chapter 17
Ji Xinglan was a little excited at the thought of having lunch with Li Xiaonuan. He took Li Xiaonuan to the private room of the restaurant he frequented most and ordered a lot of meat dishes.
Afraid that Li Xiaonuan would become suspicious, he deliberately ordered a few dishes that Li Xiaonuan would never touch.
Li Xiaonuan did have some doubts when he saw the waiter serving a lot of meat dishes. His expression returned to normal only after dishes such as duck soup and steamed seabass were served.
Luoluo ate generously.
Although Li Xiaonuan doesn't like girls' things, it doesn't mean that she is like a wild boy and has no femininity at all. On the contrary, she is the kind of person who has her own charm in every move and every move, and she can make people feel relaxed and happy even when they are eating.
At least as long as Ji Xinglan could remember, Li Xiaonuan was the only woman who completely fell in love with his aesthetics. From the first time they met, Li Xiaonuan could not forget her.
"Are you going to Li Caiyun's invitation?" He was afraid that if he was too engrossed in watching, Li Xiaonuan would notice the secret, so he decided to find some topic to talk about.
Li Xiaonuan only focused on eating and had no free hands to type for Ji Xinglan, so he simply nodded.
"Don't you hate Li Caiyun very much?" Ji Xinglan was surprised. He just asked casually. After all, based on his understanding of Li Xiaonuan, he would never talk to Li Caiyun.
Li Xiaonuan nodded again in response.
Ji Xinglan's eyes flashed with a hint of helplessness and doting. The only cute thing about a woman like Li Xiaonuan is probably that she loves to eat. She can't move her hands to talk every time she eats.
Ji Xinglan simply stopped asking and concentrated on eating, his chopsticks quietly following Li Xiaonuan's steps in picking up vegetables.
Li Xiaonuan ate until he was eighty cents full before putting down his chopsticks. Ji Xinglan also put down his chopsticks at the same time. An Taoist had eaten quite a bit, and he was full even for a grown man, but Li Xiaonuan seemed to be still unsatisfied.
"Li Caiyun has made it clear that he wants to plot against you, why should he go?" The old matter was brought up again.
It is true that Li Xiaonuan hates Li Caiyun, but he will not lower his status to deal with Li Caiyun. Li Xiaonuan has a temperament that likes to dominate everything.
Li Xiaonuan raised his eyebrows, wondering why Ji Xinglan was suddenly so interested in her affairs.
"She plots hers, and I plot mine. Is there any problem?" When she turned eighteen, Li Caiyun gave her an unforgettable birthday gift, and she naturally wanted to return the favor at her old place.
"Just asking, go back, the printer should be repaired." Ji Xinglan also realized that he had asked too many questions, so he could only change the topic.
Li Xiaonuan's mouth twitched, secretly cursing that Ji Xinglan was indeed the originator of shamelessness.
The two of them walked out side by side. Who knew they met an acquaintance as soon as they went out?
"Mr. Ji, it's such a coincidence that you're here for dinner, can you show me a favor?" Zhang Mingliang blocked Ji Xinglan's path with a flattering look on his face.
Li Xiaonuan took a step back calmly. Zhang Mingliang didn't look like he had met by chance. He was clearly waiting for Ji Xinglan here on purpose.
"Okay." Ji Xinglan agreed on his face, but his eyes were filled with haze.
He dislikes this kind of fake way of blocking people the most. If it weren't for cooperating with Li Xiaonuan, even if the Ji family really wanted to cooperate with the Zhang family, he would have passed them directly because of their behavior.
Li Xiaonuan was a little surprised when she heard Ji Xinglan agreed. She thought Ji Xinglan would just leave with a cold face. She was even more surprised that Zhang Mingliang would block Ji Xinglan in such a blind manner.
Everyone in the circle knows more or less about Ji Xinglan's temperament. Although the rumors cannot be believed, some of them are not groundless. Even if you have no brains, you should ask about Ji Xinglan's preferences, right?
A few years ago, someone tried to unilaterally investigate Ji Xinglan's itinerary and asked for cooperation. As a result, Ji Xinglan was unhappy and refused to cooperate, and even directly acquired the other company.
Because the other party was a second-tier company, it was considered prestigious. So it made a big fuss in the news at that time.
Later, Ji Xinglan even spoke out, saying that the company was acquired simply because it didn't look pleasing to the eye, and it was sold at a low price within a few days of the acquisition. From then on, who would dare to block Ji Xinglan?
Zhang Mingliang doesn't seem to be such a brainless person.
Zhang Mingliang didn't know that he had stepped on a thunderbolt, so he directly led Ji Xinglan to another private room.
There was another person sitting in the private room, whom Li Xiaonuan knew. He was Zhang Cheng, the son of Zhang Mingliang, the male protagonist she deliberately added to Li Caiyun's video.
When Zhang Cheng saw that his father had actually invited Ji Xinglan, he immediately went to say hello. However, he was very self-aware and did not dare to shake hands with Ji Xinglan. He just gave a unilateral salute.
As a result, before he could introduce himself, the people around Ji Xinglan were looking away, and he stood there blankly.
Ji Xinglan was originally in a bad mood, but as a result, there were still people who dared to stare at Li Xiaonuan without opening their eyes, and the evil aura all over his body suddenly had nowhere to rest.
"Who is this?" Ji Xinglan said in a gloomy tone.
Zhang Mingliang boldly went to invite Ji Xinglan. He was already very timid, but when he saw Ji Xinglan's ugly face, he was so frightened that cold sweat began to break out on his forehead.
"This is the dog Zhang Cheng, why don't you say hello to Master Ji quickly?" Zhang Mingliang reminded his son, but the latter didn't respond at all and still looked at Li Xiaonuan blankly.
"Oh, Mr. Zhang's son seems to be more interested in the female companion next to me." Ji Xinglan's tone was cold and his smile was creepy.
Zhang Mingliang had no idea what was wrong with his son, so he quickly walked over and kicked Zhang Cheng in the leg, waking him up.
"Li - you are Li Xiaonuan!" As a result, the person was kicked awake, but he shouted out Li Xiaonuan's name in a desperate attempt to die.
He could hear the evil energy coming out of Ji Xinglan's body.
"Oh, very good. I'm afraid I can't eat this meal with Mr. Zhang."
After saying that, he directly pulled Li Xiaonuan to his side, put his arm around Li Xiaonuan's shoulders and strode away.
Zhang Mingliang was so frightened that he didn't even have the courage to go up and try to save him. The most evil man in the deep city really lived up to his reputation, and his aura was as terrifying as Shura from hell. It's over, he offended the Ji family today, and the cooperation will definitely be ruined, right?
"You bastard, why did you go crazy just now? The Zhang family will be destroyed in your hands." Zhang Mingliang was so angry that he slapped Zhang Cheng hard.
After being beaten, Zhang Cheng finally realized what stupid thing he had done, but he was even more shocked by the person he had just met.
"Dad, that was Li Xiaonuan just now." Zhang Cheng couldn't believe his eyes until now.
"I don't care if she is cold or warm. Now that we have offended Mr. Ji, in this circle from now on - wait, who do you think that is?" Zhang Mingliang asked after realizing it.
"Li Xiaonuan, Li Xiaonuan, the daughter of Liming Han."
"Impossible, isn't Li Xiaonuan dead long ago?" Zhang Mingliang's face was filled with shock.
"I'm absolutely not mistaken, it must be Li Xiaonuan." Li Xiaonuan is the most unique and beautiful woman he has ever seen in his life. With such a unique temperament, there is absolutely no way he can admit his mistake.
"Impossible. If what you said is true, why did Li Xiaonuan get involved with Ji Xinglan? Is the relationship between the Ji family and the Li family really unusual? It's just that the person is not Li Caiyun, but Li Xiaonuan?"
