Song Mingyuan picked up the cup in front of him, poured two sips of cold boiled water, took out his mobile phone from his pocket and prepared to call Qiao Ruoqing.

In the call record, more than a dozen calls he made recently were all made to Qiao Ruoqing, but none of them were connected without exception.

If the phone call doesn't get through, then he won't call and won't wait.

Even if there is no Qiao Ruoqing, the Song family will not be able to survive, since this is the case, then why should he suffer such grievances?

Song Mingyuan felt that there was no such reason at all!

He tapped his finger on the phone screen, and just as he was about to make a call, the dining chair opposite was pulled away, and an off-white figure sat down in front of him.

looked up and saw that it was Qiao Ruoqing.

"Joe......"

Song Mingyuan waited for so long, even though Qiao Ruoqing was here now, he still wanted to get angry.

But the mouth had just opened, and he couldn't even call out the other party's name completely, so Qiao Ruoqing spoke, "Sorry, there was a temporary delay, so it's late, don't you mind?" ”

Song Mingyuan tugged at the corners of his mouth.

Don't mind? How could it not be mind?

He also has a head and face in Jiangcheng, and he actually waited here for nearly half an hour!

But since Qiao Ruoqing had already come, he didn't want to pursue it anymore.

I have to beg Qiao Ruoqing to do something!

After drinking two more sips of cold water, Song Mingyuan pressed all the fire back into his stomach, and then he opened his mouth: "I have just arrived." ”

He said this to save his respect.

I waited so long, and I couldn't let the other party see the joke.

Otherwise, Qiao Ruoqing might think, look at you, I'm half an hour late, and you've been waiting for me here!

Song Mingyuan didn't want to be thought of like this by others.

But who knows, as soon as his words landed, Qiao Ruoqing smiled, "So that's the case, I thought you really arrived at seven o'clock." Actually, I don't have a certain time to get off work, and I often have temporary things like this, and it's unlikely that I will be able to get to this place at seven o'clock. ”

Song Mingyuan's eyes widened.

You can't get to seven o'clock, what are you telling me about seven o'clock?

"I was still thinking, if you have been waiting for me, then how embarrassed I am, but you have just arrived, wouldn't that be just right?" Qiao Ruoqing smiled happily, and beckoned the waiter to bring the menu over while laughing.

Song Mingyuan laughed twice with him, and turned his eyes away from Qiao Ruoqing.

No matter how he looked at it, he felt that Qiao Ruoqing did it on purpose.

"I've called you, but I haven't been able to get through." Song Mingyuan's voice was extremely low, although he was already very forbearing, it was still not difficult to be heard by others.

"Really?" Qiao Ruoqing looked at the menu and replied very carelessly, "It may be that my phone is out of battery, or it may be that the signal is not good." ”

Song Mingyuan pursed his lips tightly and didn't speak.

Possible? Out of power? Bad signal?

Is Qiao Ruoqing treating him as a fool?

Over there, Qiao Ruoqing had already ordered the dishes, returned the menu to the waiter, and looked at Song Mingyuan, "Have you ordered?" ”

"Nope." encountered such a bad thing, how could Song Mingyuan still have the heart to order food? "What do you eat? I'll just be like you. ”

Qiao Ruoqing then reached out and took back the menu in the waiter's hand, "In that case, then I'll order another one, anyway, I don't like the one just now." ”

As he spoke, he raised his eyes and glanced at the waiter, "I'll give Mr. Song the share just now." ”

"......" Song Mingyuan almost squirted out of the water he had just drunk into his mouth.

Qiao Ruoqing: What does this mean? Give him what she doesn't like?

"Qiao Ruoqing ......"

Qiao Ruoqing didn't pay attention to him at all, and ordered a meal with the waiter neatly, "That's all, add a bottle of Muse dry red, thank you." ”

After the waiter walked away, she turned her head to look at Song Mingyuan, "You just called me?" ”

"I ......" If it weren't for the fact that this is a Western restaurant, surrounded by well-behaved people, and the environment is also very quiet, Song Mingyuan really wanted to scold directly.

How do you look at today's wave of operations, how wrong is it, does Qiao Ruoqing really want to fall into the trap for him?

When did she get so bored?

After taking two breaths, Song Mingyuan suppressed his anger back, and then asked, "What is the matter with you looking for me today?" ”

"It's okay." Qiao Ruoqing shrugged her shoulders with an innocent expression, "Didn't I say it on the phone?" We know each other, and I am very sympathetic to the situation of the Song family now, so I want to have a meal with you. ”

Song Mingyuan's hand on the edge of the table shook it vigorously. Reading the Book House

Qiao Ruoqing's words are obviously deliberately angry with him, right?

Song Mingyuan felt that if he stayed with Qiao Ruoqing for a while, he would definitely be angry to death! It's better to go straight in.

"I wasn't right last time, I shouldn't have told you those things." Song Ming didn't look at Qiao Ruoqing, his voice was hard, like molten iron, "My mother has scolded me in the future, can that incident pass?" ”

Qiao Ruoqing blinked in surprise, "That thing?" Which thing? Why am I not at all impressed? ”

Of course, it is impossible for Song Mingyuan to directly say, "I drugged you last time, and said that Huo Jingyuan was just a joke to you", such a statement is undoubtedly suicide.

After hesitating for a moment, Song Mingyuan decided to skip the topic, "By the way, you know all about the Song family, right?" ”

"Let's not talk about that. I mean, haven't you been with Mr. Huo recently? Since this is the case, it shouldn't be difficult for you to say two good words for the Song family in front of Mr. Huo, right? ”

Qiao Ruoqing had just brought the cup to her lips and was about to drink water, when she heard Song Mingyuan's words, her movements immediately stopped.

Lifting her eyelids and looking, Qiao Ruoqing found that Song Mingyuan's face was actually full of words.

Moreover, what do you mean by "being with Huo Jingyuan recently"? Could it be that Song Mingyuan meant that the time they had been together was only so short, and they would be separated not long after?

It seems that her idea is right, Song Mingyuan is a person like her, she should be angry with him.

After taking a sip of water, Qiao Ruoqing put the cup back on the table, "Song Mingyuan, you may be mistaken, I just came to eat with you today, I don't mean anything else, as for the Song family's affairs, I can't help." ”

"How could you not help?" Song Mingyuan was a little anxious, and even his back left the back of the chair, "Aren't you Huo Jingyuan's girlfriend?" That ......"

"You also know that I am Jing Yuan's girlfriend, you have a conflict in business, and you still ask me to persuade my boyfriend to be merciful to your subordinates?" Qiao Ruoqing sneered, "What do you think?!" ”

Song Mingyuan opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

Because he found that Qiao Ruoqing's words seemed to make sense.

But what's not to do?

"Didn't you say we knew each other? And even for the sake of my grandfather's face......"

"If it weren't for Grandpa Song, do you think you would still be able to sit here and eat with me now? Do you think the Song clan can still exist in Jiangcheng? Qiao Ruoqing also lost her patience, and the smile on her face gradually faded.

Song Mingyuan's eyebrows furrowed, "Qiao Ruoqing......"

"Song Mingyuan, I really want to have a meal with you when I asked you out, don't be too aggressive." Seeing the waiter coming over with a tray, Qiao Ruoqing continued: "Let's eat, don't talk about anything else." ”

As the waiter put down the tray, Qiao Ruoqing spoke up again: "But if you want to leave now, it's okay, after all, I know what the situation of the Song family has been recently, and I won't look down on you because of the bill." ”

Song Mingyuan really wanted to leave.

But when he heard Qiao Ruoqing's words, he couldn't go.

If he leaves now, won't he admit that he can't even afford to eat a meal here?

Next, the two barely communicated.

Song Mingyuan thought several times, anyway, they were already here, otherwise they would be cheeky and fight for it again, and talk to Qiao Ruoqing softly, maybe Qiao Ruoqing would be soft-hearted and help him?

But every time he just opened his mouth, Qiao Ruoqing either called the waiter or looked at his phone, completely ignoring him.

Even if he finished his words despite his embarrassment, Qiao Ruoqing could ignore him as if he hadn't heard anything.

So, Song Mingyuan was very depressed at this meal.

When checking out, Qiao Ruoqing called the waiter, and just about to put his hand into his bag, Song Mingyuan had already handed over his card.

He didn't really want to pay, but the way the waiter looked at him just now really made him feel uncomfortable.

But also, he is a man, and he goes out to eat with a woman, and if he has to pay for it, it is really not true.

Last time in the mall, he had been flattened by Qiao Ruoqing once, and this time he couldn't lose this face again.

Isn't it just a few thousand dollars for a meal? It's not like he can't afford to eat.

"Song Shao, so generous?" Qiao Ruoqing blocked his card back and handed his card to the waiter, "Swipe me, the Song family's recent situation is not good, Song Shao should not break the bank." ”

The waiter glanced at Song Mingyuan with complicated eyes, but he didn't say anything, turned around and left.

Song Mingyuan's eyebrows jumped, "Qiao Ruoqing, did you do it on purpose?" ”

"What did I do on purpose?" Qiao Ruoqing had a smug smile on her face, "I saw that you were too nervous, so I just invited you to a meal, and ......"

Her eyelids lifted, and she looked very happy, "I heard that when Chen Yali bought the land in the neighboring city, you and Cai Meixian also invested, right?" ”

Song Mingyuan's face sank.

How did Qiao Ruoqing know about this?

And, look at her like this......

"I know, it's not like you can't afford this meal, it's just that it's hard to say after a while. You may not take the current few thousand dollars seriously, and then it may be your lifeline. ”

After the waiter finished settling the account, he came back and handed her Qiao Ruoqing's card and bill with both hands, Qiao Ruoqing took cash from her bag and gave it to the waiter as a tip, and then looked at Song Mingyuan again.
