Chapter 13
I'm Seriously Not a Male Prost.i.tute
The restaurant was not far from the place of the conflict. Pang Jing Dong initially wanted to switch to a different restaurant, but he did know how to say it as he did not want to ruin the mood. Her gorgeous appearance with her elegant gestures, caused Pang Jing Dong to be obsessed with her.
”The right saddle on the right horse!” Pang Jing Dong said with a smile.
”You should find a better phrase if you want to flatter me!” said Shen Jia Yao with a grin. ”The brand is Parad.”
TL Note: Parad = Prada? Maybe?
Regarding the clothing of luxury brands, it was no longer a person choosing the suitable clothes, but the clothes choosing the appropriate person. For example, for the dress Shen Jia Yao was wearing, most of the people either did not have the physique to wear it, or they were unable to present the elegance of the dress fully. However, Shen Jia Yao wearing the dress could perfectly deliver the lifestyle philosophy as intended from Parad's design concepts.
”I believe there is no need to flatter one another with our relations.h.i.+p.” After pausing for a while, Pang Jing Dong continued, ”I have to admit, you weren't so beautiful when you were young.”
”How did I look like when I was young according to your memory?”
”A short hair, face full of freckles, and always followed me behind with a hanging mucus from your nose.”
”Haha!” Upon saying this, both of them burst out laughing.
”I didn’t know I used to look like that!” said Shen Jia Yao.
”Ten years' time can change a person completely.”
”You got that right!”
”In comparison though, I prefer your old self!”
Shen Jia Yao was stunned hearing it, who then gave Pang Jing Dong a puzzled look and did not continue the conversation.
”Let's order some dishes!” Pang Jing Dong handed the menu to Shen Jia Yao.
Shen Jia Yao ordered a few dishes, before saying in a flat tone, ”Grandparents'…”
”Still overseas.” Pang Jing Dong remained silence for a brief while, before saying, ”I hope I could find a suitable timing to get them back. If they could not fulfill their dreams overseas, they deserve to return to their roots.”
Upon saying this, Shen Jia Yao had a recollection of her past; on the night she was abandoned, she kept on crying asking her G.o.dparents to stay while claiming going overseas was a bad idea. During that moment, Pang Jing Dong's father replied with a low spirit, ”Is there anywhere that would not bury people?”
TL Note: The phrase ”Is there anywhere that would not bury people?” is a Chinese saying, meaning that people could end up dying somewhere, whether it be in their own countries or a foreign country.
”Is my granddad fine?” asked Pang Jing Dong.
”He went on a business trip to the USA a few days ago, might need a long time before coming back. I'm just concerned about his body coping with the fatigue.”
”He extended his business overseas?!”
”Yeah!” Shen Jia Yao shoved a proud expression at Pang Jing Dong as if she was trying to say, ”Your parents failed to achieve that, didn't they?!”
”It's impossible to earn enough money, tell him to rest more!” said Pang Jing Dong calmly, pretending he did not notice it.
”I haven't mentioned your return to him” Upon saying this, Shen Jia Yao was carefully observing Pang Jing Dong's reaction.
”Oh!” answered Pang Jing Dong, still having a calm expression on his face.
”I hope you would tell him yourself!” Shen Jia Yao added.
”I do hope I have the chance to!” said Pang jIng Dong who shook his head while smiling. ”I never thought there would be such a coincidence in my life!”
”I didn't think so too, to think that you are my company's employee. I a.s.sumed we would never meet again!”
”What I didn't expect was, our status and positions had changed thoroughly.”
Shen Jia Yao puckered her lips, before saying, ”What did my G.o.dparents do overseas?”
Pang Jing Dong knew that Shen Jia Yao a.s.sumed his parents had enjoyed a few years of luxurious life before ending up in the unfortunate accident. The truth was, it happened a month after they arrived in the foreign land.
The place was not a heaven. Regarding this fact, his parents were wrong initially, so was Shen Jia Yao today. Only Pang Jing Dong who had experienced h.e.l.l there knew what it was like. A sorrowful feeling rose up in his heart.
Pang Jing Dong did not want to explain too much, so he answered, ”Doing some small businesses!”
Shen Jia Yao shook her head and changed the topic, ”I invited you for a meal because I have something to discuss.”
”Go ahead!”
”It's about the managing team of the company!”
