Sang Qianqian stopped in her tracks subconsciously. On the other hand, Ruan Xiaoshuang didnât seem to notice yet.
âQianqian, whatâs wrong?â
âNo, itâs nothing.â
Sang Qianqian coughed. âOh, right. I forgot that Hanyu wonât be the only one having dinner with us.â
âIs the friend who is talking to President Shen here?â
Ruan Xiaoshuang was a little uneasy. âWill I affect them if I go over?â
âI wonât. Only they can affect us.â
Sang Qianqian glared at Shen Hanyu and silently expressed her reproach. Why did he call her brother and other people for dinner?
Shen Hanyu stood up and pulled out a chair for them. He explained with a smile, âI happened to run into your brother after the call.â
Sang Qianqianâs gaze swept over Sang Minglang and the woman beside him, and she could almost guess who this woman was.
This was the woman who looked eerily similar to Ruan Xiaoshuang who was hospitalized before after Sang Minglang saved her at a bar.
Despite knowing Ruan Xiaoshuang would come tonight, her brother actually brought this woman with him. What was he trying to do?
âWhy are you here?â
Sang Qianqian didnât have a good attitude toward her brother. She really wanted to ask him a lot of things. It was fine if he came, but why did he bring a woman along?
âDidnât you say that you wanted me to find a girlfriend?â
Sang Minglang indifferently pointed at the woman beside him, âI just happened to bring your sister-in-law here to shop today, so I can introduce her to you.â
Zhang Xue revealed a beautiful smile and extended her hand toward Sang Qianqian. âYouâre Qianqian, right? Iâm Zhang Xue, Iâve been hearing about you from your brother, Iâm so happy to finally meet you todayâ¦â
Sang Qianqian was shocked. Was her brother serious?
He actually got together with Zhang Xue?
Didnât he say that it was impossible between them?
Moreover, wasnât Zhang Xue in Guangdong City? Why was she in Beijing now?
However, Sang Qianqian couldnât ask much at this moment. She could only smile and reach out to shake the womanâs hand.
âMinglang, this is?â
Zhang Xue looked at Ruan Xiaoshuang, who was standing quietly beside Sang Qianqian, and her eyes revealed a hint of surprise.
She looked very similar to Ruan Xiaoshuang, especially her eyes.
This was the first time Zhang Xue had seen someone who looked so similar to her.
âRuan Xiaoshuang, a friend.â
Sang Minglang introduced them calmly. He smiled and looked at Ruan Xiaoshuang and Sang Qianqian, âLetâs sit and talk. Youâll get tired from standing for so long.â
Zhang Xue looked at Sang Minglang with a complicated expression, but she didnât say anything more.
Sang Qianqian deliberately said, âBrother, are you sure you want to have dinner with us and not bring Sister-in-law to enjoy some alone time?â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWe have plenty of time in the future. As for you,â
Sang Minglang glanced at his younger sister, seeing through her thoughts with a single glance. âWhy do you seem like you donât want your brother and sister-in-law to be here?â
âHow is that possible? Iâm truly excited to see both of you here.â
Sang Qianqian had a smile on her face, but her words were not polite. âI just feel that itâs a little too casual for you to bring Sister-in-law here so suddenly. You should have picked a good day to properly bring her home. Brother, youâre a typical example of thoughtlessness.â
âIâm definitely planning to bring her home, but I happened to bump into you today, so I wonât miss the chance to introduce her now. Besides, do you think Xiaoxue is like you? She doesnât mind about this at all.â
Sang Minglangâs casual words turned the spearhead back to Sang Qianqian.
Sang Qianqian smiled as she gritted her teeth. âIs that so? Then that would be the best. But Brother, you should have told me in advance tonight so that Sister Xiaoshuang and I couldâve been more prepared.â
âWhy would you need to do that? Youâre my sister, and Miss Ruan is an old friend. Itâs just a meal.â
Sang Minglang turned to Ruan Xiaoshuang. âMiss Ruan doesnât mind me coming here without telling you, right?â
Ruan Xiaoshuangâs long eyelashes fluttered as she said softly, âI donât.â
âSee, I didnât say anything wrong, right?â
Sang Minglang said calmly, âQianqian, why are you worrying so much now?â
Sang Qianqian was furious. Her brother had definitely done it on purpose today!
Seeing the undercurrent between the siblings, Shen Hanyu smiled and said, âQianqian, Miss Zhang has ordered a few dishes just now. See what Miss Ruan likes to eat and order some more.â
Sang Qianqian glared at her brother, took the menu, and started to order.
Although she didnât know why her brother had suddenly brought Zhang Xue to have a meal with her and Ruan Xiaoshuang, it was a good thing that the meal went relatively smoothly. Her brother didnât do much. Other than a few words with Zhang Xue, he didnât say anything else.
However, when Zhang Xue asked about Ruan Xiaoshuangâs eyes, she heard from Sang Qianqian that the surgery time had not been determined yet. The main thing was that the matching of the corneas would take time, but it would still take five to six months.
âItâs not like thereâs no way to be faster.â
Sang Minglang interrupted casually, âIf Miss Ruan is willing, I can help.â
Ruan Xiaoshuang rejected almost immediately. âNo need.â
âMiss Ruan, you donât have to be so polite. Didnât you help me when I was hospitalized last year?â
Sang Minglang said indifferently, âIâve never liked to owe favors. No matter what, I have to return it. Otherwise, I wonât be able to feel at ease.â
Sang Qianqianâs heart skipped a beat. She almost thought that her brother already knew that Ruan Xiaoshuang had donated her corneas for him.
Ruan Xiaoshuangâs face was also a little pale, and her slender fingers tightly gripped the corner of her clothes. âHow is Mr. Sang planning to return the favor?â
âIâll use my connections to find a suitable cornea transplant for you as soon as possible.â
Sang Minglang smiled. âI still have some connections in the capital, and I also have Hanyuâs relationship with the Zhen family. You wouldnât need to wait for five or six months.â
Ruan Xiaoshuangâs clenched fingers loosened silently and she heaved a sigh of relief.
âQianqian actually mentioned it before, but there are many patients waiting for a cornea transplant like me. Itâs only normal to wait for a long time to go through with the surgery, so I donât want to go through any special procedures. Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Sang.â
Her voice was gentle, but her attitude was firm.
Sang Minglang didnât insist. âSince thatâs the case, Iâll have to find another chance to repay Miss Ruan for what I owe her.â
Ruan Xiaoshuang said softly, âMr. Sang was injured because of my brother, and I helped Mr. Sang to make up for it. Therefore, thereâs no need to do anything more in return.â
She pursed her lips. âAfter all, the past is in the past. Itâs been over a long time ago.â
The air was silent for a few seconds.
Sang Qianqian felt a little nervous for no reason. To be honest, her brother had been unusually quiet recently. He should have returned to Yuecheng, but he hadnât, which made her feel uneasy.
She was afraid that her brother would say something inappropriate. Fortunately, her brother only shrugged. âAlright, if thatâs what Miss Ruan wishes.â
âBrother, donât worry. Iâll be handling Sister Xiaoshuangâs eyes.â
Sang Qianqianâs anxious heart finally calmed down. She hurriedly said, âI will definitely let her see the world again.â
Sang Minglang nodded. The atmosphere at the dining table seemed to have returned to normal.
At the end of the meal. Sang Minglang suddenly said, âHanyu, didnât you say that you were going to watch a movie with my sister? It just so happens that Xiaoxue wants to go back home early. Miss Ruan, our destination happens to pass by your house, so let us send you home..â
