Chapter 288: Friends, Allies
Seriously, at this moment, Lorraine felt the urge to escape immediately.
Not because of anything else, just because, at this time, Kang Mengmeng was waving the pillow in his hand with his teeth and claws, screaming: "You dead Kang Shaojie!" You give me an explanation! How the hell did you and Lorraine meet?!! β¦β¦ Are you paying him again?! I hate you to death! From elementary school to middle school to college, you always had to buy my classmates around me and make them look at me, so that I don't have any friends now!! - If I had known that you had bought Lorraine, I would have killed you!! Yikes!! Wrong wrong!! It's killing you and Lorraine!! β
"Uh......"
Lorraine has three black lines in his head - he finally knows why Kang Shaojie didn't dare to take the initiative to find her sister, dare to love, Kang Shaojie still has such a disgraceful "history of bribery".
It seems that Kang Mengmeng "hates" her brother, there is still a certain reason, so that no one is willing to let the classmates and friends around her be bought by her brother, right? In that way, although everyone treats her well, she will also feel that all the smiling faces around her are hypocritical.
"Lorraine! My grandfather, you're finally back!! Tell Meng Meng, have you and I known each other for a long time?! β
At this time, Kang Mengmeng and Han Xuan also noticed the existence of Lorraine, and turned their heads sideways, looking at Lorraine, especially Kang Mengmeng, forcibly suppressing the temperament in their hearts, waiting for an answer.
Lorraine could only smile wryly and nodded: "Yes, we have known each other for a long time." Kang Mengmeng, you misunderstood your brother just now. β
"And where and when did you meet?!" Seeing Lorraine, Kang Mengmeng's attitude softened slightly, in fact, no one noticed that a hint of blush suddenly appeared on her face, but she still tried her best to maintain the tough attitude just now.
"Cafe!" "Tea House!"
Kang Shaojie and Lorraine answered tacitly at this time, but they said different locations without tacit understanding.
"Uh-"
"Yes, I remember wrong, it's a teahouse!" "Yes, I misremember, it's a cafΓ©!"
Again, the two replied.
"Uh-"
Kang Shaojie and Lorraine both shut up this time, and if they talk about it again, if they continue to talk about it, they may not know what they will say.
At this time, how could Han Xuan not see that Lorraine and Kang Shaojie had not discussed, seeing Lorraine's slightly embarrassing and cramped appearance, she wanted to laugh in her heart, and with a smile, she asked, "Did you meet in the teahouse or in the cafΓ©?" β
"We are ......" "We are ......"
The two of them spoke in unison again.
However, Lorraine was fortunately clever, and went up and put it on Kang Shaojie's shoulder, which seemed to be very close, but in fact, he pinched Kang Shaojie's shoulder fiercely, Kang Shaojie felt a burst of obvious pain in his shoulder, but he didn't dare to make a painful expression on his face, and tried his best to keep a smile Looking at Kang Mengmeng who was stunned and angry in front of him, but his smile was more ugly than crying.
Lorraine stepped forward and took over the conversation: "Actually, we were eating in a Chinese and Western restaurant, the coffee he ordered, and the Longjing I ordered, coincidentally, the waiter at the restaurant made the wrong drink for the two of us, so we met." β
"That's right! It's that simple! - Lorraine and I hit it off at first sight and have a lot in common! Kang Shaojie smiled when he heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and pressed Lorraine's shoulder with his backhand, wanting to avenge an arrow, and pinched it on Lorraine's shoulder.
The two of them were obviously very lame excuses at this time, which actually made Kang Mengmeng blink when she heard it, this innocent girl pouted her round pink and cute face, and the anger in her heart disappeared a lot, and she turned to Lorraine and asked: "Lorraine, my brother...... Ahem, is what Kang Shaojie said true? You didn't lie to me? β
As he spoke, Kang Mengmeng's big watery eyes were full of trust in Lorraine.
This made Lorraine a little unbearable to deceive this simple girl.
"Mengmeng, of course they didn't lie to you!" At this time, Han Xuan saw Lorraine's hesitation, and stepped forward to explain for Lorraine and Kang Shaojie, "Even if you don't believe your brother, don't you still believe Lorraine?" β
Now that's good.
Originally, Kang Mengmeng's EQ was very low, and Han Xuan also got involved to help speak, so that the simple girl suddenly lost all her judgment, coupled with her faint special feeling for Lorraine in her heart, she put down the "weapon" in her hand and muttered: "Hmph, that's right, Lorraine, this bad guy shouldn't lie to me." β
Kang Shaojie smiled at this time: "Look, Mengmeng, my brother has already said it, Lorraine and I have known each other for a long time." At this time, he looked smiling on the surface, but he was extremely sad in his heart, grandma's, what the world, his own old sister didn't believe in himself, but believed in others, it was too sad.
"Hmph, who admits that you are my brother, don't get close to me! - Well, I'm not going to drive you away, but it's for Lorraine's sake, don't be complacent! Kang Meng said arrogantly to Kang Shaojie.
Kang Shaojie smiled bitterly: "Yes, yes, yes." β
Lorraine stood aside, looking at the scene at this time, and couldn't help but smile. These brother and sister are really a pair of living treasures, to be honest, Lorraine has never seen Kang Shaojie show this appearance, how can this still have the heroic appearance of the outstanding business young man who is confident and wise in strategizing before!
"Lorraine, are you sure you didn't deliberately approach me to pursue Mengmeng?" Kang Shaojie turned his head at this time, still obsessed with this matter.
Lorraine rolled her eyes, and was almost about to give Kang Shaojie a disdainful middle finger: You are really special in the play!
At this time, he didn't notice that Kang Mengmeng on the side quietly blushed again.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
For dinner, it was Han Xuan who cooked, and what Lorraine didn't expect was that this little girl was very talented in cooking, and she made several dishes, and even showed signs of surpassing herself.
I really didn't see that this daughter, who has a slightly arrogant personality, still has a little potential to be a good wife and mother.
Tonight, Kang Shaojie finally fulfilled his wish to have dinner with his sister - to have a good meal without war.
After eating, Lorraine took Kang Shaojie to visit his bedroom - well, that sounded good.
Actually, they're just talking about something. Kang Shaojie knew that Lorraine asked him to come, and it was definitely not as simple as having a casual meal.
"The bedroom is very clean, not even discarded toilet paper." Kang Shaojie entered the door and teased with a smile.
Lorraine sneered: "I said, next time you encounter this matter, don't use me as a shield again, okay?" β
Kang Shaojie shrugged: "I don't dare to guarantee this." -- Let's get to the point. β
Smart people, speak smart words.
Obviously, Kang Shaojie is the best among the smart people.
Lorraine smiled, unwrapped a pack of gold-coated Yellow Crane Towers from the table, and then threw one to Kang Shaojie, and the two of them lit it separately.
Smoke rose slowly in the house, and Kang Shaojie was not in a hurry to ask, waiting for Lorraine to speak first.
"Kang Shaojie, haven't you always wondered what my background is?" Suddenly, Lorraine squinted at the gray smoke and said slowly.
Kang Shaojie still shrugged his shoulders: "I'm quite curious." ββThe Yellow Crane Tower in this package is very easy to smoke. Where did you buy it? β
"The capital has nothing to sell, this is what my father brought back abroad, this section of the Yellow Crane Tower, mainly used to export to make money from foreigners." Lorraine replied casually and continued, "Actually, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I'm a little worried that you're disappointed in my family's situation. ββDo you know about the Lowe's Group? It is a small consortium that has only settled in Yanjing from other places in recent years. β
"The Rocks?" Kang Shaojie couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Lorraine's words, "Are you talking about the Luo's group that took two years to barely gain a foothold after settling in the capital from other places, and it may return home at any time without achieving anything?" β
Damn, do you need to be so precise?
Lorraine smiled bitterly: "Although I don't want to admit it, this Luo's Group is indeed my parents' property." β
"You are really the heir of the Luo family of this Luo Group!" Seeing Lorraine's sure eyes and hearing his firm words, Kang Shaojie rolled his eyes, "I should have thought of it a long time ago!" Actually, I doubted it before, but ......"
"It's just, you don't want to believe that my background is only that simple, right?" Lorraine teased with a smirk.
Kang Shaojie spit out a puff of smoke and said frankly: "So to speak." β¦β¦ Lorraine, I just described your Luo's Group like that, please don't mind. Actually, your family is quite famous......" Speaking of this, Kang Shaojie smiled bitterly, "To put it mildly, it has taken two years since Luo's Group settled in Beijing and has not gained a foothold, so that some local group companies in Beijing have been ridiculed for a while. β
Lorraine felt quite uncomfortable when she heard this, but this was another reality that had to be admitted.
"Hehe, are you among these people?"
Kang Shaojie asked rhetorically: "Do I seem to be such a boring person?" Besides, I never underestimate anyone, I don't underestimate any company. You must know that even a small sparrow has a sound internal organs. β
"Thank you."
"There's nothing to thank you for, on the contrary, I want to thank you." Kang Shaojie smiled, "You confessed to me so much, aren't you worried that after I know your background, I will lose my expectations of you, and I won't treat you as a friend anymore?" β
Lorraine chuckled and asked, "Do you think I need to worry?" β
The smile on Kang Shaojie's face became brighter: "Obviously, you don't need it. As he spoke, he stepped forward and patted Lorraine on the shoulder, "I Kang Shaojie makes friends, one doesn't look at family background, two doesn't look at age, and three doesn't look at gender; All I care about is what I don't talk about, that's all. β
"I'll add one for you." Lorraine smiled playfully, "You still value what kind of value this new friend will create in the future, so as to achieve a mutually beneficial effect with you." Although this mind is not very good, it is not a bad thought, at least, you do not have the intention of harming others, on the contrary, you only need to identify someone, but it is quite righteous. β
When Kang Shaojie heard Lorraine's words, he turned his head to look at Lorraine's slightly smiling eyes, and after a long time, he finally laughed at himself: "Tsk, the feeling of being seen through is quite uncomfortable." β
