I was quite angry, but when I saw her like this, all my anger subsided and I stood behind Li Ge without moving.
“Xiaoxiao, a man should have more than just the kind of merits you mentioned, he should also be affectionate. I’d like to be your blue-eyed confidant, and when you’re bored, I’ll chat with you. At least, you leave your soul to me.”
If I wasn’t on the wrong side of the fence, I’d give Li Ge a round of applause, that’s backup licker dogging on too many levels.
I thought Chu Xiaoxiao would dislike him back to his face, after all, Chu Xiaoxiao’s mouth was unforgiving, but instead of saying anything, Chu Xiaoxiao even smiled at Li Ge.
I was not sure what to think, but my phone vibrated in my pocket and I took it out to see that it was a text message from Chu Xiaoxia.
“My dad has to beg his dad in business, I can’t say anything, don’t be mad dear.”
Li Ge, this straw man, the best he can do is to have a good birth and a good old man, otherwise he is nothing.
I was upset, but I could only hold it in.
“Xiao Xiao, don’t reject me, let me at least be your good friend. We can watch painting exhibitions, listen to music, sip wine and read poetry together ……”
“But, Zhang Chao will be unhappy.” Chu Xiaoxiao couldn’t take it anymore and said.
“If he’s a man he shouldn’t be too strict with you.”
Chu Xiaoxiao said with her tongue out, “He doesn’t care about me, I am afraid he will beat you up, he has a bad temper and is also extraordinarily capable of fighting.”
“Oh, I’m not afraid ……”
As soon as his words fell, I pinched his shoulder, Li Ge was startled by me, bounced up from his chair, saw it was me and shouted reflexively in fear.
“You, why are you here?” Li Ge was so startled that his face was blue with fear from me.
I picked up the walnuts on the table for decoration and crushed them playfully, giving the walnut kernels to Chu Xiaoxiao to eat. Li Ge, who had just said he wasn’t afraid of me, was already gagging in fear at this time, seeing how strong I was.
I could see that he wanted to slip away. When we first met and shook hands, he already knew that he was in no way a match for me in terms of force, but he had just bragged about it himself, and now he had to stick to it even though he had a hard head.
I pulled out a stool and sat down, smiling at him first, “Sorry, I heard that Xiao Xiao was here for dinner, so I came to pick her up. I didn’t expect you to be there. Li Ge, you’re not still interested in Xiaoxia, are you? Xiaoxia is my girlfriend now, and I’m not good-tempered, so don’t get any ideas about her.”
I said it jokingly, I couldn’t afford to offend this guy, I couldn’t say it lightly, I couldn’t say it heavily either.
But the tone was joking, but the meaning was clear, if I pestered Chu Xiaoxia again, I would be unkind.
The corner of Li Ge’s mouth twitched for a moment, but he quickly lightened up.
“I’m catching up with Xiaoxiao, you wouldn’t be so petty. By the way, what would you like to eat? Waiter, bring the menu.”
This guy’s cheek was so thick that I sighed, he could still quietly play hard to get in this situation, worthy of being a second generation official, he had seen the world after all.
My mind had changed from wanting to kick him out to wanting to see how much more he could pretend to be a p*ssy.
The waiter quickly brought the menu, and after a quick glance, he said unhappily, “Who told you to take the Chinese menu? This is a French restaurant, bring the English menu!”
The waiter slinkingly brought over the English menu, and Chu Xiaoxiao gave me a wink and texted me to ask what Li Ge wanted.
I smiled, already knowing what he was up to.
As expected, Li Ge pushed the English menu to me and said in a gentlemanly manner, “Zhang Chao, order what you want to eat.”
I smiled and didn’t say anything, nor did I take that menu.
As if it dawned on him, Li Ge said, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t think it through. You can’t read the English menu, right? It’s actually normal, many undergraduates can’t read a few English nowadays, but education doesn’t mean everything, look at you, you graduated from junior high school and now you have a successful career. What can a returnee like me, who studied abroad to get a master’s degree and has a belly full of ink, do? Come back and still work for others?”
I was about to say something when I glanced at Chu Xiaoxiao, looking at Li Ge with her mouth open in astonishment and an admiring expression on one side, then I saw her looking down and sending me a weibo.
I scanned my phone and it read, “You learn quickly, this is called epic pretence.”
I couldn’t help but puff out a laugh and interrupted Li Ge, “No, don’t blame yourself. I was just thinking that since this is a French restaurant, it would be best to read the French menu. Waiter, bring over a French menu.”
The waiter had been watching from afar, watching me and Li Ge fight, and as soon as I summoned him, he nimbly brought over a French menu.
Li Ge was surprised: “Can you read it?”
I rubbed my chin, said a few dishes in French, pushed them to the waiter and then laughed, “Haha, when I was a soldier I had to learn English German French Japanese Korean Spanish and also the languages of several countries bordering the southern border as well as the local dialects. Haha, what do you want to eat? Order a few too.”
I turned the menu upside down and pushed it to Li Ge, whose old face was red.
I immediately imitated his tone and said, “I’m sorry, I didn’t think it through, you don’t speak French, do you? Haha, I didn’t really expect that, I thought you knew quite a lot with such a high degree.”
Li Ge never dreamed that the few areas he thought were the most impressive would be crushed by me to the point of no return.
“Waiter, my friend can’t read this, bring me a Chinese copy.”
The waiter gleefully retrieved the Chinese menu from earlier and handed it to Li Ge.
Li Ge was so embarra*sed that he couldn’t find a crack in the ground.
I said, “Li Ge, how are you getting on with the Lu Tong business? Is that ad going to work? Xiaoxia is now the manager of Lu Tong, you two are old friends, I’m sure you’ll still give Xiaoxia some face.”
What else could Li Ge say, he couldn’t help but give this face to Chu Xiaoxiao. However, he also knew very well that giving business to Lu Tong was giving me money, and giving money to a love rival was something that whoever did it would be stifled.
I didn’t know what the hell he was up to, but he tossed around with his phone and seemed to have a new idea when he put it down.
“Xiao Xiao, Uncle Chu is coming later, let’s order some more food.”
Chu Xiaoxiao and I looked at each other, Chu Huaien was coming?
It was self-evident what Chu Huai En had in mind when he let his daughter and Li Ge out on a date.
Now that Chu Huai En had a request from Li Liang, of course he wanted to use his daughter as a bargaining chip to ingratiate himself with the mayor.
Chu Xiaoxiao sent a WeChat asking me what to do. I’m also upset, I don’t want Chu Xiaoxia to fall out with her family for me, men who let women cut off their own parents are scum, but I’m also worried about Chu Huaien making bad moves, I can’t let anyone take her away from me.
I told Chu Xiaoxiao to calm down a bit and see what happens.
Li Ge, on the other hand, had a winning smile on his face. I really didn’t know what he was laughing at. Wouldn’t he feel shameless that a man would use such tactics to steal a woman.
In fact, it is good to meet Chu Huaien, Han Kun did not tell anyone after returning to China, only secretly met Chu Huaien, this man who owes a lot of debts and privately embezzled company cash, what is so special about him?
Chu Huai En is still graceful, similar to when I first met him, he looks very elegant.
Li Ge was very good at what he did, and he and Chu Huaien complimented each other, complimenting Chu Huaien on his age, and Chu Huaien of course complimented Li Ge on his youthful talent, much to the embarra*sment of Chu Xiaoxiao and me.
“Zhang Shao, you are also here, Xiao Ge, Xiaoxiao you two kids are really, why didn’t you tell me.”
