"yes, I know." I patted her hand, "Don't worry, I'm just talking in anger." ”

"Then I'll rest assured."

"You go back first, I'll go out for a walk."

"Then don't come back too late." Zhang's mother still looked uneasy.

"Hmm."

I drove around the ring road twice and didn't get off the ring until I calmed down. I wanted to go to the bar for a drink or two, but after thinking about it, my throat was not good, and if I ran into that person again, wouldn't it be asking for trouble.

So I turned around and went back to the old villa.

Zhang's mother sat in the living room and waited for me, and when she saw me back, she went to sleep with peace of mind. I was very touched.

Anyway, in this world, there are still people who care about me, and I have to live well for them, not to mention that I am still young.

Early the next morning, Lu Zhengnan called me and asked if my throat was better. I said that the throat lozenge he gave worked very well, and after eating a few pieces, my throat was much better this morning. He was delighted to hear and asked me if I could have dinner with him in the evening, and he wanted to introduce me to a friend. I relentlessly agreed.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, I deliberately dressed up, combed all my hair, made a princess bag, picked out a black silk dress and put it on, and took a look in front of the mirror, with an elegant and cold temperament, and then looked at the kiss marks at the root of the ears could not be seen clearly, and my mood was also comfortable.

When I went downstairs, my stepmother was on the TV in the living room, and when she saw that I was going out, she stood up from the sofa, "Tongtong, you want to go out?" ”

"Well," last night's unhappiness made me a little embarrassed to face her.

"That...... I'd like to talk to you for just ten minutes, okay? The stepmother asked politely.

What is she going to talk to me about?

"Yes," I walked over and sat down on the couch next to me.

My stepmother looked at me with a little bit of embarrassment.

"Auntie, if you have anything to say, just say it." I don't like to beat people around the corner.

The stepmother tugged at the corners of her mouth and smiled a little unnaturally, "Then I'll just say it," she sat down, "I know Xiaoyue is a bit headstrong sometimes, but she's an adult now, I hope you don't do anything to her in the future...... Something to say. ”

I sat and listened.

"Yesterday, you slapped ...... Her face was still swollen this morning, and I didn't let her go to work, she still had to go to work, and it would be bad if people saw it, no matter what, you were sisters. As the words fell, she looked at me.

"It's good to have a mother." I laughed self-deprecatingly, "Auntie, don't worry, as long as she doesn't touch my bottom line, I won't do anything to her." You know I'm not a casual person. ”

My stepmother looked at me and smiled reluctantly.

……

Coming out of the villa, I didn't drive, but took a taxi to the restaurant that Lu Zhengnan said, originally he said that he was going to come to pick me up, but here is still some distance from the city, and when he comes back after work, the road must be blocked, and it would be rude to let his friends wait for us, so I didn't let him pick me up.

On the way, I sent him a text message telling him that I would be there in about fifteen minutes, and he quickly came back and said that there was still more than half an hour before the agreed time, telling me not to worry.

By the time I got to the restaurant, he had arrived early.

"Hey, kid." As soon as Lu Zhengnan saw me, he stood up from his seat and waved at me. He was wearing exactly what he was wearing today, a dark blue striped shirt tucked into straight trousers, looking at the Yushu breeze from a distance, and gentle and elegant up close.

I walked over to him, and he was alone in his seat, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief that his friend hadn't arrived yet.

"When did you arrive," I asked with a smile.

Lu Zhengnan pulled the chair next to him for me, and replied with a smile: "I just arrived, and my friend may be a few minutes late." ”

I sat down, squinted, and said, "Is it a woman?" ”

He smiled, nodded, and said, "I'm still a celebrity, so it might be a little troublesome to go out." ”

"I don't know this friend of yours?" I know almost all of Lu Zhengnan's friends in Rongcheng, so is this not from Rongcheng?

"She is my roommate in the UK, and she is also the thread she has brought to Hengyuan Group this time." Lu Zhengnan said, turned around and asked the waiter for a glass of water, turned his head and asked me again, "Have you taken the medicine?" ”

"It's just a little cough now, it's fine." I've never liked to take medicine, and I don't want to take medicine when my cough gets better.

"You're always like this, and you don't take care of yourself at all." Lu Zhengnan said a little helplessly.

I wrinkled my nose at him, and he chuckled.

While sitting and waiting, Lu Zhengnan asked about Yatai's current situation, thinking that his father had mentioned Yatai's matter to him yesterday. I told him a little, and was about to remind him not to get involved in Yatai's affairs, but I listened......

"Hi, Zhengnan, I'm sorry we're late." The woman's hearty laughter came.

Lu Zhengnan and I looked up at the same time.

Belch...... If only I had invisibility.

Lu Zhengnan got up to greet him, "Hi Ouyang, Mr. Zou is also here." ”

"As soon as he heard that you were going to invite me to dinner, he had to come with him." Ouyang Xue's helpless tone was sweet, and when she turned her eyes, she saw me sitting on the side, and took off her sunglasses in surprise, "Wow, this is not ......"

"This is my girlfriend, Lin Tong." Lu Zhengnan replied with a smile and introduced to me: "Xiaotong, this is Ouyang Xue, my good friend. ”

"Oh my God, it turns out that Mr. Lin is your 'Mona Lisa', why didn't I see it a few days ago." Ouyang Xue stared at me in shock.

I was embarrassed to be stared at by her.

Lu Zhengnan smiled embarrassedly, looked at Zou Zichen, and was about to introduce when he was interrupted by Zou Zichen.

"No introduction, we know each other." Zou Zichen glanced at me coldly, as if I owed him millions. But he still didn't forget to behave as a gentleman in front of the beauties, pulled out a chair for Ouyang Xue, and asked her to sit opposite Lu Zhengnan, while he walked over from me and sat down. Then without looking at me, he picked up the menu on the table and flipped through it.

The last person I want to see at this time is Zou Zichen.

Coming into contact with Lu Zhengnan's puzzled gaze, I was a little unnatural, "That...... We know. "The nervous heart is about to jump out of the chest, and the palms of the hands are densely sweaty.

Lu Zhengnan suddenly realized, "I forgot, Yatai and Hengyuan are both big enterprises in Rongcheng, how can you not know each other." ”

"yes, we met at a cocktail party the other day. I didn't even recognize her. Ouyang Xue was still staring at me excitedly.

Lu Zhengnan turned his head to look at me, "You've all seen it." ”

I smiled stiffly and nodded.

"Hurry up and order, I'm dying of hunger." Zou Zichen didn't even raise his head, just flipped through the menu page by page, his face was cold.

Ouyang Xue glanced at him and said coquettishly, "You are really welcome." ”

Lu Zhengnan recruited a waiter.

Zou Zichen was anti-guest and ordered a lot of dishes.

When the waiter was about to leave, Lu Zhengnan stopped the waiter. Then he turned to me and asked, "Your throat is not good yet, I'll give you two more light ones." As he spoke, he said to the waiter, "Another mushroom soup and stir-fried kale." ”

After the waiter left.

Ouyang Xue supported her cheeks with both hands, looked at Lu Zhengnan and looked at me again, the one who laughed was ambiguous, and then smiled: "I call you Xiaotong, is it okay?" ”

"Absolutely."

"Xiao Tong," she smiled at the corner of her mouth, glanced at Lu Zhengnan again, and said with a smile: "You may not know that when you were in England, Zhengnan liked many girls." ”

"Yes," I turned my head and glanced at Lu Zhengnan, his eyes were full of tenderness.

"Is it better than me?" Zou Zichen suddenly interjected.

Ouyang Xue smiled and patted Zou Zichen, signaled him not to make trouble, turned back to me and said: "It turned out that the girl who was in the same room with me chased him for a year, and he was unmoved, at that time I thought he was a gay, and then we sneaked into his room and saw that the walls of his room were full of paintings of a girl, only to know that he already had someone in his heart." She paused for a moment, then smiled again: "He painted a lot of you, and one is the Mona Lisa...... He said you were his Mona Lisa. ”

"Ouyang, don't make fun of me." Lu Zhengnan's ears were slightly red, and he was a little embarrassed.

Ouyang Xue said with emotion: "I'm making fun of this, I envy you from the bottom of my heart, and you have such a strong feeling." ”

As soon as her words fell, I felt a cold gaze from the other side, I couldn't help lowering my eyes, picked up the cup of boiled water that Lu Zhengnan asked me for, and took a sip.

"Isn't Mr. Zou good enough for you?" Lu Zhengnan teased while laying out the tablecloth for me.

"He," Ouyang Xue turned her eyes and glanced at Zou Zichen, "without your intimacy." ”

Zou Zichen's fingers knocked on the table a little impatiently, "There are many things for women." ”

I stared at the glass.

Suddenly, my feet were trampled on, I raised my eyes in amazement, bumped into those black eyes, he glanced at me lightly, as if he was actually flipping through the menu, stepping on my feet but not moving.

My heart was pounding, what did he want to do with this bastard?

I gritted my teeth and retracted my feet.

"We women have a lot of things," Ouyang Xue protested to Zou Zichen, "It's nothing more than wanting to listen to some nice words, enjoy the privileges of your girlfriend, and have a shoulder to lean on when you're tired...... That's not too much, is it?"

"A fickle woman can never be satisfied." Zou Zichen said very disdainfully, as if he hated women.

Ouyang Xue was just about to refute.

The waiter happened to bring the dish and interrupted the topic.

During the meal, Zou Zichen didn't say a word, but only occasionally ordered food for Ouyang Xuejiao. And his small gesture made Ouyang Xue very happy.

Lu Zhengnan is very considerate to me, and if there is any spicy food in the dish, he will use hot water for me and put it on my plate.

I lowered my head and ate seriously, not daring to make eye contact with Zou Zichen again, and trying to let myself treat him as air.

"It's rare to get together today, let's find a place to have a drink after eating in a while." Ouyang Xue suddenly proposed.

"I'm not available."

"My throat can't do it."

Zou Zichen said at the same time as me.

I almost didn't bite my tongue when I looked at each other.

"What else do you have to do at night?" Ouyang Xue put down her chopsticks in disappointment, put one hand on his arm, and shook it, "Can't you accompany me...... I'm going back tomorrow. ”

I hung my head and felt his gaze sweep over my face.

"I was forcibly kissed by a woman at a bar some time ago, so I ......"
