738 A Good Show
Ji Ning was sensitive to emotions and wasn’t as carefree as Ji Qian. Naturally, she could tell that Shen Hanxing and grandma were in a bad mood, but she was considerate and didn’t ask any questions. Her eyes were filled with concern.
Shen Hanxing was touched. She nodded and smiled. “Alright, I’ll be back early.” Her words were not all excuses. Zheng Youcai’s new movie was almost ready, and he had invited her and Wang Qin, the two investors, to have afternoon tea and discuss the investment. For the sake of peace and quiet, Zheng Youcai had specially found a quiet and high-end coffee shop with screens separating every table. If one didn’t listen carefully, they wouldn’t be able to hear what was being said next door.
When Shen Hanxing arrived, Zheng Youcai and Wang Qin were already there. Wang Qin was still wearing a cheongsam that highlighted her figure, and her face was flushed. She was holding Zheng Youcai’s hand openly. Even though she had something on her mind, Shen Hanxing could not help but laugh when she saw how the two of them were acting. Her eyes lingered on the two of them. “What are you guys doing?”
Wang Qin’s face was red as she fiddled with her earrings awkwardly and explained, “We both like each other, so we are trying out by dating each other.”
!!
Zheng Youcai gave a rather coy smile. When she first met Zheng Youcai, he was depressed and gloomy, and his handsome face always had a hint of depression. Now that his career was going well and he had gained love, he was radiant. The only thing that did not change was that his eyes were still clear, and how he looked at Wang Qin was gentle.
“I’ve had a good impression of Wang Qin since a long time ago,” Zheng Youcai didn’t hide it and said with a smile, “it’s just that I’ve been such a failure in the past that I didn’t have the face to tell Wang Qin. Even though I’m still not that great, at least I’ve made some achievements. That’s why I mustered the courage to confess to her.” He was down and out in his early years, and not many people liked him. Now that he was with Wang Qin and had tasted the sweetness of love, he was even more inspired. Zheng Youcai was already full of talent, and love inspired him.
Shen Hanxing had a good relationship with Wang Qin and Zheng Youcai. They were not nosy people, so the contract was finalized smoothly. When they were done discussing the details, Shen Hanxing smiled and closed the document. “I haven’t congratulated you two on getting together. Why don’t we have dinner together tonight?”
Wang Qin had always admired and respected Shen Hanxing. Her eyes lit up with joy when she heard her words, and she nodded without hesitation. “Indeed, we should have a meal. We’ll treat you to a meal, Mrs. Ji. If it weren’t for you, Zheng Youcai and I wouldn’t be where we are today.” She was very grateful to Shen Hanxing. Shen Hanxing was the one who had woken her up from her previous marriage and allowed her to walk out of it bravely. Shen Hanxing even helped her earn money and allowed her to live with her back straight.
Shen Hanxing was about to say something when she saw Wang Qin’s grateful expression when she heard a sharp voice from the side. “What’s the meaning of this? Why aren’t you willing to help me? Am I still your daughter?” Immediately after, there was the sound of porcelain colliding as if something had fallen to the ground.
Shen Hanxing looked at the room next door through the screen calmly. She smiled meaningfully. What a coincidence… She didn’t expect to meet that person during an ordinary afternoon tea. She placed her long index finger on her lips and shushed.
Wang Qin and Zheng Youcai looked at each other. Wang Qin was born with a loud voice, so she lowered her voice and asked Shen Hanxing, “Are we not going to eat?”
“There’s no hurry,” Shen Hanxing smiled. Her eyes filled with interest. “There’s a good show to watch. You guys go ahead. I’ll sit here for a while.”
A good show? Was she referring to the commotion next door? Wang Qin paused for a moment. Her ex-husband was considered a nouveau riche, so the upper-class people in S City did not take her as one of them. After her divorce, she became rich and lived with dignity. She was even more reluctant to get involved in that circle, so she could not tell who the voice belonged to. At this moment, she could not help but look a little lost.
“Then we’ll go first. I’ll send you the address later,” Zheng Youcai held Wang Qin’s hand and pointed his phone at Shen Hanxing with a smile. He only left with Wang Qin when he saw Shen Hanxing nod. After the two of them left, Shen Hanxing did not do anything else but move closer to the next room. She took a sip of her coffee and immediately recognized the voice’s owner. After all, they had met so many times. It was Su Ling. She had just gotten married and was still pregnant. Now that she was crying and quarreling with her parents, how could Shen Hanxing miss such a good show?
