Chapter 3 Be careful
The two of them went out together, using the excuse of going on a date.
Mr. Shen and Mrs. Xie were happy to see them and stood at the door to watch them leave.
The black Bentley quickly drove into the night.
At the next intersection, the car turned sharply and stopped.
Shen Nanxi got out of the car and Ge Weiwei called again. She answered the call while walking without turning her head.
Xie Jiang glanced at Xie Jingwei through the rearview mirror in the car.
That usually handsome face now looked so gloomy that water could drip out of it.
Fortunately, he was used to Xie Jingwei's unpredictable changes, and he was still able to maintain the professional qualities of an assistant: "Mr. Xie, where are we going next?"
"Where?"
Xie Jingwei sneered, with a heavy ending tone, leaned back on the soft seat, stretched out his arms, and said coldly: "Go to X-ZONE."
Miss Who, a newly opened bar in Lan Kwai Fong, is located on the corner of the street.
The decoration is very Westernized, exuding a passionate and unrestrained European and American style.
open the door.
A rich, cool fragrance wafts towards you, slightly sweet with a hint of lavender, and it smells relaxing and pleasant.
The bar is always bustling late at night.
Deafening music and blurry spotlights.
Men and women, squirming together, indulge their bodies to the fullest.
Shen Nanxi took a few steps forward and a man bumped into her. He looked at her with a sticky gaze, said sorry, and then walked away.
Ge Weiwei was sitting in the innermost luxurious booth, with two good-looking brown-haired boys beside her, one with blue eyes and the other with green eyes, both with fair skin. When they smiled, the corners of their mouths were raised with a charming feeling that attracted people's attention.
See Shen Nanxi.
Ge Weiwei's eyes lit up and she waved at her: "Here!"
She pushed one of the boys away and asked Shen Nanxi to sit next to her. Without saying anything, she gave her a big bear hug and said, "Nanxi, I miss you so much!"
There were two bottles of Louis-XIII, each costing hundreds of thousands of dollars, on the table.
Shen Nanxi took a look and asked meaningfully, "When did you start liking drinking foreign wine?"
Ge Weiwei chuckled twice, glared at Shen Nanxi, and pointed at the boys in the booth and introduced them: "This is Felix, and this is Eden."
Finally, she gave Shen Nanxi a wink: "We just met."
Oh, the bar's "special" salesperson.
Shen Nanxi understood immediately.
The blue-eyed Felix sat down next to Shen Nanxi, poured her a glass of wine, and presented it to her with both hands, with a somewhat flattering smile.
"Thank you."
Shen Nanxi took it and put it back on the table, then turned to look at Ge Weiwei: "Why did you come so suddenly this time?"
The last time Ge Weiwei came to Gangcheng to find Shen Nanxi, she gave Shen Nanxi ten days' notice in advance and showed her Miss Ge's style, instructing Shen Nanxi to make sure to arrange good food and drinks.
Nowadays.
He came without even saying hello.
Shen Nanxi felt that there was something wrong with her.
really.
After she asked, Ge Weiwei's smile fell, "Don't mention it, my dad wanted me to marry Luo Chen, but I disagreed and ran away."
"With Luo Chen?"
Shen Nanxi was a little surprised: "Are you two together?"
"No."
Speaking of Luo Chen, Ge Weiwei was a little irritated. She picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine: "My father took a fancy to Luo Chen's family's new energy industry and wanted to form an alliance."
Rich people’s marriages are all about matching social status.
For super rich second-generations like Shen Nanxi and Ge Weiwei, their marriages are more concerned with family background.
Ge Weiwei and Luo Chen were childhood sweethearts and had a very close relationship. In addition, their family backgrounds were comparable, so it was expected that they would be brought together by their elders.
Shen Nanxi didn't know how to respond to this topic.
She herself was also in a business marriage, and her situation was similar to Ge Weiwei's.
The only difference is that Ge Weiwei ran away and she got married.
"Don't talk about this, drink!"
Ge Weiwei touched Shen Nanxi's wine glass and took the initiative to skip the topic.
Shen Nanxi didn't like brandy, so she ordered a Long Island iced tea.
The two hadn't seen each other for half a year, so they had a lot of topics to talk about while drinking.
Felix and Eden were serving on the side, very enthusiastically, occasionally recommending some good wines, with smiles so sweet that they could make you sick to death.
Ge Weiwei likes this the most. No matter how expensive it is, she pays for it all with a credit card! If she can't finish it, she saves it.
Shen Nanxi reminded: "You don't come here often, what are you doing here?"
Ge Weiwei leaned on Shen Nanxi's shoulder: "I plan to stay here for a week."
Shen Nanxi: "..." This past week has not been a peaceful day.
After chatting for a few more words, Eden, who had gone out to order some drinks, came back with nothing in his hands.
He bent down and whispered in Ge Weiwei's ear: "Miss Ge, I'm sorry, your card has been frozen."
"Frozen?"
Ge Weiwei was startled and quickly took out the other three bank cards from her bag and asked Eden to try them all.
The result is freezing.
"It's over."
Ge Weiwei looked at Shen Nanxi and was about to cry: "I have become a pauper."
Shen Nanxi couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth: "Your old man is very quick."
"Nanxi."
Ge Weiwei threw herself on Shen Nanxi's body, her crying even louder than the music in the bar: "I'll ask you to support me during this period of time."
Shen Nanxi pushed it away with a look of disgust: "No."
Ge Weiwei burst into tears: "Why?"
Shen Nanxi: "No money."
Ge Weiwei hugged Shen Nanxi's arm tightly and rubbed her head against her shoulder: "Then raise him in poverty."
Seeing Ge Weiwei's shameless look, Shen Nanxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. After pushing her away twice without success, she had no choice but to agree.
Ge Weiwei then let go: "Hehe, I knew my Nan Xi is the best."
Shen Nanxi paid for the drinks she ordered and handed the card to Ge Weiwei, "You know the password."
Ge Weiwei took the card and started chatting and laughing again.
The subject of the chat just now was Shen Nanxi, and now it’s Felix and Eden.
Sitting between them, taking a sip of wine and asking a question, he soon became drunk and held on to one of them tightly.
Shen Nanxi sat opposite, shook her head helplessly, and took out her cell phone...
Austin Road.
World Trade Center, 118th floor.
Xie Jingwei sat on the private terrace of the X-ZONE bar, holding a glass of whiskey in his hand, shaking it but not drinking it.
With her slightly raised eyes, she stared at the night view of Victoria Harbour in silence.
"What? You called me out in the middle of the night just to watch you in a daze?"
Ji Yuan lit a cigarette, took a puff, yawned, and blew smoke rings, "If nothing happens, I'll go back first."
He had just returned from a business trip abroad and hadn't slept for forty-eight hours, so he was extremely sleepy.
"Why doesn't she like me?"
Xie Jingwei put down the whiskey and asked Ji Yuan with a serious expression.
"Who?"
Ji Yuan was too sleepy to react immediately.
He scratched his head twice and said, "How should I know?"
Facing Xie Jingwei's narrowed eyes, he yawned continuously, then he perked up and thought for a few seconds before expressing his understanding: "Shen Nanxi is a person who only responds to softness and not hardness. You have been bullying her since she was a child. It would be strange if she likes you."
"Also, she's married to you, but you're still targeting her, trying to steal her projects, people, and endorsements. If I were her, I would have hired someone to assassinate you eight hundred years ago!"
Ji Yuan and Xie Jingwei are brothers, know Shen Nanxi, and are very familiar with how they get along.
After Xie Jingwei heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "That's true."
Ji Yuan leaned back in his chair, pretending to be an experienced person, and said earnestly: "So, you have to treat Shen Nanxi well. Women need to be coaxed. The more you coax them, the better they will treat you. Relying on doing bad things to attract girls is a trick played by children. It is outdated."
Xie Jingwei pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled again. When the smile reached his eyes, there was a hint of nameless bitterness.
After a long silence, he sighed.
He took the cigarette box and put a cigarette between his lips. "By the way, is that actress Wen Ping going to make a comeback?"
Ji Yuan nodded: "That's right."
Xie Jingwei lit a cigarette: "Have you found an agency?"
Ji Yuan: “Not yet.”
Xie Jingwei's eyes rolled and he said "Oh" meaningfully.
Ji Yuan didn't understand, so he asked, "Do you want to sign?"
"Do not."
Xie Jingwei picked up the whiskey, took a sip, looked at the Victoria Harbour which was decorated with neon lights and looked particularly charming in the hazy night fog, and said slowly: "Nan Xi wants to sign."
Ji Yuan: "You won't..."
Xie Jingwei: "I will."
Ji Yuan rolled his eyes, annoyed: "Be careful of the crematorium where you chase your wife!"
Xie Jingwei pondered for a few seconds and smiled slightly: "You have to be careful."
