Summer Kiss

Chapter 67 Gather together

Because of Meng Shuyu, Xie Linzhou gathered a group of close friends together and is currently confiding in them.

Just then, Jiang Yuning was coming, and he needed to ask her about Meng Shuyu.

He wouldn't be Xie if he didn't subdue Meng Shuyu.

Fu Xicheng hung up the phone. He didn't ask Xie Linzhou for details during the call, only that those people were there.

"It's quite a coincidence, I don't know how it happened, but Xie Linzhou actually called them all out."

"Jiang Yuning, you don't need to be nervous. They are very friendly to the opposite sex."

friendly?

Is Fu Xicheng sure he didn't use the wrong word?

Instead of asking about his friend, she said, "I'm not nervous."

Fu Xicheng had a faint smile on his face. He was worried that Jiang Yuning would be shy and nervous when she saw them.

It seems he's overthinking things.

"Don't be nervous. They're just ordinary people. When you meet them, it'll feel like you're with me. You can joke around with them as you like."

Ordinary people?
Jiang Yuning, however, did not think so. She felt that Fu Xicheng's friends could shake Haicheng with a stomp of their feet.

She couldn't listen to Fu Xicheng's advice and joke around with them carelessly; if the jokes went too far, there would be no way to salvage the situation.

Fu Xicheng found a parking spot, and he and Jiang Yuning got into the car. Soon, Fu Xicheng drove to Twilight Bar.

Seeing Fu Xicheng park his car in front of the Twilight Bar, Jiang Yuning frowned and asked suspiciously, "Fu Xicheng, are you sure this is the place?"

Fu Xicheng nodded. He and Xie Linzhou usually gathered at Twilight Bar when they played games together, so it was not surprising that they came here today.

He explained to Jiang Yuning, "Let me tell you a secret. Actually, Twilight Bar is one of your boss's properties. The private rooms on the top floor are quiet, and no one dares to come in and disturb you."

The big boss's businesses?
Does the CEO work in such a wide range of industries?
As far as she knew, Twilight Bar had been in Haicheng for many years. It turned out that the owner behind the scenes was actually her boss. Jiang Yuning was incredulous.

She found it utterly absurd that someone would work for the big boss during the day and then spend their nights at the bar owned by him.

"Fu Xicheng, are you sure this Twilight Bar is owned by the president?"

Fu Xicheng hummed in agreement. Twilight Bar wasn't that popular before.

After Lu Zhiqian bought the bar, he hired someone to renovate and redesign it. Even the waiters and bartenders had to undergo professional training before they could work.

Fu Xicheng turned off the engine and looked at Jiang Yuning. "This place wasn't his property before, but it is now. Do you know why he spent so much money to buy it?"

Jiang Yuning shook her head. She had only met the president a few times, so how could she understand his thoughts?

Fu Xicheng understood the background: "This is where Lu Zhiqian's parents first met and fell in love with each other in Haicheng."

Jiang Yuning was surprised, "So there's a romantic love story behind this."

Fu Xicheng smiled faintly; this Twilight Bar would be their most cherished memory.

……

The rooftop of the Dusk Bar.

Fu Xicheng led Jiang Yuning by the hand into the private room.

Jiang Yuning entered the private room and first glanced at everyone inside. When she saw Lu Zhiqian sitting on the sofa, she was so surprised that she froze on the spot without making any move.

Fu Xicheng asked in confusion, "Why aren't we leaving?"

Jiang Yuning tugged at Fu Xicheng's arm and lowered her voice, "Why didn't you tell me the boss was here too?"

“I told you that all the people in the private room are my friends. I thought you knew that Lu Zhiqian would be here.”

Jiang Yuning had no idea that her boss was also here. If she had known, she wouldn't have come here with Fu Xicheng. Xie Linzhou leaned back on the sofa like a lord, glancing at the two people standing in the doorway.

"What are you two whispering about? Speak louder, we can't hear you."

Fu Xicheng squeezed Jiang Yuning's fingers, indicating that she didn't need to be too nervous, and then led her to them.

"Let me reintroduce myself. This is my girlfriend, Jiang Yuning. I hope you will all take good care of her in the future."

Xie Linzhou spoke in a nonchalant manner, leaning lazily to the side, "If we're talking about taking care of Miss Jiang, it should be Lu Zhiqian who takes care of her, since none of the rest of us can get involved."

Just then, Jiang Yuning called out in a low voice, "President."

Lu Zhiqian looked up, pointed to the sofa on the side, and smiled gently and elegantly, "You don't need to be too reserved when talking to me. You are Fu Xicheng's girlfriend, so you will naturally be our friend in the future."

Jiang Yuning dared not be friends with the president. She subconsciously looked at Fu Xicheng and gripped his hand tightly.

Fu Xicheng put his arm around Jiang Yuning's shoulder, coughed lightly, and reminded them, "My girlfriend is timid, Lu Zhiqian, don't scare her."

Lu Zhiqian: "..."

Does he seem like the kind of scary person?

He was already being very polite in his words.

Fu Xicheng led Jiang Yuning to sit on the sofa.

At this moment, Xie Linzhou shifted his position and moved closer to Jiang Yuning.

"Miss Jiang, can I ask you something?"

Jiang Yuning raised an eyebrow, recalling the connection between Xie Linzhou and Meng Shuyu, and she felt that Xie Linzhou probably wanted to ask about Meng Shuyu.

She asked, "What is it?"

Xie Linzhou fawned over Jiang Yuning and poured her a cup of tea. The aroma of Longjing tea was enticing, filling the entire private room with a refreshing fragrance.

"I want to ask Meng Shuyu if there's anything she's afraid of?"

Jiang Yuning exclaimed in surprise, "Ah!" If you were to ask Meng Shuyu what she feared most, it would be her boss deducting her wages.

Jiang Yuning glanced at Lu Zhiqian subconsciously, and Xie Linzhou followed her gaze.

He touched his chin, as if he understood everything.

Does Jiang Yuning mean that Meng Shuyu is afraid of her boss?

It seems he can use this to blackmail her.

Jiang Yuning only expressed her thoughts with her eyes; whether Xie Linzhou understood them was none of her business.

"Xie Linzhou, what kind of riddle are you two playing? Did you understand Miss Jiang's expression?"

The speaker was Qi Shubai, CEO of Chushang International. He was holding a teacup in one hand and playing with his phone in the other.

Xie Linzhou glanced at him sideways, "Qi Shubai, don't you even know who I am, Xie Linzhou? I naturally understand what Miss Jiang means with just one look."

"When did you become so smart?"

The way he's talking makes him sound like an idiot.

However, Xie Linzhou wasn't angry. He gave Qi Shubai a look and said calmly, "You haven't seen me at my smartest yet."

Jiang Yuning watched them joking around with curiosity, and it was clear that they had a good relationship.

Fu Xicheng quietly grasped Jiang Yuning's hand and said in a chilling tone, "Xie Linzhou, who are you showing off to? Watch your eyes."
