No, she couldn’t be outdone by Shen Mianmian. Cheng Xining turned to leave but was grabbed by Cheng Feiyang, "Cousin, where are you going now?"
"I’m going back to change my clothes," Cheng Xining said huffily. "I can’t be outdone by her. This is the most formal meeting I’ve had with her, like a negotiation. I can’t be outdone."
Cheng Feiyang was speechless. "By the time you come back, she’ll be gone."
Back and forth, that’s at least half an hour. Who is going to wait here that long?
Cheng Xining thought about it and then asked, "So who do you think is prettier, me or her?"
"Of course, it’s you," Cheng Feiyang answered very crisply. He wasn’t stupid. Even if Shen Mianmian was prettier, he couldn’t admit it!
"Let’s go! Let’s go in."
Cheng Xining felt reassured and entered with confidence.
"Here they come." Yang Xiaoxi spotted Cheng Xining approaching. She seemed even more nervous than Shen Mianmian, amusing Mianmian somewhat.
Seeing her approach, Shen Mianmian immediately waved over a server, "Miss Cheng, what kind of coffee do you like?"
Cheng Xining and Cheng Feiyang sat down. They were here to discuss business and didn’t care about coffee, so they casually ordered two signature coffees and sent the server away. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵
Without holding back, she spoke with barbed words, "Shen Mianmian, have you ever had coffee? Are you used to it? And to invite me to a place , do you think it will elevate your status? Without Brother He, you wouldn’t even be able to afford a cup of coffee, right?"
She always felt that Shen Mianmian dressed more beautifully than her, and subconsciously wanted to suppress Mianmian in other aspects.
Cheng Feiyang quietly tugged at Cheng Xining’s sleeve. Shen Mianmian owned a small shop; if they were serious, Mianmian was wealthier than they were. They spent their family’s money, but Mianmian spent her own earnings.
"Why are you pulling me?" Cheng Xining glared at him.
Cheng Feiyang was at a loss for words and chose to stay silent. It was a matter for the women to resolve themselves!
"Miss Cheng, the reason I invited you to a place is that I feel the environment is nice and suitable for discussing matters, as well as fitting your status. If you don’t like it, though, we can change locations," Shen Mianmian said.
Shen Mianmian was not upset by Cheng Xining’s words; she simply wanted to have a peaceful and proper conversation with Cheng Xining.
Her words struck a chord in Cheng Xining, who lifted her chin proudly and said, "No need to change venues. You’re right; I’m not accustomed to other places."
While speaking, she caught sight of the coffees in front of Shen Mianmian and Yang Xiaoxi, and seeing that they had clearly been touched, she became displeased.
"Do you have any manners? You started drinking before we even arrived?"
Yang Xiaoxi could no longer hold back and said irritably, "Miss Cheng, please get it straight. You were the ones who were late for a long time. That’s why we started drinking first."
"I was late, but I didn’t fail to show up. Couldn’t you have waited a little longer?"
"Please, how were we supposed to know whether you were coming or not?"
Yang Xiaoxi gave her a stern look.
This Cheng Xining was clearly here to pick a fight.
"Rude is rude, what excuses?" Cheng Xining huffed.
Yang Xiaoxi was fuming, about to lose her temper, but Shen Mianmian calmed her down.
"Let’s discuss the important matters. As for politeness, let’s not argue about that; it leads nowhere. No matter what we do, Miss Cheng will never be satisfied, right?"
