Chapter 324: A Fake Friendly Atmosphere
Seeing this female bodyguard so respectful to me, I immediately remembered that Ferena told me that those who were once loyal to her mother have now sworn allegiance to her. So, the change in the attitude of this female bodyguard towards me is also because of this. Thinking of this, I not only admire Ferena a little. I don’t know what methods she used to conquer even her mother’s closest person. From this we can see that she said that she no longer has to be afraid of her mother’s opposition, and she can even ignore her mother’s opinions and do whatever she wants. She is really not talking big.
Under the leadership of this female bodyguard, Tang Xiaoru and I walked into the double-row door at the innermost part of the corridor. There was a well-decorated private room. I saw Ferena sitting at the round table in the middle. As soon as she saw us in, she immediately stood up and greeted me and Tang Xiaoru with a smile: "Miss Tang, Mr. Dai, are you here?" Huh? Did I hear that right? Ferena actually called me Mr. Dai? Tang Xiaoru seemed a little surprised when he heard Ferena's name to me.
After looking at me, he immediately said to Ferena: "Miss Lena invites us and our husbands to dinner, how dare we not come? But... I don't know what else can Miss Lena teach you besides eating?" Ferena smiled, raised her hand and signaled, and said: "Please sit down, Sister Jian, help save the coats of the two guests." When the female bodyguard heard this, she immediately said, smiled and came over, signaling Tang Xiaoru and I to take off the coat and hand it to her.
While taking off my coat, I turned around and glanced around, but I didn't see the other female bodyguard of the twins. I remember that one of the twins was called Xiaoyi by Wei Binglan, and now the one is called Sister Jian by Ferena. Could it be that their names are just the word Jianyi? Of course, I am not very interested in these twins, and what their names are not what I care about. After taking off the coat and handing them to her, I focused on Ferena. While sitting down at the round table with Tang Xiaoru, I thought to myself: Ferena suddenly called me Mr. Dai in front of my wife. Could it be that she intentionally made Tang Xiaoru think that she had planned to withdraw from the competition and no longer had her hostile to my wife?
After sitting down, a waiter came in and poured tea and handed us water. Ferena sat back to her original position and said to Tang Xiaoru with a smile: "Ms. Tang, I treat you to dinner today, mainly to apologize to you and Mr. Dai for my impoliteness two days ago. I hope that Miss Tang can forgive my recklessness and accept my apology, okay?" When Tang Xiaoru heard this, she became a little strange. She looked back at me, then smiled at Ferena, "Why is Miss Lena so polite? I can't understand it all at once."
Ferena sighed and said, "Anyway, I came to the door that day and said something I shouldn't say to Miss Tang. Now, I regret it. Whether Miss Tang can understand or not, I hope you don't have any prejudice against me because of this."
Tang Xiaoru blinked, laughed, and immediately turned her head and whispered in my ear: "What's going on? What medicine is sold in Ferena's gourd?"
I had no choice but to sigh. Although I knew that Ferena was really confused by her, I couldn't say anything at this time, so I shook my head and said, "I don't know, you can just watch and deal with it yourself."
Tang Xiaoru glared at me, then turned around and said to Ferena: "So, Miss Rena is not going to fight me?"
Ferena actually nodded, sighed quietly, and said, "I already understand that Dai Yong...he can't love me anymore. I'm destined to fail in this competition. Since that's the case, why should I stay persistent? Miss Tang, if you don't mind, let's make peace? Let's be friends, is it okay?"
“Be friends?”
After hearing this, Tang Xiaoru seemed to want to laugh but couldn't, and her expression was very strange. However, she did not raise any questions, but instead said with a smile: "That's good. Miss Rena is so sensible. It's too late to welcome us." Ferena nodded and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, let's have a meal. I hope that after this meal, the previous unhappiness will be eliminated."
As she said that, she raised her hand and signaled that the female bodyguard, whom she called Jian, immediately ordered the waiter to serve. Then, plates of exquisite and luxurious dishes were served in a flowing water, and the whole round table was immediately filled with. The female bodyguard also personally opened a bottle of red wine for us. According to Ferena, this was a bottle of Lafite from 1982, which seemed very expensive. I don't understand anyway. On tonight, I made up my mind not to speak casually, so I let the two women perform.
Actually, I understand very well in my heart. Not to mention that Tang Xiaoru would not believe Ferena's sincerity, even Ferena herself probably didn't expect Tang Xiaoru to believe it. But the women are so strange. In a blink of an eye, these love rivals were talking and laughing at the dinner table, as if they were old friends for many years.
After drinking a few sips of wine, eating a few sips of food, and chatting hypocritically for a while, Tang Xiaoru suddenly changed the topic and asked Ferena: "Miss Lena, I heard that your father and your mother have immigrated to the United States and have gone to live there?"
As soon as Ferena was stunned, she immediately turned her eyes to look at me. Then, she smiled and said, "Is it Dai Yong who told you? Will he... tell you everything?"
Tang Xiaoru smiled proudly and said, "Basically, we are in a good relationship, and he never hides anything from me."
"Yeah?"
Ferena's expression began to become a little unnatural. She immediately picked up the wine glass and took a sip, concealed her stiff expression, and said, "I didn't expect that Miss Tang was still so concerned about my father. Yes, about half a month ago, my parents had already settled in the United States. If there was nothing big, I'm afraid they wouldn't come back." As she said that, Ferena secretly glanced at me, and her eyes seemed to say: Your wife cared about my father in front of you, and you, a husband, weren't angry at all?
I had to smile bitterly, thinking that it is natural for my daughter to care about her father, what's so angry about me?
Tang Xiaoru naturally knew that I would not be angry, so she sighed and said, "When I was working under your father, he treated me very well and took good care of me. I wanted to repay him if I had the opportunity, but I didn't expect that he had gone so far. Oh! With your mother's misunderstanding of me, I'm afraid there will be no chance in this life!"
Ferena frowned and said, "Old man? My father, he is not old yet?"
Tang Xiaoru said: "I am not saying that he is old, but a kind of honor for his elders. Your father... is like a father in my heart, and I am very special... grateful to her."
Ferena's eyes secretly glanced at me again, with a hint of doubt in her eyes, as if asking: What's going on? What does your wife mean by saying this?
But I already understood that Tang Xiaoru told Feirena in a vain way that the relationship between her and her father was not like a man and a woman, but similar to the relationship between her daughter and her father. In fact, they were father and daughter, but Tang Xiaoru was not good at saying this directly because of the oath she had made to her mother. But Feirena didn't want it, so she felt incredible.
At this time, I felt that the opportunity had come. I, who had been silent, immediately said, "Ferena, you may not know that your father has always treated my wife like a daughter. There is no relationship between them that everyone thinks. You can't believe me, but don't you believe in your own father yet?"
Before Ferena could speak, she saw Tang Xiaoru suddenly stretching out a hand and gently put it on her left wrist. Her expression was very serious and said in a sincere tone: "Miss Lena, believe me, please believe your father. He is an upright and kind person. He has never done anything to be sorry for you and your mother in his life."
Ferena was a little moved and said, "Really...really?"
Tang Xiaoru nodded solemnly and said in a more emphasis: "Heaven and earth can testify!"
Ferena seemed not to know what to do, so she bit her lips desperately. After a long time of silence, she squeezed out a smile and said, "I won't talk about this anymore. Come on, I'll give you a cup. I hope we will forget all the unpleasantness and become good friends in the future."
As she said that, she raised her glass and signaled to me. I sighed in my heart, knowing that this alone was not enough to convince Ferina. So, I touched Tang Xiaoru's legs under the table, indicating that it would be better to tell the truth directly than to tell the truth.
Although Tang Xiaoru understood, she ignored it. She just picked up the wine glass and smiled and said, "Okay, after doing this, we forgot all the unhappiness we had before."
These two women started to perform hypocritically again. I was extremely depressed and stood up and walked out of the private room on the excuse of going to the bathroom. What’s funny is that the female bodyguard hurriedly followed me and said to me very attentively: "Mr. Dai, you may not be familiar with this place, so I'll take you there."
I had nothing to do, so I nodded and signaled her to lead the way. Just as I had just walked out a few steps, I suddenly heard the female bodyguard whisper to me: "Mr. Dai, my sister and I were involuntarily in the past. Please forgive me for your offense. In addition, please rest assured Mr. Dai, I will definitely support you and our lady to get back together. If there is anything I need to do, just give me an order."
I laughed and stood up and looked at the female bodyguard with a very different attitude from the previous one. I originally wanted to say something to her, but then I thought about it and felt it was unnecessary. So I shook my head and continued to walk forward.
Actually, I didn't feel like I was going to the bathroom. I just felt depressed and came out to breathe. I hid in the bathroom and smoked a cigarette, and then returned to the private room. As soon as I entered, I was surprised to see that Ferena and Tang Xiaoru both looked straight and had a good atmosphere just now, but were glaring at each other.
