Delayed confession

"Hello handsome men and beautiful women, how is the food?"

Wang Xing saw the person coming and immediately stood up and bowed.

"Mr. Jin."

Jin Yu looked at the wretched man in front of her, a flash of disdain flashed across her eyes, but when she turned back, she had a smile that only a businessman could have.

"This is the owner of Haiyunlou, Jinyu. He is young and promising, and a famous young talent in Xiqiao City."

Because there were so many of them, they sat at a rectangular table. Xu Weixi and Wang Lingling sat on the narrow side, facing the door.

Just as Xu Weixi was looking at the owner of Haiyunlou, Wang Lingling leaned her head on her shoulder and whispered, "What young talent? He's just an uneducated second-rate guy."

Xu Weixi leaned slightly sideways, "Do you know him?"

Wang Lingling raised her head and rolled her eyes at the man in the Tang suit, then cut the steak in front of her fiercely.

"We were classmates in elementary school, middle school and high school."

Xu Weixi didn't know why, but suddenly felt like teasing her. He raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked down at her with a slight smile at the corners of his eyes.

"Childhood sweetheart?"

Wang Lingling looked at the man approaching, put the steak into her mouth with resentment, and chewed it vigorously.

"What childhood sweethearts? It's just bad fate."

Jin Yu originally wanted to see what kind of woman Gu Mochuan liked, but she unexpectedly ran into her old enemy. She said in a frivolous way,

"Hey, old classmate?"

Seeing that Wang Lingling ignored him, he didn't get angry. He turned around and looked Xu Weixi up and down, "What's the name of this beautiful lady?"

Wang Lingling stepped forward and stopped Xu Weixi behind her, raised her head and said,

"Stay away from my friends."

"Your mother asked me to go to your house tomorrow, saying that you learned a few new dishes."

I wonder what the man said to Wang Lingling? Wang Lingling's face changed immediately.

Although the man's eyes were impudent and his words were somewhat glib, Xu Weixi could clearly feel that he had some... respect for her?

She smiled and replied, "I'm Lingling's colleague, Xu Weixi."

“How’s my food?”

"delicious."

The man bowed, gave Xu Weixi a meaningful look, and went out.

"If I had known that this was his sedan chair, even eight people wouldn't be able to carry me." Wang Lingling sat on the stool, holding her face with one hand, and said gritting her teeth.

"Okay, everyone has left, don't be angry."

When Xu Weixi was listening to Wang Lingling scolding Jinyu for being a bad person, he accidentally looked up at the door and heard Wang Xing's flattering voice.

"Section Chief Xu?"

Xu Xiaojiang glanced around and met Xu Weixi's eyes.

He looked at his men who had all stood up and asked with a smile,

"Why, you are not welcome?"

"We were afraid that you were busy, so we didn't bother you."

Hearing Wang Xing's words, Wang Lingling whispered, "Lawless man."

Xu Xiaojiang saw Wu Yunsheng nodding at him, and smiled and waved his hand, "Okay, I'm here to take my wife home. I just came in and saw you guys, so I said hello. Don't be shy, just continue eating."

Xu Weixi had been feeling uncomfortable since Xu Xiaojiang came in just now, especially the way he looked at her. It was no longer as reserved as when he first came, but became more and more explicit.

She sat on the stool, brows furrowed, thinking about how to replace this person.

"Chief Xu's wife is just like that."

Xu Weixi looked at Wang Lingling, whose eyes were full of gossip, and asked doubtfully,

"What's normal?"

"I thought the wives of big bosses like these were all beautiful as angels." Xu Weixi pursed his lips and motioned her to look at the door.

Only then did Xu Weixi notice that the woman on Xu Xiaojiang's arm should be the wife he had just mentioned.

The woman was about forty years old, dressed very fashionably, and was half a head taller than Xu Xiaojiang, probably because she was wearing high heels. She had a rectangular face, slender eyes, and thick lips. According to traditional aesthetics, she was indeed average, but she had some kind of high-end face that was popular recently.

"I heard she's the editor-in-chief of IE magazine. Do you think she can meet a lot of celebrities?"

Xu Weixi nodded, "Yes."

"Really?"

Xu Weixi had heard from Qiao Yi before that one could see all kinds of stars every day at the magazine, and she also asked if she had any stars she liked and she could take her to meet them. It seemed to be this IE magazine.

"Well, I have a friend who works in the place you mentioned, and she told me."

Wang Lingling's eyes lit up immediately when she heard this, and she shook Xu Weixi's arm.

"Can you help me ask if their magazine is still hiring?"

Xu Weixi knew that she was the kind of person who did whatever she wanted, so she didn't care and deliberately teased,

"Why, even a 30,000 yuan bonus can't keep you?"

Wang Lingling pretended to be embarrassed, holding her chin with both hands and looking at the dishes in front of her.

"But they are all my boyfriends, and money can't measure their worth."

Xu Weixi smiled and prepared to continue to cooperate with her, but Wang Lingling suddenly pulled her hand and asked her to look to the left.

"Hey, your classmate."

Before Xu Weixi could react, she turned her body to look to the left.

"what?"

"That extremely handsome guy...why is he with that jerk Jinyu?"

Xu Weixi looked closely and found that it was Gu Mochuan.

The dim light shone on his profile, as if covered with gold foil. With his slightly open collar, he looked like an unruly young man. He was drinking tea leisurely with the man in Tang suit who had just spoken to him, as if they were discussing business.

This kind of Gu Mochuan was different from the ones she had seen before. Xu Weixi suddenly felt... a little interesting.

"Xiao Xu, let's have a drink."

Xu Weixi heard the voice and just turned around, a huge wine glass appeared in front of her. She quickly said, "I'm sorry, Sister Wu, I..."

Wu Yunsheng pouted and said in a delicate voice, "You don't want to say that you won't drink, do you?"

Xu Weixi had heard of Wu Yunsheng. Although his work ability was average, he was the person you should never offend in the workplace. Otherwise, you would never know who would be trying to make things difficult for you. However, this kind of person was easier to please, as long as you gave him enough face.

She took the glass and said apologetically, "I can drink, but I'm not a good drinker."

When Wu Yunsheng heard this excuse, he immediately showed disdain on his face and deliberately asked, "Bad drinking behavior? How bad is it?"

Xu Weixi glanced at her and said openly, "I heard from my friend that... he would force others to do something."

Wu Yunsheng looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Then drink less, half a cup is okay."

Xu Weixi took the opportunity to put down the wine glass in his hand and poured half of the Tsingtao beer in front of Wang Lingling.

“Is beer okay?”

Wu Yunsheng looked at Xu Weixi's decisiveness and didn't know what to say, so he had to take advantage of the situation and back off.

"Okay, okay, thank you for giving me face."

After having a good meal and a few drinks, the group came to the door.

"Xiao Xu, I'll give you a ride on the way."

"Li Li, do you know where my house is? Is it just on the way?"

Xu Weixi didn't want to have any private connection with people in the company, and this place was a bit remote.

Just when I was in trouble, I saw Gu Mochuan coming out and said quickly,

"I have a friend to pick me up, so I'm leaving now."

Xu Weixi walked to the side of Gu Mochuan's car, hesitated for a moment, stared at the car that had not started, and knocked on the passenger window with gritted teeth.

A few seconds later, Gu Mochuan lowered the window.

Xu Weixi asked softly: "Can you give me a ride? This place is a bit far."

"Get in the car first."
