Chapter 144 - 144: Treating You to a Meal

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Seeing that his sister was worried about his money, Jiang Huai felt much better. “1’11 leave after 1 communicate with him. I don’t have time to come later. It’s mainly because it’s your first day of filming today. I’m worried and have to come over to see if your colleagues are easy to talk to. If anyone dares to scold you, remember them. I’ll get An Xin to fire them immediately.”

Tan Ming’s heart warmed when she heard Jiang Huai’s concern for her. She pulled her brother’s arm and shook it. She said coquettishly, “An Xin knows that you invested for me and treats me very well. When others see his attitude, they more or less know in their hearts and are polite to me. With you, an invisible umbrella, protecting me, I’m living a comfortable life.”

“You’re not allowed to care about holding hands. This is what the plot needs. If 1 can’t even do this, who will be willing to hire me? I’m still thinking of getting a Best Actress in the future.”

Jiang Huai’s heart melted when he saw Tan Ming’s soft expression. He compromised immediately. “You’re ambitious! You truly belong to the Jiang family! 1 won’t care then, but my bottom line is that you can only hold hands at most! An actress without intimate scenes can still win the Best Actress Award. Don’t be fooled by others.”

Tan Ming covered her mouth and chuckled. “Alright! My bottom line is only to hold hands.”

The two of them reached a consensus before Jiang Huai returned to his production team to continue filming.

Tan Si’s filming had already reached the second half. She wanted to take advantage of the fact that Jiang Huai was still in the film studio to ask him out to cultivate their relationship. As she did not have Jiang Huai’s contact information, she could only get Dong Ling to personally go to Jiang Huai’s production team to invite him.

It had been more than a month since she said those words last time. Dong Ling thought that Tan Si had changed her mind. She did not expect her to take action so suddenly.

Autumn had already begun this month. The weather was cool and the film studio was huge. Dong Ling took a taxi and arrived at her destination.

Coincidentally, her luck was not bad. As soon as Dong Ling got out of the car, she saw Jiang Huai leave the set and shouted, “Brother Huai!”

Jiang Huai turned around and saw Dong Ling jogging towards him. He felt that she looked familiar. “You are?”

Dong Ling smiled and replied, “Brother Huai, I’m Tan Si’s assistant. Sister Si wants to treat you to a meal.”

When Jiang Huai heard this, he felt rather baffled. The bad woman who had persecuted An’an since she was young still had the cheek to treat him to a meal. He was afraid that he would vomit if they ate together. “No need.”

Jiang Huai turned around and was about to get into the car when Dong Ling hurriedly said, “Sister Si said that she has something very important to tell you. It’s related to An’an!”

Jiang Huai’s hand that was opening the car door paused. He glanced at Dong Ling and could not guess what Tan Si wanted to do. However, he suddenly had other thoughts. “Alright, 7:30 p.m. tonight at Lakeside Restaurant. I won’t wait for you if you’re late.”

Since she had invited him, she had to follow his own rules. Jiang Huai was not someone who would give the deciding rights to the enemy.

Although Tan Si had also booked a place, it was obvious that Jiang Huai was the one who set the rules in this game. Dong Ling immediately agreed. “Okay.”

When Tan Si heard Dong Ling’s report, she did not care about this. Tonight’s goal was not to drug her and climb into bed. It did not matter where they ate.

Lakeside Restaurant

Tan Si had actually arrived 10 minutes earlier. She had wanted to pretend and only appeared slowly at 7:40 pm. Unexpectedly, just after 7:31 pm, she saw someone push open the dining room door and walk out.

The man was wearing sunglasses and a hoodie. Tan Si’s intuition told her that this was Jiang Huai.

Tan Si was so frightened that she hurriedly ran out of the car and stopped Jiang Huai. She panted heavily and said embarrassedly, “I’m sorry, there was a traffic jam on the road.”

Jiang Huai raised his hand to reveal his watch. His voice was calm and emotionless. “You’re one minute and 35 seconds late. Miss Tan, you have to strengthen your sense of time.”

Tan Si’s expression stiffened slightly, but she still replied gently, “I’ll definitely take note next time.”

Jiang Huai said bluntly, “It’s alright. We’ll only meet once.”

With that, Jiang Huai turned around and entered the dining room. Tan Si rolled her eyes in anger when she saw Jiang Huai’s emotionless behavior. She muttered softly, “When you kneel under my skirt, let’s see if you still dare to be so arrogant to me!”

But now, Tan Si could only stomp her feet in anger. Dong Ling, who was sitting in the driver’s seat not far away, saw this scene and her eyes curved into crescents. She was in a good mood and the anger she usually suffered dissipated a little.

Celebrities liked to go to this restaurant because the environment was good and the privacy was good.

Jiang Huai booked a private room with a small round table for six people..
