Chapter 1138: Chapter 443: Chaotic Scene (Part 4)
She frequently came here to hang out, yet it was the first time she saw it.
Tang Song followed her gaze.
Beneath the ancient city wall, the acrylic sign of "Glimmer Coffee" glimmered gently under the sunlight.
He pondered for a moment and smiled, "I seem to have a vague recollection; this was a branch that Sister Shuyu decided on before securing financing. It seems to have just opened."
While Xie Shuyu was seeking financing, she also began piloting multi-type branches.
This particular store is a typical quick-service outlet, about 50 square meters, similar in scale to a common Luckin Coffee.
A complex expression flickered in Wen Ruan’s eyes, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone: "Sister Shuyu, you call her so affectionately. You even went to work part-time there, and later simply invested directly. Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to."
"Uh..." Tang Song awkwardly chuckled and scratched her palm, "My dear baby Ruannuan, let’s talk about something else."
Upon hearing his endearment, Wen Ruan’s smile returned, "Let’s go, we’ve eaten enough. Let’s head inside for a cup of coffee. Just to say, the coffee at Glimmer Cafe is pretty awesome."
In truth, she harbored no malice towards Xie Shuyu, and she held great admiration for this self-made female President in the past.
However, possibly because they were of similar age, thinking about Tang Song’s relationship with her sparked a tinge of jealousy.
Being able to speak it out showed she wasn’t truly angry and merely wanted to be coaxed.
Walking through the bright glass door, the subtle aroma of coffee mixed with the scent of desserts greeted them.
The interior decor wasn’t as lavish as those in the city’s CBD, but it was trendy and cozy, exuding a petite sense of beauty and elegance.
Being noon, the place was already quite crowded, mostly with couples.
Hand in hand, the two approached the counter, but just as they were about to order, the smile on Tang Song’s face froze, his pupils slightly dilating.
Noticing his odd behavior, Wen Ruan followed his gaze and was astonished to discover a beautiful woman standing in the corner of the counter—Xie Shuyu.
Today, she wore a simple yet elegant white fitted long-sleeve top, paired with a plaid blazer, and a high-waisted skirt of the same tone.
Her black hair was smoothly draped over her shoulders, with the ends slightly curled.
She stood there quietly, with exquisite makeup adorning her face, exuding an air of calm elegance.
Her bright, confident eyes were penetrating, as if they could see through one’s soul.
As their eyes met, the President’s gaze shifted between Tang Song and Wen Ruan, finally settling on their interlocked hands, the warmth in her eyes gradually fading.
Danger! Danger! Danger!
Tang Song’s brows twitched violently.
The unexpected encounter of two girlfriends created a chaotic scene that instantly put him on edge, experiencing this for the first time.
He knew that since deciding to be a scoundrel, he would face this day sooner or later, and he had mentally prepared himself for it.
He just didn’t expect the opening act to involve both Wen Ruan and Xie Shuyu.
Both of them were mature ladies with strong personalities, making them exceptionally challenging to deal with.
Wen Ruan glanced at Tang Song beside her and took the initiative to release his hand.
She stepped forward with a smile, "Good afternoon, President Xie. I didn’t expect to see you here."
Having experienced Su Yu’s ordeal, she wasn’t too emotionally shaken this time. She merely didn’t want Tang Song to feel awkward.
Xie Shuyu’s red lips slightly parted, revealing a faint smile, "It’s our branch’s trial operation. I’m here to check it out."
Then her gaze shifted to Tang Song, "After all, this is our first quick-service store. Wouldn’t you agree, Tang Song?"
As she spoke, Xie Shuyu stepped out from behind the counter, calmly standing in front of them.
Clad in a casual suit, she looked tall, slim, and sexy, exuding elegance, intellect, and irresistible charm.
Under normal circumstances, Tang Song would have certainly thrown in a few compliments, taking the chance to flirt with the female President.
But at the moment, he had no such inclination.
He licked his dry lips awkwardly, "Good afternoon, Sister Shuyu, have you eaten?"
"Not yet, care to join me?" Xie Shuyu lightly clasped her long fingers together, but her face remained mostly indifferent.
At this point, Wen Ruan stepped forward a half step, positioning herself between the two, "We’ve been snacking outside and can’t eat more. How about a cup of coffee together?"
Making eye contact, Xie Shuyu found the answer she was looking for in Wen Ruan’s eyes.
Wen Ruan knew about her relationship with Tang Song.
