Chapter 1274: Why 1273?
“Hey, you can’t talk like that,” Feng Jiao said very generously. “Since it’s been so long since you’ve seen your friends, today is a good chance. How about we all go out for a al together? I’ll treat,” she said. “You guys pick the place to eat, find the best restaurant.”
Li Li looked at her and suddenly felt like she couldn’t eat, but to clear up the matter between Jiang Min and herself, she still endured.
“Senior Jiang, co with us,” Li Li said. “You’re going to pay respects at the temple, and we’re going to do the sa, so it’s perfect for us to go together.”
Li Li had put it so openly that it would be a bit impolite for Jiang Min to refuse now.
“Alright, then let’s go together,” Jiang Min said. “After we pay respects at the temple, let treat you guys to a al. Call up Tan Rou and the others; we’ll go eat in the city center.”
Back when they were in school, Jiang Min would often treat her teammates to als, many tis including Li Li and the others. So this ti, Li Li didn’t want Jiang Min to spend more, “Let us treat… no, let Liang Lu treat, her movie box office was high last ti, and she said she’d treat us to a good al.”
Jiang Min chuckled, “Still, I insist…”
Before she could finish, Li Li was already on the phone with Liang Lu. Liang Lu didn’t refuse and even said she would arrange it.
Feng Jiao tugged at the hem of Jiang Min’s clothes from behind, aning to stop her from making an offer. Jiang Min didn’t understand Feng Jiao’s thinking. Wasn’t it Feng Jiao who had offered to treat them to a al just now? Why did her attitude change upon hearing soone else would treat?
“What do you an?” Jiang Min quietly asked. She pretended not to understand Feng Jiao, “Weren’t you the one who wanted to treat us to a al just now? Why are you tugging at my sleeve now?”
Feng Jiao chuckled with a ‘hehe,’ and when she laughed, her eyes narrowed, making her look even uglier, “Since the little sisters want to treat, you shouldn’t refuse.”
Li Li didn’t like this nickna. Even Jiang Min had never called them “little sisters,” usually addressing them by na. The term “little sisters” was quite annoying, especially coming from the mouth of a strange man when he called her that.
In a place we couldn’t see, Li Li rolled her eyes, then she said to Lan Ning, “Ning Ning, stay here and talk to Senior Jiang for a mont. I need to make a phone call over there.”
She gave Lan Ning a aningful look and emphasized in a low voice, “Make sure that ugly ghost doesn’t get away, I’m going to find soone to teach him a lesson.”
Lan Ning felt this wasn’t quite right and grabbed Li Li’s hand, “Li Li, let’s just wait here for Tan Rou and the others to co over.”
Li Li nodded at her, “Don’t worry, I’m not that thoughtless.”
Lan Ning wanted to say “You are thoughtless,” but Li Li was quicker, breaking free from Lan Ning’s grasp and running off to make a phone call.
With Li Li gone, Lan Ning felt awkward on her own, and Jiang Min felt it was inappropriate to bring up leaving, so she started making small talk with Lan Ning.
“Lan Ning, what happened to your leg?” Jiang Min asked.
Lan Ning replied, “I was accidentally injured last ti.”
“Is your leg seriously hurt?” Jiang Min squatted down to look at her leg. “When will it recover?”
Lan Ning wasn’t sure about the recovery ti but said, “Tan Rou has prepared an ointnt for healing bone injuries for . I believe my leg will recover soon.”
Jiang Min was relieved, “Yeah, Tan Rou’s dical skills are extraordinary. Ah Jin’s face was injured before, and it only returned to normal after using the ointnt she made.”
Lan Ning said, “Yes, Tan Rou is really talented. She’s helped a lot, and I’ve always wanted to repay her, but I’ve been no help to her at all, just botherso every day.”
Jiang Min said with a light laugh, “Tan Rou won’t mind those things; she’s helped a lot too. Back in university, without her encouragent and assistance, my experints wouldn’t have been able to continue. And for Lang Yue and the others as well, I promised to create a future with them, but in the end, I failed to do so.”
Lan Ning curiously asked, “Why did you leave the team? You’re skilled in science and technology, why did you give up the career you love to go back ho and take over the family company you dislike?”
A trace of sorrow crossed Jiang Min’s face, “Let’s not talk about that. Let’s think about what we’ll eat later.”
