Chapter 156 Asking for Something
Of course, I didn't succeed in my lustful thoughts that night. First, Jingjing hadn't had a good rest since she got on the plane from the United States, and I couldn't bear to let her overwork herself. Second, I had to meet Jingjing's family at their home tomorrow afternoon, so I had to go to bed early to get enough rest.
But I still spent a long time with Jingjing. I held her in my arms and kissed her non-stop.
Jingjing said with a smile that the kisses we had today were probably much more than the total kisses we had had before. She also finally realized that I had not smoked for a long time, and there was no smell of cigarettes on my body or in my mouth. She felt very strange and asked me why I didn't smoke anymore.
I had to vaguely say that I was injured and had been in the hospital for more than two months. The doctor told me not to smoke, so I quit smoking. Unexpectedly, Jingjing was not happy said that although smoking is not good, she was not used to it and felt weird when I suddenly stopped smoking. She also asked me not to quit too completely, but to smoke one or two occasionally so that she could feel the old me.
I was sweating! How could she know that people who have quit smoking either never smoke again, but once they start smoking again, it is not just a simple habit, and their addiction to smoking will only be stronger than before they quit.
Of course, I didn't quit smoking willingly at the beginning, and it's okay for me to smoke again. But I'm a person with nothing else to do. I must do what I said and what I promised to others. Since I promised Xu Shu, I will never smoke a puff of cigarette again in my life!
Fortunately, Jingjing was just talking and didn't force me to smoke. Seeing that it was already late, she gave me some detailed instructions on what to pay attention to when I went to her house tomorrow, and finally said goodbye to me, got out of the car and drove her own Ferrari back. I watched her car go away, and I still felt like I was in a dream, not in reality. But I still couldn't help my excitement, and I was eager to share the joy in my heart with others.
If I had to name the only close friend in this world, it would probably be Xu Shu. Without thinking too much or hesitating, I went home and got on the bed, and directly called Xu Shu's cell phone: "Hello, Xu Shu, are you asleep?"
"…Even if I was asleep, you woke me up. Where's Jingjing?"
"Haha! She's back! Xu Shu! Things between Jingjing and I have taken a big turn, did you know? I'm so happy!"
"Humph! Of course you are happy. How many times have I lied to Jingjing for you? Every time you do something bad, I have to clean it up for you... Humph!"
I remembered that Xu Shu had covered up for me on the phone just now, and I said gratefully and sincerely, "I was just about to say thank you, Xu Shu, you really have nothing to say to me, and I know it in my heart!"
"What's the point of you understanding? And you...if you really want to thank me, then tell me the truth. Was the bite mark on your mouth done by the owner of the scarf?"
I thought about it carefully and said, "No, I didn't have any injuries on my mouth before she left."
"Who bit it?"
"To be honest, I don't know myself!"
"Humph! You're not going to lie to me too, are you? I've tried so hard to cover up your lie!"
"How could it be! I would never lie to you! I really don't know. Later, I got drunk and couldn't even remember how I got home. When I woke up the next day, I found a wound on my mouth. This is really strange. Is someone deliberately playing a prank on me?"
"Impossible! Who would bite someone on the mouth as a prank? If it's a woman, then that person must like you. If it's a man... Ouch! I have goose bumps all over my body!"
I also felt a chill and said hurriedly, "Alright, stop talking about this. We'll understand it sooner or later. I called you because I wanted to share my joy with you and I wanted to ask you something. Jingjing asked me to have dinner at her house tomorrow night. What should I buy?"
"Oh? Are you going tomorrow too?"
"Yes ! Oh, by the way, Jingjing seems to have invited you too!"
"Well, in my opinion, Jingjing's family is rich enough to rival a country. What doesn't they have at home? No matter how good the things you buy are, they won't look at them. You might as well go empty-handed. But I'm still wondering, why did Hua Qiming suddenly change? This is too unbelievable. Could this be some trick of his?"
I laughed and said, "He had no choice but to change. It's so funny. Let me tell you, this is what happened. Jingjing had a... "
I recounted in detail the reason why Jingjing was able to come back. Xu Shu was also very moved after listening to it, and said, "It turns out that Jingjing's grandmother is back. No wonder Hua Qiming has changed so much. Although you have experienced hardships, you have finally overcome all the hardships and have a happy ending!"
I laughed and said, "This happened so suddenly that I wasn't prepared at all. In fact, I still feel like I'm dreaming and it doesn't feel real at all."
"Well... I understand. This is how people who are blessed are."
I laughed, but I could vaguely sense that Xu Shu was not happy at all. I knew why, but...
We chatted for a few more sentences, and then we hung up. I put down the phone, feeling a little disappointed. In my mind, Xu Shu has always been a perfect goddess. My admiration for her has never stopped. It's just... Xu Shu! You could have... Alas! What was your intention at the time? It's really hard to understand!
My sadness was soon dispelled by the great joy of Jingjing's return. I wanted to go to bed early, but I was so excited that I couldn't fall asleep...
The next day after work, I finished my work and wanted to get a haircut early to dress up to meet Jingjing's grandmother. I told Zhang Lanlan a few words and was about to leave work early, when I suddenly saw Fan Yunting coming back excitedly with a bag. As soon as she saw me, she said happily, "Good news, Tang Qian, the Green Lady Company has just withdrawn the lawsuit, they won't sue anymore!"
I was stunned for a moment, then I understood immediately. This was probably an order from Jingjing's grandmother, and Hua Qiming dared not disobey, so he had no choice but to do it. He said, "Withdraw the lawsuit? That's great! It's clear that they will lose this lawsuit, and now they have withdrawn the lawsuit, which means they know what they are doing!"
Fan Yunting said, "That's not necessarily true. The lawyer hired by Green Lady Company is Song Jie, who is famous all over the country. He is a very powerful person. The lawyers we hired said that it is difficult to deal with him and they may not have much confidence. Now that they have withdrawn the lawsuit, I feel relieved. It's really great. I can concentrate on my work."
I nodded and said, "It's good that you're back. I have something to do and I have to leave first. You can look after the company." Then I turned around and was about to leave.
"What are you doing? Don't leave. I need to talk to you about something! Come with me to the general manager's office!"
I smiled bitterly and said, "I really have something to do today, let's do the rest another day!"
"No! My business is more urgent and important, you come with me now!" She said without giving me any time to talk, and went into her own office first. I looked at my watch and saw that I had plenty of time, so I had no choice but to follow her in and listen to her instructions.
When Fan Yunting saw me coming in, she turned around and closed the door. Then she took out two new clothes from her bag with a smile and said, "Here, these are the clothes I just bought for you. Try them on to see if they fit you."
I... I do! Is this what Fan Yunting called an urgent and important matter?
I said to her helplessly, "Boss Fan! Didn't you buy me a few pieces a few days ago? Why are you buying me again today? I...I don't need so many!"
Fan Yunting smiled and said, "The other day, that was a benefit given to you by the company. Today is different. I bought them with my own money. These two pieces of clothing are very expensive. They cost me more than 3,000 yuan!"
I was startled and said, "Why did you suddenly buy such a good thing for me?" As I thought about it, a bad premonition came to my mind.
Sure enough, Fan Yunting tilted her head, looked at me and smiled, "Of course, I have something to ask of you. I'm going to buy you something to bribe you so that you can't refuse."
I said curiously, "Boss Fan, you are my leader, just tell me if you have anything to say. Why are you so polite? You...you make me...scared."
Seeing me like this, Fan Yunting sneered and said angrily, "Look at you, you are so scared when I ask you for a favor? Well, try the clothes on first. If they don't fit, I'll have to exchange them!"
I said sternly, "Mr. Fan, if you have something to say, just tell me. Why would I ask you to buy something with your own money? You should just return it. I won't take it."
Fan Yunting was anxious and said, "I've already bought it, how can I return it? I don't care, you must have it, otherwise I bought it for nothing."
I was also very stubborn and said, "You bought it with your own money, so I don't want it. Mr. Fan, you have been very good to me. Last month you gave me a special contribution award of 300,000 yuan, and you often bought me a lot of things in the name of the company. I am already very satisfied and I don't lack anything. Mr. Fan, if you have anything to ask, just ask. As long as I, Tang Qian, can do it within my ability, I will definitely help you. I still understand the saying of repaying kindness."
Fan Yunting asked happily: "Really?"
I nodded solemnly, but I was actually nervous. Because Fan Yunting usually didn't ask me for anything, and if she did, she would discuss it with me in a businesslike tone. But today, she was unusual and first bought me something to bribe me, and then used the word "beg" to ask me. It was obvious that what she was asking for must be very difficult. I didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse for me to agree so rashly.
When Fan Yunting saw me nod, she was immediately delighted and said, "Tang Qian, you are so kind. This is actually not that difficult. It's just... it's just..."
I was really afraid of the word "just". I swallowed my saliva and said with difficulty: "Just...what?"
Fan Yunting's face was a little hot, and her eyes suddenly became unusually charming. She looked at me shyly, and after hesitating for a long time, she said, "I... just feel a little embarrassed."
