Chapter 44

It Was Her

At this moment, Qin Mo noticed that there was another person standing next to Su Wanxing.

She was also dressed head-to-toe in designer brands, wearing a sexy and hot bodycon mini skirt and sporting a very trendy influencer makeup look.

If she weren't standing next to Su Wanxing, she would still be a beautiful sight.

But behind the sunglasses, her gaze toward Qin Mo was full of disdain.

"Yingsi, stop talking nonsense."

Su Wanxing patted the woman next to her, her tone reproachful, indicating that they had a good relationship.

She explained helplessly to Qin Mo, "This is my college roommate, Wu Yingsi, who is also my best friend."

"I received her call as soon as I arrived here. She happened to be eating nearby, so I came over."

"You don't mind, do you?"

Before Qin Mo could speak, Wu Yingsi rolled her eyes: "Wanxing, you're being too cowardly. He's just a live-in son-in-law, he hasn't even stepped foot in the Su family yet, why are you being so polite with him?"

"What, does he dare to mind?"

Wu Yingsi crossed her arms and sneered, "If you mind, you can get lost now."

"There are plenty of men willing to serve us faithfully, but you're disobedient? Just find another one."

Su Wanxing frowned.

Others may not know, but she is clear about her relationship with Qin Mo.

At the very least, basic respect must be given.

"Yingsi, if you keep talking like that, I'm leaving too."

After saying that, Su Wanxing pulled Qin Mo up and prepared to leave.

"Hey, hey, don't go!"

Wu Yingsi quickly grabbed her: "Look at you, I was just joking, just testing your fiancé for you, and you're already protecting him?"

"Okay, let's go up soon, I'm starving."

Since he was her friend, Su Wanxing couldn't say anything more and could only apologize to Qin Mo: "I'm sorry, my friend just now..."

Qin Mo remained calm: "It's alright, I understand."

He never really intended to marry Su Wanxing; he was just here for a follow-up appointment and to have a meal.

He was hungry after a whole morning of running around.

Seeing that Qin Mo didn't react, Wu Yingsi curled up her lips and looked even more disdainful.

As expected of someone from a humble background, they didn't dare utter a single word.

She pulled Su Wanxing inside first, with Qin Mo following behind.

We chose a French restaurant for lunch, only to find out when we arrived that Wu Yingsi had made the choice; they had reserved a table on the second floor.

Upon reaching the top of the stairs, Wu Yingsi, who had been chatting with Su Wanxing about jewelry, let out a soft gasp.

"Wanxing, look! Isn't that Ye Hongyan?"

Ye Hongyan?

Upon hearing this name, Qin Mo couldn't help but look up.

A voluptuous and alluring woman sat by the floor-to-ceiling window.

Even dressed in all black, she is still eye-catching enough.

Being in the same high society circle, Wu Yingsi naturally recognized this influential figure at a glance.

Su Wanxing was also a little surprised: "It really is her. She must be here to eat. Let's not disturb her."

Wu Yingsi nodded:

"I've long heard the story of Ye Hongyan's rise from nothing to become a powerful figure in the underground world of Xichuan."

"This kind of strong woman is truly my idol!"

"But she has such a strong presence, I didn't dare to go up and talk to her."

Wu Yingsi's eyes lit up, but she didn't go over to disturb them.

She was just a rich second-generation heiress waiting for an arranged marriage; she didn't take over the family business.

A woman like Ye Hongyan would sit with her parents at the dinner party.

Even Su Wanxing herself doesn't have that qualification yet.

Qin Mo glanced over there and his eyes met Ye Hongyan's.

He remembered that this woman was the one who had been secretly spying on him at the club.

Lin Bosheng mentioned her this morning, and now we've run into her?

"What a coincidence?"

He muttered something, but no one heard him.

"Yingsi, Wanxing, you're here?"

At this moment, a young man stood up at a table not far from Ye Hongyan.

He was wearing a casual top by Laren Lauf and slim-fit suit trousers.

From head to toe, he was impeccably groomed, exuding the air of a young master.

"Oh? Wanxing, is this your friend?"

The young man looked Qin Mo up and down, somewhat surprised.

"Young Master Zhai, you're way behind the times, aren't you?"

Wu Yingsi pulled out a chair and sat down, saying with a half-smile, "He is Wanxing's fiancé."

"What?"

Zhai Haoxiang's expression stiffened, and he forced a smile, saying, "Yingsi, that's not a funny joke. When did Wanxing get a fiancé?"

Su Wanxing said calmly, "Yingsi is not joking. This is Qin Mo, my fiancé. We just got engaged a few days ago."

"By the way, he is also my attending physician."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhai Haoxiang's expression became extremely interesting.

He looked Qin Mo up and down, but still couldn't believe it.

"Wanxing, is he the doctor you mentioned in the group chat...?"

Su Wanxing recovered and immediately announced it in their friends' group chat.

Furthermore, she introduced her savior.

But she didn't say she was going to get engaged to this doctor!

Wu Yingsi said sarcastically, "I really don't understand what you're thinking."

Even if he saved your life, he's still just a junior doctor, and his status is worlds apart from ours.

"You have neither money nor power, I don't know what you're after."

Wu Yingsi was disappointed in Qin Mo and started complaining about him in front of him.

Unexpectedly, Zhai Haoxiang's expression turned ugly first.

He knew that although he came from a good family, he was far from being worthy of the Su family's reputation.

So he secretly admired her, considering himself a good friend, and dared not overstep his bounds.

In his heart, Su Wanxing was like the bright moon in the sky, inviolable!

However, his beloved has now been defiled by an unknown person.

How can I not be angry?

Qin Mo sat down nonchalantly, as if he wasn't the one being talked about.

After taking their seats, Su Wanxing spoke first: "By the way, Young Master Zhai, since you're here, I have a favor to ask you."

"I remember your family has had business dealings with the Yang family before. If it's convenient, could you arrange a get-together for me and Mr. Yang?"

"I have a project in hand recently that may require the cooperation of the Yang family."

Although she has temporarily overcome the difficulties, she must produce tangible results to secure her position as CEO.

Upon hearing that he could serve the beauty, Zhai Haoxiang immediately patted his chest and agreed.

"Mr. Yang? I know him well!"

"He and Director Yang of the Garrison Command are cousins. The two brothers have come to my house for banquets before."

"No problem!"

In reality, his relationship with General Manager Yang and Director Yang was merely one of exchanging greetings upon meeting.

Since Su Wanxing had already said that, he couldn't refuse in front of others, so he readily agreed.

At the same time, she glanced at Qin Mo provocatively: See? You can't even get involved in what's going on in our circle.

Qin Mo was bored and didn't even glance at him.

"Okay!" Su Wanxing's face lit up with joy. "I'll treat you to dinner today as a thank you for your help."

After saying that, she called over a waiter.

The waitress who came to the French restaurant was a tall, blonde, blue-eyed girl; she was clearly a foreigner.

He was speaking fluent French.

Su Wanxing was about to hand the menu to Zhai Haoxiang when he declined, saying:

"Wanxing, that's where you're wrong."

"We're all old friends, there's no need to be so polite."

"But your fiancé is still a guest, so let him order first."
