Chapter 285: Enemies on a Narrow Road, the Scumbag Appears Again

Jiang Baobao couldn't think of any good ideas for a moment, so she had to think on her feet and say, "Xiao Tang! How about I make it up to you now? I'll treat you to dinner tonight! You can eat whatever you want! I'll give you your birthday gift in the next couple of days; is there any makeup or a bag you've been wanting lately? I'll buy it for you!"

Jiang Baobao rattled off a long list of remedial plans, her tone as sincere as it could possibly be.

No sooner had she finished speaking than she heard someone on the other end of the phone burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha, in light of how sincere you are, I'll let you off the hook today! I was just teasing you, why are you so nervous for real?"

As Cai Xiaotang spoke, she typed a string of addresses into her phone and sent it to Jiang Baobao's phone.

"I've already booked the place for dinner, just don't be late. You don't need to buy a cake either, I'm on a diet lately!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Baobao finally let out a heavy sigh of relief and couldn't help but retort indignantly, "Then why were you so serious just now! I thought you were actually angry..."

Cai Xiaotang immediately interrupted with a laugh: "How could I be angry with you? I know you've been busy as hell lately, with so many messy things bothering you every day, which is why I booked the restaurant in advance. Besides, you've never forgotten my birthday before, so it's understandable today, right? How about it? Am I not very thoughtful?"

"Yes, yes, you are the most thoughtful. See you in a bit then, I happen to be out, so I'll head over now."

As Jiang Baobao spoke, she quickly located the address Cai Xiaotang had sent and stepped on the gas pedal.

One hour later—

The two of them arrived at the restaurant entrance almost at the same time.

"Wow, we are just too in sync, we actually arrived at the same time!"

Seeing Jiang Baobao get out of the car at the restaurant entrance, Cai Xiaotang immediately went to greet her in high spirits.

Jiang Baobao hurriedly held the small bag in her hand high up and stuffed it into Cai Xiaotang's hands.

"Here, time was a bit tight, but I think you'll like this gift."

"You really prepared a gift?" Cai Xiaotang took the bag with a look of surprise, gave it a quick glance, and then suddenly hugged Jiang Baobao tight!

"My god! You really splurged today! You actually bought me this!"

Cai Xiaotang's face was full of excitement. As she spoke, she hurriedly let go of Jiang Baobao and pulled a small square box out of the little bag.

The lid of the box opened to reveal a beautiful crystal bracelet inside.

It was a style the two of them had looked at together the last time they went shopping. Because the price was five digits, it was truly a bit painful to the wallet, and after seeing it, Cai Xiaotang had mentioned it several times but couldn't bring herself to buy it.

Jiang Baobao had just remembered this on the spur of the moment, so she had rushed to the store to buy it.

"Wow... it's really super pretty... you actually remembered!"

Cai Xiaotang quickly put the bracelet on her wrist and began to admire it, unable to put it down.

The money in her account was enough to buy countless bracelets like this.

It was just that all that money belonged to the Mu Family, and she wasn't willing to touch a single cent of it. All these years, she had relied entirely on herself, which was why she was occasionally a bit strapped for cash.

Watching her happy expression, Jiang Baobao's own mood couldn't help but improve significantly, and she teased amusingly, "Alright, wait until you sit down to admire it slowly. Aren't we here to eat? Do you intend to let me eat standing at the door?"

"Oh right! Let's eat first! Order whatever you want today! Even if you order a Manchu Han Imperial Feast, I won't feel the pinch!"

Cai Xiaotang giggled and pulled Jiang Baobao's hand as they walked into the restaurant.

This was a restaurant specializing in Cantonese cuisine, and the entire layout of the restaurant had a somewhat antique and elegant flavor.

Upon entering, Cai Xiaotang gave her name directly, and after the waiter confirmed it, they led the two of them toward a corridor.

They then stopped at the entrance of the corridor and made a gesture of invitation.

"Miss, your private room is at the very end. There is a menu on the table. If you want to order, just press the call button on the wall, and someone will come to serve you."

"Okay." Cai Xiaotang nodded, and while pulling Jiang Baobao toward the inside, she chatted idly: "You have to eat a lot today, try to finish it all in one meal and gain five pounds tomorrow..."

"Cai Xiaotang! I'm not a pig! How could I eat that much!"

Jiang Baobao replied, caught between laughter and tears.

No sooner had she finished speaking than she suddenly heard the door of the private room next to them being pulled open by someone!

The two of them subconsciously paused their steps for a moment.

A man in a suit and leather shoes walked out of the private room, looking at the two of them with a strange expression.

Upon seeing the other person's face clearly, Jiang Baobao was also stunned, and her expression became somewhat subtle for a moment.

"Baobao, let's go, what's wrong?"

Cai Xiaotang didn't understand and tugged at Jiang Baobao, who was frozen in place.

Jiang Baobao hurriedly came back to her senses, abruptly withdrew her gaze, and intended to pretend that nothing had happened and continue walking forward with Cai Xiaotang.

But she didn't expect that in the next second, the man would actually block their path directly!

"Chen Zihao, what are you doing?"

Jiang Baobao frowned sharply and looked at the man in front of her with displeasure.

Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaotang was also stunned. She looked at Jiang Baobao with confusion and asked, "Chen Zihao? Who is that? Is he someone you know?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than she saw the man in front of them, whose expression had been stiff, flash a hint of annoyance.

"You are Cai Xiaotang?"

Chen Zihao pushed up his glasses and looked Cai Xiaotang up and down.

Cai Xiaotang was immediately very annoyed by his gaze and retorted unceremoniously, "Yes, I am Cai Xiaotang. May I ask who you are?"

Her tone was blunt, carrying a heavy scent of gunpowder.

Jiang Baobao hurriedly tugged at Cai Xiaotang's sleeve and whispered into her ear, "He is the one from last time, the one I went on a blind date for you..."

"Ah?" Cai Xiaotang was stunned for a moment, feeling speechless.

So this guy was that weirdo from last time!

He looked decent enough on the surface...

Cai Xiaotang muttered to herself, and thinking of the description Jiang Baobao had given her last time, her eyes couldn't help but fill with a bit of disdain.

"Sir, do you have something to say? If not, please don't stand here."

Cai Xiaotang couldn't be bothered to waste words with the other party and looked at the person in front of her with a face full of annoyance.

In the next second, however, she saw the other party actually curl the corners of his lips slightly.

Then he smiled, thinking he looked very handsome, and said in a low voice, "I have always been curious about what kind of person Miss Cai is. Now that I see you with my own eyes, my curiosity is finally satisfied. Looking at it now, perhaps it was a good thing that we didn't meet that day."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Cai Xiaotang heard the other person's sarcastic tone and was instantly furious.

Jiang Baobao also spoke up, "Chen Zihao, please mind your language. We are not familiar with you, so please move aside."
