The soda splashed all over the two of them, and the woman's face looked a little ugly at the time.
Everyone at the table quickly handed over tissues. Jiang Se turned around and put down the cup, saying apologetically:
"I didn't notice you were still standing there, I thought you said you were leaving, so I followed you."
She shook her skirt. She obviously couldn't go to toast in this state. She picked up her bag and prepared to go to the bathroom to clean herself.
Anyway, she stayed in the bathroom for a while, and when she came out she turned around and walked away. There were so many people there that no one would notice that she was gone.
The skirt Jiang Se wore today was made of chiffon with small floral patterns. She wiped off the traces of the drink with water and pressed it with a tissue, and it looked much better.
When she finished cleaning up and came out of the bathroom, she could still hear laughter coming from the hall reserved by the crew on one side.
It seemed like this was a wasted trip today. Jiang Se had no intention of going back in. He pressed the elevator button and waited for it to come down from the building.
On the twelfth floor of the St. Regis Hotel, Nie Dan followed Pei Yi all the way out of the restaurant's private room.
"Brother Yi, Brother Yi, don't be angry."
Pei Yiren is tall and has long legs, so he was out of the restaurant in just a few steps.
The elevator was still upstairs. Nie Dan shook his head and said, "Last time I came back from France, my grandfather treated me like his grandson." He said this, but then he felt something was wrong. "School has finally started for a few months, and my dad has given me some time to have fun. We finally got together, but Ye Xun and his men are watching over us like mules. Why are you leaving right after you get here?"
Pei Yi didn't say anything, but took out his cell phone from his bag and looked at it.
As soon as Nie Dan saw his movements, he guessed what he was thinking:
"Feng Nan still hasn't responded to you?"
As soon as he mentioned Feng Nan, Pei Yi raised his eyelids and gave him a warning look, threateningly: "Did you call Feng Nan?"
Nie Dan nodded and bowed: "Yes, yes, yes."
Feng Nan is his weak spot. No matter how arrogant he is outside, he is helpless when he meets Feng Nan.
Pei Yi is five years younger than Feng Nan. From the beginning to the end, he had a one-sided love for her. The two had known each other for many years, but in the end, Feng Nan only regarded her as a younger brother.
Just because Feng Nan casually said that the air, sunshine and scenery in Bordeaux in autumn were all beautiful, he went to France and bought an estate. He spent two years renovating the castle to the way Feng Nan liked it best.
Originally, he had made an appointment to please her this year, but she didn't appreciate Pei Yi's kindness at all, and instead went on a blind date with a guy named Zhao from Jianghua Group.
Pei Yi lost his temper, had an argument with Feng Nan, and went to France by himself.
When he returned to China, Feng Nan never paid any attention to him again. He didn't answer his calls and didn't meet him in person. Although he didn't say it, he must have regretted going to France in his heart.
After returning from France, Pei Yi has been in a bad mood.
"Brother Yi, how long have you been angry with Runing? That kid is a mean-spirited person and he deserves a beating, but you are a magnanimous person, so why not just treat him like a fart?"
When he mentioned Cheng Runing, he grinned again in an unkind way.
When Pei Yi and Feng Nan had a quarrel, Cheng Runing suggested that they go to France to relax.
But after coming back, Feng Nan ignored Pei Yi and instead became very close with the boy from the Zhao family.
Whenever he was in a bad mood, he would run to Cheng's house and beat Cheng Runing up. Cheng Runing would cry and howl and then call him to complain, saying that he couldn't live like this anymore.
Nie Dan was annoyed by his crying and snotting noise, so he agreed to invite people out for a gathering tonight and asked Pei Yi to give Cheng Runing a way to survive.
But Pei Yi had been asked out, and when he heard that Cheng Runing was also coming, he turned around and left.
This kid is young, but he is narrow-minded and very vengeful.
He is the eldest grandson of the Pei family. He was raised in the palm of the hand of Grandpa Pei and was spoiled to no end.
Although Nie Dan asked Cheng Runing to come over in order to reconcile the conflict between the brothers, he was also afraid that Pei Yi would turn hostile, so he dropped a little message in advance. However, when Pei Yi heard that Cheng Runing was coming, he turned around and left without saying a word.
“Brother Yi, Sister Feng Nan has treated you the same all these years. Maybe she doesn’t have that intention at all…” Before Nie Dan could finish his words, he saw Pei Yi’s unfriendly eyes and clenched fists.
His eyelids twitched, and he took two steps back alertly, putting his hands in front of his face:
"Okay, okay, I'm just a bad mouth. I won't say any more."
Feng Nan is his Achilles' heel, no one can touch him, but he still has the audacity to bring up this matter.
When Pei Yi gets angry, he acts like a bully and is unreasonable. If he gets beaten by Pei Yi, his father might even have to take him to Pei's house to apologize.
The lesson of Cheng Runing was still before us. When Cheng Runing was beaten into such a state, the old man of the Cheng family couldn't stand it anymore and even went to Pei's house to make a suggestion. Pei Yi was put in "confinement" for a period of time, but after he came out, he was still beaten as usual.
"Brother Yi, since we are here, why don't we just get together before we leave? If you don't like it, just ask Runing not to come."
He followed Pei Yi for two steps, and Pei Yi stopped:
"No." He walked to the elevator and took the phone in front of him with some annoyance. There were no messages or calls.
It was as if after he came back from France, Feng Nan and he became strangers and never contacted him again.
Sometimes he sent messages but never received a reply. He went to Feng's house several times and found that she was getting closer and closer to Zhao Junhan from Jianghua Group.
It seemed as if the trip to France had created a huge gap between him and Feng Nan that he could not cross.
Thinking of this, Pei Yi was filled with anger again. He put his phone in his pocket and his fingers clicked.
"No, when will Cheng Runing come?"
He is unhappy again!
Nie Dan's eyelids were twitching. Looking at his expression, he was in a bad mood when Cheng Runing was mentioned. If Cheng Runing came, he would probably be beaten again.
It was fine that Cheng Runing was beaten, but it was he who suggested tonight's party. If things got out of hand, not only would his ancestors not be in trouble, but he himself would be punished by the elders in his family.
"Brother Yi, Brother Yi, please calm down!"
He had wanted to persuade Pei Yi to stay, but when he saw the elevator coming, he pushed him into the elevator:
"Why not beat Cheng Runing any other time? Why today?" He was afraid that Pei Yi would not leave, so he personally accompanied him into the elevator and pressed the elevator button to the lobby.
Jiang Se downstairs originally thought that he had left the wrap-up party and no one would notice him for a while.
But she had only been waiting in front of the elevator for a short while when someone came up behind her.
It was Yao Xiang from the "Fake It Comes True" crew that Dai Jia had talked about downstairs earlier.
"What's going on?"
Today, Yao Xiang's hair was slicked with oil and he had already taken off his suit jacket in the restaurant. (To be continued)
