hello miss bankrupt

Chapter 22: Under the Human Skin, Everything Is Unknown

The day of April is like a child’s face that changes as soon as it changes. It was a calm night just now. As the pianist in the Shengnuo restaurant played a soothing and smooth sonata that faintly reveals Wagner’s pathos, the sky seemed to be affected by the tune. Infected, the patter began to drip.

"Ah, it's actually raining outside." Ning Xi'er looked out the window and sighed. "Hey, I forgot to bring an umbrella. I checked the weather forecast today and said it won't rain..."

"It's okay, I drove here, and I'll see you off later." Pei Qianping looked out the window disapprovingly, sometimes she likes the pattering rain like this.

"It's okay, it's okay, the rain is quite light, maybe it will stop when we go back."

When the cold appetizers and main meals were served one after another, a head manager came over with a distressed face and a sincere apology, "Miss Pei, I'm sorry. It's BeefConsomme (Jiaowang Clear Soup) and Cream of Cornsoup (Cream Corn Soup) Matthew has always been the chef in our shop, but today he returned to Paris due to special circumstances, can you see..."

"This kind of low-level mistake will also appear in the St. Enochfrançais Hotel?" Pei Qianping shook the goblet, unable to hear the emotion in the words.

"I'm really sorry. To express our apology, our store will give away two desserts for free."

"I said... I specially ordered the signature French thick soup in your store, in order to give it to my friend who I haven't seen for a long time." Pei Qianping lowered her gray eyes, her face was unclear, and her tone was a little impatient. "Or...only our table is special?"

The atmosphere was a bit embarrassing, and Ning Xier couldn't see it. After all, Qianping booked such a good restaurant for herself, "Qianping, it's actually really good to give away desserts. For soup, don't you have red wine? I'll try it next time." Go." Ning Xier smiled at everyone.

"I just want to entertain you better." Pei Qianping felt a little regretful, with a rare look of loneliness on her face, she looked up at the monitor in the corner of the wall, "Since Xier said so, then...it's okay."

The foreman manager looked at the Miss Heisha who had a suffocating expression and smiled softly in an instant, and heaved a sigh of relief.So I made sure to back down again.

"Xi'er, who do you live with? There are a lot of people who don't agree with what they seem to be in society now. Is there any good thing like having a family..." Pei Qianping asked jokingly while cutting a steak.

Ning Xi'er hurriedly covered Qianping's mouth to prevent her from talking nonsense, "It's nothing, I'm just staying at the landlord's house, I'm no longer that young lady who doesn't understand the sufferings of the world, and I have to do it from Monday to Friday. I’m going to work, but I’m lucky to meet some benevolent people.” I took a sip of the red wine, it was moderately sweet and sour, and the fragrance lingered on my mouth, but it was not as good as the cranberry sour juice I made with Zi Mo, I don’t know that person is at home Have you had dinner?

"Ah, that's it." The hand holding the table knife paused, "I'm relieved now. I thought that you didn't adapt to the society when you first entered the society, and I was thinking about how to help you. If you live with your landlord It's not convenient, you can live with me."

"It's okay, I'm very adaptable." Ning Xi'er looked up and saw Qianping cut the beef into small square pieces, and couldn't help but mutter, "You cut it so neatly, I couldn't cut it well before , so I don’t really like beef ribs.”

"Have you forgotten what my dream is?"

"If I remember correctly, it's a doctor." Ning Xi'er replied with a smile.

"Yes," Pei Qianping placed the cut pieces one by one on Ning Xi'er's dinner plate, "I knew a long time ago that scalpels are much more professional than table knives."

When the phone rang, Qianping took the side of the phone and said a few words, with a slight smile on her face, "Xie'er, he'll be here soon, I'll introduce you later."

"Okay." Ning Xi'er straightened her hair, thinking that she couldn't give up on her friend.Stand up, straighten up, and look at the oncoming man with a smile on your face...

"Sorry, the traffic jam kept you waiting." The man took off his suit and handed it to the waiter. His hair was wet and disheveled by the rain, but he couldn't hide his handsome face.Pei Qianping walked over, arm in arm, and gently wiped the wetness on the other's forehead with a handkerchief, feeling very intimate.

Ning Xi'er didn't know how to face such a scene, why it was him... looked at the two people opposite him a little bit at a loss, and kept his original smile stiffly there.

"Oh, I just want to talk to you. Come on, let me introduce you. This is my good friend, Ning Xier, and this is Ayan." Pei Qianping led the other party up to her, and introduced each other with a smile.

After the man heard it, he turned around and looked straight at her, without hiding the surprise in his eyes, he calmed down, and stretched out his hand gracefully, "Hello, my name is Chi Yan."

……

After a long time, he shook back politely, trying his best to keep his voice calm, "Hello, my name is Ning Xier, and I am... Qianping's friend. Nice to meet you."

Pei Qianping watched them greet each other, so she led them to sit down, and interrupted with a smile, "Really, I thought you two knew each other just now."

"No, at first glance, Miss Ning looked a bit like a friend of mine, so she was a little surprised." Chi Yan thoughtfully tied a napkin on Pei Qianping, showing a gentleman's demeanor in every gesture.

After hearing this, Ning Xi'er kept silent, lowered her head and fiddled with the grouper, damn it, why is this dish so choking, she almost shed tears.

"Oh? I haven't met any of your friends. How can there be a beauty like our Xi'er? You're just talking nonsense." Pei Qianping took the man's arm and made an intimate gesture. The man just smiled and didn't say a word, letting her Such nonsense.

"Xi'er, is the food not to your liking?" Pei Qianping asked with concern, her gray eyes flickering on and off.

Ning Xi'er shook her head, "How could that be? You see, I've eaten so much. I'm not as gentlemanly as you. I don't even care about my image." Ning Xi'er cut a large piece of beef and swallowed it indiscriminately. Choked by pepper, some cough.Chi Yan, who was sitting beside her, couldn't bear to watch, and reached out to pat her on the back.

Do not touch me!Seeing that hand just intimately tied the napkin for his best friend, a voice in his heart clamored.Ning Xi'er stretched out her hand in a panic to block it, and with a bang, the goblet fell to the ground, and all the red wine was spilled on Ning Xi'er's skirt.The eyes of the surrounding guests gathered on her, indescribably embarrassed.

"...I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose." The skirt was stained a lot, Ning Xi'er stood up with a flustered expression, she got into trouble again, how much should she pay for this cup.

"It's okay, it's just that Xi'er, your skirt is dirty..." Pei Qianping reassured, and gave the service staff a wink.

"I... I'll just go home and wash it. It's rare for you to invite me today. I messed up. I'm sorry." Ning Xi'er clenched the wallet in her hand, breathless in her heart, and got up to leave.

"Well, it just so happens that I have something to go to my dad." Pei Qianping picked up the purse and walked with Ning Xi'er. "Xie'er is sorry to be in such a hurry today. If you are far away from home, why not go back with me."

"No, it's okay, it's only ten minutes away."

"Really, Chi Yan, take her back, Xi'er, I'll call you another day."

Seeing Qianping driving away in the car, Ning Xi'er let go of her hands.

"you can go now."

"I'll take you back." The firm tone was completely different from before.

Ning Xi'er laughed out loud when she heard that, and walked forward indifferently, the rain fell on her cheeks, forming sad marks one after another.

"Ning Xi'er, what are you trying to do!"

Chi Yan ran up to grab the other party, and pulled her to the eaves to shelter from the rain, "Xie'er, don't mess around, take my car back."

"Heh, did you call 'Xie'er'? Let me tell you that I was disgusted by the meal just now, and I have nothing to do with you, so you have no obligation to pretend to be a good person and take me home. I have feet and feet. Legs, I can walk on my own." Ning Xi'er pushed the other away with her backhand, took out her phone and checked the time, it was so late, why didn't there even be a car on the street when it was raining, she should have asked the waiter at the door to call a car just now Taxi's.

"I didn't expect to see you again, really." Chi Yan didn't care how much Ning Xier resisted, but he still held her hand blindly, "I didn't expect that the friend Qian Ping wanted to bring me to see her would be You, I'm sorry."

"Are you sorry? Do you know that your acting made me sick just now? It's ironic, Chi Yan, you will be my friend's future husband, but it has nothing to do with me. I wish you happiness, let go!" Ning Xier struggled Ask the other party to let go.

"I'm sorry, Xi'er, I have a hard time, and I have to marry Pei Qianping, but I only have you in my heart. Since your family went bankrupt, I have asked people to inquire about your whereabouts, but I can't find you no matter what News." Chi Yan explained excitedly, pulling Ning Xi'er's arm in pain.

"Please, don't speak out of your conscience. What do you think is the point of saying this now? Where were you when I was most sad and helpless? Chi Yan, you don't have to pretend. Before my family went bankrupt, you and I am also evasive and secretive. Am I so shameful that people lose your face? Yes, you are the son of a real estate tycoon, and now that I have nothing, since you and Qianping are together, please treat him well, I wish you You are happy." The world is really small... Ning Xi'er's eyes were red, and she felt angry.

Asked three times in a row, hitting his mind, he really wanted to take care of this woman in front of him, but he couldn't give it to her. "Xie'er..." The man didn't have the courage to go up because of the sadness and disappointment in her eyes.

"I'm leaving, and there will be no future." Ning Xi'er shook her head, turned around and didn't look at him again, and got into a taxi that had been parked by the side of the road. Tonight was a heartbreaking night, and she thought she wouldn't think about it If you don't look at it, your heart won't hurt. It turns out that this is just a fantasy.Unstoppable tears flowed down, she didn't force her to go back by blinking, but cried wantonly like this.On the day her father accepted the secret investigation, that man mercilessly withdrew all the capital, which undoubtedly made her family's company worse. In order to save her father's achievements for many years, she begged at his door all night, and all she got was one sentence: "With you!" irrelevant.Their love affair ended before it was made public. Thinking about how ridiculous and cowardly they were back then, it wasn't really love, they never even started kissing, luckily.Ning Xi'er smirked while crying, the bodyguard driver in front frowned and drove towards the destination.

-

The old radio in the room was whining hoarsely, and the roses on the table were dying.

"As I said before, please do not disturb me in my private time, my dear father."

"Ning Jiaxu has been lifted." The man twirled his fingers and looked towards the tall buildings in the distance.

"Oh, that's right." The woman standing at the table seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and was not very surprised.

"I've said it a long time ago, I want you to get rid of him as soon as possible. If that chip gets out, you know the consequences. I have sent someone to check, but there is nothing on it." The man's emotion was agitated, and his face was abnormal. Distorted, "No matter what, we must first find out the location of Ning Jiaxu."

"Oh, I would like to know what is the benefit of rescuing a dying person, but I will find out this person, please rest assured." The woman plucked a thorny rose and pulled the petals, her face stern.

"Well, did you go to see Ning Xi'er today?"

"..." The woman didn't say anything, but just looked at the bare rose in her hand.

"Ning Xi'er is also a trouble. Before she knows that Ning Jiaxu is coming out, get rid of it as soon as possible. Dad doesn't want anyone to hinder my precious daughter's wedding."

"Father, your body seems to have swollen a lot. If you are too 'gluttonous', you will end up like your sister." Looking at the man's unusually fat legs, he reminded him kindly.Pei Qianping smiled, the diamond ring on her finger was flickering under the moonlight, the rose in the vase was bright red, and the barb on the stem pierced her finger, and blood flowed down the diamond ring...

The woman stared at the bleeding ring, stood there for a long time, and heard the old tape recorder playing the singer's bass as if the tape was shredded——

The greedy ants are devouring the hot body of the rose in full bloom with blood,

Everything is no longer fresh,

My body my heart my sad memory.
