Chapter 5 Living in Bengbu
Two Benz commercial vehicles drove into the parking lot one after another.

Next to the parking space.

Su Ti huddled in the passenger seat with a pale face, not even having the strength to speak.

Xiang Qing was leaning on the steering wheel, also looking pale.

The atmosphere in the car gradually became tense.

"咚咚-"

At this moment, the front of the car was hit twice.

Su Ti and Xiang Qing looked at the same time and saw Liang Jingze, who was wearing a casual polo shirt, half bent over and looking into the car.

Seeing Liang Jingze, Su Ti slid under the seat calmly, trying to hide herself.

Xiang Qing's expression lit up, he rolled down the car window and leaned out to greet him, "Brother Ze, what a coincidence, long time no see!"

"It's been a while since we last met." Liang Jingze walked around the front of the car and leaned on the window with one hand. "Are you just arriving or are you leaving?"

Xiang Qing: “Uh…”

How to answer?
Xiang Qing subconsciously glanced at Su Ti.

Liang Jingze also bent over to look at the passenger seat. When he saw Su Ti covering her face with her hair, he exclaimed, "Don't cover it, I can see it."

Su Ti sighed and smoothed her long hair back, "How come you have time to come to Yushan Residence?"

"Who are you calling old?" Liang Jingze suddenly thought of something and teased, "I remember... you two don't have membership in Yushan Residence."

Xiang Qing pursed her lips and kept silent.

Su Ti: "Walking, passing by."

Liang Jingze's smile deepened. "From Dongcheng to Dijiahe, it's more than 40 kilometers?"

Su Ti looked at Liang Jingze quietly without saying anything.

It is very immoral to expose other people's secrets.

Liang Jingze smiled and looked at Su Ti for a few seconds, then gave in first. "Since we've come here for a stroll, do you want to go in and take a look?"

Xiang Qing bounced in her seat excitedly, "Brother Ze, can you take us in?"

Liang Jingze took out a member card from his pocket, held it between his fingers and handed it to Xiang Qing, "Take the card and go in by yourself. I have guests tonight and can't accompany you."

Before leaving, he reminded me again: "Don't play too late and go home early."

Xiang Qing responded repeatedly.

Su Ti hummed absentmindedly, but her eyes drifted towards the window.

At this time, the electric door of the Benz commercial vehicle was open three parking spaces away.

In the back seat of the car, the ceiling light was on.

The man sat by the door, his long legs folded casually, his trousers slightly moved up, revealing the black shiny leather shoes that are a standard for successful men.

His cheek was half blocked by the car door, but just the silhouette of his figure and the calm and noble aura of authority were enough for Su Ti to recognize who the other person was.

After all, we had spent the afternoon 'together' in the cabin.

Mr. Rong, Rong Shaoting, who made her doubt herself many times.

Su Ti withdrew her gaze, her expression numb.

She had run to the outskirts of the mountains, how could she still meet him?

Thinking of the embarrassing scene on the plane, Suti immediately backed down.

But no matter how much she thought about it, under Xiang Qing's enthusiastic urging, Su Ti really couldn't say anything to spoil the fun.

After Liang Jingze and Rong Shaoting left first, Su Ti slowly got out of the car and followed Xiang Qing into the Yushan Residence again.

……

After some trouble, the two best friends finally had the cloisonné hotpot.

Delicious food can really make people's bad mood disappear.

After eating hot pot, Su Ti and Xiang Qing went for essential oil spa.

We have enjoyed everything we should enjoy, and now it is time to keep track of the activities, go to the health tavern in Yushandi to enjoy the alcoholic life.

The pointer turned twice and it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

A hot spring tavern at the back of Miyama Residence.

There is a sparse bamboo forest in the atrium.

There is an open-air seating area next to the bamboo forest, with scented candles lit on each table.

Liang Jingze clinked glasses with Rong Shaoting while holding a glass of whiskey. "This time Ronggang's shipping business is moving north. Do you plan to stay in Pingjiang permanently?"

The man took a sip of wine and opened his thin lips slightly, "Not necessarily, it is more likely that he ran to two places."

"You are really exhausted." Liang Jingze sighed: "Managing the entire group in Hong Kong, and then coming to the mainland..."

Before he finished speaking, two familiar voices came from the side. "What are your plans for tomorrow?"

Liang Jingze recognized it as Xiang Qing's voice.

Then, Suti's lazy tone sounded, "Go to work."

Xiang Qing hesitated for a moment, "Are you addicted to being a social animal?"

Sometimes, Xiang Qing really admires Su Ti.

Be firm and courageous, and do what you say.

When Xiang Qing first learned that Su Ti wanted to move out of home to experience new life, she laughed at her for being unrealistic.

These pampered rich girls have been spoiled since childhood, and everything they have seen and heard along the way is the smooth road paved with money.

I can do whatever I want every day, have fun in different ways, and make my life wonderful.

Why seek suffering? Go out and experience the cruelty of society and get beaten by society?

Xiang Qing thought Su Ti would give up after three days.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, she had been working in the company for nearly a month and showed no signs of giving up.

Xiang Qing couldn't guess what kind of medicine Su Ti was selling in her gourd.

But she was sure that it was impossible for someone to go through so much trouble just to have a relationship.

Su Ti didn't answer Xiang Qing's question. She flipped through the wine list in her hand and muttered, "It's so late, Brother Ze should have left, right?"

Liang Jingze's voice floated from the rest area: "Not leaving."

Su Ti: “…”

A moment later, Su Ti and Xiang Qing sat opposite Rong Shaoting and Liang Jingze.

Four people, two by two, facing each other, the atmosphere was quite weird.

Liang Jingze introduced the three parties, but he concealed Rong Shaoting's name and only referred to him as Mr. Rong.

Suti happened to be sitting opposite the man.

It was the first time that Su Ti sat at the same table with someone with whom she was incompatible, and she was almost unable to hold back.

We met three times in two days.

This is a ridiculous development. If you put yourself in her shoes, how would Rong Shaoting view her?
Tracking by all means?
A deliberate approach?
Trying every possible means to meet someone?
Su Ti was speechless, but in order to prevent Liang Jingze from seeing the clues, she could only pretend to get away with it, "Mr. Rong, nice to meet you."

Rong Shaoting leaned against the sofa, supporting his forehead with two fingers, his posture exuding a sense of leisure and comfort, "What would you like to drink?"

"No need to trouble you, Mr. Rong." Su Ti said in a social manner, "We are just passing by and will leave soon."

Xiang Qing: “?”

That's not what you just said!

At this time, Liang Jingze bit the cigarette butt and said jokingly, "It's rare. This is the first time I see you come to the bar without drinking."

Su Ti: “…”

Can you please stop saying things like this that make people think too much?

However, a man like Rong Shaoting, who has been in a high position for a long time, is used to seeing all kinds of faces and can read the other person's unfinished words with just a glance or a slight expression.

Suti's various behaviors and stiff body language all indicate a possibility.

This Miss Su felt very uncomfortable in his presence.

This realization flashed through his mind, and a dark meaning suddenly appeared in the man's eyes.

Rong Shaoting brushed off the cigarette embers on his trousers, propped himself up and stood up, calmly and politely, "Excuse me for a moment."

Although Liang Jingze's social status is not as good as Rong Shaoting's, he has been in business for many years and his ability to read people's expressions is equally impressive.

Xiang Qing could sense the eerie atmosphere emanating from the table.

There's no reason why he couldn't see it.

Liang Jingze looked at Su Ti leisurely: "Why, do you know Mark?"

Su Ti's back softened, and he answered weakly, "I don't know him."

Liang Jingze cheated: "How do you know his name is Mark if you don't know him?"

Suti said with a wooden face: "I don't know who is called Mark, so I don't know him."

The two played a word game.

Xiang Qing on the side had a bewildered look on her face, as if she was listening to a foreign language.

What happened? Who is Mark? What are they talking about?
Su Ti touched his forehead and pulled Xiang Qing to stand up. "It's getting late, Brother Ze, we're leaving first."

Liang Jingze did not stop them and walked them out of the bamboo forest. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

I always feel like there is some unknown secret between Su Ti and Rong Shao Ting.
