The car stopped.
To Lu Zhou's surprise, he thought that Mrs. Yang would take them to a place that looked extraordinary. However, their destination was a small street far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
The marble-decorated shop front was located in the depths of the unassuming street, but it was not buried by the row of desolate small shops. Instead, it was set off by the atmosphere of a crane in a flock of chickens.
Maybe this is the style of the rich?
Lu Zhou did not really understand.
After they got off the car, Mrs. Yang walked in front and led the group into the restaurant.
The interior of the restaurant was very different from the low-key exterior of the restaurant. There was a marble statue at the entrance, water was flowing, and all kinds of potted plants complemented the western landscape. It created a beautiful combination of Chinese and Western.
Lu Zhou was now sure that to open such a stylish western restaurant in such a deep alley, the owner was either very rich or had too much money to spend …
"Four people."
"This way, please." The waiter respectfully gestured and led the group to the booth on the second floor.
Han Mengqi still did not want to sit with her mother, so she forcefully sat next to Lu Zhou.
Chen Yushan sat next to her auntie just like she did in the car.
After the group of people took their seats, the waiter brought each of them a glass of lemonade and placed two menus on the table.
After Mrs. Yang opened the menu, she smiled and said, "This restaurant is very good. It's especially quiet and doesn't have the hustle and bustle of the city. In a place like Jin Ling, it's not easy to find a restaurant like this. I recommend the steak here. If you don't like the steak, the paella is also pretty good. It's my treat today, so please don't be shy. "
"Then I won't be shy …" said Lu Zhou as he smiled cautiously. He looked at the menu and his eyebrows twitched.
F * ck, so f * cking expensive!
What the hell is an 888 yuan steak? Let's get a plate of fried rice … F * ck? Fried rice is over a hundred yuan?
This is ripping people off!
However, looking at Mrs. Yang's expression, she did not seem to think anything was wrong.
Lu Zhou could not help but feel emotional.
As expected of a rich person. It felt like his concept of consumption was not in the same dimension as hers.
Han Mengqi didn't stand on ceremony with her mother. She snatched the menu from Lu Zhou's hand and quickly flipped through it. She pointed at the picture and said, "I want a Filet Apple Steak! And this ice cream … "
Chen Yushan also ordered her food naturally.
It was Lu Zhou's turn.
Lu Zhou thought about it and finally chose paella.
Firstly, he had never eaten it before, so he didn't want to waste too much time. Secondly, for him, eating with a knife and fork was too particular. He was used to being casual, so it was better not to embarrass himself.
As for Ms. Yang, she only ordered a salad.
Looking at the amount in the picture, Lu Zhou couldn't help but wonder if this thing could really fill his stomach.
Perhaps because there were not many people in the restaurant, the dishes were quickly served.
Looking at the piping hot seafood risotto, Lu Zhou couldn't help but feel hungry.
Especially the green mussels and scallops that were sprinkled on top of the garlic looked delicious.
Han Mengqi, who was sitting next to him, quickly stole a piece of the green mussel before he even touched the spoon.
Lu Zhou's eyebrows twitched, but he did not want to argue with her, so he pretended not to see it.
However, Han Mengqi's actions did not escape her mother's eyes.
"Mengqi," as expected, Ms. Yang reprimanded her.
The smile on Han Mengqi's face disappeared. She snorted and looked to the side.
"Ms. Yang … I don't think you need to be so strict. Han Mengqi might just be joking," said Lu Zhou with a smile as he tried to mediate.
"This is a matter of manners," said Ms. Yang in a serious tone.
Lu Zhou had a helpless look on his face and did not say anything.
He really had nothing to say about other people educating their own children.
At most, he felt some sympathy …
After dinner, the atmosphere was a bit quiet.
Lu Zhou and Chen Yushan felt the cold war between the mother and daughter. They looked at each other and saw the 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, I actually expected it …
What?
Lu Zhou suddenly realized that he seemed to have mastered a new skill.
I can communicate with people just by looking at them?
What is this?
Is this a tacit understanding from looking at each other in the library?
Or is it the system …
To confirm this, Lu Zhou looked at Han Mengqi.
Emm …
It doesn't seem to work.
Han Mengqi felt uncomfortable being stared at by Lu Zhou. She blushed and stared back, "Why … Why are you looking at me?"
"Uh, nothing, I just feel like you're enjoying the food," said Lu Zhou as he realized he was being rude. He quickly looked away and found an excuse.
Fortunately, Ms. Yang got up from her seat to answer a phone call and did not notice the two's actions.
Otherwise, if that strict woman saw this, it would be bad …
In short, Han Mengqi actually believed Lu Zhou's excuse. She threw a small piece of steak into her mouth and said while chewing, "Mmm, it's okay … It's not as good as your cooking."
Lu Zhou was a bit embarrassed by the compliment, so he smiled and said humbly, "There's no benefit in complimenting me like this."
"I never lie. If you don't believe me, then there's nothing I can do," said Han Mengqi as she rolled her eyes.
"You know how to cook?" asked Chen Yushan as she looked at Lu Zhou. She was surprised and whispered, "I didn't know …"
"Of course, his cooking is amazing! Especially that … Mapo tofu, it's super delicious, "said Han Mengqi before Lu Zhou could speak.
She looked like she was showing off.
"It sounds really spicy," said Chen Yushan as she shrunk her neck.
Last time, when Lu Zhou took her to eat spicy hot pot, she was traumatized by the spiciness.
At this time, Mrs. Yang returned to the booth. Next to her was a man who looked very elegant.
"Mengqi, aren't you going to say hi to uncle?" said the man with a smile.
"Hello uncle, goodbye uncle." Han Mengqi did not even raise her head as she casually said.
"You …" Mrs. Yang sighed and looked at the man apologetically. "I'm sorry, Mengqi … treats everyone like this."
"It's okay." The man smiled awkwardly and nodded at Chen Yushan. He then looked at Lu Zhou and his eyes suddenly lit up. "You're Lu Zhou, right?"
Lu Zhou was a little surprised. He didn't know when he became so famous. He was actually recognized at a glance.
Even if he walked on campus, not many people would recognize him.
Although Lu Zhou was confused as to how he knew his name, he still stood up and politely shook his hand, "Hello … May I ask who you are?"
"I'm the manager of this restaurant and Mrs. Yang's friend." The man smiled and shook Lu Zhou's hand. He then said, "Not bad, young man. You even rejected CEO Wang's offer."
"It's just that I'm busy with my studies, so I don't feel like it," said Lu Zhou humbly. However, he was complaining in his heart.
Didn't you just reject one offer? How many times have you rejected him?
"I'm Du Haifeng. Let's get to know each other. We'll talk again in the future." Du Haifeng handed a business card to Lu Zhou and said, "You guys eat first, I won't disturb you guys."
Maybe it was because Han Mengqi's coldness made him feel uncomfortable, or maybe it was because he was busy, but he did not stay for long. He turned around and left.
When Lu Zhou returned to his seat, he picked up the business card and looked at it. "Haifeng Capital's shareholder?"
I'll just keep this business card for now.
There's no harm in having more connections.
If he wanted to start a business in the future, he would need connections in this area.
When Han Mengqi saw that Lu Zhou accepted the man's business card, she seemed to be a little unhappy.
Lu Zhou noticed the change in her expression and began to analyze in his mind.
Could it be that Mr. Du has a special relationship with Mrs. Yang?
Both of them are adults. One is a successful woman who suffered from family misfortune, and the other is a mature man. Even if some of the popular plots of domestic television series happened, it didn't seem very strange.
Emm …
It's hard to evaluate.
When it came to relationships, once it involved a family, everything would become complicated.
Lu Zhou did not want to interfere too much with other people's lives. He was very clear about this.
Han Mengqi glanced at her mother and lowered her voice. She then whispered to Lu Zhou, "This guy is not a good person. You have to be careful of him."
"Okay." Because of the misunderstanding, Lu Zhou looked at her with caring eyes, maybe even a little sympathy.
Although he said that he did not recommend a stepfather, if the parents really remarried, the children would still resist, right?
Seeing that Lu Zhou did not take her words seriously, Han Mengqi became anxious and said, "I'm serious!"
Lu Zhou looked at her strangely and said, "I don't doubt you."
"You!" Gritting her teeth, Han Mengqi seemed to have decided to throw caution to the wind. Her eyes darted left and right as she subtly looked to the side. She lowered her voice and continued, "I saw it, this Uncle Du … he likes men."
Lu Zhou:???
The last sentence was too shocking.
He thought about the sentence "Not bad, young man" …
