Chapter 449 - Nothing to Explain
“Ningning, I witnessed this man abandon a woman at a café today!” Cao Wenxin said in anger, glaring at Xin Bei like he was an evil criminal.
“You don’t know the situation so stop attacking me!” Xin Bei said.
“I’m not attacking you. I heard it with my own ears!” Cao Wenxin retorted.
Although Xu Jinchen and the others all knew the truth, none of them helped Xin Bei explain it, they stood aside watching the drama.
Seeing Xin Bei being so aggrieved, Gu Ning understood that Cao Wenxin must have misunderstood something. “I think that there must be some misunderstanding. Please give him a chance to explain,” Gu Ning said. “I refuse to explain to this crazy woman!” Xin Bei rejected.
Hearing what Gu Ning had just said, Cao Wenxin thought that maybe she was wrong, but when Xin Bei refused to explain the situation to her, Cao Wenxin was irritated again. “You’re a terrible man!”
“You…” Xin Bei was furious. “I won’t argue with you any longer for Gu Ning’s sake.”
Gu Ning pulled Cao Wenxin to sit at the table. She was a little worried that Cao Wenxin might leave a bad impression on Xu Jinchen because of the quarrel. However, nobody thought that Cao Wenxin was rude. Instead, they liked her because she was a helpful girl, although she had a short temper.
“Please let me introduce you. This is my friend, Cao Wenxin,” Gu Ning said to them.
“Nice to meet you!”
Everyone except for Xin Bei, greeted Cao Wenxin kindly.
“Nice to meet you all!” Cao Wenxin smiled.
Gu Ning then turned to Cao Wenxin. “This is Chen Meng, Si Ming, Xu Jinchen, his younger sister Xu Qinyin, and this is Xin Bei. They’re all older than
you.”
Cao Wenxin didn’t know which man Gu Ning planned to introduce to her, and she didn’t bother to ask, because she had no intention to impress the man on purpose. If they were truly meant to be together, they would be together in the end. And other than Xin Bei, Cao Wenxin had a great impression of the rest of the people.
“What do you want to have? Ladies first!” Xu Jinchen gave the three menus to the three girls. They also didn’t hesitate to order their favorite dishes.
Xu Jinchen told the waiters to leave after they poured cups of tea, because it wasn’t comfortable for him to talk with his friends with outsiders in the room.
“Well, Miss Cao, actually, you did misunderstand Xin Bei. It isn’t what you think…” Xu Jinchen tried to explain for Xin Bei. Although they enjoyed watching the drama, they didn’t want to leave a bad impression on Gu Ning’s friend. However, before he could finish, Xin Bei interrupted him. “There is nothing to explain. Is it important?”
“I just want to leave a good impression on Gu Ning’s friend,” Xu Jinchen said.
“Since when do you care so much about others’ opinions?” Xin Bei frowned, staring at Xu Jinchen. Apparently, he was displeased that Xu Jinchen didn’t stand by his side.
“Fine, forget it.” Xu Jinchen understood that Xin Bei was displeased, so he didn’t continue.
“Don’t worry. I like you all very much, and I won’t have a low opinion of you just because of a certain man,” Cao Wenxin said. Obviously, she was picking on Xin Bei.
“You’re a crazy woman!” Xin Bei thought that Cao Wenxin was as annoying as Yu Wenjing.
“You’re a terrible man!” Cao Wenxin said. Even though she realized that there must have been some misunderstanding, she disliked Xin Bei’s attitude.
“You…”
“Alright. Stop arguing with a girl. Be a man.” Finally, Leng Shaoting opened his mouth and ended the argument between them.
“I think my brother-in-law is a real man!” Cao Wenxin complimented, and gave Xin Bei a provoking smile.
Leng Shaoting loved it when Cao Wenxin called him brother-in-law, and unconsciously stood by Cao Wenxin’s side. Seeing that, Gu Ning didn’t know what to say, because she didn’t understand why Leng Shaoting would be so happy to hear Cao Wenxin call him brother-in-law.
It was very important in Leng Shaoting’s eyes, because Cao Wenxin was Gu Ning’s family now, and he wanted to gain approval from all the people that Gu Ning cared about.
The dishes were placed on the table soon. They were eating while chatting casually. Weirdly, when Cao Wenxin talked with others, Xin Bei would be silent, and vice versa. The two were behaving like children who wouldn’t talk to each other.
After the meal, Xu Jinchen asked, “So, where are we going next?”
“What’s your opinion?” Leng Shaoting asked Gu Ning.
“I have no idea. You can make the decision.” Gu Ning said.
“Why don’t we go to Coastline Clubhouse? There are many activities.” Si Ming proposed.
Coastline Clubhouse was a high-end entertainment place, including a bar, KTV rooms, a gym, cue sports, wine-tasting, games and so forth, but no casino. This was the capital, and casinos weren’t allowed to open here. They didn’t like noisy places either, so no one disagreed to adjourn to Coastline Clubhouse.
After that, the group of them drove to Coastline Clubhouse, and Cao Wenxin sat with Gu Ning in Leng Shaoting’s car.
“I think that you dislike Xin Bei a lot,” Gu Ning teased.
Cao Wenxin pulled her lips and said, “In the beginning, yes. However, after I found out that it was just a misunderstanding, I don’t hate him anymore. I just dislike his attitude.”
“The woman dumped him because he had nothing before, and now that he is successful she won’t stay away from him,” Leng Shaoting said.
Hearing that, Cao Wenxin suddenly had sympathy for Xin Bei, but she didn’t say anything.
Before long, they arrived at Coastline Clubhouse. Xu Jinchen ordered the largest, luxurious private room with all the activities inside.
Si Ming couldn’t wait to take a cue stick when he entered the private room. “Xin Bei, let’s have a round!”
Xin Bei took another cue stick and said, “Game on!” He was in a bad mood now, and would love to vent his anger.
The three girls gathered together, and Xu Qinyin asked them, “What do you want to play?”
