Chapter 372: No Chance
Chapter 372: No Chance
The group looked towards the door and saw a man in a black coat standing there. He appeared to be around 26 or 27 years old, with tough features, thick eyebrows, and big eyes, the kind you’d call ruggedly handsome."Brother Zhuang, you finally made it!" Ning Ze immediately went up to him, criticizing, "We’ve been waiting for you all night."
Zhuang Yi patted him on the shoulder and said helplessly, "No help for it, there was snow in Beijing, and all the airports were closed. I drove here overnight."
"Then why couldn’t we reach you on the phone?" Song Cheng’an stepped forward to ask.
Zhuang Yi got annoyed at this, "My phone ran out of battery, and I forgot to bring a charger cable, so couldn’t charge it. Hurry up and get me a cable."
"That’s just tragic," everyone sighed, disappearing for the night over such a trivial matter, no one else would have done that.
Dong Le immediately went to find a server to ask for a charging cable.
Zhuang Yi glanced around the room at everyone, looking somewhat surprised, "Where’s Old Jiang? Don’t tell me he’s already left."
"Yeah, he just left not long ago." Jian Shaohan laughed, "You guys perfectly missed each other."
Zhuang Yi wasn’t happy to hear this, "Old Jiang’s really something, huh? I drove all the way from Beijing risking life and limb, and he couldn’t even wait a little for me."
"Can’t help it, compared to his woman, you really are insignificant," Lu Hao teased.
"That guy who forgets friends when he sees someone pretty!" Zhuang Yi said angrily.
Suddenly, his expression changed as he looked at Lu Hao, unable to believe it, "What did you just say? Woman? Jiang Jingheng has a woman?"
"Yeah!" Lu Hao nodded.
"Unbelievable, a miracle happened!" Zhuang Yi exclaimed in surprise, "When did this happen?"
"Quite a while ago."
"So I’m the only one left in the dark?" Zhuang Yi grew even more unhappy, "He actually hid something like this from me, some brother he is."
Ning Ze chuckled, "Well, it’s because you don’t often come to Upper City to see us, Brother Zhuang."
"Couldn’t get away from the army," Zhuang Yi said helplessly.
Lu Hao put his arm around Zhuang Yi’s shoulder and said, "Alright, alright, let’s not talk about it. Since you came over tonight, we’ll have a few drinks with you."
"Of course, otherwise I came for nothing. Also, call Old Jiang right away and have him come back," Zhuang Yi snorted.
It’s not right for a guest to come when the host is not around.
"Okay, I’ll go right away," Ning Ze laughed, "but he just left not long ago, it’ll take a while for him to come back."
Zhuang Yi frowned, "Can’t he come back now?"
Dong Le laughed, "Of course not."
"Why not?"
Dong Le patted him on the shoulder and sighed, "Brother Zhuang, you’ll understand once you’re in love."
Zhuang Yi, "..."
He smacked Dong Le on the head, "Are you mocking me?"
Dong Le cried innocence, "I’m just repeating what Brother Jiang usually mocks us with, ask the others if you don’t believe me."
Zhuang Yi turned to look and saw the others nodding.
He was speechless, just a relationship, what’s so showy!
He thought of another purpose for his visit and felt a bit disappointed, "Old Jiang is pretty fast, seems my cousin doesn’t stand a chance."
"Better she doesn’t," Lan Xi looked disdainful.
No matter how bad Mu Yan is, he’s better than Brother Zhuang’s cousin.
Zhuang Yi knew Lan Xi didn’t get along with his cousin and didn’t bother with her.
But Song Cheng’an suddenly asked, "Don’t you have a younger cousin too? Still no news?"
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Yi’s expression turned serious, "No, and I have no idea where she is right now."
"It’s alright, you’ll find her eventually," Song Cheng’an comforted him.
Zhuang Yi didn’t want to dwell on it, picked up his glass and said, "Come on, let’s drink!"
"Cheers, Brother Zhuang, here’s to you."
