Chapter 7: Candlelight Dinner

Tang Shu had no choice but to follow his mother's advice-

He took off his slightly awkward blazer and put on a brown casual suit that was well cut and fabricated, but he didn't untie the pink tie.

Half an hour before dinner, Liu Li and her daughter Song Jie came together.

Liu Li wears a slim pencil skirt with a delicate white shirt, exuding intellectuality and elegance...... He wore a yellow shawl and a hat with an ochre-red ribbon that had become fashionable.

As soon as she walked in the door, she kept talking about her stock and her mahjong at the beginning...... And sighed, complaining that he was a poor fate, and begged Tang Kui to help......

However, Liu Li is as casual as her own home......

Although Zhen Yan politely said to her that she wanted to be as casual as in her own home, it was just polite words-

However, Liu Li took it seriously, and she was really not polite at all-

She still sneezed three times in a row with a loud sound, still restless in her chair, and turned her slightly chubby body so casually.

It didn't seem to her mind that she had come to someone else's house as a guest.

However, Song Jie kept herself serious, serious, almost arrogant, and indescribably swaggering......

She really looked like a guest who didn't squint and looked like a face-

This kind of cold, silent, and unfamiliar demeanor on her face made Tang Shu almost unable to recognize that this was Song Jie, whom he thought he was more familiar with.

He didn't recognize her familiar gaze, her familiar smile, her familiar demeanor.

Although Tang Shu thinks that Song Jie is still beautiful-

She wore a gorgeous evening gown with sparkling jewelry.

Her hair was curled into long curls that ran down her cheeks and down her shoulders—a style that matched the cold, dull expression on her face.

Dinner was a Western meal, and the dishes were extremely hearty - lettuce, salad, foie gras steak, caviar, chicken salad, grilled prawn sufri, potato braised lamb, roast lamb saddle, etc.

And, I opened a bottle of red wine......

In order to show the romantic and alluring atmosphere of the dinner, Zhen Yan also deliberately turned off all the lights and deliberately lit candles - a few grease candles illuminated the dining table.

Song Jie's beauty and charm were even more evident in the light of this bright candlelight—her two large eyes shimmered with crystal transparency—as if they were two small stars shining in the deep sky.

Tang Kui sat next to Song Jie......

In Tang Shu's opinion, his father seemed to be deliberate - he took care of Song Jie with Tang Kui's unique elegance and calm politeness.

Tang Kui occasionally looked at Song Jie - Song Jie also occasionally looked at Tang Kui...... However, Song Jie's gaze was so strange, almost with a hint of hostility.

From time to time, the two of them talked quietly, ambiguously—

This surprised Tang Shu - he was even more suspicious:

"Father and Song Jie must have some kind of relationship......"

Tang Shu didn't dare to imagine...... Even a little scared -

Liu Li was not polite at the table, she kept holding a knife and fork, cutting dishes and stuffing them into her mouth, she ate the most, and praised the food for being extremely in line with her appetite.

But she still sneezed three loud sneeze in a row intermittently......

Zhen Yan was a little tired of Liu Li's grinning demeanor, especially the way she sneezed from time to time—she coped with it with a bored and contemptuous attitude.

Tang Kui frowned slightly at times.

……

That night, Zhen Yan saw that her husband and Song Jie were a little ambiguous, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.

She developed a sense of disgust for Song Jie.

"Both mother and daughter are very arrogant women......"

When Liu Li's mother and daughter left, Zhen Yan said to Tang Kui.

"They don't want to think about it - now they have nothing, they want no money, they want no money, they want no money, they just keep a beautiful empty skin, what's the use - why are they so arrogant?"

"You've probably never seen anyone more arrogant than these two, have you?" Tang Kui asked Zhen Yan rhetorically.

"Hahaha, Tang Kui, I said so, thank God!" When Zhen Yan heard this, she sneered.

"What are you laughing at? That's right, and you should thank goodness...... Liu Li is your high school classmate and you invited her, how can you evaluate her like that?" Tang Kui also said coldly.

“…… That's what I'm saying about them, what's wrong? You've taken them up...... You're my husband, which end of the hell are you? Then towards them, I see that you and Song Jie have a leg......"

Zhen Yan couldn't beat it, and reprimanded Tang Kui loudly.

Tang Kui didn't want to defend himself and felt bored...... He walked away in a daze.

……

However, what made Tang Shu sad was that Song Jie only cared about talking to her father and didn't notice him at all-

Song Jie didn't even look at him or communicate with him with a little look, which made Tang Shu feel as if he didn't exist in Song Jie's eyes......

Or, as Song Jie said, he is just a little hairy child who has not grown up.

This dinner can be said to be held in an awkward and awkward atmosphere-

Around seven o'clock, dinner ended...... Liu Li signaled to Song Jie with her eyes - she should go back. Song Jie nodded in agreement.

So they stood up and took their leave.

"Director Tang, Zhen Yan was my best classmate in high school, and now I ask for your help, and I count on your care...... I will never forget your kindness in the future, and I will repay you again......"

Liu Li dragged out her voice as if singing, and said politely to Tang Kui and Zhen Yan.

"Good ......," Tang Kui agreed perfunctorily.

"Well, what's the solution? Pity you...... Have mercy on us! I used to have a happy life, but it's all in the past - even though we used to have a little money! Hahaha......"

Liu Li added self-deprecatingly. - with a kind of disgusting laughter, mixed with a somewhat crying tone and tone.

"But...... Now that I have no place to settle down, I just want to think about what is the use of the rich days before? ”

Tang Kui nodded politely to Liu Li, and Zhen Yan politely stroked Liu Li's slightly curved back, as if to comfort her not to be too upset.

They sent the mother and daughter to the door of the unit, and seeing that Liu Li and the others had already walked away, they returned.

Tang Shu stood there in casual clothes with that pink tie, as if he had been sentenced to death by a judge, standing pitifully and staring down at the floor.

Song Jie's indifferent and disregarded attitude towards Tang Shu finally disappointed Tang Shu.

However, to Tang Shu's surprise, when Song Jie walked past Tang Shu, she had the same gentle and concerned look in her eyes, and whispered to Tang Shu:

"At nine o'clock in the evening, I came to Likun Song City to sing, did you hear that? You must come...... I'll wait for you—"

Tang Shu was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth,—— but Song Jie had already put the headscarf on his head, turned around and left, leaving Tang Shu with a beautiful back.

Soon after Song Jie left, she sent a text message to Tang Shu again, still emphasizing that she would come to the song city to sing, but she added the room number 9999 private room, and was worried that Tang Shu would not be able to find the location, so she also sent a location.

In less than half past eight o'clock, Tang Shu changed into a suit jacket, still wearing a pink tie, combing a slightly protruding forehead hair on his head, took a taxi, and arrived at the gate of Song City in less than twenty minutes.

He was greeted by a beautiful woman in a short skirt standing in two rows, and when he saw Tang Shu walking in, they all shouted "Welcome" in unison, Tang Shu said the room number, and there was a beautiful woman in front of him.

The beautiful woman looked at Tang Shu with an extremely happy expression, and was extremely happy to guide Tang Shu to the 9999 luxury bag on the third floor.

As they reached the door, there was a burst of laughter from men and women and a shouting and singing voice.

As soon as Tang Shu entered the door of the private room, he couldn't help but take a step back in surprise.

I saw a man in front of the TV screen holding a woman singing loudly - the song was not flattering, it was really fatal to listen......

Song Jie stood on a chair in the middle of the room, holding a man's hat in front of her, and three or four men gathered around the chair.

The men tried their best to reach for the hat, but Song Jie held the hat high and shook it vigorously.

Seems to be making a game...... Song Jie's favorite thing is the game!

After seeing Tang Shu come in, Song Jie shouted loudly-

"Wait, wait! I turned off the music first, and now there's a new guest ......"

The sound of music and singing came to an abrupt halt—

Then, she jumped off the chair with light and dexterity, and grabbed the cuffs of Tang Shu's suit jacket.

"Come on...... Shu Shu ......"

She said with a mouth full of wine, and then introduced the men and women in the room.

"Friends, let me let you get to know him and get acquainted with him - this is Tang Shu - my neighbor."

Song Jie greeted enthusiastically and introduced loudly.

Everyone came over with wine glasses to toast Tang Shu......
