But if she compares it with her own face and future, she will definitely choose herself without hesitation.

The dinner started quickly and everyone sat down. What made Fan Shengmei feel relieved was that Qu Xiaoxiao had not shown up yet. She thought that Qu Xiaoxiao was going to accompany her boyfriend today and would not have dinner with them.

Andy and the other two girls were secretly puzzled, because Qu Xiaoxiao had already told them in the afternoon that they would have dinner together in the evening, but now the dinner was about to start, why hadn't she shown up yet? Was she going to do something weird again?

Everyone sat down on both sides of the long table. The food tonight was different from that at lunch. Tonight, Yami would have a private custom kitchen and the chef would introduce the food personally.

The first dish has been placed in front of everyone, and the chef also stood in front of the table and began to explain.

"Hello, distinguished guests. Welcome to Yami Private Customization. My name is Ken. Today I am honored to prepare three dishes for you..."

While the chef was explaining, Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer were texting each other.

Although Zhou Chen was not very interested in this private customization, he listened to the chef's explanation very patiently. In fact, it was all the same old stuff. He had heard too many similar explanations over the years.

He has lived for so many years and has eaten countless dishes, both Chinese and Western, which are divided into countless categories, but he still feels that domestic Chinese food is more in line with his taste, especially those recipes passed down from ancient times.

Like today's cuisine, the first dish is some vegetables and seafood put together with some seasonings. It sounds high-end, but it's actually just like that.

"Hey, hey, hey, didn't we agree to have dinner together tonight? We haven't even arrived yet, why are the dishes already being served?"

The voice arrives before the person arrives.

Hearing this voice, Andy and the others' faces suddenly changed, especially Fan Shengmei, whose body trembled.

Chapter 448: The truth is revealed, and the dinner party turns against each other

As Qu Xiaoxiao walked into the private room with Zhao Qiping, everyone in the room had different expressions.

If the atmosphere in the private room was harmonious before, now it suddenly became weird.

All these changes seemed to be due to the appearance of Qu Xiaoxiao.

Zhao Qiping, who was held by Qu Xiaoxiao, also felt the weirdness here and was puzzled.

Before coming, he was not quite sure about Qu Xiaoxiao's relationship with these people, but now it seems that his girlfriend is not very popular.

It was Wei Wei who took the initiative to stand up and said, "Xiao Qu, Doctor Zhao, you are here. We haven't officially started yet. You came at the right time."

"Really? Why do I feel like someone doesn't welcome us?"

Qu Xiaoxiao glanced around with a smile, especially at Fan Shengmei's face, where she lingered a little longer.

Fan Shengmei felt Qu Xiaoxiao's malicious gaze and her heart started beating fast. She didn't trust Qu Xiaoxiao in the first place, and now Qu Xiaoxiao's meaningful gaze made her feel even worse.

"Okay, Xiao Qu, sit down now that you're here. Dinner will be starting soon."

Andy didn't want Qu Xiaoxiao to do anything wrong, so he quickly shouted at her.

Zhao Qiping also whispered in Qu Xiaoxiao's ear: "Stop making trouble."

Qu Xiaoxiao had to give face to Andy, and she had to give face to her boyfriend even more, so she smiled slightly.

"Okay, Dia Zhao, let's do it over here."

Qu Xiaoxiao pulled Zhao Qiping to sit behind Qiu Yingying, facing her.

This is a long table with several people sitting on both sides. Zhou Chen, Guan Juer, Wang Baichuan and Fan Shengmei are sitting on the left, Wei Wei, Andy and Qiu Yingying are sitting on the right, and now Qu Xiaoxiao and Zhao Qiping are also sitting on the right.

"It's great that our neighbors on the 22nd floor are eating together again, and there are a few more people this time."

In this awkward atmosphere, Qu Xiaoxiao seemed to not feel anything at all and took the initiative to start a conversation.

"Speaking of this, I have to talk about you, Qiu Yingying."

Qiu Yingying stiffened her neck and shouted in dissatisfaction: "Qu Xiaoxiao, what do you want to say?"

"What do I want to say?"

Qu Xiaoxiao sneered: "Look at yourself, Andy, Guan Guan, Sister Fan, and me, we all brought male companions this time, and you are the only one who is single. Don't you feel awkward?"

Qiu Yingying's face suddenly fell. It would have been fine if Qu Xiaoxiao didn't say anything. Once she said it, she immediately felt awkward, but she still insisted on being stubborn.

"What's wrong with me being single? I'm single and I'm proud of it. What's it got to do with you?"

"Hey, you, I'm kindly reminding you, what's your attitude?"

"Qu Xiaoxiao, just forget it. I don't need your kindness. You should just take care of yourself."

"Good intentions are never rewarded. My kindness is taken for granted."

Qu Xiaoxiao snorted in dissatisfaction, then ignored Qiu Yingying and looked at everyone else with a smile.

"Mr. Zhou, Ms. Fan, and this Mr. Wang, you didn't see us just now, so I didn't have time to introduce us to you. This is my boyfriend, Zhao Qiping, Doctor Zhao."

"Dia Zhao, this Zhou Dong is Xiao Guan Guan's boyfriend, a business tycoon, a very remarkable person; this is Sister Fan, a neighbor, and Brother Wang is Sister Fan's old classmate. As for whether he has evolved into a boyfriend, I'm not sure."

Although Zhao Qiping felt that the atmosphere at the moment was very strange, he still gave face to his girlfriend and politely greeted Zhou Chen and the other two.

"Hello, Mr. Jay, Mr. Wang, Ms. Fan."

Zhou Chen and Wang Baichuan both responded politely, but Fan Shengmei seemed to be forcing a smile. She kept staring at Qu Xiaoxiao, ready to respond accordingly.

Wei Wei took the initiative to say, "Mr. Zhou, Xiao Wang, I just talked to Dr. Zhao for a while. He is a very good orthopedic surgeon. If you have any problems in this area in the future, you can contact Dr. Zhao. He will definitely be able to solve it."

Zhao Qiping: "Mr. Wei, you are overpraising me. I am just a little-known doctor. I don't have such great ability."

Qu Xiaoxiao said in a delicate voice: "Who said that? I think you are the best. You are the only deputy chief physician in the entire hospital at your age."

Andy whispered a few words to Wei Wei, who immediately called the waiter next to him and asked him to ask the chef to serve another dish to Qu Xiaoxiao and Zhao Qiping.

The chef had obviously prepared something in advance and soon served two more servings, and then everyone started to eat.

However, the dinner party with Zhou Chen where everyone was chatting and laughing was different. The appearance of Qu Xiaoxiao made the evening dinner party seem a little dull. Even though Wei Wei was there to liven up the atmosphere, Fan Shengmei and Wang Baichuan still seemed a little restrained, as if they were worried about something.

In fact, Wang Baichuan and Fan Shengmei both knew each other's true situation very well. Before Qu Xiaoxiao came, they were able to restrain each other.

But with Qu Xiaoxiao's sudden appearance, many things cannot be avoided, and this is also what Fan Shengmei is most worried about.

So the two of them ate in silence, each with their own thoughts, and no one wanted to speak first.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Guan Juer wanted to speak, but Zhou Chen held her down, signaling her not to meddle in other people's business.

For Zhou Chen, his goal for today had been achieved. The moment Qu Xiaoxiao sat at the table to eat, he had completed his dinner mission again.

He didn't care what happened next, and he didn't want Guan Juer to get involved.

Although Qiu Yingying was not very smart, she could see Fan Shengmei's uneasiness. She said with a smile, "Sister Fan, this custom-made dish is really delicious. What do you think?"

Fan Shengmei laughed awkwardly and replied, "Yeah, it's really delicious. Eat more."

"Yes, yes, eat something, otherwise you don't know when you will have the chance to eat next time." Qu Xiaoxiao suddenly said.

Her words immediately angered Qiu Yingying, who shouted at Qu Xiaoxiao, "Qu Xiaoxiao, if you don't speak, no one will think you're dumb."

Qu Xiaoxiao said indifferently: "I'm not talking to you, why do you always put yourself in this situation?"

However, she did not notice that while she was speaking, Zhao Qiping, who was sitting next to her, frowned in dissatisfaction.

Although Zhao Qiping is a reserved man, he is still a polite gentleman on the surface and will never indulge himself in such occasions.

Qu Xiaoxiao is his girlfriend, but her current behavior is completely different from the one he knows, just like a shrew.

He can tolerate his girlfriend being unrestrained because it makes him feel excited, but that depends on the occasion. In this situation, it is very inappropriate.

"you……"

Qiu Yingying was so angry that she wanted to speak again, but Andy suddenly held her down and shook his head at her, which prevented her from arguing with Qu Xiaoxiao.

Seeing that Qiu Yingying didn't say anything else, Qu Xiaoxiao continued talking on her own.

"By the way, how many times have we had dinner together on the 22nd floor?"

"Let me do the math. I remember the first time the five of us on the 22nd floor got together for dinner, it seemed like it was handsome Jay Chou who hosted us."

After Qu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she looked at Zhou Chen, but found that Zhou Chen just glanced at her lightly without responding, so she could only smile awkwardly.

"The second time we had a meal together was probably at Andy's house, and we also had hairy crabs that time."

Fan Shengmei felt that Qu Xiaoxiao had bad intentions, and she was not ready to surrender. She suddenly glanced at Zhao Qiping, and an idea came to her mind.

"Yes, we had hairy crabs at Andy's house that time. A lot of trouble happened that day. Someone was really outrageous."

When Fan Shengmei spoke, the faces of the ladies present suddenly changed. The other three men were all very surprised when they saw this scene and didn't understand what was going on.

Qu Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "Sister Fan has a good memory. Something unpleasant did happen that time. I misunderstood Jay Chou and Xiao Guanguan. Afterwards, I realized my mistake and apologized to them sincerely. Jay Chou and Xiao Guanguan also generously accepted my apology."

"Really?" Fan Shengmei smiled and didn't argue, which made Qu Xiaoxiao grit her teeth in hatred.

Zhou Chen frowned silently. He was not prepared to take part in this fight, but Fan Shengmei actually brought it up. It seemed like she was deliberately trying to stir up trouble.

Andy quickly tried to smooth things over, "Well, the past is in the past, why bring it up again? We've finally gotten together, let's have a drink first."

"Okay, since Andy said so, of course I have to give him face."

Everyone, with their own thoughts, raised their glasses and drank the red wine.

Qu Xiaoxiao had no intention of stopping and continued, "The dinner party that left the deepest impression on me was the one at Jay Chou's house."

"To be honest, that experience really gave me a glimpse into what the real upper class society is like. Xiao Guanguan, you are so lucky to have a boyfriend like Jay Chou."

Guan Juer smiled awkwardly. She always felt that there was something else behind Qu Xiaoxiao's words, which made her feel uncomfortable.

Zhao Qiping frowned again. His girlfriend was praising another man in front of him. Even for him, he felt a little uncomfortable.

"We have had dinner together so many times, but we have never been to my house. I was thinking, how about we gather at my house next time for a dinner party. Although my house is not as magnificent as Jay Chou's house, there are hourly workers there anyway, so we can eat together." You don’t need to clean it up, just throw it in the sink, it’s very convenient, what do you think?”

Andy couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and shouted at Qu Xiaoxiao: "Qu Xiaoxiao." He winked at Qu Xiaoxiao with a sharp look.

Qu Xiaoxiao smiled at Andy, not afraid at all. Instead, she asked Fan Shengmei, "Sister Fan, what do you think of my suggestion?"

Fan Shengmei's face was gloomy, but she still pretended to be indifferent: "I don't care, you should ask others."

"How can that be possible? We live next door and we can get there just by walking. You can't refuse her consent." Qu Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

Although Zhao Qiping still didn't know what was going on, he already felt that Qu Xiaoxiao seemed to be targeting the woman opposite named Fan Shengmei.

He pulled Qu Xiaoxiao and whispered, "Stop talking. We are all eating at the same table. Don't make it too awkward."

Qu Xiaoxiao whispered, "Dia Zhao, you don't know the situation. I actually mean well. Just don't say anything and watch."

She is indeed a very smart woman, but sometimes she is too stubborn and self-willed. She was in high spirits at the moment, so she didn't listen to her boyfriend's advice.

Seeing that Qu Xiaoxiao didn't give face, Zhao Qiping's face became a little ugly, he finally understood that his girlfriend was deliberately finding fault today.

Qu Xiaoxiao continued: "Let me tell you a story. It's my father's personal experience. You will definitely find it funny after listening to it."

Without waiting for anyone else to speak, she began.

"When my dad was young, he borrowed a suit to meet a client. It was borrowed, no matter how well he dressed. Even if the suit fit him well, he was still a bumpkin at heart. He was soon exposed, and the person who exposed him was our Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager Cixi."

"Qu Xiaoxiao."

Even though he knew it was too late to stop it, Andy still shouted at Qu Xiaoxiao angrily.

But at this time, Fan Shengmei suddenly raised her hand to stop Andy's scolding, coughed dryly, and then looked at Wang Baichuan with a very ugly expression.

Wang Baichuan is also a smart man. Of course he knows what Qu Xiaoxiao meant by all the things she said.

All that was said before was to expose the facts about Fan Shengmei's house, and the story told later was directed at him.

Obviously, Qu Xiaoxiao already knew about the situation between him and Fan Shengmei. Judging from Andy's reaction, I'm afraid that everyone present already knew it.

His lie was exposed in front of him, in front of the goddess he cared about. He felt so socially dead that he didn't know what emotion to use to deal with it.

But at this time, Fan Shengmei didn't care about Wang Baichuan at all. Because of her own distorted values, she directed her anger at Wang Baichuan.

"Wang Baichuan, did you hear it? The community seems to be talking about you."

Wang Baichuan's eyes turned red when he heard this. He didn't care about his own embarrassment, but he couldn't accept Fan Shengmei treating him like this.

But Fan Shengmei was merciless and continued, "We are not stupid. We also like to play. We finally found a target to watch. Why do you want to expose it so early? It would be boring to expose it, right?"

As she spoke, she looked at Qu Xiaoxiao deliberately, her eyes filled with all kinds of emotions, and asked, "Qu Xiaoxiao, is it fun?"

Qu Xiaoxiao did not feel guilty at all, she felt that she was acting chivalrously and exposing the lies for Fan Sheng's sake, so why should she feel guilty?

The atmosphere in the private room suddenly became stagnant, but Zhou Chen, who had experienced countless storms, still had a calm expression.

Qu Xiaoxiao's behavior is indeed unkind and very annoying.

But Fan Shengmei's reaction is equally disgusting. You may not like Wang Baichuan, but there is no need to humiliate him in such an extremely humiliating way. No matter what Wang Baichuan is not, his heart is definitely not fake.

Seeing Wang Baichuan's grim expression, Wei Wei wanted to ease the atmosphere and raised his glass: "Come on, let's all raise our glasses..."
