Chapter 1169 Are you disappointed to see me?
Huo Yanchen looked at him: "Are you laughing at me?"
Bo Qing nodded: "It is indeed quite funny. The Huo Yanchen I remember was fearless. When you fought for the Huo family and became the head of the Huo family, you fought with so many brothers. You didn't even frown back then, did you?"
"Over the years, we've fought many times. When have you, Huo Yanchen, ever shown mercy? You've never been afraid of anything, but now, why don't you even dare to like someone?"
"If you like someone, be bold. If that person happens to like you too, then things will get even better. Go tell her how you feel. She might be very happy. What kind of person are you, just drinking all the time?"
Bo Qing's words left Huo Yanchen speechless.
But this is completely different. Those people are those people, business is business, and they are all different from Jiang Manman.
He had never hesitated on anything, but whenever he was around Jiang Manman, he couldn't help but think a lot.
He couldn't be selfish and only think of himself; he had to consider Jiang Manman and the Jiang family.
Huo Yanchen shook his head: "I am different from you, and she is different from Shen Yuan."
"What's different?" Bo Qing crossed his legs, leaning back on the sofa with a hint of laziness.
Huo Yanchen said, "Neither you nor Shen Yuan have families. Although Shen Yuan later found her family, they did not stop you from being together."
"So Jiang Manman's family stopped you?"
"Their family is very good, and her parents are also good. Isn't it normal that they wouldn't let their precious daughter be with someone like me?" Huo Yanchen chuckled self-deprecatingly, then started drinking again.
"You, Huo Yanchen, are afraid of this? If you really want to be with her, her parents will definitely agree. In some ways, you're not a bad person either."
Huo Yanchen scoffed, "It's really rare to hear you praise me like this."
"However, her parents may be right. I am not a good match for her. She is still young and can find someone better. If I ruin her, it would be like an old cow eating young grass. She has such a bright future ahead of her. Maybe she will regret it someday."
Bo Qing was silent for a few seconds before speaking: "I'm not familiar with her, but I believe you should know that she's not the kind of person who can easily back out."
Huo Yanchen froze, he didn't know either...
He himself enjoys gambling, but he doesn't dare gamble with Jiang Manman's entire life.
……
Jiang Manman slept quite well at Shen Yuan's place. It was almost the weekend, and Jiang Manman didn't have any plans. She intended to review the documents at home.
Fang is a very good leader. Although Jiang Manman has only been working with her for a couple of days, she has really learned a lot.
Jiang Manman felt that her way of thinking and her ideas were worth learning from.
Although she didn't have to work on weekends, Jiang Manman still took the initiative to bring back a lot of previous project documents to continue studying and try to catch up with others as quickly as possible.
It has to be said that when you actually put it into practice in the workplace, the learning speed is really fast.
However, on the night before Friday, Jiang Manman's classmate called her and asked her to have lunch together the next day.
This is a friend Jiang Manman has known since high school and college; they have a pretty good relationship.
They used to spend a lot of time together when they were in school, but now that they're on vacation, they're both busy with their own things and haven't seen each other for several days.
Jiang Manman said, "But I also have a lot of work on weekends."
“You work during the week and work on weekends, you should relax a bit. It’s just a meal out, Manman, you don’t even want that? Besides, it’s been so long since we ate together.”
Jiang Manman thought about it and realized that was indeed the case: "So, is it just the two of us?"
Chen Tiantian paused for a moment, a hint of awkwardness in her voice, "Of course there are two. Who else do you want to call?"
“I didn’t plan to invite anyone, so it’s settled then.” Jiang Manman agreed.
When the weekend arrived, Jiang Manman dressed up nicely, put on light makeup, and wore a fluffy coat and skirt. She looked cute and elegant, with the refined air of a young lady ingrained in her very being.
Jiang Manman arrived at the restaurant, but Chen Tiantian had not yet arrived.
She messaged Chen Tiantian, who replied, "I've already made a reservation. Just go in; I'll be there soon."
"Alright, I'll wait for you."
Jiang Manman entered the restaurant, where a waiter told her that a private room had been reserved.
Do the two of them really need a private room? Isn't that a bit extravagant?
Jiang Manman sat and waited for a while, and soon the dishes started to be served.
Jiang Manman was still a little confused: "Hello, my friend hasn't arrived yet, should we serve the dishes later?"
The waiter said, "Your friend asked us to serve the food. He said it would be here soon."
Oh, I see. Maybe Tian Tian is already downstairs, so they're serving the food first.
These dishes are so beautifully made; they're all shaped like flowers.
Moreover, there was a rose in the middle of the table, which looked quite romantic.
This is probably just something placed in the restaurant. She and Chen Tiantian are eating alone, so they probably don't need this set.
Just as Jiang Manman was thinking, there was a knock on the door of the private room, which was then pushed open the next second.
Jiang Manman turned around when she heard the voice, and her expression froze when she saw who it was.
"Manman," the man called out.
Jiang Manman stared at the person at the door, her expression gradually turning blank.
"Liang Chen, it's you? Where's Tian Tian?" Jiang Manman asked.
Didn't Chen Tiantian invite her out for dinner?
Moreover, Chen Tiantian also said that it was just the two of them.
Liang Chen looked very elegant today, dressed in a suit and bow tie, with her hair meticulously styled, giving her a very sophisticated appearance.
"Manman, are you disappointed to see me?" Liang Chen walked in.
Jiang Manman said, "That's not what I meant. I just didn't expect it to be you. It was Tian Tian who invited me to dinner. You guys..."
"It was Chen Tiantian who asked you to come. If I had asked you, you definitely wouldn't have come. Don't blame Chen Tiantian. I know you two are close. Manman, we used to be very good friends, so how did things turn out like this?"
Liang Chen sat down opposite Jiang Manman, looking hurt.
Jiang Manman pursed her lips tightly, and Liang Chen continued, "I don't know if it's because you have someone in your heart, so you can't stand other people, or..."
“No, I don’t look down on you,” Jiang Manman said.
Liang Chen put a lot of psychological pressure on her, making her want to escape. Perhaps she didn't handle it well, but she had already clearly rejected him, so she didn't know how to dispel Liang Chen's thoughts.
"Do you still consider me a friend? Can our relationship still be like before, going to and from school together, sharing everything, and telling me your troubles and worries?"
Looking at Liang Chen's face, he has really matured a lot, and he is also very good-looking.
But Jiang Manman knew that they had no way to go back.
We've all grown up, how could we possibly go back to how we were when we were kids?
