Chapter 283 Meeting Chen Yi Again
When Shen Jing came out of the passageway, she looked unhappy. There were no other socialites that she had along with her for the blind date with her son. There was only an assistant that came with her.
Zhuang Liu knew that he was in the wrong and pushed his wheelchair to welcome her. When Shen Jing saw her son in the wheelchair, her anger dissipated by half.
“You! Even If you don’t want to go on a blind date, you can just tell me about it. Why did you do all those tricks behind my back?!” Shen Jing scolded him.
“The girls were originally happy to come with me, but once you spread those rumors behind their backs, they didn’t even have the audacity to get on the plane with me.”
Zhuang Liu was not angry after being scolded by her. “Mom, they don’t really like me. They just want to marry someone who could give them something good. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have chosen to stay in the Capital after hearing that I’m about to die.”
Shen Jing also knew that his leg was a big problem, but didn’t they say that it was almost cured? Was he lying to her?
“Tell me honestly. Are your legs really getting better?” Shen Jing asked urgently.
“Of course.” Zhuang Liu supported himself by the wheelchair and stood for a while.
“I can even stand up now.”
Seeing that her son could stand up, Shen Jing’s face broke into a bright smile. She didn’t further pursue her son’s little tricks.
“That’s good, that’s good.”
“You scared them away. They will definitely spread this rumor in the socialite circle in the capital. If that’s the case, will there be anyone who dares to marry you in the future?” Shen Jing was happy for a moment and then there was a wave of sadness.
“Mom, you don’t have to worry about this. I already have someone I like.” Zhuang Liu revealed a little secret.
“Is that true?”Shen Jing became even more excited. “Which family is she from?”
Thinking of Tan Rou, Zhuang Liu smiled. “She’s not from any rich family. She’s just an ordinary girl. I’ll introduce her to you later.”
Seeing his expression, Shen Jing was relieved. “The person you have your eyes on will definitely be someone great.”
Tan Rou ignored her and didn’t want to be stopped at the door. “Mrs. Tan, please move aside. You’re blocking my way.”
Zhuang Liu looked at the time and said, “Let’s head over to the restaurant and have lunch first.”
Shen Jing nodded. “Alright, let’s go.”
At ten o’clock in the morning, Tan Rou came out of the library after borrowing the books that she needed. Seeing that it was almost time, she took a taxi to the place that Zhuang Liu had booked. She did not ask Zhuang Liu to wait for her at the door. It was very hot that afternoon so it was better to stay in the shade.
In the end, she saw someone she did not want to see at the door.
“How dare you come here to eat?” Chen Yi carried her newly bought bag and walked arrogantly to Tan Rou. “Is this a restaurant that you can afford?”
Tan Rou ignored her and didn’t want to be stopped at the door. “Mrs. Tan, please move aside. You’re blocking my way.”
“Look at your tattered clothes. Do you deserve to be here? A meal here costs tens of thousands. Can you even afford it?” Chen Yi asked.
Tan Rou was angered by her. She said, “Well, it’s true that I may not have the money to do so but from what you’re saying, I’m guessing that you have offered to pay for my meal? Then I shall thank you in advance.”
Chen Yi’s smile froze. “Who said I’m going to pay for you?”
Tan Rou mocked, “I just thought that Mrs Tan must be someone incredibly rich. I didn’t think that you wouldn’t even have the money to pay me for a meal. If that’s the case, why are you still trying to show off your wealth?”
“Who says I can’t even afford to pay for a meal here?!” Chen Yi said angrily. “Let alone one meal, I can afford ten or even hundreds of meals!”
Tan Rou roughly counted the number of people in the hall today. There were about six or seven tables now. If she calculated it, it would be a considerable expenditure.
“Did everyone hear that?” Tan Rou raised her voice. “Mrs. Tan said that she can afford ten or a hundred meals. Let’s give her a chance to do so!”
Not everyone present at the restaurant was rich. There were also some who have brought over a friend or a client to buy them a meal but now that a rich lady was going to pay for them, they were more than happy.
“Thank you, Madam.”
“How generous!”
“You’re right! She is definitely from a rich family.
Chen Yi’s face turned green. She wished she could give Tan Rou a slap right now, but she still remembered what had happened at the Clear Stream Pavilion. Therefore, she didn’t dare to make a move rashly.
“Xiao Rou, what happened?” When Zhuang Liu heard the commotion, he asked Xiao Mo to push him over. That’s when he saw Chen Yi making things difficult for Tan Rou at the door.
Shen Jing also came over. She looked at the little girl carrying a school bag and then looked at Chen Yi. The balance in her heart tilted.
“Mrs. Tan, you’re already so old. Why are you still making things difficult for a little girl?” Shen Jing sneered.
“From the looks of it, this young lady must still only be a student. How did she manage to offend a noble lady like you?”
