Chapter 98 - Long Time No See
The shop had two floors, and the design of the shop was also very attractive. There were bridges and water downstairs, and foreign scenery upstairs. The theme was relaxing, Nothing too complicated.
However, since the name of the shop was called ‘Girlfriends.’ Of course, most of the visitors would be females.
Tang Xin was sitting on the second floor near the stairs, looking at Xia Zhixing, who was very busy downstairs. Seeing every table of guests in the shop gave out thoughtful expressions in their chat, sharing their feelings. She never thought she could be so happy one day.
For her, to be as free as she was now, and not to be burdened with gossip, was happiness.
“Xinxin, someone is looking for you outside!”
In a flash, Xia Zhixing, who had been working downstairs, came to her.
Xia Zhixing liked jeans and T-shirts very much. Her face was full of youth. One couldn’t imagine that she was already a 26-year-old woman.
“Who would be looking for me?” Tang Xin got up and quickly stepped out to the balcony, specially designed for the look of the building. Looking down, the car parked in front of the shop rolled down its window, and the person in the car waved to her.
Seeing Tang Xin’s face changed, Xia Zhixing looked down and worried, “Do you want me to drive him away?”
“No, he’s my second brother.” Tang Xin looked back and smiled.
“What! He is the man who made use of you to benefit his company! ”
Xia Zhixing did not know the story in detail, but to her, hurting her best friend meant hurting her. What’s more, that person was still the most trusted person of her best friend. The worst thing was that he took advantage of her weakness, the fact that she yearned for affection.
“No way! I’ll get rid of him now! You shouldn’t meet him. There’s Nothing good from meeting with this kind of person! ” Xia Zhixing held Tang Xin’s hand and said with indignation.
Tang Xin’s depressed mood suddenly disappeared because of Xia Zhixing’s anger towards her injustice. She smiled and hugged her. “Xingxing, thank you for being so kind to me.”
“Of course, we’re already best friends forever. We even have this shop together! Who else would I care about if not you!” Xia Zhixing pointed at the shop and said proudly.
“You are also my best friend forever! But, I should still face my past; otherwise, my mind won’t be at ease. Rest assured, I am prepared to face him.” She was ready to face the family member that betrayed her complete trust.
Xia Zhixing accompanied Tang Xin downstairs all the way to see her go out to meet the man. What she worried about was that Tang Xin would be too soft-hearted, walking into another trap.
“Second Brother, long time no see.” Tang Xin greeted Tang Lingfeng, expressionless.
Her calmness took Tang Lingfeng aback.
“Yes, long time no see. Xinxin, shall we find a place to sit down and have a good chat? ”
“I’m sorry, Second Brother. I’m very busy. What can I do for you?” Tang Xin smiled and refused.
Tang Lingfeng noticed that Tang Xin was not as easy to coax as she used to be. Although she was still calling him “Second Brother,” she seemed less sincere and colder.
“Nothing special. I just want to see if you are doing alright. Xinxin, how have you been doing? ” He felt sorry for her, especially when he heard that she had gone insane because of him.
“Thanks to Second Brother, I am doing fine.” Tang Xin said with a smile.
“Xinxin, you are blaming me, I know you are. But if I did not do that, Tang’s share prices would plummet. You understand what I had to do, right?” Tang Lingfeng still wanted to soften her attitude by adopting a sympathetic approach.
