CHAPTER 561: CHAPTER 561: SOPHISTRY

Zhang Dadan took the bus back to Qingcheng County, but he didn’t even leave the bus stop and directly took the bus back to Stone Town.

Where would he dare to go blindly in Qingcheng County? Wouldn’t it be awkward to run into Bai Jie?

But even so, the right thing always happens, and it’s useless to try to avoid it.

Zhang Dadan returned to Stone City with a cheerful look, but he brought Bai Jie to Four Eyes.

I saw White Se dressed in a light yellow suit, sitting alone at a table in the middle of the hall, staring at the door.

She had no recollection of what happened that afternoon, and naturally wouldn’t be too embarrassed, just angry.

Angry that Zhang Dadan didn’t reply to her WeChat messages, didn’t return her calls, as if he had completely forgotten her.

Out of strong reluctance and indignation, she gave up her work and came to the stone to protect the rabbit alone.

Now, it’s hard to wait for the rabbit to appear. How could he escape easily?

Seeing him wanting to turn around and leave, Bai Jie hurriedly shouted, "Zhang Dadan, stop for me..."

Although Zhang Dadan deliberately avoided her, seeing that she had already found the door, he couldn’t be too reckless, had to stop, slowly turn around, and smile in response:

"Bai... Bai Jie, why do you have time to come to our Stone Town? Are they not coming to collect the rent anymore? Your big house family is really..."

Before he could finish, Bai Jie frowned and said, "Don’t say too much! Why are you avoiding me?"

The diners in the restaurant, seeing the two flirting, talked secretly among themselves, some envying Zhang Dadan’s blessings, while others secretly scolding Bai Jie for being blind.

Seeing everyone from time to time peeking at him, Zhang Dadan felt even more embarrassed and stood up to say to Bai Jie:

"Miss Bai, how am I avoiding you? I’ve been really busy these past two days. No, I just came back from the city."

Could he escape her discerning eye? She asked, "Then why did you turn around when you saw me?"

"Well... okay, I didn’t turn around and run! Didn’t I come in?" Zhang Dadan argued strongly.

The two of you came to me to quarrel, making the guests in the restaurant more and more excited.

Someone deliberately hurt Zhang Dadan’s face by laughing and saying, "Boss Zhang, were you out in the open?"

"Of course! Otherwise, Boss Zhang wouldn’t leave every day," good people echoed.

In the shop, for a time, the crowd was excited, helping Bai Jie to hit Zhang Dadan, describing him as a modern-day Chen Shimei.

Of course, they didn’t mean any harm, just joking in their leisure time, not to mention these two seemed deeply affectionate, and they still thought themselves to be old!

Seeing them fanning the flames and adding fuel and vinegar, Zhang Dadan felt more and more awkward inside, trying to appease them.

But most of these people were regulars in the shop, almost like the God of Wealth; it was hard to speak too heavily to them, so he showed no expression, instead being considered bashful.

Helplessly, Zhang Dadan had to take Bai Jie to the private room on the second floor to avoid the lips and tongues of these people.

However, just as the two of them reached the stairs, someone laughed and said, "Look... people are embarrassed, you guys are too much!"

Zhang Dadan sneered, thinking someone had finally found their conscience and stood up for him, feeling a tearful sensation in front of him.

But when he turned around to find the kind person, he continued to say, "Well, now they’ve gone to the balcony, we can’t see them!"

See... can’t see? Brother, do you want to keep watching? This is a restaurant, not a stage.

Zhang laughed upstairs. Amid public laughter, he hid in the private room.

Bai Jie, with a bit of excitement and a bit of anticipation, slowly walked in and boldly sat opposite Zhang, staring at him.

Since that afternoon, Zhang Dadan’s mind was filled with Bai’s body, making him very intense.

Now, Bai Se was staring at him eagerly, making him more passionate and hard to control.

"Bai... Bai Jie, what are you doing staring at me? That afternoon, I... I am completely innocent!" Zhang Dadan swallowed his saliva and hastily explained.

That day, Bai Jie was really drunk, completely unconscious, hearing him mention that afternoon, couldn’t help but feel a bit confused.

"What happened that afternoon? What exactly happened that afternoon?" Bai Jie asked eagerly.

Seeing her face of confusion wasn’t fake, Zhang Dadan couldn’t help but hesitate. Did she completely forget or was she testing him?

"You... you really don’t remember what happened?" Zhang Dadan looked around and asked casually.

Bai Jie sniffed again but couldn’t recall. "Zhang Dadan, no matter what grandpa told you, don’t take it seriously, I make my own decisions!" Bai Jie responded actively.

Zhang Dadan, seeing the situation, was slightly stunned and explained, "Bai Jie, your grandpa really didn’t say anything, let alone talk about... your matter."

"Really? Then why are you avoiding me? What did I do wrong?" Bai Jie asked with a bit of grievance.

Seeing her look so aggrieved, Zhang Dadan became more and more desperate.

Zhang Dadan pretended to be puzzled and said, "I’m not avoiding you, are you too sensitive?"

However, his evasive retreat had made Bai Jie lose her patience, only to see her suddenly frown and size up Zhang Dadan.

"Do you have someone you like? Who is she? Do I know her?" Bai Jie asked seriously.

Her question indeed threw Zhang Dadan off guard. To be fair, Zhang Dadan had a good impression of Bai Jie, even liked her.

But at the same time, he also really liked Li Yuejia and had once shared a spring breeze with her; if he had more thoughts about Bai Jie, wouldn’t he really become Chen Shimei?

Of course, he didn’t want to open the emperor’s palace, but how could he wrong her pure life?

"I... Bai Jie, can we change the subject?" Zhang Dadan tried to muddle through, speaking more relaxedly.

But since Bai Jie had chosen to chase and hit, and had waited for two days in Stone Town Jiji, how could she not get him?

Bai Jie thought for a moment, took a deep breath, and said, "Zhang Dadan, let me ask another way, do you like me?"

Like it? Zhang Dadan suddenly froze, not knowing how to answer. He truly was in a dilemma.

"Speak! Don’t try to muddle through!" Bai Jie dropped all pretense, forcing him to answer.

As she spoke, she sat down on the bench next to Zhang Dadan, next to him, staring at him.

Zhang Dadan felt her presence, feeling more confused but still didn’t dare to answer. For him, this feeling was something he couldn’t reject, nor could he accept, at least not now!

If he rejected, he would hurt Bai Xin, even though they would both be reluctant to part, but if he accepted, wouldn’t he hurt Li Yuejia?

Seeing him so entangled, Bai Jie leaned forward, grabbed his arm, and leaned on him, trying to force him to comply.

The two groups were soft. This made Zhang Dadan’s mind go blank, making the choice even more difficult, so he just sat quietly.

At this moment, the door of the private room suddenly knocked, and Zhou Yongxing rushed in, shouting, "Dadan, this matter..."

Before he finished, he saw Bai Jie leaning on Zhang Dadan, the two seeming very close.

"Sorry to interrupt... sorry..." Zhou Yong spoke instinctively, then prepared to exit the private room.

His appearance was an interruption for Bai Jie, but for Zhang Dadan, it was a lifeline, giving him a chance to extricate himself from her eyes.
