I'm Very Happy After Marrying the CEO Husband According to the Agreement-Chapter 118: I’m not Blind.
Chapter 118
Life in the Shen family was truly enjoyable.
Perhaps out of concern for Shen Tang's comfort, the members of the Shen family were incredibly warm and welcoming when appropriate, while also understanding the need to give her personal space without excessive intrusion.
However, the kinder they were to her, the more guilty Shen Tang felt.
She could never overcome the hurdle in her heart, always believing herself to be a shameless thief.
But she dared not speak it aloud; it was a secret she would never reveal in her lifetime.
After all, not everyone could accept living within the pages of a book.
The filming for the drama soon reached its conclusion, and Shen Tang's role was also coming to an end.
During this time, Shen Tang had become close with everyone, even the crew members were a little reluctant to see her leave.
After all, not everyone was so polite and generous.
The director, for once, was willing to spend some money and planned to treat everyone to a meal at a restaurant.
Qi Yue widened her eyes in surprise, "The stingy director is actually willing to spend money!"
The director was given the nickname "stingy director" behind his back because, in reality, he was quite thrifty, saving money and investing it all in filming.
Of course, everyone's teasing was in good spirits.
Shen Tang glanced behind her and blinked, pretending not to know, "What stingy director? I have no idea."
"Are you pretending? It's the director, of course. He's the stingiest. Don't you know? I even saw him rummaging through the trash cans once—"
"Speaking ill of others behind their back isn't very nice!"
The director's voice suddenly appeared behind them, startling Qi Yue.
"Why don't you make any sound when you walk?"
"That's not the point."
"It is the point! You're not exactly light, so why is there no sound at all?"
The director lowered his head and looked at his protruding belly, then glanced at Qi Yue's thin and stick-like figure, pursing his lips, "So what if I'm fat? Have you been eating my rice? My weight is agile."
Qi Yue raised an eyebrow, crossing her arms, "Yes, I have been eating your food."
Almost forgot, the boxed lunches provided by Qi Yue's family's hotel were now the crew's free meals.
As the saying goes, don't bite the hand that feeds you. After eating Qi's food for so long, the director couldn't stand straight in front of Qi Yue.
He shifted his gaze away, cleared his throat, and said, "Anyway, um, the restaurant is already booked, we're just missing the two of you."
"Let's go then."
Everyone was excited, thinking they could finally take advantage of the director, but to their surprise, when they arrived at the place, it turned out to be a shabby restaurant.
The place was small, not enough room for everyone to sit, and some even had to sit outside.
"Director..."
It's not that they couldn't eat the food here, they just had higher expectations, and the gap was too big, making it a bit hard to accept.
The director, with his hands behind his back, cleared his throat, "Don't judge this place by its size. In fact, the food here is excellent, especially the Sweet and Sour Pork, it's absolutely exceptional. I come here often to eat."
The owner of the restaurant came out with a smile to greet the guests. He was an old man with graying hair, but he was spirited and walked briskly, showing no signs of aging.
"Everyone, please come inside and take a seat. Order whatever you like."
Everyone gradually took their seats.
Shen Tang noticed that although the place was small, it was very clean. There were no stains in the corners, and the tables, chairs, and stools were all wiped spotlessly clean.
The boss wore a chef's hat and a mask, and had good personal hygiene.
Maybe the food here was really good.
Shen Tang initially planned to sit next to Qi Yue but was pulled by her to sit between them, away from Tang Shuqing.
The director sighed.
Shen Tang felt somewhat helpless.
Ever since the incident the last time, Qi Yue and Tang Shuqing had been at odds with each other. It all started when the director gossiped about Qi Yue being the sugar mama of Tang Shuqing. Qi Yue had been holding a grudge ever since and would take any chance to tease him.
Of course, it wasn't entirely Qi Yue's fault. After all, he was the one who was falsely rumored to be in a relationship with her nephew.
The boss handed them the menu, but the director didn't even look at it and directly ordered six dishes.
Qi Yue looked disdainful and said, "There are ten people at this table, and you only ordered six dishes?"
The director nonchalantly replied, "You wouldn't understand."
Qi Yue couldn't be bothered with him and turned to ask, "Why hasn't your nephew arrived yet?"
As if on cue, Tang Shuqing finally arrived. While everyone else was dressed casually, he was wearing a formal suit and had styled his hair.
As he got closer, Shen Tang caught a whiff of his cologne.
Tang Shuqing grabbed a small chair and squeezed himself between Shen Tang and the director. He asked, "Can I sit here?"
The director accommodated Qi Yue, but that didn't mean he would accommodate Tang Shuqing. He scoffed, "You've already sat down, why bother asking?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Shuqing leaned towards the director and said, "Oops, sorry, did I squeeze you?" He said it, but he didn't make any attempt to move away.
And so, the two of them ended up sitting tightly together. If someone didn't know any better, they would think they had a good relationship.
The director sighed.
It seemed like everyone from the Qi family had a grudge against him!
Thinking about the Qi family's investment, he decided to endure it!
As mentioned before, the director was very strict when it came to filming, but in daily life, he was more friendly. Wherever there was gossip, he would be there.
Sure enough, as soon as Tang Shuqing turned his head to talk to Shen Tang, the director's eyes lit up.
Tang Shuqing had something to say, but he couldn't say it under the director's gaze.
The director blinked and urged, "Carry on with your conversation, don't mind me."
However, as a grown man, it was impossible for him to pretend not to see anything.
Hearing the director's words, Qi Yue's body leaned slightly, her ears perked up.
Shen Tang didn't mind, but Tang Shuqing was infuriated.
He clenched his teeth and squeezed towards the director again, saying, "Do you two not have anything else to do?"
"No, we're just waiting for the food," Shen Tang replied.
As soon as she finished speaking, the boss brought the dishes.
Each plate was very large, bigger than a face, and there was a generous portion of food in each. The plates were so full that they were almost overflowing.
But with only six dishes, the table was completely filled.
Everyone at the table, except for the director, couldn't help but open their mouths wide in surprise.
"Why are there so many dishes?"
"Oh my god!"
The director smirked triumphantly and said, "For those who claim it's not enough, you must finish these dishes before leaving today."
Qi Yue: "......"
Why don't you just give me your ID card directly!
As soon as the dish arrived, Shen Tang couldn't wait to take a bite, and the taste was indeed good.
Then she buried her head and ate voraciously.
Completely oblivious to the occasional glances from Tang Shuqing beside her.
It was Qi Yue who noticed this and rolled his eyes disapprovingly.
With his mindset, it was as clear as day to everyone except Shen Tang, who remained clueless.
But she thought he didn't stand a chance.
Although he was handsome and wealthy, he was nothing compared to Gu Huaian.
Shen Tang wasn't blind, she didn't want pearls, she wanted fish eyes.
