Chapter 45: Pondering and Fearing
The car stopped.
To Lu Zhou's surprise, he expected that Ms. Yang would take them to a place that seemed unusual, but the destination was a small street away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
The marble-decorated façade is located in the depths of its unassuming street, but it is surprisingly not buried by the row of depressed small shops, but is set off with a kind of standing out from the crowd.
Perhaps, this is the style of rich people?
Lu Zhou doesn't understand very well.
After getting out of the car, Ms. Yang walked in front and led the group to the restaurant.
The décor inside the restaurant and the understated outside the restaurant are two completely different worlds. Under the marble statue at the entrance, the water is gurgling, and various potted plants complement the Western-style landscape, setting off a combination of Chinese and Western beauty.
Lu Zhou can now be sure that in such a deep alley to open such a stylish Western restaurant, the owner of this restaurant is either particularly rich, or has a lot of money and has nowhere to spend it......
"Four people."
"This way, please." The waiter respectfully made a gesture of please, and led the group to the booth on the second floor.
Han Mengqi still didn't want to sit with her mother, so she sat next to Lu Zhou strongly.
Chen Yushan still sat next to her aunt as she did when she was in the car.
After the group took their seats at the booths, the waiter brought a glass of lemonade to each of the four people, and two menus were placed on the table at the same time.
After opening the menu, Ms. Yang smiled faintly and said, "The taste of this restaurant is very good, especially quiet, without the noise of the city. It's not easy to find such a restaurant in a place like Jinling City. I recommend the steak here, and the paella is quite good if the steak isn't to the taste. Today I please, please be sure not to be polite. ”
"Then you're welcome......" Lu Zhou smiled solemnly, looking at the menu, but his eyebrows jumped fiercely.
Hold the grass, good Nima is expensive!
What the hell is the steak of 888, let's have a plate of fried rice...... Hold the grass? Fried rice in the hundreds?
Slaughter people, this is!
However, looking at Ms. Yang's expression, she didn't seem to feel anything wrong.
Lu Zhou couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
is worthy of being a rich person, and I feel that the concept of consumption is not in the same dimension as myself.
Han Mengqi didn't say anything polite to her mother, snatched the menu in Lu Zhou's hand and quickly flipped through it, pointed to the picture above and said, "I want a filet apple wood steak!" And this ice cream ......"
Chen Yushan also ordered the meal naturally.
It was Lu Zhou's turn.
Lu Zhou thought about it, and finally chose paella.
One is that I haven't eaten it anyway, and I don't want to ink too much. The second is that for him, eating with a knife and fork is still too particular, and he is used to it casually, so it is better not to be ashamed.
As for Ms. Yang, she only ordered a salad.
Looking at the amount on the picture, Lu Zhou couldn't help but wonder, can this thing really be full?
Perhaps because there weren't many people in the restaurant, the food was served quickly.
Looking at the steaming seafood risotto, Lu Zhou couldn't help but move his appetite.
In particular, the mussels and scallops sprinkled with minced garlic look quite delicious.
Han Mengqi, who was sitting next to him, quickly stole a piece of mussel before he could turn on the spoon.
Lu Zhou's brows jumped, but he didn't want to see her in general, so he pretended not to see it.
However, Han Mengqi's small movements obviously did not escape her mother's eyes.
"Mongie." Sure enough, Ms. Yang reprimanded.
The smile on Han Mengqi's face faded, and she snorted and looked to the side.
Yang ...... Madam, I don't think there's really any need to be so strict, Han Mengqi she might just be joking. Lu Zhou smiled and said with a smile.
"It's a matter of politeness." Ms. Yang did not back down and said seriously.
Lu Zhou looked helpless and didn't say anything.
He really doesn't have much to say about others educating their own children.
At best, some sympathy......
As soon as dinner began, there was a bit of silence.
Feeling the cold war between the mother and daughter, Lu Zhou and Chen Yushan glanced at each other, and they saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
Chen Yushan: I'm sorry, I didn't know it would be like this.
Lu Zhou: It's okay, in fact, I expected it......
Well?
Lu Zhou suddenly found that he seemed to have mastered an amazing new skill.
Can you communicate with people just by looking at them?
What is this?
Is there a tacit understanding cultivated by playing dumb riddles with eyes for many days in the library?
Or is it a system......
In order to confirm this, Lu Zhou looked at Han Mengqi.
Emmm……
It doesn't seem to work.
Being stared at by Lu Zhou a little uncomfortable, Han Mengqi blushed and glared back: "Look, what are you doing with me?" ”
"Uh, it's nothing, I just think you eat deliciously." Realizing his abruptness, Lu Zhou quickly withdrew his gaze and casually found a reason.
Fortunately, Ms. Yang got up and left her seat to answer the phone at this time, and did not notice the small movements of the two.
Otherwise, I always feel that it will be a little bad to be seen by that stern woman......
In short, Han Mengqi actually believed Lu Zhou's reason, threw a small piece of steak into his mouth, and said vaguely while chewing: "Well, it's okay...... It's not as delicious as you make. ”
was a little embarrassed to be praised, Lu Zhou smiled and said modestly: "Even if you praise me like this, it won't do me any good." ”
"I'm a man who never tells lies, and if you don't believe me, there's no way to do it." Han Mengqi rolled her eyes.
"You can also cook?" Chen Yushan glanced at Lu Zhou, who was sitting opposite, and whispered in surprise, "I can't see it......"
"Of course, he's delicious! Especially that, what's it called...... Mapo tofu, anyway, it's super delicious. Before Lu Zhou could speak, Han Mengqi rushed to answer this question in front.
It was as if he was showing off.
"It's very spicy when you hear it," Chen Yushan shrunk her neck.
Last time, Lu Zhou took her to eat Malatang, which made her spicy out of the shadow.
At this time, Ms. Yang returned to the booth, and next to her was a man who looked very elegant.
"Mengqi, don't you say hello to your uncle?" The man smiled.
"Hello uncle, goodbye uncle." Han Mengqi didn't raise her head, and said with a big grin.
"You kid ......" Ms. Yang sighed and looked at the man with a little apology, "I'm sorry, Mengqi is ...... now." This is true for everyone. ”
"It's fine." The man smiled awkwardly, nodded to Chen Yushan and said hello, then looked at Lu Zhou, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "You are Lu Zhou, right?" ”
Lu Zhou was a little surprised, he didn't know when he was so famous, and he was actually recognized at a glance.
Obviously, even if he walks on campus, few people can recognize him.
Although puzzled how he knew his name, Lu Zhou still subconsciously stood up and politely held his outstretched hand: "Hello...... Who are you? ”
"I'm the manager of this restaurant and a friend of Ms. Yang." The man smiled, shook Lu Zhou's outstretched hand, and then let go, "The young man is good, even Mr. Wang's offer was rejected." ”
"It's just that I'm busy with my studies and I feel powerless." Lu Zhou modestly excused himself, but he was complaining in his heart.
Isn't it just an offer, which is already the first few?
"Contemptible Du Haifeng, get to know him, and have a chance to talk about it in the future." Handing a business card to Lu Zhou's hand, Du Haifeng said with a smile, "You eat first, I won't bother you." ”
Maybe it was because Han Mengqi's coldness made him feel a little uncomfortable, or maybe it was because he had something to do, in short, he really didn't stay here long, turned around and left.
Sitting back on the booth, Lu Zhou picked up the business card and looked at it: Shareholders of Haifeng Capital?
Anyway, this business card is put away first.
There is no harm in having one more way.
If he starts a business in the future, he really needs contacts in this area.
Seeing Lu Zhou accept the man's business card, Han Mengqi seemed a little unhappy.
Capturing this change in expression, Lu Zhou analyzed it indiscriminately in his heart.
Could it be that this Mr. Du has an unusual relationship with Ms. Yang?
Everyone is an adult, one is a strong woman who has suffered family misfortunes but has a good charm, and the other is a mature man who shows talent. Even if there are some favorite plots in domestic TV series, it doesn't seem very strange.
emmm……
Some are difficult to evaluate.
Emotional matters, once it involves the family, everything will become complicated.
Lu Zhou didn't want to get involved in other people's lives too much, and he was very clear on this point.
Han Mengqi glanced at her mother, lowered her voice, leaned close to Lu Zhou's side and whispered, "This guy is not a good person, you have to be careful of him." ”
"Okay." Because of the misunderstanding caused by authorization, Lu Zhou looked at her with caring eyes, and maybe even with a little sympathy.
Although it is not recommended to be a stepfather, if the parents really want to remarry, the child will still resist, right?
Seeing that Lu Zhou obviously didn't take what he said seriously, Han Mengqi was anxious and said, "I mean it!" ”
Lu Zhou looked at her with a strange expression: "I didn't disbelieve you." ”
"You!" Gritting his teeth, as if he had decided to let go, Han Mengqi's eyes shook from side to side, looked to the side delicately, lowered his voice and continued, "I saw it, this Uncle Du...... He likes men. ”
Lu Zhou: ???
The last sentence is too terrifying.
I think of the phrase "the young man is good"......
Lu Zhou was so scared that he almost didn't throw the business card in his pocket out of the window.
