C67 A Man's Song
Mother Qi came out of the kitchen and brought out the warm carrot cake. Qiao Lu De did not continue the topic. He picked up his chopsticks and started to eat. He stuffed a big piece of the carrot cake into his mouth and gave Mother Qi a thumbs up as he ate." Auntie's cooking skills are so good. It tastes so good!"
"If it's delicious, then eat more. There are more in the kitchen." After being praised, Mother Qi's face was filled with joy.
The few of them were talking and laughing when a guest suddenly arrived. When Xiao Shan saw the person who came, she exclaimed and used her arm to touch Qi Jia. She whispered, "Sister Jia Jia, isn't this table number 7? He's here again." After she finished speaking, she went to welcome the guest with a smile on her face.
Qi Jia took a look and found that it was true. Lu Jingyan was walking in front, followed by Dan Cheng Hao, and the two of them sat down at a table. Qiao Lu took a bite of his cake and saw the two of them. He forgot to chew on the food in his mouth, and asked Qi Jia in a daze: "Why are the two of them here?"
Qi Jia shrugged her shoulders, "Who knows? Maybe they are tired of eating abalone and lobster and want to change their taste. "
Qiao Lu De looked at Dan Cheng Hao thoughtfully. Dan Cheng Hao looked around and his eyes met with Qiao Lu De's. They looked at each other for a moment and then moved away without any hesitation.
Qiao Lu De frowned unconsciously. At first, he was wondering if he should smile or say something to him. However, seeing him like this, she knew that there was no need for that.
Xiao Shan took the order sheet to the kitchen. Qi Jia stood up, walked over and sat opposite of the two of them, and said to Dan Cheng Hao with a smile, "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, Director Dan."
Dan Cheng Hao said: "Your family's small shop is not bad. After Jing Yan came here once, he couldn't forget about it. He urged me to try it too."
Qi Jia looked at Lu Jing Yan and thought to herself, To let Dan Cheng Hao come over, he must have other intentions.
With a smile on her face, she said to Lu Jingyan, "Thank you, Young Master Lu, for your support."
When Qi Jia came out of the kitchen, she just happened to see her precious daughter smiling obsequiously at the guests. She walked over and placed the plate on the table, then said reproachfully, "What are you doing sitting here? Don't disturb the guest's meal. Go, go over there and accompany him."
Qi Jia knew that her mother had misunderstood, so she quickly smiled and said: "Mom, this is the CEO of our company."
Qi Jia looked at Dan Cheng Hao and exclaimed: "So it's our Jia Jia Jia's boss. No wonder he looks so energetic. "
It was as if Mother Qi had become a completely different person. The words she spoke carried a soft accent.
"Boss, how is our Jia Jia doing in the company? If she doesn't do well, you can criticize her with all your might. It's fine. This child has been thick-skinned since she was young. She isn't afraid to say anything."
Qiao Lu De heard it clearly from the other side and could not help but burst into laughter. Qi Jia was also embarrassed here. She pushed her mother and walked towards the back of the kitchen, "Don't talk nonsense here. I am clearly a thin-skinned person, okay?"
Mother Qi still wanted to say something, but seeing that Dan Cheng Hao was indifferent, she stopped and did not continue. When she was passing by Lu Jing Yan's side, she was suddenly stopped by him.
"Auntie, is Jia Jia her nickname?" Lu Jingyan asked in confusion.
When Qi Jia heard this, she screamed in her heart that something bad was about to happen, and she wanted to go up and stop Mother Qi from talking, but she was helpless. Mother Qi's mouth was very fast, and the words had already come out of her mouth.
"She doesn't have any nickname. Her name is Qi Jia. Sometimes we call her Jia Jia." Mrs. Qi smiled as she finished speaking to Lu Jing Yan and returned to the kitchen.
Qi Jia's heart was miserable. Mom, after saying that, you slapped your butt and left. You left me here alone to deal with the storm that is about to arrive.
Lu Jingyan looked at Qi Jia and coldly snorted: "Sure, you even know how to give yourself a stage name? Ni Yang, it does sound good. "
On the other side, Xiao Shan and Qiao Lu burst out laughing again.
Lu Jingyan looked over and asked Qiao Lu De snappily, "You're from the Second Brother's family, and you are so happy after eating a carrot cake. Does our Second Brother treat you badly?"
Qiao Lu De curled his lips, "Don't call me Second Brother's family. I am from Old Qiao's family. If you don't call me by my name in the future, don't tell me that I don't know you."
Dan Cheng Hao narrowed his eyes slightly and secretly glanced over in that direction, but he did not say anything.
Xiao Shan nibbled on the melon seeds as she whispered to Qiao Lu De, "Sister Lu, who is this person? Is there anything wrong with his intelligence?"
Qiao Lu also pursed his lips and chuckled, "What do you think?"
Qi Jia sat over and said with a pulled face: "Alright, quickly put away your evil smiles."
Lu Jingyan felt that something was amiss, and carefully thought about what he had just said, and smashed it twice. Suddenly, his face darkened, and he shouted at Qi Jia: "Alright, you dare to take advantage of me!"
Ni Yang, Ni Yang, if you read it quickly, wouldn't it become your mother? Back then, when he asked her what her name was, she said that he was stupid enough to believe it!
Qi Jia innocently looked at him and said, "There's nothing I can do. I also didn't know that your IQ was not on the line at that time and you didn't react."
Lu Jing Yan was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said, "Just laugh. There will be a day when you cry!"
Dan Cheng Hao and Lu Jingyan ordered a few dishes, but they didn't eat much. They just paid the bill and left. Mother Qi said that the bill would be free no matter what, but how could these two men have the nerve to throw away two hundred yuan?
Qiao Lu De sat there and watched the two of them as they were about to leave. His feet unconsciously moved under the table. Dan Cheng Hao turned his head around and looked at her as if he did not care. He then pushed open the door and went out first.
Lu Jing Yan turned his head and said to Qiao Lu De, "Someone from the second family. If you have nothing to do, come with us to the Silver Supreme to play. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and everyone is having a good time together for a reunion."
Qiao Lu De bit his lips and lowered his head. He did not know if he was just being polite to him, or if it was a real invitation. If it was the former, looking at his cold attitude towards her, he was clearly still angry about what happened that day. She was really afraid that he would hate her going there.
Lu Jingyan gave Qi Jia a meaningful glance and left the shop. Qi Jia was not a fool, so she naturally could guess that this was what Dan Cheng Hao meant. Thus, she walked over and pulled Qiao Lu's arm, and said to her, "What are you thinking about? Since he had already said that, he had to give him some face. Come, I'll go with you."
"Aren't you afraid that Lu Jingyan will do something to you if you come with me?" Qiao Lu De asked.
Qi Jia said with bitterness in her heart. But since she had already joined Dan Cheng Hao, she had to do what she had to do.
She snorted, "There's still a day to rest when we catch him. Besides, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so he can't do anything."
Dan Cheng Hao and Lu Jingyan had already sat in the car and were waiting for the person to come out. When he saw Qi Jia holding Qiao Lu De's arm and coming out, Dan Cheng Hao felt as if he had let out a deep breath, and the nervousness had also disappeared.
Lu Jingyan looked at him with disdain, "Second Brother, can we be a bit more promising?"
"I think I'm quite promising. At least, I don't care about other woman's mother." Dan Cheng Hao said venomously.
"I haven't even said anything to you. You clearly know that she is lying to me, but you're still not saying anything. Instead, you're with them."
"I also want to see when you will realize it and test your intelligence. It's just that you disappoint me."
With that, Qi Jia opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat first. Qiao Lu looked around, helplessly opened the back door and got in.
The two of them were separated by a huge distance, and neither of them looked at the other. They kept the same pace and looked out the window.
Lu Jingyan looked at the two of them in the rearview mirror and deliberately coughed to persuade them: "It's fine if the two of them quarrel with each other. Do you really want to ignore each other for the rest of your life?"
Qiao Lu rolled his eyes at Lu Jingyan in front of him, "Young Master Lu, please don't talk about things that you don't know. I am single right now!"
"Look, our second brother is jealous of you. You are going too far with him." Lu Jingyan felt wronged on behalf of his good brother.
"Jingyan, drive properly!" Dan Chenghao said in a low voice, but no one could tell whether he was happy or angry.
Lu Jingyan laughed self-deprecatingly, "Okay, count me in."
After that, no one else spoke in the car. They drove to the entrance of the Silver Supreme in silence.
Dan Cheng Hao got out of the car first and walked inside. Seeing his expression, Qiao Lu De really wanted to take a taxi and go back. Qi Jia held her arm and walked in. Qiao Lu De was unhappy and asked, "What did he mean? If he doesn't want me to come, then just say it. Who is he showing his bad face?"
"It's over if you don't look at him. Alright, in a while, big sister will bring you to the Silver Supreme Platform to admire the moon." Qi Jia coaxed her and followed.
The waiter brought him into a KTV private room. When the people who were playing inside saw Dan Cheng Hao enter, they all greeted him, and when they saw Qiao Lu who had followed them in, they all laughed and called out:" Oh, Second Sister-in-law is here too? Come, come, Second Sister-in-law will sing a song first."
Dan Cheng Hao sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and picked up a glass of wine. Qiao Lu De sat on the other side and nodded slightly when someone poured her a glass of wine. Lu Jing Yan sat down at the stage and asked Qiao Lu De with the microphone, "What song do you want to sing? I'll order one for you."
"I'm not singing anymore." Qiao Lu De waved his hand. "You guys can sing."
Qi Jia said from the side:" Hey, since you're here, just sing. It's not like you don't know how to sing." Then, she shouted at Lu Jing Yan, "Young Master Lu, choose a good song that your second brother is good at because of love."
"Okay!" Lu Jingyan pointed his finger, and the music sounded.
A love song between a man and a woman, if there was a woman, there would be a man. Qiao Lu did not refuse anymore. He took the microphone and stood in front of them. However, a certain man who everyone knew about was still sitting on the sofa like an old man and drinking wine. Lu Jingyan coughed twice to remind him, but it did not work.
Qiao Lu De felt wronged in his heart, but he still forced a smile on his face. The prelude was very short. She knew that he wouldn't sing with her, so she just started singing, regardless of whether he was a man or a woman.
"I'm still in love with you..."
Before Qiao Lu De could put down the microphone, his arm suddenly tightened and he was rudely pulled out of the room.
