"What are you doing here again? Why haven’t you left?" Cheng Su stood up.
Chiang Tian raised his hand with a smirk, raising his eyebrows as he spoke, "President Cheng, saying that truly hurts my feelings. I really do want to cooperate with you in business." His eyes shifted to Qiulan, to whom he waved and greeted, "Hey!"
Qiulan turned her face away with a blush.
Cheng Su had already walked over, her face full of displeasure, "Then there’s no need for you to come, I’m not interested in doing any business with you. Please leave!"
"Why is that?"
"No reason. I just don’t like you, nor the Chiang family, so please don’t show up again." Cheng Su was blunt.
Chiang Tian shrugged, an indifferent look on his face, "Alright then. But, it’s odd to turn away business when you’ve opened your doors, isn’t it? I’m not someone who can’t pay."
With that said, he flung out several large bills, indeed, they were hundred yuan notes.
"This money should be enough for this young master to have several big meals here, right?" Chiang Tian looked at Cheng Su provocatively.
Cheng Su glanced at the money and laughed, "Enough. What would you like to eat?"
Chiang Tian snorted, "Don’t bother yourself." Then he called out loudly to Qiulan, "Little Sister Qiulan, come and take my order."
Cheng Su’s brows furrowed slightly, glaring at him.
What was he plotting?
Standing at a distance, Cheng Su watched Chiang Tian with a cold eye. He was all smiles, apparently joking with Qiulan, making her blush and shy beyond measure.
After Qiulan took the order and came back, Cheng Su asked, "What did he say to you?"
Qiulan, her face red, said, "Nothing much. He’s just not very decent with his words."
Cheng Su’s expression turned even uglier as she spoke, "Stay away from him. That man is a playboy and a profligate, smooth-talking, and can sweet-talk his way through anything. You’re young, don’t let him deceive you."
Qiulan retorted, "Sister Su, what are you saying!"
"Just don’t believe a word he says. Even one-tenth belief will cost you." Cheng Su warned.
"Got it."
Cheng Su had said she wouldn’t do business with Chiang Tian, but this man, as if he couldn’t understand human speech, arrived punctually for lunch and dinner, and then spent his time chatting up Qiulan.
Unable to figure out Chiang Tian’s intentions, Cheng Su grew more agitated.
And then, Ning Ge finally caught up with Chiang Tian. Upon seeing Ning Ge, he wanted to run.
"Why are you running? Got a guilty conscience?" Ning Ge grabbed his collar with a smile.
Chiang Tian forced a smile, barely managing to greet with "Fourth Brother."
No wonder he reacted to Ning Ge like a mouse seeing a cat. In fact, he had been humiliated by Ning Ge before, a humiliation he still remembered!
"Come on, tell your brother, what are you doing here? What mischief do you and your sister have in mind? Eh? Xiao Tian, don’t you know your Fourth Brother is making a name for himself in Qing City? Or do you want to continue being strung up naked by a window?" Ning Ge mockingly wrapped an arm around Chiang Tian.
Chiang Tian’s complexion shifted slightly—it was that very humiliation. Back then, Ning Ge and he had a disagreement, which led to a fight. Chiang Tian was no match for Ning Ge’s cunning and ended up stripped and hung out a window by him and a few of his friends for all passersby to see, a major loss of face. Ning Ge had told him never to appear before him again.
Pah! They were all children of officials; who was lesser than whom? Yet at that time, he truly was a little inferior to Ning Ge, and the matter ended there after Ning Ge left the country. Still, some people hadn’t forgotten about it and even talked about it.
That’s why he hated and feared Ning Ge.
