Chapter 516 - 515, why are you so stingy?
"I’ll go take a call first!" Xu Wendong said to Xiao Ruyan, then turned and entered the bathroom in Ding Yao’s room to answer the call from Chen Qiaomu.
"Do you have time tomorrow afternoon? Come over for a meal!" Chen Qiaomu’s gentle, calm voice came through to Xu Wendong.
Xu Wendong’s lips curled into a bitter smile. If he hadn’t already promised Xiao Ruyan that he’d go home with her tomorrow, he would definitely have accepted Chen Qiaomu’s invitation.
But now.
He could only politely decline, "I have some things to do tomorrow afternoon, how about I come by in the evening?"
"Hmm, see you tomorrow!" Chen Qiaomu didn’t show any emotion or displeasure over Xu Wendong’s refusal. She remained very composed, somewhat similar to Xiao Ruyan. They never expressed their emotions, appearing as if they had no desires or demands, which made interaction quite comfortable.
Returning to the bedroom.
Xiao Ruyan had already left, and Xu Wendong entered the living room, where a dozen or so lavish dishes were placed on the dining table and coffee table.
There was no other way because more than twenty guests were attending Ding Zhicheng’s birthday celebration today, and one table simply couldn’t accommodate that many people, so they had to sit separately by gender.
Just as everyone was taking their seats, Ding Qian began to stir things up again. She said, "Wendong, it’s Uncle’s sixtieth birthday today, and I’ve prepared a case of Wuliangye for him. As Yao Yao’s boyfriend, the gift you prepared should be quite expensive, right?"
In fact, everyone already acknowledged Xu Wendong. The title of honorary dean of the medical college was quite a distinction, and he no longer needed to prove his financial capability with gifts.
