Chapter 58 Parting on bad terms
According to the address sent by Chen Qian, Gu Yan kept her appointment.
The place was in a suburban area, with fresh air and green plants around as well as several villas nearby. It was a good place for health.
Gu Yan did up her hair and went in.
The waiter at the door wore a standard courtesy smile with his eight teeth, and nodded politely.
"Hello, I am looking for Ms. Chen Qian, and we have a reservation here."
"Okay, this way please."
The waiter guided her. After a few steps, a woman came into her sight.
She was in a black full dress and her hair was gathered casually behind her ears. The Swarovski swan necklace made her neck look slenderer. Sitting beside the table, she was scanning a magazine quietly with extraordinary female temperament, which attracted more attention around.
Gu Yan’s eyes didn’t move since she saw her. She had a hunch that the woman was the one she was looking for.
Expectedly, the waiter stopped, "This lady is the one you are waiting for. Enjoy your meal!"
Then he left.
Chen Qian heard the words and raised her head, "It was Gu Yan? More beautiful with temperament than the photo!"
"Hello, nice to see you!" Chen Qian stood up and reached out her hand.
Mo Yichen’s fiancée… looked good, but Gu Yan felt something wrong made her a little disgusted at this woman subconsciously.
She shook Chen Qian’s hand with some hesitation, "You must be Chen Qian."
"Yes, it’s me. Have a seat and order something. This French restaurant is our favorite place. Yichen and I often have dinner here."
As soon as they met, the atmosphere became tense. Gu Yan wanted to look at Chen Qian’s eyes, but she failed. Chen Qian just scanned the menu.
"Something you dislike?"
"No."
After roughly scanning, Chen Qian called the waiter to order several dishes skillfully.
Then it became silent again. Neither of them would like to speak first.
Staring by Chen Qian, Gu Yan felt the meeting was between a wife and the other woman!
"I’ve heard that Ms. Chen misunderstood me." Gu Yan began to break the silence.
Chen Qian showed her an enigmatic smile, as if she was laughing at Gu Yan’s impatience.
"Misunderstanding? Maybe not. Don’t you think you and Yichen are too close?"
Gu Yan kept herself calm, and Chen Qian’s words hit her, "Maybe it is true that Mo Yichen has a crush on me."
Then she said, "Well, Ms. Chen should be clear that there’s nothing between us."
At this very moment, the waiter brought the meal up and gracefully poured the wine.
"Aperitif! Come on, drink it to
A nameless fury rose from Gu Yan’s heart. She raised the glass and bottomed it up with anger.
Then she put the glass on the table at once, ignoring the faint ridicule from Chen Qian.
"Hmmm…" The waiter hesitated and didn’t know what to say. He thought a while but said nothing.
Gu Yan looked at him confusedly, "What’s up? Did I drink like a fish?"
At this time, the woman sitting oppositely spoke in a faint voice, "Gu Yan, the aperitif cannot be bottomed up. No matter how good it is, you have to keep some at the bottom. By the way, don’t you know that the wine should be sipped?"
Chen Qian’s cynicism embarrassed Gu Yan, and then she immediately understood the waiter’s expression.
"Well, since you are not familiar with these French table manners, we don’t need the waiter either. Let’s help ourselves."
Chen Qian waved at the waiter.
The waiter didn’t ever encounter such a situation. Holding the bottle in his hand, he didn’t know what to do.
Nevertheless, sitting on the chair, Gu Yan was a bit nervous too. She knew nothing about the table manners, and the woman opposite seemed to embarrass her.
Then Gu Yan held herself upright, "It doesn’t matter. You don’t need to stay here. Our meeting is not for a meal, right?"
When Gu Yan saw Chen Qian’s provocative eyes again, she was more confident.
Realizing the fierceness between the two women, the waiter hurriedly left to avoid getting into trouble.
"Well, you don’t have to beat around the bush. Just say what you want." Gu Yan leaned back in the chair with her arms folded. She lost the desire to eat.
She knew very well that she was in a meeting with danger.
"Aha, Ms. Gu is smart and bright. No wonder Yichen is fascinated by you."
Chen Qian did not say anything nice to her.
"What did she mean? Did she mean I seduce Mo Yichen?" Gu Yan thought.
"I had an affair with your fiancé? I thought you must be a bright one with such social status, but now it seemed I was wrong."
"Don’t deny it any more, Gu Yan! Didn’t you know your big deal was from Mo Group? It was that Mo Yichen did it. And when you moved out of the apartment, he followed you and waited for you downstairs. So, nothing between you? Can I talk to you when you two have sex?"
Chen Qian didn’t want to waste time on her and said these words with hatred.
…
"Did she mean Qi Fei’s order?"
Gu Yan was in a daze for a moment, which made Chen Qian be sure about this, "She is guilty. It seems that all what I said is true. It is disgusting for her pretense to be naive."
"Hey, you were married. And I don’t care about your behaviors before. But if someone like you make trouble with anyone around me, I won’t bear it. Do not challenge my patience." Chen Qian warned Gu Yan, stroking her newly-made fingernails.
"Chen Qian! I have repeated it for many times. I haven’t done anything. Instead of warning me, you’d better go back to educate your fiancé. After all, it takes two to make a quarrel, isn’t it?"
Gu Yan couldn’t stand it. She stood up quickly and eloquently defended herself.
The people around made a sidelong glance when they heard the noise.
Chen Qian felt constrained and uneasy with her face turning white and then red. She wanted to say something more, but the gaze around her made her zip her lip.
