Chapter 31 - 31 30 Picked Up the Wrong Person

?31: Chapter 30: Picked Up the Wrong Person 31: Chapter 30: Picked Up the Wrong Person A social media-famous Chinese restaurant that is simply decorated and low-profile.

‘Lin Quan’ brought her here.

Tang Xi frowned slightly, watching his familiarity with the place, he didn’t seem to be new to North City.

For such a famous Chinese restaurant, she felt somewhat constrained; it was Tang Xi’s first time here, and subconsciously, she felt a bit of a pinch—dining here must be expensive.

But after all, he was a friend of Zhao Yixing, and Ruan Youqing had instructed her herself.

Tang Xi secretly gritted her teeth, decided to let it go, and endured.

After being seated, ‘Lin Quan’ handed her the menu, “Take a look, anything you’d like to eat?”

Tang Xi glanced at the prices and her eyes widened.

So expensive?

A meal here must cost thousands.

She didn’t order and handed the menu back to him, “You order, you are the guest.

It’s your first time in North City, right?

After we eat, I’ll take you to the hotel.”

The man handed the menu to the waiter, “Serve your signature dishes, please.”

Tang Xi had a late breakfast, so she wasn’t hungry.

She watched ‘Lin Quan’ eat a few bites and put his chopsticks down, then she asked puzzledly, “Is it not to your taste?

Do you want to order something else?” After all, it was what Ruan Youqing asked for, and he was a friend of Zhao Yixing.

Tang Xi looked at the six-dish two-soup spread—did none of it suit his taste?

It seemed that this ‘Lin Quan’ was quite picky.

Six dishes, over two thousand yuan, Tang Xi instantly felt the pinch.

The man picked up the menu again, preparing to order two more dishes.

Tang Xi looked at the almost untouched dishes on the table and quickly stopped him, “You haven’t eaten these.”

The man raised his eyebrows lightly, “I don’t like them.”

“Um…” Tang Xi was stunned for a moment.

“You don’t like any of these?” This Lin Quan is really wasteful…

Tang Xi felt helpless, although this man was Zhao Yixing’s friend and it was her first time hosting, she should show some respect.

But at that moment, Tang Xi hesitated then said, “This is too wasteful.

If you don’t like it, don’t order so much.

Just two or three dishes are enough for the two of us.

Ordering so much and then not eating, wasting food, it’s not right.”

Xiao Chi was stunned for a moment; he looked at the slightly angry woman in front of him.

At this moment, her eyes slightly widened.

Like a cat that had its tail stepped on, there was an indescribable cuteness.

It was the first time someone told him not to waste.

He lightly raised his eyebrows and put down the menu.

“You, are you short on money?”

The man pointed it out directly.

Tang Xi’s face slightly reddened, the woman pursed her lips.

She was short on money, very much indeed.

But being short on money wasn’t illegal or wrong.

Tang Xi didn’t feel there was anything wrong.

Though her face was slightly red, her eyes were clear and firm, and she did not argue but directly admitted, “Yes, money is a good thing, who doesn’t need it?”

The man looked at her with some amusement.

This woman was indeed interesting, different from what he expected.

This was good too; hopefully, the time that follows won’t be so dull.

‘Buzz buzz’ Tang Xi’s phone vibrated.

She answered it immediately.

“Youqing, is the surgery over?”

On the other end, Ruan Youqing’s voice was a bit urgent, “I just came out, Xiao Xi, did you pick up the wrong person?

Zhao Yixing called me in anger, saying Lin Quan waited at the airport for over an hour and then went to the hotel on his own.”

“What?” Picked up the wrong person?

Tang Xi slowly lifted her head to look at the young man in front of her.

Her phone was an old model, and given that they were in a second-floor private room, the space was quiet.

Her call, the urgent voice of Ruan Youqing on the other end, the man across clearly heard as well, and when their eyes met, he still lightly smiled and raised his eyebrows.

She stood up, looking warily at him, “Who are you?

You’re not Lin Quan!”

On the other end, Ruan Youqing exclaimed, “What’s wrong Xiao Xi, who are you with?”

Tang Xi hung up and sent Ruan Youqing a message to talk later.

She looked at the man opposite her.

He also stood up, a charming smile on his face, “Hello, let me introduce myself, my name is Xiao Chi.”

Tang Xi’s expression darkened for a moment, feeling deceived.

Clearly, this man had just pronounced her name, and when she asked if he was Lin Quan, he didn’t refute it.

It was obvious that he was intentionally playing her.

Although she didn’t know him, it was clear that he was deliberately toying with her.

However, she nodded slightly, maintaining the most basic courtesy, “Since it’s a misunderstanding, it’s good to clarify.

Please enjoy your meal; I will leave first.”

Speaking, Tang Xi walked straight out of the private room.

As she descended the stairs, someone was climbing up, and they almost bumped into each other, Tang Xi gently sidestepped.

Unexpectedly, the other party started to be relentless, “Are you blind?”

This sharp female voice.

Tang Xi looked up at her.

Lin Manxue snorted coldly, “Tang Xi, so it’s you.

Hooking up with rich people, huh?

Even coming to such an expensive restaurant to eat.”

Tang Xi ignored her and kept walking down with her head down.

She then heard Xu Manxue chatting with her girlfriends, “This woman is Tang Xi, Mengshu’s shameless little sister, look at the clothes she’s wearing, a poor ghost, I could smell the rotting scent of poverty as she passed by me, you probably don’t know, but she was jailed a few days ago for stealing jewelry, and now she’s probably hooked up with a rich guy and got out…”

“I also heard, she hooked up with her brother-in-law…

which is why Mengshu, being kind-hearted, doesn’t bother her…”

Tang Xi’s face turned pale, and she paused in her steps.

Her fingers clenched tightly, but eventually, she weakly let go.

She slowly lowered her eyelashes and walked out of the restaurant.

The 3 PM sun at the end of May was warm, but she couldn’t feel any warmth.

–

Xiao Chi slowly walked down the stairs, passing by two young women who were talking about Tang Xi’s name, completely lacking the demeanor of wealthy daughters, full of abusive words.

The man slightly raised an eyebrow.

He reached the cashier where the manager respectfully looked at Xiao Chi, “Young Master, was there anything unsatisfactory about today’s meal?”

This Chinese restaurant belonged to the Xiao Group’s catering industry.

Xiao Chi casually hummed, carelessly tapped on the table, “Those two women who just left, don’t serve them.

Don’t let them come in the future either.”

The manager hesitated, “But…

Miss Xu and Miss Jiang are our gold card members…”

Before he could finish, seeing Xiao Chi’s gaze turning cold, he trembled and immediately said, “Yes, sir.”

Then he notified the waitstaff, and in a few minutes, Xu Manxue and her girlfriends, cursing and swearing, were thrown out the door by two bouncers.

–

In the evening, she chatted with Ruan Youqing about this Xiao Chi incident.

Mistaking someone for someone else.

But from Ruan Youqing, she learned that Lin Quan was a woman.

“What, she’s a woman?” She initially thought this name belonged to a man.

Ruan Youqing seemed a bit frustrated mentioning this, as she also didn’t know beforehand that Lin Quan was a woman.

Zhao Yixing didn’t tell her either, making her now somewhat embarrassed.

It’s not that she was insensitive towards the females around Zhao Yixing; she chose to trust Zhao Yixing.

However, Zhao Yixing had called her, complaining that she hadn’t taken Lin Quan seriously enough.

Ruan Youqing frowned, “Yixing, you didn’t say Lin Quan was a woman at first, and also…”

“Youqing, I’m sorry, I was just too hasty earlier.

Lin Quan is a very good classmate of mine; her family runs a finance company.

She helped me a lot abroad, and this time when I return to my country, she also helped me network…”

Ruan Youqing, “Alright then…

I’m off tomorrow, I’ll take her shopping.”

“Youqing, I knew you’re the best.

When I return, I’ll spend lots of time with you.”

Thinking of their happy future together, a smile appeared on Ruan Youqing’s face, “Alright.”
