Just as the taxi exited the company grounds, a black sports car slowly pulled out from behind a tree on the side of the company building.
A French restaurant.
When Jian Liangtong arrived, Huo Chengjin hadn’t arrived yet.
She found a seat and sat down, ordering a glass of juice while waiting for Huo Chengjin.
The front part of the restaurant was made of glass, and there were also a few tables placed outside the entrance.
Jian Liangtong waited for almost twenty minutes before Huo Chengjin appeared in the restaurant.
Seeing him, Jian Liangtong instinctively stood up from her seat.
Huo Chengjin approached her with his hands in his pockets, a slight smile on his lips, and sat opposite Jian Liangtong.
Jian Liangtong blinked and then sat down again.
"Have you been waiting long?" Huo Chengjin glanced at her glass, which was two-thirds empty.
"No." Jian Liangtong shook her head and pressed the server button on the dining table to order.
The waiter quickly ca over, standing by the table waiting for them to order.
Jian Liangtong looked at Huo Chengjin, "You go ahead and order."
Huo Chengjin opened the nu in front of him, glanced over it, and ordered foie gras and steak, along with a bottle of red wine.
Jian Liangtong only ordered a steak.
After the waiter left, Huo Chengjin squinted at Jian Liangtong and suddenly said, "Are you back together with my brother?"
"..." Jian Liangtong paused.
Huo Chengjin noticed Jian Liangtong’s reaction, his lips curled slightly, and his deep eyes stared at her, "Looks like you are back together. Not bad."
Jian Liangtong lowered her eyelashes, took a sip of the juice on the table.
Huo Chengjin looked at her, one hand still in his pocket, the other on the table, leaning back in his chair, his posture as lazy and unruly as he was, "When are you getting married?"
Jian Liangtong’s hands tightened slightly around the juice cup, she slowly lifted her head, looking at Huo Chengjin, "Do you want to marry your brother?"
Huo Chengjin stared at her for a long mont, swallowing hard, "I want you to marry the one you love, the one who can make you happy."
Jian Liangtong suddenly felt a lump in her throat, staring at Huo Chengjin, not knowing what to say to continue the conversation.
So in the end, Jian Liangtong awkwardly moved her lips and said, "Thanks for the kind words."
Huo Chengjin’s hand in his pocket clenched slightly, yet he raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Aren’t you already with the one you love as you wished? Why do you still sound so unsure? Is my brother not good to you, or have you found that you’ve suddenly fallen in love with soone else?"
Fall in love with soone else?
Jian Liangtong’s long eyelashes trembled lightly, and her brow furrowed slightly.
Seeing this, Huo Chengjin’s raised eyebrows gradually lowered, and a dark glint flashed across his deep eyes as he looked at Jian Liangtong, "Have you fallen in love with soone else?"
Huo Chengjin’s voice carried a hint of nace, along with so hidden resentnt and unwillingness!
Jian Liangtong frowned more deeply, looking at him, "Can’t I fall in love with soone else?"
"..." Huo Chengjin’s expression turned hard, as if he could eat soone, "Who have you fallen in love with?"
Jian Liangtong looked at him, "You and Huo Shaojun are truly brothers."
Who says that one can only have one love in a lifeti?
Why, in their eyes,
If she fell in love with soone else, it seed like she had committed so heinous cri!
Huo Chengjin’s gaze flickered slightly, yet he still stared coldly at Jian Liangtong, "Is it because my brother is not good to you, or has soone else started causing trouble, sabotaging your relationship with my brother?"
"Are you referring to them as the ones sabotaging my relationship with Huo Shaojun?"
Jian Liangtong suddenly looked behind Huo Chengjin and spoke.
Huo Chengjin’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and turned his head to look back.
When he saw the two people walking hand in hand toward them, Huo Chengjin’s face instantly darkened.
"Chengjin."
Fang Jingting walked closer before she dared to confirm it was indeed Huo Chengjin.
She had planned to eat here with Song Yun, and from outside the door, she saw Jian Liangtong, while Huo Chengjin could only be seen in profile.
Although she thought it looked like him, Fang Jingting held onto a shred of hope that it was just soone with a similar profile, not Huo Chengjin himself.
So now seeing it was indeed him, Fang Jingting’s features scrunched up.
"Why are you entangled with this woman again? Are you not miserable enough?"
After all, this is a public place, so Fang Jingting minded her image, lowering her voice as she reprimanded.
Huo Chengjin frowned, "Mom, this is a restaurant, let’s talk at ho."
"..." Fang Jingting paused, glanced around the restaurant, then looked at Huo Chengjin, "Xiao Yun and I just arrived too, and haven’t eaten yet. Join us."
"No need," Huo Chengjin replied.
"Chengjin, why can’t you listen to your mother’s advice. Being with this woman won’t end well for you. Have you forgotten how long you were hospitalized last ti? Co with ." As Fang Jingting spoke, she reached to grab Huo Chengjin.
"Mom, don’t force . You know I never consider consequences when I act."
Huo Chengjin looked at Fang Jingting, his eyes devoid of warmth, "If you want to see do sothing outrageous in the restaurant, by all ans, continue."
Fang Jingting was taken aback by his gaze, her hand suspended in the air.
Song Yun gently narrowed her eyes, lightly pulling back Fang Jingting’s extended hand, "Auntie, Chengjin may simply be having a al with a friend, no need to be too tense. Besides..."
Song Yun gave a glance at Jian Liangtong, who sat across from Huo Chengjin, suppressing her frown and keeping silent, "Chengjin is now the Vice President of Huo Group, a distinguished status. Anyone with so self-awareness wouldn’t think one al ans Chengjin has any special feelings, and put hope on such unrealistic fantasies."
Huo Chengjin’s expression remained dark, "Hasn’t Miss Song always harbored unrealistic fantasies about my brother?"
Song Yun’s face froze, a wave of resentnt flashing across her eyes, yet her brows slightly furrowed, appearing pitiful and wronged, "Chengjin, since when did you say such things?"
"The aning of what Miss Song just said is exactly what I an!"
Huo Chengjin showed no rcy to Song Yun, his gaze icy toward her increasingly pale face, "I advise Miss Song to give up! Because my brother will never be interested in a woman like you! As Miss Song said, people should have self-awareness."
"Huo Chengjin!"
Song Yun, being a lady of status, couldn’t hide her anger when humiliated so publicly, she glared with red eyes, "How dare you insult a girl like this? What kind of man are you? Don’t you have any gentlemanly manners?"
"Miss Song speaks rudely and bullies a girl just like her; perhaps Miss Song cannot even be considered a person!" Huo Chengjin replied coldly.
"You..."
"Enough!"
Fang Jingting stretched her face taut, patting Song Yun’s arm absentmindedly, her eyes turning hostile towards Jian Liangtong, who hadn’t spoken, "Miss Jian, I’ve told you more than once, stop entangling with my two sons! But you continue to ignore my words, don’t bla for being rude to you."
"Rude?"
Jian Liangtong stared at her, her eyes colder than Huo Chengjin’s expression, "Mrs. Fang, Ms. Fang, how do you plan to be rude? Are you going to drug and arrange for to be gang-raped?"
Gang-raped...
Huo Chengjin’s body trembled violently, his clenched fists nearly cracking his knuckles.
Fang Jingting also shuddered fiercely, yet looked at Jian Liangtong in confusion, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Just a mont ago, Song Yun was filled with anger, but now she suddenly lost all her bluster, even retreating a step behind Fang Jingting.
"It’s amazing how poor Ms. Fang’s mory is."
Jian Liangtong’s exquisite face was as cold as the tone in her voice, "I believe Ms. Fang cos from a scholarly family, right? I’m curious, what exactly did Ms. Fang learn from books? And additionally..."
Miss Jian’s tone abruptly shifted, giving a sharp gaze to Song Yun, who was trying hard to appear innocent with her head down, "Didn’t Miss Song just lecture others with indignant righteousness, standing on principles?"
"You are talking nonsense! I was abroad and hadn’t returned during that ti you got into trouble. Don’t you dare bla it on !"
Song Yun reacted strongly, raising her head to glare at Jian Liangtong.
Jian Liangtong stared at Song Yun inch by inch, her red lips slowly forming words, "Is that so?"
