Chapter 12: Old Friends Only
Xu Jiangcheng looked at her departing back and wanted to say something to stay, but found that he didn't even have a reason, so he could only watch her walk towards others.
Her back is obviously much lonelier than before.
Xu Jiangcheng looked at her with some distress, but he couldn't do anything.
Wen Ning walked calmly to Zhou Zhe's side, she knew that Zhao Jiayue must be in a mess now, and what she wanted was that.
She was bad for her at the beginning, and there was no reason for her to make her better.
Wen Ning's hands clenched into fists silently, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
Walking to the box, Wen Ning politely let Zhou Zhe in first, and then there was a wordless silence.
She knew that when she saw Zhao Jiayue and Xu Jiangcheng, she was not happy, and Zhou Zhe was not necessarily better.
The dishes have already been set on the table, steaming, but they can't iron Wen Ning's heart.
"How do you know them?" Zhou Zhe hesitated for a long time before he dared to ask Wen Ning.
His eyes dodged, and his tone of voice was a little eager, completely lacking his usual indifference.
Wen Ning looked at him with some amusement, it seemed that he really missed Zhao Jiayue.
"It's just an old friend, recalling the old days." Wen Ning said without blushing and without a heartbeat, after saying that, she herself was a little sour, when they were in her mouth, they had become old friends.
When Zhou Zhe heard this, his face changed slightly, but he didn't say anything, just sighed.
He thought he had forgotten for a long time, but when he actually saw her again, he realized that he had never forgotten her at all.
The hand holding the cup tightened unconsciously, and he took a deep breath to calm his emotions.
You can't reveal your weakness in front of outsiders without defense.
Wen Ning looked at Zhou Zhe with a vague look out of her eyes, she wanted to see what his reaction was, and what kind of mood he was in when she saw another man next to Zhao Jiayue.
She lowered her eyes, mocking herself inwardly at when she had become so naΓ―ve.
But it seems that as soon as it involves his affairs, she will become overwhelmed and lose her mind.
Wen Ning frowned a little irritably, then put on a gentle smiling face, and said to Zhou Zhe: "Doctor Zhou, the things here are very delicious, don't you want to taste them?" β
Zhou Zhe didn't speak, but picked up the chopsticks, put some food in his mouth, and then said briskly: "It's really delicious." β
Wen Ning suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, which could be regarded as alleviating the embarrassing atmosphere a lot, otherwise, she really didn't know how to deal with the wordless scene.
She looked at him with a smile, her eyes full of innocence: "Yes, believe me, I have been coming to this restaurant a lot five years ago." β
Unconsciously mentioned that five years ago, her hands also stiffened, five years ago, she often pulled Xu Jiangcheng here, everything here, she is very familiar with it.
At that time, he looked reluctant, and she never noticed it.
Thinking of this, Wen Ning couldn't help but smile bitterly, coming to this restaurant full of memories was really blocking himself for no reason.
Zhou Zhe caught the look on Wen Ning's face, and he didn't say anything very intimately.
Compared with the quietness on Wen Ning's side, Zhao Jiayue's side can be regarded as exploding.
"What do you mean, Xu Jiangcheng, didn't you say that you would accompany me to the banquet?" No matter how good Zhao Jiayue's temper is, now it is really worn out by Xu Jiangcheng, since Wen Ning came back, he has become very strange, and now he says that he will not accompany him to the banquet, isn't this obviously not caring about himself?
Xu Jiangcheng watched Zhao Jiayue jumping beside him with some irritation, he was annoyed enough when he saw Wen Ning and the other men leave just now, but now she is chattering around him endlessly.
Zhao Jiayue saw Xu Jiangcheng ignoring him, and suddenly shouted out of control: "Xu Jiangcheng, don't think who you are, without me, you are nothing!" If you still think about Wen Ning, you can go to her, and of course, I can kill myself again! β
Her threatening words lingered in his ears, and he couldn't pretend to be calm anymore, he shook Zhao Jiayue's arm, and said angrily: "I'll let you go." β
"Okay, Xu Jiangcheng, this is what you said, don't regret it for me!" Zhao Jiayue coldly put down a sentence and left him with "hating the sky".
Su Ming on the side was a little embarrassed, and looked at these two people without tears.
"I said, what now?" Su Ming finally broke the silence and asked Xu Jiangcheng cautiously, for fear that he would be unhappy and implicate himself.
Xu Jiangcheng was obviously very irritable, he made a cold face and turned around: "Whatever she is, how about love, I'm going back to the company." β
Su Ming looked at Xu Jiangcheng speechlessly, he hadn't seen him like this for a long time, since Wen Ning appeared, he was really moody.
sighed, he immediately dialed Zhao Jiayue, this mess seems to be cleaned up by him.
After calling many times, Zhao Jiayue picked up the phone angrily and said, "What's the matter!" Come on, I'm busy. β
"My ancestor, don't be angry, won't you? I'll go and persuade Xu Jiangcheng later, and let him accompany you to that birthday banquet. Zhao Jiayue's eldest lady's temper, Su Ming has seen it many times, and he coaxed her helplessly.
It's like this every time, when they quarrel, Su Ming has to follow behind their butts and clean up, but the left and right sides are not good stubble.
"He's said so, what else can he do?" Zhao Jiayue's voice softened significantly, perhaps realizing her gaffe.
Su Ming said with a little headache: "This matter is on me, you two don't be angry, one is just Wen Ning." β
It's just a Wen Ning, Su Ming said it so simply, in fact, he also understood that Wen Ning was always irreplaceable in Xu Jiangcheng's heart, even Zhao Jiayue, who had been with him for many years, couldn't drive him away.
But now, in order to please Zhao Jiayue, he can only open his eyes and speak in the vernacular.
Zhao Jiayue on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time, and finally called softly and hung up the phone before it was counted.
Su Ming heard the beep of the phone being hung up, muttered a few words, and planned to chase Xu Jiangcheng.
It's done here, but Xu Jiangcheng is very tricky.
Wen Ning obviously didn't know what her appearance had brought to Xu Jiangcheng and Zhao Jiayue, she still sat opposite Zhou Zhe with a smile and chatted with him.
Zhou Zhe is really a very gentle and knowledgeable person, Wen Ning is with him, and there is never any time when he feels embarrassed.
She also sighed secretly in her heart, such a good person was also ruined by Zhao Jiayue.
"Miss Wen, with all due respect, you invited me to dinner today, not just to make friends with me, right?" Zhou Zhe opened his mouth lightly, but his head was lowered, so that people couldn't see what his expression was.
Wen Ning was stunned for a moment.
