Chapter 360 - 353: Did She Eat Crane Crown Red or Something?!

Xu Nianying had a smile on her face.
But it was a sinister smile, and Chen Xixi felt that the other person’s intentions were far from benign.
Chen Xixi really couldn’t understand how Xu Nianying could have the audacity to act as if nothing happened, offering to take her for a ride with a smile.
Perhaps since he wasn’t the victim, he could afford to be so shamelessly thick-skinned.
Chen Xixi smiled faintly: "I’d like to visit your family’s ancestral grave."
Xu Nianying frowned: "?"
Chen Xixi continued: "I feel like digging."
Xu Nianying: "???"
Xu Nianying’s face immediately turned cold.
How could Xu Nianying not understand these obvious insults?
Seeing his reaction, Chen Xixi’s eyes curved up, and she said with a smile: "Just kidding, you wouldn’t haggle over this with a girl, would you? May I ask who you are?"
"Jinyuan’s friend."
Xu Nianying really had to force himself to talk to her, if he wasn’t afraid of Zhou Jinyuan continuing to hassle him, he would have definitely turned hostile right away!
Chen Xixi tilted her chin toward a white camper van on the side of the road, "Oh, no trouble needed, I’m going to go with my coworker."
The brand sponsors invited them for a meal, and she and Jiang Xingze were going together.
Even if she was not going with Jiang Xingze, she wouldn’t want to get into Xu Nianying’s car - first, for fear of dirtiness, and second, lest Xu Nianying trap her.
"Alright then." Xu Nianying sighed with a hint of regret, and then took out a business card from his pocket, handing it to Chen Xixi, "Still, if you ever need anything, you can contact me. After all, Jinyuan’s friends are also my friends, and Jinyuan is about to become my brother-in-law, so naturally, I should take good care of his friends."
Brother-in-law?
Xu Nianying must be daydreaming, right here in her presence.
If the rich aunt wasn’t worried about Zhou Jinyuan being unable to find a wife, why would she spend a lot of money to ask her for the inconvenience of taking extra care of Zhou Jinyuan?
Talking about brother-in-law! If Xu Nianying even dared to say he was to be a brother-in-law, she might believe him a tiny bit!
Moreover, Zhou Jinyuan didn’t say he was that close to Xu Nianying.
If they were really that close, why would he help her?
But... Xu Nianying saying this was thought-provoking, even if Zhou Jinyuan really had some thoughts about Xu Nianying’s sister, what did it have to do with her?
Could she stop their freedom to love?
Moreover, she had no reason to do that, right? She wasn’t crazy, to bizarrely stop Zhou Jinyuan from dating.
It was really strange.
Even if he wanted to sow discord, he probably got the reasons all wrong, right?
Chen Xixi smiled as she accepted the business card, and said politely: "Thank you, remember to invite me to your wedding feast... Oh, and if there’s a funeral at home, you can invite me too. I just love banquets."
Xu Nianying’s face grew darker and darker: "???" Has this mouth eaten Crane Crown Red?!
So poisonous!
Could it be that Chen Xixi’s family has already obtained concrete evidence showing that it was their family who pulled strings behind the scenes?
Impossible, he had asked his father yesterday, and his family had not intervened in that affair of the past at all. Even if the Chen Family knew, they just had suspicions, no concrete evidence.
This included Zhou Jinyuan, who had been trying to catch him out because there was no evidence.
Xu Nianying forced a magnanimous smile and ground his teeth as he reminded her: "You should have a limit even when joking. If it’s me, it’s fine, I’m generous and don’t hold grudges. But if it was someone else, you might not be so lucky."
Chen Xixi’s eyes curved slightly, and a harmless smile appeared on her fair face, acting naïve and ignorant: "I’m not joking this time, I am treating you as a friend by speaking the truth, isn’t that how friends should get along?"
Xu Nianying really had enough; he initially intended to drive a wedge in the relationship between Chen Xixi and Zhou Jinyuan, but instead, he ended up being infuriated by Chen Xixi!
Conversing with Chen Xixi for this mere two minutes nearly exhausted all the patience he had in his life!
Damn it!
He’s practically as infuriating as Zhou Jinyuan!
Xu Nianying forced a dry chuckle while clenching his molars: "Since you’re still busy, I’ll take my leave now. See you next time."
Next time they meet, he’s determined to make this damn girl beg for mercy on her knees!
Isn’t she all talk? He’s actually quite looking forward to seeing her plead with that mouth of hers, the scene will definitely be quite entertaining!
Chen Xixi watches as Xu Nianying drives away, then looks down at the business card in her hand.
The card only has a number on it, devoid of any other information.
She turns around and walks to the white RV, asking Jiang Xingze to wait for her a few minutes.
Afterwards, she heads into the public restroom across the street, sees the words "Local Dating, Friendship, Generous Reward for Childbearing" written on the door, and sticks Xu Nianying’s business card there.
...
The restaurant the brand sponsors have chosen is a renowned seven-star hotel in Hai City.
When Chen Xixi and Jiang Xingze arrive, there are several people Chen Xixi doesn’t recognize present.
They are likely high-level executives from Brand A.
One of the middle-aged leaders smiles, raising his glass to drink with Chen Xixi.
It would be impolite to refuse a drink upon a first meeting.
After Chen Xixi drinks one glass, the middle-aged leader encourages her to drink a second and third, which seems like they’re on the course of getting her drunk.
Drinking excessively at the dinner table doesn’t necessarily mean any under-the-table dealings; it might just be for the sake of a lively atmosphere.
By the second glass, before Chen Xixi can speak, Jiang Xingze steps in to take it for her.
The middle-aged leader glances at Jiang Xingze and clicks his tongue lightly, "What’s this about? Don’t be a spoil-sport. Xixi and I were enjoying our drinks!"
Jiang Xingze smiles and says, "This young lady is new to the industry and hasn’t experienced this kind of setting much. She can’t hold her liquor well, so I’ll drink with you instead."
This is President Zhou’s woman, she shouldn’t be bullied here. After all, Zhou Jinyuan’s concert tours are financed by his investments.
The middle-aged leader’s gaze gradually changes, then he reveals an ambiguous smile, "Alright then, let’s drink!"
Chen Xixi, watching Jiang Xingze block the drinks for her, thinks to herself, who says there are no good people in the entertainment circle? A good person is right here before her!
Although it’s very likely that Jiang Xingze is doing this out of consideration for Zhou Jinyuan.
Chen Xixi is once again thankful for her younger self for securing such a powerful childhood friend!
From now on, she can consider herself to have connections in high society!
Then, another of her connections, who hadn’t contacted her for a long time, suddenly resurrects like a zombie and messages her.
Jin Cheng: "How have you been lately? Has anyone in the circle been bullying you?"
Chen Xixi lightly taps on her phone screen, quickly replying: "No, how’s it going in Germany? I heard you’re working?"
Jin Cheng, wearing an apron and sitting in the kitchen, looks at the caring message from Chen Xixi, who is far away in China, and feels moved.
For such a long time, his Uncle hasn’t sent a single caring message, but Chen Xixi has taken the initiative to care about him!
And she even made a point to ask about his work!
What does this imply!
It implies that he holds a very significant place in Chen Xixi’s heart!
Jin Cheng’s lips curl up, excitedly replying: "Yes, working to enrich life experiences, but I’m planning to take a few days off in January. I’ll treat you to a meal when I return to the country."
Chen Xixi: "Sure! Contact me when you’re back in the country!"
Jin Cheng: "Alright!"
At this moment, Jin Cheng can hardly wait to fly back home!
He puts away his phone, stands up, and walks back to the greasy sink, looking at the plates full of leftover food, and puts on plastic gloves.
Life suddenly has direction, and even dishwashing feels invigorating!
