within Temptation

Chapter 116 Dinner
When I got into Tang Xiaoru's car, I fastened my seat belt and asked, "Mr. Tang, what's the dinner tonight? Is it an important customer of our company?"

Tang Xiaoru just smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll know when you get there." As she spoke, she started the engine and drove the car slowly onto the road.

Not long after, I saw a car driving up Xiaguan Bridge, and it seemed that the place to eat must be in the east of the city.At this time Tang Xiaoru suddenly said: "I heard that you took the risk to climb the window on the fourth floor last night in order to find Zhang Wen's sister?"

I knew that Tang Xiaoru must have heard about what happened last night from Zhang Wen, so she hummed and said, "At that time, I thought sister Zhang Wen was at home, but she couldn't open the door for some reason. So, I had to take a risk Fortunately, my guess was wrong, otherwise, even if I went in at that time, I'm afraid it would be too late, right?"

Tang Xiaoru said: "Do you suspect that Zhang Wen's sister can't think of committing suicide at home? It's just a divorce. Is it so serious?"

I pondered for a while, and felt that there was no need to hide anything now.He said: "You don't know, when Zhang Wen's sister found out that her husband was having an affair, I happened to meet her. At that time, she was overwhelmed with grief and lost all thoughts. When crossing the road, she consciously slowed down, hoping that the passing vehicles would hit her. It's a good time to die. If I hadn't rushed over to push her, maybe she would have died already. Since she once had the thought of dying, how can I not worry that she will try to die a second time? "

Tang Xiaoru didn't seem to know about it yet, and said in surprise, "Really? Are you sure Zhang Yun wants to commit suicide?"

I nodded and said: "Sure, because after I rescued her, she still said why she didn't let her die. Because of this, in order to prevent her from doing stupid things, I stayed with her until midnight that night. Later She said she had figured it out and would not seek death again, so I left with peace of mind."

Tang Xiaoru said: "In this case, why haven't you told me and Zhang Wen about this? After we know about it, at least we can go to care and comfort her earlier, so we won't be caught off guard like yesterday, right?"

I smiled wryly and said, "I can't tell, because I promised Zhang Yun not to tell anyone else about it. If she couldn't get in touch suddenly last night, maybe I'm still keeping this secret for her now."

Tang Xiaoru was silent for a while, then sighed softly, and said: "It's true, Zhang Yun's character is very stubborn. I really don't want this to be known by everyone. Back then, everyone in her family opposed her marrying her husband. It is because of her temper that she insists on going her own way, and she does not hesitate to fall out with her parents to stay with him. Now that she finds out that she is wrong, and the pain of repenting at the beginning, it is no wonder that she would think of committing suicide and hiding it!"

I said: "Yeah, because of this, I was worried last night that she could not think about it again. I searched everywhere but couldn't find her, so I had to climb the window to take a look. What if she committed suicide at home If you find out earlier, you may be able to send it to the hospital in time for emergency treatment."

Tang Xiaoru turned her head and took a deep look at me, then smiled suddenly, and said, "No wonder Zhang Yun called me today and insisted that I find a way to invite you to her home for dinner, so you are her lifesaver ?”

I was taken aback and shouted, "What? You...you mean..."

Tang Xiaoru had already laughed out loud, nodded her head and said, "Yes, tonight's dinner is at Zhang Yun's home. Zhang Yun said that she invited you today, but you refused. I'm your boss, so Please let me come forward and invite you again."

At this time, the car had already passed Xiaguan Bridge, turned a corner, and headed towards Zhang Yun's residential area.I didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Mr. Tang, do I think I was tricked by you?"

Tang Xiaoru smiled and said, "No, this is indeed a dinner party, but the host mainly invites you. You are so reluctant to go, are you afraid that Zhang Wen will also be there?"

I had no choice but to be speechless, this Tang Xiaoru, who knew the reason, why did she trick me here?Seeing Zhang Wen, my arm might be abused again.

While speaking, Tang Xiaoru had already driven into the community where Zhang Yun lived. After parking the car, I had no choice but to get down.So far, even if I don't want to, I can only go to this dinner.Tang Xiaoru is my boss, so I have to give her face.As for Zhang Wen, alas, at worst, she will be abused again.Besides, in front of her sister and Tang Xiaoru, I don't think Zhang Wen would dare to retaliate against me in public.After eating, I left quickly, resolutely not giving her a chance to abuse me.

I went to the fourth floor with Tang Xiaoru, and after ringing the doorbell, the door opened within three seconds.Zhang Yun stood at the door with a smile on her face. When she saw me, she couldn't help but said, "Mr. Dai, are you really here? Please come in quickly. The dishes are ready, and you can sit right away."

I smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, you are so polite. I haven't done anything for you, so why do you have to thank me?"

"Why don't you thank me? You saved my life. Come in, I must have a few more drinks tonight!"

"Huh? Still want to drink?"

After walking in, Tang Xiaoru smiled and said, "Sister Yun, where is Wenwen?"

After Zhang Yun arranged for me to sit down, she hurried to serve me tea and water.One side said: "Wenwen hasn't come yet, but I have already called her to urge her, and she said she will be there in a while. Xiaoru, you still have a lot of face. I asked Mr. Dai and he didn't come. Once you invite him, he will come." Only willing to come."

Tang Xiaoru smiled and said: "Actually, Dai Yong was tricked by me. I deliberately asked him to accompany me to a dinner, and gave him the illusion that he was going to the company's business banquet. Otherwise, I'm really not sure that he will follow me obediently." I'm coming."

"Really? Well, Mr. Dai is just too modest. You saved my life and helped me so much. It is right to treat you to a meal. Why refuse?"

I had no choice but to not say a word, just sit in my seat obediently, and leave early after dinner.However, I saw that Zhang Yun really prepared carefully tonight.There are more than a dozen dishes on the table, some of which are very expensive seafood.There are two bottles of red wine and four glasses on one side.A rather sumptuous dinner has been placed in front of me.

After the tea was served, I quickly took it and said thank you.Tang Xiaoru sat next to me, picked up her mobile phone and called Zhang Wen.She only heard her say: "Wenwen, are you coming soon? Dai Yong and I have already arrived, and we are waiting for you to serve dinner."

I don't know what Zhang Wen said, but Tang Xiaoru let out an oh and put down the phone.I prayed in my heart that it would be best for Zhang Wen to be unable to come suddenly because of something else, otherwise this meeting would be a bit embarrassing.But this wish was soon shattered.A few minutes later, the door was opened with a key, and Zhang Wen walked in with a straight face. When she saw me, she snorted softly.

At the moment Zhang Yun was busy working in the kitchen, when she heard the sound of the door opening, she hurried out and said, "Wenwen, are you here? Well, everyone is here, everyone should take their seats and start eating."

Zhang Wen hummed, walked to the seat opposite me and was about to sit down when Zhang Yun suddenly pulled her and said, "You sit next to me, this seat is mine."

Next to what Zhang Yun pointed to was the position on my left.But Zhang Wen was taken aback, and said, "What's yours and mine? It's just one seat. Is there any difference?"

Zhang Yun didn't care, she just pulled her younger sister to sit down beside me, and said, "If I tell you to sit here, you can just sit here, what are you talking about? I'll respect Mr. Dai for a glass of wine later, he is your sister and my great benefactor."

Zhang Wen glared at me unconvinced as she sat down, and then said to her sister dissatisfied: "Why? He is your great benefactor, not mine. You have to respect yourself, I don't know how to drink, It's not like you don't know."

"No, you must respect Mr. Dai for a drink tonight. It's just a glass of red wine, can it make you drunk?"

Zhang Wen had no choice but to ignore her sister and not look at me, so she said to Tang Xiaoru who was sitting opposite her: "Xiaoru, what are you and my sister doing? It's so good, who are you going to invite to dinner?"

Tang Xiaoru giggled and said, "It's none of my business, Sister Yun invited me here, and I'm also a guest."

Zhang Wen rolled her eyes, and finally turned her head to look at me, but her eyes fell on my arm, and she smiled, as if to say: "Alright, since you're here, it won't save me from looking for you." .This pinch today, but you brought it to your door yourself.

I felt the hairs on my arms stand up, and subconsciously stretched out my hand to cover the spot that was black and blue by her pinch last night.I thought that if you really dare to pinch, then I will not be polite to you.Anyway, I've apologized twice for that incident and put up with your inhuman abuse once more.No matter what offends you, it is enough to offset it, right?
Zhang Yun opened a bottle of red wine, filled all four glasses, then put a glass in front of everyone, picked up her own glass and said: "Okay, dinner has officially started. Before eating, I suggest everyone Clink your glasses. Welcome Xiaoru and Mr. Dai to my house. You are all good friends of Wenwen and me. Wenwen has been taken care of by Xiaoru, and Mr. Dai has helped me a lot. Especially when I am most sad Mr. Dai was with me all the time. I have the courage to live to this day because of his encouragement and persuasion. So, I would like to thank you for this glass of wine. Xiaoru, Mr. Dai, thank you, come on, cheers!"
