Chapter 182: Let Me Spend Money
“I’ll treat you next time,” Song Chuyi said softly.
“I might not want to eat it next time.” Changqing hung up, annoyed.
She thought in her heart that if he didn’t beg her, she wouldn’t agree to it.
However, she was still in the mood to have barbequed meat. Hence, she could only call one friend after the other. In the end, it turned out Jiang Duoyao was unexpectedly back in Northern City.
The two were carnivorous and they quickly picked a place to meet up.
Changqing was pressured into spending 170 to 180 thousand every month and when she reached the shop, she waved her hand, saying, “Choose the most expensive ones. All I have now is money.”
“Yo, you’re rarely so generous. In the past, you always said you’re poor. Your money must be from Song Chuyi,” Jiang Duoyao said.
“That’s a must.” Chuchu raised her head proudly. “After my special training, Song Chuchu begged me to spend money last night.”
“Really?” With that IQ of hers, Jiang Duoyao found it questionable.
“I’m not lying to you.” Changqing said shamelessly, “When you get married, I’ll teach you some ways.”
“Really?” Jiang Duoyao blinked. She really didn’t know whether to believe her or not.
After the various barbequed meat was served, Changqing took her phone out to take photos of the plates of meat. After taking another selfie, she uploaded the photos to Weibo and added the caption: “Beautiful, eating meat” with a bunch of drooling emojis following.
She wondered if Song Chuchu would see it. In any case, it would help her left off some steam.
Hmph, even without his company, there was someone for her to eat barbequed meat with.
Not long after the post was uploaded, many left comments.
Ruan Yang: eye-rolling emoji.
Love Our Yangyang The Most: Wow, wow, wow, Goddess Ruan also came to comment.
Little Angel In The Clouds: Goddess Ruan looks beautiful even when rolling her eyes.
Sensen Loves Pear: Goddess Ruan’s eye-rolling expression could even beat Changqing by miles.
After reading the comments for a while, Changqing said angrily, “It was my post. Ruan Yang took away all my limelight.”
Jiang Duoyao looked through her phone and was overjoyed. “That’s too funny. However, Ruan Yang is really too popular. You should thank her. Who knows—you might even appear on the entertainment news.”
Changqing continued to snort and funneled her anger into her appetite.
“Right—about what happened in Hong Kong previously, I really have to thank Song Chuyi.” Jiang Duoyao said suddenly, “He really is very capable. Job well done. In the past, that magazine always slandered me without evidence.”
“It wasn’t Song Chuchu. It was Yan Molun, the bodyguard with me last time. He’s Song Chuchu’s friend.” Changqing said while eating her meat, “He used to be a mercenary, like those guys you see in American films, shooting their guns everywhere. Song Chuchu said that many wealthy merchants and government officials in Hong Kong are very close to him.”
“That’s incredible.” Jiang Duoyao’s eyes brightened up. “Then does that mean you can do whatever you want in Hong Kong?”
“I think so too, haha.” Changqing said cheekily, “Do you want me to find a chance to introduce you to him? In any case, he doesn’t seem to have a girlfriend. Besides, didn’t you say last time that he looked a little like Tom Cruise?”
“Er, I think we should forget it.” Jiang Duoyao recalled his size and shuddered. “Didn’t you see how huge he is? If I go after him, that size would scare me to death. I would definitely be sent to Hades with his single shot.”
“Single shot?” Changqing was confused.
“A single shot down there.” Jiang Duoyao made eyes at her cheekily.
“Oh, oh, oh, you’re really getting filthier and filthier but that metaphor is very vivid.” Changqing’s heartbeat quickened. However, she was a little excited too. In any case, it was just the two of them, so it didn’t really matter.
However, she didn’t know that behind a wall, on the other side, Li Shaobin, who was barbequing, couldn’t hold it in and spit out a whole mouthful of sake at Yan Molun, who was sitting opposite him.
“Sorry, sorry.” He quickly wiped his face with a tissue while flustered. After a few wipes, he really couldn’t hold it in and squatted under the table, laughing.
However, he didn’t dare to laugh too loudly.
He really didn’t expect that Yan Changqing would coincidentally be having barbequed meat next door and it seemed that the sound-proofing between these two suites wasn’t adequate. On top of that, the two women became increasingly excited with their talk and were a little loud…
Yan Molun’s robust face twitched violently.
He looked down there subconsciously.
He was deeply speechless.
This time, the two women were even more heated up in the suite.
“I also think that your shot… is quite ferocious.” After saying that, Li Shaobin started trying to hold his laughter in.
Yan Molun gave him a death glare. “In that case, do you want to give it a try?”
“Bro, I can’t take it.” Li Shaobin pretended to shudder and laughed obscenely. “I would definitely be sent to Hades.”
Yan Molun felt like retching. He wanted to throw him out the window.
Also, he didn’t think that Song Chuyi’s wife would have such a filthy heart and also loved to brag so much privately.
Her special training?
Should he ask Song Chuyi about that?
They took their time finishing their barbeque until eight and Changqing walked out of the suite with Jiang Duoyao. Changqing was about to foot the bill when suddenly, Li Shaobin’s voice came from behind. “The bill for these two pretty ladies.”
Changqing turned around in shock and when she saw that flirtatious face of Li Shaobin’s and Young Master Li, she was stunned and said while in shock, “Brother Molun, Young Master Li, what a coincidence. This shop is…”
“A shop my henchman opened.” Li Shaobin raised his brows unhappily. “Why did you call him Brother Molun but call me young master? In the future, you can call me Brother Shaobin too.”
Molun looked at him disapprovingly. How shameless.
“Oh, okay.” Changqing was bewildered. Why did she always run into Li Shaobin when she went out to eat? However, even though Northern City was big, there were only a few barbeque shops that were expensive, delicious and were private. It wasn’t odd that they would run into each other too.
“You can come over to eat often if you like barbeque.” Li Shaobin looked at Jiang Duoyao. “And your friend too. In the future, everything you eat will be free.”
Jiang Duoyao suppressed the despise within her eyes. Where did this social climber come from? Why did Changqing know someone like that?
What henchman? Is he a triad boss?
“Changqing, aren’t you going to introduce your friend to us?” Li Shaobin suddenly said.
Changqing looked at Jiang Duoyao, who was trying to subtly make eyes at her, and said with a smile, “This is Jiang Duoyao; you must’ve seen her before. This is Li Shaobin, our Boss in Northern City.”
Jiang Duoyao only thought that Li Shaobin’s name was familiar but couldn’t seem to recall it. However, since he was a “boss,” she quickly removed her mask. “Hello, hello.”
“So this is Beauty Jiang. I’ve long heard your name. You’ve been popular recently. I’m in quite good terms with the boss of your managing company. We’ve even worked together during the first half of the year.” Li Shaobin shook her hand.
Jiang Duoyao thought he sounded like he was bragging, so she looked towards Yan Molun. That build, that gaze—they were so forceful that it made her take in a breath of cold air.
However, she still reached out her hand to shake his.
“Hello, Miss Jiang.” His dark eyes were watching her and his expression was strange.
Jiang Duoyao recalled the things they were saying in the suite and felt inexplicably guilty. Even her smile when she was greeting him was forced.
“Since we were fated to run into each other, shall we have a drink?” Li Shaobin gave an apparent smile.
“There’s no need for that—we bought movie tickets and we’re planning on watching a movie,” Changqing said hurriedly, also feeling guilty.
“Then that’s a pity. Next time, perhaps. We’ll invite Chuyi along,” Li Shaobin said regretfully. “I’ll get someone to bring more Wagyu beef and sashimi over.”
Changqing couldn’t withstand the temptation of food and nodded. “Sure, sure.”
“Then that’s set. Goodbye.” Li Shaobin waved with a smile.
“Bye.” Changqing and Jiang Duoyao held hands and went downstairs as though they were escaping.
Behind them, Li Shaobin tugged at the gold necklace hanging on his neck and said with an evil laugh, “I really want to listen in on what they’re going to say.”
Yan Molun looked at him silently.
Alright, he seemed to want to listen too.
Changqing got into the car and Jiang Duoyao patted her chest, saying, “In the end, it was the shop of someone they knew. Changqing, do you think they have some sort of bug installed in the suite and recorded all our conversations?”
Changqing’s hands on the steering wheel trembled. “Don’t spout nonsense; there would be a camera at most. How could there be a bug?”
“That’s true.” Jiang Duoyao closed her eyes. She was letting her mind run wildly and guiltily.
Actually, she was still a very pure person. She was just a little obscene deep within her bones.
After the meal, Jiang Duoyao still had work while Changqing went straight home.
Song Chuyi had yet to return. She played on the computer until 10 and was debating whether to call him when the sound of the car engine came from downstairs.
Changqing ran to the balcony to take a look. It was indeed his car.
Hence, she rushed back to the computer and played her game with her legs crossed.
She didn’t even lift her eyes off the computer even when she heard the bedroom door opening.
Song Chuyi took off his t-shirt in the room and went straight to the bathroom to take a shower. After coming out from the shower, he glanced at her. “Not sleeping yet?”
“I’ll play for a while more.” Changqing stared at the computer and said, “I went out to eat today and even ran into Li Shaobin and Brother Molun.”
“Really?” Song Chuyi didn’t have much of an expression. “They didn’t tell me that.”
He half-lay on the bed as he said that and opened a book to read.
The bedroom was filled with the sound of her playing the game. Changqing’s heart wasn’t really on the game and after playing alone for a while, she switched off the computer blandly and climbed into bed, saying with dissatisfaction, “Aren’t you going to ask me who I had dinner with?”
Song Chuyi lifted his head up from his book and saw the dissatisfaction in the amorous eyes on her oval face and she was even pouting like a sulking child.
His gaze softened and he said gently, “Oher than Wen Tong and those few friends of yours, don’t tell me you even dared to go out to eat with a man alone?”
“I did eat with a man.” Changqing snorted.
Song Chuyi lifted his brows. “I’ll know once I give Li Shaobin a call. When I find out who that man is, I’ll pull his tongue out and see if he still dares to have a meal with you alone again.”
Changqing finally smiled. She smiled delightedly as she burrowed into his embrace. “I was teasing you. Actually, it was Duoyao. Duoyao is like Ruan Yang—she’s my best friend.”
