Lu Shao is cunning; Miss Nan has fallen for his tricks again.

Chapter 134 features four brides vying for one groom.
Zhou Zan smiled and said, "Since I'm paying, you'd better not try to save me any money." With that, she got up, placed the menu on the rotating table, and turned it to face them.

"Since you're so generous, I won't stand on ceremony with you." Yan Xiaoxiao picked up the menu on the table and started ordering.

Xu Qinghan, on the other hand, always exudes a faint aloofness and detachment, making her unapproachable.

Zhou Zan was closest to her, and seeing that Xu Qinghan remained unmoved, she asked, "Sister Qinghan, aren't you going to look at the menu?" She then gestured for her to get the menu.

Hearing Zhou Zan's voice, Yan Xiaoxiao looked up from the menu, glanced at Xu Qinghan, and then looked away.

Xu Qinghan gently shook her head. "No need, you can order whatever you want. I'm not picky about food."

She never had a picky eating habit since she was a child. After studying in the United States for so many years and eating so much white food, she became even less picky about food.

Zhou Zan nodded almost imperceptibly. "So, what would you like to drink? Red wine? Juice? Cola? Or something else?"

"Just juice."

The food arrived quickly after we ordered. Yan Xiaoxiao insisted on opening a bottle of red wine, but Zhou Zan and Nan Xu couldn't drink alcohol since they had driven there. So the three of them drank juice instead.

"Ah Xu, I heard you started an entertainment company? Is it fun?" Yan Xiaoxiao asked as she picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks.

"It's all work. Can work be fun?" Nan Xu sneered before answering.

"Being around so many handsome men and beautiful women every day, even work would be different, right?" Yan Xiaoxiao continued to ask.

"To be honest, I can count the number of times I've been to the company on one hand since it was founded," Nan Xu said with a self-deprecating tone.

"Oh my god, won't your company go bankrupt?" Yan Xiaoxiao looked at Nan Xu with a slightly shocked expression.

This company has been established for about three months, right? I've only been there a few times in three months, so it's probably only a matter of time before it goes bankrupt.

Before Nan Xu could speak, Yan Xiaoxiao started talking to herself again.

"That's why husbands and fathers are so different. My old man is stingy with start-up capital, but your husband can give tens of millions in a flash." Yan Xiaoxiao sighed.

Upon hearing this, Nan Xu hurriedly interrupted, "Hey, hey, you can't just say things like that. My company has nothing to do with Lu Zhiyan; it was funded by my mother. The company was co-founded by my second brother and me."

At the end, fearing that Yan Xiaoxiao wouldn't believe her, she added, "I want to reiterate that my company has no connection with Lu Zhiyan."

"Oh, oh, you've already explained it clearly, why do you have to repeat it again? I believed you at first, but after what you said..." Yan Xiaoxiao deliberately omitted the rest of her words, glancing at Nan Xu as she spoke, as if to say, "I've seen through the essence of things."

"That's enough, enough is enough." Nan Xu glanced helplessly at Yan Xiaoxiao.

"Qinghan, when are you planning to go back to the United States?" Nanxu asked, looking at Xu Qinghan.

"After the New Year, I'll graduate next year, so I can start preparing for graduation now." Xu Qinghan put down her chopsticks, picked up the juice next to her, and took a sip.

"I heard from Xiaoxiao that you're planning to go back to China to develop your career. So, which hospital are you planning to go to?"

"It hasn't been decided yet. My mother wants me to stay at the Southeast Branch of Beijing No. 3 Hospital," Xu Qinghan said calmly.

The Southeast Branch of Beijing No. 3 Hospital, officially known as Beijing Sanxie Southeast Hospital, is a private hospital owned by the Xu family.

“Isn’t that your family’s private hospital? That’s great, it saves a lot of unnecessary trouble,” Zhou Zan said.

Xu Qinghan nodded, "Family businesses also have their advantages."

"Are you still getting a lot of orders lately?" After a long silence, Xu Qinghan finally spoke.

"There are quite a few, but Ah Xu is in a hurry, so I've been working on making her wedding dress recently."

Zhou Zan had barely finished speaking when Yan Xiaoxiao interrupted him.

"Wedding dress? The engagement party isn't even over yet, and the wedding is already on the agenda?" Yan Xiaoxiao was taken aback, looking at Nan Xu with a shocked expression.

Not only Yan Xiaoxiao was shocked, but Xu Qinghan was also shocked. Even Nan Xu herself was shocked, as she had no idea about this.

"No, how come I didn't know about this at all?" Nan Xu asked Zhou Zan in shock.

Zhou Zan slowly picked up a piece of pork rib and put it in his mouth. He glanced at Nan Xu before replying, "It's no big deal. I prepared it in advance because I remembered your size, so I wouldn't have to rush and not get enough rest."

"Aren't you being a bit too hasty?" Nan Xu sighed helplessly. Zhou Zan was unhappy to hear this.

Was she in a hurry? No, it was Lu Zhiyan who was in a hurry.

On the first day, they met Lu Zhiyan's family; on the second day, they met Nan Xu's family; and on the third day, both sets of parents formally met and then set an engagement date.

With only a week until the engagement, if there hadn't been too little time to prepare, Lu Zhiyan would probably have already decided to hold the engagement banquet the very next day.

Was she the one who was anxious? No, it was Lu Zhiyan who was anxious, but she just noticed.

She had a feeling that Lu Zhiyan and Nan Xu would hold their wedding within a month at most after the engagement banquet.

“It’s not that I’m in a hurry, it’s that Lu Zhiyan is in a hurry, you guys don’t know, right? Let me tell you… So, I guess their wedding won’t be long.”

Listening to Zhou Zan's detailed explanation, Yan Xiaoxiao and Xu Qinghan were both shocked by Lu Zhiyan's speed; he was far too impatient.

"So, was I being impatient? Or was it that I was clever enough to see through the surface and grasp the essence, while Lu Zhiyan's behavior was too obvious?" Zhou Zan helplessly spread his hands.

Yan Xiaoxiao admired Zhou Zan and couldn't help but applaud her, "You're amazing! Such a strong sense of observation at such a young age. You're even more observant than someone else." As she spoke, she glanced at "someone else."

Nan Xu chuckled. "Please, it's not a big deal that I don't know, is it?"

"Oh, it's no big deal. Lu Zhiyan will take care of everything. You can just be a beautiful bride then." As she spoke, she tucked a stray hair behind Nan Xu's ear.

Changing the subject, Yan Xiaoxiao went to ask Zhou Zan.

"Have you prepared your bridesmaid dress yet? My size hasn't changed."

"Bridesmaid dress? Me?" Zhou Zan pointed to herself in disbelief.

Yan Xiaoxiao nodded, puzzled.

Wasn't her meaning quite obvious? Did she really need to ask again?

Zhou Zan was so angry she laughed. She mainly made wedding dresses and only made wedding dresses.

So after all this time, she still doesn't know what her main job is? Or are they trying to steal the spotlight at Nanxu's wedding?
“I make wedding dresses, and you want me to make bridesmaid dresses? What? Are you going to stage a scene at the wedding where four ‘brides’ are fighting over one groom?” Zhou Zan seemed to have all her strength drained away.

Nan Xu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Yan Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, then said, "Uh, it's my own fault for not understanding it. I'm sorry." As she spoke, she couldn't help but laugh.

The thought of Zhou Zan's description of four brides vying for the groom is hilarious.

Xu Qinghan also had a faint smile on her lips.

Even after a long time, Yan Xiaoxiao's laughter was still very loud.

"Come on, is it that funny? Why are you still laughing?" Zhou Zan glanced at Yan Xiaoxiao helplessly.

It was just a casual joke, but Yan Xiaoxiao kept laughing at it with a hint of malice.

"If you were to stage that scene, wouldn't Ling Shu be devastated?"

"That's quite possible."

Yan Xiaoxiao and Nan Xu sang in harmony.

Zhou Zan pursed her lips and didn't say anything. She glanced at the time on her wristwatch.

It's already past 2 PM, and this meal has been going on for over an hour. She also has other clients scheduled for the afternoon.

"It's almost time. I have an appointment this afternoon, so I have to go. If you want anything else to eat, just order it and put it on my tab." Zhou Zan wiped her mouth with a tissue, then picked up her bag from the chair next to her and was about to leave.

"What else is there to eat? There's already a table full of food. We're full and we should get ready to go back." Yan Xiaoxiao took out her lipstick from her bag to touch up her makeup.

"Let's go, I'll take you back." With that, Nan Xu got up to escort Yan Xiaoxiao and Xu Qinghan back.
