After rebirth, they always want to do something bad to me

232. Weekend, old place

"Sister, if you want to compete with me for Old Tang, you should first deal with the opponents around you."

"Your best friend doesn't have any good intentions towards Old Tang."

……

Tang Youyou suddenly opened her eyes and stared blankly at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling that was emitting a soft light.

Tang Keke’s words before she left kept echoing in her mind.

Does her best friend have any good intentions towards Lao Tang?

In the past few years that she has been in charge of Tengda Group, she has made many business partners because of business relationships, both superficial friends and close partners, but the only one who can be called a close friend is Jiang He.

This is not only because they are of similar age and sexual orientation, but also because they are both one of the few outliers in this business world full of swords and sabers.

As women who are not yet thirty years old, they have established themselves in the business world and built up their own business empires. They are not only goddesses in the eyes of contemporary young and even middle-aged people, but also thorns in their eyes and flesh.

No matter how well they perform, those people will inevitably look down on them, and the cold shoulder and injustice they receive can be imagined.

It is precisely because of this that the two of them gradually become close friends who support each other.

But now, her sister told her that her best friend had bad intentions towards Tang Li?

How is this possible?

Jiang He doesn't like the maternal role at all.

She even blocks the "mother" related tags when reading the book!

Could it be that Coco is trying to sow discord between me and Jiang He?

No, that wouldn't happen. Although Coco always likes to go against me, she would never do such despicable things as slandering and alienating me.

For her to say that means she really knows something.

but……

Tang Youyou could never imagine that her best friend would be attracted to Tang Li.

"Jiang He..." She murmured to herself, "You must stick to your heart...Old Tang is not a real vixen..."

Just when she was confused, the door was suddenly opened.

She sat up suddenly.

"Huh? Youyou, why are you sitting in the living room?" Tang Li just walked into the living room and saw Tang Youyou sitting upright on the sofa. She couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Most young people nowadays like to use their mobile phones and computers. Although Tang Youyou is the president, he is only in his twenties, so he is naturally no exception.

It's not often that you see people sitting on the sofa in the living room like this.

It's like being caught doing something bad.

"Well... I, I was watching TV." Tang Youyou explained guiltily.

Tang Li glanced at the TV in confusion, but there was no sign that it had been turned on.

"You didn't fall asleep on the sofa, did you?" She shook her head. "Although I know you are very tired from work, you can't sleep on the sofa. What if you catch a cold and get sick?"

"If you are tired, go back to your room and rest."

Tang Youyou felt a little warm in her heart when she heard this. No one knows a daughter better than her father. Tang Li can always pay attention to her condition from various details, as if this was just a very ordinary thing.

But she had rested for a while and was not feeling sleepy now.

"It's not even eight o'clock yet, how can I sleep?" Her voice was a little tired from just waking up, and it sounded like she was acting coquettishly.

"By the way, Lao Tang, you didn't come back with me this afternoon. Where did you go?"

"Oh, I went to Xiaohe's house." Tang Li sat on the soft sofa, curled up her feet, hugged her legs, and looked at her crystal clear white jade toes, like a kitten teasing its own tail.

However, the answer that seemed ordinary to her made Tang Youyou's pupils shrink slightly.

"Go to Jiang He's place? It seems like it's not class time today, why would you go to her place if you have nothing to do?"

"How can you talk like that, kid?" Tang Li rolled her eyes at her unhappily.

"Can't you just go and visit her if you have nothing to do? Besides, Xiao He is your friend and my foreign language teacher. Today is Christmas, so you should bring some gifts and see how she behaves."

"You're already the CEO, why are you still so ignorant?"

Tang Youyou smiled helplessly, as if she had gotten used to Tang Li's middle-aged social skills and code of conduct.

"Old Tang, how come you look younger, but mentally you're still the same as you were a dozen years ago?"

"It's not popular among young people nowadays to visit people in person. During festivals and holidays, people just send red envelopes on Penguin to say hello. If you visit someone in person, you might even feel embarrassed."

"Who said that? I thought Xiaohe and Xiaomiao were very happy when I went to Xiaohe's house." Tang Li said somewhat unconvinced.

"Speaking of which, I met Xiaohe's parents today. Xiaohe... is quite pitiful." Tang Li said softly, playing with her toes.

Tang Youyou couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "Did you see those two bastards? They didn't do anything to you, did they?"

"What nonsense are you talking about... How can you call your friend a bastard!" Tang Li immediately poked Tang Youyou's head, then pursed her lips.

"Well... those two bastards didn't do anything to me. They just had a fight with Xiao He."

"Xiao He's mother was particularly opposed to Xiao He's liking girls, and she even brought the matter to Xiao He's home."

"But Xiaohe scolded me back." Tang Li said, and couldn't help laughing.

"Xiao He was so handsome back then!"

"And let me tell you, there is another particularly funny thing." Tang Li stared at her big watery eyes and said, "Later, Xiao He's father came to his senses and decided to understand his daughter's characteristics. He also misunderstood the relationship between Xiao He and me."

"He thought Xiao He and I were a couple, and he even said that if Xiao He and I could get married, I must remember to invite him!"

"what?!"

Tang Youyou widened his eyes and shouted.

Tang Li was startled by her unexpected reaction: "What's wrong?"

"No..." Tang Youyou bit her lip lightly, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart.

Misunderstanding? Is it really just a misunderstanding?

"Haha, I didn't expect Jiang He's father would think this way. I'm quite curious about Jiang He's reaction."

"Hey, Xiaohe is so shy and has been explaining to me all the time." Tang Li shook her head with a smile.

"What about you?" Tang Youyou suddenly asked.

"What about me?" Tang Li was stunned.

"What do you think of Jiang He? I think Jiang He is quite good, with a good personality and is very serious about relationships." Tang Youyou clenched her fists and asked, trying to suppress the sourness in her heart.

"What are you thinking about in your little head?" Tang Li said angrily and amusedly, "Xiao He is your friend, how could I have any thoughts about her? And even if others don't know, don't you know my true identity? No matter how outstanding she is, there is no way I can be a couple with her."

"Really? You've become more and more disrespectful recently. You even dare to meddle in the private affairs of your elders..."

Tang Li's mumbling gradually faded away from her ears, and Tang Youyou began to daydream.

Tang Li's response was immediate, and she felt like a huge rock had been lifted from her heart.

It's okay, Old Tang didn't have any thoughts. Jiang He was probably just a little embarrassed by his father saying such things, which was normal.

As she thought about it, she took out her cell phone involuntarily and clicked on Jiang He's profile picture.

[Jiang He, Saturday, old place.]

【? 】

233. I treat you as my best friend, and you want to be my dad?

Tang Youyou sat in the bar which was empty except for the bartender and the waiter, sipping the cocktail in the glass in confusion.

Until now she still didn't know why she asked Jiang He out at that time. Did she have to ask Jiang He face to face whether he liked Tang Li?

Forget it... just think of it as a way to relax. After all, the two of them haven't been together alone for a long time.

She shook her head and tilted her head back to drink the cocktail from the crystal goblet.

"Boss Tang, you seem a little impatient today." The bartender wiped the glass in his hand and said with a smile: "This is a blasphemy to fine wine."

"How can something that can be bought with money be considered blasphemous or not?" Tang Youyou curled her lips. She was not the kind of person who regarded wine tasting as a hobby in life. To her, drinking was just a necessary skill for business socializing. Even if she didn't like it, she had to learn it.

Instead of letting her have a fear of alcohol, it would be better to think about how she would avoid being beaten if Tang Li found out that she came to the bar.

As someone who has experienced a chaotic period, Tang Li has always had a great prejudice against bars, Internet cafes and other places.

In her opinion, bars and Internet cafes are gathering places for hooligans, where all kinds of illegal things can happen, and you don't even know when someone drugged you.

Many young girls are forced to sink into the childish chaos because they blindly worship it at an ignorant age, and finally disappear in the vast crowd.

Therefore, she has always been very opposed to the three sisters of the Tang family visiting such places, and she is even skeptical about KTV.

Even though the country's relentless anti-pornography and anti-illegal campaigns in recent years have made those places that harbor filth and corruption disappear, and most business premises are quite formal, it is still difficult to change Tang Li's mindset.

As Tang Li's obedient daughter, Tang Youyou would naturally not go against her parents' opinions.

However, this bar is an exception. After all, it is Jiang He's business, and it is very clean inside and out. The employees inside are also their own people. Usually when she and Jiang He come here to drink, the place will be cleared. There is even a room upstairs reserved for the two of them, so there will be no problems at all.

Over time, this place became a secret base for her and Jiang He to communicate and talk.

"I can't argue with you." The bartender's name is Chen Zhi, a middle-aged widow with some looks. Because her husband died young, she barely supported her two children with the income from bartending. Later, she was discovered by Jiang He, who simply made her the manager of the bar.

In fact, she rarely stood in front of the stage to mix cocktails. However, when Tang Youyou and Jiang He came, she would do it herself no matter what.

Soon, Chen Zhi brought Tang Youyou a glass of pink cocktail and gently pushed it in front of Tang Youyou.

Tang Youyou couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "Pink Lady? Why would you give me this."

The Chinese name of Pink Lady is Pink Beauty. Because of its beautiful appearance and slightly sweet and sour taste, it has always been very popular among girls.

Because the color tends to be pink, it also symbolizes love.

But she had a mediocre feeling towards this cocktail. Drinking it always felt like she was mocking herself for having to watch other people's fairy-tale love grow sour.

"I don't know." Chen Zhi smiled: "Maybe it's because I think your current mood, Mr. Tang, is just like the taste of this cup of Pink Lady?"

"Fancy..." Tang Youyou said, but did not push the glass back. Instead, he sipped it bit by bit.

The Pink Lady brewed by Chen Zhi has a very similar flavor to the original. It tastes slightly sour at first and slightly sweet in the throat. However, because the base liquor is vodka, after the sour and sweet, it is mixed with a slight spicy taste, and the taste is quite complex.

Just like...how she's feeling now?

"Why are you here so early?"

Jiang He's voice came from behind. Tang Youyou put down her wine glass and turned to look, only to see Jiang He sitting down next to her.

"Have a cup of ancient style."

"Okay, Mr. Jiang."

Ever since Jiang He walked into the bar, the smile on Chen Zhi's face has never disappeared.

She was grateful from the bottom of her heart to the girl who had helped her and enabled her to start a new life.

"Your taste is still so strange."

"I think so too. I've never seen a girl who likes to drink Gufeng." Tang Youyou also said.

Old-Fashioned, also known as OLD-FASHIONED, is mainly made of bourbon whiskey, bitters, water, sugar cubes, ice cubes and lemon slices. It tastes bitter-sweet, with a strong whiskey aroma and a masculine nostalgic feel.

In many American macho dramas, Gu Feng appears quite frequently.

But this is obviously not something that ordinary girls can handle.

"Am I not a girl?" Jiang He rolled his eyes at her and said unhappily, "So why did you call me out?"

"Is there nothing I can't ask you to come out and play?"

Jiang He leaned back slightly after hearing this, and looked at Tang You You suspiciously: "My aunt, usually I ask you to go out and play, but you refuse to do so. Now you can teach me a lesson instead?"

"Humph, I just heard that you had a fight with your parents a few days ago, so I asked you to come out and relax."

"You actually knew that. Xiaoli told you?"
