Chapter 132 - 132: Brother, You Have a Girlfriend?

As soon as Nan Ge got out of the car, she saw Cheng Xia waiting for her at the door.

“Xiaxia, how’s Su Hui?” Nan Ge jogged over. “She’s singing with Yuanyuan. She looks normal for now.”

However, no one knew if she would keep up later.

They all understood that with Su Hui’s personality… it was unlikely for her to continue acting normal.

As soon as she finished speaking, Cheng Xia saw the man behind Nan Ge. She had seen Shen Yanqing’s photo on the official website before and recognized him at a glance.

“Hello, President Shen.”

“Hello.” Shen Yanqing nodded. “Go in. It’s cold outside.”

Then, he looked at Nan Ge. “Remember to send me a message when it’s almost over. I’ll pick you up.”

“Okay.” Nan Ge waved at him. “I’m going in. Go back quickly.”

Shen Yanqing stood rooted to the ground. After watching her disappear, he sized up the signboard in front of him and made a call.

“Oh my, Shen. I wasn’t expecting you at all. Why did you call me?”

Faced with his good friend’s teasing, Shen Yanqing smiled helplessly. “My call might usually come as a surprise, but didn’t we just eat together the day before yesterday?”

“Hahahaha, that’s true.”

At this time, Shen Yanqing must have called for something serious. The other party did not continue to talk nonsense and asked him what he wanted. “Do you have a karaoke branch in the university town?”

“That’s right. Are you going to sing? I didn’t know you were into singing.

Should I help you arrange it now?”

“It’s not about me, but I do need to trouble you. My girlfriend is at the university town tonight.”

The person on the other end of the line was silent for a moment. Then, as if he had suddenly changed to a quiet place, he asked softly, “Girlfriend? Yours?”

“Yeah.”

“No way, Shen. It’s only been two days since we last met, and you’re already in a relationship? Isn’t this a little too fast?”

“Of course, we didn’t just start dating recently.” Shen Yanqing explained briefly. There was a gasp from the other end.

“I’m just dating. Do you have to be so surprised?”

“Tsk. It might not sound so exciting when others are dating, but if it’s you…

When are you free? Can I get to see her?”

“When I’m free.”

“Okay, okay, okay. Oh right, does your old man know about this?”

“I haven’t mentioned it to them.”

“No wonder,” the other party muttered softly.

Shen Yanqing did not understand. “Huh?”

“I heard that your family wants to introduce you to a girlfriend. Everyone in the circle is saying that your family has taken a fancy to someone from the Ruan family. No wonder. If they knew you already have a girlfriend, why would they still try to matchmake you?”

The two of them had been good friends for many years and had grown up together. Naturally, he supported Shen Yanqing fully.

“If you don’t know about this, you should hurry up and go back to ask. Don’t let your girl only find out later. When women get jealous, they’re completely unreasonable. It’s your first time in a relationship, so you have to be more careful. Otherwise, when your future wife runs away, you won’t know where to cry.”

Shen Yanqing frowned and listened seriously. “I understand. Thank you.”

“Then I’ll have to trouble you to get someone to help me keep an eye on them. Remember to contact me if anything happens. If it’s over, remember to contact me too.”

“Alright. I run a clean establishment anyway and it’s pretty safe. Don’t worry.”

Seeing Shen Yanqing return, Gao quickly got up and helped him open the backseat door.

“It’s getting late. You should go back and rest.”

“Sure.” Gao closed the backseat door and handed him the car keys.

After Gao left, Shen Yanqing returned to the car. He was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he called his father.

The light from the billboard diagonally in front of him shone on his jacket through the windshield. The man lowered his head, took off his glasses, and placed them aside. He pinched the bridge of his nose with his long fingers, looking a little tired.

The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up.

The man’s thin lips moved slightly, but the other party spoke first.

“Yanqing?”

It was a female voice, and it was not unfamiliar.

“Uh, your father just took some medicine and went to bed. Is there something urgent? Should I wake him up?”

“There’s no need for that. Let him rest.”

“Sure. I’ll get your father to call you back tomorrow morning when he gets up.

Is that okay?”

“Alright, sorry to trouble you.”

The other party was flattered. “It’s no trouble at all. We’re family, so it’s no trouble at all.” “Okay, I’ll hang up first.”

“Okay, okay, okay.”

Shen Yanqing hung up first. He had nothing to talk to his stepmother about.

Taking a deep breath, he loosened his tie and called his younger cousin.

His uncle was not in Huai City, but his cousin was studying here. He usually went to his father’s place more often than him. He should know something.

His younger cousin answered the call quickly. The phone rang for less than two seconds before it went through. “Big Brother!”

He sounded quite excited.

“Well, can you talk now?”

“Yes, yes! Please go ahead, Big Brother!”

“When was the last time you went to the old residence for dinner?”

“Ah… Let me think. Hmmm. Just last week, I think? I went once before school started. I’m a little busy this week. I haven’t gone to see Uncle yet.” “When you went over last time, did you hear anyone mention the Ruan family?”

“Oh, oh. Are you talking about the matchmaking candidate from the Ruan family?”

“…I didn’t know about this, and I didn’t agree.” In other words, it was the Ruan family he was asking about, but he did not agree on a blind date.

“I don’t know about that. Anyway, I heard Third Uncle and the others mention this over the New Year, but you weren’t around. When I went over last week, I heard from them that the Ruan family really wanted to meet you. I think they really like you a lot.”

“As for the rest, you might as well ask Uncle.” “He’s resting, so I can only look for you.”

“I see.”

The younger cousin thought about it again and said, “During the New Year, Uncle said that he wouldn’t interfere in your matters. However, the Ruan family came to visit Uncle after the New Year and even came bearing gifts. Uncle probably couldn’t refuse them since they came personally to talk about it. You know Uncle. He always has difficulty turning others down.”

“Big Brother, just go and meet her. It’s just a meal. You can reject her when the time comes.”

He felt that his brother would go over even without him saying anything.

According to his brother’s personality, even if he rejected her, he had to give her enough face and not embarrass her.

Shen Yanqing pursed his lips and said seriously, “If I go, how am I going to explain it to my girlfriend when I come back?”

“What do you mean by explaining? Just hide it. It’s not a big deal. It’s not like you’re cheating, right? Just give her some… Eh? Wait, girlfriend???”

Then, Shen Yanqing heard the same sort of exclamation he got from his good friend a few minutes ago.. “Damn, Brother, you have a girlfriend?!”
