Chapter 212 Talking Points
To my surprise, they actually arranged to meet at a family banquet under the name of the Song family.
That was a place where Song Yafei and her group used to gather.
Although it's a place under the Song family's name, they wouldn't be so unlucky as to run into Song Yafei and her group.
As night fell, Lin Qiuran and I went to a family dinner.
I didn't expect to be recognized as soon as I went in.
"Are you here to see President Song, sir? Would you like me to take you upstairs?"
I realized that the person in front of me was the general manager of the family banquet; I didn't expect him to remember me.
I didn't publicize the news that Song Yafei and I got back together, so how did he know?
What surprised me even more was that I actually ran into Song Yafei during this family dinner. I don't know if it was lucky or unlucky.
I declined, saying, "No need, I have something to discuss. Please arrange a private room for me."
"Okay, I'll have someone arrange it for you right away."
Lin Qiuran has recovered almost completely, and the two of us are waiting for the client in the private room.
A little while later he received a call from a customer.
"Oh no, let's wait a bit longer, the customer's car is stuck in traffic."
"It's okay, I'll go to the restroom first."
When I came out of the bathroom, I hadn't thought much about Song Yafei's matter.
Unexpectedly, I overheard two waitresses talking to them.
"Did you see the people that President Song brought with him today?"
"I see them. It's been a long time since they've been here. Those few are the hardest to please! They all seem to be in a bad mood and ordered quite a lot of drinks."
"Who cares! As long as I can make money, it doesn't matter who I serve!"
"That's true."
"But the most pitiful one is that young master Xu. He is deeply in love with Miss Dong, but for some reason, Miss Dong drinks like an alcoholic every day."
Miss Dong is still here, and she's even involved with Song Yafei.
This is something I didn't expect.
The two girls continued chatting and laughing, and I never expected to run into Young Master Xu.
He looked somewhat lost and disoriented. I was standing right next to him and he didn't even see me. He just hurried past me and went upstairs.
I originally planned to go back to find Lin Qiuran, but when I saw Young Master Xu, I couldn't help but follow him.
When we got to Song Yafei's familiar private room upstairs, I saw Xu Sanshao push the door open and go in. At that moment, the room became unusually quiet.
I was just standing in the corridor around the corner, so I couldn't see the whole scene inside the private room.
But after a moment of silence, a questioning voice came from inside.
"Hey Xu, what are you doing here? Get out of here right now!"
It was Miss Dong who was making things difficult for Young Master Xu. Even though she spoke harshly, Young Master Xu didn't refute her.
A moment later, another man's voice came through; it sounded very familiar.
"Song Yafei, who are you trying to fool with that long face? We finally managed to get together, are you deliberately trying to upset us!"
"You're so upset after finally winning Zhang Tian back. I bet it's because Zhang Tian is ignoring you, right?"
I didn't expect Xie Wenyao to be here too. Who else is in there?
Her words were so sarcastic, and her laughter was even more unrestrained.
In this locked-down city, few people dare to speak to Song Yafei like that, and even fewer dare to tease her like that.
However, Xie Wenyao and she are of similar status, and everyone in the industry knows about the conflict between them.
They could only watch them kill each other, and dared not step forward to get involved.
Compared to Xie Wenyao's smugness, Song Yafei's voice was much calmer, both of them indifferent.
"What does this have to do with Miss Xie? You want Zhang Tian, but he doesn't even bother with you. In the end, he's still my husband."
Xie Wenyao still mocked, "I just find it funny! Think about it, Zhang Tian has been following you around all these years, suffering so much."
"It's true what they say, the tables have turned. You're the one who was hoping for something better. How does that feel?"
Several people passed by and, noticing my leaning posture, looked at me strangely and stared at me for a few moments.
"What do you know! Couples may quarrel in bed, but they make up before they get out of bed. Miss Xie has never been married, so she doesn't understand the experience."
"I know you're longing for Zhang Tian but can't have him, and you hate me and are jealous, right? But there's nothing I can do, he will always be my husband, Song Yafei's husband."
The door to the private room suddenly opened, and someone came out. I turned around and went back into the private room.
Lin Qiuran was singing. When she heard me come back, she glanced at me and then turned her head away. "Oh my god, you fell into the toilet! It's been so long!"
I paused for a moment to compose myself, then asked, "When will the client arrive?"
Lin Qiuran then picked up her phone to check the new message she had just received. "They'll be here soon. I'll go out to greet them."
I was sitting alone in the private room, intending to have a drink of water to calm myself down, but I accidentally grabbed a glass of beer and drank it instead.
I never imagined that one day I would become the subject of their conversation again.
It wasn't exactly unpleasant, but it wasn't pleasant either.
Song Yafei and Xie Wenyao kept bringing me up in their conversations, treating me as an object of comparison, as if whoever got me would be the winner.
This realization makes me feel uneasy.
I had only been sitting in the private room for a short while when Lin Qiuran brought her clients up.
The negotiations with the client went very smoothly, and thanks to Lin Qiuran's mediation, I felt much more relaxed.
Overall, the customer was quite satisfied in the end.
After seeing the client off, Lin Qiuran received a call from Wu Qian.
Although Lin Qiuran's health had recovered to about 70-80%, it was normal for Wu Qian to be worried, so I told him to go back first.
Lin Qiuran insisted, "No, I'll take you back first."
I gave him a push, "Hurry up and go, stop dawdling, it's getting late, the driver will be here to pick me up soon."
Lin Qiuran then drove away.
Fortunately, he left, otherwise he would have run into Miss Dong who came down later.
Upon hearing Miss Dong's voice, not wanting to have any contact with her, I instinctively stood in the shadows to the side.
Miss Dong seemed to have drunk quite a bit, as she walked unsteadily, and Young Master Xu followed behind, trying to help her.
Miss Dong grumbled and cursed, seemingly very dissatisfied with his presence.
It seems that Miss Dong had no choice but to leave first because of Xu Sanshao's entanglement.
"Are you a tagalong? You follow me everywhere I go, don't you have any self-respect?"
Xu Sanshao is the most patient rich young master I have ever met. He was unmoved by what Miss Dong said and only wanted to help Miss Dong, who was unsteady on her feet.
Judging from Miss Dong's words, this Young Master Xu is very persistent with her.
After some arguing, and not knowing how to pronounce it, Miss Dong slapped Young Master Xu across the face.
Even Ms. Dong was stunned for a moment, but only for a few seconds, before she immediately reverted to her previous demeanor.
"What are you looking at? I'm hitting you! You're so shameless, all you want is that little bit of benefit the Dong family is giving your Xu family!"
After being slapped, Xu Sanshao seemed to have changed.
