Yan Xia made as if to walk inside, but Fang Jiangyi blocked her way.
"Yan Xia, wait a moment."
Yan Xia looked up at him in confusion.
Fang Jiangyi peeked inside through the glass part of the private room door, frowned and said, "I'm really sorry. You know about my mother's illness. Peng Shiyi has been very attentive and taking care of her. I don't know how she found this place..."
Following his gaze, Yan Xia saw that Peng Shiyi was already sitting inside the private room, getting along well with the employees.
Yan Xia understood his uneasiness. She just laughed and said, "Let her come. She's not a ferocious beast."
With that, she pushed open the door and walked in.
The moment the door was pushed open, everyone's attention was drawn to her. In fact, many people had been waiting for this moment, with a schadenfreude attitude.
After all, Yan Xia was Fang Jiangyi's rumored girlfriend, and Fang Jiangyi had always been very attentive to her. Peng Shiyi was Fang Jiangyi's ex-girlfriend. Fang Jiangyi had publicly admitted their relationship. Although she was nominally an ex-girlfriend, they had remained entangled over the years.
Now that the rumored girlfriend and the ex-girlfriend were in the same place with the person involved, of course they were excited and wanted to watch the show for free and have some fun.
After three years, Peng Shiyi's eyes met Yan Xia's again. Her expression froze on her face.
Her persistent pursuit over the years had received no response. Lu Qianzhou's final blow to the Peng family was fatal. She had almost lost everything because of this woman named Cheng Yanxia. And during the three years when Fang Jiangyi had hidden her, she didn't know what they had experienced in another unknown place.
Everything that belonged to her had been taken away by this sudden woman. She had even seen the news that this woman had attracted both Lu Qianzhou and Fang Jiangyi to pick her up from work downstairs of Shengshi. The two men had been jealous of each other, attracting much attention and stealing the show.
But she couldn't show her resentment and jealousy on her face. The more Fang Jiangyi owed her and the more his mother relied on her, the more chances she would have.
Someone suggested, "General Manager Cheng, we've been waiting for you for a long time. We haven't heard you sing yet. Come on and show us your talent. Let us have a taste."
"Yes, General Manager Cheng is a returnee from a famous university. She can do everything. There are many skills that we don't know about. Just sing a song for us to open our eyes."
Yan Xia smiled and said, "I can't sing. I'm afraid I'll scare everyone if I open my mouth."
"General Manager Cheng, don't decline. It's rare for us to get together and have fun."
Everyone joined in the coaxing. Peng Shiyi just drank quietly on the side, her eyes fixed on Fang Jiangyi.
Yan Xia knew that she couldn't avoid this, so she might as well finish singing earlier. She simply got up and ordered an English song for herself. As the accompaniment started, someone handed her the microphone, and Yan Xia sang softly.
"What would I do without your smart mouth
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out
Got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down
……
My head's underwater
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you……"
She naturally knew that everyone was coaxing her with the intention of watching a show because of Fang Jiangyi. Peng Shiyi had come uninvited and got along so well with these employees. It showed that she had come to Shengshi many times. Didn't she once declare her sovereignty?
Now she was also involved in a rumor with Fang Jiangyi. The appearance of the rumored girlfriend and the ex-girlfriend at the same time was exactly the time to watch a good show.
Yan Xia sang the song absent-mindedly.
Lu Qianzhou's sudden appearance tonight had disrupted her original plan. She couldn't approach Long Tao when Lu Qianzhou was around, so she had to give up this opportunity and wait for the next time to approach Long Tao.
Yan Xia's voice was low and gentle, like a voice kissed by an angel. Music had the power to touch people's hearts. Everyone listened quietly, and many people even sang along silently.
Finally, she finished singing a song. Everyone in the private room clapped and cheered, and the applause rang out one after another.
Someone coaxed her to sing another song. Yan Xia refused with a smile, "No, I've been under a lot of work pressure recently. My throat is a bit uncomfortable. Next time."
She stuffed the microphone into a colleague's hand and took the opportunity to drill into a corner. She lowered her head to look at her phone and sent a message to Shangguanyao to question him.
"Why didn't you tell me in advance that Lu Qianzhou would also come tonight? I almost got caught by him."
If she hadn't called her colleagues to have a small gathering together, it would have been hard to explain if Lu Qianzhou had seen her here tonight.
Shangguanyao must have been busy and didn't reply to her immediately.
Unconsciously, the people in the private room were divided into several groups. One group was singing, some were gathering together to eat, and others were gathering around the table to play games.
A female colleague enthusiastically pulled her to the table to play games. "General Manager Cheng, come and play with us. You and General Manager Fang organized this gathering. How can you hide aside and play with your phone all the time?"
But Fang Jiangyi and Peng Shiyi were also there. Obviously, they were deliberately pulling her over to watch a show.
Yan Xia relaxed her tone. "What are we playing?"
A colleague said, "Everyone knows how to play the bottle game, right? Whoever the bottle points to is the one. The person the bottle points to flips a coin to decide whether it's truth or dare. The person who was selected last decides the punishment for the next person. It's simple, right? We have to say in advance that we're all here to have fun. No getting angry."
A female colleague asked, "What if someone can't do it?"
"If you can't do it, you have to punish yourself by drinking ten glasses of beer."
Everyone had no objections. Yan Xia wasn't really in the mood to play games anyway, but she was inexplicably pulled over.
Six or seven people gathered together to spin the bottle. The first one the bottle pointed to was Peng Shiyi. When she flipped the coin, it was heads, which meant dare.
Women were always the most gossipy, and the requests they made were always very exciting.
So the female colleague suggested, "Send a message to the person with the latest call record in your phone contact list saying, 'I love you', and see what the other person will reply."
Peng Shiyi hesitated a bit. Amid the coaxing of everyone, she took out her phone and opened the contact list. The latest call record showed that it was a call to Fang Jiangyi.
It was the call she made to him that afternoon when Fang Jiangyi's mother fell ill, asking him to come back quickly.
Unexpectedly, the person involved was right here. Suddenly, the few people gathered around fell silent.
Finally, Peng Shiyi herself laughed and said, "Since the person is here and knows it's truth or dare, it's not interesting. Then I'll just say it directly. Let's quickly start the next round."
After saying that, she said to Fang Jiangyi at a very fast speed.
"I love you."
After saying this, without giving everyone time to react, she lowered her head and picked up the bottle.
"It's time for the next round. I'll spin."
The bottle rolled around for several times in the silence and finally pointed at Yan Xia.
The two arch - enemies had met like this. Everyone knew there would be a good show, so they didn't say a word.
"Since you've chosen to play, General Manager Cheng should be able to play it well. If I ask something offensive to General Manager Cheng, you won't get angry, right?"
