Sister, have you had an abortion?
Chapter 176 Sister, Have You Had an Abortion? (Part 2)
After driving for a while, Chen Miao arrived at his cousin Chen Muqing's home in Shannan City.
Chen Muqing is three years older than Chen Miao and is quite pretty; or rather, the Chen family has good genes.
Unlike Chen Miao, Chen Muqing chose finance as her major when she took the college entrance exam, a major that has nothing to do with funerals.
After graduation, she went to work at a bank in risk management and credit approval.
Chen Miao had been dating someone for the past two years. He was a talented young man who owned his own company, and Chen Miao had met him a few times during holidays.
The man's family seemed to be well-off, but after only a few meetings, Chen Miao noticed something.
The man doesn't know what his uncle does.
Or rather, I didn't know that my uncle started out in the funeral home business; I only knew that he had some shops that were collecting rent.
This incident made Chen Miao somewhat dissatisfied with his cousin.
Of course, apart from this incident, my cousin is not an unpleasant person in other aspects, and she is also very nice to her cousin Chen Miao.
Chen Miao drove the car all the way to the outside of the residential area without entering the garage.
He discovered that he had something else that he could give to his cousin along with it.
That was the "Thank God Black Gold Card" that Xie Songde had given him before.
Chen Miao himself rarely uses this card, and Xiang Shang has even less chance of using it.
Therefore, settling in Shannan City is the best choice for Chen Muqing.
Of course, Chen Miao didn't give the card to Chen Muqing, but rather opened a supplementary card for Chen Muqing.
"Sis, I'm here, you can come down now."
Chen Miao had already contacted Chen Muqing, so he called her directly to ask her to come downstairs.
Soon, Chen Muqing and her boyfriend Shao Qidong left the residential area together.
"Have you eaten? I'll take you to eat."
"Why does this kid seem to be getting whiter? Can a funeral home even whiten skin?"
As soon as Chen Muqing left the residential area, she saw Chen Miao standing next to the car. Without asking Chen Miao why she had asked her to get out, she directly pulled Chen Miao to go eat.
Upon hearing Chen Muqing's thoughts, Chen Miao's eyes twitched slightly.
"Sis, go take care of your business first, we can eat later."
Chen Miao nodded to Shao Qidong, and then said, "Oh, right, there's also something your uncle asked me to bring you. I'll bring it up to you when I get back."
Chen Muqing knew that her family had brought him something, but she was more curious about what Chen Miao was talking about: "What is it?"
"Get in the car first, we'll talk on the way."
As Chen Miao spoke, he had already gotten into the driver's seat.
Chen Muqing was alright; she got into Chen Miao's passenger seat without saying anything.
Shao Qidong hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'll go get the car. Sanshui won't need to drive me back later."
After saying that, Shao Qidong returned to his residential compound.
Chen Miao watched Shao Qidong's retreating figure, then turned to look at Chen Muqing.
"Did you tell Dong Ge about my job at the funeral home?"
Chen Muqing's smile faded slightly.
"Yes, I did. I even said you're the curator."
"Sanshui, it's hard to change the mindset of people like that, don't take it to heart."
"If even people from Qidong look down on Sanshui, will their future partners from Sanshui also look down on them?"
Chen Miao smiled but didn't say anything.
He knew what Chen Muqing meant by 'disdain'.
Shao Qidong didn't get into his car because he was afraid of bad luck.
But at least the other party was quite polite and didn't drag Chen Muqing down with them.
In short, this is Chen Muqing's business, and she can decide how to handle it herself, as long as Shao Qidong is a good person.
If you don't like Chen Miao, then so be it.
After all, it's not like Chen Miao and Shao Qidong are living together.
Soon, the two cars headed towards their destination one after the other.
Chen Muqing was somewhat surprised to see that the location Chen Miao had asked her to send to Shao Qidong was a bar.
"Chen Miao, you want to drink? When did you start liking this? Are you looking for a girlfriend? There are quite a few young, beautiful, and wealthy women in my company. Want me to introduce you to some? Don't be shy, finding a girlfriend isn't that hard."
Listening to Chen Muqing's string of words, Chen Miao felt somewhat helpless.
That is, the closest place to them is a bar under the name of "Thank God". If it were located to a bathhouse under the name of "Thank God", what would Chen Muqing think?
Chen Miao took out the black gold card.
“A friend gave me a card with high privileges. I’m not in Shannan City, so I was thinking of opening a supplementary card for you. Why not take advantage of it?”
Chen Muqing accepted the black gold card, a look of surprise on her face.
Her job allowed her to learn the names of many high-quality companies in Shannan City, and the Xie Group, to which "Thank God" belongs, is one of them.
These kinds of companies are usually the VIPs of bank loan officers, since everyone wants to lend to people who can repay their loans.
Chen Muqing knew a colleague who had a "Thank God" platinum card, but he got it himself to build relationships with the bosses of the Xie Group.
After all, when discussing business, pulling out your card and saying "I'm a loyal customer of your company" is more likely to make the other party happy than saying a hundred nice things.
Chen Muqing had also learned that there were four types of cards under the name of "Thank God". The first type was the ordinary membership card with an annual fee of 288. The second type was the VIP card with an annual fee of 2888. The third type was the platinum card with an annual fee of 28888.
The annual fee is simply the cost of holding the card. Different cards offer different services, but the annual fee cannot offset other expenses.
The fourth type is the Black Gold Card.
There is no annual fee for the Black Gold Card because this card is not sold to the public. Being able to obtain one means that you know at least one of the owners of the Xie Group.
This understanding isn't based on having met, but on having a real relationship.
At least, Chen Muqing didn't have that kind of relationship, and neither did her boyfriend.
Moreover, according to Chen Miao, the card seemed to have been delivered to them in a rush.
"Sanshui, how did you get here?"
Chen Miao smiled and said, "I did something for a boss surnamed Xie, and he thought I did a good job, so he gave me a card."
Chen Muqing's mouth was slightly open.
What can Chen Miao do?
Besides funeral-related items, what else could it be?
Could it be that Chen Miao helped one of the Xie family's bosses with some kind of funeral, and did it very well?
But because the funeral was handled well, they were given a black gold card.
Is this reasonable?
If black cards were so easy to obtain, they would lose their inherent value.
Even if Chen Muqing told her friends about this, they wouldn't believe her.
But Chen Miao, there's no need for him to lie to her about this!
In that instant, Chen Muqing thought of her father, who refused to come to Shannan City from Tianmen County.
Is it true that her father knows many important people?
at the same time.
Far away in Tianmen County, Chen Weiyi, who was playing chess with someone, sneezed and then glared angrily at the old man opposite him.
"I have a cold today and I'm not feeling well, I'll try again tomorrow!"
……
Soon, the three arrived at the bar.
After getting out of the car, Shao Qidong heard about the black gold card from Chen Muqing, and he looked at Chen Miao with some surprise.
"Chen Miao is not bad."
Shao Qidong praised Chen Miao, but he still felt a little regretful.
He knew that with this card in Chen Miao's hands, Chen Miao could only utilize one-tenth of its value, or even less.
However, he also knew that even if Chen Miao gave him the card, he wouldn't be able to use it.
The boss of the Xie Group isn't stupid. He won't help you just because you show him a card, no matter who you are. He remembers Chen Miao, not Shao Qidong, and not the card!
Of course, if Chen Miao were to go along, there would be a chance.
However, Shao Qidong's current business has no connection with the Xie Group, so he doesn't need Chen Miao to pave the way for him.
However, it was more useful for him after Chen Muqing got the supplementary card.
After all, it's more fun to play without spending your own money.
With that in mind, Shao Qidong no longer had much to say about Chen Muqing riding in Chen Miao's car.
Capable people always receive more goodwill.
Chen Miao deeply understands this, because he has already felt the warmth of kindness from Shao Qidong.
"Sir, this is your supplementary card, please keep it safe."
"Thank you."
Chen Miao handed the supplementary credit card to Chen Muqing and then said, "Let's go. Didn't you just say you were going to treat me to dinner? What should we eat?"
Chen Muqing was playing with the card in her hand when she heard Chen Miao say this. She smiled and said, "Since you're already here, why don't you have something to drink before you leave? Bars don't just have alcohol. You two can have some juice."
Chen Miao didn't care, but Shao Qidong was a little embarrassed.
"Drinking juice? If someone I know saw me, they'd probably laugh at me."
"What are you laughing at? Don't drink and drive. If you want to drink, then take a car from Sanshui back later."
Knowing that Shao Qidong wouldn't ride in Chen Miao's car, Chen Muqing walked into the bar after saying that.
The waiter, who had been respectfully waiting nearby, saw that the three intended to go in and immediately spoke into the microphone on his collar: "Friends of the three bosses, please prepare a private viewing room on the second floor..."
He repeated this three times before leading the three of them toward the VIP passage, but Chen Muqing did not follow.
Chen Muqing turned to Chen Miao and asked, "Sanshui, have you been to a bar before?"
"I've been to places near the school with my classmates before, but not many times."
Chen Muqing nodded knowingly, then said to the waiter who was leading the way, "No need, a booth in the lobby will do."
"Can you even call that a bar near the school? It's better to show Sanshui what a proper bar is like, otherwise he won't know how to find girls in bars later."
Without any hesitation, the waiter immediately changed lanes and led the way.
Soon, the three of them were taken to the best booth.
Before long, the fruit platter and other dishes were served. When it came time to serve the wine, Chen Muqing originally wanted to say one glass, but Shao Qidong asked for two glasses first, and then asked Chen Miao for a glass of juice.
Seeing the surprise in Chen Muqing's eyes, Shao Qidong smiled and said, "Didn't you say you were going to ride in Chen Miao's car?"
After she finished speaking, Chen Muqing looked even more surprised; she even doubted whether she had misheard.
After all, he had just told Chen Miao that people like Shao Qidong were hard to change, so how come he has changed now?
Shao Qidong ignored the surprise in Chen Muqing's eyes and moved closer to her, saying, "I just caught a glimpse of a few familiar faces."
Chen Muqing's attention was then diverted.
"Who?"
“Huang Jinjin, there are a few more people. When I saw them, they should have seen me too.”
Chen Muqing glanced at Shao Qidong and snorted coldly.
Chen Miao ignored the couple's whispers and instead looked at the bar stage.
What puzzled Chen Miao was that he didn't see a DJ spinning records; he only saw a band playing soothing songs.
After voicing her doubts, Chen Muqing explained it to Chen Miao.
It turns out that the "Thank God" bar only switches to its more lively mode after 10 pm; before 10 pm, it's more of a quiet and elegant place.
This might explain why the bar is quite crowded even during the day.
Chen Miao thought it made sense; otherwise, while someone was worrying, the DJ would already be having a blast.
Just as Chen Miao was enjoying the sights of the big city, a group of four people walked from another location and stood in front of the booth.
Chen Miao's gaze was immediately drawn to a woman.
"Shao Qidong, what brings you here today?"
Shao Qidong smiled but didn't stand up: "I'm with my girlfriend."
The word "girlfriend" made Huang Jinjin's smile freeze for a moment.
"Hehe, that's so nice. I've never seen you so considerate when we were together before."
"Sure enough, what they say in the jokes is true: only those who have broken up can truly feel the pain."
Upon hearing Huang Jinjin's words, Chen Muqing smiled and looked at the man next to Huang Jinjin.
Is this your boyfriend?
"how?"
Huang Jinjin leaned back against her man, a half-smile playing on her lips.
"Nothing much, it's just that your boyfriend seems to take good care of you."
Upon hearing this, the man who had just been holding Huang Jinjin's waist froze, and Huang Jinjin's smile vanished.
Just as she was about to say something, she saw Chen Miao sitting next to her.
Looking at Chen Miao's face, which bore a resemblance to Chen Muqing's, Huang Jinjin suddenly sneered, "Chen Muqing, who is this to you? Have you never seen a woman before?"
Chen Muqing was taken aback and looked at Chen Miao.
Seeing that Chen Miao's gaze was fixed on Huang Jinjin, a murderous intent appeared in her eyes.
"Hehe, just a kid, he's never seen the world."
"is it?"
Huang Jinjin giggled and pushed her boyfriend away, then sat down next to Chen Miao.
"Little brother, want to date?"
Huang Jinjin's words wiped the smile off Chen Muqing's face.
"Chen Miao, come here!"
"You good-for-nothing! If you really want to find a partner, I'll introduce you to someone! Why are you even looking at Huang Jinjin!"
Chen Miao finally shifted his gaze from Huang Jinjin to Chen Muqing.
Just as he was about to go over, Huang Jinjin unexpectedly stopped him.
"Little brother, your big sister is asking you a question. Do you want to date? If you do, your big sister will show you around every day!"
Looking at Huang Jinjin's exquisite makeup, Chen Miao was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Can I ask you a question?"
"If you want to ask if I have a boyfriend? Hehe, I did a moment ago, but not anymore. You don't mind, do you?"
Huang Jinjin looked aggrieved, and anyone who saw her would want to hug and comfort her.
Chen Miao shook his head: "Sister, have you had an abortion?"
One sentence was enough to make the atmosphere in the booth awkward.
Before Huang Jinjin could react, Chen Muqing reached out and pulled Chen Miao to her side, afraid that Huang Jinjin, whose face had already frozen, would slap Chen Miao.
To Chen Muqing's surprise, Huang Jinjin didn't lose her temper. Instead, she calmly looked at Chen Miao and asked, "Where did you find out?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Miao looked at the small figure, no bigger than two palms, that was clinging to Chen Muqing's neck and emitting a faint red glow.
Chen Miao did not activate his Yin-Yang Eyes when Huang Jinjin arrived.
But when Huang Jinjin approached, the yin energy emanating from her, far stronger than that of the others, made him realize that there was something wrong with her.
That's why his gaze remained fixed on Huang Jinjin.
Until he activated his Yin-Yang Eyes, he saw this scene.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Miao told the truth:
"have witnessed."
