Capítulo 46: Chapter 46
"You're going with this bastard? Lijuan might get uncomfortable because of her!"
Xiaowen said as she saw Meixiu and Xiaohui going out of their bedroom. Xioahui could only sigh and look at her wife.
"You can go ahead first."
Meixiu nodded and went out of the house. Xiaohui sighs before looking at her mother.
"Mom, you do know Lijuan doesn't mind Meixiu."
Xiaohui said.
"She just doesn't want you to see it! But she doesn't want to be around that bastard!"
Xiaowen said.
"How can you be certain?"
Xiaohui asks, getting a bit frustrated at Xiaowen.
"She once told me, you won't even check if your friend is ok with that bastard."
"Mom, I know Lijuan and she's not uncomfortable with Meixiu."
Xiaohui then left the house. As she closes the door, she looks at Meixiu who's patiently waiting on her.
"Don't mind her."
Meixiu smiles at Xiaohui.
"I like how you defend me."
Xiaohui's cheeks turn pink but she still glares at Meixiu.
"Let's just go, Lijuan might be waiting for us."
-
"Hey, Lijuan!"
The said girl looks up and saw Qiang in front of her with a smile on his face. The girl sneered and look down at her phone again.
The guy sighs before he picks something inside his blazer's pocket.
"This is for you."
Lijuan looked at Qiang's hands, seeing a box that seems to have a bracelet inside.
"What am I going to do with this?"
"It's my apology gift, sorry for acting that way earlier."
"Apology accepted."
Lijuan said, looking back at her phone. Qiang sighs before putting down his hands.
"Are you going out? Let's go, I'll treat you."
Qiang was actually forced by Grandpa Zheng to treat Lijuan. He was certainly beaten up just to agree to his grandfather's request.
Even though he and Xiulan were about to go on a date, he decided to postpone it and went to his grandfather's request.
"No, I'm waiting for Meixiu and Xiaohui."
As soon as she finished speaking, Meixiu and Xiaohui.
Lijuan's eyes brighten upon seeing Xiaohui, which she has never seen for 3 years.
"Xiaohui!"
"Lijuan!"
Xiaohui hops out of Meixiu's scooter and went to hug her friend. Lijuan gladly returns it.
"Let's go now?"
Xiaohui ask. Lijuan happily nodded her head and they both look at Meixiu.
"Is it ok if we take a taxi?"
"Xiaohui, you're letting Lijuan sit at dirty seats?"
Xiaohui looks behind her back and saw Qiang. She looks shocked but Qiang sneered at her.
"Pretending not to see me? Don't be Xiaohui."
"But, I really didn't see you earlier."
"Keep lying, as if I didn't know, you just keep on ignoring me every time."
"You're worth ignoring though."
"What did you just say?"
Qiang glares at Meixiu. The girl shrugs her shoulder before repeating what she just said.
"Xiaohui! Can you tell this bastard wife of yours to know who she's talking to!?"
"Meixiu, stop it already, and let's go."
"Where are you two taking her? I already booked one, let's go."
Qiang grabs Lijuan's arm and drags her toward his car.
"Qiang, let her go."
"Xiaohui, why don't we just go with Qiang?"
"Meixiu already booked a restaurant as well."
Lijuan looks at Meixiu. Qiang sneered before looking at Meixiu again.
"Huh! Where was it? Are you going to let Lijuan eat dirty foods?"
"I booked in The Tiger's Den."
Qiang looks at her in confusion. Why would she even book a restaurant there? Aren't they poor?
"How can you be so sure? Aren't you poor?"
"Meixiu, we can't afford that place remember?"
Xiaohui went to Meixiu and grab her arms. The taller girl looks at her wife, held her hands, and smiles.
"Trust me, I did book a reservation there."
-
"What box did you book Meixiu? The bronze one?"
Qiang wanted to humiliate Meixiu and Xiaohui in front of Lijuan. He decided to tag along.
A lot of lies were told just to tag along. He didn't want to just leave and tell his grandfather that he was unsuccessful.
As soon as they step inside, Qiang looks at Meixiu and Xioahui with stupid grins on their face.
Instantaneous footsteps got the attention of Lijuan. A girl clumsily stands in front of her.
"Good evening exquisite guest, your box is ready."
She said and bows down. Qiang looks back and smiles at the girl before nodding his head.
"We'll follow you."
The girl bows down again and walks ahead. Qiang smirks before he puts his arms around Lijuan's waist, making the girl uncomfortable.
"Come on."
He said and follows the girl. Xiaohui sighs before looking at Meixiu.
"Come on baby, let's see Qiang's box first before mine."
Meixiu said and smiles, holding her hand out for Xiaohui to hold. The smaller girl stops for a while before grabbing her hands.
The married couple followed the two, seeing them entering what seems like a very expensive box to rent.
Qiang didn't mind it though, all he wants was to get close to Lijuan.
"We'll be preparing all the dishes, please wait."
The girl who guided them bowed down and left. Meixiu went in front of Xiaohui and pulled a chair for her.
"Thank you."
Xiaohui said as she sat down in the chair. Qiang glares at Meixiu before walking in front of Lijuan and pulling a chair for her.
"You don't have to pull it for me."
Lijuan said, slowly sitting down at the chair that Qiang pulled for her.
Qiang smiles before he shakes his head.
"I'm being a gentleman because that really is me."
Look who's joking.
Lijuan could only smile awkwardly before shaking her head in her mind, reminding herself how numb Qiang is.
"You two should thank me..."
Qiang sat down beside Lijuan and points his finger at Meixiu and Xiaohui.
"Because the two of you manage to eat something like this!"
"I know that Xiaohui, we're a family but I never once saw you with us when we hang out with Grandpa."
"You might be the favorite but I know Grandpa won't waste his money just to treat you to something like this!"
That's right, Qiang just told Xiaohui the truth she already knew.
Xiaohui has long seen it, her grandfather only likes her because he can see the potential girl.
Xiaohui was pissed and upset with that idea. She's only being a puppet with her grandfather's decisions.
Not to mention, her mother doesn't even care for her.
But then her father clearly disagrees with everything. And she's thanking him because he manages to bring Meixiu out.
And she manages to get away from their grip.
It's suffocating her to hell and she doesn't want that.
The room's door opened, making the four look at it and saw the girl from earlier with servants behind her.
"Here are the dishes that we prepared."
The girl then steps aside as the servants serve the dishes. Qiang's smile faded upon seeing the amount of food that they were serving.
It feels like something's wrong.
But then he decided to ignore the feeling, looking at Meixiu and Xiaohui smugly while smiling sweetly at Lijuan.
"Please, enjoy."
The girl bows down as she closes the door behind her to give them space. Lijuan then looks at the dishes.
"What kind of box did you rent? This one seems to be the expensive one."
"Huh? How can you say that? I can never afford the most expensive here."
"What?"
Lijuan looks at Qiang in confusion. Did they just enter a random box that was supposed to be for the exquisite guest?
Wait, so Qiang is not an exquisite guest?
"Don't mind it, for now, just enjoy the food."
Qiang said, grabbing sushi and putting it on his plate.
