"and many more."
Xie Xingrang's eyes lit up, and he instantly felt like he saw hope.
"Have you changed your mind?"
Chu Xing didn't even raise his eyelids.
"Pay the bill before you leave."
Hearing this, Xie Xingrang's joyful face instantly fell, and his charming peach blossom eyes were full of resentment.
"Are you still human?"
Chu Xing raised his eyebrows, as if it was a matter of course: "Don't you insist on treating us?"
"I……"
Xie Xingrang felt like a toad was stuck in his throat. He wanted to scream a few times but couldn't say a word.
"I said I'll treat you if you agree to let me share the table. I didn't say I'll treat you if you kick me out."
Song Mai also hurriedly stopped Chu Xing: "It was agreed that I would treat you..."
Chu Xing, however, looked at Xie Xingrang with great persistence.
"What? You can't even bear to treat me to a meal?"
Since he said so, Xie Xingrang naturally couldn't keep refusing.
Besides, it was just a meal. He pouted and said reluctantly:
"I'll treat you. You're not letting people eat the meal, but you're asking them to pay..."
As he spoke, he walked towards the cashier.
With Xie Xingrang's departure, Chu Xing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But when he turned to look at Song Mai, he found that the woman's expression was very serious.
"You shouldn't be like this."
She spoke word by word with a stern face, looking extremely serious.
"I don't know what the relationship between you two is, maybe you're just acquaintances or friends, but we agreed in advance that I'll pay for this meal as a thank you for helping me. No matter what, he shouldn't pay the bill."
She didn't know what he was thinking, but she never liked to take advantage of others.
Maybe that little bit of money meant nothing to that butterfly, but she didn't want it to be like that.
Chu Xing originally thought that this was just a normal way of getting along between friends. He and Xie Xingrang grew up together and they were like one. He also did this subconsciously because he didn't want to really let her spend money.
But at this moment, feeling the woman's anger, he put himself in her shoes and felt that what he did was indeed inappropriate.
In her eyes, Xie Xingrang was just a person who appeared suddenly. No matter how good the relationship between him and Xie Xingrang was, she didn't know it. Moreover, after he refused to let Xie Xingrang sit down and have a meal with him, he still asked Xie Xingrang to pay. It seemed that he was really a bad person.
"sorry."
After figuring this out, he apologized without any hesitation.
Song Mai couldn't help but be stunned by his decisiveness and straightforwardness.
She was ready to have a good argument with him. The seriousness on her face could not be dispelled for a while. Song Mai coughed awkwardly:
"It's okay, just be careful next time."
"it is good."
But then she thought about it again and felt it was a little strange.
"You and he are friends? Why does he call you Master Yun?"
It's okay for friends to call each other by a few nicknames, but that butterfly-like man is obviously not an ordinary person.
Even though he was not very good, he was obviously rich or noble. That person listened to him so much, and even his grandfather believed in him. That butterfly even called him Master Yun...
[Is he really just an ordinary person who was fired by the company? ]
Song Mai didn't want to suspect anyone, but this matter was too strange.
If you think about it carefully, there are many loopholes, which makes people suspicious.
After hearing her thoughts, the man realized that she was suspicious. After thinking for a moment, he slowly spoke.
"What if, I mean what if, what I told you before wasn't true?"
Song Mai's heart sank, and his expression darkened as well.
"There are no ifs. I hate it most when someone lies to me. If you really lie to me, then our agreement ends here."
She said these words with great force, as if they had pierced a wound in her heart that would never heal, causing her to feel physical pain.
Hearing this, the man's thin lips opened slightly, but then closed again.
Finally he said slowly:
"My grandfather and his grandfather were good friends when they were young. He and I grew up together and have always had a good relationship. When I was working, I often invited him to dinner. That's why I took it for granted that he should pay the bill today. It's my fault for making the decision without your consent. I apologize to you."
The man was sincere and there was nothing wrong with his words. In addition, Song Mai trusted him very much, so after he said these words, Song Mai did not have any suspicion.
"I'm sorry, I spoke too harshly."
Since he had already apologized, Song Mai wasn't the type to hold on to it, so he simply apologized as well.
After speaking out, Song Mai felt a lot more comfortable. She never liked to keep things secret and always wanted to make everything clear.
And Chu Xing's attitude today also made her feel that if she really married him, it would seem to be a very good thing.
Although he was a little bit worse off materially, at least he respected her.
Just when the two finished their meal and stood up to leave, they ran into Fang Yu and Zheng Yao who was holding his arm affectionately.
Zheng Yao never expected to meet an acquaintance here. She panicked and hurriedly let go of Fang Yu's hand, but the panic in her eyes did not dissipate for a while.
Song Mai could tell at a glance that the two were unusual, but he didn't say it.
"What a coincidence, you two."
Fang Yu also smiled meaningfully, but that smile looked unnatural.
It was as if he had done something shameful and was caught by someone, so he could only find a very lame excuse.
"Yes, I was doing some work nearby and I happened to meet Zheng Yao, so we decided to have dinner together."
Song Mai gave a knowing smile, but there was a hint of meaning in his eyes.
"What a coincidence."
Zheng Yao was already worried that people in the company would know about her relationship with Fang Yu, but it happened to be discovered today, and the person she ran into was Song Mai.
Although Fang Yu explained, it was obvious that Song Mai didn't believe it at all.
Feeling guilty, Zheng Yao changed the subject and looked at Song Mai with disdain.
"Why, you come here to eat too?"
Song Mai raised his eyebrows.
"No? You own this store? You're not allowed to come?"
Fang Yu had something to hide, fearing that Song Mai would find out, so he just wanted Song Mai to leave quickly. However, Zheng Yao didn't think so and insisted on blocking Song Mai's way in a sarcastic manner.
He tugged at Zheng Yao's sleeve and said in a low voice:
"Okay, let's eat ours and go."
Zheng Yao has always looked down on Song Mai. Song Mai has always been extremely poor and is not as pretty as she is. How could she be with Chu Xing?
Now she sees that Song Mai is getting better and better. First he got promoted, and now he can afford a restaurant like this, but he always talks back at her. How can she tolerate this?
She pushed Fang Yu away, her brows full of disgust towards Song Mai.
"It's not owned by my family, but not everyone can come here. At least some people are so poor that they can't even afford a salad here."
