Chapter 154: Chapter 154 Romantic restaurant, romantic seats
Dongfang Lianren was really worthy of being called a close friend of Chu Yuan, and she had confirmed that old saying: “Birds of a feather flock together” to the greatest extent. Her mouth was also sweet as if it was smeared with honey. She said hello to Liusu and me, and turned to look at Mo Fei, who she was not familiar with, a little surprised, “Elder Brother Nan, who is this beautiful elder sister. . .”
“Hello Elder Sister Mo,” Chu Yuan introduced Dongfang on behalf of me: “Elder Sister Mo Fei is my elder brother’s colle. . . boss, Elder Sister Mo, she is my classmate. Her name is Dongfang Lianren.”
“It’s friends. Yuan Yuan, whether it is boss, or superior, those are just names for distinguishing positions in the company. In private, your elder brother and I are friends, and just friends,” Mo Fei said while looking at Liusu, who was next to her. There was a faint of emphasis on the words: “Just friends.” Then she continued to look at Dongfang Lianren, “Hello, Yuan Yuan’s classmate. . .”
“Friend!” Dongfang brat squinted her eyes and said: “In school, we are classmates and friends, and outside of school we are best friends.”
I broke out in a cold sweat, Mo Fei only thought that she was funny, smiled slightly, and then said with a strange curiosity: “Your last name is Dongfang?”
Dongfang Lianren was dazed for a moment, and asked with a smile: “Yes, Elder Sister Mo, what’s the matter?”
“Oh, nothing,” Mo Fei frowned. “At first glance, I felt that you looked kind of familiar. . .”
I thought Mo Fei was curious, just like how I was when I first heard her name. After all, Dongfang was a very rare surname. After hearing her say this, I suddenly thought of the director of the Tulip Fishing Resort, Tang Lian. Could it be that Mo Fei had also seen Dongfang Lianren on a certain occasion?
“Really? Hehe, maybe it’s because I have a commoner’s face.”
‘Is Dongfang brat trying to be humble, or is she trying to mock commoners? If your face is a commoner’s face, then what about the real commoners’ face like mine?’
“Maybe it is your cute look that gives me this illusion,” Mo Fei stroked Dongfang Lianren’s head and smiled: “If I had ever seen such a beautiful girl like you before, how could I forget it?”
What she said was true. Dongfang Lianren was indeed a girl, who had a unique character, and it would be very hard for anyone to forget her after seeing her. Wasn’t this what happened to Tan Lian? He had just seen her in a hurry a month ago, but the image of Dongfang Lianren could be carved deep in his mind.
“Yuan Yuan, since Elder Brother Nan is here, I think I can go now. See you tomorrow.”
I couldn’t help but be confused. Did Dongfang brat take the wrong pill? Surprisingly, she didn’t want to cling on to Chu Yuan today. However, before I had time to rejoice, I heard Mo Fei say in a disappointed tone, “Are you not coming with us?”
“Me?” Dongfang brat smiled shyly, blinked those big melancholy eyes, and looked at me: “Is. . . this appropriate?”
‘Damn you, if you think this is not appropriate, then why are you grabbing Chu Yuan’s cuffs! You are clearly pretending!’
“It’s okay. If you don’t worry about going home late, you can come with us. In that way, Yuan Yuan will also have someone she can talk to.”
‘What is Mo Fei thinking? Is she not scared of having enough trouble?’
I hurriedly said, “Fei Fei, they didn’t invite them. I don’t think it will be appropriate for us to bring so many people.”
When reading novels on Qidian, there would always be some interesting tropes where the protagonist would make some foolish young masters spend a lot of money. Originally, I also wanted to follow this idea and make young master Liu and Zhang Mingjie pay for a huge expensive meal, but. . . If I brought my entire family to the dinner, it seemed that the most embarrassing person would be me, right? !
“Who is talking about them?”
“Huh?” Liusu and I were both stunned, and Liusu was puzzled, “If we are not talking about them, then?”
“It is me who invites Yuan Yuan and Little Dongfang to dinner, what is inappropriate about this?” Although Mo Fei was a woman who would normally speak seriously, at the moment, I clearly saw the sly brilliance flowing in her eyes. Shrugged, she smiled: “If someone insists on treating me to do dinner, I have no reason to refuse, right?”
I. . . was at a loss for words. . . completely speechless. . .
God! I thought I was already very mean, but I didn’t expect Mo Fei seemed to be even meaner than me! But as I thought about it again, I quickly realized what Mo Fei was planning to do.
No wonder she wanted me to come over to pick Chu Yuan for dinner. Her purpose was not to let Yuan Yuan and Dongfang see Liusu’s “family’s dirty laundry”. On the contrary, she wanted to help Liusu to take revenge on the young master Liu for constantly harassing her and being unfaithful to Ms. Shu.
LIusu didn’t know it, but I broke out in a cold sweat.
It was better to have wronged a narrow-minded nobody than upset a woman. The old sayings indeed never lie. I didn’t expect that Mo Fei, who was normally a serious person, would have such a scary side. . .
It was just that I couldn’t figure it out why Mo Fei would want to help Liusu. Earlier, they were still fighting each other secretly. Moreover, Mo Fei had never clearly mentioned her intention to punish Liu Xiaosheng to me. Obviously, she did not intend to let Liusu know about it. But why? From this, it could be clearly seen that Liusu indeed had misunderstood her.
Could it be that Mo Fei finally found and clarified the line for friendship?
. . .
The restaurant that Young master Liu booked was a French restaurant in the most famous commercial street in Bei Tian City.
Because we needed to pick up Chu Yuan, we had deliberately left the company 20 minutes early and avoided Zhang Mingjie. After receiving a call from Zhang Mingjie, Mo Fei said that she had something else that she needed to do and she would come to the restaurant on her own, so as not to let him and Liu Xiaosheng know in advance that Liusu and I would also come as well.
It was not a very large restaurant, but the decoration was extremely luxurious and elegant, with the characteristics of a European palace.
There were priceless oil paintings hanging on the walls, which could be seen everywhere in the restaurant, with a strong literary atmosphere. The dim lighting and soft French music were permeated with warmth and romance.
No country was more enthusiastic about the pursuit of culture, art, and elegance than French. And it was indeed true. After stepping on this thick, soft, and gorgeous carpet, even a commoner, such as me, would have a feeling of being nurtured and reborn. It was as if life had been enriched by this elegance.
The French restaurant that I had been to with Liusu before couldn’t compete with this one at all. This place was full of authentic french characteristics, but the place we had been to was like a cheap knockoff. Therefore Liusu and I both felt like country bumpkins after entering this place. Chu Yuan was even more nervous, and she held my arm tightly. This girl had never been to such a high-end restaurant before.
I secretly observed the reaction of Dongfang Lianren, and sure enough, her expression was the same as when I entered my kitchen, casual and natural. Occasionally, her eyes would have a flash of appreciation when looking at a certain painting on the wall.
Since we entered the door, Mo Fei’s face has been covered with a layer of frost. I couldn’t help but snigger secretly. Why would young master Liu who seemed to be a smart person, make such a silly mistake? With Zhang Li’s age, if it was a really serious business meal, he definitely wouldn’t book such a place, right? The romantic atmosphere here clearly revealed what he had in his mind.
Mo Fei was not in a hurry to find young master Liu and Zhang Mingjie, but asked the manager for a room on the second floor.
The room was small but very romantic. There was a long table with vases and candlesticks on it, and six chairs on each side. Mo Fei sat opposite me to avoid misunderstanding. Liusu hesitated a bit and sat on my left. Then Chu Yuan, who had been holding my arm, naturally sat on my right side; while Dongfang Lianren sat beside Mo Fei facing Chu Yuan.
As we looked at each other, Mo Fei and I both blushed, feeling slightly awkward. ‘Damn it, why does the table have to be rectangular? With such a romantic atmosphere of the romantic restaurant, sitting opposite and facing each other would make us more like a couple!’ Sure enough, my heart began to beat fast, and Liusu, who also felt something was wrong, had already stepped on my foot with her heel. . .
“Let’s change seats, let me sit next to Yuan Yuan!” Liusu was alert. Looking at Mo Fei aggressively, she said to me: “Men should be sitting on the side. Sitting in between women, are you not ashamed of yourself? Are you not afraid of being laughed at?”
“What are you talking about? This is my little sister, who would laugh at me?”
This bratty girl didn’t think properly before she spoke. There were only two people sitting on Mo Fei’s side. Even if we changed the seats, Mo Fei would still face me if she moved her seats slightly. And. . .
She had completely ignored or underestimated the existence of Chu Yuan!
