Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Sang Qianqian stopped in her tracks subconsciously. On the other hand, Ruan Xiaoshuang didn’t seem to notice yet.
“Qianqian, what’s wrong?”
“No, it’s nothing.”
Sang Qianqian coughed. “Oh, right. I forgot that Hanyu won’t be the only one having dinner with us.”
“Is the friend who is talking to President Shen here?”
Ruan Xiaoshuang was a little uneasy. “Will I affect them if I go over?”
“I won’t. Only they can affect us.”
Sang Qianqian glared at Shen Hanyu and silently expressed her reproach. Why did he call her brother and other people for dinner?
Shen Hanyu stood up and pulled out a chair for them. He explained with a smile, “I happened to run into your brother after the call.”
Sang Qianqian’s gaze swept over Sang Minglang and the woman beside him, and she could almost guess who this woman was.
This was the woman who looked eerily similar to Ruan Xiaoshuang who was hospitalized before after Sang Minglang saved her at a bar.
Despite knowing Ruan Xiaoshuang would come tonight, her brother actually brought this woman with him. What was he trying to do?
“Why are you here?”
Sang Qianqian didn’t have a good attitude toward her brother. She really wanted to ask him a lot of things. It was fine if he came, but why did he bring a woman along?
“Didn’t you say that you wanted me to find a girlfriend?”
Sang Minglang indifferently pointed at the woman beside him, “I just happened to bring your sister-in-law here to shop today, so I can introduce her to you.”
Zhang Xue revealed a beautiful smile and extended her hand toward Sang Qianqian. “You’re Qianqian, right? I’m Zhang Xue, I’ve been hearing about you from your brother, I’m so happy to finally meet you today…”
Sang Qianqian was shocked. Was her brother serious?
He actually got together with Zhang Xue?
Didn’t he say that it was impossible between them?
Moreover, wasn’t Zhang Xue in Guangdong City? Why was she in Beijing now?
However, Sang Qianqian couldn’t ask much at this moment. She could only smile and reach out to shake the woman’s hand.
“Minglang, this is?”
Zhang Xue looked at Ruan Xiaoshuang, who was standing quietly beside Sang Qianqian, and her eyes revealed a hint of surprise.
She looked very similar to Ruan Xiaoshuang, especially her eyes.
This was the first time Zhang Xue had seen someone who looked so similar to her.
“Ruan Xiaoshuang, a friend.”
Sang Minglang introduced them calmly. He smiled and looked at Ruan Xiaoshuang and Sang Qianqian, “Let’s sit and talk. You’ll get tired from standing for so long.”
Zhang Xue looked at Sang Minglang with a complicated expression, but she didn’t say anything more.
Sang Qianqian deliberately said, “Brother, are you sure you want to have dinner with us and not bring Sister-in-law to enjoy some alone time?”
“We have plenty of time in the future. As for you,”
Sang Minglang glanced at his younger sister, seeing through her thoughts with a single glance. “Why do you seem like you don’t want your brother and sister-in-law to be here?”
“How is that possible? I’m truly excited to see both of you here.”
Sang Qianqian had a smile on her face, but her words were not polite. “I just feel that it’s a little too casual for you to bring Sister-in-law here so suddenly. You should have picked a good day to properly bring her home. Brother, you’re a typical example of thoughtlessness.”
“I’m definitely planning to bring her home, but I happened to bump into you today, so I won’t miss the chance to introduce her now. Besides, do you think Xiaoxue is like you? She doesn’t mind about this at all.”
Sang Minglang’s casual words turned the spearhead back to Sang Qianqian.
Sang Qianqian smiled as she gritted her teeth. “Is that so? Then that would be the best. But Brother, you should have told me in advance tonight so that Sister Xiaoshuang and I could’ve been more prepared.”
“Why would you need to do that? You’re my sister, and Miss Ruan is an old friend. It’s just a meal.”
Sang Minglang turned to Ruan Xiaoshuang. “Miss Ruan doesn’t mind me coming here without telling you, right?”
Ruan Xiaoshuang’s long eyelashes fluttered as she said softly, “I don’t.”
“See, I didn’t say anything wrong, right?”
Sang Minglang said calmly, “Qianqian, why are you worrying so much now?”
Sang Qianqian was furious. Her brother had definitely done it on purpose today!
Seeing the undercurrent between the siblings, Shen Hanyu smiled and said, “Qianqian, Miss Zhang has ordered a few dishes just now. See what Miss Ruan likes to eat and order some more.”
Sang Qianqian glared at her brother, took the menu, and started to order.
Although she didn’t know why her brother had suddenly brought Zhang Xue to have a meal with her and Ruan Xiaoshuang, it was a good thing that the meal went relatively smoothly. Her brother didn’t do much. Other than a few words with Zhang Xue, he didn’t say anything else.
However, when Zhang Xue asked about Ruan Xiaoshuang’s eyes, she heard from Sang Qianqian that the surgery time had not been determined yet. The main thing was that the matching of the corneas would take time, but it would still take five to six months.
“It’s not like there’s no way to be faster.”
Sang Minglang interrupted casually, “If Miss Ruan is willing, I can help.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang rejected almost immediately. “No need.”
“Miss Ruan, you don’t have to be so polite. Didn’t you help me when I was hospitalized last year?”
Sang Minglang said indifferently, “I’ve never liked to owe favors. No matter what, I have to return it. Otherwise, I won’t be able to feel at ease.”
Sang Qianqian’s heart skipped a beat. She almost thought that her brother already knew that Ruan Xiaoshuang had donated her corneas for him.
Ruan Xiaoshuang’s face was also a little pale, and her slender fingers tightly gripped the corner of her clothes. “How is Mr. Sang planning to return the favor?”
“I’ll use my connections to find a suitable cornea transplant for you as soon as possible.”
Sang Minglang smiled. “I still have some connections in the capital, and I also have Hanyu’s relationship with the Zhen family. You wouldn’t need to wait for five or six months.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang’s clenched fingers loosened silently and she heaved a sigh of relief.
“Qianqian actually mentioned it before, but there are many patients waiting for a cornea transplant like me. It’s only normal to wait for a long time to go through with the surgery, so I don’t want to go through any special procedures. Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Sang.”
Her voice was gentle, but her attitude was firm.
Sang Minglang didn’t insist. “Since that’s the case, I’ll have to find another chance to repay Miss Ruan for what I owe her.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang said softly, “Mr. Sang was injured because of my brother, and I helped Mr. Sang to make up for it. Therefore, there’s no need to do anything more in return.”
She pursed her lips. “After all, the past is in the past. It’s been over a long time ago.”
The air was silent for a few seconds.
Sang Qianqian felt a little nervous for no reason. To be honest, her brother had been unusually quiet recently. He should have returned to Yuecheng, but he hadn’t, which made her feel uneasy.
She was afraid that her brother would say something inappropriate. Fortunately, her brother only shrugged. “Alright, if that’s what Miss Ruan wishes.”
“Brother, don’t worry. I’ll be handling Sister Xiaoshuang’s eyes.”
Sang Qianqian’s anxious heart finally calmed down. She hurriedly said, “I will definitely let her see the world again.”
Sang Minglang nodded. The atmosphere at the dining table seemed to have returned to normal.
At the end of the meal. Sang Minglang suddenly said, “Hanyu, didn’t you say that you were going to watch a movie with my sister? It just so happens that Xiaoxue wants to go back home early. Miss Ruan, our destination happens to pass by your house, so let us send you home..”
