Bright time

"I'm sorry, my honorable lady." The waiter standing at the entrance of the high-end French restaurant bowed politely to Le Ying, "Your current state seems inappropriate to enter this restaurant."

Le Ying blinked her eyes, and didn't force herself, just smiled: "Oh, okay."

After more than half an hour's drive, Leying was already starving to the point of being a "human being" and exhausted like a dog.She glanced around and found that there was a western European-style bench on the other side of the entrance of the restaurant. She immediately sat on it without temperament and took a breath first.

Of course the waiter at the door saw it.

Although his expression didn't change at all, still with that very polite smile, Ke Leying still saw something else in his eyes——

For example, contempt.

Le Ying didn't feel angry at all, on the contrary she was very funny.Think about why the waiter called her "this honorable lady" just now... She couldn't help complaining from the bottom of her heart: If she was really a "noble lady", she wouldn't be stopped at the door. let in.

However, even though she was rejected, Le Ying was not in a hurry.

Anyway, it was Bai Youning who invited her to dinner, and it wasn't her who invited Bai Youning to dinner. Who made Bai Youning insist on asking her out at such a place, and it just happened to bump into her "simplistic" attire.It's just that even if Le Ying is willing to wait, her hungry stomach can't wait any longer.Le Ying thought about it, but she still had to call Bai Youning first.However, she had just taken out her mobile phone when she saw that the screen of the mobile phone was on again, and the notification of the incoming call still showed the strange number from before.

"Hey……"

"Miss Le? I don't know if you are..."

"Oh." Of course Le Ying knew what the other party wanted to ask, so she interrupted him first, "I've already arrived at the door. It's just..."

"But what?"

"It's just..." Le Ying sighed intentionally, and raised her voice slightly, "The guard at the door won't let me in." She glanced at the waiter standing at the door from the corner of her eye as she spoke.The waiter was from a high-end restaurant, so he would naturally maintain a good quality and state at all times, but when he heard Le Ying say the word "gatekeeper", he still couldn't help showing his strength, and the corner of his mouth smiled Twitched slightly.

Le Ying was about to laugh out loud in her heart, but she remained serious on the surface.

"Then..." The person on the phone hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Please ask Miss Le to wait at the door for a while, and I will come out to greet you."

Hearing this, Leying suddenly became playful, she thought to herself, Bai Youning called her to meet her in such a boring and boring place after a day of tossing, it was really hard, so why not... Take this opportunity to "play" with that goddess Bai Youning.

"Okay, I'm waiting."

Le Ying showed a sly smile, of course, the other party couldn't see it at all.

When Bai Youning's manager said "wait a moment", Le Ying really only made Le Ying wait for less than a minute.Soon, a middle-aged man in a neat suit walked out of the French restaurant.After the man walked out, he whispered a few words to the waiter standing at the door.Although Le Ying couldn't hear what he said clearly, she could guess that this man should be the brokerage assistant who contacted her.Sure enough, after the man finished talking, he stood at the door and looked around for a while, and then walked towards Le Ying who was on the bench.

"Ms. Le, hello." The middle-aged man smiled politely at her, and stretched out his hand, "I'm Fred, Miss Bai Youning's managerial assistant."

"Hello."

Le Ying nodded and shook hands with him meaningfully.

"Miss Le..." Presumably this man named Fred also noticed Le Ying's inappropriate attire, he hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Excuse me for being rude, Miss Le's attire doesn't seem quite right Fit into this restaurant.”

"Yes."

Le Ying smiled and nodded at him.

"Then..." Fred, the experienced brokerage assistant, quickly regained his composure and began to propose, "Miss Bai Youning will arrive soon. Before that, Miss Le..."

"Oh." Le Ying nodded, "So she hasn't arrived yet."

"Miss Bai Youning will be here soon."

Fred emphasized.

"Since she hasn't arrived yet, it's inconvenient for me to enter this restaurant..." Le Ying also had her suggestion, "Why don't we go to another place to eat? Anyway, Bai Youning also said that we are just having a meal Light meal. I guess she didn't ask me out just for dinner, did she? So it doesn't really matter what you eat, does it, Mr. Fred."

"This..." Fred was a little embarrassed, but of course he also saw what Le Ying meant.He was the first person to contact Le Ying, and he also mentioned that he was eating at this high-end French restaurant, so Le Ying should not be ignorant of the importance of etiquette and dress.In the end, Fred sighed and suggested again: "If not, I'll try to communicate with the restaurant first."

"Ok."

Le Ying said it was free.

But Bai Youning was so late that she still hasn't come, and only sent a small assistant to dismiss her, which is considered too extreme.

Other things are fine, but being hungry is really worrying.

Le Ying glanced around. There is a high-end business district nearby, and there are some magnificently decorated storefronts. It seems that there should be nothing that can temporarily satisfy your hunger.

"Mr. Fred." Le Ying shouted again, "You go ahead, I'll go for a walk."

That's right, Le Ying drove away from this expensive location, and found another place by familiarity: the most crowded and busiest place in the entire city center - Snack Street.

Le Ying was very fortunate that she was not too popular in the entertainment industry, so she found a place to park, grabbed a peaked cap, and walked into the most crowded place.Soon, she grabbed a handful of skewers in her left hand, and a bag of snack boxes in her right hand, which contained milk tea, octopus balls, fried rice cakes, salted crispy chicken, fried tofu, and so on.Satisfied, Le Ying found an open-air bench and sat down. Just as she was about to enjoy the food, her cell phone rang.

Le Ying subconsciously thought it was the "Goddess of Lateness" Bai Youning, but when she listened carefully to the ringtone, she froze again.

——Is it...Jian Shu?

"Hey?"

Le Ying couldn't help being surprised, she clearly remembered that Jian Shu took Lian Xi to work.She still remembered that Jian Shu never deserted during working hours.

"Work has been canceled temporarily." Jian Shu on the other end of the phone seemed to have mind reading skills, and answered Le Ying's question directly, "Lian Xi has already gone back, I haven't eaten yet..."

"Ok?"

Of course Le Ying wanted to answer "Let's eat together", but unfortunately, the headache of Bai Youning has not been resolved yet.

"have a meal together?"

Unexpectedly, this time, Jian Shu took the initiative.

"This...can't be done today." Le Ying's tone was slightly painful, "There's already a 'bad man' who has made a reservation to treat me to dinner. Although... I feel that I don't seem to be blessed to accept such kindness."

"Oh."

I don't know if it's Le Ying's illusion, but she always feels that Jian Shu's simple word "oh" seems to have some disappointment and regret.

disappointment?Pity?

Will Jian Shu feel disappointed and regretful because she can't have dinner with her?

Le Ying was still thinking wildly, when she heard Jian Shu say over there again: "That's fine. However, it's not common for you to be taken advantage of. Come on, eat more."

"must!"

Le Ying believed that even if she ate all these snacks, she would still have stomach to eat Baiyouning's "Hongmen Banquet".

Jian Shu on the other end of the phone suddenly smiled softly: "That's it. Hang up."

"Okay." Le Ying also smiled, "Goodbye."

However, just when Le Ying was about to press the phone, Jian Shu's voice suddenly came from the phone.She quickly brought the phone to her ear again: "Huh? What did you just say?"

"It's nothing important." Jian Shu said, "I'm asking, did Xi Yuan treat you to dinner?"

"Of course not. It's..."

"who is it?"

Unexpectedly, Jian Shu would be so persistent in asking, Le Ying immediately got stuck.Should I say it or not?If so, what would happen?

But Jian Shu on the other side of the phone saw that Le Ying hadn't said a word for a long time, and his tone changed instantly.

"Could it be Pei Han?"

"No, no." Le Ying immediately explained, "Stop thinking about it."

"So, who is it?"

"It's... Bai Youning."

Le Ying broke her heart and said it outright.

How will Jian Shu react?

There was no answer from Jian Shu, not even any sound, the silence was terrifying.Le Ying became flustered all of a sudden, and after saying "Hello" several times, she began to wonder if the mobile phone had suddenly lost signal.

until--

"Where is your date?"

"what?"

"Where are you now?"

"I...I haven't seen her yet." Le Ying thought to herself, it's over, is she really talking too much?But since I said it, I still have to explain it clearly to Jian Shu.So, she briefly talked about what happened after she left the cafe, and finally concluded: "So, I am still sitting under the tree in the snack street, hey! My skewers are going to be cold!"

Hearing this sentence, Jian Shu on the phone laughed again.

"Then eat quickly."

Le Ying looked down at the skewers in his hand, and said "huh".

"You just sit under the tree..." Jian Shu continued, "Wait for me."

"what?"

what do you mean? !

"Twenty-ten minutes..." Jian Shu paused for a moment, and then said, "I'll be there in twenty-ten minutes at most."

"You... you want to come?"

"Yes." Jian Shu replied firmly, "Until I get there, don't leave, let alone go with anyone."

What's the mess?Talked as if she was a lost child.

"Of course, including Bai Youning."

After saying this, Jian Shu didn't give her a chance to refute, and immediately hung up the phone.

This moment really confused Leying.What is Jian Shu doing here in such a hurry?He even emphasized to her that she should not go with Bai Youning... Could it be that Bai Youning wanted to do something wrong to her... Ah bah, no, could it be that Bai Youning wanted to harm her?That's not right, isn't it just a meal?

Le Ying began to think wildly.

It should...not be.

Le Ying vaguely defined this matter with a woman's intuition, and then ate her grilled skewers that were about to cool down.
