Chapter 191 Tempting Conditions (Page 12)
"I'm afraid that your brother Shaochen will kick me out when the time comes."
Shi Ning was helplessly entangled by Cheng Han and smiled helplessly.
Cheng Han's eyes widened, "No way! Even if he doesn't care about your previous relationship, at least you are still Captain Jiang's sister. Besides, he and his brother know each other, so you can be considered a hero. Why should he chase you away? Walk?"
"Why don't you call Zhou Huai first and ask him to accompany you? If he really doesn't agree, it won't be too late for me to agree."
Shi Ning didn't want to voice out all his worries and let Cheng Han worry with him.
I thought about the proposal for a while.
Cheng Han muttered, "He will definitely not agree."
But he honestly took out the phone, dialed Zhou Huai's number, and put it on speakerphone calmly.
"Are you looking for me?"
Zhou Huai was almost choked by her some time ago and had a psychological shadow.
Seeing that it was her who made the call, vigilance almost overflowed from the phone.
"Brother Shaochen is holding a banquet tomorrow. I'm alone here. I want you to be my companion, okay?"
Cheng Han glanced at Shi Ning and asked into the phone with a smile.
Her tone was so gentle that it made her water drop, and she was completely different from her usual self.
Zhou Huai's body was on full alert, "No, I have two important clients to meet tomorrow, and I have to arrange a book signing for the author."
Busy is really busy.
I am also really afraid of Cheng Han.
Cheng Han gave Shi Ning an expected look, blinked and said in a distressed tone, "My sister-in-law is going to go tomorrow too, do you really not think about it? You also know that her legs are not fully healed yet, in case she is... What should I do if I’m bullied?”
There was silence on the phone for several seconds.
After a long time, Zhou Huai asked tentatively, "Is she really going?"
"Of course!"
Everything is under control.
Cheng Han puffed up his chest and handed the phone to Shi Ning, "I'm with my sister-in-law right now. If you don't believe me, I asked her to tell you."
After saying that, he winked at Shi Ning and motioned for her to speak.
Shi Ning smiled helplessly and moved his eyes to the phone.
She didn't know that Cheng Han had already understood Zhou Huai's thoughts about her, but he felt guilty for no reason.
What she was thinking about was that if she wanted to pursue Zhou Huai, it would be more difficult to bring her along.
But she couldn't say such a thing.
I could only suppress my thoughts and said in a natural tone, "I do plan to go. But you also know my situation. I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany Cheng Han to socialize by then. Can you be her male companion for a day?"
She expressed her attitude directly and proposed that Zhou Huai should accompany Cheng Han and cut off all his fantasies about herself.
She didn't dare to give Zhou Huai the slightest hope, lest this precarious friendship would be broken.
Even if he knew that this would be cruel to Zhou Huai.
"how about you?"
There was a certain emotion suppressed in Zhou Huai's voice, "She is a normal person and can take care of herself. If you are not good at what you do, don't you need her more?"
His tone was even a little aggressive.
Even though he was ready to take back this relationship, he still felt uncomfortable when he heard Shi Ning push himself to someone else.
There was nowhere to vent the anger in my heart, and I didn't dare to let Shi Ning know, for fear that I wouldn't even be a friend.
But he also felt that it was normal for a friend to care about Shi Ning.
With such emotion, he blurted out his questioning words.
Shi Ning lowered his eyes, not daring to let Cheng Han see the guilt in his eyes. He just explained to him, "I'm fine. And I can't break the news about my divorce from Mu Shaochen yet. At the Mu family's banquet, It’s not appropriate to bring other male companions.”
"So, you plan to participate as the hostess?"
Perhaps feeling that he was too obvious, Zhou Huai put away the aggressive tone in his tone and replaced it with a tone that said he hates iron but cannot become steel.
"Ningzi, is your brain caught in the door? You two are divorced, and you still rush to support others. The worst is that we won't attend his party, what's the big deal?"
"Not as a hostess."
Shi Ning explained, "I'm going to attend a banquet next month and need Mu Shaochen's help. Before then, no one can find out about our divorce. If you don't attend the banquet, people will be suspicious."
She knew how far-fetched her words were.
Even if she didn't go to the banquet, Mu Shaochen would always find a reason to excuse her.
For example, she feels unwell.
For example, her leg injury has not healed yet...
But Cheng Han only said a few words and she agreed.
Only she knows the real reason.
Because she wants to go.
The banquet is an opportunity for business exchanges, and it is also a place where beautiful people gather.
She wanted to see Mu Shaochen up close.
Even though she didn't think he would flirt with others at the banquet, she was always uneasy.
She always has a feeling now.
As long as Mu Shaochen doesn't start dating anyone else, they still have a chance to get back together.
If he fell in love with someone else, she didn't want to be the last to know.
If this really happens.
She will also exit gracefully and decently, giving up the relationship completely.
But before that, she still wanted to fight for herself.
Especially when Mu Shaochen was dealing with her recently, he had obviously become much gentler.
She didn't want to miss any opportunity for the two of them to get along.
"I'll pick you up tomorrow evening."
After a long time, Zhou Huai spoke as if he was compromising.
With Shi Ning, he always seemed to compromise and give in.
got used to.
She wanted to kill someone and he handed her the knife.
She wants to be a licking dog for others, and he will be responsible for making suggestions.
In front of her, he has never been principled.
"Remember to dress handsomely when the time comes."
Cheng Han took his phone back and hung up.
He raised his eyebrows at Shi Ning proudly, "Look, I said as long as you go, Zhou Huai will definitely go."
Shi Ning was amazed by her thick nerves, but still explained, "We have been close friends since childhood, and he is also worried about me."
After saying that, he looked at Cheng Han again with a teasing smile, "When he has a girlfriend in the future, he will definitely treat his girlfriend better."
"Sister-in-law~"
Cheng Han stomped his feet and acted coquettishly, but turned around and frowned, with a look of disgust on his face.
Shi Ning didn't see her expression.
Realizing that the rest time was not short, I continued to fold the chair into a stable crutch, and got up to exercise walking.
Cheng Han quickly stepped forward, took the crutches away from her hand, and reached out to help her.
"You're not going to the company?"
Shi Ning was supported by Cheng Han and walked slowly, which was indeed more comfortable than being alone.
But it seems like today is not a day off.
"I'm taking leave and will go to work tomorrow."
Cheng Han wrinkled his nose.
Recalling that when she asked for leave, she said she wanted to accompany Shi Ning. Zhou Huai immediately approved it and allowed her to take paid leave.
She was full of vigilance.
