Chapter 51 - Gossip Boys

Feng Yisheng, Fu Bolin and Zhou Rong chatted while having the vanilla flavoured cake, sandwich, fried egg, toasts and coffee they had ordered. "I see you still have a sweetooth Yisheng," Fu Bolin remarked. During the time they were together before Feng Yisheng left for The States with his parents, he always ordered sweets or cakes or ice creams.

"Yeah, I guess it is inborn," he replied shoving a small piece of the cake in his mouth. "So, how did you know your way around the city?" Zhou Rong cut in.

"Oh that. It's umm-"

"Do you not know Rong? Our friend here, Yisheng has a nice beauty accompanying him around town," Fu Bolin let Zhou Rong in on his latest discovery.

"Wah! Are you serious right now? Damn man, no wonder he said he could handle things when we offered to give him a tour. Smart dude," Zhou Rong exclaimed. When they had discovered from that their friend had arrived from The States, they were happy but sad that could not give him a tour because they had a lot of work on their plates.

Fu Bolin and Zhou Rong tries hard to clear up their tasking schedule but it was hard. They decided to leave some of the works pending and searched for his contact number and asked if he was still up for the tour. But to their dismay, Feng Yisheng told them that he was doing great and they should not worry about him and carry on with their work. The duo found it strange that he did not want to hangout will them, so Fu Bolin made some research and found out that Feng Yisheng was going out with a lady.

"So tell us who she is already. I am curious to know the girl that got you quiet occupied to turn our invitation down," Zhou Rong, the gossip seeker pressured Feng Yisheng for some answers. "It is not like what you guys think," Feng Yisheng tried to justify his actions.

"Oh, really now. Care to share what you think we think," Zhou Rong taunted playfully. He was hell-bent on getting words out of Feng Yisheng's lips. "Yeah Sheng, enlighten us on your thoughts of our thoughts," Fu Bolin tagged along in the teasing game.

Seeing as he could not get away with his actions, Feng Yisheng sighed and agreed to tell the who the lady was. "Sigh, fine fine. It is the young miss of the Bai family, Bai Ming. Her mother wanted someone that will accompany her outing since she did not have friends and I happened to need someone to show me around City X since I did not have you guys phone numbers. So we ended accompanying each other, end of story," he said as he lolled into his chair.

"Is that so? But why do I find that Bai name familiar? There is a bell ringing in my ears," Zhou Rong said dramatically. Then it clicked. "Hah! I know the name now. It is Bai Renxiang, our Fu Bolin's ex-girlfriend. I knew I have heard it from somewhere," he said jumping in sit.

"Rong I do not want to hear that disgusting name, so drop it," Fu Bolin said. Hearing Bai Renxiang's name made his passive blood boil in rage.

"And why is that? Did she do something wrong? I would like to know what you guys have been up to when I was away," Feng Yisheng asked out of curiosity. The sudden attitude of his friend when that Bai Renxiang's name was mentioned piqued his interest. His gossip switch was turned on and he was ready to hear some juicy news.

"Oh she did no wrong. What she did very very shameless and evil to our bro," Zhou Rong said again despite the direct and clear warning Fu Bolin had given him a few seconds ago.

"Oh my! Feed me more, hurry," he pressed. Zhou Rong sat upright on his chair as he turned slightly to face Feng Yisheng. His face turning serious. "So there was this girl that Bolin fell in love with. Her name is-"

"Bai Renxiang. I get it already. Next!" Zhou Rong was interrupted by the curious and anxious Feng Yisheng.

"Okay. So she works in her father's company, Bai Jewelries and she was their ace dealer and a part-time designer. But it turns out that she was cut and snapped sleeping with a man of the partnering company for the deal around last month."

"WOW!" Feng Yisheng said out loud causing the other customers at the cafe to look weirdly at them. He bowed lightly in apology and turned back to his gossip source to hear more.

"Do you know the most important and shocking revelation?" Zhou Rong asked.

"No, you have not given me the full gist. So how are I supposed to know?" Feng Yisheng retorted.. What a dumb question.
