Chapter 841 Where Is The Fun?
Mu Chenyan was getting ready to pay when Su Feifei pulled out her card. Mu Chenyan stared at her, "Jie, I called you out for a meal. I can pay for it as well."Su Feifei smiled at her, "I know, I know you're very rich. But I'm still the older one between us. How can I let my junior sister pay for my meal?"
"But you said you'll let me treat you to a meal!"
"Didn't I let you do it? We came to the place you chose," was Su Feifei's response. "Okay, it's just a meal. Don't sulk over it. What does it matter who pays for it?"
"Exactly!" retorted Mu Chenyan. "Why does it matter who is paying? It's just a meal. Can't you let me do it?"
"It's still a no," said Su Feifei. "I should butter you up if I want to become your sister-in-law."
Mu Chenyan stared at Su Feifei, "I can't believe you're even joking about that now. Don't do it, or else, I might really take it seriously." They got out of the private room as they continued to chat. "Jie, where are you going? I'll drop you off. After all, my people picked you up."
"Correction! They abducted me in broad daylight!"
"It can't be called abduction," said Mu Chenyan in a small voice.
"What else should we call it?" asked Su Feifei.
"I merely invited you for a meal," replied Mu Chenyan innocently.
"You really stick with your words till the end," Su Feifei shook her head at Mu Chenyan.
Mu Chenyan chuckled to herself. They were laughing when the door of another private room slid open and very familiar faces came into Mu Chenyan's vision. And as she looked at the woman in the lead, she was momentarily stunned.
"Sao..." Mu Chenyan bit her tongue when she realized she was about to call the woman as 'saozi'. It was old habit. How weird though. She hadn't called that woman saozi in over twenty years and yet, she called her that now. It must be because she always called him like that. "Dr. Song, what a coincidence!"
Song Xin'ai was equally surprised to see Mu Chenyan here. She looked at the woman beside Mu Chenyan and smiled at both of them, "It's a pleasant surprise, Chenyan. Director Su, it's been a while."
"Indeed," agreed Su Feifei as she looked at Song Xin'ai. "It's rare to find Dr. Song outside the lab. So, I must say today must be a miracle day."
"Aunt, the friend you're meeting was Director Su Feifei?" asked Xiang Wai. Even when she asked the question, her eyes were glued to Su Feifei's face instead of Mu Chenyan's.
"That's right," said Mu Chenyan. "Su Jie is the one I came to meet. Jie, let me introduce you even though you already know them. That's my niece, Xiang Wai and that's my nephew, Xiang Weimin."
Xiang Wai was the first one to extend her hand toward Su Feifei saying, "I'm Xiang Wai. It's a pleasure to meet you, Director Su. How is Investigator Ying these days?"
"Busy taking care of her daughter," answered Su Feifei.
"What? She is married?" asked Xiang Wai in surprise.
Su Feifei chuckled, "Major, she isn't as young as you are. Of course, she is married. But she married years ago. It's just that they waited before having their own child. So, their daughter is very young." She turned to Xiang Weimin, "Lieutenant Colonel Xiang, congratulations!"
"Me?" Xiang Weimin pointed at himself. "What for?"
"For your heroic act, you're getting the first-class honor, didn't you hear about it?" asked Su Feifei.
"Jie, why are you so well informed about military matters? I don't think your organization is on that good of terms with the army," commented Mu Chenyan.
"I heard it from my brother-in-law," answered Su Feifei. "He must have heard it from your brother." Mu Chenyan nodded her head. Su Feifei turned to Song Xin'ai and added, "I should say congrats to you too, Dr. Song. You had a major breakthrough in your research."
"I heard your research team will be joining us next month?" asked Song Xin'ai.
"That's true," replied Su Feifei. "In fact, that's why I'm here to have a proper negotiation with your research center. Can't let my researchers work for nothing."
"What a dedicated Director you are," said Song Xin'ai. "I guess I'll be seeing you a lot more then."
Su Feifei pursed her lips and looked over at Mu Chenyan who had a weird expression on her face. Su Feifei found it funny. But she definitely understood what was running through Mu Chenyan's mind. After all, one was her ex-sister-in-law and the other was the one she was trying to make her future sister-in-law. What a sight to see them both working together!
"I thought you weren't staying for so long," said Mu Chenyan.
"If the negotiation goes well, then you'll be seeing me a lot more," replied Su Feifei.
"Then I wish you luck, it'll make it convenient for me if you're around," said Mu Chenyan with a grin.
Su Feifei didn't want to pay attention to the meaning behind those words of Mu Chenyan. She could only sigh and say, "I should take my leave now."
"I'll drop you off," said Mu Chenyan.
"Ask one of your people to drop me off," said Su Feifei. "You should stay. Someone must have something to say to you." As she said that, her eyes were directed toward Song Xin'ai who didn't refute her words.
Mu Chenyan followed her eyes and looked at Song Xin'ai as well. She nodded to herself as she agreed with Su Feifei's words.
Su Feifei was about to leave when she stopped and looked at Mu Chenyan saying, "Oh, when you find your secret admirer, don't forget to let me know. I'm dying of curiosity for days now."
Mu Chenyan stared at her in silence, "Jie, you can find the identity yourself if you're so curious."
Su Feifei shrugged, "Where is the fun in that?"
