Chapter 31: Eating with People You Don’t Dislike

"Two or three hundred thousand! That much!?"

"Ah."

At the dinner table, Lu Yao nodded:
"And that doesn't include scholarships. If my grades are exceptional, I can just apply for a scholarship from school, and then I won't have to spend any money on college in the next few years. I'll find a way to earn some money..."

Chen Aihua frowned immediately:

"Don't have such thoughts. You are a student, and a student's duty is to study hard. Besides... although our family is not wealthy, we don't have any foreign debts, and your father's car loan has been paid off long ago. The two of us have no problem supporting you and your sister. You... why are you talking about money all the time when you haven't even started college yet?"

As she spoke, she naturally attributed the reason to the changes in her son's life.

And if we were to say the only change in Lu Yao’s life recently...isn’t it because of those two women who don’t know what they do at home but are the best at squandering money?
Especially that girl named... Fox.

Thinking of this, she asked directly:
"How many days do you have left on this shift?"

"Not counting today, there are still five days."

“Why doesn’t today count?”

"Because I asked for leave."

"Then that woman is still looking for you?"

"...Mom, I just bought hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of clothes for my son."

"..."

Chen Aihua's brows furrowed more and more.

Finally, thousands of words turned into one sentence:

"Just these five days, you hear me? I won't do this again no matter how much money you offer me!"

"..."

"Did you hear me? Speak up!... I'm telling you, your sister will be back the day after tomorrow. She's been very busy. When she comes back, and you've received your grades and applied for college, we can go out and have some fun as a family. We definitely won't do this job anymore, understand!"

"I got it, Mom."

Seeing that his mother was starting to raise her voice, Lu Yao nodded:

"I promise you."

……

When it was almost 6 o'clock, Lu Yao took out a pair of casual trousers and the black Hermès shirt that cost yuan from his closet.

These trousers are from Armani.

You know what...luxury goods do feel different when worn. I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but when Lu Yao looked at himself in the mirror, he always felt that this outfit perfectly showed off the advantages of his height and long legs.

Hu Li does have a good eye.

But for some reason, he always felt that his face was getting paler and paler.

It’s not that he’s showing off, but he really lacks some clothes that can be matched with any occasion.

He had very few shirts, and the styles of them were all of the "young schoolmates" kind, which didn't fit the occasions that Xu Ruochu, Hu Li and the others went to.

This set is just right.

"Mom, I'm leaving."

"it is good."

Chen Aihua, who always loved to joke with her son, no longer had her usual sense of humor.

I just felt that my son suddenly became so mature after wearing branded clothes.

It was so mature that even her as a mother could hardly accept it.

In the end, she attributed her son's changes to the two female bosses.

There is nothing to take credit for, and no need to be upset.

I just feel more and more that my son should stay away from them.

As for Lu Yao, he had no idea what his mother was thinking. He just drove his X6 into the congested traffic on the road.

The address Hu Li sent was not far from his home. If he rode an electric bike, it would take him only 15 minutes to get there. However, the traffic was really congested in the direction of the Huangpu River at this critical moment. The X6 was like an old turtle, following behind other cars and moving forward little by little.

After driving for 40 minutes, he finally arrived at the area where these old houses were located at a little after :.

After confirming that the villa named "Mountain House" was the address the other party sent him, he parked his car behind a red Ferrari.

But he didn't dare get out of the car because he just saw someone in the driver's seat of the Ferrari in front of him.

It was not certain whether parking was allowed in this place. Although everyone parked on the side of the road, Lu Yao planned to drive around in circles if something went wrong.

Then, he sent a message to Hu Li:

"Sister Li, I'm already at the entrance of the hotel."

But I didn't expect that just after I sent the message, Hu Li called me:
"Hey, you're here?"

"Yes, Sister Li, I'm right at the door of the "Mountain House"."

"Then just come in and listen to the clouds."

“…Go in?”

Lu Yao's mouth twitched.

Although there is no no parking sign in this area, it doesn't look like a place where you can park.

"Well, just come in."

"……OK."

Lu Yao had no choice but to turn off the engine and get out of the car.

As soon as I got out of the car, I saw the Ferrari driver in front of me stretched out a hand, and the hand with a platinum ring casually threw the golden cigarette butt to the ground.

"Huh~TUI~"

A mouthful of spit also flew out.

I didn’t vomit on Lu Yao.

But the noise and behavior are really not worthy of this luxury car.

He didn't even look at what the man looked like and walked straight into the house.

The decoration is elegant and luxurious.

It’s no wonder that the hotel’s design is so expensive that you can tell at a glance.

The waiter came to greet him, and after telling him the name of the box "Tingyun", he led him in a direction.

After turning around several times in this courtyard-like restaurant, we finally arrived at the door of a private room with a sign that read "Tingyun".

The waiter bowed and stepped back. Lu Yao greeted him politely and then pushed the door open and walked in.

As soon as he entered the door, he was a little confused by the scene.

First of all, let’s not talk about the furnishings in the box.

Hu Li was still the only one on the six-person stage.

Lu Yao thought to herself, "Sister, if we are really destined to be alone, then can we just lie down and eat at home? Don't come to the restaurant all the time."

Besides, didn’t you say you had an appointment?

Where is this person?
Why is it you again?

Hu Li, who heard the noise, looked up and found that it was him. He smiled and waved, but did not speak to him. Instead, he shouted:
"waiter."

The door attendant came in.

"Hello, ma'am, at your service."

"Let's start serving the dishes."

"Ok."

The waiter nodded and left.

"have you eaten?"

Hu Li asked.

Lu Yao thought to himself, how should I answer this?

Eat or not eat?
But his eyes fell on Hu Li's left hand side.

At this six-person table, Hu Li sat in the third seat on the left side of the entrance.

According to the custom of "main seat", she is the second seat on the right hand side of the host.

This means that this meal was not treated by her.

On her left hand side, which is the first ashtray on the right hand side of the host's house, there is a cigarette butt. A golden cigarette butt.

Looks very familiar.

But he couldn't figure it out for a while, so he said:

"I haven't eaten yet."

Hu Li smiled slightly:
"That's perfect. Come have dinner with me. After dinner, we'll go learn Jiu-Jitsu."

"……it is good."

After thinking about it, Lu Yao decided not to ask any more questions and sat directly opposite Hu Li.

The main seat and the seat with the cigarette butt were left empty.

"How's the score estimate?"

"Uh... not bad."

"Really? How many points?"

Lu Yao decided to tell the truth:

"The minimum score should be around 707, and the current estimate is ."

"..."

Hu Li, who had already picked up the teacup, froze in his expression.

Looking at him, he subconsciously asked:
"How many!?"

"Seven hundred and seven. However, the composition and English essay cannot be detailed, so the final score is still uncertain. But the math and comprehensive science are full marks."

"...???"

Now it was Hu Li's turn to be confused.

Although she is older than Lu Yao, her range is also limited.

Even if you have left campus life, things like the college entrance examination will be deeply remembered by anyone who has experienced it.

What's more, even if she doesn't know much about the college entrance examination, she should understand the value of full marks in mathematics and comprehensive science.

"You study so well!?"

Lu Yao smiled and nodded:
"good."

"You call this okay?!"

Hu Li stared at Lu Yao with an extremely speechless look, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

At this time, the waiter also pushed the door and walked in.

She started serving the dishes.

The cold dishes were served first.

Honestly, it's exquisite.

The presentation of the dish is clearly Michelin style. No matter how much, the shape is really an art.

When Lu Yao saw that the dishes were all served, he thought for a moment and asked:

"Sister Li, is it just the two of us?"

Hu Li, who had recovered from his shock, nodded after hearing this, and said in a tone that still contained shock:
"I chased that man away."

"..."

Lu Yao's mouth twitched.

I thought that the guy you chased away is smoking at the door right now.

And Hu Li also saw his speechless expression.

Maybe it's interesting, or something else.

She held the teacup, looked at Lu Yao and said:

"Lu Yao, do you know what the happiest thing is for me?"

Then, without Lu Yao's reply, she continued:
“It’s eating with the family.”

After saying that, she shook her head:

"But I will never achieve this kind of happiness again in my lifetime. So, I'll settle for the next best thing. Do you know what a little happiness is to me?"

Lu Yao thought for a moment and replied:
“Eat with people you don’t hate.”

Hu Li's eyes lit up.

Looking at the big boy who came to "keep a date" today wearing the clothes she bought for him, the charm began to surge in her heart again.

"That's right, I just eat with people I don't hate. But... I'm actually very fickle. I might often put a person I don't hate on my list of people I hate just by saying a word or doing a small thing. And once I hate him, I will feel uncomfortable even sitting at the same table with him for dinner."

After listening to her words, Lu Yao finally understood...

It seemed as if I had accidentally touched the softest spot in her heart.

Of course, it is not excluded that the Queen is teasing him at this moment.

After all... it sounds like the other party has a lot of suitors, and it seems easy for her to manipulate a man's psychological feelings.

But no matter what, judging from the current situation, I should be one of the "not annoying" people.

After Lu Yao thought for a while, he said:
"The person that Sister Li is going to have dinner with today...drives a Ferrari?"

"what?"

Hu Li was a little surprised, but reacted immediately and asked:

"He hasn't left yet? How did you guess?"

"cigarette."

Lu Yao pointed at the ashtray:
"Just now when I got off the car, the cigarette butt thrown by the car owner in front of me was the same color as the one in the ashtray."

"Well, that means..."

She tilted her head cutely:
"He also threw cigarette butts around? Pah, what a poor character! He is OUT!"

After saying this, he turned his gaze back to Lu Yao:

"Sister, there is a vacant spot on my backup list now, do you want to take it?"

"..."

Lu Yao's mouth twitched.

But before he could say anything, the Queen of the Sea smiled playfully:
"Hehe, I'm just kidding. You're too young... you're at your most innocent. Even if I have no conscience, I can't extend my evil claws to the flowers of my motherland."

Lu Yao thought that the question of whether the love was pure or not should be put aside for now.

He was also in the mood for gossip, so he asked:
"Then...why did this person suddenly get eliminated?"

"Because he was arguing with my other backup."

"...???"

No.

you……

Ah? ? ?
Looking at Lu Yao's puzzled look, Hu Li revealed a ridiculous reason:

"If he wants to see me, I'll treat him to a meal. But if they have a fight and come to me to complain, that's not very responsible."

As she spoke, she shrugged:

"So I let him go."

"This……"

While the two were talking, the waiter brought the dishes again.
