87 Enemies Are Bound to Meet on a Narrow Road
When the car arrived outside Cloud Sea Restaurant, Sang Qianqian rushed to the second floor.
A fashionably dressed young man and woman came out, hugging each other as they talked and laughed. They passed by her. The woman’s expression changed as she caught a glimpse of Sang Qianqian.
She pushed away the man who was hugging her waist and chased after her. Sang Qianqian had already disappeared upstairs.
“Did you see that? Why did the person who just walked past look like Sang Qianqian?”
The man glanced back and didn’t take it seriously. “How is that possible? Sang Qianqian is long dead.”
The woman’s expression changed for a few seconds. “No, I have to go and confirm it.”

Sang Qianqian was initially worried that Wen Xu and Yun Li would start quarreling again when they met.
When she pushed open the door to the restaurant’s private room, the atmosphere was quite peaceful as the two of them were chatting about something.
“Qianqian, you’re finally here.”
When Yun Li saw her, she immediately pounced over and gave Sang Qianqian a bear hug. “I haven’t seen you in such a long time. I’ve missed you so much.”
Wen Xu sipped his tea and raised his eyebrows. “It’s only been a week, but you’re saying you haven’t seen her in a long time?”
Yun Li glared at him. “Qianqian and I are best friends. How could you understand our feelings?”
“While I spend time with my sister, you’re probably rubbing mud in some random corner!” Wen Xu laughed so hard that he almost died.
“Get lost!” Yun Li wasn’t in a good mood. “I never play with mud!”
“Alright, alright, I’m hungry. Let’s eat first, okay?”
Sang Qianqian pulled Yun Li to sit down and asked about serious matters. “Yun Li, why did you suddenly come to Ming City?”
“It’s all for work. Wen Xu said he can introduce me to some big bosses in the business world for interviews, so I came.”
Yun Li sighed. “A few days ago, I accidentally failed a few guest interviews. The Chief Editor gave me a death order. If I can’t get a big shot this time, I can directly hand in my resignation to the Human Resources Department.”
Sang Qianqian glanced at Wen Xu in surprise. “Wen Xu, you said you would help Yun Li. Are you serious?”
“Yeah, I’ve already helped her find a few.”
Wen Xu met Sang Qianqian’s confused gaze and felt a little uncomfortable. “Sis, why are you looking at me like that? Aren’t I helping her because of you?”
“That’s right. Speaking of this, I still have to thank Qianqian.”
Yun Li gave Wen Xu a meaningful look. If it wasn’t for Qianqian, she wouldn’t have bothered with him that night.
Sang Qianqian was very pleased. “Yun Li is unfamiliar with Ming City. Take care of her.”
Wen Xu nodded his head readily. “I know.”
He was the one who called her over, so he would naturally take full responsibility.
The three of them chatted as they ate. Sang Qianqian looked down at the time and saw that it was already 8:20. It was time for her to go to Shen Hanyu.
Yun Li asked her, “What’s the matter? Do you still have something to do? You’ve been checking the time so many times.”
“Sis, do you still have things to deal with at school?” Wen Xu was puzzled. “Didn’t you settle it when you went back this afternoon?”
Sang Qianqian mumbled, “This is a different matter; my lecturer is looking for me.”
“Then why don’t you go back to your work first?”
Yun Li was understanding. “Don’t delay important issues.”
“Then, you two…” Sang Qianqian looked at the two of them worriedly.
“I’ll discuss with him the interview arrangements for the next two days.”
Yun Li smiled. “Don’t worry. Wen Xu is helping me, so I don’t dare to argue with him.”
“Well, after you’re done with your discussion, let Wen Xu send you to my place. I’ve already given him the key.”
Sang Qianqian didn’t let the two of them send her off. When she went downstairs, the taxi she called had already arrived. She was about to go over when someone called out to her from behind, “Sang Qianqian.”
Sang Qianqian turned around and saw the shocked expressions on Ding Aojia and Wen Hao’s faces.
“It really is you.”
Ding Aojia walked over in her 10-centimeter high heels and looked down at her. “What’s going on here? Did you turn poor after five years? From the looks of it, your clothes don’t seem to be more than a thousand Yuan?”
Ever since Sang Qianqian became a doctor, her dressing was no longer as expensive and luxurious as before. Instead, it was simple and convenient.
After getting to know Yun Li, she had been influenced by her. She no longer bought branded things. Instead, if she found something particularly suitable, she would buy it even if the price was very cheap.
At this moment, she was wearing a white dress. Coincidentally, she went shopping with Yun Li not long ago and had bought the dress on a big sale. After the discount, it was less than two hundred Yuan.
The flat shoes on her feet were slightly more expensive, only about three hundred Yuan. They were simple, elegant, and most importantly, they were really comfortable to wear.
As for her bag, it was a birthday gift from Yun Li. It wasn’t from a big brand, but what mattered more was her best friend’s heartfelt intentions.
“I haven’t seen you for five years. Ding Aojia, you really haven’t changed much.”
Sang Qianqian gave a shallow smile. “Your price is too high. My clothes don’t even cost more than five hundred Yuan.”
After five years, Ding Aojia seemed to have matured a lot, but her arrogant and childish temperament was exactly the same as five years ago.
Back at the Han family, when Ding Aojia met Xia Sitong, the first thing she said was that Xia Sitong’s clothes were shabby and judged people by their looks. Sang Qianqian didn’t expect that she still hadn’t improved at all.
It was as if in her eyes, the people in the world were ranked according to the number of name tags they had.
Ding Aojia couldn’t believe her ears, and then she laughed, “Wen Hao, did you hear that? She’s wearing clothes and shoes that cost less than five hundred Yuan, but she’s eating at Cloud Sea Restaurant!”
Cloud Sea Restaurant was the top restaurant in Ming City. People who came here were either rich or powerful, yet she dared to come here in this outfit. She really wasn’t afraid of embarrassment!
Wen Hao’s gaze swept across Sang Qianqian, but he wasn’t focused on the price of her clothes.
Sang Qianqian’s appearance was too striking. Even if she was wearing a worn-out sack, she would still look a hundred times better than many people.
In his memory, Sang Qianqian would always dress up like a pampered princess, making people only dare to look at her from afar and not play with her. It was rare to see her dressed in such plain clothes. Under the light, she had a different kind of moving beauty and innocence.
From a man’s point of view, she was inexplicably alluring. He wanted to hold her in his arms and love her dearly.
“Aren’t you having dinner with my good brother?”
Wen Hao smiled and asked, “What? He didn’t buy you more clothes and drive you over?”
“I’m afraid Wen Xu can’t afford it either, right?”
Ding Aojia gloated, “Didn’t your father demote him to an ordinary employee? I guess he’s just pretending to be strong by coming to Cloud Sea Restaurant to eat. Alas, he won’t be able to come here more than a few times in the future.”
Sang Qianqian stared at Ding Aojia. “What ordinary employee?”
“Wen Xu doesn’t even acknowledge the Wen family and is closest to you, but he didn’t tell you?”
“Heh!” Wen Hao snorted. “During the charity night in Yuecheng, he had a conflict with a guest over a small matter. The guest wanted to leave, so I tried my best to persuade them to come back and criticize him. Alas, he took out his anger toward me on someone. My dad was so angry that he almost had a heart attack.”
Although what he said wasn’t funny at all, the smile on Wen Hao’s face was almost overflowing. “My father scolded him for being a useless person. He wanted him to get lost from Zhongwen Film and Television Group immediately, but I pleaded with him. Ultimately, my father agreed to let him stay and let him work under me as an ordinary employee.”
Sang Qianqian’s expression changed slightly. No wonder Wen Xu didn’t pick up her call that night and was injured.
