MTL - She Really Hates-Chapter 30
But once the meal starts, and a few more drinks, it's not that easy to stop.
When the wine is hot, there are emotional issues on the table.
"My husband, the squad leader, also knows me." The woman sitting opposite Meng Xi was dressed very delicately and wiped her mouth slowly, "He's fine anywhere, but he's so worried about me, he has to explain it for a long time when he goes out. .I almost got into a fight with him about going out for dinner today."
The squad leader who was named laughed: "Mr. Zhang is very serious at work, but I didn't expect to love his wife like a life in private."
Someone echoed: "That's right, it looks like eyeballs."
There are also people who can't stand her. "Puchi" laughed and said, "I remember that my brother has a cat. The pet cat is good-looking, but it's too delicate, and the cat's food will cause a stomach upset. It can't be like an ordinary family. Raised like a cat."
Meng Xi has nothing to do with these.
She felt that it was almost over, and watched the performances of the nearby theaters on her mobile phone.
Who knew that after a few chats, the delicate woman suddenly changed her words: "Is the squad leader not married yet? I haven't heard of a girlfriend in all these years, are you still waiting for the goddess in your heart?"
As soon as this sentence came out, it immediately caused a roar from others.
Most of the people's eyes were cast towards this side, and they were looking at Meng Xi... Song Zhiyi beside him.
Song Zhiyi didn't seem to notice anything.
She was dragged by Meng Xi to pick out films.
Meng Xi wanted to watch sci-fi movies, but the only sci-fi movie that was released had a bad introduction; Song Zhiyi was a little interested in music-themed romances, but Meng Xi had seen it.
The heroine of the incident didn't mean to join the conversation at all. The squad leader was a little embarrassed, but still said with a wry smile: "Yeah, I used to think that she was not worthy of her. Now that she has a successful career, I have the confidence to say that I like it."
"To tell you the truth, half of the classmates' reunion this time wants to meet her."
This was almost a face-to-face confession, which made the atmosphere of the banquet even more lively.
Many people asked knowingly: "Who is it? The squad leader speaks out boldly, so infatuated, no matter who will be moved!"
The exquisite woman directly called her name: "Who else could it be? Why doesn't our piano goddess speak?"
Meng Xi put down her phone in annoyance and looked at the opposite side with extremely bad eyes.
What to say, what to say? Even pretending that you don't know, you still don't understand, why does this woman have so many things?
She was about to start scolding people, but Song Zhiyi held her arm under the table, silently discouraging her.
"Me?" Song Zhiyi smiled gently, as if he didn't understand the hint at all, "I also have someone I like and can understand the squad leader's mood."
The air froze for a moment.
Obviously, Song Zhiyi politely refused.
Meng Xi was especially embarrassed.
Cough, she thought, the person she likes... doesn't mean me?
But when Song Zhiyi spoke, she didn't even look here. Could it be that she was being affectionate?
...then who does she like?
Although the thinking at the beginning was different, at the end, Meng Xi fell into the same thinking as everyone else present.
After this incident, the atmosphere cooled down a bit, and it took a while for it to be heated up again.
Song Zhiyi left the table to go to the bathroom halfway through. As soon as she left, Meng Xi was a little bored and distracted from listening to others.
Still that beautiful woman.
She didn't speak loudly, but it was harsh. At this time, she was saying to Tong Dong: "Just now you said that you are a clerk in a small company, why did I meet you to deliver food last week? I'm not ashamed to say it, take out delivery. It's not ashamed, I heard that I make a lot of money. I can't do this kind of work, I feel tired from sitting in the office, and my husband even laughs at me being a rich wife, and he likes to joke too much. "
"Haha..." Tong Dong smiled awkwardly, "delivery food is a part-time job, and it's not that profitable..."
"Are you still part-time?"
The exquisite woman's face was incredulous, "You don't feel tired, it's not good to do something at this time, go shopping, do a spa, or go on a trip... You don't have any difficulties at home, right?"
"It's not difficult..."
"If you are in trouble, don't hide it. Everyone can help you a little bit. Oh, but I may not be able to borrow money. Don't get me wrong, because I usually swipe my husband's supplementary card for everything I buy... "
Meng Xi couldn't listen anymore.
Tong Dong had at least had a relationship with her once, and this woman was really annoying. Meng Xi was still unhappy about what Song Zhiyi had done before.
It may be that she has been with Song Zhiyi for a long time, and she has also been infected with a little bit of caution.
Meng Xi interrupted her: "Tong Dong, you should sit here."
The girl who greeted her and Song Zhiyi at the beginning had left beforehand, and there was just a vacant seat here.
Tong Dong said "Huh?", his face stunned, as if he hadn't reacted.
Meng Xi said, "I haven't finished talking about the last time we met. And don't you think it's too noisy to sit there? I can hear the mosquitoes buzzing here and get upset."
From the moment Meng Xi spoke, everyone focused their attention. After all, she was definitely the most worthy person in this party.
When everyone was a student, the class gap was not so obvious, and Meng Xi would not advertise his prominent family background everywhere. When he entered the society, many people would realize what kind of behemoth the "Meng family" was.
Not everyone here wants to gain benefits by befriending her, but certainly no one wants to offend her.
The same goes for refined women.
It's not that she's brainless and doesn't know that her show-off behavior is annoying, but she likes to see the other person's inferiority complex and jealousy.
At this moment, Meng Xi was ridiculed, but he didn't dare to provoke her, so he could only swallow this breath.
Tong Dong changed positions, sat down and thanked her in a low voice, holding back a smile.
"It's nothing, I just don't like her."
Meng Xi didn't go there for the pleasure of helping others.
She randomly found a topic, chatted with Tong Dong, and looked over when she heard the door of the box opening—
It wasn't Song Zhiyi who came in, it was the monitor who didn't look good.
Song Zhiyi hasn't come back yet? She was too slow to go to the bathroom.
and many more.
When did the squad leader go out? Meng Xi didn't pay attention to him at all before, but now he became alert.
Didn't he go to talk to Song Zhiyi alone?
Meng Xi couldn't help but took out his mobile phone and sent a message: [Are you lost in the hotel? 】
I quickly received a reply: [It's okay, don't worry, I'll be right back]
Meng Xi: "…"
What she said just now looked like she was worried? Is it that obvious?
Song Zhiyi really came back soon, and when he returned to his position, he saw Tong Dong on the other side of Meng Xi, and smiled kindly.
When Tong Dong turned to talk to the person next to her, she whispered to Meng Xi:
"You are really kind."
Meng Xi swore that he heard a slight but real unpleasantness from it.
This person was obviously not there just now, but he seemed to know everything at a glance.
But Meng Xi thought about it carefully, and consciously didn't do anything bad, and asked back with doubtful eyes.
Song Zhiyi said, "Lu Mei is targeting her. Last month, Lu Mei's husband took her to a concert alone and introduced her to the violin teacher Feng."
Why do you know this.
Lu Mei was the name of that delicate woman. Meng Xi can now understand why she troubled Tong Dong.
But Meng Xi has no guilt, she hates Lu Mei mainly because the other party is messing with Song Zhiyi, and has little to do with Tong Dong.
Song Zhi disagreed with her attitude of taking it seriously, but smiled: "Mr. Meng, you know that the overflow of sympathy is easy to be calculated by others."
This is by no means a kind smile.
Meng Xi complained: "You still said that? I have suffered the most from you since I was a child."
And it wasn't all because of her flood of sympathy.
"…"
Song Zhiyi paused for a while, silent as if he had been stabbed in the sore spot.
After Meng Xi saw her like this, she couldn't help but reflect - she's not a narrow-minded person, since she reconciled, she should smooth out the past, so she can mention it without any grudges; but is Song Zhiyi still unable to let go?
She pondered the words in her heart, trying to make up for it.
However, Song Zhiyi suddenly sighed softly, her voice softer than before, she said:
"Isn't it enough for me to make you suffer?"
Meng Xi: "…"
What about the distance between friends?
Other people at the wine table were talking loudly or joking loudly, and it seemed that they all turned into blurred backgrounds at that moment.
Only the sound as light as fine snow in the ear, accompanied by the faint mint smell, clearly exists.
This sentence alone seems to be nothing, but Meng Xi heard it in his ear, and only felt a slight heat in his ear, and the sense of distance that was deliberately shattered.
"...I'm going to the bathroom."
Meng Xi said.
Before she stood up, she seemed to give Song Zhiyi a gloomy smile.
The two of them turned their needles to Maimang in the past. They came together without talking, and they always whispered next to each other when they ate.
Tong Dong had already noticed it.
At this time, seeing Meng Xi leaving the table, she was thoughtful, and inadvertently smiled at Song Zhiyi, but with a hint of warning, her conditioned reflex tightened and she smiled unnaturally.
But when Song Zhiyi looked away and chatted with others, Tong Dong still made an excuse and left the box.
She found Meng Xi outside the bathroom who was doing makeup while washing her hands.
She is tall and well-proportioned, her curly long hair falls on the curve of her waist and hips, and she supports the sink with one hand. The warm orange and reddish nail polish shimmers with shimmering shimmering light and rests on the black marble board, making her fingers even more white. slender.
Her delicate and beautiful face was reflected in the mirror. The maple-leaf lipstick was gentle and moist, but it added a bright color to her face.
Tong Dong walked over: "Meng Xi."
"It is you."
Meng Xi glanced at her in the mirror, her tone was not cold, but it was not gentle either.
Tong Dong thought that after what happened just now, her attitude would be somewhat closer.
Did Song Zhiyi say something?
She didn't seem to notice this sense of distance, she walked forward with a small smile, thought about it, and stopped after a step or so.
"I haven't seen you for many years. You and Song Zhiyi have a really good relationship now. That... have you always been in touch?"
"...Say what you want to say."
"Ah... I'm sorry." She lowered her head, hesitantly, "Actually, I want to ask... Are you and Song Zhiyi dating now?"
"…"
Meng Xi's hands trembled and he almost smeared lipstick on his face.
After becoming a junior and an assistant, she is now an old classmate whom she hadn't seen for a long time - are she and Song Zhiyi so easily misunderstood?
Meng Xi began to doubt himself.
What's even worse is that when she encounters such a problem now, she feels guilty even in denial.
But nothing really happened between them!
Meng Xi originally listened to Song Zhiyi's words and didn't want to interact with Tong Dong too much, but at this time he couldn't help but ask:
"Why do you think so?"
