Ji Wei was not without suspicion.Qin Man and Ji Ran couldn't get along, so why did they get together after the Qin family declared bankruptcy?

But he quickly dismissed the idea.One is that he has never heard that Qin Man likes men; the other is that he doesn't think there is anything about Ji Ran that can attract Qin Man.

But now the posture of these two people has obviously surpassed the range of ordinary friends.

It wasn't until Qin Man turned his head around and exposed the smoke from his mouth that everyone realized that he was borrowing fire.

Only Ji Wei is still frowning, even if it is an excuse, this way is too intimate.

The air was quiet for a moment, and the man next to Ji Wei took the lead to break the scene, and said with a smile: "Qin Man, this is not interesting for you. You have to explain it to us."

Ji Ran was called back to his senses, and finally remembered to exert force in his hands. Qin Man followed his force and straightened his back, and the two finally separated a little.

"Steal a fart." Ji Ran cursed in a low voice.

Qin Man sneered, exhaled a puff of smoke, and changed his expression when he turned around.

He explained lightly: "My friend is celebrating his birthday here."

A sharp-eyed person among them saw Ji Ran and said, "Isn't that Ji Ran? You two... still have contact?"

All of these people knew Ji Ran.After all, he is Ji Wei's half-brother, and he is also the person who used to come to class every day to find Qin Manchu.

Most of those who followed Ji Wei looked down on Ji Ran. When they met in the cafeteria and playground when they were in school, they often spoke sarcastically.Even now, there is still playfulness and sarcasm in their eyes.

Although Ji Ran has a bad temper, he is not without brains. There are a lot of people on Ji Wei's side, and it would be a disadvantage for him to talk to them.

"unlucky."

After leaving these words, Ji Ran screwed out the cigarette, turned around and walked towards the entrance of the restaurant.

"What did he just say?" After Ji Ran left, the man realized, his face was extremely ugly, "Ji Wei, why is your brother still as annoying as before."

"Qin Man, why are you with him?" The man thought of something, "Could it be that he is still picking on you after graduation?"

"I still have something to do, you guys continue." Qin Man didn't answer him, nodded his head as a greeting, and left behind Ji Ran.

They were already used to Qin Man's attitude. When they were in school, Qin Man was always indifferent. No one in the class could be close to him, as if they just took a bus by chance and got off immediately when they arrived. Strangers who drive away.

"These two are exactly the same as before..."

"Well, have you heard?"

"what?"

"Qin Man's family is bankrupt!"

"Who doesn't know this? It's so miserable. Such an arrogant person will start to worry about money."

"That's not."

Although there was regret in the words, most people had gloating faces on their faces.

Ji Wei pondered for a moment, then interrupted them: "Okay, let's go."

On the other side, Ji Ran walked a few steps, suddenly remembered something, turned his head and asked, "Did you do it on purpose?"

Qin Man stopped and raised his eyebrows: "What?"

"You already knew that group of people would gather here, why didn't you say so?"

Qin Man laughed: "The place they originally booked is not here. Besides, even if I tell you, will you change the place?"

Ji Ran of course not, what kind of people are those people, why should he be asked to change the location.

It's just that if he had known that Ji Wei and the others would come here, he wouldn't have called Qin Man over.

Ji Ran paused, then threw the key to him: "I'll have the car parked downstairs, you can drive back."

Qin Man didn't pick up the key: "What about you?"

"I can take a taxi myself."

"What's wrong?" Qin Man said, "Did I make you angry?"

"...No." Ji Ran frowned and said, "You want to see those people?"

He is not blind, he can see the thoughts of those people just now, so Qin Man can naturally.

"But I'm not here to see them." Qin Man put the key back in his pocket, "Let's go, don't make them wait too long."

-

After they finished their meal, someone brought a cake soon.

Chen An was a little surprised, but his face was not so wronged after all.Ji Ran propped his chin, thinking that Cheng Peng's temper is really good, if it were him who worked so hard to give Qin Man such a dinner, and Qin Man still put on such an expression, then he would definitely beat him up.

Yue Wenwen smiled and said, "Shall we sing a happy birthday song together?"

No one responded to him.

"No, no need." Chen An lowered his head. Except for Cheng Peng, he was unfamiliar with the people at the table, and he was still uncomfortable. "I'm very happy, thank you, thank you."

"Cut it open and have a look." Cheng Peng said.

Chen An nodded weakly, picked up the knife given by the waiter, and cut it carefully.

Cut in half, he couldn't move.

"Push it away." Cheng Peng said.

Chen An put the cream aside, revealing the small box underneath.

Ji Ran glanced at it inadvertently, his heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously glanced at Qin Man.

This box is exactly the same as the one Qin Man handed him just now.

Qin Man met his eyes and shrugged, indicating that he didn't know.

The box was covered with a layer of plastic film, and it was not dirty. Looking at the box, Chen An was so frightened that he stopped.

The size of the box makes it easy to see what's inside.

Yue Wenwen was taken aback, he didn't expect his mouth to be so eloquent: "Cheng Peng, you..." Seriously.

He didn't say anything after that.

Chen An muttered, "What is this?"

"Birthday present." Cheng Peng said, "Open it and have a look."

In the box is a beautiful ring.

Is it Ring Festival tonight? Wherever you go, there are rings?Ji Ran couldn't help but glanced at Qin Man's pocket.

"What does this mean?" Chen An's stuttering got worse.

"It's up to you what you mean." Cheng Peng smiled, "Don't be afraid, keep it for now."

What do you mean, is a marriage proposal?Yue Wenwen thought.

Whether it is possible or not, Chen An will give an accurate statement.

Chen An was silent for a long time.

It was the first time Ji Ran saw such a rich expression on Chen An's face. He glanced at Cheng Peng, who smiled slightly and remained silent.

"Speak." Ji Ran couldn't stand it anymore, and opened his mouth to remind him.

Chen An trembled in fright: "...Cheng Peng, thank you."

After finishing speaking, he didn't put the ring on, but put it in his pocket. These actions seemed to use all his strength, "I, I will take good care of it."

There was a dead silence on the table.

"It's okay." Cheng Peng broke the silence and said, "There are still desserts, eat some."

Ji Ran felt that it was an anecdote that this buddy made the matter of nurturing so humble.

If it were him, if Qin Man dared not accept his ring...

He stopped the thought immediately.

How could he give Qin Man a ring? He's not crazy!

Just as Ji Ran was thinking about it, he heard a few footsteps behind him.

"Qin Man, so you are sitting here, let us have a meal to find it."

Looking back, there are several men in neat suits standing behind them, they are the ones standing beside Ji Wei just now.

"Excuse me, we are Qin Man's high school classmates." One of them said, "Qin Man, I see that your cake has been cut and dessert is served, why don't you sit with us and catch up? The one behind In the box."

Qin Man raised his lips, but did not move: "No."

"Come on." The other person couldn't help it, and said, "Aren't we doing this for your own good? We all understand your situation. If you come with us, maybe someone can help you?"

Before Qin Man could speak, Ji Ran said disdainfully, "Help him? Just you?"

These people all changed their faces, ignoring Ji Ran: "Qin Man, let's go."

The guests around couldn't help but glance over here, not wanting to cause trouble to the people on the table, Qin Man nodded: "Then I'll go over and have a chat, and I'll be back soon."

As soon as he stood up, Ji Ran also stood up.

Someone immediately alerted: "Ji Ran, we didn't invite you."

"You think you can please me?" Ji Ran laughed, "I have something to tell Ji Wei, what are you doing?"

The man wanted to say something, but someone immediately gave him a wink.

What are you afraid of, the box is full of our people, so Ji Ran can still mess up the game.

"...All right, let's come together."

Yue Wenwen originally wanted to follow, but was pushed back to his seat by Ji Ran.

They had just walked a few steps when they heard Qin Man whispering, "You don't need to follow, I'll just say a few words and leave."

Ji Ran doesn't talk to him, and walks bigger than him.

When they got to the box, the others saw Ji Ran with subtle expressions.

Ji Wei sat in the middle, looked at them with pursed lips, and said nothing.

Ji Ran didn't sit down, he stood behind Qin Man with his arms around his waist, intending to see what this group of people wanted to do.

"Qin Man, you're finally here." A bald man stood up, "You don't know. These girls heard that you weren't coming, and they were all downcast, hahaha."

"Don't make fun of me." Qin Man hooked the corners of his mouth, but there was no warmth in his smile. It was the same as when he was in school. Although he would help big guys solve problems, his words were indifferent.

Qin Man raised his cup, "Have a drink?"

"Yo yo." Someone touched him with a glass in both hands, but what they said was, "I can actually drink with Qin Man in my lifetime. I thought I would only see you in financial magazines in the future." .”

The man drank the wine and said, "Brother, I heard that you haven't been doing well recently."

Qin Man's popularity in the class wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either.Seeing him fall from the clouds, some gloated, but few made trouble.

This guy is one of them.There was no other reason. The bald man had been secretly in love with the girl for three years, and he confessed his love to Qin Man four times in high school, but he failed even once.The girl was also present today, so the bald man naturally wanted to find his way back.

"It's okay." Qin Man said.

"Don't be brave, we are all brothers, there is nothing to say." The bald man said, "Are you short of money? I have some savings. If you want, I can lend you some. Or do you have a job? I know something There are [-] tax deductions a month for people who work on shifts, how about I introduce you."

Qin Man raised his eyebrows: "Eight thousand?"

"Yes, don't think too little. You are used to being pampered and pampered. You may not know it. For those of us who have only graduated a few years ago, it is already amazing to have nearly [-] in a month."

Qin Man nodded half-understanding, and asked, "Then what is your current monthly salary?"

"The commission from the tax deduction package is about [-] to [-] a month." The bald man blushed.

It is impossible for everyone in a class to be rich second-generation. Only Ji Wei and Qin Man have rich families in their class, and most of the rest are from well-to-do families. To get such a job just a few years after graduation is actually very good.

"You are not kind." Someone immediately chimed in, "I get a salary of tens of thousands of yuan, but I only recommend a job of [-] yuan. Qin Man must look down on it."

"I know I've wronged him, but isn't he short of money?" The bald man raised his chin, "By the way, Qin Man, do you have to confiscate your assets when you go bankrupt? Isn't your home also confiscated? Do you have a place now?" Live, do you want me to find you a house? Did your parents run away or did you go in?"

It sounds kind, but every sentence pokes at other people's pain.

Ji Ran was so angry when he heard it, he couldn't help but sneered.

He was already the most eye-catching presence in the box, and with such a laugh, he attracted everyone's attention.

The bald man paused: "Ji Ran, why are you here? What are you laughing at?"

"Laugh at you like a donkey." Ji Ran said.

The bald man was stunned: "You..."

"Still a bald donkey."

As soon as these words came out, several girls in the private room couldn't help laughing out loud, including the bald-headed goddess.

The bald man blushed: "Why are you still so uneducated! Ji Wei, take care of him..."

"He can control me? Besides, where did I say it wrong." Ji Ran said, "You don't look at yourself, and you get tens of thousands a month and you're just here."

Ji Wei frowned: "Ji Ran, please don't say a few words."

Ji Ran pretended he didn't hear it, and he felt happy when he saw the bald man blushing: "Eight thousand? Eight thousand, can you afford Qin Man for an hour? Who do you look down on?"

"No matter what happens in his family, he still has a higher education than you, looks better than you, and earns more than you. Qin Man is working here now, so I won't talk about his salary. Anyway, it's more than ten times yours. I'm happy to send a car and a house, and I can still give him a wife. Don't worry, he's living a better life now than you, an old bald donkey, and you don't need to introduce him to a job. "

"It's you, shall I give you a few bottles of hair tonic?"

"you--"

The bald man raised his wine glass and wanted to smash it, but his wrists were tightly restrained and he couldn't move.

Qin Man squeezed his wrist, squinted and said, "It's not good to do it."

His voice was cold, and the bald man's heart trembled when he heard it.

The bald man gritted his teeth: "Qin Man, I didn't expect you to work for an illegitimate child, don't you feel sorry for Ji Wei?"

"Why am I sorry for Ji Wei?" Qin Man asked with a smile, "Ji Wei and I are just ordinary classmates. What does the grudge between him and Ji Ran have to do with me?"

Ji Wei took a sip of wine, obviously not planning to get involved.

Qin Man is still useful to the company, there is no need for him to turn against him.

After Qin Man finished speaking, he suddenly let go of the bald man's hand.The bald man tried his best to break free, but almost fell to the ground.

Ji Ran squinted forward: "Old bald donkey, what did you just say?"

Qin Man took a step to the right without showing any signs, and stood in front of Ji Ran.He picked up a glass of wine, with a cold and casual smile: "One more toast to everyone. I have something to do tonight, so I won't accompany you. Have a good time."

After all, he drank his glass and held Ji Ran's wrist very naturally, "Let's go."

Ji Ran is not a fool, there are so many people here, when the group of people reacted, he couldn't win the fight or scold him, so he simply walked out of the box with Qin Man.

"When I was in high school, I always saw this person as annoyed." Ji Ran was still muttering when he walked out.

Qin Man asked: "Why?"

"Didn't he imitate you every day when he was in school? He bought the same style of sneakers, schoolbags, and even socks as you." Ji Ran spat.

He heard a quick chuckle from the person next to him.

Ji Ran looked sideways in doubt: "What are you laughing at?"

"No." Qin Man suppressed a smile, walked for a while, and finally couldn't help it anymore.He asked, "How do you even know what socks I wore in high school?"
