Liang Yueze did not answer Lu Xingzhi. Instead, he lowered his head and downed the glass of red wine in one huge gulp. Luo Ruoran took the glass in his hand and said, “You still need to drive back to the company. Why are you drinking?”
Unfortunately, Liang Yueze did not seem to appreciate her good intentions.
“You didn’t meddle in this when we were married. Suddenly you care when we’re already divorced?” Liang Yueze snorted. “Who are you to care whether I drink or not, Luo Ruoran?”
“Didn’t we say that we’ll stay friends even after we’re divorced?” Luo Ruoran said as she returned the wine glass to Liang Yueze. “We grew up together; we can still stay friends even though we’re divorced. I thought things would still be the same as before.”
Luo Ruoran had a forced smile on her face. She withdrew her hand, but she kept it under the table. No one knew how her hand had trembled slightly.
“Of course, it will stay the same!” The atmosphere had gotten weird, so Chen Xuyao decided to be the pacemaker. “No matter what happens, we’ll always be good friends and brothers. That will never change. Did you think you can forget about us when you’re divorced and are abroad? When one of us gets married, you will still have to come back and join the celebration, no matter where you’ll be at that time. And if you see anything nice while you’re there, please think of us as well. We’ll always like gifts from abroad. There’s no need to be specific; we’ll love it because it’s from you. Of course, nothing too cheap, please, but we know your taste, so I feel assured about that.”
“That’s right, that’s right! I’m getting married soon. When I get married and have children, you’ll have to rush back here, no matter where you are at that time. You have to participate in the celebration.” Zhou Weiqi was happy. “Don’t forget your red packets too; that’s very important, so you must remember that. And when you’re away, you have to give us your contact information.”
“Fourth Brother, you’ll still have to find the right person first before you get married.” Jiang Yao thought that Zhou Weiqi and Chen Xuyao had gotten unreasonable, so she hit Zhou Weiqi. Then, she turned to Luo Ruoran and said, “Where are you planning to go? What will happen to your family’s company?”
“Well, I will still be in charge of the Luo family’s company. The company’s senior management has decided to expand to the overseas market, and I will be in charge of it. I just haven’t decided on where I’m going first.”
Luo Ruoran said, “I will probably be busy in the coming years after I go abroad. However, when any of you get married or have children, I will definitely come back for that.”
Luo Ruoran and Jiang Yao smiled at each other. “I have known Third Brother for a few years, but I have only known you for half a year. Even so, you are my friend. You don’t have to call me Sister-in-law; just call me Ruoran. The three of us will remain friends in the years to come. And if anyone needs my family or me, just let me know.
“That’s true. No matter where you go, we’re still on the same side.” Zhou Weiqi echoed. “Well, you can always look for Second Brother! He has been abroad for so many years; his connections are much better than ours. He can help you if you have any difficulties. Since you’ll be alone there, we’d be more at ease with him looking after you.”
