Chapter 207
And behind them, Tang Xin, who had been ignored once again, finally couldn't hold back and completely exploded.
"You two, stop right there!"
"I flew all the way here to see you, what is the meaning of this? You're just leaving me hanging?"
As the dignified Third Miss of the Tang family, she was treated like the moon surrounded by stars wherever she went, and she had never suffered such treatment!
Tang Bingyan turned around calmly and glanced at her: "When are you leaving?"
Tang Xin nearly spat out a mouthful of blood; she pointed at Tang Bingyan and said in a fit of rage:
"I just got here, okay? Is this how you treat guests?"
Tang Bingyan raised her eyebrows slightly: "You know you're a guest?"
"You..." Tang Xin clutched her heaving chest, feeling like her lungs were about to explode from anger.
Tang Bingyan could always step on her trigger points with the most indifferent tone: "I don't care, don't think you can shake me off and act alone today!"
"As you wish."
Tang Bingyan dropped that one sentence and walked into the villa with Xu Tian.
If it weren't for the fact that the old man had been worrying about her health recently, Tang Xin wouldn't have been able to enter the villa at all.
But even for the sake of the old man, the most she would do was not throw her out.
Treating Tang Xin like air was the biggest concession she could make.
"Wife, is this okay?" Xu Tian looked back at Tang Xin, who was fuming with rage.
Tang Bingyan's gaze was slightly cold. Was Xu Tian feeling sorry for Tang Xin because she was suffering a loss at her hands?
However, the next second, Xu Tian said with some disdain: "It's not easy for us to have time for a date alone, isn't a third wheel an eyesore?"
Tang Bingyan: "..."
Why don't you follow the script either?
"Wife, it's been a long time since we've had a candlelight dinner together, just the two of us!"
Xu Tian emphasized: "I finally managed to book a window seat, and it's a couple's seat too; it's so inconvenient to bring Tang Xin along."
"When the time comes and the restaurant staff asks us, how are we supposed to explain? We can't just say she's our daughter, right?"
"A follower, then." Tang Bingyan was as calm as ever.
Upon hearing this, Xu Tian frowned, looking disgusted: "How can there be such an oblivious follower, acting as a third wheel on her boss's date?"
Tang Xin, who was walking behind: "..."
If she didn't lose her temper, did they really think she was a sick cat?!
But thinking about the consequences of truly making Tang Bingyan angry, she pursed her red lips tightly and ultimately didn't dare to say anything.
In the end, Tang Xin, who had suffered so much grievance that she was almost bursting, still stubbornly went out with Tang Bingyan and Xu Tian.
Moreover, in order to outshine Tang Bingyan, she had deliberately dressed herself up in a flashy manner: an off-white, small-fragrance-style socialite jacket paired with an OL shirt and a tight-fitting short skirt, holding a diamond bag worth a million in her hand, and the gemstone in the center of the necklace around her neck was large enough to blind passersby.
In contrast, Tang Bingyan and Xu Tian were just wearing simple-style trench coats; Tang Bingyan was wearing black, and Xu Tian was wearing beige, which happened to match as a couple's outfit.
Tang Xin followed these two, looking as much of an eyesore as possible; she didn't look like a follower at all, but rather like a pet they had brought out.
The harder Tang Xin tried to crush Tang Bingyan, the more forced she looked.
Conversely, even if Tang Bingyan didn't wear makeup and her complexion was a bit pale and sickly, her aloof and cold temperament in every gesture was enough to leave her several streets behind.
Xu Tian's eye twitched slightly as he watched Tang Xin posing in front of him, and he suddenly understood the meaning of the term "eye-searing."
However, although Tang Xin's appearance didn't measure up to Tang Bingyan's, she was still a very eye-catching beauty on the street.
Coupled with the temperament that Xu Tian and Tang Bingyan couldn't hide even if they tried to be low-key, when they appeared at the entrance of the Western restaurant, they still attracted the attention of the diners inside.
Tang Xin felt the amazed gazes of passersby and flipped her hair with some pride. Just as she was planning to show off in front of Tang Bingyan to indicate that those people were actually looking at her, she saw Xu Tian and Tang Bingyan already walking toward their reserved table.
Tang Xin followed them, fuming, only to find there were only two seats.
"Waiter!"
She said angrily to the waiter leading the way: "Didn't you see there are three of us? Hurry up and add a chair for me!"
"Please wait a moment..."
The waiter had never seen three people come to a couple's seat before, so he lowered his head slightly to hide the surprised look in his eyes and quickly retreated.
Soon, Tang Xin's chair was brought over.
She had wanted the waiter to place the chair on Xu Tian's side, but she saw Xu Tian deliberately move his chair outward, not leaving any room for her at all.
In the end, she could only sit on the side, fuming.
Because Xu Tian had already pre-ordered the set meal, and Tang Xin had been added at the last minute, they had to place an additional order.
Of course, those air-freighted fresh ingredients that required advance booking couldn't be ordered.
And Tang Xin had always had very high requirements for food quality, so in the end, she could only casually order a salad and a glass of juice.
Enduring the atmosphere of the two people in front of her being lovey-dovey as if no one else was around, she could be full just from the anger.
However, when the things they ordered were served, Tang Xin suddenly realized she was still too young.
Not only was she full from anger, but this forcibly fed dog food could also make her choke to death!
It's just eating black tiger shrimp, it's not like Tang Bingyan doesn't have hands, Xu Tian, is it necessary for you to peel every single shrimp and put it on her plate!
And can you two not whisper to each other for no reason? Can whispers that I can hear still be called whispers?
Tang Xin finished her meal in incomparable depression, but just when she thought this was the end, she realized she was still too naive...
After the meal, Xu Tian called the waiter to prepare the bill, but the waiter walked over holding a sign.
"We have an activity in our store today; if you pass successfully, there will be prizes. Would you like to participate?"
"What activity?" Tang Xin asked curiously.
"This activity is called 'Heart-to-Heart'; two people have to choose the exact same picture. If you answer correctly five times in a row, you can get a commemorative prize. By the end of the activity, the two guests with the most correct answers can also get a mysterious grand gift."
"Sorry, we don't need it."
Xu Tian saw that Tang Bingyan had no interest, and he wasn't keen on such childish games either.
"Wait, who said we don't need it? I need it!"
Tang Xin stopped the waiter who was about to walk away: "Brother-in-law, play with me!"
"Find someone else." Xu Tian refused without even thinking.
Are you kidding? How could he play this kind of tacit understanding game with another woman in front of Tang Bingyan?
Furthermore, he and Tang Xin weren't close at all, so where would there be any tacit understanding?
It would be very embarrassing if they couldn't answer a single question correctly.
"I don't know anyone else, how am I supposed to play?"
Tang Xin was relentless: "Brother-in-law, for the sake of me running all the way here to visit you, just play with me, okay? And it's just a game, I believe Cousin Bingyan won't mind."
However, at this moment, Tang Bingyan spoke up...
