A few minutes later, An Lan came back, her expression obviously not as good as before.
I didn't ask her who made the call or if something happened.
Because if she wanted me to know, she would tell me. Obviously she didn't want me to know.
An Lan remained depressed for the rest of the day and had no intention of eating.
Finally she picked up her handbag and said to me apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry and have to leave first."
"Did something happen?" I asked her.
An Lan was stunned and shook his head at me and said, "It's not a big deal. I'll tell you when I get the chance."
Having said that, I didn't feel like asking any more questions, so I nodded and asked her to deal with it first.
After An Lan left, there were still many dishes on the table that were not touched at all. I was not in the mood to continue eating, but it felt like it was wasted again.
After asking the waiter, the waiter actually said that he couldn't take it away.
This is the case with private cuisine restaurants. They have strict protection of their dishes and are not allowed to be taken out of the restaurant.
In fact, this is understandable. If it can be taken out casually, it would not be called private cuisine.
But it would be a pity to throw away such an expensive dish. I can't eat it alone.
After thinking about it, I was going to find someone to eat with me. The first thing I thought of was Li Feng, because he is my only friend.
In addition to him, there is also Xu Hai, the owner of the restaurant in front of my former community. But this is the time for dining, so he must be pretty cool.
I had no choice but to call Li Feng, but this guy turned me down and said that a cousin of his was here and was having dinner with him.
Of course this is understandable, so I had no choice but to call Liang Jing on WeChat.
She quickly got through and asked me, "Is something wrong?"
"I'll treat you to dinner, will you come?"
"Hey! Why are you thinking of inviting me to dinner? Are you planning some bad ideas?"
"Just say whether you're coming or not. Why are you talking nonsense?"
"Come, where are you?"
"I'll send you the address later."
After hanging up the phone, I sent her the address and asked her to hurry up.
She was really quick, arriving in half an hour, and she was obviously dressed up specially.
Wearing a shirt, which is very popular this year, with a pleated skirt underneath, and a pair of white shoes, the whole person looks quite innocent.
Before I sat down, she asked me in disbelief: "Aren't you poor? Why do you invite me to eat at such a high-end place?"
I smiled bitterly and said, "It was invited by someone else, but she left without eating much."
Liang Jing suddenly looked unhappy, pouted and said, "I am the one who will take over?"
"It's okay if you think so."
Liang Jing gave me a hateful look, but looking at the delicious food on the table, she sat down, picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
I looked at her and said, "You're so fast! It's only been half an hour since I called you. You don't live close to here, right?"
"It's not close, but I happen to be nearby. Do you think it's a coincidence?"
I smiled and said, "That's quite a coincidence."
While eating, Liang Jing asked: "Do you have any wine? Let's have some."
An Lan and I didn't ask for a drink before, but now that Liang Jing is here, we kind of want to drink.
But I just looked at the prices on the menu, and the cheapest wine costs sixty or seventy.
So I said to Liang Jing: "What are you drinking? Just drink water."
Liang Jing didn't care at all, she picked up the menu on the table and started reading it.
"Oh! It's so expensive!"
“You order and pay yourself!”
Liang Jing rolled her eyes at me and said, "Look at your dirty tricks, you invite me over for dinner and I have to pay for it myself. Is that ridiculous?"
"I invited you to dinner, not to drinks."
Liang Jing muttered, "I will give it to you if I give it. Sister, I have money now."
"Hey! Are you looking for big money? Then quickly return my two hundred thousand to me."
Liang Jing was immediately frightened and said: "That's not that much. I just signed a contract with a company today, and they are going to package me as an internet celebrity and give me a basic salary of 20,000 yuan a month."
I looked at Liang Jing, laughed, and said, "Isn't it right? You? Internet celebrity?"
"Why, you look down on me?"
I chuckled: "What are your advantages?"
"Sister, I am naturally beautiful. This is my advantage. You have also seen my video. It has been viewed more than five million times."
I immediately took out my phone and clicked on Douyin to take a look. Liang Jing’s dancing video had 320,000 likes and more than 5,000 comments.
Is it possible that she is really going to get angry?
What kind of world is this! A scumbag can just post a video and become so popular.
Liang Jing ordered a bottle of kumquat wine worth 168 yuan, poured it for me and said, "Come on! Let's celebrate."
I picked up the wine glass and clinked it with her, and said with a smile: "Don't be too happy too early. It's not easy to become an Internet celebrity. Look at the many Internet celebrities in the past two years, has any of them remained popular?"
Liang Jing said nonchalantly: "There's no point in continuing to be popular, as long as it takes a while to find enough money."
I gave Liang Jing a thumbs up. This mentality is really suitable for taking this path.
After drinking a glass of wine, Liang Jing asked me again: "By the way, you have divorced Xiao Wei, what are your plans next?"
"This doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, does it?"
"We are friends! What's wrong with friends?"
"You are really putting your own face on it. Who told you that we are friends?"
I don’t know when, I got used to talking to Liang Jing like this, and she never gets angry.
Liang Jing smiled and said: "If you are not a friend, then why are you inviting me to dinner in the middle of the night? Do you have other intentions?"
"Guess?" I said with a bad smile.
Liang Jing frowned immediately, glanced at me and said, "It's so vulgar, why don't you be more direct?"
"Where are you thinking? Can you stop thinking so dirty?"
Liang Jing rolled her eyes at me, but quickly replied: "You are overthinking. I studied in Spring and Autumn Period, so I am very pure."
I couldn't help laughing anymore, not to mention that I could laugh from the bottom of my heart every time I was with Liang Jing.
This girl seems to have a magical power that can make me forget the troubles in life and forget all the love and hatred.
…
After dinner, it was already half past ten in the evening.
Liang Jing and I were walking side by side on the street. She really looked like my wife, and there were always envious glances around her.
Liang Jing is really not bad looking. I used to think she was not as good-looking as Xiao Wei.
That was just because I was still in love with Xiao Wei at that time and thought Xiao Wei was the most beautiful woman in the world.
But now I think Xiao Wei is extremely ugly, especially mentally.
Although Liang Jing is not a good woman, at least she will not cheat like Xiao Wei!
Of course, I will definitely not fall in love with her. It’s not that I’m pretending to be innocent, but that women like Liang Jing are only suitable for being friends, not husband and wife.
Having said that, I don't want to get married anymore.
Marriage is really a tomb for me now. I just crawled out of it, but I don’t want to go back in.?
