Chapter 45

The car stopped.

Contrary to Lu Zhou's expectations, he thought that Ms. Yang would take them to a place that seemed to be extraordinary, but the destination was a small street far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The marble-decorated facade is located in the depths of the unremarkable street, but it was unexpectedly not buried by the row of depressing small shops, but instead brought out a kind of stand-out taste.

Perhaps, this is the style of the rich?

Lu Zhou didn't quite understand.

After getting out of the car, Ms. Yang walked in front and walked into the restaurant with a group of people.

The decoration inside the restaurant and the low-key outside the restaurant are two completely different worlds. Under the marble statue at the entrance, flowing water flows by, and various potted plants complement the Western-style landscape, bringing out a sense of beauty that combines Chinese and Western styles.

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 very rich, or there is no place to spend the money...

"four people."

"This way, please." The waiter made a respectful gesture of invitation and walked to the booth on the second floor with the group.

Han Mengqi was still reluctant to sit with her mother and sat beside Lu Zhou.

Chen Yushan sat next to her aunt as she was in the car.

After the group took their seats at the booth, the waiter brought a glass of lemonade to each of the four, and placed two menus on the table at the same time.

After opening the menu, Ms. Yang smiled lightly and said, "The taste of this restaurant is very good, especially it is quiet and there is no noise in the city. It is not easy to find such a restaurant in a place like Jinling City. I recommend it here. The steak, and if the steak is not to taste, the paella is also quite good. Today I will ask, please be polite."

"Then I'm welcome..." Lu Zhou smiled cautiously, looking at the menu, but his eyebrows jumped fiercely.

Hold the grass, good Nima is expensive!

What the hell is 888's steak, let's have a plate of fried rice... Hold the grass? Hundreds of fried rice?

Killing people this is!

But looking at Ms. Yang's expression, she didn't seem to feel anything wrong.

Lu Zhou couldn't help sighing in his heart.

As expected of a rich person, I feel that the concept of consumption and myself are not in the same dimension.

Han Mengqi was not polite to her mother. She grabbed the menu in Lu Zhou's hand and quickly flipped through it. She pointed to the picture above and said, "I want a filet mignon 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 Spanish paella.

One is that I haven’t eaten it anyway, so I don’t want to be too ink. The second is that for him, eating with a knife and fork is still too particular. He is used to it casually, and it is better not to be ashamed.

As for Ms. Yang, I only ordered a salad.

Looking at the weight in the picture, Lu Zhou couldn't help but wonder, is this thing really enough to eat?

Perhaps because there were not many people in the restaurant, the dishes were served quickly.

Looking at the steaming seafood risotto, Lu Zhou couldn't help but move his index fingers.

Especially the mussels and scallops sprinkled with minced garlic looked quite delicious.

Han Mengqi, who was sitting next to him, quickly stole a piece of mussels before he started the spoon.

Lu Zhou frowned, but he didn't want to know her in general, so he pretended not to see it.

However, Han Mengqi's small movements obviously did not escape her mother's eyes.

"Meng Qi." Sure enough, Ms. Yang reprimanded.

The smile on Han Mengqi's face faded, and she looked to the side with a snort.

"Yang...Ma'am, I don't think it's necessary to be so strict. Han Mengqi may be joking." Lu Zhou smiled and reconciled.

"It's a matter of courtesy." Ms. Yang said seriously without giving in.

Lu Zhou looked helpless and said nothing.

He really has nothing to say about others educating their children.

Just a little sympathy...

After dinner started, the atmosphere was a little silent.

Feeling the cold war between the mother and daughter, Lu Zhou and Chen Yushan looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Chen Yushan: I'm sorry, I didn't know it would turn out like this.

Lu Zhou: It doesn't matter, in fact, I had expected it...

Um?

Lu Zhou suddenly discovered that he seemed to have mastered an amazing new skill.

Can you communicate with people just by looking at them?

what is this?

Is the tacit understanding cultivated by playing riddles with eyes for many days in the library?

or 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 was a little uncomfortable, Han Mengqi blushed and glared back: "Look, what am I doing?"

"Uh, nothing, I just think your food tastes delicious." Realizing his abruptness, Lu Zhou quickly retracted his gaze and casually found a reason.

Fortunately, Ms. Yang got up and left her seat to answer the phone at this moment, not paying attention to the small movements of the two.

Otherwise, I always feel that being seen by that stern woman would be a little bad...

In short, Han Mengqi actually believed Lu Zhou's reason, threw a small piece of steak into her mouth, chewed it, and said vaguely: "Well, it's okay... It's not as delicious as yours."

Feeling a little embarrassed to be praised, Lu Zhou smiled and said modestly: "Even if you praise me like that, it won't do any good."

"I never tell lies. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do." Han Mengqi rolled her eyes.

"You can still cook?" Chen Yushan glanced at Lu Zhou, who was sitting opposite, and whispered in surprise, "I can't tell..."

"Of course, what he made is delicious! Especially that one, what's it called... Mapo tofu, it's super delicious anyway." Before Lu Zhou could speak, Han Mengqi rushed to answer the question.

That expression seemed to be showing off.

"It looks very spicy when I hear it," Chen Yushan shrank her neck.

The last time Lu Zhou took her to eat Mala Tang, she cast a shadow over the spicy food.

At this time, Ms. Yang returned to the booth, and there was a very elegant-looking man next to her.

"Meng Qi, don't you say hello to uncle?" The man smiled.

"Hello uncle, goodbye uncle." Han Mengqi said carelessly without raising her head.

"You child..." Ms. Yang sighed and looked at the man apologetically, "I'm sorry, Meng Qi is now... like this to everyone."

"It's okay." The man smiled awkwardly, nodded to Chen Yushan and said hello, then looked at Lu Zhou, his eyes suddenly lit up, "You are Lu Zhou, right?"

Lu Zhou was a little surprised. He didn't know when he became so famous, but he was recognized at a glance.

Even if he walked on campus, few people would recognize him.

Although he was confused about how he knew his name, Lu Zhou stood up subconsciously and politely held his outstretched hand: "Hello... May I ask who you are?"

"I'm the manager of this restaurant and a friend of Ms. Yang." The man smiled, shook Lu Zhou's outstretched hand, and let go, "You're not bad, even Boss Wang's offer was rejected. "

"It's just that I'm busy with my studies, and I feel powerless." Lu Zhou humbly declined, but he was complaining in his heart.

Isn't it just pushing an offer, this is already the first few?

"My dear Du Haifeng, get to know each other, and we will have a chance to chat later." Handing a business card to Lu Zhou's hand, Du Haifeng said with a smile, "You eat first, and I will not disturb you."

Maybe it was because Han Mengqi's indifference made him feel a little uncomfortable, or maybe it was because he had something to do, but he really didn't stay here any longer, he turned around and left.

Sitting back in the booth, Lu Zhou picked up the business card and looked at it: A shareholder of Haifeng Capital?

Anyway, put this card away.

There is no harm in one more way.

If he wants to start a business in the future, he really needs this kind of connections.

Seeing that Lu Zhou accepted the man's business card, Han Mengqi seemed a little unhappy.

Capturing this change in expression, Lu Zhou made a random analysis 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 misfortune but has a good charm, and the other is a mature man with outstanding talents. Even if there are some popular plots in domestic TV series, it does not seem very strange.

emmm...

Some are hard to evaluate.

When it comes to emotional matters, once the family is involved, everything will become complicated.

Lu Zhou doesn't want to interfere too much in other people's lives, and he is very clear on this point.

Han Mengqi glanced at her mother, lowered her voice, and whispered beside Lu Zhou, "This guy is not a good person, you have to be careful of him."

"Okay." Because of the misunderstanding that occurred without authorization, Lu Zhou looked at her with caring eyes, maybe even with a little sympathy.

Although I don't recommend a stepfather, if the parents really want to remarry, the children will still resist, right?

Seeing that Lu Zhou obviously didn't take what he said seriously, Han Mengqi became anxious and said, "I mean it!"

Lu Zhou looked at her strangely: "I don't believe you."

"You!" Gritting her teeth, it seemed that she had decided to go for it. Han Mengqi's eyes swayed from side to side, she looked to the side subtly, and continued in a low voice, "I saw this, this Uncle Du..."

Lu Zhou: ? ? ?

The last sentence is too scary.

Reminds me of the phrase "good boy"...

Lu Zhou was so frightened that he almost threw the business card in his pocket out of the window.
