"Oh." Xia Yitong glanced at Qiao Tong and returned to her seat without moving. Although she didn't hear what Qin Mu said clearly, she could guess what happened from his behavior. Lu Yinbing pressed her lower back lightly, leaned over and said in a low voice, "Why are you going up there to join in the fun? Let me talk."
Obviously he was very dissatisfied with Xia Yitong for his cold reception.
This person named Qiao something, she had asked Xue Yao yesterday, her father's name is Qiao Heng, a well-known figure on the rich list, he himself returned from overseas ten years ago, graduated from a famous university, and once he returned to China, he became famous in the circle because of his father.
Isn't it just a little money? It's like no one has nothing. Isn't it just a little less than hers? There's no need to act according to her mood.
Lu Yinbing looked at Qiao Tong with an unfriendly expression. Qiao Tong's eyelashes drooped slightly at this time, just avoiding her gaze and looking at the woman beside her whose eyes were almost growing on Lu Yinbing, with a hint of anger in her eyes.
What goes around comes around. She has considered Shang Youxuan her idol for ten years, and Shang Youxuan has considered Lu Yinbing her idol for ten years. If she hadn't been there and able to keep her composure, she would have probably just pounced on him.
Qin Mu quickly arranged seats for everyone. Originally, Qin Mu should sit in the middle, with Shang Youxuan and Lu Yinbing on the left and right. Shang Youxuan took Qin Mu's seat as soon as she came up, next to Lu Yinbing, and Qiao Tong followed closely behind. Qin Mu sat at the edge instead. Fortunately, it was a round table, and Xia Yitong moved the stool so that she and Qin Mu could be closer.
Qin Mu cast a grateful look at her. Xia Yitong really knows how to care for others. What kind of best friend is that she can't walk when she sees her idol.
Shang Youxuan kept stealing glances at Lu Yinbing. Lu Yinbing was used to seeing her fans with shining eyes, but she didn't like to face such gazes when Xia Yitong was here. Her intuition told her that the guy named Qiao should be able to control her, so she frowned slightly at Qiao Tong, then looked at Shang Youxuan, signaling her to keep an eye on him.
But Qiao Tong received the message she conveyed, and gave a completely opposite reaction: "Youxuan is your fan, Ms. Lu. Seeing your idol, she is a little out of control. I hope you don't mind."
Lu Yinbing remained unmoved and smiled: "… Sorry, I'm shy."
Alas, he is still a child and even some Chinese characters have a foreign flavor, and he is quite protective of his own people.
Xia Yitong lowered his head without saying a word and drank the water quickly.
Qiao Tong glanced at Lu Yinbing indifferently, and there seemed to be some unpleasant emotions revealed in her eyes.
Shang Youxuan clasped his hands together and said repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
The good goddess is thin-skinned and takes a small notebook to write it down in her mind.
Qin Mu was sweating profusely. She rubbed her hands under the table, stood up and said, "Now that everyone is here, let's order the dishes?" She distributed menus to the four people and then observed everyone's performance. Qiao Tong didn't look, but Shang Youxuan did. Others didn't know, but Qin Mu knew that they were a couple, which was normal. On the other side, Xia Yitong was looking, but Lu Yinbing didn't. This...
Qin Mu was a little puzzled. No matter how close the sisters were, Lu Yinbing was the boss and should be the one looking at the menu. Why was she looking at it
Just as she was thinking about it, Xia Yitong pushed the menu over to her and pointed at the pictures on it with his slender fingers, as if asking for her opinion.
Qin Mu nodded silently in his heart: This is right.
After the four of them finished ordering, Qin Mu ordered two more signature dishes. The waiter confirmed the dishes and went downstairs.
Qin Mu said a few words to liven up the atmosphere, but neither Mr. Qiao nor Mr. Lu gave him face. The two of them couldn't talk to each other and seemed to be incompatible. Shang Youxuan and Xia Yitong knew each other, so it was okay for them to chat. Qin Mu just let them do what they wanted. Anyway, Mr. Qiao always followed Shang Youxuan's wishes, and Xia Yitong's sisterhood didn't seem fake. At most, he could save the country in a roundabout way.
So Qiao Tong and Lu Yinbing would occasionally respond, but most of the time it was the three of them who were talking. When the dishes were served, Qin Mu was miraculously able to find that Qiao and Lu's faces looked much better than at the beginning.
She was immediately delighted, it seemed that this roundabout way of saving the country was still working, so she simply focused on Shang and Xia.
Shang Youxuan put a piece of bamboo shoot into Qiao Tong's bowl and said, "The name of the novel is "Mei Qi". It is a martial arts novel that I started serializing last year and it was completed in March this year. The publication was sold to xx Publishing House, and the film and television rights were acquired by Qin Mu. It tells the story of the replacement of the old and new forces in the martial arts world. The heroine's surname is Mei, and she is a representative of the new martial arts forces, a growing type. It's available online. If you are interested, you can take a look at the story first. It should be the one I am more satisfied with in the past few years."
Xia Yitong didn't answer at first, and said as if complaining: "I have heard the name Xingxingdiandeng for several years, but I didn't know it was you."
Shang Youxuan said: "I didn't intend to expose myself. Novels are novels, and I am me. But Qiao Tong insisted on investing in the filming, and Qin Mu said that if he dragged me out, you would be more likely to agree. Otherwise, I would have kept it hidden."
Qiao Tong paused chewing and picked up a piece of sweet three-cup chicken for Shang Youxuan. Shang Youxuan was talking and ate it without noticing. After eating, she turned back and glared at her. Qiao Tong raised her eyebrows slightly, then lowered them, with a smug, cocky smile.
sisters
Xia Yitong frowned and said, "Sister Youxuan."
Shang Youxuan said: "What's wrong?"
Xia Yitong remembered that she seemed to have said she had a girlfriend last time she called. Was she the one in front of her? The cold investor and her good friend's girlfriend made her feel different instantly. She poured red wine into her glass and raised her glass sincerely to congratulate him: "Congratulations."
Shang Youxuan's face flushed with an imperceptible blush when she heard this, and she turned her head to look at Qiao Tong in a reproachful manner. Before she could say anything, Qiao Tong poured the wine first, changed her attitude of keeping people at a distance, smiled, raised her glass across the table, and said to Xia Yitong politely, "Thank you."
The three of them drank, and Lu Yinbing clinked glasses with Xia Yitong alone.
The smugness on Qiao Tong's brows became more and more obvious, and she started talking: "I really like Youxuan's novel, so I hope to make it into a finished product and put it on the screen. I can bear all the costs of funding and production. As long as Miss Xia is willing to act, the crew can be formed now."
When she said this, Xia Yitong felt like she saw the same little tail that Teacher Lu had raised behind her, and she couldn't help but smile. Lu Yinbing didn't say much the whole time, and kept signaling Xia Yitong with her eyes. Seeing this, Xia Yitong restrained herself a little.
Qiao Tong asked: "I heard from Boss Qin that Boss Lu and Miss Xia are like sisters?"
Xia Yitong: “…”
She really didn't know when they became "sisters".
Lu Yinbing nodded and said, "Better than ordinary sisters."
"To be honest with you, Mr. Lu, my lover is Shang Youxuan..." Qiao Tong said calmly.
Shang Youxuan wanted to bury her face in the cup.
Lu Yinbing raised his eyebrows slightly, very surprised: It turns out that Ji is not judging people by their bent eyes, people are bent... As a fellow bent person, shouldn't I be a little nicer in attitude
She adjusted her facial expression to one that was pleasant.
Qiao Tong: "She is your die-hard fan. She always booked the theater for people to watch your movies. She took me to watch the newly released "Breaking Snow" ten times in two months, and she came back crying every time."
Lu Yinbing thought she was going to talk about business, but Qiao Tong said, "She likes you very much. Can you take a photo with her?"
Shang Youxuan suddenly raised her head.
“…” Lu Yinbing blinked twice in succession.
This unconventional personality and the way of pampering her lover... Now I see, hey, this girl is really good-looking!
"Sure." She took the initiative to move towards Shang Youxuan, who was so excited that her face turned red and she almost fainted on the spot. She pressed the fingerprint on her phone three times but failed to unlock it. Qiao Tong handed her her phone with the camera adjusted. Shang Youxuan didn't even look at her, but hurriedly said "thank you" and went to take a photo with the goddess.
"The second generation, Qin Mu."
Shang Youxuan greeted her and Qin Mu exclaimed.
Shang Youxuan put her hand loosely on Lu Yinbing's shoulder. They were both of the same height, both good-looking and pleasing to the eye. She said, "Help us take a picture."
Qin Mu: “…”
It turns out that not only does she have to pretend to be a grandson, but now she also has to work part-time as a photographer.
Qin Mu took two photos of her and returned the phone to her.
Qiao Tong also walked up to Xia Yitong and said politely, "Miss Xia, would you please do me the honor of taking a photo with me?"
"Okay," Xia Yitong agreed readily. She whispered, "Can I ask why?"
"Which one do you want to listen to, the truth or a lie?"
"Listen to them all, first the fake one."
"It's fake. I just became your fan after watching the movie."
"Is it true?"
"Shang Youxuan will definitely go crazy after taking the photos. I have to use the group photo to make her jealous, otherwise she will completely forget that I am her lover." Qiao Tong smiled, and the coldness between her brows disappeared immediately. "Take the photos with your phone. Add me as a friend later and send the photos to me."
Xia Yitong found that this wealthy Mr. Qiao was quite interesting.
The four of them took photos together.
When they were drunk, Xia Yitong stood up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."
Qin Mu: "Go ahead."
Xia Yitong didn't move.
Lu Yinbing: "Go ahead."
Xia Yitong left.
Qin Mu felt sad: Is this the difference between the new boss and the old boss? She didn't know what it felt like to marry a wife and forget her mother before, but now she knows.
After a while, Lu Yinbing stood up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom too."
There were only three people left in the box. Qiao Tong placed the chopsticks on the porcelain chopstick holder, making a slight clinking sound.
Qiao Tong said calmly, "Mr. Lu is like me, a henpecked husband. It's all right as long as Miss Xia agrees."
Shang and Qin: "..."
Qiao Tong leaned forward to scoop some soup, raised her eyelids, and said calmly, "They are a couple, can't you tell?"
"No." Qin Mu looked surprised, put down his chopsticks, and leaned forward from the table. "I'm a little blind. Can you say it again?"
