didn't hesitate at all, and even rushed to take the photo. She quickly responded to Su Meng's invitation without giving her any chance to regret.
"..."
"lead the way."
"..."
Jiang Ning turned away and moved out of the way. Su Meng lowered her head and rushed forward blankly.
How should I explain it to Brother Zhexuan? After all, it is Brother Zhexuan who is treating me. It would not be good to bring a stranger over for no reason.
"Mr. Jiang, how about..."
"Call me Jiang Ning."
"Ah? Oh...Jiang Ning, how about I treat you to dinner another day?"
Su Meng couldn't help but glance at Jiang Ning, fearing that she might say the wrong thing and make him angry.
It would be embarrassing to think about taking Jiang Ning and her brother to eat together today.
"also."
Su Meng didn't expect Jiang Ning to be so easy to talk to, so she happily gave him a big, sincere smile, turned around and entered Hongtai Building.
Jiang Ning stood at the bottom of the stairs, watching closely as Su Meng entered box A03.
"Mr. Jiang."
Du Xuan quickly followed up, waiting for Jiang Ning's instructions.
"Are you hungry?"
Du Xuan was puzzled and lowered his head without daring to answer.
"Asking you, are you hungry?"
"It's... not bad."
Du Xuan was like a child who had done something wrong and was taken aside by Jiang Ningti to scold him.
"Why are you nervous? I'm just treating you to a meal. Go ask the boss. There are still a few tables that haven't been reserved. I'll book them."
Du Xuan received the order and immediately went to take care of the matter.
In the private room of a03, Su Meng sat at the table, shaking her feet and waiting leisurely for Su Zhexuan.
Thinking about it carefully, I haven't seen Su Zhexuan for several days. The last time I saw him was when he visited the graves at the beginning of the year. Su Zhexuan took leave and visited the graves of his parents specially.
In the days that followed, Su Zhexuan never returned home, or maybe he went back but didn't see him.
"You've been waiting for a long time, why don't you order first?"
Su Zhexuan gently opened the door and entered a03, asking softly.
"I can do whatever you want. You know, I'm somewhat of a phobia of choice."
Su Zhexuan smiled and took out his mobile phone, then scanned the QR code to order.
The first dish I ordered was braised pork ribs.
"It's okay to have a phobia of choosing when ordering food, but I'm just afraid of choosing a boyfriend..."
Su Zhexuan didn't finish his words, he just looked at Su Meng thoughtfully.
"That won't happen."
"So sure, maybe you already have someone in your heart? It shouldn't be the boy named Zhou from before, right?"
Su Meng stopped swaying on her feet and looked at Su Zhexuan in surprise.
"Don't look at me like that. You send letters to that guy named Zhou every once in a while. I just paid a little attention and naturally discovered it."
Su Meng curled her lips and muttered in a low voice:
"I didn't fall in love with him, and I just recognized him as the wrong person..."
"Wrong person? Then you are really awesome. So you like that kid who passed notes to you in high school?"
Su Meng paused while rinsing the dishes. She didn't expect that Su Zhexuan even knew this.
"It seems... I don't like it anymore, but I feel sorry for him... Oh, Brother Zhexuan! Can you stop discussing my emotional issues? This is privacy, okay? Besides, you are almost thirty, and you still
I haven’t found a girlfriend! What’s more worthy of discussion is your relationship, not mine!”
Su Meng was so angry that she spoke like a barrage of words without stopping.
"Not yet, we still need 200,000 yuan. Let's do it next year. It will be almost the year after tomorrow. Don't forget to introduce a good partner to your brother and me then!"
These words came out of Su Zhexuan's mouth in an understatement, as if he were discussing twenty yuan, but it made Su Meng feel sour.
"Brother Zhexuan, this money is originally owed by my family to my uncle and aunt... You have no obligation and no reason to help me pay it back..."
Su Zhexuan put his cell phone aside casually after ordering, and solemnly ordered:
"I've told you a long time ago that I do this out of selfish motives. You don't need to take it to heart at all. All you have to do is live happily. If the sky falls, your brother will hold me up."
Su Meng still remembers the year when she came of age. Others received acceptance letters, but Su Meng received a heavy-duty IOU.
That day, Qian Shuangyue spoke earnestly and kindly to comfort her, saying that her family simply could not afford for a third person to go to college, and besides, her father's creditors kept putting pressure on her uncles and aunts.
"We have repaid a lot of debts for you, cute girl, if you have any conscience, you have to get off school and repay your parents' debts! Only in this way can our family live a better life!
Su Meng stared at her artistic scores, which were neither high nor low, and her cultural scores, which were barely above the line, and resolutely gave up college.
She didn't know how she survived those days and nights. She only slept three or four hours a day, working day and night, straining her body.
Fortunately, in the past two years, Su Zhexuan helped him and gave Su Meng a chance to breathe.
Su Meng's eyes turned slightly red, and she swallowed hard and said:
"elder brother……"
Before tears came out, the tissue was handed to Su Meng.
"I told you, I have selfish motives, please stop crying."
"Brother, your selfish intention is not me, right? We are close relatives and cannot get married."
Su Meng said this with a tearful voice, making Su Zhexuan dumbfounded.
"...What's going on in your head? Are all of you artists prone to mental problems? If so, you'd better stop painting!"
Su Meng shed tears and retorted:
"That's not okay!"
[Dong dong dong]
There was a knock on the box door, and the ajar door was pushed open.
Su Meng thought it was the waiter who was serving the food, but she also muttered that this Hongtai Building is indeed a grand hotel. Is the waiter so handsome and tall?
She quickly wiped away the tears in her eyes and prepared to feast her eyes on it.
The figure of the "waiter" became clearer and clearer, followed by his heartbeat speeding up and his face turning red.
"Sorry, can we share a table?"
Su Zhexuan put away his smile, glanced at Su Meng's loss of composure again, and said coldly:
"There are so many seats downstairs, why does Mr. Jiang insist on entering our box?"
"Downstairs? I feel strange too. The boss said that all the seats downstairs have been reserved. I am also very hungry. I wonder, 'little teacher,' wouldn't it be convenient for you to let me have a meal?"
Su Zhexuan obviously didn't believe it. He had worked in Hongtai Building for so many years, and this was not a holiday, so how could he not have a place?
At this moment, Su Meng's mind was filled with blood. How could she always have so many thoughts about Jiang Ning's body? Even if she was confused and couldn't see clearly, she could still think about it?
Su Zhexuan and Su Meng both stood up at the same time, one went out to confirm their position, and the other subconsciously gave up their position to Jiang Ning.
"I'll come as soon as I go, you sit with me."
Before Su Zhexuan left, he did not forget to tell Su Meng, for fear that Jiang Ning would do something inappropriate.
Su Meng lowered her head, like a little rabbit that was being slaughtered, with a red face and red eyes, and she walked blankly to sit next to Su Zhexuan.
Jiang Ning didn't say anything. She stood up and took out another pair of bowls and chopsticks from the cabinet. After carefully ironing them, she handed them to Su Meng.
Su Meng pursed her lips and secretly watched Jiang Ning's series of actions.
There was something wrong. He should have given himself the bowls and chopsticks in front of him instead of ironing a new set.
If he used the set of bowls and chopsticks that Jiang Ning had ironed, wouldn't he have to use his own?
Forget the bowls and chopsticks, I haven't used them yet, but I have taken several sips of the water in the teacup...
As if she had guessed Su Meng's thoughts, Jiang Ning filled the teacup with water and handed it to Su Meng.
"Thanks……"
The atmosphere around her was very awkward. Su Meng felt that Su Zhexuan's trip seemed like he was in trouble. Why did it take so long?
Jiang Ning didn't look like she was in a hurry. She poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "Good tea."
There were only two of them in the empty box. What Jiang Ning said made Su Meng think about it for a long time.
Who was he speaking to? Was Jiang Ning speaking to herself, or was she speaking specifically to herself?
Su Meng lowered her head and repeatedly licked her fingernails, hesitating whether to respond.
【squeak】
The door was opened again, and Su Zhexuan's face was a little gloomy.
Su Meng seemed to have caught a savior and asked quickly:
"How about it?"
"There's no room left."
Jiang Ning didn't speak, but was waiting for someone to speak.
When Su Meng heard Su Zhexuan's reply, she felt a little happy in her heart.
Even though she was very reserved and uncomfortable eating with Jiang Ning, she still expected him to stay.
Su Meng spoke in a low voice:
"If you don't mind it..."
"I am very honored."
Jiang Ning rushed to answer again. This chapter has been completed!
