50 Perception
A quiet and secluded high-end restaurant, different location, similar environment, the feeling of disgust remains the same.
Yu Ning, wearing a light-colored sweater and jeans, did not fit in with the solid wood square table with European patterns.
His expression was gentle, with a subtle curve at the corners of his mouth. He was not aggressive, but not flattering either.
"Mr. Cheng, we haven't seen each other for a while."
Cheng Xu held the red wine bottle, slowly stood up, and walked to his side. "Your mind is on someone else, how can I disturb you?"
Yu Ning just smiled and didn't respond.
Cheng Xu slid his left hand slowly along the back of the chair, holding the wine bottle in his right hand, approaching the transparent goblet, "Want some?"
Just before Cheng Xu's hand reached out to Yu Ning's shoulder, the goblet deflected and fell.
"Sorry." Yu Ning's shoulders shifted and he looked at the broken glass on the ground. "It seems that today is not a good day for drinking."
Cheng Xu frowned, sat back opposite him, raised his head and drank half a glass of wine, "Everyone is here, why are you pretending?"
Yu Ning said calmly, "Mr. Cheng, do you have any misunderstanding about me?"
"Yu Ning, if you want me to help him, you should be obedient. If I am happy, I will naturally satisfy your wish." Cheng Xu said disdainfully, "If you continue to play hard to get with me, I'm sorry, I'm not interested."
Yu Ning looked at him calmly, "You really misunderstood me."
Cheng Xu pushed his glasses with his middle finger, his eyes full of mockery, "You contacted me right after something happened to Ji Nanfeng's family, what else is there to pretend?"
Yu Ning tilted his head, "So? Do you think I came to you because of him?"
Cheng Xu took a sip of red wine and asked, "What else?"
"If, as you say, I came here for him, then what is my purpose for him?"
"Like him? Love him? Sympathize with him? Or do you want to save him?" Yu Ning sneered, "If I loved him, I wouldn't have approached you before he was down and out, and I wouldn't have secretly met you behind his back."
"But if I say I don't love him..." Yu Ning took a new goblet and poured himself a full glass of red wine, "But he is like a pug, surrounding me, wagging his tail and saying he loves me, which is also very cute."
Yu Ning picked up the wine glass and touched the edge of the glass with his lips. "It's a pity that the pug has become a stray dog and I'm not even interested in playing with it anymore."
Cheng Xu raised his eyebrows and leaned back in his chair, "Then why did you come to see me?"
Yu Ning shook the full glass, and a small amount of red wine splashed onto the back of his hand, sticking to his pale skin and slowly sliding towards his wrist. "Before I answer your question, let me guess what you think my purpose for coming here is."
"I want to please you, please you, and beg you to help the Ji family overcome difficulties, right?"
Cheng Xu did not admit it, but he did not deny it either.
Yu Ning chuckled, "Mr. Cheng, I know you are smart, but I am not a fool. You hate Ji Nanfeng so much, how could you possibly help him? You will only add insult to injury and make his death even more miserable."
