Chen Xing went to the city in the afternoon to visit and understand the situation. Near evening, he unexpectedly received a call from Xue Jinbao. When Chen Xing picked up the phone, he was really shocked. Xue Jinbao, who had called him in the afternoon, told him that he was already in Yuntian, and that he had come with Sun Yunlu. This made Chen Xing stunned for a long time.
Jinbao, I say, today is not April Fool's Day, right? Chen Xing was a little confused. At noon, he asked Xue Jinbao to call Sun Yunlu to ask if he had Zheng Jing's number. Xue Jinbao was still bashful and said that he was embarrassed to face his ex-girlfriend who he had dumped. In less than an afternoon, he had come to Yuntian with Sun Yunlu.
Tsk, what are you talking about? What does my coming to Yuntian with Sun Yunlu have to do with April Fool's Day? Xue Jinbao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He explained, "We are here to see Zheng Jing. Didn't you ask for Zheng Jing's number at noon? Yun Lu also specially called Zheng Jing. She said that she felt that Zheng Jing was in a bad mood and might have encountered something, so she wanted to come and see if I wanted to come with her. I have nothing to do now, so I came with her."
It was that simple? Chen Xing curled his lips. He didn't believe that Xue Jinbao, who was a playboy, would come with his ex-girlfriend to visit his university classmate.
Ahem, Chen Xing, we just took the car to Yuntian. I won't say much on the phone. Yun Lu and I are now waiting for Zheng Jing to pick us up. Let's set a time for dinner tonight. Are you free?
Xue Jinbao changed the topic. Sun Yunlu was beside him.
I have an appointment with Zheng Jing for dinner tonight. Since you are here, let's eat together. Chen Xing laughed. Looking at Xue Jinbao's attitude, he probably had some unrealistic thoughts about Sun Yunlu.
As he spoke, his phone rang again. Chen Xing couldn't help but say, "I guess Zheng Jing is calling me. Let's not talk about it now. See you later."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Xing looked at the caller ID. As expected, it was Zheng Jing who called to tell him about Xue Jinbao and Sun Yunlu. They were going to have dinner together tonight.
After confirming the restaurant with Zheng Jing, Chen Xing took a taxi to the roadside. He called Qin Minghua and told them not to wait for him for dinner.
When Chen Xing arrived at the hotel, he didn't rush to go upstairs. Instead, he sat on the sofa in the lobby and waited. In less than two or three minutes, he saw Zheng Jing with Xue Jinbao and Sun Yunlu at the entrance of the hotel. Chen Xing was a little surprised. He stood up and smiled. How come they are so fast?
My house is very close to the central bus station, it is only a few minutes drive. Zheng Jing said. She glanced at Sun Yunlu and Xue Jinbao and shook her head with a wry smile. Why didn't they tell me first that they were coming? I wasn't prepared at all. When I first received the call, I thought it was a joke.
Zheng Jing, I wanted to give you a surprise. Xue Jinbao said with a cheeky smile. How was it? Weren't you happy to see your old classmate?
Happy, of course I am happy. Zheng Jing smiled. There were a lot of surprises today. She was really happy.
Well, let's not stand here and catch up. Let's go upstairs first. Chen Xing said. He could see that Zheng Jing was not in a good mood. Her smile was forced. However, knowing Zheng Jing's current family situation, it was not difficult to understand her mood at the moment.
As they chatted, they went upstairs. Chen Xing also greeted Sun Yunlu. Just like Zheng Jing, he and Sun Yunlu were not very familiar with each other during their university days. After graduation, they had not contacted each other. Therefore, it was a little strange for them to catch up with each other.
Chen Xing, where are you working now? I haven't heard from you for many years. In the elevator, Sun Yunlu asked casually.
Now I am temporarily in the capital, but I am just wandering around. Chen Xing said with a smile.
Chen Xing is working for the government, which is much better than unemployed people like us who are just waiting to die. Xue Jinbao interrupted with a smile.
Well, Young Master Xue, you can mock me as much as you want. Everyone knows that you are the second generation of a rich family. Your family has so much money that you can't spend it all. I work hard all day to earn a little salary. Chen Xing laughed. They were making fun of each other. It felt like they were back in college.
They went to the Chinese restaurant on the third floor of the hotel. When they were seated, Chen Xing saw Xue Jinbao pulling out a chair for Sun Yunlu. The corner of his mouth twitched. While Xue Jinbao sat down beside him, Chen Xing whispered to Xue Jinbao, "Jinbao, are you still thinking about your Yunlu? She is a married woman."
"No, it's nothing. Keep your voice down. Don't let Yunlu hear it." Xue Jinbao was startled. He winked at Chen Xing, for fear that Chen Xing would say it.
"Zheng Jing, order the dishes. You are the host tonight. We will sit and wait for the food." Xue Jinbao handed the menu to Zheng Jing with a smile.
"Jinbao, it's a headache for me to order dishes. Besides, I don't know what you like to eat. You and Chen Xing can order. Anyway, I am very casual about food. I know Yunlu is not picky about food like me, so you can order." Zheng Jing smiled bitterly.
"Chen Xing and I are not picky." Xue Jinbao said with a smile.
Chen Xing couldn't help but poke Xue Jinbao's arm. "She asked you to order, so you ordered. She gave you a chance to please her, so you ordered."
Chen Xing knew that Zheng Jing was in a bad mood and was not in the mood to order dishes. Seeing that Xue Jinbao still wanted to talk nonsense, Chen Xing curled his lips. "Jinbao, order quickly. Don't be so long-winded. Come to Zheng Jing's house after eating."
"Zheng Jing, you are welcome to be our guest." Chen Xing turned to look at Zheng Jing.
"Of course you are welcome." Zheng Jing forced a smile. She didn't know if Yang Long would really go to her house to collect the debt, but she didn't want her old classmates to go to her house. It wasn't that she didn't want them to go, but she was afraid that they would see Yang Long making trouble in the past. She didn't want them to see that terrible scene.
"Zheng Jing, what's wrong with you? Did something happen to you?" Sun Yunlu asked with concern. As a woman, she could sense Zheng Jing's mood. She had sensed it on the phone at noon. Thinking that she was not happy at home during this period, she wanted to see Zheng Jing and take it as a way to relax.
"Nothing. You are here today. Don't talk about those unhappy things. Let's eat happily." Zheng Jing shook her head and glanced at Chen Xing. She meant to tell Chen Xing not to say anything else.
Zheng Jing didn't want to affect tonight's classmate gathering, but reality didn't let her get what she wanted. After talking for a while, her phone rang. It was her mother-in-law. She told her that someone was shouting loudly outside and kept knocking on the door. They didn't open the door, so the other party began to curse and kick the door. The two old people and the child were at a loss.
Hearing this, Zheng Jing's face turned pale. Before she came out, she had specially told her parents-in-law not to open the door for anyone unless they were waiting for her. At that time, it was just a precaution. Zheng Jing didn't think that Yang Long would really make trouble, let alone go there so early. Although Yang Long had been forcing her to pay the debt, he had never come to her house to make trouble. Unexpectedly, what he said at noon was not a threat, but a real action.
