In the private restaurant.
Wu Chengzu noticed the intense, cold, and scrutinizing gaze from the man sitting opposite Bai Yiran. It was definitely not a friendly look... He smiled, eting the gaze with a deep and unreadable look in his own eyes.
"Mr. Wu, what a coincidence!" Bai Yiran didn’t notice the spark of tension between the two n and stood up with a smile to greet Wu Chengzu.
Wu Chengzu turned his head and looked at Bai Yiran humbly and politely. "It seems we really are destined to et."
Destined? Leng Yichen’s eyes darkened slightly, clearly displeased with Wu Chengzu’s comnt.
With the corner of his eyes, Wu Chengzu caught Leng Yichen’s expression, and continued smiling as he spoke to Bai Yiran, "It’s very hard to get a reservation here. I booked a month ahead, and yet I still ran into you. Isn’t that destiny?" He then glanced at a stern-faced Leng Yichen and asked Bai Yiran, "Who is this gentleman?"
Bai Yiran raised her eyebrows. Didn’t Wu Chengzu know who Leng Yichen was? Nevertheless, she introduced, "This is my husband, Leng Yichen." She continued speaking to Leng Yichen, "This is Wu Chengzu; his company is located below President Yao’s company."
"Ah, so it’s Mr. Leng!" Wu Chengzu looked enlightened and extended his hand. "Hello! Nice to et you for the first ti!"
Leng Yichen glanced at Wu Chengzu’s outstretched hand but showed no intention of shaking it and rely said coldly, "This isn’t our first eting, I believe!"
Wu Chengzu paused, then laughed. Indeed, it wasn’t their first eting—the first ti was when he was having street food with Bai Yiran, one in the car, the other at the stall...
The two n exchanged silent glances, and Bai Yiran sensed a hint of awkwardness. At this mont, she also noticed Leng Yichen’s hostility towards Wu Chengzu, though she didn’t understand why Leng Yichen felt this way.
Just then, her phone rang. Bai Yiran glanced at the caller ID, frowned slightly, and said to Wu Chengzu and Leng Yichen, "Excuse , I need to take this call."
With that, Bai Yiran walked out with her phone.
Leng Yichen watched Bai Yiran’s retreating back until she was out of sight before turning his head and ignoring the still-standing Wu Chengzu.
Facing Leng Yichen’s cold treatnt, Wu Chengzu remained composed, wearing a constant smile. "Mr. Leng seems to have so hostility towards ? I don’t recall offending you in any way."
Leng Yichen looked up at Wu Chengzu and asked coldly, "Who exactly are you?"
Wu Chengzu raised his eyebrows slightly, sowhat surprised. "I’m just an ordinary businessman, unable to do anything but look up to soone like you, Mr. Leng."
Listening to Wu Chengzu’s answer, Leng Yichen’s expression beca even colder as he glanced at a nearby table. "Your friend seems to be waiting for you."
Wu Chengzu nodded, understanding it as a hint for him to leave. He showed no sign of embarrassnt and smiled as he nodded slightly to Leng Yichen, then turned to leave.
As she reached the restaurant entrance, Bai Yiran answered the call, "How did it go?"
The voice of a woman on the other end of the line spoke to Bai Yiran. Wang Hai ca in from outside, saw Bai Yiran on the phone at the entrance, and nodded politely to her. Bai Yiran continued listening to the woman while also nodding back to Wang Hai.
As Wang Hai entered the restaurant, Leng Yichen was looking at his phone. "Boss, Li Sha called to tell that your wife contacted her today, asking her to help investigate so matters."
"Oh?" Leng Yichen slightly curled his lips and looked at Wang Hai, "What matters?"
"About your cousin Yu Bin’s girlfriend’s family."
Coincidentally, Li Sha was originally from A City, as was Xiao i’s family!
