Qin Siming knew how dry the lie he had told was, but he had already said it, and he couldn't just go back on his word and tell everyone the truth.
He sat up straight reflexively because the glance Qiao Nian gave him was too much like his elementary school teacher who used to beat him.
He is an adult in his twenties and he can't say such things!
Qin Si could only bite the bullet and, under Bo Jingxing's gaze as if he were a scoundrel, he managed to say, "Ah, I've been sitting for too long, and my legs are a little cramped."
Bo Jingxing looked at him meaningfully but did not expose his lame lie.
Thigh cramps and waist bounces
Only someone as thick-skinned as Qin Si would tell such a bad lie. Anyone with a brain would not be able to figure out the reason why he would lie like that!
…
Qiao Nian didn't notice that the two of them were talking.
Her attention was mainly focused on the phone. She found a seat at the bar and sat down with the phone in one hand, listening to Jiang Li talking to her.
One hand rested on the bar, tapping his fingers on the countertop. “Well, tonight?”
"Well, Nian Nian, do you have time to come out and have dinner with me at the Yu Mansion tonight? My eldest brother will be there too, and he'll treat us tonight."
Qiao Nian didn't have any feelings for Jiang Yao. After thinking for a while, she refused: "I don't have time tonight so I won't come over. You guys eat and don't worry about me."
"You don't have time to come?"
Qiao Nian heard the disappointment in Jiang Li's voice and pursed her lips. She didn't want to refuse, but she also didn't want to get involved with the other members of the Jiang family: "Next time."
There will be no next time.
Jiang Li was not a fool. He could tell that Qiao Nian didn't want to see Jiang Yao, nor did he want to eat at the same table with Jiang Xianrou and the others.
He thought of everything Jiang Xianrou had done, and stopped trying to persuade her. He changed the subject, spoke a few words to Qiao Nian, and then hung up the phone.
After Qiao Nian hung up the call, he put down his phone.
It just happened to meet Ye Wangchuan's gaze.
"Jiang Li?"
"Yeah." She put her phone down and said calmly without hiding anything, "He asked me to have dinner with him tonight and has reserved a table at Yufu."
"Besides him, did he invite other people to join him?" Ye Wangchuan knew her too well. If Jiang Li was alone at night, Qiao Nian might have gone too.
really.
The girl's delicate eyebrows and eyes were quite eye-catching. She supported her chin with her hand and paused for a second: "Well, the other people from the Jiang family are here too. I'll let them eat, don't worry about me."
Qin Si also guessed who had suggested the meal, and raised the corners of his mouth with a rather disdainful arc: "Sister Qiao, is the other person in the Jiang family Jiang Yao?"
He heard that Jiang Yao had been back for four or five days, and he had not had time to have dinner with Sister Qiao during these four or five days. Now he had time to summon Sister Qiao.
Haha, get lost!
He has time, but Sister Qiao doesn't. Jiang Yao doesn't really think that the boss is free and can invite anyone to dinner.
He has been dating Qiao Nian for half a month, but Qiao Nian has never had a meal with him.
Qiao Nian neither admitted nor denied it, which was equivalent to acknowledging that Jiang Yao was among the people having dinner tonight. However, her expression was cold, and it was obvious that she was not interested in Jiang Yao: "I have a song to write, and I haven't finished revising it yet. I don't have time to go."
Qin Si restrained himself from asking her whether she didn't have time to go or didn't want to go. Anyway, among the Jiang family, only Jiang Li and Uncle Jiang were normal people, and the others seemed to have problems with their brains, especially Jiang Xianrou, who would come out from time to time to disgust people.
He was too lazy to say anything.
