Chapter 24 – I’m Also Afraid Others Might Plot Against Me
At that moment, Ling Tian was dining alone, appearing noble and elegant.
Lin Yaoyao was first surprised, then quickly walked up to him. “You’re here too?”
Thank goodness she hadn’t thought of going back to cook dinner for him; otherwise, she would’ve ended up eating alone again.
Ling Tian was eating while glancing at Lin Yaoyao but didn’t say a word.
Lin Yaoyao felt a bit disappointed; after finally meeting each other outside, wasn’t he even a little surprised? Shouldn’t he show some kind of emotional reaction?
“Yaoyao, who is this?” Fu Qiushui asked curiously.
“He … is my roommate!” Lin Yaoyao introduced.
“Ahh, got it!” Fu Qiushui smiled slightly and then reached out her hand to Ling Tian. “Hello, I’m Yaoyao’s friend, Fu Qiushui!”
However, Ling Tian didn’t seem to care and was looking past them.
Fu Qiushui furrowed her eyebrows; who is this person? She was just greeting him, and he completely ignored her? Doesn’t he want to know more about Lin Yaoyao through me? Doesn’t he want some help with the conversation? So arrogant?
Clack, clack, clack … Suddenly, the sound of high heels came from behind them.
Both Lin Yaoyao and Fu Qiushui turned around.
They saw a tall, sexy woman in a fiery red silk dress, followed by a group of bodyguards walking towards them.
Under the restaurant’s lights, the red dress exuded scattered specks of light, like brilliant diamonds, exuding elegance and nobility. With fair and delicate skin, exquisite features, seductive red lips with a hint of a smile, and long, wavy brown hair cascading down her back, she exuded an intellectual and elegant charm with a subtle hint of allure.
“Oh, sweetheart, people usually conduct business through a two-or three day luxury meal package from a top hotel, right? And you randomly picked a restaurant?” The beauty walked up to Ling Tian.
Lin Yaoyao and Fu Qiushui were slightly surprised! So … was she here for Ling Tian?
This kind of temperament, was she some kind of top-tier socialite?
And what’s with “picking any random restaurant”? For many regular folks, this was a place of luxury they could only visit on special occasions!
Lin Yaoyao slightly furrowed her brow, looking at the woman in the red dress. Her thoughts were a bit chaotic …
Did Ling Tian know this glamorous lady? Did he … like this kind of alluring older woman? What’s his relationship with her? Does he know many such beautiful women?
After all, this guy was so handsome, had that aloof and noble temperament, and was inscrutable …
For most women, he was indeed very attractive!
Suddenly, Lin Yaoyao felt an unprecedented sense of crisis. If Ling Tian knew many beautiful women, would he be taken away by someone else?
“Hehe, brought people along?” The glamorous woman came up and looked at Lin Yaoyao and Fu Qiushui.
“Aren’t you here with people too?” Ling Tian replied coolly.
While speaking, he was looking outside the restaurant.
By now, the area outside was filled with rows of luxury cars, among them a distinctive and luxurious business car.
In front of the business car was a symbol – the Alliance headquarters!
Ling Tian’s gaze penetrated the restaurant and fixed on the business car.
He knew that behind that car, someone unique was watching him.
“I’m also afraid that others might plot against me, so of course, I need to bring along a few people.” The woman in the red dress chuckled, then said, “These two … are who to you?”
“Associates!”
However, Ling Tian didn’t answer her question, just withdrew his gaze and coolly uttered two words.
The woman in the red dress smiled, “Can’t we chat a bit?”
Ling Tian remained silent, just gazing at her.
Although he was sitting, he gave off the impression of looking down on her while she was standing.
Seeing Ling Tian’s expression, the woman in the red dress shook her head with a smile.
She knew that someone like Ling Tian wasn’t one to engage in long conversations!
Want to chat with him more? It’s really not possible!
“Here’s what I brought!” She stepped forward with long and elegant strides.
Then, her fair hand placed a special hard drive on the table. She waved, and a bodyguard approached, placing a small box on the table.
“This is half the payment. Once you find the person, we’ll pay you the other half!” The woman in the red dress smiled.
Ling Tian picked up the hard drive and the box, got up, and walked away.
“Can’t we have a few more words? Even just a meal? Are you busier than us?” The woman in the red dress hurriedly called.
What’s with this guy’s attitude?
Aren’t I considered a beautiful woman? Would it hurt to spend some time with me?
