Chapter 498: Chapter 498: A Bit Hostile
"You say you, finally agreeing to go on a blind date, and yet you still can’t control your emotions. Just a casual call from that guy throws your heart into disarray? What are you even doing?"
It was evident that Liang Lanfei was completely dissatisfied with Wei Can’s behavior this time.
"I don’t care, once Xiao Yifei arrives, just tell him to get lost, did you hear?"
Liang Lanfei sternly said to Wei Can, "We still need a designer for the house, does he really think he can afford a decent house in Yanjing? He must be trying to get familiar with you to snag some free labor, huh, dream on!"
Liang Lanfei let out a cold snort.
"Lanfei, don’t say that, the apartment in Jinghang Garden is Xiao Yifei’s too, right? Although we haven’t visited, it doesn’t mean he can’t afford houses!"
Wei Can raised her head and said to Liang Lanfei.
"Humph!"
Liang Lanfei rolled her eyes and paid no attention.
The man sitting opposite Liang Lanfei and Wei Can looked puzzled as he witnessed the scene unfolding before him.
"It’s nothing, it’s nothing! Carry on! Just a minor issue, not a big deal, it’s already dealt with!"
Liang Lanfei said to the man with a smile.
"Alright then, I’ll continue introducing myself."
The man smiled, his handsome face exuding a gentlemanly aura, "As I mentioned earlier, my name is Zhou Wenjie, and I’m a mid-level executive in a public company, with an annual salary of roughly one million."
"I own two apartments in Yanjing, and a car."
Although Zhou Wenjie didn’t show much emotion while saying this, the slight hint of arrogance in his eyes clearly conveyed his sense of superiority.
"Even though all these are material possessions, I feel I should mention them, because even if they are external to one’s self, they are still essentials for life, and prove that if we are together, I can provide you happiness."
Zhou Wenjie paused here, seemingly waiting for Wei Can’s admiring eyes, but he was disappointed, as Wei Can was distracted and hardly paying attention to Zhou Wenjie’s words.
Seeing this, Zhou Wenjie slightly frowned. He coughed softly, raising his head and smiling at Wei Can, "I’m not sure what you think of me, but I have a good impression of you, and think we could possibly develop this further."
Hearing Zhou Wenjie’s words, Liang Lanfei raised her head and glanced at Wei Can, seeming to imply how outstanding the match she found for Wei Can was.
Yet, the unsettled Wei Can just sat numbly on the sofa, with no response.
Zhou Wenjie was taken aback by this and kept his mild smile while watching Wei Can, waiting for her response.
Liang Lanfei, seeing this, frowned and reached out to tap Wei Can.
"Cancan! What’s the matter, Zhou Wen is talking to you!"
Only then did Wei Can snap out of it, she looked dazedly at Zhou Wenjie and said, "Ah? What did you say?"
Zhou Wenjie, seeing Wei Can in this state, flashed a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes without leaving a mark, but he still continued in a refined manner to Wei Man, "I was saying that we could..."
Just as Zhou Wenjie began to speak, he was suddenly interrupted by a voice.
"Wei Can! You’re here, you didn’t tell me exactly where in Beidao Coffee, I’ve been looking for you for ages."
Xiao Yifei wore a faint smile as he walked up behind Wei Can, touching his own nose and smiling at her.
Xiao Yifei’s sudden appearance made Zhou Wenjie freeze, he raised his head slightly frowning at Xiao Yifei, unsure of why this man had suddenly shown up.
As Xiao Yifei appeared, Wei Can’s previously indifferent demeanor vanished instantly. Her hand trembled slightly as she held her coffee, causing some of it to spill.
When Liang Lanfei saw Xiao Yifei appear, her eyes filled with dissatisfaction. She turned and glared fiercely at Wei Can, remembering that she had just told Wei Can to directly send Xiao Yifei away the moment he showed up.
"Xiao... Xiao Yifei, you’re here."
Unexpectedly, Wei Can not only didn’t ask Xiao Yifei to leave but also greeted him somewhat awkwardly and appeared somewhat frightened.
"I knew I couldn’t rely on you!"
Liang Lanfei glared at Wei Can then turned to Xiao Yifei and said coldly, "What are you doing here? Can’t you see we’re busy? Whatever it is, tell us later, don’t be in the way!"
"Lanfei! How can you talk like that! It wasn’t easy for Xiao Yifei to come all this way to see me, be nicer to him!"
Wei Can, who had been full of indecision, switched sides the moment she saw Xiao Yifei.
"Cancan!"
Liang Lanfei stared at Wei Can, disbelief in her eyes.
Seeing Liang Lanfei’s expression, Wei Can couldn’t help but lower her head.
"Ahaha, you must be Wei Can’s friend, right? Come, come, sit down, it’s alright."
Seeing this scene, Zhou Wenjie’s eyes gleamed. He smiled at Xiao Yifei and then made room for him.
It wasn’t until then that Xiao Yifei realized something was slightly off. He scratched his head awkwardly and sat down next to Zhou Wenjie.
Seeing how things were unfolding, Liang Lanfei’s eyes bulged with anger. Since Wei Can was so ungrateful, she was tired of speaking up for Wei Can. It infuriated her that Wei Can would disregard quality individuals like Zhou Wenjie and instead, set her heart on the younger Xiao Yifei.
Furthermore, if Xiao Yifei had been nice to Wei Can, that would have been another matter, but Xiao Yifei’s attitude towards Wei Can was cold. He only thought of Wei Can when he needed something, and that infuriated Liang Lanfei.
"Hmph, I’m done dealing with you! You figure out how to handle this situation yourself!"
Misunderstanding Xiao Yifei, Liang Lanfei once again began to view him with hostility.
Xiao Yifei sat at the table awkwardly, unsure of what to do. Although Liang Lanfei claimed she wouldn’t help Wei Can anymore, her gaze had been fiercely fixed on Xiao Yifei from the start until now.
If Liang Lanfei was staring intensely at Xiao Yifei, then Wei Can was sneaking glances at Zhu An. She was distracted, and whenever she had the chance, her gaze stealthily shifted towards Xiao Yifei.
Meanwhile, Zhou Wenjie maintained his gentlemanly demeanor, trying to engage Wei Can in conversation. He struggled to find topics to talk about, not because his topics were terrible, but because Wei Can wasn’t listening to him at all.
Zhou Wenjie followed Wei Can’s secretive gaze and finally realized who she was looking at; not only Wei Can but even Liang Lanfei had been staring intently at that young man who had just arrived.
Zhou Wenjie suddenly frowned, feeling that this man was perhaps more than just a friend.
"Hey! Friend, would you like something to drink?"
Zhou Wenjie didn’t immediately reveal his thoughts. He smartly turned, smiled at Xiao Yifei, and spoke.
At that moment, the awkward Xiao Yifei was already thinking about whether he should temporarily slip away, since he had truly realized that the current environment wasn’t right for him. Hearing Zhou Wenjie’s words, Xiao Yifei was taken aback and then quickly waved his hands, "No drink for me, I don’t really like coffee; it’s just too bitter."
"A glass of water then! Thanks!"
Zhou Wenjie saw Xiao Yifei’s reaction and snapped his fingers at the waiter, speaking directly.
He wanted to keep all initiative in his hands, since the way Wei Can and Liang Lanfei had been looking let him know that this young man sitting beside him had some competitive edge.
