”Anything …”
The reason Yu Meng decided to drink with Tang Tianbao at night was for a reason. She knew that Tang Tianbao still harbored Xie Min in his heart, and that Xie Min would never like him. In order to drive Xie Min out of Tang Tianbao's heart. She had a plan in mind and decided to put it into effect tonight.
Tang Tianbao returned home and bought a bottle of white wine and a bag of peanuts. He sat alone in the living room, gloomily drinking wine. As he drank, Tang Tianbao suddenly began to cry. A man's tears wouldn't flow easily, but they had yet to reach the point of sadness. When he thought of how his own love for his career had been completely destroyed, he was like a boat that had lost its direction.
Tang Tianbao threw his mobile phone to the side and drank alone to the point of tears. He was so in love that he was lonely and drunk to the point of being muddle-headed. He finally understood why all the upset people liked to drink, and that was why they stopped getting drunk. It was as if the song said that only alcohol could make them fall asleep.
Tang Tianbao was woken up by Yu Meng's phone call. When he lazily picked up his phone, there were already eleven missed calls.
Tang Tianbao sat up from the floor. His entire body felt stiff and uncomfortable. His head felt dizzy as if it had been filled with some kind of metal, causing him to be unable to raise his head. Outside the window, the sky had already darkened. Dusk was falling in all directions, and lanterns were beginning to light up. Night had fallen again in Tidal City. Before Tang Tianbao could answer the call, the other side hung up. Tang Tian Bao threw his phone onto the tea table. His hands rubbed his temples as he felt extremely uncomfortable all over. He slowly climbed onto the sofa and took out a cigarette. Before he could light it, the phone rang again. It was Yu Meng.
”Little Treasure, what are you doing?” It took me so long to answer the phone? ” Yu Meng anxiously said over the phone.
”I'm sleeping.” Tang Tianbao said dispiritedly.
”Come to Water Source. I've booked a table.” Yu Meng urged on the phone.
”I'm not going anymore. I think I'll have to wait another day. It's not good to drink too much today.” Tang Tianbao lazily said over the phone.
”Little Treasure, you have to come today. There's someone you want to see the most.” Yu Meng said mysteriously.
”I don't want to see anyone right now, I just want to sleep, stop bothering me.” Tang Tianbo said as he put the cigarette back into his mouth. Then, he picked up the lighter and lit up the cigarette.
”Could it be that Xie Min doesn't want to see you as well?” After Yu Meng finished speaking, she hung up the phone. She already had a plan in mind, and she knew that Tang Tianbao would definitely come.
Tang Tianbao thought, is this for real? If it was as Yu Meng had said, Xie Min would come to the party tonight. However, if Yu Meng had come up with an idea to deceive him, then he would be finished. Not only had he revealed his true nature, but he had also satisfied Yu Meng's request. Tang Tianbao inhaled a mouthful of smoke and dialed Yu Meng's number.
”Are you coming or not?” Yu Meng asked.
”You invited Chief Xie as well?” Tang Tianbao didn't directly answer Yu Meng's question, but asked a question in reply.
”Yeah, I originally wanted to give you and her a chance, but it's a pity that you're acting 'Uncle' again. ”It seems like I can't invite you anymore. When Xie Min arrives, I can only tell her that I've invited Tang Tianbao, but he's not coming …” Yu Meng stirred Tang Tianbao.
Tang Tian Bao was still unable to accept Yu Meng's abnormal attitude and asked, ”Don't you hate Xie Min? Why did you treat her to a meal today? ”
”Tang Tian Bao, are you really dumb or are you just pretending? You've already left the company, and the chances of the two of you meeting each other are very small. That's why I gave you two a chance. If you don't want to come, then come. Since I've already invited you over, don't say that I don't have the sense of loyalty if I don't have enough friends. ” Yu Meng looked a little worried over the phone.
”Alright, wait for me for a moment. I'll call a taxi after I finish washing up.”
Tang Tianbao stood up and stretched his body as he felt that his muscles were still sore. However, when he thought of how he was going to meet Xie Min soon, his spirit immediately perked up as he stretched his waist and bones before putting on his slippers and walking towards the bathroom.
After washing up and dressing up, Tang Tianbao took a taxi and ran towards the Water Origin. After arriving at the ”Water Source”, Tang Tianbao couldn't help but rejoice inwardly. As expected, Yu Meng hadn't lied to him; Xie Min and Yu Meng were already sitting there. Tang Tianbao seemed to have arrived somewhat late as he greeted the two of them.
”Little Treasure, come …” ”Over here.” Yu Meng stood up and waved at Tang Tianbao.
”Director Xie, you opened it too? There's a bit of a traffic jam on the way, so I've made you guys wait for a long time. ” As Tang Tianbao spoke, he sat down across from Xie Min.
Tang Tianbao hadn't seen Xie Min for a while. She was still so young and fair, and so beautiful. Xie Min was wearing a light red T-shirt with a V-neck collar and a pair of short, woolen jeans.
The three of them began chatting in the clothing industry, gradually starting to ramble on. None of them mentioned the missing manuscript of ”Snow White” from the company.
When they reached the amnesia area, Yu Meng asked the waiter for a bottle of red wine. The three of them drank their wine and chatted.
Yu Meng changed the subject and asked Xie Min, ”Director Xie, do you have a boyfriend?”
Xie Min did not expect Yu Meng to ask such a question. Her face flushed, not knowing how to answer.
Tang Tianbao's heart was also inexplicably nervous. Regardless of whether Xie Min gave a positive or negative answer, it would still cause ripples in Tang Tianbao's heart.
”Ai, CEO Xie, I'm so envious of you. It's good to be young and have a beautiful body. Moreover, you've become an old boss at such a young age. Your career is also flourishing, and I'm so envious of you …” Yu Meng praised Xie Min endlessly.
