Chapter 157: Chapter 157 Young Master Panicked
Mo Fei went to the corner under the guidance of the waitress, and Liu Xiaosheng and Zhang Mingjie hurriedly got up to greet her.
Although I hadn’t seen Young Master Liu for a couple of days, he was still as elegant and graceful as ever, “Miss Mo is really a busy person. It is really difficult to meet you outside of work. Haha, I’ve been to Fengchang twice, but I haven’t been able to invite you to dinner once. But Uncle Zhang was able to ask you to come out with just one phone call. It seems that I still don’t have the honor to invite you personally. Please have a seat.”
He was really silver-tongued. With such an enthusiastic opening greeting, not only did he take the initiative to find an excuse for Mo Fei’s repeated rejection of his invitation and her late arrival at the moment, but he also tactfully flattered Zhang Mingjie and his father, which naturally brought their relationship closer. At the same time, it also showed his generosity.
He was smart, very smart. Especially after that, he reached out and pointed to the window seat inside. If Mo Fei sat inside, she would definitely not be able to move easily. . .
Even if such a clever trick was seen through by Mo Fei, she would have no way to expose it. Mo Fei could not help but frown and deliberately ignore Liu Xiaosheng’s hand, “Where is Uncle Zhang? Is he not here yet?”
Liu Xiaosheng failed to get a handshake, feeling a little embarra.s.sed. Zhang Mingjie hurriedly said with a smile, “My old man said that there are some things he needs to deal with, and he will come over later. Let’s eat first, Ms. Mo, please. Hehe… Don’t be so serious, we are not here just for the business matter today. Young Master Liu wanted to invite you to dinner for a long time.”
‘Not just for the business matter today? Huh! You guys are clearly using the business matter to lure Mo Fei out!’
Mo Fei unconsciously glanced at the place where I was hiding. It seemed that she was feeling a bit strange that I didn’t follow her. Not unwilling to sit next to Liu Xiaosheng, she suddenly asked the woman next to Zhang Mingjie, “She is?. . .”
Zhang Mingjie introduced, “Shanshan, my girlfriend.”
“Oh?” Mo Fei deliberately showed a slightly surprised expression. Zhang Mingjie was pursuing Liusu and because he was jealous of my relationship with Liusu, last time, he allowed Li Qi and Hong Tao to cause a scene in the cafeteria. Mo Fei also knew all about these. So Zhang Mingjie couldn’t help but blush in embarra.s.sment, pretending not to understand Mo Fei’s surprise.
Although the woman named Shanshan seemed to be a foolish girl, she was very well-mannered. She gently nodded to Mo Fei without saying a word. Her eyes flash with a little envy and surprise, which was a normal reaction for a woman after seeing Mo Fei.
After Mo Fei greeted her, she said, “Are there only four seats?” The subtext was very obvious- including Zhang Li, there should be five people.
“We can add more seats,” Liu Xiaosheng obviously had already figured out how to explain this question, and smiled, “Today when I was chatting with young master Zhang, I heard some interesting gossips. Although it is not a matter of business, I still feel a little worried, and I’d like to share it with Miss Mo. Then I heard that Uncle Zhang just happened to have an appointment with you. So I shamelessly asked Uncle Zhang to give me the opportunity to arrange a place for the meeting. However, it was really a shame that because it was the last minute, I wasn’t able to book a room. I am really sorry about it.”
This guy had said almost everything, but there was one thing that he didn’t say explicitly. It was that Mo Fei didn’t give him any face. But because of his apology, it was also inappropriate for Mo Fei to say anything. However, what this guy didn’t expect was that the lie he gave had a huge flaw because although we didn’t have any reservation, we were still able to get a room. . .
Although young master Liu was a clever guy. But when he made one simple mistake, it would only make Mo Fei feel that he was scheming and unreliable even more. . .
Mo Fei gave a mocking smile, “Really? No room?. . .”
“The owner of this restaurant is a French investor. He only visits Bei Tian city occasionally a few times a year. In order to eat authentic French cuisine in a foreign country, he opened this restaurant, mostly to entertain his friends and some business partners in Bei Tian. They are not entirely doing it for profit. Because its authentic French decor and French dish, although the store is not big, it is famous in the upper cla.s.s of Bei Tian city. Not to mention a room, even a regular table needs to be booked in advance.” Liu Xiaosheng explained. Clearly, he had done enough homework for this explanation. “This location is actually not bad, inside is by the window, you can enjoy the night view outside the window, I think Miss Mo will like it.”
“I think young master Liu has misunderstood what I said.” Mo Fei smiled faintly, as bright as the spring sunshine, dazzling both young master Liu and Zhang for a while, “I’m just worried that there are too few seats here, and it won’t be able to fit many people.”
“Many people?” Liu Xiaosheng couldn’t help feeling confused.
“Ms. Mo, why don’t you wait for me?” In a loud shout in the restaurant, I made my debut in the image of a super hillbilly. . .
With a loud voice and striding like thunder, I greeted everyone, “Oh, young master Zhang, I’m sorry, I went to park the car, so I’m late. I am very sorry.” After that, I enthusiastically grabbed Liu Xiaosheng’s hand and shook it very hard, and slowly stood between Mo Fei and Liu Xiaosheng.
It was extremely embarra.s.sing. Not to mention Liu Xiaosheng, Zhang Mingjie, and that Shanshan woman, even Mo Fei also blushed in embarra.s.sment. Fortunately, my voice was just a little louder, if it were Granny Cheng, she would definitely sing rock and roll with a bottle of vodka in her hands in this kind of restaurant.
“Chu, Chu Nan! Why are you here? !” Zhang Mingjie exposed my ident.i.ty, and the expression of Liu Xiaosheng, who was originally slightly unhappy, immediately changed. What did this mean? It meant that the gossip that he wanted to share was definitely about me!
However, I ignored him and deliberately said sycophantically, “I’m currently temporarily working as Ms. Mo’s a.s.sistant. Ms. Mo is attending a business meal, so she brings me here.”
“Business meal?” Zhang Mingjie was confused for a second, Liu Xiaosheng immediately glared at me fiercely, and hurriedly said, “lower your voice, this is a luxury restaurant, not a company canteen!”
I just glanced around pretentiously, and sure enough, many customers looked at our table with contempt. I was a thick-skinned person, so I didn’t feel anything. And Mo Fei’s face was blocked by me, no one was able to see her face either. However, the people that couldn’t bear with other people’s contemptuous look the most were the two young masters and the other woman.
“Sorry, sorry, I’ve never been to such a high-end place, I’ve made a fool of myself,” I turned my gaze, looked at the woman named Shanshan in Zhang Mingjie’s arm, and exclaimed: “Young master Zhang, is this young lady your girlfriend? She is really pretty! You sure are a lucky man.”
How could Zhang Mingjie not tell the sarcasm in my words? He hurriedly pushed away the woman’s hand, and said anxiously before thinking carefully, “Friend, just ordinary friend.”
I quickly gave Mo Fei a look after he said it. Mo Fei was a clever woman. She immediately understood what it meant and then said in confusion, “Young master Zhang, didn’t you just say that she is your. . .”
Unexpectedly, Mo Fei’s acting skill was as good as little minx Xiao Yike. She deliberately stopped it halfway, as if she was hesitant. However, there was a faint contempt on her face when she looked at Zhang Mingjie; and a faint of sympathy when she looked at Shanshan woman. . .
“That. . .” Zhang Mingjie was at a loss for words.
When that Shanshan woman saw Zhang Mingjie denying the relationship with her, she was sad and angry. Moreover, Mo Fei’s sympathetic look was like a burning match that was thrown into a petrol barrel. She stomped her high heels a few times and said angrily, “Liu Xiaosheng, what do you mean? !”
“You lower your voice!” Zhang Mingjie panicked and suddenly lost his temper.
That Shanshan woman’s eyes were wide open in disbelief, “You shouted at me? !”
“So what! Don’t like being shouted at by me, you can leave!” Zhang Mingjie only hoped that this woman could disappear from my eyes immediately. If he let me have something on him, then how was he going to chase Liusu in the future? From this, it clearly showed that he was indeed obsessed with Liusu.
“You. . . you. . .” Shanshan was choked with tears, grabbed the bag and said bitterly, “If you didn’t beg me, you think I’d want to come here?!”
“Calm down, calm down, Miss Shanshan, Mingjie didn’t mean that,” Liu Xiaosheng hurriedly took a step forward, blocking Shanshan from leaving, frowned. “Mingjie, what you said is really a bit too much. Please apologize to Miss Shanshan.”
