Wen Ning looked at Tang Xi in surprise. “Xiao Rou, you’re already very outstanding. I’m not a ‘successful career woman’ as you’ve said but just a tomboy.” She paused and said, “And my martial arts were taught by Lu Li. I heard that Qiao Liang is even stronger than Lu Li in this aspect, so you can ask Qiao Liang to teach you.”
Then Wen Ning winked at her naughtily. “I think Qiao Liang must be very happy to teach you martial arts, especially close quarters combat.”
Tang Xi looked at Wen Ning with wide open eyes. She had thought Wen Ning was of a serious kind, so she was surprised at her “blue humor” and couldn’t help her blushing…
Seeing Tang Xi embarrassed, Wen Ning laughed and patted on Tang Xi’s shoulder. “In fact I asked Qiao Liang to call you over to ask you for a favor.”
“Ask me for a favor?” Tang Xi was surprised. Wen Ning would ask her for a favor? And she seemed to really need her help, so she asked, “What can I do for you?”
“Your company’s first fashion show will be held tomorrow, right? Can you give me an invitation card? I really want to attend it.”
Tang Xi was surprised and happy to hear her words. “Sure, you’re my super VIP, so you don’t need an invitation card. I’ll take you into the show field tomorrow.”
She didn’t expect that Wen Ning would like to watch her fashion show and ask her for an invitation card. Wen Ning stood for the Interpol and often appeared in international news. With such a free endorser, she wouldn’t have to worry about the sales of The Queen’s products. Besides… Tang Xi’s eyes had a sly gleam. Her company’s name was The Queen and Wen Ning was just like a queen! That was great!
Wen Ning was glad to see Tang Xi’s reaction. She handed her cell phone to Tang Xi. “Then leave me your cell phone number… I may need your help not only in dressing, but also in other aspects.”
Tang Xi immediately got what Wen Ning meant. She called herself with Wen Ning’s cell phone with a smile. “Okay, I also want to spend more time with you.”
Wen Ning nodded. “Then I’ll be going. See you tomorrow.”
Tang Xi nodded.
After seeing Wen Ning out, Tang Xi went back to the dining table. The dishes had been served and Qiao Liang pulled the chair out for Tang Xi. “Let’s eat breakfast.”
“Yes, eat the food while it’s still warm.” He Wanzhou said, “Rourou, why did that girl call you over? You two seemed to be chatting happily.”
“Yes, Sister Wen Ning wanted to watch my show, which will guarantee my company’s North America market.” Tang Xi said with a smile, “So of course I was smiling happily.”
“North America market?” Ning Yan looked at Tang Xi with a frown. “Didn’t you say she was a senior inspector or something? Was she also a model?”
Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows and rubbed at Tang Xi’s hair. Tang Xi took a bite of the sandwich, drank a mouthful of milk and looked at Ning Yan. “Sister Wen Ning is very famous in North America. She often appears in news and is so much more famous than models. And she also has a lot of fans. You can check it on the Internet. She even has a fan club. I’ve never see any police officer have a fan club except her. She is really awesome.”
“Oh, I remember her.” He Wanyi looked at Tang Xi and said, “Wen Ning is very famous in City A, but she hardly attends social activities. Many people had invited her into their parties, but she always refused. Many people want to curry favor with her, but they can’t even meet her, so many women fawn over her, to her face while speaking ill of her behind her back.”
Tang Xi raised her eyebrows and didn’t speak. That was common. She remembered when she just became Xiao Rou, many people extolled Xiao Jinning to the skies yet belittled her. However, after Xiao Jinning’s true colors were exposed, those people who had helped Xiao Jinning insult her began to fawn over her.
This was how the society ran. She wouldn’t blame those people, nor take them as her friends.
“But Wen Ning seems to be Muqing’s friend.” He Wanyi took a look at Xiao Jing. “You don’t know her?”
Xiao Jing shrugged. “No, but perhaps she knows Yao.”
Yao was so successful in his career and his official rank should be of the same level of senior inspector of the Interpol, so it wasn’t surprising that the two of them knew each other. Besides, Yao often attended international anti-terrorist missions. They must have a lot of chances to meet each other.
But he didn’t know any soldiers personally except for some from his family who served in the military!
“Mukun called me yesterday, saying that he would come to support his little cousin sister.” He Wanzhou suddenly said.
Tang Xi raised her eyebrows and looked at He Wanzhou. “Really? He did?”
She had saved Yang Mukun’s phone number, and the latter also had hers. Why didn’t Yang Mukun directly tell her but tell He Wanzhou that he would come to Paris to support her?
“Don’t take his words seriously. He was bullsh*tting.” Xiao Jing poured a bowl of soup for Tang Xi, handed it to her and said, “Mukun is still receiving my uncle’s devil training. He won’t have a chance to come to watch the show.”
He Wanzhou shrugged. “What I said is true. He called me because he was afraid that the calls would be monitors if he called you guys. His father is searching for him everywhere.” He Wanzhou said and stroked his chin. “Xiao Yao is to blame. If he weren’t that successful, your uncle wouldn’t have been so harsh to his son.”
“Yang Muhua and Yang Mufeng are already soldiers. I wonder why my uncle still insisted on making the other three of his children soldiers. His four sons and one daughter are all soldiers. Is this necessary?” Xiao Jing shook his head.
Qiao Liang said coldly, “You should be glad that he is your uncle not your father.”
Xiao Jing shivered. “Oh, that would be hell!”
Tang Xi raised her eyebrows. “I think it’s not bad to be a soldier. Look at Yao. He is good at martial arts and has a very good sense of commitment. Although he is always busy, he is so reliable.”
Qiao Liang frowned and looked unhappy. He looked at Tang Xi and asked flatly, “So you mean I’m unreliable?”
