Chapter 930
Supporting the Scene
Xu Bo'an had just reached the restaurant entrance when he ran into his cousin Li Ruiming, who was walking out of the restaurant.
When Li Ruiming saw Xu Bo'an arrive, he walked up to him happily and said, "Bo'an, you're such a busy person, and you still have to come out to eat with me. I'm sorry to have troubled you!"
Xu Bo'an said to Li Ruiming, "You're my cousin who grew up with me, so it's too formal to say that. I'm overjoyed that you've found someone you like, and I'm more than happy to come and support you. We should at least have a couple of drinks later!"
Li Ruiming looked at Xu Bo'an with a beaming smile and said happily, "Brother, no problem!"
The two chatted as they walked toward the private room that Li Ruiming and his group had booked in advance.
It was a little past 11 a.m., and the restaurant wasn't very crowded yet. Xu Bo'an's extremely keen senses clearly heard a woman's voice: "Mom and Dad, just arrive around noon! Remember to say what you should say, and don't say what you shouldn't say. Okay, that's all!"
At the same time, Li Ruiming led Xu Bo'an to the door of the private room. Li Ruiming opened the door and went inside with Xu Bo'an.
Li Ruiming introduced his girlfriend, who was already waiting in the private room, to her: "Yu'er, this is my cousin, the big boss of Kangtian Pharmaceutical Factory!"
The woman quickly put away her phone, which she had just hung up, and walked up to Xu Bo'an with a smile. She extended her hand to him and said politely, "Hello, I'm Lin Jingyu, and I'm Ruiming's girlfriend now!"
Xu Bo'an recognized Lin Jingyu's voice as being exactly the same as the voice he had overheard earlier. Furthermore, when they entered, Lin Jingyu was busy putting away her phone, and the sound was likely coming from this direction. Therefore, Xu Bo'an concluded that the voice he had heard was from Li Ruiming's new girlfriend, Lin Jingyu.
If that's the case, then it means that today's dinner party not only included himself, Li Ruiming and his girlfriend Lin Jingyu, but also Lin Jingyu's parents. However, when Li Ruiming called him this morning, Xu Bo'an clearly remembered his cousin telling him that there were only the three of them at today's dinner party.
What's going on? Could it be that Li Ruiming didn't tell me beforehand that the woman's parents were also there because he was worried that too many of us wouldn't be able to come?
But based on Xu Bo'an's understanding of Li Ruiming, Li Ruiming couldn't possibly be that kind of person! Or perhaps he trusted him too much and thought he wouldn't lie to him, but in reality, that's exactly what Li Ruiming thought?
After Lin Jingyu introduced herself to Xu Bo'an, one of her hands was still hanging in mid-air, ready to shake hands with Xu Bo'an. However, after a while, Xu Bo'an showed no intention of shaking hands with her at all.
At this moment, Lin Jingyu's facial expression was extremely awkward. She had already extended her hand, and it would be too embarrassing to pull it back. However, Xu Bo'an did not shake hands with her at all. If she just kept extending her hand and waiting for him to shake her hand, it would still be just as awkward. In any case, whether she continued to extend her hand and wait for Xu Bo'an to shake her hand, or she wisely extended her hand back, it would be just as awkward for Lin Jingyu.
Li Ruiming noticed the embarrassment on his girlfriend Lin Jingyu's face, and quickly looked at Xu Bo'an, reaching out to touch Xu Bo'an's arm and reminding him, "Bo'an, Yu'er is shaking hands with you!"
Xu Bo'an quickly extended his hand and politely shook hands with Lin Jingyu, then said, "Sorry, I was a little distracted just now!"
Because Lin Jingyu was her cousin Li Ruiming's girlfriend, Xu Bo'an was very polite to her and apologized for his seemingly impolite behavior earlier. Upon hearing Xu Bo'an's apology, Lin Jingyu's embarrassed expression turned into a smile, and she said to him, "It's alright, we're all family!"
Li Ruiming chimed in, "Yes, yes, we're all on the same side, no need to be so polite. Please sit down, let's sit down and talk!"
Then, under Li Ruiming's arrangement, the group sat down.
Xu Bo'an spoke first to Li Ruiming, saying, "Cousin, no wonder you've had a crush on her for so long, it turns out she's just that pretty!"
Actually, Lin Jingyu's appearance isn't particularly beautiful; at most, she's of average looks, and she's also a bit on the chubby side.
Xu Bo'an has seen so many beautiful women, such as Chen Pingping, Bai Susu, Wang Zhilan, the president of Lianye Group, as well as female PhD Su Jie, and Jiang Yueran of Su Xing, etc. These are all top-notch beauties in the real world. Even Yang Mi, the most famous first-line female star in mainland China, has been in contact with Xu Bo'an many times.
All of the above are secondary. Chen Shishi from the bonsai world is the queen of flowers. Her appearance is so stunning that flowers bloom and cars get flat tires when they see her. She can definitely be called a beauty that could topple kingdoms.
Xu Bo'an had even seen a woman as beautiful as Chen Shishi, so for someone who had seen countless high-quality beauties, his praise of Lin Jingyu was merely out of respect for his cousin and out of politeness for meeting her for the first time!
Xu Bo'an understood that he was here today specifically to support his cousin, and that saying some nice things would make everyone happy!
Any woman would be happy to hear someone compliment her on her beauty, and Lin Jingyu was no exception. Hearing Xu Bo'an praise her like that made her feel wonderful, and a sweet smile unconsciously appeared on her face.
Li Ruiming smiled and said to Xu Bo'an, "Yu'er is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Her appearance is undoubtedly flawless, but what I value most is her inner qualities. She is kind, gentle, and understanding!"
Xu Bo'an teased Li Ruiming, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, huh? Alright, stop showing off your love in front of a single guy like me! It's so sour!"
Li Ruiming said to Xu Bo'an, "Bo'an, don't be modest. With your current status and position, do you really need to worry about not finding a girlfriend? The most important thing is whether you want to find one, not whether you can find one!"
What Li Ruiming said was indeed true, but even though it was true, if Xu Bo'an admitted it, it would make him seem a bit too arrogant. So after hearing Li Ruiming's words, Xu Bo'an smiled in response and did not say anything else.
Sitting beside him, Li Ruiming's girlfriend, Lin Jingyu, echoed his words, praising Xu Bo'an: "I've always heard people say that the big boss of Kangtai Pharmaceutical Factory is very capable. I always thought he was an older man. But after meeting you today, I realize that you are not only young but also very handsome. A young talent like you must have many beautiful women pursuing you!"
