"I thought you asked me to dinner just for a chat, but didn't expect our big star to come and fulfill his promise so quickly?"
Meng Li hadn't seen Shen Tingci for a long time, and now that he had seen her, he felt that no matter how much he saw her, it was not enough.
Shen Tingci smiled and said: "I have already said that if I want to treat your benefactor to dinner, of course I can't just talk about it."
Although he knew that Shen Tingci said these things just as polite words, Meng Li only felt happy when he heard them.
Even if he knew that he was being coaxed, he was rarely happy.
Meng Li smiled like a peacock.
"Why haven't I seen any announcements from you recently?"
"There are too many things that have happened recently, so I want to take a break. Besides, it will be annoying if it appears often."
Meng Li knew what Shen Tingci was talking about.
It was nothing more than something caused by Qi Huai and the two rich second generations.
It is obvious that the victim is Shen Tingci, but the public blames her as the victim a lot, while the voices falling on other people are much quieter.
Meng Li really didn't want to mention such an unlucky thing. He rang the bell to let the waiter come in to take the order, and said: "Yes, it's not good for you to be too popular recently. It can easily make people jealous, so it's better to keep a low profile."
"I heard that you have signed a contract with Shan Yu, right?"
"The contract hasn't been signed yet. After all, the contract here hasn't ended yet." Shen Tingci said, "But the conditions have been negotiated. I have to thank Mr. Meng for handling this matter for me."
"I don't have such a big reputation. If it weren't for your own excellence, Shan Yu wouldn't be willing to spend the money. He -" Meng Li smiled and shook his head, "Zhou Bapi."
Shen Tingci smiled condescendingly and said with crooked eyebrows: "I heard that Mr. Meng and Mr. Shan are growing up?"
"Forget it." Meng Li thought for a moment, nodded and said, "However, Pei Langhua and the others are too old. I usually don't like to play with them."
"Are you talking bad about me again?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shan Yu followed the waiter and opened the door. He was wearing a silver suit today, which made him look high-spirited and even more youthful.
"Mr. Shan." Shen Tingci stood up, "Are you there too?"
"What? You are allowed to come here but not me?" Shan Yu clicked his tongue and said, "How can you be so overbearing?"
"Don't bully others!" Meng Li said indifferently, "Tingci is not your brilliant artist now."
Shan Yu smiled angrily: "Sooner or later."
"Meng Li, when Shen Tingci signs the contract with Bright, there will be times when you beg me."
"Okay, I won't disturb your date." Shan Yu adjusted his position by tugging on his tie, "Pei Langhua and I are having dinner next door. If you want to come over later, you can come over."
After saying that, Shan Yu and Shen Tingci simply nodded and turned around and left the private room.
He had just taken a few steps and the door had not been completely closed.
Meng Yang's voice came: "Who did you just say hello?"
"Your brother and my artist, Shen Tingci." Shan Yu said, "Ayang, do you want to meet your future siblings?"
"Who?" Jiang Yunxi's voice suddenly sounded.
Shan Yu's voice suddenly became serious: "Meng Li and Shen Tingci."
Shen Tingci and Meng Li could no longer hear what the people behind them were saying.
Shen Tingci turned around and saw Meng Li sitting there in a daze.
"Shen Yunxi is next door, why don't you come over?" Shen Tingci took the initiative to set up a step for him.
Meng Li suddenly stood up and looked at Shen Tingci awkwardly.
This is when Shen Tingci saw such a confused look on Meng Li's face.
She smiled softly, with indescribable tenderness in her words: "I heard that Shen Yunxi rarely returns to the Imperial Capital once. Why don't you go and see her?"
"If you miss this opportunity, you may not have it again in the future."
"But today..."
"You can eat anytime," Shen Tingci said, "But if you want to miss Shen Yunxi, you may not know when the next time will be."
Hearing this, Meng Li did not hesitate. He hurriedly said sorry, grabbed his clothes and rushed out.
It doesn't matter whether the waiter is holding the tablet and handing it over, or not handing it over.
Shen Tingci smiled and stretched out her hand to the waiter: "Give it to me, I'll take the order."
"good."
After the waiter handed the tablet over, she looked at Shen Tingci's quiet and beautiful profile, and couldn't help feeling a little distressed: "Miss Shen, won't you feel bad if you push Mr. Meng over?"
"They're just friends, there's nothing to be sad about."
Moreover, she is also used to being given up and being everyone's second choice.
No matter who it is.
"That's all, thank you."
When Shen Tingci returned the tablet, she happened to receive a text message from Jiang Yunxi.
【Yunxi】: Ci Ci, come here.
[Shen Tingci]: It’s very tiring to eat with them! Sister, I want to eat by myself!
[Shen Tingci]: It must take a long time for you to eat. I also want to go shopping and buy something later!
[Shen Tingci]: Sister, I have taken a fancy to a set of furniture. I will go buy it after dinner and take photos for you! Let’s use couple’s furniture, okay?
Jiang Yunxi felt Shen Tingci's resistance to eating with them, so she didn't force it.
[Yunxi]: Well, remember to swipe your sister’s card.
【Shen Tingci】:okkk~
"Yun Xi, who are you messaging?" Pei Langhua used serving chopsticks to pick up the food for her, and then pretended to be casual and said, "The food is almost cold."
"My sister."
They have known Jiang Yunxi for a long time, and they have never heard her say that she has a younger sister.
Just when Pei Langhua was about to continue to inquire, Jiang Yunxi suddenly said: "I have to go back to the research institute in a while, so I won't go drinking with you."
"Okay, I'll take you back later."
Jiang Yunxi didn't say yes, but it was still not good, but it was obvious that Pei Langhua also acquiesced in Jiang Yunxi's agreement to his request.
Meng Li clenched the chopsticks in his hand with a sad expression.
Although he came over to have dinner with Jiang Yunxi as he wished, Meng Li felt as if he had been uneasy all the time. He was worried about Shen Tingci.
After eating, Pei Langhua took Jiang Yunxi away as he wished.
In order to take Jiang Yunxi out for dinner today, he specially drove the big cow he bought and kept it in the garage to gather dust.
After all, in order to create his stable CEO persona, he basically never drives these overly ostentatious sports cars.
Today I specially drove my car here just to have dinner with Jiang Yunxi.
When Jiang Yunxi saw the car, her eyes lit up: "Your car is pretty good."
Before Pei Langhua could say a word or two, Jiang Yunxi said, "My sister also likes these sports cars. If you have time later, can you accompany me to order one?"
"Of course!" Pei Langhua was really curious about who Jiang Yunxi's sister was. He was about to make some insinuations, but as soon as he got in the car, Jiang Yunxi received a call from his mentor, and now he had no time to talk to him.
Pei Langhua could only hold his breath and send the person to the entrance of the research institute.
"Thank you for today."
"You're welcome." Pei Langhua got out of the car with a gentle smile and walked Jiang Yunxi to the entrance of the research institute. Just when he was about to put the big-tailed wolf in his arms, he saw someone coming out of the heavily guarded research institute.
The tall figure was stretched a bit by the light.
That skin is even more superior, especially the pair of fox eyes, which are now covered by glasses, cutting off a bit of coldness and adding a bit of bookish gentleness.
The moment they saw him, not only Pei Langhua, but also Jiang Yunxi frowned.
Obviously, the former is guilty and the latter is upset.
"A Ci." Pei Langhua felt somewhat guilty after being caught by the real owner trying to pry into the corner, and moreover, he was being pried into the corner by his good brother. He called out to stop the people who were in a hurry, "Yun Xi and I are eating.
, so I just sent her back."
Hearing Pei Langhua's words, Jiang Yunxi frowned even deeper.
Even Song Yanci looked at Pei Langhua with a puzzled expression, not quite sure what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd.
However, the awkward atmosphere was quickly broken.
A beam of light came from a distance.
Then a black business-type car stopped in front of Song Yanci. After he hurriedly got in the car, he pressed down the window and said to Pei Langhua, "I have something to do. Let's go first."
Jiang Yunxi sneered and raised the corners of his mouth, but did not speak.
Pei Langhua quickly looked away from him: "Aren't you going in?"
"Well, thank you very much for today."
After saying that, Jiang Yunxi hurried into the research institute.
Pei Langhua was not in a hurry to leave. He looked up at the heavily guarded research institute with sentries standing guard.
After a while, he couldn't help but smile slightly.
So what if they are brothers?
He doesn’t know how to cherish it, so shouldn’t he be allowed to cherish it?
