Chapter 237: A trip for nothing
"Since your friend is here, then I won't bother!"
Zhong Yu was busy greeting Ruan Mianmian, and after the raw face saw Ruan Mianmian, he also hurriedly got up and prepared to leave.
Zhong Yu didn't stop him, and when he left, he glanced at Ruan Mianmian twice.
Ruan Mianmian noticed that the man's eyes contained apologies, as if he was embarrassed to disturb them.
But that look was quickly replaced by another emotion.
He turned his face away, his eyes flashed, and he hurried towards the door of the box.
Ruan Mianmian was stunned.
Zhong Yu had already stood up from his seat, he glanced at Ruan Mianmian, and said with a smile: "You sit down first, I'll send it off." ”
Ruan Mianmian nodded, and sat down with Ah Kuan on the side.
Zhong Yu and that person, the two of them still exchanged a few words at the door.
Taking advantage of this gap, Ah Kuan's eyes glanced out of the door several times, looking thoughtful.
Seeing this, Ruan Mianmian asked, "What are you looking at?"
"It's nothing. ”
Ah Kuan looked back at Ruan Mianmian, scratched the back of his head, and muttered.
"I always felt that person was a little familiar. ”
Ah Kuan's voice was not loud, and Ruan Mianmian just listened to it.
Just as Zhong Yu came back from outside the door, the matter was soon over.
"I'm sorry, I just met a friend, and I just made small talk here. ”
Zhong Yu sat back in his seat and explained to Ruan Mianmian.
Ruan Mianmian hurriedly waved his hand and said that it was okay, and then he pointed at Ah Kuan and introduced it.
"This is my little brother, and I came out with him today. ”
"Little brother?"
Zhong Yu's smiling eyes paused on Ah Kuan for two seconds, and then smiled and didn't speak.
Obviously, he didn't continue to explore the idea of Ah Kuan's identity.
It just so happened that Ruan Mianmian didn't bother to explain a few words.
After Zhong Yu sat down again, he handed the menu to Ruan Mianmian.
"The pot meat made here tastes very good, do you want to try it?"
Ruan Mianmian couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she heard Zhong Yu's words.
Zhong Yuwei paused, "What's wrong?"
Ruan Mianmian smiled, turned his attention to the menu again, and then said, "I like pot wrapped meat very much." ”
Zhong Yu raised his eyebrows, but didn't say much.
Ruan Mianmian suddenly glanced up at him and asked, "Do you come to this restaurant often?"
"Hmm. ”
Zhong Yu's eyebrows looked at her deeply, and then a chuckle was stained.
"In the past, my mom loved to come here for dinner," he said. ”
I see.
Ruan Mianmian was about to echo the two sentences, but suddenly noticed the loneliness on Zhong Yu's face.
She remembered something, and finally pursed her lips, but didn't say much.
The three of them ordered four or five dishes, all of which were ordinary home-cooked dishes.
Fortunately, the speed of serving food in this restaurant was very fast, but seeing the restaurant manager's courteous appearance, Ruan Mianmian couldn't help laughing.
It seems that Zhong Yu is not only a frequent visitor, but also a VIP.
Otherwise, how to serve a dish, the restaurant manager will have to come and greet him personally.
After the dishes were ready, these people also left.
Ruan Mianmian looked at Zhong Yu and confided in her true purpose for coming to him today.
Ruan Mianmian picked up the water glass, took a sip casually, and moistened his throat.
She looked at Zhong Yu and said with a smile: "Zhong Yu, I want to ask you personally. ”
"You say. ”
Zhong Yu took a tissue over, wiped the corners of his lips, and looked at Ruan Mianmian with fixed eyes, looking very solemn.
Ruan Mianmian: "I want to ask you, are you familiar with Yu Ze from Chaosui Gallery?"
As the words fell, Zhong Yu's brows tightened a little unconsciously, as if he was searching for this person in his mind.
Leaning slightly, Zhong Yucai slowly spoke: "Not very familiar, what's wrong?"
For this answer, Ruan Mianmian was a bit unexpected.
But at the same time, I felt a little unusual.
After all, the previous job was introduced by Zhong Yu, and Ruan Mianmian also knew Yu Ze through Zhong Yu.
At this time, Zhong Yu gave such an answer, and Ruan Mianmian didn't know how to speak.
Zhong Yu seemed to see Ruan Mianmian's embarrassment, so he smiled and continued:
"If you have anything to say, you can say it directly, we have known each other for so long, and we are friends, what is there to talk about?"
Zhong Yu's voice was clear, revealing a calm patience, like the modest and gentle appearance on his face.
Ruan Mianmian bent the corners of her lips.
Yes, she's called people out, just ask any questions, and it's not a good idea to twist like this.
Ruan Mianmian raised his eyes to look at Zhong Yu, and said lightly: "Actually, I just want to ask you about Yu Ze. ”
"What's wrong with him?"
Zhong Yu raised his eyebrows, looking surprised.
Ruan Mianmian didn't want to say more about the specific details, so he replied vaguely.
"It's nothing, it's just that something happened and this person was involved, so I'll ask you. ”
Zhong Yu smiled clearly, and then he leaned back in the chair behind him, revealing a somewhat comfortable appearance.
He said lightly: "I met him at a wine party, and I don't know him very well, I don't know him very well, I only know that he is very interested in paintings, and I have encountered him a few times at auctions before." ”
Speaking of this, Zhong Yu couldn't help but pause.
"But didn't he go abroad before?
The words fell, and there was a sudden silence in the box.
Ruan Mianmian looked into Zhong Yu's eyes.
His eyes were clear, revealing a blankness, and he looked a little innocent, as if he was full of puzzlement about Ruan Mianmian's actions.
Thinking of this, Ruan Mianmian knew that her trip today was in vain.
Zhong Yu didn't seem to want to know anything inside.
"It's nothing, let's eat first. ”
Ruan Mianmian instantly lost interest in continuing to inquire.
Zhong Yu's face did not change, and he looked at Ruan Mianmian and nodded, looking easy-going.
He has a shallow and harmless smile from beginning to end, and no matter what he does, he will make the other person feel comfortable.
Probably if you want to talk, I can also talk to you, if you choose to be silent, then I will also take the initiative to stop that state.
In short, he has a quality that makes people feel free.
The meal was extraordinarily peaceful, Zhong Yu didn't talk much, Rao is Ruan Mianmian took the initiative to mention Yu Ze before, and he didn't have any doubts after that.
He seemed to have no interest in all this, like a man who had no desires and no desires.
At the end of the meal, the three of them walked out of the restaurant together, standing at the door and preparing to part ways.
Zhong Yu waved his hand at Ruan Mianmian and said, "Go back, I'll take a taxi on the side of the road." ”
After hearing this, Ruan Mianmian realized that Zhong Yu didn't drive when he went out today.
"Why don't we give you a ride. ”
Ruan Mianmian looked at Zhong Yu and made a proposal.
Zhong Yu looked at Ruan Mianmian, then at Ah Kuan, and finally his gaze fell back on Ruan Mianmian.
He smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, that's bothering you." ”
The group sat in the car, and after Ah Kuan drove the car steadily onto the main road, Ruan Mianmian looked at Zhong Yu beside him.
She asked, "Do you want to go straight home?"
Zhong Yu was stunned for a moment, nodded, and reported a list of addresses.
Ruan Mianmian couldn't help frowning, and she subconsciously replied: "I remember that you don't live here, right? ”
