Chapter 1715: Please Get In The Car
“Really?” Zhao Ying was muddled throughout the whole cla.s.s. She did not look at the time, did not know what the cla.s.s was about, and did not know how long the cla.s.s lasted.
“It was twenty minutes later than usual!” said Sun Jie.
“Little Jie!” Fan Jinzhe followed Zhao Ying from behind. When he saw Sun Jie, he quickly smiled faintly at her, and posed in a way he thought looked stylish.
“Who allowed you to call me Little Jie?” Sun Jie frowned, “Am I close with you?”
” Ugh… I heard Zhao Ying call you that…” Originally, Fan Jinzhe wanted to pretend to be close with Sun Jie. However, he never expected that calling her “Little Jie” would make her displeased.
Sun Jie snorted lightly and did not care about Fan Jinzhe anymore. Instead, she told Zhao Ying, “Zhao Ying, let’s go.”
“En,” Zhao Ying nodded. She glanced at Fan Jinzhe though the corner of her eyes. She did not know what to do with him.
“You two want to eat together, right? Come on, let’s go together. It’s my treat,” Fan Jinzhe said elegantly.
“No need. We invited someone else,” Sun Jie glanced at Fan Jinzhe and rejected him.
” Oh, is that so!” When he saw how Sun Jie did not want to bring him along, Fan Jinzhe was still thick-skinned and said, “I have a car, and it’s at the parking lot. Where are you two going? Let me send you both there!”
This time, Sun Jie did not even respond to Fan Jinzhe. She just walked towards the parking lot.
Fan Jinzhe thought that Sun Jie had silently agreed to his suggestion. He felt happy, and obediently followed the two of them towards the parking lot.
While Fan Jinzhe was walking, he started calculating in his heart. After Sun Jie and Zhao Ying get into my car, I’ll try to convince them. When the time comes, they might even agree to let me eat with them!
Fan Jinzhe viewed Sun Jie’s so-called “invited someone else” as an excuse. If not, Zhao Ying would not just say that she had invited Sun Jie, and not mention anyone else.
Because of this, Fan Jinzhe was certain that the cunning Sun Jie was lying to him! Sun Jie’s astuteness left a deep impression on Fan Jinzhe, as he had experienced it before. Because of this, he had already given up on pursuing Sun Jie. He knew that he could never control a girl like Sun Jie. Zhao Ying, on the other hand, was more pure and soft.
He followed Sun Jie and Zhao Ying to the parking lot. Fan Jinzhe stepped ahead and ran in front of the two girls. After that, he raised the car key in his hands, and pressed on it while trying to show off. A Honda Accord let out a “du du” sound, and the car lights flashed two times.
“This is my car. Both of you, please get in!” Fan Jinzhe made a welcoming gesture to Sun Jie and Zhao Ying.
Sun Jie and Zhao Ying’s footsteps stopped, and they looked at each other. They realized the helplessness and amus.e.m.e.nt in each others’ gazes. After they looked at each other, they both continued to walk forward.
When Fan Jinzhe saw Sun Jie and Zhao Ying walking towards his car after they exchanged glances, he felt happy and quickly followed them.
However, when Sun Jie and Zhao Ying pa.s.sed by his car, they did not stop at all. Instead, they continued moving forward.
” Ah? What are you two doing? My car is here!” Fan Jinzhe was a little anxious and called out when he saw that Sun Jie and Zhao Ying did not sit in his car.
Sun Jie and Zhao Ying ignored him and continued to walk forward.
“Zhao Ying, Sun Jie, my car is here!” Fan Jinzhe slapped his car door and said, “It’s this car, the Honda Accord. It’s mine!”
Sun Jie was a little annoyed by Fan Jinzhe’s shouting. Originally, her car was still a distance away. She had no choice but to press on her car remote earlier.
A bit further away, a red Audi R8 beeped twice. Sun Jie and Zhao Ying hastened their footsteps and walked towards the red R8.
“This …” Fan Jinzhe was shocked. He blankly looked at the red Audi R8 that was far away. Although he did not know how much an R8 was worth, Fan Jinzhe was very clear that this car was not cheap due to its Iron Man design.
Fan Jinzhe felt that he was already considered rich in this school. He had his own company outside, and the car he usually drove was a Honda Accord which was worth two hundred thousand plus yuan. He could show off in front of girls already.
He originally thought that he could show it off in front of Sun Jie and Zhao Ying. However, he did not expect Sun Jie’s car to be of a higher cla.s.s than his! As he thought back to Sun Jie’s usual actions, Fan Jinzhe was certain that Sun Jie must be from a rich family, and she did not even put him in her eyes.
No wonder Sun Jie did not care about me at all. Fan Jinzhe sighed. However, he did not feel empty in his heart. Instead, he felt lucky that his main target was not Sun Jie.
It was because he had heard that some rich girls were very nasty, and their life was very messy. They would simply sleep with any guy and they would also record some videos and take some pictures. Fan Jinzhe would not feel safe with this kind of girl. It was too easy for her to cheat on him!
From his perspective, Sun Jie must be that type of person. If not, her chest wouldn’t be so big.
As for Zhao Ying, she looked much purer. Although Sun Jie was from a rich family, Fan Jinzhe was absolutely certain that Zhao Ying was born in a normal family.
Because of that, while his facial expression looked a little horrible, Fan Jinzhe did not back down after he saw Sun Jie’s Audi R8. At the very least, he could still show off in front of Zhao Ying.
Besides, Sun Jie is also solely relying on her family’s wealth. How is she comparable to such a talented person like me that started my own company outside? In fact, I’m very popular among girls in this school. However, ordinary ones can’t enter my eyes.
Fan Jinzhe gritted his teeth when he saw Sun Jie and Zhao Ying entering the red Audi R8. He entered his own car and followed them from behind. He wanted to keep following Sun Jie and Zhao Ying and find out where they were going to eat.
Fan Jinzhe felt that one must be thick-skinned to chase a girl. While this method was useless towards Sun Jie, it must be effective towards Zhao Ying!
Fan Jinzhe was not worried that he wouldn’t be able to catch up to Sun Jie. Although Sun Jie’s car was a sports car, this was an urban area. So what if it’s a sports car? With such heavy traffic, it doesn’t matter how fast a sports car can go.
“Little Jie, he’s following us.” Zhao Ying frowned when she saw Fan Jinzhe’s car following them from behind.
“Don’t care about it, just let him be.” Sun Jie thought to herself, If I wasn’t afraid of scaring Zhao Ying, I would immediately give Yang Ming a call. She believed that Fan Jinzhe’s outcome would be very satisfying.
“Oh.” Zhao Ying nodded, and did not care about Fan Jinzhe anymore. Instead, she started to think about the question that Yang Ming had asked.
“Zhao Ying, have you called him yet?” Sun Jie asked.
“Nope… I feel a little embarra.s.sed,” Zhao Ying hesitated for a moment and said while blus.h.i.+ng.
” Ah? That can’t be. I have already finished booking, and you haven’t called him yet?” Sun Jie was stupefied. “Zhao Ying, hurry up and give him a phone call. What time is it now? What if he has something to do? Won’t all of our preparations go to waste?”
“We… We haven’t been in touch for a long time…” Zhao Ying said softly. “I really don’t know how to start the conversation.”
“What’s difficult about it? Just say that you’re inviting him out for a meal,” said Sun Jie. “Don’t mention my matters first. Just invite him, and we’ll talk about it later!”
“Is that so…” Zhao Ying was still a little hesitant. “Then let me send him a text first…”
“Why can’t you just be straightforward?” Sun Jie couldn’t help but smile bitterly when she saw Zhao Ying’s expression. “There’s no use if the male initiates if you’re hesitant like this.”
” Ah , alright!” Zhao Ying finally took out her phone after being lectured by Sun Jie. She typed a text message and sent it.
Yang Ming was talking to Bao Sanli about the company’s future development in the Song Jiang International Hotel. Suddenly, his phone made a notification sound. Yang Ming glanced at it and realized that there was a new message.
“Are you free tonight?”
Yang Ming was shocked for a moment because the one that had sent the message was Zhao Ying! It had been a long time since Zhao Ying had contacted him. Although he had contacted Zhao Ying before online, she did not know that he was Yang Ming.
Because of this, Yang Ming was a little confused as to why Zhao Ying would suddenly text him. Theoretically, Zhao Ying’s personality shouldn’t be like this. With Zhao Ying’s personality, how is it possible for her to initiate contact with me?
She doesn’t even reply to the random messages I send her whenever I have nothing to do, so forget about her sending me a text first. At this moment, she even asked me if I’m free tonight.
Could it be that Zhao Ying sent it to the wrong person?
However, if she sent it wrongly, then who was it meant for? Could it be that Zhao Ying is dating someone else? Does that mean that she has a new boyfriend?
When he thought about this possibility, Yang Ming’s heart felt uncomfortable, as if a cat was scratching it.
Chapter 1716: Reservation
Could it be that Zhao Ying had lost confidence in me, and went into someone else’s embrace?
Yang Ming started to lose concentration when conversing with Bao Sanli.
“Brother Yang? You were talking about the escort company…” Bao Sanli stopped talking when he saw the listless Yang Ming who seemed to not be paying attention to his words. Instead, Bao Sanli asked, “Brother Yang, what’s wrong? What happened?”
“Ah?” Yang Ming immediately came back to his senses. He looked at Bao Sanli apologetically, and said, “It’s nothing. Let me send a text.”
“Alright. Then let me take a stroll around the hotel, Brother Yang.” Bao Sanli automatically stood up and backed out.
” En, go ahead.” Yang Ming casually waved his hand while thinking about Zhao Ying’s text.
Bao Sanli sighed faintly. He guessed that Yang Ming must have encountered some problems. However, since Yang Ming did not say anything, it was inappropriate for Bao Sanli to ask. Because of this, Bao Sanli chose to back out first. If Yang Ming really had any problems, then he would definitely call Bao Sanli.
Yang Ming hesitated for a while, and replied to Zhao Ying’s text, “What’s the matter?”
Yang Ming did not say if he was free or not but just asked Zhao Ying “what’s the matter”. With this, even if Zhao Ying had sent it to the wrong person, it would not be awkward.
If it was really meant for him, then Zhao Ying just had to clarify the reason why she sent it. If it wasn’t meant for him, then she could just ignore him.
At the very least, it would be more acceptable than if Zhao Ying replied that she sent it to the wrong person after Yang Ming said that he was free.
After a while, he received Zhao Ying’s reply text.
“Want to have dinner together?” Zhao Ying asked.
“En?” Yang Ming was shocked while looking at the phone in his hand. Zhao Ying did not send it to the wrong person? She really wanted to send it to me? She asked me if I’m free tonight, and asked me to eat with her?
Zhao Ying took the initiative and invited me out for dinner? Yang Ming was not used to this. He felt really confused. This isn’t Zhao Ying’s usual behavior.
If it was any other time, Yang Ming would definitely accept it without hesitation, and find out why she wanted to invite him. However, Yang Ming had already invited Sun Jie today. He had even reserved a room already in the restaurant. It wouldn’t be fair for Sun Jie if he were to call it off.
Besides, Yang Ming also missed Sun Jie. It had been a while since they were together alone.
After contemplating, Yang Ming decided to reject Zhao Ying’s offer.
“I’m not free tonight. I already have plans with someone else. Can it be some other day?” After he finished crafting the message, Yang Ming pressed the send b.u.t.ton.
Zhao Ying was waiting anxiously for Yang Ming’s reply. When her message notification sounded, Zhao Ying quickly pressed the read b.u.t.ton.
Zhao Ying was a little disappointed when she saw Yang Ming’s message. However, she felt like a burden had been lifted off her. Zhao Ying was not mentally prepared to meet Yang Ming even if he were to accept it.
“You sent it so long ago. How is it?” Sun Jie asked.
“He said that he had something to do tonight, and can’t make it…” Zhao Ying shrugged and said.
“Has something to do?” Sun Jie frowned after hearing it. “Who asked you to not invite him out earlier. At this time, his schedule must be fully booked.”
“Forget it then, let’s think about it next time. Go eat by yourself later. I won’t be following you,” said Zhao Ying.
“How can you do that?” Sun Jie shook her head. “How about this? You contact your boyfriend again and ask him to just show up. He doesn’t have to eat anything, but just stay there for a while.”
“He’s not my boyfriend!” Zhao Ying said while blus.h.i.+ng. “It’s not too good, right? Wouldn’t that be annoying him?”
“If you don’t annoy him, how do you know that he doesn’t care about you?” said Sun Jie. “Treat it as a test. As a girl, you should occasionally show some att.i.tude.”
“This…” Zhao Ying started to hesitate after hearing Sun Jie’s words. She didn’t know if she should follow Sun Jie’s suggestion.
“Hurry up and do it, we’ll reach the hotel very soon!” Sun Jie said, “Tell him that it’s at the Song Jiang International Restaurant. Just ask him to show up for a while. He doesn’t even have to stay there for a long time.”
“Then… ok then.” Zhao Ying finally nodded her head. She picked up her phone again and texted Yang Ming.
“Can you come here for a while later? It won’t take too long. You just have to show up. My friend wants to see you.”
Yang Ming didn’t know whether to cry or laugh when he saw Zhao Ying’s message. Zhao Ying’s friend wants to see me? What does this mean? Could it be w.a.n.g Xiaoyan? Yang Ming was just simply guessing. This friend would naturally not be w.a.n.g Xiaoyan.
However, no matter what, it was rare for Zhao Ying to beg him. Besides, it wouldn’t take a long time. Yang Ming had no reason to reject her. He then sent a text that read, “Where is it? I’ll try to come if I’m free. If I can make it, I’ll be there.”
Zhao Ying saw Yang Ming’s reply, and texted back, “It’s at the Song Jiang International Hotel.”
“Song Jiang International Hotel?” Yang Ming was shocked again when he saw Zhao Ying’s text. It can’t be, right? Zhao Ying also invited me to the Song Jiang International Restaurant? If that’s so, then it’s not inappropriate for me to go visit Zhao Ying.
Yang Ming replied after he made up his mind, “Sure, let’s contact each other through text later.”
Zhao Ying took in a deep breath when he saw Yang Ming’s text, and she didn’t know what she was feeling. Is it excitement, or is it nervousness?
“What’s wrong? Did he agree or not?” Sun Jie asked when she saw Zhao Ying’s strange expression.
“He agreed, and will show up later,” said Zhao Ying.
“Then that’s fine. I’ll help you test him, and see if he really likes you or not,” said Sun Jie. “However, since he agreed to come to meet you for a while, it’s apparent that he cares about you.”
“Oh …” Zhao Ying replied, and didn’t know how to answer.
Sun Jie drove to the Song Jiang International Hotel, with Fan Jinzhe always following behind them. When he saw Sun Jie’s car driving into the International Hotel’s parking lot, he was secretly shocked. As expected from a girl from a rich family. Even I rarely visit such a high-cla.s.s place. I only come here if it’s for business meetings or some other important stuff .
However, for Zhao Ying, he was willing to even intrude into a tiger’s den [1]. Such a place which required a lot of money was naturally not a problem.
Sun Jie saw Fan Jinzhe following them inside, but she did not mind him at all. Yang Ming had already reserved a room. Can Fan Jinzhe intrude into our room later?
If he were to really intrude, then he would die a horrible death. Yang Ming would not let him off the bat very easily.
Sun Jie found a parking s.p.a.ce and parked her car there. Fan Jinzhe quickly found a parking spot near Sun Jie’s parking spot. It was not dinner time yet, so there were still many spots available in the hotel’s parking lot.
Sun Jie and Zhao Ying came down from the car and walked towards the hotel. Fan Jinzhe followed them from a distance. He wanted to find an appropriate chance to go up and talk with them.
He didn’t expect that Sun Jie and Zhao Ying would dine in a private room. He a.s.sumed that the two of them would definitely eat in the general hall. After all, there were only two of them. It was impossible for them to want a room. Even if Sun Jie was a rich girl, there was no use.
Fan Jinzhe had attended a few business meetings here before, and knew how high the demand for the International Hotel’s rooms was. If they did not make a reservation beforehand, then they would never be able to book it. He was waiting for Sun Jie and Zhao Ying to sit down so that he could approach the two of them. He believed that Sun Jie would not be able to chase him away in public. When the time comes, everything would flow naturally.
“Welcome, ladies.”
A waiter welcomed them politely after Sun Jie and Zhao Ying entered the hotel.
“Are you two staying here or having a meal? Have you made a reservation?” A waiter asked.
“Room 307,” Sun Jie told the waiter.
“Alright, please wait for a moment.” The waiter brought Sun Jie and Zhao Ying to the front of the computer, and entered the room number. After that, he asked, “Was it reserved by someone named Mr. Yang?”
“Yes,” Sun Jie nodded.
“Alright. Please turn left after you exit the elevator. There’s a waiter on the third floor. If you can’t find the room, you can ask him.” The waiter made a welcoming gesture to Sun Jie and Zhao Ying.
