Chapter 231 You Are Not Qualified Yet
As soon as he stepped into the elegantly decorated private room, Li Chenfeng smiled brightly at Lin Xuan, who was carefully pouring tea for Ye Wanqing, and said, "Ah Xuan, Lao Qin has an idea that he's eager to share with you."
Lin Xuan's hand paused slightly, and his deep eyes lifted from the teapot in his hand and looked at Qin Huai and his group who had just entered the room. His face was calm: "Oh? What's your suggestion?"
As soon as Qin Huai sat down, he quickly waved his hand to clarify: "Don't listen to Li Chenfeng's nonsense! I didn't mention anything!"
Ye Wanqing looked at them curiously, and finally couldn't help wondering, so she asked softly, "Mr. Qin, what did you say?"
Li Chenfeng glanced at Qin Huai, a playful smile on his face. "It's really nothing serious. He just thinks that since Xuan is already in his 40s, is it really necessary for him to be like those young people in a relationship, clinging to each other all day and holding hands?"
When Ye Wanqing heard this, a faint blush appeared on her cheeks, and the atmosphere became a little subtle for a moment.
Lin Xuan's gaze was once again fixed on Qin Huai, and that look seemed to be able to kill.
Qin Huai was so anxious that he kept waving his hands. "I really didn't say that! He was just teasing me! I was just joking at the door just now, saying that they were no good at pursuing girls, and he ended up holding a grudge against me!"
Lin Xuan did not comment, but silently pushed the teacup in his hand towards Qin Huai, saying calmly, "Have some tea."
Qin Huai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lin Xuan didn't seem to intend to investigate further. Just as he was about to reach out to take the teacup, he was burned by the scorching heat and pulled his hand back abruptly, gasping in pain.
Qin Huai instinctively wanted to put down the teacup, but Lin Xuan had already quietly moved the tea tray away, and his movements were so delicate that it was difficult to notice.
"..."
Qin Huai thought to himself that something was wrong. It seemed that Lin Xuan had listened to what they said.
When he put down the teacup, his fingers were already red from being burned. He couldn't help but touch his burning ears: "It can't be that bad, is it really that cruel?"
Lin Xuan glanced at him sideways, with a hint of teasing in his eyes, and Qin Huai immediately fell silent.
Forget it, he should stop talking. The more he explains, the more confusing it becomes.
Neither Lin Xuan nor Ye Wanqing were particularly talkative, but everyone at the table was a longtime friend, already quite familiar with one another. Add to that Qin Huai's cheerful personality, a love of conversation and laughter, and the meal was harmonious and relaxed.
The meal was quite pleasant, but there was a subtle tension between Xu Xinyi and Chen Anhe. Xu Xinyi was extremely depressed after being repeatedly interrupted by Ye Wanqing today, and the meal was also boring.
Therefore, as soon as the meal was over, Xu Xinyi couldn't wait to ask Chen Anhe to leave first and suggested to meet again another day.
Chen Anhe sat in a comfortable booth, his eyes wandering back and forth over Xu Xinyi. He smacked his lips in dissatisfaction, "Miss Xu, I've spent the entire day with you. You should at least give me some face and keep me company, right?"
He had already realized in the afternoon that the relationship between Lin Xuan and Ye Wanqing was anything but ordinary.
Thinking that Xu Xinyi had tried to set a trap for him before, Chen Anhe felt a surge of anger in his heart.
Although his anger had mostly subsided after seeing Xu Xinyi make a fool of herself in the afternoon, Xu Xinyi still had a sullen face during dinner, which made people extremely unhappy.
It wasn't her who offended him, not to mention that the Xu family was still counting on the Chen family's help. Xu Xinyi's purpose today was obviously to get a good price from him.
Since you came here to ask for help, it is a bit unreasonable to put on such a sour face.
Chen Anhe has never let himself be wronged. In the afternoon, he was a little more restrained in front of Lin Xuan, but that didn't mean he was willing to suffer.
Xu Xinyi was so tactless that he didn't want to save her face anymore.
She wanted to maintain the surface, but he was determined to tear off her hypocritical disguise.
Chen Anhe has always acted in his own way, with his own set of principles and style. He is smooth but not without bottom line, arrogant but not too bullying.
Before dinner, he was still willing to give Xu Xinyi some face, but after dinner, he was no longer willing to accommodate her.
Now that the relationship has been broken up, he is not afraid of causing a big uproar in the restaurant.
Therefore, the questions he asked were direct, sharp and merciless.
Xu Xinyi's face suddenly darkened, and she unconsciously tightened her grip on the exquisite handbag in her hand. Her eyes were as cold as ice, shooting coldly at Chen Anhe:
"Mr. Chen, what exactly do you mean by that? We've spent the entire day together, and I'm truly exhausted both physically and mentally. I just want to go home and rest early."
"Miss Xu has been really busy today. You've been acting like a lady from a noble family all day. It would be strange if she wasn't tired."
There was a hint of sarcasm in Chen Anhe's words, which stabbed Xu Xinyi mercilessly.
Her cheeks instantly flushed, anger and embarrassment intertwined. "Chen Anhe, you're going too far! I just suggested we get together another day, why can't you even show a trace of gentlemanly demeanor?"
"I will only show my grace to those who deserve it. I am gentle and courteous to Miss Ye. As for you, I'm sorry, I don't think you are qualified to enjoy my grace." Chen Anhe's words were as cold as the wind, hitting Xu Xinyi's heart directly.
"In that case, I think we might not be suitable for each other, and there's no need to continue our relationship in the future."
Xu Xinyi's words were full of determination. After she finished speaking, she turned around and left, but Chen Anhe sneered:
"Okay, it seems that the cooperation between the Chen family and the Xu family has come to an end. There is no need to mention future cooperation matters."
These words were like a sharp dagger, piercing Xu Xinyi's soft spot with precision. She froze in place, staring at Chen Anhe with a fiery gaze, her face a complex expression that was difficult to discern.
However, thinking of the Xu family's current difficult situation, Xu Xinyi finally suppressed her anger and resentment: "I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, I'm not in a good mood today, and I may have lost my composure."
She sat back down, her tone apologetic.
Chen Anhe picked up the lighter on the table and flicked it lightly. A blue flame leaped up and he lit a cigarette. "If you had really decided to leave just now, I might still have some respect for you. But now that you've chosen to stay, my interest in you has completely disappeared."
After saying that, Chen Anhe put the lighter into his pocket and slowly stood up: "I'm giving you two choices now, either you leave now, or you come with me."
He smiled, holding a cigarette between his fingers, but he didn't light it immediately. He looked at Xu Xinyi with deep eyes: "I'll wait for you in the car, Miss Xu. You only have two minutes. My patience is limited."
After Chen Anhe finished speaking, he left the private room without looking back. He walked outside the restaurant and lit the cigarette in his hand. Night had quietly fallen, and the city's neon lights flickered in the night.
Chen Anhe sat in his flashy sports car, the light from his cigarette gleaming brightly in the darkness. He took a few puffs, his eyes flickering toward the restaurant's exit, as if waiting for something.
After a while, Xu Xinyi slowly walked out of the restaurant.
She stood at the door, her eyes piercing the night sky, looking in the direction of Chen Anhe. Chen Anhe was sitting in the car, holding an unburned cigarette between his fingers, his eyes calmly meeting hers.
Today's humiliation was already deep enough. If the Xu family and the Lin family were still as harmonious as before, Xu Xinyi might not hesitate to splash red wine on Chen Anhe's face when he said those words.
However, things are unpredictable. The Xu family and the Lin family have already broken up. Now the Xu family is like a small boat drifting in the wind and rain, isolated and helpless.
Although the Chen family has their eyes on the Xu family's interests, the Xu family needs to fight for how much of the pie they can get. However, some things cannot be achieved by hard work alone.
Xu Xinyi took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and slowly walked towards Chen Anhe's car.
