Chapter 1053 — Openly Admitting Her Identity
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Here, have a look." Sun Jingyan passed the menu on to Feng Xiaoxiao and Wei Zhao.
Wei Zhao did not even glance at it, handing it straight to Feng Xiaoxiao. Feng Xiaoxiao, for her part, was not shy about it: she ordered a few more dishes she liked, but none of them costly — all of them the cheap-and-tasty sort. As for anything too outlandish, she naturally did not order it; after all, this was her own money now, and she would have to let it flow thin so it would last.
"That's all, then?" Feng Xiaoxiao handed the menu back to the waiter.
Wu Chengtian wanted to add a few more dishes, but before he could open his mouth, Feng Xiaoxiao went on: "Brother Chengtian is a big boss — he's long since grown tired of single-head abalone and the like. There's nothing much worth having here anyway; better to switch to something light. Order too many delicacies and it only damages Brother Chengtian's image!"
"Huh?" Wu Chengtian blinked, then waved a magnanimous hand and laughed. "Quite right! This stuff is all too shabby. Better to eat light — it's early in the morning, and that rich food is hard on the stomach!"
The waiter saw nothing amiss. The man had already bought a five-million-yuan VIP card; what he ate was his own business. Even if he ordered nothing at all and asked for a few complimentary fruit plates, she would still have to serve him with a smile.
That casual five million was enough to show the depth of Wu Chengtian's fortune. Who but a man worth hundreds of millions could spend money like that?
The waiter took the menu and withdrew. Wu Chengtian nursed his aching heart for a while before he remembered the real business of the day: he had invited Wei Zhao and Feng Xiaoxiao here to prove their relationship in front of Sun Jingyan. If that came off, then his ten million would not have been spent in vain.
"Brother Wei Zhao, this is the first time Xiaoxiao has met Jingyan, isn't it? As your host, let me make the introductions!" Wu Chengtian said, rising with a smile. "Jingyan, this is Wei Zhao's girlfriend, Feng Xiaoxiao. We met at an auction in Yanjing — we got on quite well!"
"Hello, Xiaoxiao. You don't mind my calling you that?" Sun Jingyan said with a smile, extending her hand to Feng Xiaoxiao. This was, properly speaking, the first time the two had met.
"Not at all. Then I'll call you Sister Jingyan." Feng Xiaoxiao had learned Sun Jingyan's identity from Wei Zhao and had nothing against her. So long as a person had no intention of stirring up trouble between her and Wei Zhao, Feng Xiaoxiao found it easy to accept them.
"Heh, then I'll call you little sister Xiaoxiao," Sun Jingyan said, nodding with a smile.
"Xiaoxiao, this is Sun Jingyan. She is... mm, Jingyan, how am I supposed to describe your relationship with Wei Zhao?" Wu Chengtian trailed off, looking at Sun Jingyan with a show of difficulty, tossing this "awkward question" into her lap.
Wu Chengtian might be a little arrogant, but he was not entirely stupid. At the very least, he knew that bringing Feng Xiaoxiao and Wei Zhao together to dine with Sun Jingyan, and thereby expose the true nature of Sun Jingyan's relationship with Wei Zhao, was a strategy. And now, laying that relationship out in the open and making Sun Jingyan explain it herself — that too was a strategy.
It showed that Wu Chengtian did have some cunning in him; it was only that he was usually too conceited and too fond of putting on airs, which was why he kept coming off the worse against Feng Xiaoxiao. Then again, Feng Xiaoxiao had been known as the "little demoness" back at school — and who among them had ever gotten the better of her?
"Heh. I'm Wei Zhao's mistress," Sun Jingyan said, beaming, with a nod to Feng Xiaoxiao.
