I brought Shu Zhe to a table by the window. Even though it was only twenty steps from the room to the restaurant, I still felt awkward the entire time.
Shu Zhe held onto my arm tightly ever since we left the room. He was like my close girlfriend and I couldn't push him away.
Because there were many couples coming and going in the restaurant, I waited until Shu Zhe and I sat down before I questioned him with a face full of displeasure: "What do you mean? It's not like I hired you to act as my girlfriend like Xiao Ding! "
Shu Zhe, who had the appearance of a beautiful girl, covered his mouth and smiled sweetly, "Bro Ye Lin, you're so stubborn. This is a benefit I'm giving you. Don't you realize there are a lot of guys who are jealous of you? A lot of guys can't wait to eat with a beautiful girl like me! "
"It's not like you're really a beautiful girl." I ridiculed, "I might be happy if it was your sister, but you …"
Shu Zhe was a bit unhappy when I compared him to Shu Sha.
"My sister spends too little time on her appearance, she might not even be as pretty as me! Also, there's no way she would come to a place as luxurious as a music restaurant with you! She would definitely say you're wasteful! She doesn't understand the mood at all! "
As soon as Shu Zhe finished criticizing his sister, three foreign musicians began to play their violins on the circular stage of the western restaurant. The melodious music was soothing and attracted the attention of many customers.
"Huh? Isn't that Jiang Qian? " Shu Zhe suddenly exclaimed as he looked behind me. I turned around and sure enough, I saw Jiang Qian and her boyfriend sitting a bit further away from us and ordering from the waiter.
Jiang Qian has always spent money like water and everything she does is on a high level. It's not strange for her boyfriend to go on a date here — — she also gave him face and didn't go on a date with three boyfriends at the same time.
My position was in Jiang Qian's blind spot. She could only see the side of Shu Zhe's face from that direction. Although Shu Zhe looked similar to the class leader, his attire was very different. Just his brown curly hair was enough to show that he wasn't the class leader, so I wasn't too worried about Shu Zhe being exposed.
"It's fine." I said calmly to Shu Zhe, "Jiang Qian's seat is far away from us and there's a circular stage between us, so she won't see us."
"I-I'm not afraid of being discovered by her!" Shu Zhe said, "I'm several times prettier than her, and you're also a lot more handsome than her boyfriend. Jiang Qian should be avoiding us."
I turned around to look at Jiang Qian and Boyfriend No.1. I felt that Shu Zhe was telling the truth. Jiang Qian was the worse version of the class leader. Her number one boyfriend had oily hair, a smooth talker, and he wasn't as manly as me.
At this time, the waiter came over to take our orders. Shu Zhe immediately pointed at the most expensive items on the menu and ordered Alaska crab legs and Norwegian salmon. He looked at my expression as he ordered, wanting to know if my heart was aching or not.
The entire Monarch Building was Xiao Yin's property. Bribing Shu Zhe was a part of the "Perfect Victory Plan". I only needed to give a code to the waiter and I would be able to eat for free, so of course I wouldn't feel bad.
Shu Zhe saw that I had a calm expression and ordered a few more flashy but expensive dishes. Since I wanted to bribe him, I let him have his way. Now he's satisfied with being a nouveau riche in a high-class restaurant.
While waiting for the dishes to be served, Shu Zhe looked out the window at the night view of Dong Shan city while holding his cheek and asked me: "Brother Ye Lin, why are you so nice to me today? Is there something you need from me? Does it have something to do with my sister? "
"No, it has nothing to do with your sister." I was also looking out the window like Shu Zhe to organize my words. I didn't expect the 36th floor to make a person with acrophobia a bit dizzy. Not only was I unable to finish my sentence, but I was also so nervous that my face flushed and I broke out in a cold sweat.
Shu Zhe, who had been observing me, seemed to have misunderstood my expression.
"Eh? Brother Ye Lin, why are you blushing? Is it because I'm too ~ beautiful ~? "
As he spoke, he used his high heels to lightly touch me under the table, as if he was urging me to hurry up and answer.
I turned my face to the other side because of my acrophobia, but it made Shu Zhe think I was avoiding him.
When the large plate of lobsters was placed on the table, Shu Zhe's face also seemed to be reflected by the lobsters.
"Sigh, my sister really doesn't know how to enjoy life! Brother Ye Lin clearly has so many advantages, but my sister just doesn't use them! "
Shu Zhe sighed and began to cut the lobsters with his knife and fork. I was not as particular and directly used my hands.
The lobsters and Alaska crab legs were not as delicious as I imagined, but the Norwegian salmon was fatty and tender. I could see white lines on the flesh, which amazed me.
Xiao Qin loves seafood so much, I should bring her to try it next time …
Whether it was Xiao Qin, Winnie, or even Loud Mouth, I felt it would be more suitable than bringing Shu Zhe. Because Shu Zhe does not have a large appetite, and he does not get much pleasure from food. I think the only things that make him happy are the luxurious environment and the expensive meals.
In short, Shu Zhe likes vanity. As long as he can enjoy things that are more expensive than others and make others envious of him, he has nothing else to ask for.
Shu Zhe only ate a little bit of each dish to fill his appetite, and he paid attention to his' virtuous lady 'image the entire time.
If it was Xiao Qin, the crab shells in front of her would have already piled up into a mountain. If it was Winnie, she would have grabbed them with her hands without caring about her image. Shu Zhe's way of eating made me unhappy.
In order to not waste food, I opened my cheeks and stuffed everything into my mouth. Shu Zhe even scolded me a few times for being rude.
"Bro Ye Lin, don't be like this, it's like it's your first time eating here …"
"It's my first time eating here anyway!" I snorted, "You have to care about other people's opinions even when you're eating, don't you feel tired?"
I'm not sure what he was thinking, but Shu Zhe's expression suddenly darkened.
"Sigh, how great would it be if I could live in a luxurious villa in the future and have a professional chef to cook for me!"
"What's great?" I poured cold water on him, "Don't you see Ai Mi like that every day? But Ai Mi doesn't think there's anything good about big meals. If you let her choose, she would chew chips and drink coke every day! "
Shu Zhe was still frowning. He swirled the low-alcohol red wine in his goblet, which he insisted on adding to the atmosphere.
"Bro Ye Lin, Ai Mi was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, she doesn't understand the hardships of us ordinary people! Anyway, I want to live a life of the upper class, I don't want to be a salaryman who can only come to a high-end restaurant once a year! "
"Hey, why are you looking down on salarymen? Delicious food does taste good, but the most important thing is not what you eat, but who you eat with! The thing that left the deepest impression on me is when I went to a roadside stall to eat beer and kebabs after a game with my brothers on the basketball team! "
In order to express my disdain for the red wine on the table, I drank it all in one gulp. As a result, I choked a bit, so I quickly ate two pieces of broccoli to neutralize it.
Shu Zhe was so materialistic and vain, I suddenly thought of how to use him in the perfect victory plan.
The most perfect actor is the one who doesn't know he's acting. If Shu Zhe didn't know I was pretending to get back together with Ai ShuQiao, and didn't know I was pretending to be Ai Lin, then he wouldn't have exposed himself, and he wouldn't have been able to sell me out.
Thus I asked Shu Zhe: "If you were in my position, would you go to America to find your mother?"
"You can't say that …" Shu Zhe probably thought about my feelings and answered vaguely, "I just think you're too stubborn. It's because your mother didn't treat you well in the past that you should give her a chance to make it up to you and help her spend money!"
"But our conflict is already very deep!" I shrugged my shoulders and pretended to be helpless.
"It's fine, Ai Mi will be the lubricant in the middle!" Shu Zhe suggested as if he was thinking for my sake, "As long as you stop being so stubborn and give in verbally, you can spend the rest of your life lying on a pile of US dollars, it's a great deal!"
Hmph, no wonder he's a gold digger, I wasn't surprised he made this suggestion.
Today I didn't criticize him like usual, instead I pretended to be curious and continued to ask: "But I'm used to being poor, even if I have a lot of money, I don't know how to spend it. I don't have the motivation to recognize a thief as my mother …"
Shu Zhe became anxious, "How can you not have a place to spend money! If you don't know how to spend money, you can find me to spend it for you! You don't want to be rich, but I do! "
I laughed involuntarily, "I can feel your desire to be rich … but why should I share my money with you? Who are you to me? "
Shu Zhe bit his lips like his sister, "I, I'm brother Ye Lin's brother-in-law!"
"Hahahaha." I laughed a few times, "Your sister has a strong sense of justice, if I surrender to the evil Ai ShuQiao, she would definitely draw a line between us! She would also tell you not to associate with me! "
"That's why I said my sister is an idiot!"
At this time, the violin performance reached its climax and the audience put down their cutlery and applauded. Shu Zhe seemed to be influenced by the melody and he excitedly expressed his will to me:
"Just because you invited me to this restaurant, I won't ignore you in the future! My sister is too rigid about justice and evil. In this day and age, money is king! Don't worry bro Ye Lin, as long as you share your money with me in the future, I can guarantee my sister won't escape from the palms of your hands! "
I despised Shu Zhe's act of selling out his sister the most. Half out of mischief, the other half to act as Ai Lin, I smiled and tested Shu Zhe:
"You sound so sure, but what if you can't do it? If you can't get Shu Sha in the future, what will you compensate me with? Are you taking yourself? "
Shu Zhe suddenly blushed and looked at me with uncertainty. When he saw that my expression was still gentle, he hesitantly replied:
"Um, does bro Ye Lin think my sister and I can replace each other? Actually, if you treat me a bit more gently, I won't hate you … "
