Lady Diplomacy
"Well, honey, I just admire you too much!" The little fairy on the other end of the phone was silent for ten seconds before she said, "I'm going to hang up first. I still want to sleep!"
The little goblin hung up the phone after he finished speaking. Although Xia Tian was a little dissatisfied, he decided not to bother with him because the little goblin had just said that he admired him.
Of course, the main reason was that Xia Tian was planning to call his big fairy wife as well, so he immediately dialed Zhao Yujie's number again.
"Hello, the number you dialed is turned off..." The voice coming from the phone immediately made Xia Tian depressed. Why would this witch wife turn off the phone?
After thinking about it, Xia Tian remembered that he seemed to have not called Mei'er yet, so he dialed Mei'er's phone number again.
Mei'er answered the phone quickly, but she said something that made Xia Tian even more depressed. Mei'er said quickly, "I know you are still alive and I know you are okay. I am very busy now and have no time to chat with you. I am hanging up!"
Mei'er's voice was still as nice as before, but her tone was still as cold. Moreover, she kept her word and hung up the phone without giving Xia Tian a chance to talk to her.
Xia Tian was very depressed and called again, but this time, Mei'er didn't answer.
After a while, Xia Tian finally stopped dialing Mei Er's number and just muttered to himself in frustration: "The wives in Beijing are becoming more and more disobedient. It seems that I have to go to Beijing again sometime to punish them. Otherwise, they will not take me, their husband, seriously."
Although Xia Tian was talking to himself, his voice was not small, so Xu Jiasheng and Wei Xiaotong could hear it clearly. The two of them looked at each other in surprise. This Doctor Xia was so powerful. From what he said, it seemed that he had at least many wives in the capital!
For a moment, Xu Jiasheng even had the urge to ask Xia Tian how many wives he had. Of course, what he really wanted to know was whether this guy’s other wives were also very beautiful?
"If this guy's other wives were as beautiful as Ning Jie, then this guy deserves to be struck by lightning!" Xu Jiasheng thought secretly in his heart.
The dining table they were sitting at was very large, and Wei Xiaotong was sitting next to Ning Jie, while Xia Tian was sitting a little far away from Ning Jie. Of course, Xu Jiasheng was also a little far away from Wei Xiaotong, and was sitting closer to Xia Tian.
Just now at Xu's house, Xu Jiasheng discovered that Xia Tian cared a lot about Ning Jie's words. It was because Ning Jie said she was hungry that Xia Tian decided to stay for dinner. So Xu Jiasheng secretly told Wei Xiaotong before and asked her to find a chance to talk to Ning Jie. This can be regarded as the so-called lady diplomacy. As for himself, he wanted to chat with Xia Tian, so he was sitting there.
But at this moment Xu Jiasheng discovered that Xia Tian definitely didn't want to chat with him, so he wisely didn't talk to her. Instead, Wei Xiaotong and Ning Jie started chatting.
"Ms. Ning, are you from Beijing too?" Wei Xiaotong asked softly.
"No, but I went to school in Beijing and worked there for a few months." Although Ning Jie knew that Wei Xiaotong was trying to get close to her, she didn't mind chatting with Wei Xiaotong.
"You have known Doctor Xia for a long time, right?" Wei Xiaotong asked again.
Ning Jie shook her head and smiled faintly: "It's not that long ago. We just met in October last year."
Hearing Wei Xiaotong asking about himself, Xia Tian glanced at her, but ignored her. After thinking for a while, he picked up the phone again and dialed a number, which was the number for Song Yumei.
The phone rang many times before someone finally answered it. Then a voice that was still familiar to Xia Tian came: "Hello!"
"Meimei, my dear wife, it's me!" Xia Tian said with a smile, "Did you miss me?"
Hearing this, Xu Jiasheng next to him almost wanted to smash Xia Tian on the head with a wine glass. It was too unfair. This guy actually had a wife. It seemed like he had dozens of them!
Wei Xiaotong finally couldn't help it. She lowered her voice and asked quietly, "Ms. Ning, do you know who Dr. Xia is calling?"
In fact, Wei Xiaotong knew that it was a bit inappropriate for her to ask this, but she really couldn't help it. This really didn't make sense. Why didn't Miss Ning react at all?
"Miss Wei, I understand what you mean and I appreciate your concern. However, my husband will never hide anything from me, and I don't mind who he calls." Ning Jie said calmly, but she said she didn't mind, but she was a little annoyed with Xia Tian in her heart. This husband is really something. Can't he be affectionate with his wives when there are no outsiders? If so, outsiders will definitely find it weird!
"Uh, sorry, I'm just a little curious, nothing else." Wei Xiaotong smiled apologetically, and then quickly changed the subject, "Ms. Ning, excuse me, what do you do in your career?"
"I used to be a fashion designer, but I recently quit my job and haven't found a new one yet." Ning Jie did not hide it.
"Oh, so Miss Ning is a fashion designer!" Wei Xiaotong suddenly became a little excited. As a supermodel, she was naturally interested in clothes. Now, they had a common topic.
So, Wei Xiaotong and Ning Jie started talking about clothes, and gradually talked about other aspects. Wei Xiaotong was also very tactful and stopped asking about Xia Tian, nor did she ask about the specific relationship between Ning Jie and Xia Tian, so the two of them had a very pleasant chat.
They were chatting, and Xia Tian was also chatting, but she was chatting with Song Yumei on the other end of the phone.
Hearing Xia Tian's voice, Song Yumei on the other end of the phone seemed a little surprised. With Xia Tian's super hearing, he could also hear that Song Yumei's heartbeat suddenly accelerated a little. However, soon, Song Yumei's heartbeat returned to normal. At this time, Xia Tian also heard Song Yumei's somewhat gentle voice: "Are you okay?"
"Of course I'm fine, but if you, Meimei, are willing to come to see me, I'll be even better." Xia Tian said with a smile.
"Do you really want me to find you?" Song Yumei said softly.
"Of course it's true. I never lie to my wife." Xia Tian answered without hesitation.
"Okay, I'll go find you." Song Yumei replied, "Where are you?"
"Meimei, my dear wife, are you really going to come see me?" Xia Tian was stunned. He was a little surprised. He was just talking, but he didn't expect Song Yumei to really agree to come see him.
"Of course it's true. I won't lie." Song Yumei said softly, and then asked back a little unhappy: "What's the matter? Don't you want me to look for you?"
"Meimei, my dear wife, I'm of course happy that you are willing to come to see me. But I'm still in Hong Kong now. I will go to Wanggang after dinner. Before the New Year, I should return to Jianghai. If Meimei, my dear wife, you come today, then go to Wanggang first. Call me when you arrive in Wanggang City." Xia Tian said quickly. Since Meimei, my dear wife, is going to come to him, he will naturally not miss such a good opportunity.
"Okay, I understand. I will go there as soon as possible. Today at the earliest and tomorrow at the latest. I should be in Wanggang. I will call you then." Song Yumei agreed. It was obvious that she was not joking but really wanted to come to find Xia Tian.
After a brief pause, Song Yumei continued, "I need someone to make some arrangements for me. That's all for now. I'm hanging up now. We'll talk again when we meet."
"Okay, Meimei, I'll see you then." Xia Tian agreed.
Song Yumei didn't say anything else and hung up the phone. Seeing Xia Tian put away the phone, Xu Jiasheng quickly spoke up: "Divine Doctor Xia, Miss Ning, the food is here. Let's eat and talk at the same time. Come on, Divine Doctor Xia, let me toast you first!"
Xu Jiasheng picked up the glass and wanted to toast, but Xia Tian waved his hand: "I don't drink today."
Without caring about the wine glass held by Xu Jiasheng, Xia Tian simply picked up the chopsticks and started eating. His plan was to finish eating quickly and then leave.
Xu Jiasheng was a little helpless and had to stop saying anything. But after a while, he was not so depressed anymore, because he found that Xia Tian was eating voraciously. Although he didn't look very graceful, Xu Jiasheng felt that this at least showed that Xia Tian was very satisfied with the food. In this way, he could be considered to have treated Xia Tian well today.
What made Xu Jiasheng feel comforted was that although there was no progress on his side, his wife had made great achievements. Not only did Wei Xiaotong and Ning Jie have a good chat, but she also successfully exchanged contact information with Ning Jie. This wife's diplomacy could be said to be a great success.
Half an hour later, when Xia Tian and others walked out of the restaurant, the waiter who went in to clean up was amazed. He had been working here as a waiter for several years, and it was the first time he saw these rich people eat so cleanly. It was really rare!
"Third Young Master, should we send you back first or..." Xu Gang asked at this time. He and Xu Qiang had been waiting outside.
"Brother Gang, of course not!" Xu Jiasheng interrupted him, "Of course we should send Doctor Xia and Miss Ning back first."
After a pause, Xu Jiasheng added, "Xiaotong and I will also get in the car to send Doctor Xia and Miss Ning home, and then we will come back from Wanggang."
"Okay, Third Young Master." Xu Gang nodded, then opened the car door, "Third Young Master, you guys get in the car first."
"Doctor Xia, Miss Ning, you get in the car first." Xu Jiasheng opened the car door and said to Xia Tian.
Xia Tian was about to get in the car when he suddenly felt something and turned to look in a direction not far away. There stood a tall man in a coat and sunglasses. The moment Xia Tian looked at the man, the man pulled out a pistol from his arms, pointed it at him, and quickly pulled the trigger.
"Bang!" Gunshots rang out, and screams were heard nearby.
