Chapter 768 Her Different Treatment
In the evening, everyone had dinner at Erya’s new home, and Cheng Mingtai was also invited.
Erya bought a two-story house with a yard. Although it is not as big as Zhang Ran’s courtyard house, she likes standing on the second floor to look at the scenery downstairs.
At the dinner table, Erya prepared drinks and wine. Everyone chose to drink the drinks and no one touched the wine.
After dinner, Erya personally saw everyone out the door.
Brother Luo You took Xiaoying's hand and walked towards the courtyard first.
Yang Tao followed behind.
Qiuyu stood aside, quietly waiting for Zhang Ran who was the last one to fall.
Cheng Mingtai, who was standing in the yard, finally waited until Zhang Ran came out of the house and immediately walked up to him. "It's already late. Can I drive you back to school?"
Zhang Ran looked at him in confusion, "Thank you, I have a driver, so I won't bother you." He looked past Cheng Mingtai and towards Qi Hongyan who was standing not far behind him, "You should send Hongyan off."
Cheng Mingtai turned around subconsciously and looked at Qi Hongyan with resentment.
Qi Hongyan: "..." As a small lawyer, she naturally had no money to buy a car. She came here today by riding in Cheng Mingtai's car. If he hadn't come, she would have taken a taxi.
She herself did not expect that this would become an excuse to hinder Cheng Mingtai from pursuing Zhang Ran. She waved her hands guiltily and said, "No, no, I can just take a taxi myself." She walked out quickly before she finished speaking.
Zhang Ran quickly chased after him, "It's not safe for a girl to take a taxi so late at night. What if you run into a bad guy? It's on the way, I'll ask the driver to take you home first, and then I'll go back to school and discuss the details on the way."
"Ah ha?" Qi Hongyan didn't expect Zhang Ran to catch up with her, and she didn't expect that he would take the initiative to send her off. She subconsciously glanced at Cheng Mingtai who was standing there. He looked like a puppy abandoned by his owner, so pitiful.
Zhang Ran brushed past her and continued walking forward.
Qi Yanhong glanced at Cheng Mingtai, who looked like a vengeful ghost, and then looked at Zhang Ran's departing back. She said quickly to Cheng Mingtai, "Boss Cheng, I'll go back in Boss Zhang's car!" Then she turned around and decisively chased after Zhang Ran.
Qiu Yu gloated at Cheng Mingtai. She could have just walked away, but she deliberately walked past him and whispered quickly, "Are you still a man? If you like her, go after her!"
Cheng Mingtai finally moved, but he walked very slowly. He sat in the car and did not move for a long time.
At first he treated Zhang Ran as just an ordinary client, but after handling several of her cases in succession, he began to treat her as a special client.
Every time they met, the other party would give him a big "surprise". Sometimes he would dream at night that he was running around trying to get her out of jail.
The longer they knew each other, the more he could sense that the other person had many secrets.
The longer we spend together, the stronger that eerie sense of familiarity becomes.
He was sure that he had never known her before, but she definitely knew him and knew him very well. He was not superstitious and even suspected that they were lovers in their previous life.
From sympathizing with her experience, to being curious, to wanting to explore everything about her, he himself didn't know when he fell in love with her. It was not until he learned that she was kidnapped on the street during the college entrance examination that he realized his feelings for her. He was afraid of losing her.
Since they got along, whenever he took a step forward, she would take a step back, always keeping a distance from him. It could be said that she did it on purpose, so deliberate that even he couldn't deceive himself. She didn't like him, and it was so deliberate that everyone who knew him noticed her different treatment.
Cheng Mingtai leaned over the steering wheel. Just as Qiuyu said, he was a coward. He didn't dare to express his feelings. He was afraid that he would not even be able to be friends with her.
