At seven oâclock, the sky was already dark. Meng Si waited for a long time in the largest private room of the Red Gate Restaurant, but Tan Rou didnât come. She waited for another hour and ate two plates of snacks, but Tan Rou still did not appear.
âWhat happened?â Meng Si couldnât wait any longer. She paced around the room and kept asking her assistant where Tan Rou was. âGo outside and see if Tan Rou is here.â
âMiss,â the assistant replied helplessly, âYou ask me to go out every three minutes. Iâve already checked dozens of times. Tan Rou didnât show up. Maybe she wonât come.â
Meng Si refused to give up. âIâve prepared so many things. How can she not come? Give her another call. I donât believe that she wonât pick up.â
Ever since Meng Si had called Tan Rou in the morning, she had been unable to get through. Either no one picked up, or the call was hung up after it rang.
âMiss, Iâve already called five different numbers, but no one picked up. She might really not dare to come.â The assistant didnât want to wait here any longer. It was Saturday today, and she should be resting. In the end, she was dragged here by her boss to work overtime. Just thinking about it made her very angry.
âThen keep calling. If you canât even get her on the line, then why do I still need you for?â Meng Si was about to die from anger. The time she agreed to meet Tan Rou was 7 pm. It was already past 8 pm, and Tan Rou was still not here. Was she going to wait here until 12 pm?
At about 8:30pm, the person Meng Si had arranged downstairs finally sent her a message, saying that Tan Rou had come in.
Meng Si was very excited. She hurriedly instructed her assistant, âHurry up and confirm where Zhuang Liu is!â
If it wasnât for Meng Siâs relatively high salary, the assistant wouldnât have wanted to do this job at all. Meng Si was simply too annoying. Not only did she go to Zhuang Liuâs company every day to harass him, but she also sent people to always keep an eye on his company. As long as Zhuang Liu arrived at the company, Meng Siâs people would simultaneously send the information to her. They were the ones who did all this work.
âMiss, CEO Zhuang hasnât gone out since he went to the office in the afternoon. Moreover, the light in his office has been on, so heâs still in the office.â the assistant said.
Meng Si was delighted. âAs long as Zhuang Liu doesnât come, Tan Rou will die!â âMiss, didnât you say that you would just teach Tan Rou a lesson?â The assistant was a little troubled. âWhy did you want her to die?â
If Tan Rou died here, she could not escape responsibility. Furthermore, Meng Siâs identity was different from hers. If Meng Si insisted that she was the one who killed the person, then she would be dead meat.
Meng Si rolled her eyes at her. âIâm just making an analogy. I didnât say that 1 had to kill her. I know that murder is against the law.â
The assistant heaved a sigh of relief. âAlright, Miss.â
Meng Si took out her makeup bag and started to touch up her makeup. She had to be prettier than Tan Rou. It was so hot outside. Tan Ronâs makeup must have smudged.
However, Tan Rou did not put on makeup. She had already wiped off the lipstick she had put on today. In the afternoon, she had used ice to reduce the swelling on her lips. Now, there were no traces left.
â999? She really knows how to pick a room number.â After Tan Rou found the room number, she opened the door and entered.
Meng Si had already touched up her makeup. She sat by the window and put on an arrogant posture. âDidnât the Tao family teach you any manners?â
Tan Rou pulled out a chair and sat opposite Meng Si. âWhat manners?â
Meng Si felt that Tan Rou was too vulgar. How could such a vulgar person be worthy of Zhuang Liu?
âThe rules of being punctual!â Meng Si said mockingly, âYouâre indeed a wild girl from a small place. You donât know the rules at all. I told you to come at 7:00, but you dragged it out until 8:30. Donât you know the time?â
Tan Rou did not seem to mind at all. âMiss Meng, you donât seem to know the rules of inviting people too. People usually invite guests a few days in advance. Youâre treating me to dinner tonight and only informed me this morning. Arenât you afraid that I wonât have time?â
Meng Si wanted to catch her off guard. If she had asked Tan Rou to come earlier, Tan Rou would definitely have been prepared. She would only have time to prepare if she had asked her to come over at the last minute.
âItâs your honor that 1 invited you over for dinner!â Meng Si didnât even look at Tan Rou. She wouldnât want to waste her time having this meal if it wasnât for Zhuang Liu..
