Chapter 16: Bad News (Added 9)
In the end, Ye Ying Ning still persuaded Zhou Yang to go to see Fu Jinliang alone.
The reason she gave was that this time it was the other party who invited her, and it seemed too rude to temporarily bring one more person there without prior discussion. Moreover, if it is really as he said, Fu Jinliang really approached him for another purpose, then Zhou Yang went with him, but it seemed to make a big fuss, which made the other party suspicious early.
Such a statement is not unreasonable, Zhou Yang hesitated and agreed to her going to Fu Jinliang's date alone.
In fact, Ye Ying Ning also knew that even if what was waiting for her in front of her was really a trap, but she had to send it when the arrow was ready, and she had no reason to avoid Fu Jinliang. Besides, no matter how you look at it, the other party owes her a big favor, and after thinking about it, she shouldn't do anything excessive.
However, out of the sensitivity of women, she always has a trace of mustard in her heart for Fu Jinliang, and for some reason, she lingers.
It's a strange feeling, it's hard to say, it's like a natural appreciation and an innate hostility, go hand in hand.
"You go by car, so there's an excuse not to drink. β
Zhou Yang specially helped her check the car, and then gave her the key, since the last miscarriage of Ye Lan'an, Ye Ying Ning no longer dared to drive the car she sent, for fear of being secretly manipulated, so she simply sent it directly to the garage to fall into the dust.
She drove through most of Zhonghai City and rushed to the top floor of the shopping mall selected by Fu Jinliang.
The city is growing as fast as a colony, high in the air, underground, and all the space that can be used to earn money is being used properly. Enjoying afternoon tea time at the height of more than 20 floors may not be very pleasant, but it must require money and leisure to do it.
As soon as Yeying Ning stepped into the restaurant on the top floor, she was directly taken by the waiter to the private room that was slightly inside, and Fu Jinliang had already arrived first, looking down at the menu.
"Miss Night. β
Fu Jinliang greeted with a smile, she probably didn't arrange work today, so she was dressed very casually: a floral dress with exaggerated colors, lined with wheat-colored skin with a more sunny color, a string of white decorative necklaces hanging from her collarbone, a bright touch of fluorescent pink on her lips, and the whole person seemed to be a small jumping note, with a cheerful "didadi".
Night Infant Ning smiled in return and sat down across from her. After eating together at "Ningmeng" last time, the two found that each other's tastes were more compatible, so this time, she and Fu Jinliang coincidentally ordered food together first, and they were not in a hurry to talk about business.
It wasn't until the appetizer was served that Fu Jinliang took out a small box from his handbag and gently pushed it in front of Ye Ying Ning.
"I was supposed to return it to you directly, but the necklace was worth a lot, and I really didn't feel comfortable carrying it with me, so I saved it in the safe. I have found someone to do the identification and notarization before depositing, and there is absolutely no dropping, haluha!"
Before she could finish speaking, she had already covered her mouth and chuckled.
Night Infant Ning also laughed, slowly took the box containing the key to the safe, rubbed it between her fingers, and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Miss Fu is really joking with me when she says this." Everyone often attends banquets, and what they are most afraid of is that there will be any accidents temporarily, what dresses are broken, jewelry is broken, shoes do not fit or something, any one of them is enough for a headache. β
With that, she picked up the cup and took a shallow sip of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice.
Ye Ying Ning's original intention of saying these words was just to be polite with Fu Jinliang, but unexpectedly, Fu Jinliang's mind suddenly changed after hearing it, as if he suddenly remembered something. She played with the straw in her hand and said quietly: "Who says it's not? You see, it's just an ordinary accident, such as a torn dress, which has been making headlines for days." Regardless of whether it is red or black, at least it occupies the topic list first, and at this point, no matter how many celebrities and young models can't grab it. β
This remark obviously turned the topic to Tang Miao, the last red carpet dew incident.
Listening to Fu Jinliang's bright sigh and secret sarcasm, Ye Ying Ning couldn't help but be slightly stunned - because in her opinion, Fu Jinliang had almost cultivated to the point of being exquisite, similar to a demon, and would never make such a simple mistake easily, and she didn't have any need to step on Tang Miao to praise herself.
For a while, she didn't know how to respond.
As if seeing Ye Yingning's hesitation, Fu Jinliang smiled and simply confessed: "Miss Night, actually, we don't have to worry too much about chatting in private. I think that if I can talk to you, I will naturally say a few more words, and if it is someone else, I am afraid that I will be arrogant and indifferent, and it is difficult to get in touch. β
Afraid that she would think too much, Ye Ying Ning also hurriedly explained that she definitely did not mean to be estranged, but she was worried about the identities of the two people for a while, and when the competition was currently underway, after all, it was embarrassing and easy to be criticized.
"When it comes to personal relationships, heh, the most feared thing is to meet someone who doesn't know the depths. β
Fu Jinliang took the fork and poked the boiled cauliflower on her plate, she was very picky about eating, she didn't want anything too tender or too old, and specially told the chef to cut out the cross flower at the rhizome, so that it would taste good.
"I asked you out this time, and there is one more thing. Although I don't have any definite evidence, and I don't know if you have any previous holidays, I vaguely heard the news, as if Tang Miao was quite hostile to you, and proudly said that he would bring you down. The semi-finals are just around the corner, so keep an eye out for them. β
After speaking, Fu Jinliang smiled at Ye Ying Ning, lowered his head and concentrated on eating the selection package he ordered.
However, her words made Ye Ying Ning lose any appetite almost instantly.
The two hands placed under the table unconsciously clenched into fists, if she didn't guess wrong, the lost design must have been transferred to Tang Miao's hands, so she dared to be so fearless, and even leaked the news.
What the other party will do, the night baby would rather not know, but holding her design is equivalent to holding her hole cards. She didn't know how to prepare the other party's work, but they studied her design clearly and clearly.
It is completely too late to make last-minute changes, and it is even more unwise to enter the competition with works that have been hastily designed.
She was lucky for a while, but now Fu Jinliang seems to have given her a definite answer, how can she not let her hands and feet be cold and her scalp numb.
Unlike Ye Ying Ning's calm surface and the ups and downs in his heart, Fu Jinliang, who was sitting opposite, seemed to have a good appetite, eating from the appetizer to the main course, and even eating the dessert at all, which was very satisfying.
"I can't eat anymore, I can't eat anymore, the size of the wedding dress has to be changed, and the designer has to chase me and scold me. β
She put down her knife and fork, wiped her mouth elegantly, and when she smiled, her eyes were bent into a crescent shape, as if she was a few years younger than her actual age, far from the usual image of a strong woman.
Ye Ying Ning barely maintained a smile, at this moment, all her attention was restrained by Tang Miao, but she had to continue to greet Fu Jinliang.
"Oh, is the wedding date finalized?"
She blinked, and the hidden uneasiness was turbulent again, which shocked her heart palpitations, and she couldn't help but blurt out: "I don't know who Miss Fu's fiancΓ© is......"
Fu Jinliang nodded, and was about to answer, when the mobile phone she put on the table suddenly rang, interrupting the conversation between the two women.
