After getting into the car, Tong Jiangxin said out loud first, "Why did you come here in person? I can just go there by myself."
McGaro smiled lightly and replied, "I got off work earlier than you, so I stopped by to pick you up."
McGarloh said it calmly, but Tong Jiangxin knew that Asia Pacific and Evergrande were not together at all, and they were not on the same road.
Thinking about what Liao Jianing said to her at noon, about finding someone to rely on, Tong Jiangxin was slightly distracted, and just when McGaro looked sideways at her, he said, "Jiang Xin? What's wrong?"
Tong Jiangxin regained consciousness, smiled lightly, and then said, "Oh, it's okay."
McGarloh said while driving, "I called your mobile phone a few days ago and didn't get through. I thought something was wrong with you. I asked your boss and Jianing before I found out that you were on a business trip."
Tong Jiangxin hummed, and then said softly, "The phone is out of battery."
After she finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at McGuarloh and said, "What's the matter on the phone?"
McGarloh replied, "I have something to discuss with you. I wonder if you are free this weekend."
Tong Jiangxin thought for a moment, and then said, "We have a weekend off, and I didn't make an appointment."
McGaro turned his head and looked at Tong Jiangxin. He raised the corners of his lips and said with a faint smile, "Then can I take up your time this weekend?"
Tong Jiangxin still said the same thing, "What's the matter?"
McGarloh asked, "If nothing happens, can't I hang out with you?"
Tong Jiangxin smiled helplessly and was noncommittal.
McGullough said, "Shall we go to Singapore together on the weekend?"
Tong Jiangxin paused for a moment, then said, "Call Jianing?"
McGullough replied, "Just the two of us."
Tong Jiangxin pursed her lips and was thinking about how to politely reject McGaro, when he said, "Jiang Xin, don't reject me in a hurry."
Tong Jiangxin was slightly stunned, a little surprised that McGaro knew what she was thinking. Did she make it obvious?
McGaro said, "Jiang Xin, you said you could consider it. Even if we are friends, can't we let you go out with me to relax?"
When it comes to relaxing, Tong Jiangxin heard, "Aren't you happy?"
There was a trace of indescribable depression on McGarlo's face. After a while, he replied, "Actually, I want to avoid my big brother."
When Tong Jiangxin heard McGarlo mention Mai Jiacheng, the man who looked somewhat similar to McGarro came to mind.
The last time she had just had a meal with Mai Jiacheng, Tong Jiangxin was vaguely aware of the undercurrent between the two. It turns out that it was just as McGarro said, that Mai Jiacheng had always been wary of him.
But after all, it was a family matter, and Tong Jiangxin had no intention of delving into it. Having said that, she had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll accompany you to Singapore on the weekend."
McGaro raised the corners of his lips, and a beautiful smile immediately appeared on his handsome face.
Tong Jiangxin was infected by the warm smile on his face, and her heart, which had been feeling vague, instantly became much brighter.
The two drove all the way from Central to Bona. When they entered, Li Mingyang and Liao Jianing were already there, and the four of them said hello.
Li Mingyang first said to Tong Jiangxin, "When did you come back? If Mike hadn't called me, I would have known."
Tong Jiangxin said sheepishly, "I've been back for a few days. The company has been very busy and I haven't had time to call you. My phone ran out of battery on a business trip a while ago. If something like this happens again in the future, you don't have to worry about me."
Li Mingyang nodded, and Liao Jianing changed the subject. She said, "Hey, can we have lamb chops tonight? I heard that there is a new chef in Bona, who turns out to be the chef of the Hyatt Regency Macau."
McGaro smiled and said, "You are quite well informed, I didn't even know it."
Liao Jianing raised her chin slightly and replied, "Who told you that you are the second young master of Asia Pacific and the one who is in charge of the store? You are not as clear as an outsider like me."
McGarloh smiled and said, "I can only say that you are too focused on eating, and the information in this regard is quite clear."
Liao Jianing replied, "I am focused on bona. After all, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will be victorious in any battle!"
McGaro raised his eyebrows deliberately and asked aloud, "Are you a drunkard who doesn't care about drinking?"
Liao Jianing replied casually, "Aren't you asking knowingly? I have always shown great interest in you. If you agree, I will marry into the Mai family immediately."
When McGaro heard this, he immediately said with an avoidant expression, "Hey, forget it, I can't bear it, you should ask Mingyang to take over for you."
Li Mingyang smiled lightly and said, "It's rare that Jia Ning likes a man. If I were you, I would follow her."
McGaro looked at Li Mingyang and said, "Please, I can't ask for more. Please become me quickly."
Tong Jiangxin listened to the three people's bickering, and the corners of her lips raised a nice curve. Only at this time did she feel that life was moving forward, instead of staying in the endless abyss.
The time the four of them eat together always passes quickly. Although Tong Jiangxin didn't talk much during the dinner, and Liao Jianing was basically the one talking, she was still very happy.
After dinner, before the two men could say anything, Liao Jianing spoke up first, "Just take Ming Yang back to me, and Mike will take Jiang Xin back."
McGaro didn't want it, so he immediately nodded and said, "Okay."
The four of them went out together. Tong Jiangxin said goodbye to Liao Jianing and Li Mingyang, and then got into McGallow's car.
Sitting in the car, McGullough turned the steering wheel and turned around, while Tong Jiangxin turned her head and looked out the window.
The car drove all the way to the middle of the mountain. On the way, McGaro said, "Jiang Xin, how long do we have to be friends before you feel you know me well enough to accept me?"
Tong Jiangxin didn't expect that McGaro would suddenly ask this. She was silent for a while, and then replied, "Mike, since you asked, I'll say it. I think it's good for us to be friends, okay...
…Always maintain the relationship of friends.”
McGaro looked forward. He was silent for much longer than she did. During this time, Tong Jiangxin gradually felt that she had spoken too frankly. Did she make McGaro unhappy?
She was just thinking about it when McGaro said, "Jiang Xin, is there anything that makes you feel embarrassed?"
Tong Jiangxin lowered her eyes slightly and stared at the bag on her lap. Hermes' limited edition was something you couldn't buy even if you had money. This was when the Tong family didn't have any trouble. She went to Paris to buy it. At that time, she was doing this kind of thing.
The thing seemed so ordinary, but now that I think about it, it seems like it was a lifetime ago.
With her red lips slightly parted, Tong Jiangxin said softly, "Mike, you also know my current situation. It's not suitable for us...".
McGarlo did not answer immediately, and Tong Jiangxin also remained silent. The car was driving on the spacious road, but suddenly at a certain moment, McGarlo turned the steering wheel, stepped on the brakes, and the car stopped on the side of the road.
