Chapter 1217: Seafood Barbecue
Originally, Chen Yang was quite angry inside. Something this serious happened, and yet she was still afraid to trouble him.
She was just one step away from ruining her bright future.
He thought that once they got in the car, he would definitely have to teach the girl a lesson.
But after hearing her sobs, his heart softened again, and he didn't end up scolding her; instead, he comforted her.
With the comfort from Chen Yang, Song Mansha, and another woman, the girl's emotions finally improved a bit.
"Brother... I'm sorry, I caused you trouble again."
Once the girl calmed down a bit, she immediately apologized to Chen Yang.
Chen Yang looked at the girl, who was crying her eyes out, and it was impossible for him not to feel compassionate.
"Silly girl, what are you thanking me for? As long as you're okay, everything's fine." Chen Yang patted her head, offering comfort once again.
Upon hearing Chen Yang's words, she felt really touched, if not for Song Mansha being there.
She might not have been able to resist hugging Chen Yang.
"You're too naive, you even dared to guarantee a high-interest loan. If I hadn't come to the provincial city to handle things today, it could have been dangerous for you. In the future, you mustn't do such things, understand? And if something happens, you have to tell me right away, understand?" Chen Yang gave her a bit of a lecture after calming her down.
What happened today was largely her own fault.
If it weren't for her simple thinking, she wouldn't have faced such a dangerous situation today.
After what happened, she herself also deeply realized how foolish her actions were.
"Mm-hmm, I know now, Brother Chen Yang. I was wrong. From now on, I'll tell you immediately if something happens." She nodded seriously, deeply aware of her mistake.
"That's more like it. Even though you're about to graduate from college, you have no social experience, so be more careful in the future. Don't make your mom and me worry at home." Chen Yang said.
"Mm-hmm, I understand, Brother Chen Yang, I won't do it again."
She nodded once more.
Chen Yang saw that she was sad and had been lectured enough.
There was no point in saying more, so he didn't continue speaking.
"Alright, it's late at night, and you must be hungry. I'll treat you to a late-night snack; you can pick the place." With the problem solved, Chen Yang didn't dwell on it much and immediately suggested with a smile to treat them to a meal.
Song Mansha was enthusiastic when she heard this: "Sure, I didn't even have dinner, and I'm starving."
Chen Yang smiled at her response and then looked at the girl to ask, "What would you like to eat? You pick the place."
At this point, the girl was still feeling pretty low and wasn't in the mood to eat.
But since everyone wanted to go, she agreed.
"I don't know where to eat. Mansha, you make the choice. I've borrowed so much money from you recently that you couldn't eat properly, so consider this my way of making it up to you." She said to Song Mansha.
Song Mansha's expression turned serious immediately upon hearing this.
"Girl, what's with the formality? We're sisters. Your problems are mine too, and it's only right I help you." Song Mansha said with a serious look, as if she would get angry if the girl continued to be formal.
The girl was originally in a very low mood, but hearing Song Mansha's words made her happy.
"Alright, I won't be formal with you, but I'll still treat you to this meal. Separate matters should be kept separate." She said with a smile, taking Song Mansha's arm.
Song Mansha nodded with a smile, and after thinking for a moment, she thought of a place.
"Brother Chen Yang, how about we go to the new seafood barbecue restaurant at our school? I've heard the food's good there, but I haven't tried it yet."
"Sure, whatever you say."
Chen Yang was happy to see the good relationship between Song Mansha and the girl.
After all, true friends are hard to come by, and he was genuinely happy for her to have such a good friendship.
Of course, with how well Song Mansha treated the girl, Chen Yang wouldn't let her down either.
Once the location was decided, Chen Yang drove them from the billiard hall back to the school.
Then, under Song Mansha's guidance, they arrived at the seafood barbecue restaurant inside the school.
The name of the barbecue place sounded quite high-end, a barbecue restaurant.
At first glance, Chen Yang thought it was an upscale restaurant with barbecue elements.
But to his surprise, the place was no different from an ordinary roadside stand or a regular barbecue place.
A small storefront, and everything was used for grilling.
Dinosaurs were all consumed outside the storefront, on tables placed on the open ground.
The conditions looked quite basic, no different from a roadside stand.
Chen Yang got out of the car, looked around, but didn't show much reaction.
Because, as he always said, he's not picky about food or where to eat, as long as it's clean and edible.
"Brother Chen Yang, the conditions here are a bit basic, don't be too particular. The taste here is really good." Song Mansha, holding the girl's arm, said this with a smile as they got out of the car.
Chen Yang was amused.
"What's there to be picky about? Thinking back to when I was in college, I didn't even have the means to come to places like these to eat." Chen Yang replied with a smile, then led them over to find a place to sit.
Shortly after sitting down, a waiter brought the menu.
Chen Yang didn't even look at it and handed the menu directly to the girl and Song Mansha, letting them order.
The girl and Song Mansha weren't shy, and they quickly ordered what they liked, as well as some drinks.
"That's all for now."
Song Mansha handed the menu back to the waiter, then eagerly rubbed her hands and said to Chen Yang, "Brother Chen Yang, I've been looking forward to this place with the girl for a long time. And today I finally get to try it, thank you."
"No problem, don't mention it."
Chen Yang waved it off with a smile, then turned to the girl and started chatting with her.
The topic naturally shifted back to the incident that happened just now.
Although it had been dealt with, the classmate named Li Feifei was nowhere to be found.
This still left Chen Yang a bit dissatisfied, so during the conversation, he particularly asked the girl about Li Feifei.
The girl was also quite angry with Li Feifei at this point, so she didn't think of hiding anything and told Chen Yang the whole story.
After listening to her story, Chen Yang had a basic understanding of Li Feifei.
"Brother Chen Yang, when she showed me how sick her mom was and how miserable they were, I felt compassion and didn't think much. Who would've known, she was really setting me up." The girl recounted the incident, and her expression sank again.
The incident had really been a big blow to her.
"Don't worry too much about it. Just be more cautious in the future and don't blame yourself entirely for this." Chen Yang offered some comfort once again, then noticed the dishes were almost ready and didn't continue the conversation. He immediately called everyone to eat.
Song Mansha, being quite cheerful, didn't dwell on something after it was over.
When she heard Chen Yang inviting them to eat, she quickly picked up her chopsticks and began eating.
It was only after seeing everyone else start eating that the girl began to eat too.
