An awkward atmosphere spread across the dining table.
Qiu Qinxin was the first to speak. Looking at Ye Mingmei, she said, "Miss Ye, you and Miss Ning must be very close, right?"
Ye Mingmei shrugged."Our relationship is especially good."
"Then can you share it with me? How can I become close friends with Miss Ning? "I haven't made any friends in my life. The only one who feels that I can open my heart to others is Miss Ning. I want to be friends with Miss Ning, just like you."
Ye Mingmei turned to look at Ning Jiang.
Ning Jiang smiled back at her.
Ye Mingmei said, "If people want to be friends with each other, sincerity is most important, just like Jiang Er. She is a person who treats me well, so I will definitely treat her well. Nothing else. If you treat her sincerely, then she will definitely return it sincerely."
Luo Hanshang raised his eyebrows. He used his true love to treat her, but he didn't see her return it.
Qiu Qinxin pursed her lips, "Miss Ning, it looks like I'll have to look for you more in the future. I truly want to be friends with you."
Ning Jiang smiled at Qiu Qinxin, "It's not that hard for you to be my friend."
She sighed in her heart. When his ex-girlfriend and his current girlfriend were discussing how to make friends, what did Luo Hanshang feel inside? She was actually quite curious.
The waiters began serving the dishes one by one.
After the dishes were ready, Luo Hanshang said, "If there's anything that doesn't suit your taste, you can order more."
Opposite of them, Qiu Qinxin said, "Hanshang, you know what we like. You've asked about Miss Ye's taboo just now. It's never wrong of you to order."
Ning Jiang picked up the chopsticks and said to Ye Mingmei, "Mingmei, eat more. You don't have to be so polite."
Ye Mingmei snickered at her."Don't worry, I won't be polite."
Then, she said to Luo Hanshang through Ning Jiang, "Director Luo, thank you for your hospitality today, so I won't be polite."
Luo Hanshang nodded and did not say a word.
Ye Mingmei felt that the Luo Hanshang today was much more amiable than the Master Luo who had di er with Song Minghui the other day.
At the di er table, Qiu Qinxin was very cordial. She helped Luo Hanshang with the food with the chopsticks."Hanshang, this is what you like. Eat more."
Luo Hanshang frowned. He looked at her and said, "Eat by yourself. Don't worry about us."
She smiled but didn't say anything. Then, she gave Luo Nanyi some more food and said the same thing.
Luo Nanyi looked at her, "Didn't Second Uncle already say that you don't need to be busy? Go ahead and eat."
"It's fine, I'm not that hungry yet." She pursed her lips and looked at Ning Jiang and Ye Mingmei, "Miss Ning, Miss Ye, what do you two like to eat? I'll help you eat."
Ye Mingmei raised her hand."My hands and feet are nimble. I can do it myself. Thank you."
Qiu Qinxin blushed slightly, "Miss Ye, don't misunderstand. I'm not saying that you guys are clumsy. My father does things from the Luo Garden, so I've learnt from my habit of helping out at the dining table. If there's anything you misunderstand about my actions, I can apologize."
Ning Jiang patted Ye Mingmei's hand, then smiled at Qiu Qinxin, "Qinxin, you don't have to be too nervous, there's no other meaning to being bright and beautiful. She just wants to tell you, everyone at the table is equal, everyone can eat by themselves, don't worry about us, really, this way everyone can feel better."
Qiu Qinxin's expression was bitter."I'm sorry, I did want to be closer to you guys, but I don't know how to express it. I'll pay attention next time."
Ye Mingmei laughed."Miss Qiu seems to like saying she's sorry."
Luo Nanyi put down her chopsticks and said with a cold expression, "She likes to say she's sorry, at least it's better than you. You talk very aggressively."
"Am I aggressive?" Ye Mingmei laughed disdainfully, "Little Director Luo is wrong. Miss Qiu asked us what we like to eat, and I said that I could take it myself, but isn't that right? She kept saying she was sorry, and I thought she liked to apologize, so I asked. What's wrong with that?"
Luo Nanyi was about to say something when Qiu Qinxin put her hand on Luo Nanyi's shoulder and said, "Nanyi, don't talk. Miss Ye is right. It's because I don't know how to communicate with others. I really want to improve this aspect."
Luo Nanyi looked at her."Why are you so useless? She's mocking you. Can't you tell?"
Ning Jiang put down her chopsticks in displeasure and said coldly, "Luo Nanyi, don't talk nonsense. What do you mean, 'Mingmei is mocking Qinxin? The two of them had no enmity with each other, so why was Mingmei making fun of Qinxin? You know Qinxin, you can protect her and speak for her. It's alright, after all, I understand that Qinxin didn't mean anything just now.
"But I also understand Mei-jie. Her words just now also have no other meaning, just like how Qinxin, who can't communicate with others, would apologize unintentionally. Mei-jie speaks carelessly and she doesn't intend to hurt anyone, what do you mean by messing around in the middle of all this?"
"Isn't it harmful for others to display one's personality and speak carelessly in front of people you don't know? Who gave her the right to speak nonsense? "
Ning Jiang said coldly, "Then why should we be so cautious just because of someone? Before you don't understand each other's personalities, there are always friction between two strangers. Otherwise, do you think that everyone can be born to be good friends? Are you here to eat or are you here to cause trouble? "
Ning Jiang finished. Luo Nanyi was silent. She put down her chopsticks, stood up and said with a cold expression, "Qinxin, I don't think anyone would welcome us at the dining table. Let's go."
Qiu Qinxin hastily pulled Luo Nanyi back and said, "Nanyi, don't be rash. They didn't have any ill intentions just now. If we were to leave, Miss Ning and Miss Ye would have been extremely embarrassed."
Luo Hanshang threw the chopsticks onto the table and said with a cold expression, "Those who want to eat, sit down and eat in peace. If you don't want to eat, you can leave immediately. Don't affect others' eating."
Qiu Qinxin pulled Luo Nanyi along and sat down.
Luo Nanyi was depressed in her heart.
After that, no one spoke again at the dining table.
Ning Jiang truly felt sorry for Mingyue.
She had clearly said that she would come and relax, but in the end it was difficult for the two of them to even have a quiet meal.
Was it to make her happy or to make her angry?
After the meal, Luo Hanshang said to Ning Jiang, "I will be going to the dining room in a while. Take Miss Ye back to her room. You can come back to our room before nine o'clock, and that's about the same time I went back."
Ning Jiang nodded."Alright."
After Luo Hanshang left, Ning Jiang pulled Ye Mingmei to her feet. She said to Qiu Qinxin, "Qinxin, you should go back to your room and rest early as well."
Qiu Qinxin hurriedly said, "Miss Ning, wait a moment."
Ning Jiang looked at her and smiled."Qinxin, is there anything else you need?"
She looked at Ye Mingmei."Can I have a few words with Miss Ye alone?"
Ning Jiang looked at Ye Mingmei with a puzzled expression.
Qiu Qinxin wanted to speak to Mingmei alone? Why?
