Chapter 58 - Dont Call my Name (2/2)
Zhao Zhen thought that she was still angry so he sighed soundlessly behind. When they reached the elevator entrance, the door opened; and the man wearing a white suit was shocked. Immediately, he laughed. “What a coincidence, fella.”
Song Ye raised her head and saw two bodyguards protecting Qu Bai walk out. The man reeked of romance and would not have a lack of affairs no matter where he went. However, at this point, he was more interested in Song Ye.
“Master Qu, we meet again.” Hurriedly, Zhao Zhen went forward and greeted him as he was afraid that the angry Song Ye would pull a long face at him.
Qu Bai lifted his eyebrows and smiled at Zhao Zhen. “Seems like CEO Zhao thinks very highly of your nephew and would bring him around to participate in events. Last night, I heard that this nephew of yours has some credits in making your business a success.”
Zhao Zhen felt a pang in his heart and was scolding Wang Yutang for being so talkative. On the surface, he shook his head and said, “The kid just likes new things. When I come for events, he will yell that he wants to come along so I brought him with me.”
Skillfully, he successfully evaded the topic but did not manage to trick Qu Bai. No matter how they looked at it, Song Ye—with her face of coldness—did not look like someone who would throw a tantrum.
However, Qu Bai also casually lied to him; he did not really find out information about Song Ye. If not, he would not have continued to think that Song Ye was a boy.
“Uncle Zhao, let’s go eat. I’m hungry.” Song Ye spoke from Zhao Zhen’s back and had no intention of interacting with the peacock in front of her. Once she saw Qu Bai, she thought of how Qin Zhan took advantage of her the day before.
However, she did not want to ignore him but could not stop Qu Bai’s interest in her. Zhao Zhen really wanted to bid farewell, but Qu Bai suddenly invited them. “If CEO Zhao doesn’t mind, let’s eat together. Our afternoon’s schedule is the same.”
“This…” Zhao Zhen was in a difficult position and wanted to look at Song Ye instinctively, but when he remembered that they were uncle and nephew, it would arouse suspicion if he asked for Song Ye’s approval. Hence, he nodded. “Then, I need to thank Master Qu.”
Finally, Song Ye sat back in the room at Tian Xin Pavilion and ate the delicacies of this top restaurant. To Song Ye who had a very high expectation of food, the dishes at Tian Xin Pavilion were worth its price.
When they were halfway through their meal, Qu Bai looked over and smiled at Song Ye. “You look like you’re very particular about food. It seems like you frequent such places. Next time, if I go to Cloud City, I’ll have a good guide.”
Song Ye’s fingers stopped for a while before she continued picking at the fish in front of her undisturbed. “I just follow Uncle Zhao around to get food and drinks. If I’m too rude, I’ll embarrass Uncle Zhao.” As the saying goes, ‘birds of the same feather flock together’. None of the friends around Qin Zhan were useless as he could infer something from the way she ate. This made her hard to swallow when she was enjoying good food.
“Hehe, I’m so amused every time I see you.” Qu Bai smiled ambiguously. When he thought of the murderous aura around the youngster near the bar’s entrance, the smile in his eyes deepened.
“Previously, Master Qu helped us solve our problem and later kept on giving Yu Fu Jewelry’s business. I’ve always wanted to find a chance to thank Master Qu. Today, I’ll have a toast with you to express my gratitude.” Zhao Zhen stood up and raised his glass, skillfully blocking Qu Bai’s investigative gaze. The young master of the Qu family was very famous for his flirtatious affairs; although Song Ye was young, she was very pretty. If Qu Bai found out that she was a girl, there would be big trouble.
Qu Bai held up his glass to toast back before talking about the main topic of the meal. “The jades that I bought from Yu Fu Jewelry the previous few times were pretty good. I believe CEO Zhao has an eye for good gems. I was wondering if you had set your eyes on any of the materials in this event. I would like to book it in advance.”
