Chapter 348 Who Gets Nervous First

Whether it’s a man or a woman, who hasn’t loved a scumbag in their lifetime?

Perhaps using this term to describe Wang Qi is a bit too harsh, but from Su Rui’s perspective, he had absolutely no good feelings toward her.

Zhou Xianwei looked at the hand wrapped around Wang Qi’s waist, his gaze tightening again as he shook his head with a bitter smile: “No need, I think things are pretty good as they are now. As for the position of security team captain, I’m not very interested.”

“Not interested?” Chang Jun’s smile gradually turned cold as he stared at Zhou Xianwei and said: “Brother, I never expected that the olive branch I extended would be rejected by you. Do you know how many people are fighting to get into my company but can’t!”

Zhou Xianwei shook his head. The other party’s condescending tone naturally caused a trace of displeasure in his heart.

“Zhou Xianwei, don’t be upset. Chang Jun is just like that, straightforward and blunt, but he’s warm-hearted.” Seeing Zhou Xianwei frown, Wang Qi explained on behalf of her boyfriend.

Hearing the somewhat stiff and unfamiliar way she addressed him as “Zhou Xianwei,” Zhou Xianwei’s brows furrowed slightly again. He looked at Wang Qi and said: “How… have you been?”

Hearing this question, the smile on Wang Qi’s face grew slightly more pronounced: “I’ve been doing well, better than when I was with you.”

Although the woman was telling the truth, to Zhou Xianwei’s ears, it sounded extremely grating.

“Well then, you two enjoy yourselves. I’ll be going now.” Zhou Xianwei clearly had no interest in blessing his ex-girlfriend and turned to leave.

Su Rui was about to stop him when he heard Chang Jun shout: “Wait!”

Zhou Xianwei stopped: “Is there something else?”

Chang Jun smiled: “Meeting is fate. Let’s have dinner together tonight? Catch up and chat.”

“I have plans tonight.”

“Brother Zhou, are you still unable to let go of Wang Qi?” A cold smile appeared on Chang Jun’s face.

This question was so direct that even the woman beside him felt embarrassed.

Zhou Xianwei turned his face, his gaze carrying a cold gleam.

“If you can’t let go of Wang Qi, why act this way? If you’ve already let go and treat her as an ordinary friend, there’s even less reason to turn down tonight’s dinner.” Chang Jun said with a chuckle: “Let’s just be friends. The more friends you have, the easier the road ahead.”

At this point, Chang Jun sneered inwardly: “As long as you come to dinner with me, I won’t let you off easy tonight. Acting all high and mighty in front of me, you’d better have the capital for that!”

At this moment, Zhang Ziwei turned around and said with a smile: “Sir, the three of us are all Xianwei’s friends. Could we join your dinner tonight as well?”

When Chang Jun saw Zhang Ziwei in her white dress with her extraordinary temperament, he completely lost his composure, his lips trembling as he looked very excited.

Although Wang Qi beside him was also beautiful, her overall bearing couldn’t compare with Zhang Ziwei at all. Chang Jun suddenly felt his heart beating very fast.

Damn, this beauty had been sitting in the private room all along, how had he not noticed her before?

Watching Chang Jun’s lecherous expression, Li Yang, wearing sunglasses, couldn’t help but sneer twice.

“Sir, what do you think?” Zhang Ziwei, well-versed in social graces, smiled again: “You’re not afraid we’ll eat too much and you won’t be able to pay, are you?”

“Sure, of course! This small amount of money is nothing to me, haha.” Chang Jun stared at Zhang Ziwei and laughed heartily. A beauty had voluntarily come to his door; if he let her slip away, he’d be too incompetent. If he could spend a night with such a top-quality beauty, it would definitely be an unforgettable experience!

Looking at Zhang Ziwei, then glancing at Wang Qi beside him, Chang Jun couldn’t help but feel that his girlfriend paled in comparison to this woman!

Zhang Ziwei smiled charmingly and nodded: “Then we’ll have to take advantage of Mr. Chang’s generosity.”

After speaking, she turned her head slightly and glanced at Su Rui. Seeing him nod, she let out a soft breath of relief.

This time, without Su Rui saying anything, she had taken the initiative to speak up and solved the problem for him. This showed she had understood Su Rui’s purpose and gauged it very accurately.

Although Li Yang also understood Su Rui’s intention, he was after all a man, and in this regard his advantage was inherently inferior to a woman’s, especially a beautiful woman.

Zhou Xianwei was still hesitating when Su Rui patted his shoulder and said: “Things have come to this point. It wouldn’t be appropriate for you not to go. Let’s go together and make friends with Mr. Chang.”

Feeling the force Su Rui secretly applied to his shoulder, Zhou Xianwei hesitated for a moment but still nodded.

Chang Jun was extremely pleased, but his gaze toward Su Rui and the others was full of disdain. In his view, these were all Zhou Xianwei’s incompetent teammates, a bunch of people trying to take the opportunity to cozy up to him. To hook that beauty with the exceptional temperament, he had no choice but to agree.

“Alright then, tonight at the Junlan Kaibin Hotel. I’ve already reserved a table.” At this point, Chang Jun couldn’t help but feel a surge of pride. This was Ninghai’s most upscale hotel; one meal here would cost enough for Zhou Xianwei to earn over several years.

Moreover, it was said that the Junlan Queen, Qin Yueran, was also a top-quality beauty with exceptional temperament. He wondered if he’d have the chance to see her tonight?

Of course, if she could come pour some drinks, that would be even better!

“How about riding in my car?” The group walked out of the stadium together, and Chang Jun pointed to the BMW 730 parked nearby, a smug expression crossing his face. This type of car worth over a million wasn’t something everyone could afford.

“No need, we have our own car.” Su Rui pointed to a Passat nearby.

Chang Jun looked at the Passat, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes. He knew that people who drove Passats weren’t particularly wealthy, and this one didn’t even have a sunroof, clearly a low-end configuration.

Chang Jun sneered: “Nice car. Did you buy it with a loan? How much was the down payment?”

Hearing this, even Li Yang couldn’t help but frown. If not for fear of disrupting Su Rui’s plans, he probably would have slapped him right then and there.

Would a descendant from that super family need a loan to buy a Passat?

“Paid in full.” Su Rui seemed completely unbothered by Chang Jun’s attitude and replied.

Seeing that his attempt to look down on them had failed, Chang Jun didn’t want to continue the conversation: “Alright then, I’ll lead the way and you follow.”

This person clearly hadn’t realized that the middle-aged man wearing sunglasses standing next to Su Rui was none other than Li Yang, the current leader of the Azure Dragon Gang!

Several people got into the Passat, with Li Yang, the gang leader, becoming the driver.

Su Rui and Zhou Xianwei sat in the back. The former looked at his still somewhat dazed brother and patted his thigh: “I must say, your romantic rival is pretty low-class.”

Hearing this, Zhou Xianwei collected his scattered thoughts, looked up with a bitter smile and said: “If you know he’s so low-class, why did you agree to have dinner with him? Doesn’t that make you low-class too?”

“I want to see just how low-class he can be. Of course, I don’t mind making him even more low-class.” Thinking of the diamond ring on Wang Qi’s hand, Su Rui shook his head: “Haven’t seen each other in years, but it seems you still haven’t forgotten her.”

“I thought I had forgotten, but when we met, I realized I hadn’t.” Zhou Xianwei’s mind was filled again with that face that made him love and hate at the same time.

“Then tonight I’ll help you forget completely. What do you think?” Su Rui looked at Zhou Xianwei, a hint of playfulness in his eyes.

“Do as you please.” At this point, Zhou Xianwei naturally didn’t care. In fact, more than two years ago, Wang Qi had already completely broken his heart. Now that they’d met again, if Su Rui could help him forget all this completely, it wouldn’t be a bad thing.

“A BMW?”

Su Rui stared at the taillights of the car ahead, a contemptuous look appearing at the corner of his mouth as he said meaningfully: “In order to sit in a BMW and cry, Wang Qi missed the chance to sit in a Rolls-Royce and smile.”

Hearing this, both Zhang Ziwei and Li Yang were slightly surprised. They couldn’t see through how wealthy Zhou Xianwei really was, but since Su Rui said this, it must be close to the truth. Anyone who could afford a Rolls-Royce worth seven or eight million must have assets of at least tens of millions, right?

Hearing Su Rui’s words, Zhou Xianwei smiled bitterly: “Big brother, when she was with me, I looked like a poor guy. I’m also responsible for this. If I had revealed my identity earlier and given her a sense of security, maybe what happened later wouldn’t have occurred.”

“You’re still speaking up for her?” Su Rui looked somewhat dissatisfied: “Don’t you know that this was the best test of a woman? If she knew your family home was a palace, would she still have chosen to leave you? How else could you know whether she loved you as a person or your money?”

This society is too utilitarian and realistic; it’s almost impossible to find pure love anymore. Feelings must be based on material things. Zhou Xianwei naturally understood that Su Rui was telling the truth, but this made his heart feel even worse.

For her, he had been willing to change his life path, willing to give up his most beloved career, paying so much, yet it couldn’t compare to a BMW.

This dinner was clearly not going to be pleasant for Zhou Xianwei. It remained to be seen whether he could hold his chopsticks steady facing his ex-girlfriend.

However, as the Passat drew closer and closer to the Junlan Kaibin Hotel, Su Rui actually began to feel nervous.

Wasn’t he supposed to be helping Zhou Xianwei make a clean break with the past? How had he become nervous first?

When facing over a thousand enemies surrounding him alone, Su Rui had never been this nervous, yet now he had the impulse to turn around and run.

Could it be because of Qin Yueran?

Thinking of that curvaceous figure and those exceptional long legs, Su Rui couldn’t help but smile bitterly. Last time, he and Qin Yueran had gotten wild on the rooftop all night. Although they hadn’t taken that final substantial step, their relationship had become thoroughly complicated.

Calling her a girlfriend wouldn’t be right, but they had kissed in their moment of passion. They couldn’t be friends with benefits, could they?

Su Rui thought about the relationship between them, his face full of dark lines. Thinking that he might very well see Qin Yueran again, he really worried it would be very awkward.

What you worry about always comes to pass. In front of the lobby, Su Rui had already spotted a tall figure.

“Whew!”

This guy let out a long breath and directly shrank down, half-lying on the seat.

This action surprised everyone in the car.
