Changyu raised her head when she heard her name to look at the young woman who just entered.
She had noticed this young "Santa" ever since she came in and it seemed like she was actually here for Jianjun.
She had decided not to pay much mind to it and surf the net instead. Aside from the Merry Christmas wishes from the government, big organisations and others, the trending news was that of Sara and the Lis.
She had been looking at a picture of herself and Sara that was taken inside the hall.
Most of the comments was about her "dope" dress sense and many wishes from people to be like her when they grew up.
Some others also commented on how both women looked very much alike, asking jocularly whether Sara was her long lost daughter.
The comment had brought s smile to her face as she thought..."I do have a long lost daughter. But it"s not her"
"Is that..... Miss Song Changyu?" It was at that point that Changyu raised her head to look at Miss Kang.
It had been a while since she last heard the "Song" name and hearing it right now, irked her.
"It"s Miss Changyu." She corrected with a forced smile.
"Oh my G.o.d! So it was really you in that picture with Sara!" She used her hands to cover her mouth in surprise.
"I"ve never imagined to see you in my entire life. Can I sit?" She asked politely with a big smile on her face and didn"t wait for Changyu"s permission before she plomped down on the chair opposite her.
Changyu didn"t have any reason to not allow her and so she didn"t find any problem in the woman"s intrusion. "I"m Miss Kang... Sorry.. Kang Xiuying"
Sara used a hand to cover her face in frustration and embarra.s.sment. What was this woman doing right now? It was bad enough that she came at the wrong time, she also had to sit beside her?
Sje suddenly caught sight of Jianjun coming out of the kitchen. She didn"t know what to do. And she realised she didn"t have to do anything. She could just allow things flow smoothly.
"I"m done for now. Put up the "Open" sign in thirty minutes. Before that, we can take deliv—" He was about to say the word "Delivery" before his eyes landed on the two women that were sitting down on the table beside Sara.
"Mr w.a.n.g!" Miss Kang stood up excitedly and shuffled to where he was standing to greet him.
"Congratulations on your sales. Sara told me you"ve been doing quite well. Here, this is yours. Merry Christmas" Miss Kang took out a little wrapped gift from the handbag she had been carrying.
His eyes still didn"t leave Changyu who was also staring right back at him and Miss Kang.
When Miss Kang saw that he was looking at Changyu, she felt a little pang of jealousy.
Of course, the woman was very pretty. She was in her mid fourties but herself who was in her mid thirties felt threatened by her. So it was normal for Jianjun to be attracted to her right?
"You know her? She is Miss Son.. Miss Changyu. I was really surprised to see her here. I"ve seen a lot of news about her and didn"t quite believe it when I saw her pictures with Sara."
Jianjun simply said an "hmmm" to Miss Kang before asking Sara to follow him into the kitchen.
When they got there, Lisa was just about leaving after doing the dishes so as soon as she left, Jianjun closed the door and berated her.
"What is that woman doing here?"
"What do you mean that woman? She is Miss Changyu and she came to eat." Sara feigned ignorance.
"Don"t play dumb with me. The closed sign had been up there for a while now. So she possibly wouldn"t have been able to come in if you hadn"t opened the door for her and invited her in. And what was Miss Kang saying about taking a picture with her?"
Jianjun wasn"t a news person. He had only heard from Sara that she uploaded a video to invite people to the restaurant after Li Sun"s birthday party.
She hadn"t told him much about it and had only told him that most people agreed to come over to the restaurant. She had also purposely kept the information about herself and Changyu hanging out together.
"We met at the hotel yesterday. She was a guest there. Now that we"re here, please make a serving of General Tso"s Chicken. I"ll go tell her you"ll be coming with it soon" Without waiting for her father to complain or ask any more questions, she turned to leave. And as she walked out of the kitchen, a smile appeared on her face.
After about five minutes, they all saw Jianjun come out with a tray of food and a cold expression on his face.
"Your food is here!" Sara announced to Changyu who had been chatting with her.
Thankfully, they had been able to get rid of Miss Kang who was a total chatterbox. Sara had been surprised to see her talking so much since she always comported herself especially when Jianjun was around.
The thing Changyu hated the most was noise and so she had politely asked Miss Kang to excuse her, saying that she had something private to discuss with Sara. And thank goodness she had done so.
Sara looked at where Miss Kang was sitting with Joreen and Bilike and saw that the woman"s eyes was still focused on Changyu.
She shook her head for the poor woman.
As Jianjun carefully placed the dish in front of Changyu, he tried his best not to look at her at all. Changyu crossed her arms around her chest and also pretended like he wasn"t there.
Jianjun frowned at the thought of Sara being friends with this woman. When did they get so close without his knowing?
He knew one thing for sure, this... was really a bad idea!
"Where are you going to?" Sara asked when he turned after serving Changyu the food.
He turned back to look at her questioningly. Even Changyu was wondering what this girl was up to.
"What do you mean by where am I going to? I have to serve us lunch before we open again"
"No." She shook her head. "She is a special customer. If one thousand people hears that she"s eating here, nine hundred people are going to appear here the next minute. The other hundred would be involved in an accident because of overexcitement to see her. So you see, she has to give you a review. Let"s sit and wait till she tastes it and tell us what she thinks about it." She tapped the seat beside her for him to sit down.
Sara looked at Miss Kang"s direction and saw her frown while Joreen stylishly gave her a thumbs up.
"Miss Lisa can serve us lunch right?" She threw the question at Lisa who was busy making some notes behind the counter.
Lisa nodded happily at the idea since she really loved handling foods.
"You see... So sit with us"
He pursed his lips and exhaled loudly before looking at the others inside. He didn"t want to create a scene. Besides, if he rejected, it would only make the others guess that there was something wrong with his behavioir and become curious as to why he had refused.
"You don"t mind right?" For the first time, Sara asked for Changyu"s opinion.
Changyu looked at her and then, up at Jianjun. "Whatever he decides" She simply said before lifting her chopstick.
