Chapter 232 Dinner Party
Chapter 232 Dinner Party
Nan Sheng saw it all but didn't expose it.
It was not until Jiang Yue got off the subway station that Song Xiao turned around and walked to Nan Sheng. He looked down at Nan Sheng.
Nan Sheng then spoke: "I told you, she provoked me."
Song Xiao sighed silently, and then he held Nan Sheng's hand. Nan Sheng looked down at their holding hands without saying a word.
"Go back first." Song Xiao responded.
Nan Sheng hummed, and Song Xiao continued, "I'll tell you about other things when we get back."
"Okay." Nan Sheng nodded.
Soon, Song Xiao brought Nan Sheng back to the restaurant.
When the two came back hand in hand, they were inevitably teased. Song Xiao held Nan Sheng's hand the whole time and looked at his classmates with a smile.
Nan Sheng glanced at Song Xiao from the corner of her eye. There was a faint smile in his eyes, although it was very faint, but it reached the corner of his eyes.
Only with Song Xiao like this did Nan Sheng gradually relax.
Nan Sheng didn't say anything, but was quiet.
At 10 o'clock in the evening, the party ended and Song Xiao took Nan Sheng into the car and they drove home.
On the way home, Song Xiao held Nan Sheng's hand with one hand and controlled the steering wheel with the other.
Nan Sheng didn't urge him, but was waiting for Song Xiao to speak first.
After a long while, at a traffic light, Song Xiao said calmly: "Jiang Yue has severe asthma, which then caused a heart attack."
"I know." Nan Sheng responded.
It was also for this reason that Song Xiao brought Jiang Yue with him, and also because something happened to the Jiang family.
So there was no need for Song Xiao to explain, Nan Sheng knew it clearly.
"Later, when we were in New York, Jiang Yue was diagnosed with a brain tumor, and her condition wasn't good." Song Xiao continued, "So Jiang Yue's temper became a little weird and paranoid. Given my relationship with the Jiang family, it's hard to ignore Jiang Yue. It's best if she can figure it out. Now that she has figured it out, I can't just ignore her."
As he spoke, Song Xiao paused slightly and looked at Nan Sheng.
Nan Sheng did not avoid Song Xiao's gaze.
"Do you think I don't believe you?" Song Xiao asked Nan Sheng in a low voice.
Nan Sheng really believed this, but she didn't say anything on the surface: "I didn't say that, don't take it personally."
Song Xiao chuckled softly, "I'm not disbelieving you. I know you disdain lying. If you really don't like someone, you'll just take action instead of pretending to be innocent."
Thinking of this, Song Xiao couldn't help laughing out loud.
He thought of his previous life, when he met Nan Sheng again in New York. Nan Sheng had just arrived at that time and her English was not very good.
She encountered racial discrimination in the mall. In this situation, everyone just endures it. After all, you are an outsider and an international student.
But Nan Sheng turned around and swung something to hit the other person, and directly asked him, "Are you discriminating?"
Here, racial discrimination is a very serious matter, so after the incident, the other party can only apologize.
Nan Sheng didn't care and left with a blank expression.
Therefore, Nan Sheng's temper makes it impossible for her to lie.
Song Xiao's words surprised Nan Sheng, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly: "You know me so well?"
"Well, a boyfriend always has to understand his girlfriend." Song Xiao responded seriously.
These words instantly made Nan Sheng feel better.
She still snorted proudly, but her slender hands tightened around Song Xiao's, as if she was acting coquettishly.
Song Xiao responded.
Then he continued slowly, "I went to check on Jiang Yue first because I was afraid she would get emotional and upset. She couldn't get excited in her current condition, so I couldn't speak at that time. My words would easily upset her."
Nan Sheng listened and said "oh" in a proud and arrogant manner.
But after hearing Song Xiao's explanation, Nan Sheng felt relieved: "Hmph, I'll let you go today and not bother with you anymore."
Song Xiao also cooperated: "Thank you, girlfriend, for not making a fuss with me."
Nan Sheng stared at Song Xiao and said, "Song Xiao, why didn't I know you were so smooth-talking before?"
"Yes, assign people." Song Xiao responded again.
The car just stopped at the door, and the conversation between the two ended.
Song Xiao parked the car and got out with Nan Sheng.
Nan Sheng was very obedient, but she couldn't explain why. The uneasiness weighing on her heart was always there, making her feel vaguely uneasy.
At least Nan Sheng didn't know about Jiang Yue's situation.
But in Nan Sheng's opinion, she always felt that Jiang Yue's matter was a time bomb that could disfigure her at any time.
Nan Sheng remained calm on the surface.
Soon, the two walked towards the house quietly.
After entering the apartment, Song Xiao sent Nan Sheng back to her room and said good night to her.
Nan Sheng put her arms around Song Xiao's waist and looked up at him.
Nan Sheng's eyes were filled with affection. Song Xiao chuckled softly and lowered his head to kiss Nan Sheng on the lips. "Is this all right? You should pack up and go to bed early. You still have to go to language school tomorrow morning."
Nan Sheng let out an "oh", and the sound was very long.
Song Xiao tapped Nan Sheng's forehead and was about to turn around and leave when his phone suddenly vibrated.
Nan Sheng suddenly became nervous.
She had already gone through all the bloody plots in her mind.
I intuitively thought that the call was from Jiang Yue.
After all, what just happened is still fresh in my mind.
Song Xiao didn't say anything. He looked down at the incoming call and then became quiet.
The call was from Zhou Jingyan's assistant He Chen.
Song Xiao picked up the phone calmly: "Mr. He, is there something you need from me so late at night?"
Very polite attitude, neither humble nor arrogant.
He Chen smiled and said, "It was my mistake. I was supposed to inform you this afternoon, but I was busy and only remembered to call you now."
"You say." Song Xiao responded.
However, when Nan Sheng heard He Chen's name, she suddenly relaxed.
At least it wasn't Jiang Yue's call.
But inexplicably, Jiang Yue's lack of phone calls also made Nan Sheng feel uneasy. She always felt that something was on the verge of getting out of control, and it always caught people off guard.
Nan Sheng calmed herself down but didn't leave because they were still holding hands.
After everything that happened in the previous life, even if it was a hand holding like this, Nan Sheng didn't want to be the one to let go.
So Nan Sheng just stood there.
He Chen's voice came to Song Xiao's ears, and he listened carefully.
"Look, there's a dinner party at Zhou's tomorrow night, and Mr. Zhou wants you to go. After all, most of the people coming are related to construction, and someone at Zhou's will introduce you to these people." He Chen said directly, "You can bring a female companion to the dinner party, so you can see how to arrange it."
This is not a consultation, but an order.
Zhou Jingyan placed Song Xiao in the Zhou family to serve them, not to keep him idle.
Song Xiao also knew very well that if he wanted to grow stronger, he must have countless resources, and Zhou's was the best resource library.
So Song Xiao would not refuse.
