"Hey, do you think you're buying cabbage? You can take any one home? In the year you were gone, I've dated a few, but I didn't feel anything for any of them. I want to find one, but there's no way, I just can't find one!" Shen Xinrou spread her hands, looking somewhat helpless. Ever since Yu Xiao's kidnapping happened a year ago, Shen Xinrou learned about the two people from her eldest brother, and she completely lost confidence in Kang Shaonan. Although she is not ugly, and can be said to be very beautiful, even so, even if Kang Shaonan and Yu Xiao really divorced one day in the future, she had no confidence in completely driving Yu Xiao out of Kang Shaonan's heart. So, she simply chose to give up.
"No way? You lost confidence in my brother so quickly?" Kang Shaoxi looked at Shen Xinrou's decadent expression and wanted to cheer her up again.
"Shaoxi, what are you talking about? George is still here!" After hearing Kang Shaoxi's words, Shen Xinrou reminded her a little embarrassedly.
Kang Shaoxi smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, he is one of us! I have told him everything about you!"
George looked at Shen Xinrou's expression and smiled gently: "That's right, there is no right or wrong in love! There is nothing embarrassing about this!"
Hearing these two people say this, Shen Xinrou felt relieved and looked at Kang Shaoxi and said, "Forget about your elder brother! He and Yu Xiao even have a child now. I don't want to have that kind of dream anymore. Besides, my elder brother is Yu Xiao's brother-in-law now. Even if your elder brother and Yu Xiao really get divorced one day, my parents will not allow me to marry into your Kang family! So I don't have any thoughts about him now!"
"In fact, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely succeed! If you don't take a step on this road, you will never find your own happiness!" Kang Shaoxi deliberately provoked Shen Xinrou when he heard her discouraging words.
"Forget it! His happiness does not belong to me, so I'd better give up in time, otherwise I won't get it in the end and get into trouble. That would not be worth it!" She really had no idea about Kang Shaonan.
"Okay! In that case, it's up to you!" Kang Shaoding heard what Shen Xinrou said and knew that it was useless to persuade her any further, so he nodded in agreement.
The dishes were served quickly, and the three of them ate and talked, but Kang Shaoxi and Shen Xinrou talked most of the time. Relatively speaking, George next to them was much quieter. Halfway through the meal, Kang Shaoxi received a mysterious call and temporarily left the private room. As soon as Kang Shaoxi left, George started to talk more.
"Shaoxi is so lucky to have such a good boyfriend like you!" Although Kang Shaoxi was not around, Shen Xinrou still knew how to keep her distance. After all, she knew that her good friend Kang Shaoxi was not a good person. It would be better for her to avoid provoking him.
"Xinrou, you misunderstood! I'm not her boyfriend!" George narrowed his eyes and explained to Shen Xinrou with a smile.
"Ah? No? But you just..." Shen Xinrou opened her mouth wide, somewhat unbelieving what she heard.
George couldn't help but laugh: "That's just Kang Shaoxi's vanity, I have nothing to do with her!"
"Vanity?" Shen Xinrou's eyes widened even wider, but she felt an inexplicable hope for the man in front of her. Since he wasn't the one, did that mean she had a chance
"Yes! To me, she is just a good friend, that's all! We agreed to pretend to be a couple, and when she finds someone she likes, I can quit." George explained with a smile calmly.
"That means... you are still single?" Shen Xinrou couldn't help but ask.
"Yes! I haven't found a girlfriend yet! Miss Shen is more familiar with this place. If you know any girls, please remember to introduce them to me!" George looked at Shen Xinrou opposite him, with a gleam in his eyes.
"Then... what kind of girls do you like?" Shen Xinrou bit her lip lightly. As she watched him ask, she felt her heart beating faster. George looked at Shen Xinrou and smiled: "Just help me find someone who is exactly like you! I like people like you!"
Shen Xinrou didn't expect George to be so straightforward. She blushed and avoided George's fiery gaze: "Don't let Shaoxi hear you say this, otherwise she will definitely misunderstand!"
"If I like you, then I like you! Why should I be secretive? But I always speak like this. I just said what was in my heart just now. Please don't take it seriously if it offends you. I know that someone with Miss Xinrou's background would not be attracted to someone like me who has no background!" George spoke directly without hiding his feelings at all.
"Don't say that! You have such good conditions, how could I look down on you?" Shen Xinrou felt a little embarrassed after saying this.
George looked at her expression and smiled thoughtfully: "Haha, Xinrou, you are too modest!"
Just when Shen Xinrou was about to say something, the door of the private room was pushed open by Kang Shaoxi. Seeing her friend walk in, Shen Xinrou immediately swallowed back everything she wanted to say.
The lunch was very pleasant. When the three of them walked out of the lobby of the seafood restaurant, Kang Shaoxi looked at his friend and said, "Xinrou, I received a call from a friend while I was having dinner just now, asking me to go see him after dinner. So George, I have to drive away. Xinrou, do you mind helping me take George home?"
"Look at what you said! It's just a piece of cake! George, let's go!" Shen Xinrou was naturally happy to accept such a request.
Watching Shen Xinrou walk towards her car, Kang Shaoxi and George smiled at each other at the same time.
George got into Shen Xinrou's car, waved to Kang Shaoxi, and the car drove away quickly. Kang Shaoxi watched Shen Xinrou's car drive away, with a smug smile on his lips.
Shen Xinrou, although you were once my best friend, who made you Shen Yimo's sister
So, I'm sorry!
When Shen Xinrou's car drove out of the seafood restaurant, she looked at George beside her: "George, are you going back to the Kang family now?"
"It's still early now. I'm not very familiar with Shaoxi's family when I go back. By the way, are you busy this afternoon?"
"I'm fine too! What's the matter?"
"If you have nothing to do, why don't you come with me to see my new restaurant!" George invited Shen Xinrou.
"Okay!" Shen Xinrou agreed readily.
The car was driving on the road. George looked at the scenery flashing outside the window, turned his head and looked at Shen Xinrou beside him: "Are you and Shaoxi best friends?"
"Yes! We have been studying together since junior high school. We are best friends!"
"What do you think of her?"
“Very good!”
"Isn't the word 'very good' a bit too broad? You should be more specific, like she is very righteous, or she is kind-hearted, or she always likes to stand up for the weak or something like that."
"Now that you put it like that, I really don't know how to describe her. Anyway, I think she's very nice. We've often gone shopping together since junior high school, traveled together, and sometimes solved problems together. That's it!"
"Haha, really? Then let me ask you a question. Do you think the current Shaoxi is any different from the Shaoxi you met a year ago?"
George's words startled Shen Xinrou. She looked at the expression on George's face with some confusion: "What do you mean by that?"
"Actually... the person who saved her in America was not me, but someone else!"
"Ah? Are you telling the truth?"
"What's there to lie about? If something is done, it's done. If it's not done, it's not done! Besides, I don't like to be a good guy wearing someone else's hat!"
"Then... then who saved her?"
"An old man in his sixties!"
"You, you, you didn't lie to me, did you?" Shen Xinrou was completely shocked by George's words and found it a little unbelievable.
"Do you know why that old man saved her?"
"Why?"
"He just likes Kang Shaoxi's body. He promised to send her back to China, but the condition is that she will be his mistress for a year! Think about it, how can I let a woman like her be my girlfriend?"
"Ah? Are you telling the truth?"
"Whether you believe it or not is up to you! Actually, I shouldn't say these words to you, but I don't know why, I have an inexplicable trust in you!"
George's words were so shocking that Shen Xinrou didn't say anything until she got to George's restaurant. She kept thinking about what her elder brother said. Kang Shaoxi is no longer the girl she used to be. She has completely changed!
Now it seems that what my brother said does make sense!
George's restaurant has three floors. The previous owner had just renovated it, but because of poor business, he had to sell it. After George took over, he changed a few dishes and kept the restaurant running. George took Shen Xinrou to visit the restaurant and finally took her to his office on the third floor.
Shen Xinrou had been immersed in George's words for an entire afternoon. She knew she couldn't stay here any longer, but she had no resistance to George at all. She wanted to leave again and again, but she persuaded herself to stay again and again. This lasted until the evening. George was a man who was very good at flirting, and he specially prepared a candlelight dinner. Facing such an affectionate man, Shen Xinrou completely fell for him physically and mentally. That night, she didn't know how many glasses of red wine she had drunk, she just felt dizzy and groggy, and finally fell into someone's arms...
Shen Xinrou had a very long dream. She dreamed that her dream finally came true and she married a tall, handsome man with long flowing hair and a mustache... They lived very happily, very happily... But just as they were immersed in happiness, a terrible woman appeared. She pointed a sharp knife at Shen Xinrou and cursed at her, accusing her of stealing her boyfriend. She also stretched out her hand to twist her ear, twisting and pinching her hard. It hurt so much... (To be continued)
