Chapter 199: Worried
At five o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, Lu Tao called Du Xiaoyu and asked, "Xiaoyu, are you free at night?" β
Du Xiaoyu happily replied: "I am free! I have a rest during this time, and I am free every day, as long as you make an appointment with me, I will be on call." By the way, are you still in the village, where do you eat at night?"
"Let's find a secluded place to eat tonight, there's something I want to tell you. Wait for you to take a taxi to the 'Old Farmer Native Restaurant' in the eastern suburbs, the food there tastes better, the environment is also good, if you arrive first, book a small box and wait for me, I may not arrive until about six o'clock. β
When Du Xiaoyu heard Lu Tao say that he wanted to tell her something, he couldn't help but be surprised: Could it be that he already knew his true identity? If this was the case, how should he explain it to him? Will he blame himself for deceiving him?
It turned out that Du Xiaoyu knew that Lu Tao had a deep grudge with his father and brother-in-law, although now his father had taken the initiative to show him goodwill and ask for peace, but Lu Tao was a jealous and hateful person, if he learned that he was born in an underworld family, let alone fall in love with her, he was afraid that his friends would not be able to do it.
But now, she has fallen in love with Lu Tao like a demon. In order to fight for the opportunity to be with him, she did not hesitate to give up her life and work in the provincial capital and returned to Taolin County, which she did not like, without hesitation......
She didn't tell Lu Tao about all this, and she didn't dare to tell Lu Tao: because she was afraid that after Lu Tao knew the truth, she would not understand her hard work, and would not accept her evil deeds and infamous underworld family, and she was even more afraid that he would think that he was like her two sisters, an unscrupulous woman who had no shame and self-esteem and was willing to be a junior for others......
Therefore, although she wants to be with Lu Tao all the time, she is very afraid of being with him: because when the two of them are together, they will inevitably talk about the families and relatives and friends of both sides. Very angry, the consequences must be serious, if you directly tell him his true identity, with his current hatred for the Liu family, maybe he will immediately cut off contact with himself, in that case, all his efforts will be in vain!
After thinking about it, she decided to hide it for the time being, so that at least for now, he would not refuse to associate with her. As long as she has the opportunity to date, she can find ways to make him like and fall in love with herself. During this period, he can also secretly play the role of matchmaking, trying to facilitate the easing of relations between him and his father, so that he no longer hates the Liu family. When two people enter the period of love, just slowly tell him the truth......
What made her happy was that during this period of communication, Lu Tao did not doubt her true relationship with the Liu family, and did not even ask her about her family situation.
She guessed: There are three reasons why Lu Tao did not associate her with the Liu family: first, he has a preconceived impression that he is alone and working in the provincial capital, taking that salary every month, and going to Yaqin Performing Arts Bar to perform to earn extra money, so he must be born in an ordinary or even poor family, and he must not be linked to the Liu family, the richest man in Taolin; secondly, he followed his mother's surname Du, not Liu, which must be difficult for him to think of; third, he once told Lu Tao that she also hated Liu Hong, and Lu Tao definitely never imagined that his daughter would hate her father, so he no longer doubted herβ¦β¦
However, although Lu Tao is still in the dark now, Du Xiaoyu knows that this is not a long-term solution, and one day he will learn the truth. She has been silently looking forward to this day coming later, it is best to wait for Lu Tao to fall in love with her and the relationship between the two people stabilizes, and then let him know the truth, in that case, maybe there is a remedy.
However, today's call from Lu Tao to invite her to dinner made her feel a little panic and uneasiness: he suddenly took the initiative to ask himself to dinner, and he wanted to find a secluded restaurant, did he really already know his identity?
With this apprehensive mood, Du Xiaoyu took a taxi and rushed to the "Old Farmer's Native Restaurant", booked a small box, sent a message to Lu Tao, told him the box number, and then sat in the box, drinking tea restlessly, while waiting for Lu Tao to come over.
At six o'clock, Lu Tao pushed open the box door on time and walked in. Du Xiaoyu first looked at his face, saw him with a smile on his face, and greeted him while walking inside, and the stone in his heart suddenly fell halfway: his relaxed and natural appearance was obviously not about to talk about any serious topics with him, it seemed that he was too worried......
After Lu Tao sat down, he asked very enthusiastically: "Xiaoyu, have you read the menu? β
Du Xiaoyu joked: "Can I really order casually? Then I will order all the dishes on the menu, don't you feel distressed?"
Lu Tao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said: "All the dishes in this store don't add up to twenty, and the price is very cheap, even if you order them all, the total may not be as good as the bottle of red wine you invited me to eat seafood last time." As long as you're happy, order them all, you taste a little bit of everything, and I'll take them home if you can't finish them. Hahaha!"
Seeing that he was smiling so happily and heartily, the stone in his heart fell to the ground completely, stuck out his tongue, smiled at him charmingly, and said: "In your eyes, am I just a glutton? If you really order so many dishes, the shopkeeper will think that there are two nervous crazy people here! It seems that you come here to eat more, just choose three or four refreshing home-cooked dishes, not big fish and big meat." β
Lu Tao responded with a hello, called the waiter over, and ordered a "gastrodia steamed pigeon", a "green pepper tenderloin", a "braised rice field fish", and a "fried sprout white with chopped pepper", and then asked Du Xiaoyu: "Do you want to drink some wine?"
Du Xiaoyu didn't like to drink, but as long as she was with Lu Tao, she was willing to drink a little, and she especially liked the feeling of being half-drunk and slightly drunk - because in this state, she felt that she was the most relaxed, and some things that she usually didn't dare to say could be said. Moreover, she once secretly looked in the mirror, in a half-drunk and slightly drunk state, her face was the most delicate and watery, and she was willing to show her best image and state in front of her beloved......
Therefore, when Lu Tao asked if she wanted to drink, she nodded and said, "I can drink a little with you, but I can't drink liquor!"
Lu Tao smiled, pulled his briefcase, took out two bottles of red wine from it like magic, and put them on the table, and said a little proudly: "I know you only drink red wine, but there are only small bottles of liquor and beer in this small shop, so I just went to a tobacco and alcohol wholesale department to buy two bottles of red wine." These two bottles are not very good brands, but they are also authentic French products, and you will know when you taste them. β
