Chapter 128: Meeting a Friend
Cheng Ling naturally sat next to Lu Qi. Their thighs touched slightly, and Cheng Ling sat a little to the right.
“You haven’t been to my place for some time. But the moment you came, you brought a beautiful girl along. Do you want to drink some wine?”
Jiang Xing raised his hand and called for someone to pour the wine.
The person who came was a beautiful woman in a cheongsam. She had a very good figure.
“Young Master Jiang, which bottle of wine do you want to open?”
“The bottle that I brought back last week.”
The woman in the cheongsam nodded and went to the wine cellar to get the wine.
When the red wine was opened, she needed to aerate the wine for a while. Thus, during this time, a few of them began to chat.
“You must have come to me for a reason. Tell me what it is.”
Lu Qi did not beat around the bush. “Please help me find a better wine as a gift for elders.”
“A better wine? What kind of wine do you want? Red wine, white wine, fruit wine, Brandy?”
Lu Qi tilted his head and looked at Cheng Ling. Cheng Ling shrugged to show that she did not know.
“Anything is fine.”
Anyway, she believed that Old Master Cheng was only looking at the brand and the price.
Jiang Xing pondered for a moment. Perhaps he did not expect Lu Qi to make a trip here, but he was actually so casual.
“What price are you looking at?”
Cheng Ling replied, “It doesn’t have to be too expensive. Just average will do. It’s just to let the elders at home show off.”
Jiang Xing was amused by Cheng Ling’s frankness.
“You’re quite an interesting girl. I want to make friends with you. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to me. Not just about wine.”
He took out his business card and gave it to Cheng Ling.
Cheng Ling didn’t hesitate and accepted it.
Since he was Lu Qi’s friend, he must be capable. Maybe she really would ask him for help in the future.
Jiang Xing picked up the red wine that had been aerated and poured it into the glass. He did it professionally.
“Try it. I specially went to France to bid on on this bottle of wine.”
Jiang Xing poured a glass of wine and moved it towards Cheng Ling. He wanted to pour another glass for Lu Qi but was stopped by him.
“I’m under treatment now, so I can’t drink.”
Jiang Xing frowned.
“When you were under treatment previously, didn’t you drink, too? Why? Did you change your medicine recently? Speaking of which, I see that you look good today. You’re not as skinny and weak as last time. You were so ugly then.”
Cheng Ling sniffed the red wine in her glass and thought, skinny, weak, and ugly?
How could these three words have something to do with Lu Qi?
No matter when he saw Lu Qi, he always looked calm and composed. Even if he was seriously poisoned, he was still very calm, as if nothing could disturb him.
Lu Qi’s temperament seemed to come from his bones, so these three words could not be related to Lu Qi at all.
At least not in Cheng Ling’s mind.
Lu Qi took the water from Jiang Xing and smiled.
“I did go for another doctor recently. The doctor’s skills are very good, and my health has improved.”
“Really? That’s great. You’ve been seeking treatment everywhere for so many years. Finally, you found a reliable doctor this time. But don’t look for a quack doctor. You have to see his medical license.”
Cheng Ling had just taken a sip of red wine. When she heard this, she almost spat it out.
Medical license?
She didn’t have one.
Cheng Ling took a piece of tissue paper and wiped the red wine stain from the corner of her mouth.
Lu Qi turned around and looked at Cheng Ling with a teasing smile in his eyes.
“Well, the doctor I’m seeing… Don’t worry, I trust her very much.”
Knowing that he was talking about her, Cheng Ling felt a faint sense of pride and joy.
After that, the two men talked about some things in life, and Cheng Ling occasionally interjected.
“Is that batch of arms okay?”
“It’s settled. Country L is asking for a lot, but fortunately, we’re not pushovers.”
The two of them did not avoid Cheng Ling while talking. From what Jiang Xing knew, he was indeed not just a liquor seller.
“By the way, how do you two know each other? This is Old Lu’s first time bringing a girl out.”
Lu Qi was about to speak when Jiang Xing interrupted him.
“I don’t want to listen to you. You sound so boring when you tell stories. I want to listen to Cheng Ling.”
Cheng Ling, who was named, tilted her head and said, “They stepped on my vegetables. I wanted them to pay, so we got to know each other.”
Jiang Xing thought that they would have got to know each other in a romantic affair. He didn’t expect it to happen in a market!
“Well, it’s not in a market. They stepped on my land.”
Jiang Xing widened his eyes.
“So this girl is a landlord!”
Seeing Jiang Xing’s shocking expression, Cheng Ling was amused by him.
Looking at Cheng Ling’s eyes that curved up because of her smile and the shallow dimples that were exposed, Lu Qi instantly felt a little uncomfortable.
