"Wang Man, I knew you did it on purpose!" Mu Ran came closer and glared fiercely at her best friend. "You didn't drink at all yesterday. You deliberately asked Qin Wei to pick me up."
Mu Ran wasn't stupid. After spending so much time with Wang Man, she knew her well enough.
"I didn't." Wang Man looked at Mu Ran seriously and raised her hand to swear. "I really drank yesterday. I don't drink when I drive, and I don't drive when I drink."
Seeing that Mu Ran still had a straight face, Wang Man could only add on.
"I really did drink but I also did arrange for Qin Wei to pick you up on purpose."
"Fu Ting bullied you so much so I have to do something. Even if I can't make him angry, I have to let him know that there's someone who likes you, and it's not like you can't do without him." Wang Man patted Mu Ran's shoulder, "We have to stand up for ourselves so that others don't look down on us."
Mu Ran did not reply but she looked at Wang Man quietly.
"Alright, I was wrong. Don't be angry. I'll treat you to a big meal, okay?" Wang Man moved closer to Mu Ran and tickled her. Mu Ran was originally a little angry but she could not withstand Wang Man's tickling so she had no choice but to surrender. "Fine, but I want to go to the most expensive restaurant."
"Okay," Wang Man agreed immediately.
Wang Man drove Mu Ran to the most luxurious restaurant in Haigang City. Not only did this restaurant have a history of more than a hundred years, but its decor was very classy. Moreover, the dishes were sumptuous. Not only was it popular among the upper class, there were also many gourmets. In the past, Fu Ting would often come here for business meetings. Several times, when he was drunk, he would call Mu Ran and ask her to come and pick him up.
At that time, she did not think that Fu Ting drinking was bad. She was even glad that she was given the opportunity to take care of him, making her feel that she was needed.
Wang Man stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Mu Ran's eyes to make her regain her senses.
She then pointed at Qin Wei, who had been waiting for a while at the entrance, "Today's meal is on me. However, Qin Wei called me just now and said that he had some business matters to discuss with you, so I gave him the address. We will have a meal together and we will talk about the matter at the same time."
Mu Ran looked at Wang Man again with a helpless expression.
Just as he sat down and the food had been served, Qin Wei took the opportunity to tell Mu Ran a piece of good news.
"I have almost finished discussing with Wang Le. He also has the intention to wok together. Of course, the specific details still need to be further discussed with him. As long as you decide to recruit Wang Le and invest in his project, I have a way to persuade the board of directors to accept it."
Mu Ran's eyes lit up. Fu Ting's appearance yesterday had been too sudden so she couldn't care less about Wang Le and thought that the matter had failed to go through.
"How did you know that I was going to recruit Wang Le?"
She blinked and when she smiled, two beautiful dimples appeared on the corners of her mouth.
"Of course, you are recruiting Wang Le. You can't possibility have just invited him over for a drink, right?" Wang Man glared at Mu Ran. Wasn't her intention too obvious? However, only Qin Wei had the ability to execute such a plan and he was even willing to spend some effort on Mu Ran's behalf.
"That's true. Let me toast to you."
Mu Ran knew very well that recruiting Wang Le was only the first step in her plan. It was to help her gain a firm foothold in the company. After that, she would be able to thoroughly investigate the truth of the incident back then and return justice to her father.
As for Miao Qiang...
There was no rush. She would take one step at a time and let the world discover his true colours. She would then condemn him to hell.
"Why is she here? What bad luck," Wang Man suddenly cursed.
Mu Ran did not understand. She followed Wang Man's gaze and saw Wu Qiong walking over angrily. She did not care that this was a public place. In front of everyone, she picked up the red wine glass on the table and poured it over Mu Ran's head!
Her actions were too fast and too sudden. Even if Qin Wei reacted, it was already too late. The wine had been poured over Mu Ran's head and she looked terrible!
Qin Wei quickly pulled Mu Ran up and hid her behind him.
Wu Qiong glared angrily at Mu Ran, "You little bitch! My son was really unlucky to marry you back then! You just got divorced and you've already hooked up with a new man? Or did you have an affair before? How dare you cheat on him? Watch me break your legs!"
"Lady, please keep your mouth clean." Qin Wei frowned. Even though he was well-mannered, he couldn't help but curse.
