Chapter 224 - Many Good Friends
Chapter 224: Many Good Friends
Xia Xibei smiled at them in apology, then answered the call.
“Tang Luo? I’m not in the store right now… Oh, I’m in the shop we were at last time. I’m with Yu Ziqi and the others… OK, come over then.”
“It’s Tang Luo?” Yu Ziqi asked, excited. “Is he coming here too?”
“Yes,” Xia Xibei nodded. “He happened to be nearby.”
“Who is Tang Luo?” Shi Qinghui asked. ‘Another good friend?’ she thought, raising her eyebrows. “How many good friends do you have?”
“A lot!” Yu Ziqi replied, seeming proud.
It seemed like she was just in time, as Shi Qinghui was also curious.
When did this kid make so many good friends?
After the interruption, Zheng Xiaowen was ignored by everyone once again.
She bit her lip, listening to their heated discussion while feeling complicated and sour. She didn’t want to be ignored, but she was also afraid of returning to that awkward topic from earlier.
After a while, the door opened, and Tang Luo walked in.
Shi Qinghui couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows when she saw Tang Luo.
What a handsome young man! The contrast was even more obvious when he stood next to her own chubby kid.
“Tang Luo!” Yu Ziqi exclaimed, happily walking up to him and bumping fists with Tang Luo. “Why are you here?”
“I was close by and I heard that Xibei’s store was opening, so I came to have a look. Why are you here?” Tang Luo asked with a smile.
“We ran into each other and decided to get together here. By the way, this is my mom.”
Tang Luo walked up to Shi Qinghui, smiling while saying hello, “Hello Auntie, I’m Tang Luo.”
“Hello,” Shi Qinghui replied, looking at this good-looking young man with satisfaction.
Gorgeous, young people were so pleasant to look out.
“This is…” Tang Luo’s gaze moved to Zheng Xiaowen and stopped.
“Oh, this is Zheng Xiaowen. My desk-mate at school.”
“Zheng Xiaowen, your… Desk-mate?” Tang Luo paused, then smiled. “Did you all make an appointment to meet up? Why didn’t you tell me?”
“We didn’t make an appointment.”
Song Jiaren made no secret of her dislike for Zheng Xiaowen.
Such an attitude could easily leave the elders with a bad impression, but Song Jiaren didn’t care. If others made her unhappy, why should she be generous toward them?
However, Shi Qinghui didn’t have any complaints about Song Jiaren because of this incident. After all, she had her reasons.
Besides, Zheng Xiaowen did not have any good intentions. It was natural for Song Jiaren to be angry. If that had happened to her, she would be angry too.
“Oh? What happened?” Tang Luo inquired, looking curious.
Zheng Xiaowen’s face was pale, wanting to jump out and stop Song Jiaren.
She had never expected things to turn out this way! She regretted not apologizing and leaving earlier. At least she wouldn’t have been repeatedly humiliated!
But now she couldn’t even leave, only able to fidget and listen to their criticisms of her.
Jiaren Song didn’t care how embarrassed Zheng Xiaowen was, quickly repeating what she had just said. Finishing the tale, she asked, “So, what do you think? Should she apologize?”
“If this is the case, she should really apologize,” Tang Luo nodded seriously. “You were opening a new store. It would be terrible if it had been affected.”
“That’s right! It was lucky I reacted so quickly! Otherwise, she would have ruined our opening!”
Having said that, Song Jiaren couldn’t help but glare at Zheng Xiaowen once again.
By then, Zheng Xiaowen had started to cry.
“I’m sorry! I really didn’t mean it! I didn’t think that a simple question would cause so much trouble!”
