Chapter 429: The Bully Who Likes to Pretend to Sleep
Michelle roughly understood the conversation between the two. She was curious about what Chen An did and why he was so rich. She didn't expect that he was a writer. The copyright of one of his books sold for several million. Such an outstanding man should be mine, Michelle.
Michelle complimented him with an admiring look on her face, "Brother Chen, you are so amazing. You are actually a great writer. I particularly like literature, but I don't seem to have any talent in this area."
Michelle paused, and with the look of a little fangirl, she asked softly, "Brother Chen, can I read your work?"
Guan Juer couldn't help but clench her fists. If it was before, Michelle praised her man for being amazing, she would definitely be very happy, but knowing this woman's mind, she was naturally unhappy. Suddenly, she had an idea and took the initiative to say with a smile, "Xue'er, Brother Chen's greatest achievement is not this work."
Michelle heard this and asked, "Brother Chen, are there other works?"
Guan Juer raised her lips, revealing a smug look, "Of course, Brother Chen's first work, A Mortal's Journey to Immortality, has not been completed yet. When it is completed, the copyright will be at least several times more than this one."
Michelle couldn't help but tremble in her heart after hearing this. My goodness, this is already six million, I wonder how many times it is, how much money is that?
Seeing Michelle's expression, Guan Juer continued to talk a lot about Chen An's novel.
After hearing this, Michelle couldn't wait to launch her own offensive.
Of course, Guan Juer is not as naive as in the original drama. With the black-bellied man Chen An, she naturally learned a lot.
She didn't want to spend all her time trying to guard against thieves all day and lure the snake out of its hole. What she wanted to do was not to.
Along the way, Chen An became the background board for the two of them.
Guan Juer kept showing off Chen An's excellence, and Michelle was very cooperative, praising Chen An from time to time. Even though Chen An was quite thick-skinned, he felt a little embarrassed by the praise from the beautiful girl.
After parking the car in front of the hotel, the three of them walked towards the restaurant upstairs.
The location Chen An chose was the corner on the right as you enter the restaurant.
From this position, one can just observe the entrance. At this time, in another corner of the restaurant, Manager Bai was chatting and drinking with a woman who looked to be in her forties and was in very good condition. He had no idea that Qiu Yingying had already taken the bus and was on her way.
Not long after the three of them ordered their food, Qiu Yingying arrived and gave a brief introduction to the two of them.
Guan Juer handed the menu to Qiu Yingying and said, "We have already ordered. Take a look. What do you want to eat?"
Qiu Yingying took the menu and looked through it. There were all kinds of beautifully presented food. Qiu Yingying felt that she liked them all. But when she saw the prices, she couldn't help swallowing. They were much more expensive than she had imagined.
"Yingying, it is said that their Tomahawk steak is very good. You can try it." Chen An looked at Qiu Yingying's conflicted look and reminded her. After all, he came here to eat melons today.
Chen An and his friends were eating and chatting. They had just finished half of their meal when Manager Bai and the woman finished their meal and left in an intimate manner.
Qiu Yingying, who was eating happily, suddenly seemed to be under a spell and looked at the two people walking towards her not far away.
Noticing Qiu Yingying's actions, Chen An turned around and asked in surprise, "Yingying, isn't that Brother Bai?"
"Who is the woman next to him? Is she his elder?" Guan Juer asked in pretended confusion.
"I, I don't know." Qiu Yingying couldn't help but shrink her body, as if she was afraid of being seen by the two men.
Michelle naturally remembered what Chen An had said to her before, and curled her lips, "How can they be like relatives? They look more like lovers. But isn't this man too heavy-handed?"
Qiu Yingying was very confused and didn't know what she should do. Should she take the initiative to ask about the relationship between the two? But she was afraid of hearing an answer she didn't want?
Seeing Qiu Yingying's reaction, Chen An naturally understood what was going on, but having put so much thought into it, he would not give up halfway.
She glared at Michelle in pretended dissatisfaction, "Xue'er, don't talk nonsense, that is Yingying's boyfriend, maybe there is some misunderstanding here."
"Ah?" Michelle was surprised and looked at Qiu Yingying apologetically, "I'm sorry Yingying, I really didn't know he was your boyfriend, otherwise I would definitely not have said that."
"It's okay, it's okay..." Qiu Yingying waved her hands in panic. What he wanted to do most now was to escape from here as quickly as possible.
Guan Juer did not expect her best friend to have this reaction, and she admired Brother Chen's ability to judge people even more.
"Yingying, why don't you give me a call and ask, didn't you tell me before that Manager Bai was meeting a client today?"
Chen An gave Michelle a wink, and Michelle pretended to go to the bathroom, got up and followed him.
Qiu Yingying placed her finger on the dial button but was hesitant to press it, for she was afraid that her dream would be shattered.
"Yingying, actually, it's inevitable for men to have some social engagements when they're out there, so you don't have to take it too seriously. Since Brother Bai told you that he's meeting a client in the evening, he definitely wouldn't lie to you." Chen An began to add fuel to the fire.
When Qiu Yingying heard this, she didn't feel that way anymore. People are like this. Sometimes persuasion will only have the opposite effect.
The phone was dialed and rang a few times. Then there was a beep from the other end. It was obvious that Manager Bai had hung up the phone.
"He didn't answer. Maybe it's inconvenient..." Qiu Yingying lowered her head, not daring to look at the expressions of the two.
Guan Juer was a little disappointed, and said with dissatisfaction in her tone, "It's inconvenient to call, but it shouldn't be inconvenient to send messages."
"He is talking to a client. Let's eat first. I'll ask him when I get to the company tomorrow." As soon as she finished speaking, Guan Juer snatched her phone away.
"Guan Guan, what are you doing?" Qiu Yingying reached out to grab the phone, but Guan Juer was prepared, so she failed.
"What do you want me to do, Qiu Yingying? If you don't ask me, I'll ask for you." Guan Juer said as she opened WeChat, found the pinned message, clicked on it and quickly sent a message.
Qiu Yingying had no time to stop him, and angrily expressed her dissatisfaction to Guan Juer, "Why do you send messages for me? What does my business have to do with you? You have nothing better to do."
Guan Juer was so angry that she almost died. She and Brother Chen had worried so much about her, but now she chose to turn a blind eye to the truth. She was very disappointed with Qiu Yingying.
Qiu Yingying's questioning and dissatisfied voice weakened when she saw Guan Juer's cold and disappointed expression.
Just at this moment, a message came on the phone. Guan Juer took a glance at it, felt very disgusted, and handed the phone to Qiu Yingying with a look of disgust.
"Yingying, you missed me so soon. I just had dinner with a client and drank a lot of wine. I feel a little dizzy. I'm going to go back to sleep first and we'll talk again at work tomorrow."
Qiu Yingying handed the phone to Chen An and said, "Brother Chen, you are right. Xiaobai was entertaining people. He probably drank too much just now. He was afraid that the client would fall, so he did that."
After taking a look at the message, Chen An couldn't help but find it a little funny. Fortunately, he was prepared.
Otherwise, for someone like Qiu Yingying, whose love-brain is immersed in her own little world, it is really difficult to wake her up.
