Chapter 1728 – Sending Flowers
"It's Jianwen and Uncle An …" Mengyao frowned. "Dad couldn't reject them, they're our old neighbors, so …"
"Jianwen? House An wants to treat you to a meal after being humiliated in the noble house meeting? They're not trying to get close to Shield Bro, are they? " Yushu had seen House An leave the noble house meeting, so she found it strange that House An was treating them to a meal all of a sudden.
"I'm not sure about that, dad said that they're just business partners and old friends, they didn't mention anything else …" Mengyao shook her head.
"Doesn't matter, let's go check it out tonight!" Lin Yi said. "If it's just a meal, then we'll eat. As for other things, we'll see."
Soon, Pengzhan called again, confirming the restaurant. It was a comprehensive buffet restaurant with different cuisines from different countries. Of course, the price wasn't cheap.
At five at night, Lin Yi drove Mengyao, Yushu, and Tang Yun to the restaurant they agreed on. They parked the car and the four entered the restaurant.
An Mingyue, Jianwen, and Pengzhan were already there, waiting at the resting area on the first floor. Pengzhan waved his hand when he saw Lin Yi and the others.
"Yao Yao, you've gotten prettier in a few days!" Jianwen smiled as he took out a bouquet of flowers from somewhere and handed it to Mengyao.
"Really? I haven't been resting well these past few days, and I don't look well. You should get a pair of glasses. " Mengyao didn't care at all for Jianwen's praises, nor did she care about the flowers.
Jianwen was a little awkward- he didn't know why Mengyao didn't like him. Weren't they getting along well when they were kids? Why did they become so distant after they grew up? He didn't seem to understand Mengyao at all.
In fact, if he looked at it from another angle, he didn't understand Mengyao, but Mengyao didn't understand him either. How could Mengyao know what he was doing in the dark?
"Ha, Yao Yao, you really know how to joke around. But even if you don't look well, you're still pretty!" Jianwen smiled as he raised the flowers in his hand. "Fresh flowers with a beauty, for you!"
"Give it to Lin Yi." Mengyao didn't want to accept the flowers.
"Ah?" Jianwen paused. He wasn't gay, so why would he give the flowers to Lin Yi?
But before he could react, the flower in Jianwen's hand was already in Lin Yi's! Lin Yi divided the flowers into three portions and gave them to Tang Yun, Mengyao, and Yushu. "For you guys!"
"Thank you!" Mengyao happily accepted the flowers from Lin Yi, and Tang Yun and Yushu happily accepted them as well.
Jianwen gritted his teeth in anger, but there was nothing he could do. "Let's go, I heard that Shu wants to eat steak, so I booked this buffet restaurant. The steak here is very authentic, and there are many snacks from all over the world!"
When they entered the restaurant, Jianwen swiped his card. There was a total of seven people eating, and it cost more than twenty thousand yuan. The cost here wasn't low, and it wasn't lower than those high-class hotels. And that didn't include the drinks. If they wanted red wine, they would have to pay separately!
The restaurant was very big, and there weren't many customers. The environment was very elegant, and there were small booths and private rooms. There was even a bar counter for customers to choose from.
"Old friend, we've been doing business together for a long time, but it's been a long time since we sat down and drank together like this!" An Mingyue smiled. "Let's sit at a table, and let the kids sit at another table. We won't disturb each other."
House An's actions this time surprised Lin Yi. The two didn't seem to have any awkwardness like they did at the noble house meeting. It was as if the noble house title didn't mean anything to House An, and they really did treat Pengzhan this time to reminisce about the past!
After all, the father and son didn't have the slightest intention of getting on Lin Yi's good side!
This made Lin Yi sigh in relief, but at the same time, he was confused! Lin Yi was afraid that An Mingyue would ask Pengzhan for them to join the Practitioners' Union. If Pengzhan really did ask, Lin Yi wouldn't be able to reject him!
But now, that worry was gone. But the two's actions made Lin Yi feel strange! Could it be that An Mingyue and Jianwen really didn't care about the noble house title? Or did they have something else to rely on?
As he was thinking, Jianwen smiled at everyone. "Let's sit here, don't disturb the elders!"
With that, Jianwen pointed at a rather large open booth not too far away.
This booth was for six people, meaning that only three people could sit in a row. Jianwen's arrangement meant that he wanted to sit next to Mengyao! After all, Lin Yi and Tang Yun were a couple, and they couldn't be separated. Between Mengyao and Yushu, one had to sit next to him!
But as far as he was concerned, Yushu would either sit next to Lin Yi or Mengyao. There was no way she would sit alone next to him.
Mengyao, naturally, understood what Jianwen was thinking. But in this restaurant, it was either a four or six person table. If there were more people, they would have to go to a small room. Pengzhan and An Mingyue weren't with them, so it wasn't appropriate for them to go to a private room. Hence, a six person booth was the best choice.
But when they got close to the booth, Mengyao said, "We girls can sit on one side. You guys can sit on the other side?"
Lin Yi didn't mind, but Jianwen was pissed. It took him so much effort to come up with such a good idea, and it was ruined just like that. But he couldn't say no right now. It'd look like he had bad intentions if he did.
"Sure, it doesn't matter where we sit. The most important thing is to eat. The food here is good, and there are snacks from all over the world. They're all very authentic. I've been here once, so let me be your guide!" Jianwen said as he picked up his plate like a gentleman.
"Jianwen, your House An doesn't seem to be affected?" Lin Yi couldn't help but ask. Jianwen gave him a very strange feeling. House Kang and whatnot wanted to join the ranks of the noble houses, but House An didn't seem to have that intention at all.
"Haha, Lin Yi, that's a different thing. We might have some conflicts and misunderstandings, but I'm the host right now. I'm treating Yao Yao's family to a meal. Give me some face, and let's not talk about this for now." Jianwen said with a carefree smile.
