Actually, Su Qin felt a sense of guilt towards Bing Tianyi for what she had done last time. After all, she was young and impulsive back then, and her natural personality contributed to the situation. Although nearly three years had passed since that incident, Su Qin still believed it was necessary to personally apologize to Bing Tianyi.
This was one of the reasons why Su Qin and Wang Ziyan came to find Bing Tianyi today.
Seeing Bing Tianyi's reaction, Su Qin felt even more awkward. Once Bing Tianyi finished speaking, Su Qin stepped forward and whispered with a smile, "Brother Bing, I came to invite you out for some fun today. I wonder if you would be willing to join me."
Upon hearing this, Bing Tianyi frowned slightly. He thought to himself that ever since that incident, his connection with Su Qin had basically been severed. Even when he encountered Su Qin on campus, he would ignore her. So what was going on today? Why was she trying to engage him?
However, Bing Tianyi understood one thing: as the saying goes, if you take someone else's hand, you become indebted to them. If he were to foolishly follow Su Qin out for a meal today, what if she made some unreasonable demands later? Wouldn't he end up suffering again? Women’s hearts are as hard to fathom as the depths of the ocean; it was better to be cautious.
After considering this, Bing Tianyi smiled and said, "Sister Qin, if you have something to discuss, we can talk here. Besides, it's not even mealtime yet."
"Hehe, what I mean is to go out and have some fun. We’re all young people; isn’t it fine to go out without eating and just sing or something?" Su Qin said with a rosy smile, looking at Bing Tianyi shyly.
Su Qin knew that her previous actions had likely left a deep-seated issue in Bing Tianyi's heart. She understood that resolving this issue would be quite challenging.
However, if this knot remained untied, Su Qin truly felt she would always be somewhat uneasy. Moreover, she was such good friends with Wang Ziyan; she couldn't let her relationship with Wang Ziyan suffer because of her issues with Bing Tianyi.
As soon as Bing Tianyi finished speaking, Su Qin impulsively reached out and grabbed his wrist without thinking twice. Playfully, she said to Wang Ziyan, "Ziyan, don’t be mad! I’m taking him with me!"
"Go ahead! As long as you can take him away today, do whatever you want," Wang Ziyan replied cheerfully.
Bing Tianyi felt helpless. He tried a few times to break free from Su Qin's grip but found that she held on surprisingly tightly. It felt like a desperate person suddenly clutching a piece of gold that had fallen on the ground and no one wanted.
In this situation, Bing Tianyi could only nod and say, "Alright, I'll go. Is that okay? Just let me go, and I'll walk by myself."
Su Qin, feeling a bit embarrassed after hearing this, immediately released Bing Tianyi and then looked at him with a smile, saying, "Okay then, let's head straight to Red Night City."
Once everything was settled, Bing Tianyi silently lamented to himself, thinking that this girl was quite something, going out to sing in broad daylight. Wasn't that just wasting time? With all this time, wouldn't it be better to do something else?
However, since he had already agreed to her request, he could only follow along.
After getting into the car, just as Old Huang was about to start driving, Wang Ziyan hurriedly approached the car door and smiled at Bing Tianyi, saying, "Can I sit in your car?"
"What's up?"
"I have something I want to talk to you about," Wang Ziyan replied with a smile.
Bing Tianyi frowned and curiously asked, "What is it?"
At this point, Wang Ziyan had already taken a seat in the back row and leaned over the front passenger seat, playfully asking Bing Tianyi, "Have all your previous troubles been resolved now?"
"They have been resolved, but there's something I need to discuss with you," Bing Tianyi sighed helplessly. He understood that while he might not be able to fulfill the promise he made to Mei Yuan years later, he needed to clarify things with Wang Ziyan now.
Noticing the tone of Bing Tianyi's voice at that moment, Wang Ziyan's brows slightly furrowed. Her cute little face was filled with curiosity as her bright eyes fixed on Bing Tianyi. She directly asked, "What is it? Why are you being so mysterious?"
Bing Tianyi sighed again and quietly asked Wang Ziyan, "Do you know who helped me resolve this matter?"
"Isn't it you?" Wang Ziyan furrowed her brows and asked in response.
Bing Tianyi shook his head and said, "No."
Seeing Bing Tianyi's expression, Wang Ziyan had already guessed that this matter was definitely not simple. After realizing this, she immediately asked, "Then who is it?"
"Mei Yuan."
When Bing Tianyi mentioned Mei Yuan's name, Wang Ziyan's expression changed dramatically. With a tone full of doubt, she curiously asked Bing Tianyi, "Who did you say? Mei Yuan? How is that possible? I heard from my father that the money you need is at least over a hundred million. How could she help you with that?"
Faced with Wang Ziyan's series of questions, Bing Tianyi had nothing much to say and could only smile bitterly, "That's how it is. Even though I didn't believe that Mei Yuan could handle this at the time, the fact proved that she did."
Wang Ziyan was stunned, sitting there in a daze. After a moment, she finally asked, "Why would Mei Yuan help you? Doesn't she have any demands from you?"
Wang Ziyan wasn't foolish; she understood the situation she was in. She recalled asking her father before leaving what this trip was for, but her father didn't clarify anything for her. She couldn't possibly know that her father had left to avoid Bing Tianyi.
But by the time she learned of her father's intentions, Bing Tianyi had already resolved the issue.
Now thinking back on it, Wang Ziyan felt a sense of resentment towards her father. After all, from her brief interaction with Mei Yuan, Wang Ziyan could tell that their thoughts were aligned; her intuition told her that Mei Yuan also liked Bing Tianyi.
From Bing Tianyi's perspective, Mei Yuan stepped up to help him when he needed it most, while she chose to avoid him when he needed support. In such circumstances, any man would surely lean towards the former rather than the latter.
After Wang Ziyan finished asking her questions, Bing Tianyi quietly said, "Mei Yuan told me never to contact you again."
Wang Ziyan listened and found that the situation was basically as she had anticipated. After Bing Tianyi finished speaking, a helpless smile appeared on Wang Ziyan's face as she looked at Bing Tianyi and curiously asked, "Is it really that simple?"
Bing Tianyi nodded and replied, "It really is that simple."
"Then why do you still want to contact me now?" Wang Ziyan smiled as she asked Bing Tianyi.
Bing Tianyi forced a bitter smile, secretly thinking, "I'm just being foolish, what else could it be?"
However, despite his thoughts, Bing Tianyi did not voice them. Once Wang Ziyan finished her inquiry, he helplessly said, "Well, I… heh heh."
Although Bing Tianyi did not finish his sentence, Wang Ziyan could tell from the expression on his face what he was really thinking.
"I understand now; you don't need to explain," Wang Ziyan said with a soft laugh. She knew that anything she said at this point would be unnecessary. After all, the situation was what it was, and saying too much would only annoy Bing Tianyi.
Moments later, the group arrived at the agreed-upon entrance of Red Night City. At this time, Su Qin was already waiting at the door. Seeing Bing Tianyi's car approach, Su Qin quickly got out of the car. Once she reached the side of the vehicle, she opened the door and smiled at Bing Tianyi, asking, "So? Do you still need me to find a few more friends?"
"Help my Brother find one," Bing Tianyi said with a mischievous smile as he glanced at Old Huang stepping down from the car.
Old Huang forced a smile; he was already overwhelmed by one girl, and if he had to deal with another one, wouldn't he be throwing himself into a volcano?
"Alright, alright, you guys go in and have fun. I'll just wait for you here," Old Huang said seriously to Bing Tianyi.
Seeing the expression on Old Huang's face, Bing Tianyi chuckled and nodded in agreement. "Okay then, if that's the case, just wait outside for now."
Old Huang nodded, and Su Qin immediately led Bing Tianyi and Old Huang into the room. Once inside, Su Qin smiled and asked Bing Tianyi, "Brother Bing, what do you want to drink today? Red, white, or something foreign?"
"Anything is fine. Today we shouldn't focus on drinking; it's just about chatting and talking about life lately," Bing Tianyi replied politely with a smile.
Hearing this, Su Qin nodded and said, "Alright, today we'll go with Brother Bing's suggestion."
After entering the private room and having a few rounds of drinks, Bing Tianyi was surprised when Wang Ziyan, sitting next to him, suddenly burst into tears. This was a scene he had never witnessed before.
Seeing the sorrowful expression on Wang Ziyan's face, Bing Tianyi curiously asked her, "Ziyan, I don't think I've offended you, have I? What's wrong?"
Wang Ziyan widened her big, watery eyes as tears rolled down her cheeks. With a heart full of sadness, she asked Bing Tianyi, "Bing Tianyi, are you really planning to listen to Mei Yuan from now on and ignore me?"
Upon hearing this, Bing Tianyi felt frustrated; he couldn't articulate his feelings. After all, he still hadn't figured out Mei Yuan's exact identity. If he offended her recklessly, who knows what unexpected consequences might arise?
Noticing that Bing Tianyi didn't respond, Su Qin, who had been drinking a bit, found the situation strange and curiously asked, "Is Mei Yuan that girl from your class who looks pretty good?"
Bing Tianyi nodded helplessly. Seeing this, Su Qin bluntly said without much thought, "Is she really planning to compete with Ziyan for a boyfriend?"
Bing Tianyi felt even more speechless at Su Qin's question and simply raised his glass and drank it all in one go.
From the look in Bing Tianyi's eyes at that moment, Su Qin realized he was also quite troubled. After a brief consideration, she stood up and confidently patted her chest in front of Bing Tianyi and Wang Ziyan, saying, "Don't worry; I'll help you sort this out!"
