Chapter 356 You've upset her man.
While Liang Liangwei and her boyfriend were embracing sweetly, Lisa had been upset at work during the day. Thinking about the man's harsh words to her, she felt resentful. That night, she couldn't help but dig out old "photos" and post a few on her alternate WeChat Moments.
Her purpose in creating this alternate account was very clear: to provoke Liang Liangwei. She only had Liang Liangwei as a friend on WeChat, so only Liang Liangwei could see the content.
Liang Liangwei had never left any trace in her WeChat Moments, so she didn't know if the other person had ever come in to look at it.
But after each post on her WeChat Moments, she would send a message to the other person in the chat window, intentionally or unintentionally showing her presence, hoping to lure the other person into clicking to view it.
After all, young people nowadays browse their WeChat Moments so frequently.
"Ms. Liang, I'll be leaving the Panda Country in a few days. Could we have dinner together tomorrow?"
After the message was sent, a red exclamation mark suddenly appeared on the page, which startled her.
Since she rarely gets deleted from friends lists, she didn't react at first, and only realized a few seconds later that Liang Liangwei had deleted her!
"What...what does she mean by this? Didn't she already consider me a friend? Why would she delete me?" She stood up abruptly from the sofa, her face darkening.
After thinking for a moment, she found Xiang Ting's WeChat and sent her a message: "Perla, Weiwei deleted me for no reason. What's going on?"
Xiang Ting had just finished texting with Liang Liangwei and was drinking the milk that the maid had brought when she received Liang Liangwei's message. She found it inexplicably funny.
How do you know she deleted you? What did you send her?
Lisa: [I kindly asked her to have dinner with me tomorrow, but I couldn't send the message. I just found out she deleted me. I don't know what I did to upset her.]
You didn't upset her, you upset her man! He's the one who deleted you!
She had been resentful all night for Lisa using her against innocent people, and was worried about how to get along with Lisa in the future, so she was naturally in a bad mood.
Why did you invite her to dinner? Rivals are bound to be hostile; how can you possibly eat?
Lisa: [I want to confront her and ask her why she stole my boyfriend, otherwise I won't be able to swallow this anger when I go back to China.]
Before tonight, Xiang Ting might have been fooled by her, but now, she was extremely annoyed by these remarks.
I don't understand how Lisa could lie so blatantly!
How can you say that a man who never belonged to you was stolen?
Before Xiang Ting could figure out how to reply, Lisa sent another message: "Could you ask her out again? I'll treat you to lunch tomorrow. You know Huacheng well, so you can book the restaurant for me."
Xiang Ting: [I'm sorry, I've been very busy these past few days. I've been accompanying my husband to various events every day. Tomorrow I'm going to an auction, the day after tomorrow to a cocktail party, and the day after that I have something else to do.]
When Lisa saw her reply, her brows furrowed deeply.
What a coincidence that everything is going on!
But she didn't have much time left. Yan Zhixu told her to leave the day after tomorrow, and her mother called, sternly telling her to go back as soon as possible. She could only delay for a day or two at most.
Lisa: [Can you help me figure out a way to ask her out? Just once.]
Xiang Ting: [Regarding that time I arranged it for you, I had actually promised my husband I would accompany him to an opening ceremony, but I couldn't go that day, and he was still angry with me. I really can't make him unhappy again, I'm so sorry~]
After all, Lisa and she had known each other for many years. Unless absolutely necessary, she didn't want to break off relations with her, so she could only try to minimize contact in the future.
Behind him, Wen Ruixing finished his work, put down the electronic device in his hand, leaned over and hugged her, kissed her cheek, and asked, "Who were you chatting with? Aren't you going to drink your milk?"
Xiang Ting showed him the chat history and said helplessly, "He's asking me to meet up with Weiwei again."
Wen Ruixing skimmed through the text, then frowned: "She hasn't given up yet?"
Xiang Ting: "She said she wanted to ask her out for dinner tomorrow, but I've already declined."
Wen Ruixing: "You're being too tactful. You should have just pointed it out directly and made her back down."
Xiang Ting sighed, "We've been classmates for several years, and we'll see each other again in the future. I don't want things to fall apart."
Wen Ruixing disagreed, but seeing the helplessness on his wife's face, he didn't say much, only saying, "Then be careful and don't let yourself be led by the nose again."
Xiang Ting: "I know, I won't be so silly again."

Lisa keenly sensed the change in Xiang Ting's attitude. Although she didn't know the reason, she didn't press the matter further that night.
The next morning, instead of going to the company, she drove to the mall and went to Xiang Ting's coffee shop.
Xiang Ting really likes this coffee shop and visits it two or three days a week.
She didn't expect to see him when she came here, since he said last night that he was going to attend the opening ceremony today and might not be here.
She's just here to confirm something.
I browsed around another cake shop on the same floor for a while, observing the coffee shop from a distance. It was almost 11 o'clock, and Xiang Ting was nowhere to be seen. It seemed that she really wasn't coming today.
She bought some cakes at the cake shop and a coconut latte at the coffee shop. She took a picture and sent it to Xiang Ting.
I was shopping today and passed by your coffee shop, so I went in and bought a coffee. I heard you guys talking about coconut lattes the other day, and they sounded really good, so I decided to try one today.
Xiang Ting's pupils contracted slightly when she received the WeChat message.
There was no other reason than that she had arranged to have lunch alone with Liang Liangwei today. They chose a restaurant in the mall because it was close to Liang Liangwei's company.
She arrived early and was walking towards the restaurant where she had made a reservation. Liang Liangwei was still at work and hadn't arrived yet.
She put down her phone, glanced around instinctively, and felt a little guilty.
I was terrified of bumping into Lisa while we were walking and getting pulled into having dinner with her, and then Liang Liangwei would happen to show up too, which would be really awkward...
After reading it, she laughed at herself for being a coward. Her coffee shop wasn't even on the same floor as where she was now, so what was there to be afraid of?
But just in case, she quickened her pace and soon entered the restaurant.
As for the news, let's just pretend we haven't seen it yet.
She chose a Cantonese restaurant. After entering, the waiter led her to a seat, and she asked to sit as far inside as possible so that people passing by outside wouldn't disturb her.
Many restaurants in the mall are semi-open, with two doors, one in front and one in back. The exterior decoration is at most separated by a glass wall, and some don't even have any barriers at all, with the dining tables directly facing outwards.
The Cantonese restaurant she went to belonged to the latter category, which is why she requested a table further inside, hoping that decorative flowers and wooden shelves could block her view.
The waiter indeed found her a spot that wasn't easily visible from the outside.
Twenty minutes later, Liang Liangwei arrived and sat down opposite her.
"Sorry, I'm late."
Xiang Ting: "It's nothing, I just came early because I had nothing else to do. I brought you a latte with sugar."
She handed over one of the two lattes she had just brought from the shop, thankful that she had left the coffee shop early, otherwise she would have run into Lisa.
But to her surprise, after Lisa sent her the photos taken at the coffee shop, an employee said to her, "You're a friend of our boss, right? I saw you chatting with our boss the other day."
Lisa smiled dismissively: "Yes, we are friends."
Employee: "What a coincidence, our boss just left the store 10 minutes ago. If you had come earlier, you would have run into her."
Lisa was taken aback: "Your boss's wife just arrived? Where is she?"
Employee: "He said he had made an appointment with a friend to have dinner at a restaurant in the mall, and he's on his way to meet them now."
