Quick Wear: She Became the Beloved of the Short-lived Male Supporting Character
Chapter 191 The Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Role in the Substitute Article (12)
Pei Tingchuan thought about his life and for a moment he didn't know where to start.
The other party saw through his dilemma.
"If you don't feel comfortable saying it, it's okay if you don't say it."
He shook his head. "No, I just didn't know where to start. My father and mother died when I was very young. I stayed in an orphanage for more than a year, and was later adopted by my current foster parents."
She was stunned and said somewhat at a loss: "I'm sorry for bringing up your sad story."
"You don't have to say sorry." The clear voice soothed her, "It's just a chat between friends. The key is to be free and say whatever comes to mind. There is no taboo. When I was a child, I was very sensitive about these things. Now, I have long accepted the facts. In your words, I can be regarded as a person with a story..."
He swallowed back some of the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Seeing her quietly breathe a sigh of relief, Pei Tingchuan felt even worse.
Jiang Wan calmly changed the subject and talked about something more relaxing.
Pei Tingchuan is a person who cannot live without coffee, and when it comes to coffee, the two of them also have a common topic.
The car drove smoothly and pulled into front of a building that looked retro in style.
The car stopped on the avenue, and Pei Tingchuan led the group along the alley. After turning a corner, they arrived at the restaurant.
It is a Chinese courtyard full of traditional elements, with a uniquely designed sign hanging outside.
Jiang Wan looked at the name on the sign and clicked her tongue.
"I saw this restaurant online before, and I heard it's hard to make a reservation."
In addition to being difficult to make an appointment, the important thing is that the price is expensive.
More than 2,000 per person.
It didn't seem expensive to Pei Tingchuan, but with Jiang Wan's current consumption level, it was generally difficult for her to spend so much money on a meal.
Pei Tingchuan nodded slightly: "I know the boss. You can try it today to see if it suits your taste. If you are satisfied, you can bring your friends here anytime in the future."
Jiang Wan just smiled and said nothing.
She followed Pei Tingchuan into the restaurant.
The waiter who greeted them at the door obviously knew him and led the two of them to the private room on the second floor.
Pei Tingchuan gentlemanly let Jiang Wan go first.
The box was on the inside of the corridor on the second floor and the waiter pushed open the door.
The two entered one after the other.
The box is quite spacious, and the overall layout is a combination of neo-Chinese and modern styles. There is an independent tea table by the window, a round table is placed in the center of the box, and the corners are decorated with rockery and flowers. The elegant dining environment makes people feel comfortable.
With Pei Tingchuan's permission, the waiter hung up the bamboo curtain. Outside the window was a pleasant natural scenery, and you could also see the lake not far away.
He moved his chair back a little and made a gesture of invitation to Jiang Wan.
At Pei Tingchuan's signal, the waiter placed the tablet for ordering in front of Jiang Wan.
Every dish is exquisite and the prices are very attractive.
Following the waiter's recommendation, Jiang Wan ordered four signature dishes and then asked Pei Tingchuan to supplement them.
"This is my first time here. Tingchuan, you must be a frequent customer here. In addition to the signature dishes, can you see if there is anything else you would recommend?"
The dishes had not yet been served. A man wearing a floral shirt, a grey suit jacket, with his hair combed neatly, and looking rather unruly, opened the door of the private room.
As soon as he entered the door, he said: "Pei Tingchuan, it's been a long time since I saw you here. I sent you a message because you were busy. I don't know what you are busy with all day. You are not busy following me around..."
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Jifeng noticed the girl sitting on the inside.
It's a rare thing.
Pei Tingchuan brought the girl to his place for dinner alone, and the sun hasn't even risen yet today.
He raised his eyebrows and said with a playful smile, "So you are busy with your lifelong affairs. You should be busy. You are really a person. You didn't tell me that your sister-in-law was coming. If you had told me earlier, I could have prepared a gift for her. Now I haven't prepared anything. Oh, yes, I remember now. There really is something waiting for me. I'll go get it now."
Jiang Jifeng didn't give the two a chance to speak and left in a hurry.
Pei Tingchuan explained to her: "The man just now was my friend and the owner of this restaurant. He usually likes to make jokes. Don't take his words to heart. I apologize for his offense."
Jiang Wan shook her head. "I know he means no harm. It's okay."
After a while, the man came back in a hurry.
Jiang Jifeng was holding a sandalwood box in his hand.
"younger brother……"
Before his sister-in-law could shout out, Pei Tingchuan interrupted him.
"Jifeng, you misunderstood." Pei Tingchuan stood up and introduced Jiang Wan to her, "Let me introduce you, this is my friend, Jiang Wan, and this is Jiang Jifeng."
Jiang Wan nodded slightly at him and said politely, "Hello, I'm Jiang Wan."
"Jiang Jifeng." As he spoke, his eyes kept wandering over the two men.
What kind of friend could make Pei Tingchuan care so much about him?
Looks can't deceive.
From the moment he entered the room until now, Pei Tingchuan's eyes had almost always been on Jiang Wan, and when he spoke to him, she only glanced over at him faintly.
The tone of voice is different.
It's simply different treatment.
He and Pei Tingchuan have known each other for many years, but he has never seen him treat a girl like this.
Jiang Jifeng understood after thinking about it.
I'm afraid that the man has feelings for me but I'm not interested.
He had bad intentions, but the girl didn't have that kind of feelings towards him, so he could only say they were friends.
Jiang Jifeng didn't show it on his face. He smiled heartily and insisted on giving the gift away. "It doesn't matter whether she is my sister-in-law or not. I have opened this shop for two years. You used to come as a guest often, but I have never seen you bring anyone here. Even if they are friends, they must be very important friends.
Your friends are my friends, so I have to give you this gift. It just so happens that you are wearing a cheongsam today, which suits you very well. I hope you don’t mind it.”
Jiang Jifeng opened the box.
There was a jade bracelet inside.
The mutton-fat white jade bracelet looks soft in texture and has plenty of water.
It looks like it's worth a lot of money.
The bracelet was bought by his wife some time ago. She originally intended it as a wedding gift for her sister. However, before the gift was given out, she and her friend suddenly broke up.
Look, the things are left here with him.
Jiang Wan quickly declined, "This bracelet is too valuable. I can't accept it. Jade is given to the destined one. Mr. Jiang, please wait for the real owner of this jade bracelet."
Pei Tingchuan saw her embarrassment and knew that she was sincerely refusing.
To be honest, Jiang Wan and I are just ordinary friends.
It was indeed inappropriate for his friend to give him such an expensive gift rashly.
