Chapter 23: The Scam is Finally Exposed

  Ning Meng and Yang Ming were still standing at the exit to see off the guests, a line of people filed out, with An Zhen Nan and his daughter walking at the end.

  An Xue nodded at them and said, "You two have worked hard."

  "It's too kind of you." "Miss An, slow down." Both said in unison.

  An Xue took a few steps forward, suddenly stopped, her long hair swung back over half of her head, and the expression in her eyes was unclear. Suddenly, she smiled lightly, "Yang Ming, you're more careless than I imagined. You should take good care of your girlfriend and let her rest well at home..."

  Ning Meng's eyes drooped, and a suspicious flush rose to her face. Yang Ming, however, smiled calmly with his lips curled up, "Thank you for your concern, Miss An, Ning Meng is already fine..."

  She thought resentfully, it was all because of this stinky brat that she had lost her innocence, what a loss! Hum, next time those three silk bags must be used to extort him properly, make him unable to smile.

  The atmosphere was strange at the time, but Guan Xian suddenly turned around to look at them, his expression calm and peaceful, saying, "What's wrong, An Xue? Do you know these two?"

  "Yes, after all, we're friends..." An Xue leaned in and hooked her arm around his, smiling sweetly with a hint of playfulness, "Xian Ge, you can't neglect your subordinates, they've been working hard for half the day, why not let them go eat together?"

  "Really...?" Jian Xian raised an eyebrow and smiled, saying "Since An Xue has spoken up, I'll have to make a special exception." He waved his hand at the two people behind him and said, "You two wrap things up, let's go eat together..."

  “Don’t bother……” Ning Meng raised her head, wanting to refuse, but Guan Xuan's long legs had already taken a step forward, and he was several meters away. An Xue smiled triumphantly at her, the expression on his face seeming to say "see where you can run". Immediately after, high heels clicked on the ground, a short sprint, and caught up with the tall figure in front.

  Yang Ming had booked a private room in the hotel next door early on, with three tables full of food. Guan Xian accompanied An Zong to sit at the main table, and An Xue was also at that table.

  She glanced around and saw a table in the corner with several middle-aged people, who seemed to be the most unremarkable. She quickly pulled him by the arm towards the inside, where six or seven people were seated at a table, including people from both companies. Everyone was engaged in small talk, so she hastily found two empty seats and sat down.

  "What are you hiding? What's there to hide?" Yang Ming leaned over and asked in a low voice.

  "Miss An kept staring at me with that look, as if she wanted to swallow me whole. I'm afraid of indigestion." Ning Meng glared at him with a bad temper and slowly spat out a sentence, "You know the answer... it's all because of you."

  "As for that......" Yang Ming sneered.

  The dishes were served quickly, one after another, all her favorite private dishes, very exquisite. Ning Meng had been busy for a day and a half, already starving, and couldn't care about maintaining any image, hurriedly finding something to serve her own stomach.

  Yang Ming handed her a small bowl of soup, "Come on, Ning Meng, this soup is nourishing, try it." The overly gentle tone was like coaxing a child, and she almost couldn't bear to live.

  Ning Meng took it over with a huff, her mouth full of food, and muttered, "No need, no need, just take care of yourself."

  Next to him, Manager Cai of Anyang Group smiled and said with a smirk, "I didn't expect Little Yang to be so thoughtful, this girlfriend is lucky."

  Ning Meng's face changed, and she quickly waved her hand to explain, "Manager Cai, you misunderstood. We are just colleagues, not boyfriend and girlfriend."

  "My god, it's like I've run into a ghost, it seems like no matter where I go, I'm always getting entangled with this kid."

  Manager Cai smiled, and the people at the table followed with a chuckle. The two tables next to them cast over curious glances. Ning Meng felt several cold gazes from the main table scanning over, and she shivered, quickly lowering her head.

  The rest of the meal was tasteless and insipid.

  Because it was noon, everyone didn't drink wine, just eating working meal, quick battle. When the meeting was over, the others had dispersed, Ning Meng and Yang Ming paid the bill, signed to confirm, and then walked out of the elevator. There were two tall figures standing at the door, An Zong was waiting for a car, Guan Xian stood beside him chatting with him.

  "Xianzi, this weekend is Anqi's 26th birthday. You must come and have some fun when you arrive, and feel free to bring some friends along. After all, young people love excitement. When you were kids, you often played together in a big courtyard. Now that you're grown up, you're always busy running around, and it's hard to get together. Let's take this opportunity to catch up with each other."

  The words are spoken kindly, but when heard by Ning Meng, they can't help but feel that An Zong's intention is not in the wine. Could it be that he's planning to send them to their graves? Hehe...it's possible.

  "That's right. Angie studied in Beijing a few years ago, then went to the United States, and came back half a year ago, it's hard for her, she is so studious, smart and capable." Guan Xian politely replied, seemingly just being courteous.

  An Zong's eyebrows relaxed, seemingly very happy.

  The atmosphere over there is relaxed, but it's eerily tense here.
