Chapter 722: Something's Off with Brother Di
At Nanshan Cemetery.
A row of young people dressed in black stood together.
In front of the tombstone, Ma Xiaoshuai and Song Linlin knelt on the ground, watching their mother burn paper money, then both sides kowtowed.
Song Linlin hadn't officially married Ma Xiaoshuai, but she performed the rituals very seriously.
Everyone understood.
After going through this, Ma Xiaoshuai and Song Linlin's relationship had become almost unbreakable.
When they get married in the future, nothing will be too difficult for these two to overcome.
Standing behind them, Chen Fan and the others bowed slightly, paying their respects three times.
Helping his mother stand up, Ma Xiaoshuai's mom looked up at Chen Fan and the others.
"Thank you all for coming today. On behalf of my late husband, I thank you all. He had a grand departure."
Ma Xiaoshuai quickly said, "Mom, you don't need to thank them. They're all my brothers, even closer than real brothers."
His mother said, "Alright. Now go take good care of your classmates. They've come from far away, you must treat them well, don't be impolite."
Ma Xiaoshuai supported his mother's arm, "I'll take you home first, then I'll go find them."
But his mother shook her head.
"I'm fine, I can go back by myself."
Chen Fan stepped forward at this point, "Auntie, let Xiaoshuai take you home. We'll all be worried otherwise."
Hearing Chen Fan say this, Ma Xiaoshuai's mother finally nodded.
"Ah, alright then."
The group walked down the hill and out of the cemetery, watching Ma Xiaoshuai drive away with his mother.
Chen Fan's gaze swept across the scene. Behind him, Sun Hao's girlfriend Xiaoyu was comforting Song Linlin along with Liu Qianqian. The girl had been wiping away tears since earlier.
Liu Qianqian was the only friend from Dorm 401 who had managed to come. She now worked in the neighboring province.
Across the street, everyone's cars were parked there.
Wu Di was talking to his girlfriend who was sitting in the car. They seemed to be arguing, and Wu Di's expression didn't look good.
Earlier, Wu Di's girlfriend hadn't even gotten out of the car or entered the cemetery.
"Where to next?" Luo Wenjie spoke up and asked.
At a time like this, only Chen Fan could make the decision.
After thinking briefly, Chen Fan said, "Let's find a place to eat first, to welcome Hao-zi, Old Han, and Liu Qianqian who came from far away."
Liu Qianqian smiled, "I don't count as coming from far, but thanks to Boss Chen for treating us."
Chen Fan smiled wryly, "With one sentence you've made it my treat."
Brother Jie laughed, "Among us, you're the only rich one. If you don't treat, who will?"
So the group crossed the road to their cars. Wu Di smiled awkwardly at everyone.
"Where to next?"
"Dinner," Chen Fan glanced into the car and asked quietly.
"Everything okay?"
"It's fine, it's fine," Wu Di waved his hand. "My girlfriend is afraid of cemeteries, she's a bit timid."
Chen Fan didn't ask further, "Do you know any good restaurants?"
"Hey, you've asked the right person. In all of Yunhai, no one knows better than me where to find good food."
Wu Di smiled and waved to everyone, "Get in your cars and just follow me."
So the noisy group got into their cars. Chen Fan drove alone, but Liu Qianqian insisted on bringing Song Linlin along.
On the way, Song Linlin curiously examined Chen Fan's car.
"Boss Chen, what brand is this car?"
"Range Rover."
"What kind of car is Range Rover? It must be expensive, right?"
"It's alright."
"Tsk. I can tell you're not being honest. The interior looks very expensive."
Chen Fan smiled and turned his head to look.
"Miss Liu, what kind of work are you doing now?"
"Sigh, what else can I do? I'm a clerk at a company, making 2,000-3,000 yuan a month. Not enough to live well, but enough not to starve."
Then Liu Qianqian suddenly leaned over with a smile, "Boss Chen, I heard your business is getting bigger and bigger. Do you need professional employees like me? Give me a chance to make a living."
Chen Fan quite appreciated Liu Qianqian's personality and nodded with a smile.
"No problem. With your figure and looks, you're a real beauty. We'd welcome you with open arms."
"Really?" Liu Qianqian immediately got excited.
"So what do you plan to have me do? Do you have any suitable positions?"
Chen Fan joked, "Do you even need to work? With your looks, you could just stand at the entrance of our company and be a beautiful scenery."
"Hmph!"
Liu Qianqian snorted coldly, "So you plan to make me a receptionist."
"But being a receptionist is fine too, as long as you pay me."
Chen Fan thought she was joking, so he played along.
"Actually, it would be a waste of your talents at my company. You should go to Brother Jie's company instead. He's a boss now too. If you go there, Brother Jie would definitely make you part of management."
But Liu Qianqian snorted in annoyance.
"Can we not mention him?"
Chen Fan smiled wryly and shook his head, knowing he had said the wrong thing.
It seems Liu Qianqian's impression of Brother Jie still hasn't improved.
Originally thinking Wu Di would find a high-end star-rated hotel, they were surprised when he led everyone to a restaurant with quite a unique style.
After getting out of the car, Wu Di greeted everyone at the entrance.
"This restaurant specializes in Huaiyang cuisine. The chef's skills are very good. And the manager here is very familiar with me, because our department often has gatherings here. We can get a discount eating here."
Chen Fan stepped inside.
"Since you know them, then you're treating us to this meal."
Wu Di immediately smiled bitterly, "Brother, I only make so much salary a month. It's hard enough supporting myself."
The group walked into the hall, and Luo Wenjie immediately let out a strange cry.
"Tsk tsk, not bad. I didn't expect Yunhai was hiding such a nice place."
He immediately spotted the tall waitresses in the hall, each wearing high heels and red qipao dresses with slits, their snow-white long legs occasionally visible.
He gave Wu Di a knowing look, clearly meaning "you really get me".
But Wu Di pretended not to see and completely ignored him.
Instead, his girlfriend pulled Wu Di aside and asked, "You often come here to eat because the waitresses are pretty, right?"
Wu Di hurriedly explained, "No way. Every time it's decided by the department leaders. I'm just a lowly clerk, how could I make the decisions?"
"Hmph. I bet you have ulterior motives."
Wu Di quickly grabbed her hand, "Darling, believe me, you're the only one in my heart. Other women don't catch my eye at all."
"That's more like it."
With that, his girlfriend waved over a waitress.
"Find us a larger private room and take us there."
"Please follow me."
Chen Fan and Luo Wenjie followed behind, exchanging glances.
They both understood what the other meant.
What's going on with Brother Di?
In the past when dating, he always firmly held the upper hand.
What's the situation today? Is he being completely controlled by her?
Even Liu Qianqian next to them noticed something was off and couldn't help but snicker.
"Did he get so hungry after being dumped that he's not picky anymore?"
Chen Fan quickly gave Liu Qianqian a look, signaling her not to speak carelessly.
"By the way, how is Su Qing doing now?"
Liu Qianqian smiled.
"Why? You're actually asking about Su Qing? Don't tell me you have feelings for her?"
Chen Fan immediately turned and walked away.
He shouldn't have asked that extra question.
