Having stood up Zhang Jingyi, Xu Xingran felt very happy.
Zhang Jingyi was the type who loved to show off in front of her group of plastic sisters.
Every time Xu Xingran went to serve her, she was bossy and arrogant.
This time, she wouldn’t go.
Zhang Jingyi’s face would definitely be lost.
Her face would surely be green with anger.
Haha, let her be embarrassed!
Xu Xingran tidied herself up, applied a delicate makeup, and went to have dinner with Lu Sisi as the sun began to set.
They had agreed to meet at their usual steakhouse.
When she arrived, Lu Sisi was already waiting.
Seeing her, she waved happily.
“Xingxing, over here!”
Xu Xingran walked over happily and gave her a hug.
“Baby, I missed you so much!”
“Cut it out!” Lu Sisi’s pretty face was full of a disdainful smile. “If it wasn’t for He Hansheng dragging you back, I wouldn’t be seeing you right now.”
Xu Xingran immediately raised her hands in surrender.
“I’m being good now, please spare me. And don’t mention He Hansheng.”
Lu Sisi pulled her to sit down.
The previous words were just casual banter between the two sisters.
She naturally believed that Xu Xingran wouldn’t abandon her.
After all, men couldn’t be with you for a lifetime, but good friends could.
As they sat down, Lu Sisi rested her chin on her hand, her bright eyes fixed on Xu Xingran.
“He Hansheng personally dragged you back this time, quite a stir, huh!”
After the engagement banquet was canceled, Xu Xingran left the capital.
Many people thought she left in despair.
For years, the whispers about her being unworthy of He Hansheng had never stopped.
He Hansheng had canceled the engagement ceremony, a huge event, just like that.
It showed that he didn’t care about Xu Xingran at all.
He probably just thought she was pretty and wanted to play around.
The cancellation of the engagement banquet marked the end of their relationship.
But then they heard that He Hansheng had personally gone to several cities to find Xu Xingran.
This move had left everyone baffled.
Xu Xingran got a headache just hearing He Hansheng’s name.
She wasn’t willing to talk about anything related to him.
“He’s crazy, don’t mention him, it’s bad luck! I’m afraid he’ll haunt me!”
Beep!
Xu Xingran’s phone buzzed.
The screen showed a message from He Hansheng.
Xu Xingran groaned.
“See, I told you not to mention him.”
Her jinx skills were back. She just said He Hansheng would haunt her, and now he’s messaging.
She had to watch her mouth, or she’d be the one to suffer.
Lu Sisi directly opened Xu Xingran’s phone and wanted to see what He Hansheng had sent.
He Hansheng: [Dinner at Piaoliang restaurant in half an hour.]
Lu Sisi opened her mouth in surprise.
“What a coincidence?”
The steakhouse they were at was called Piaoliang .
Xu Xingran smiled. “Don’t worry, he won’t come.”
She opened her phone, took a screenshot of He Hansheng’s invitation, then took a selfie of herself in the restaurant and posted it on her Moments, visible only to Xia Qingqing.
[Yay! Romantic dinner together, waiting~/picture/picture]
As for He Hansheng, she simply didn’t reply.
She put down her phone and pointed at the menu to the waiter. “I’ll have a filet mignon.”
Lu Sisi ordered a sirloin steak.
HD Group.
He Hansheng had been busy all day and was about to go home to his villa after work.
But thinking about Xu Xingran, who was now full of thorns, he couldn’t help but feel a headache.
He unconsciously opened the chat window with Xingran.
There were many messages.
Most of them were sent by her, he rarely replied.
He found a message in the vast chat history.
[Heard there’s a new steakhouse called Piaoliang , the steaks are supposed to be really good, wanna go together?]
This message was sent three months ago.
He Hansheng hadn’t replied at the time.
Maybe he was too busy.
Maybe he didn’t want to go.
He couldn’t remember the reason.
This engagement banquet fiasco made him realize he had gone too far.
So he wanted to find a way to ease the tension between him and Xu Xingran.
He sent her a message inviting her to dinner.
Then he instructed his assistant to book a table at the restaurant.
He got off the elevator at the company, and as soon as the elevator reached the first floor, his phone rang.
It was Xia Qingqing.
He frowned and picked up the phone.
Xia Qingqing’s terrified voice came from the other end.
“Hansheng! He’s here! I saw him! He’s downstairs! He’s staring at me! Aaaaah! He’s going to kill me! Hansheng, save me, save me!!”
Then the phone seemed to be dropped on the floor, with screams getting louder and louder, proving the person’s panic.
He Hansheng quickened his pace, his voice calm. “Qin An, go to Yunding Apartment.”
“Yes!”
He Hansheng sat in his black Maybach.
Thinking about dinner with Xu Xingran.
[Sorry, something came up, you eat first.]
Lu Sisi and Xu Xingran, who were already waiting for their food at the restaurant, both saw this message.
Xu Xingran’s lips curled into a sarcastic smile.
Lu Sisi, on the other hand, exploded.
“Damn! Is He Hansheng such a jerk?”
Lu Sisi had seen everything Xu Xingran did earlier.
How did Xu Xingran know for sure that He Hansheng wouldn’t come?
Her Moments was only visible to Xia Qingqing.
And He Hansheng suddenly wouldn’t come.
If this wasn’t Xia Qingqing’s doing, who else could it be?!
The key was that whenever He Hansheng was needed by Xia Qingqing, Xu Xingran was always the one left behind.
Actually, when He Hansheng sent the message, Xu Xingran wasn’t lying when she said she wasn’t uncomfortable.
Just not as uncomfortable as before.
Now it was completely within her control, bearable, and ignorable.
She knew how special Xia Qingqing was to He Hansheng.
In the past seven years, she had tasted this feeling of being abandoned hundreds of times.
She was numb.
She just didn’t expect that the source of her pain for the past seven years would now become her weapon.
See, she had easily gotten rid of He Hansheng’s entanglement.
No wonder Lu Sisi was shocked by He Hansheng’s jerkiness.
Lu Sisi didn’t like He Hansheng to begin with, and she kept all the outrageous things he did a secret from her.
So in Lu Sisi’s eyes, He Hansheng was just a man who didn’t know how to be gentle or considerate.
He wasn’t even considered a jerk.
Now… heh!
Lu Sisi clenched her fists in anger and hugged Xu Xingran.
“Sister, don’t be sad, tonight I’ll take you out to find some cute boys! Ten of them! There’s bound to be one you like!”
Then they’d completely abandon this scumbag He Hansheng!
