Chapter 161: Chapter 161 Playing
Even with all the food that had been eaten by other people combined together, they still didn’t eat as much food as I did. Most of the time they were only watching me eating. Liu Xiaosheng hadn’t had a chance to say anything. Seeing Mo Fei was eager to teach me how to eat the caviar, he picked up his gla.s.s and interpreted, “Miss Mo, all the dishes have been served, but I still have had time to propose a toast to you. Haha, thank you for accepting my invitation today. . .”
“Young master Liu, that’s very kind of you. We should thank you. Such delicious dishes, if you want to invite us the next time, we will definitely come again. Hehe. Cheers!” I didn’t think that I was a greedy person, but at this moment, I was in a great mood.
You have to know that those dishes were definitely not something that the working cla.s.s like me could often eat. Maybe, it was even impossible for some working-cla.s.s employees to eat in their lifetime. So I was genuinely grateful to Young master Liu, not just to interrupt him for the sake of interrupting him.
As soon as I finished, I emptied the gla.s.s first. Although I didn’t like to drink alcohol, this time, I didn’t mind it at all.
Zhang Mingjie was influenced by the atmosphere I created. He clinked his gla.s.s against mine and drank the wine. However, when he saw Liu Xiaosheng’s brows twitching, he almost spat out wine from his mouth onto Liu Xiaosheng’s face.
Liu Xiaosheng already knew that I was here to cause trouble for him. I didn’t even give him an opportunity to talk to Mo Fei. But because of my mysterious relationship with Mo Fei, he dared not to offend me rashly. Smart people were always very cautious, and being cautious was his biggest weakness.
However, when he heard that I said, “if you want to invite us the next time, we will definitely come again.” on behalf of Mo Fei, he seemed to have received a little psychological comfort.
He swirled his gla.s.s and took a sip, his eyes flashed a faint of sly gleam. I knew what he was thinking. He didn’t expect that I would appear this time. But next time, he would be prepared, and at that time, I would not be a threat to him.
Liu Xiaosheng had already misunderstood my relationship with Mo Fei, thinking that as long as he invited me as well, Mo Fei would not refuse his invitation.
“Hrrrk… Water! I’m choking!” I put down the gla.s.s, grabbed the wine bottle intentionally, and started to drink it from the bottle.
. . . .
Young master Liu had just taken a sip of the wine from his gla.s.s. He coughed immediately after hearing what I said, “Cough. . . . How can you choke on wine? !”
“Just kidding. I am just trying to liven up the atmosphere. Haha, Young master Liu, don’t tell me that you took it seriously?”
Both Mo Fei and Shan Shan couldn’t help but cover their mouths chuckling, making people wonder if they were laughing at my joke or at young master Liu’s gaffe. I shamelessly believed that they were definitely laughing at young master Liu, and young master Liu, who had high self-esteem, also thought that they were laughing at him and instantly blushed in embarra.s.sment.
He who was smart already knew that there was no way he would be able to do something to me, so he simply started to focus on eating. After all, he was the person who was paying for the whole thing, he didn’t want to spend money just to make himself angry.
Zhang Mingjie seemed to feel distressed that the half bottle of wine was ruined by me. He stared at the bottle in my hand, his eyes filled with reluctance. But in the next second, a faint of pretentious worry suddenly appeared on his face, “a.s.sistant Chu has drunk a lot, Miss Mo, I think it would be better to let Young Master Liu drive you back.”
Liu Xiaosheng couldn’t do anything because of my constant interruption. But when he heard what Zhang Mingjie said, he smiled immediately, “Yes, I think Miss Mo is also a little tipsy, and driving back alone is definitely not safe. . .”
Mo Fei remained calm on the surface as usual after hearing what he said, but under the table, she secretly reached out her hand and pinched my thigh. Although she didn’t drink much, her pretty little face was already flushing red, like a blooming rose. With a little bit of distress and troubled expression on her face, she looked like a delicate and weak girl that made people want to cuddle her in their arms.
Sure enough, this woman’s acting skills were as good as little Minx, Xiao Yike. . .
Finally, my effort of drinking so much wine to lure those two young masters into the trap didn’t go wasted. Since those two had taken the bait, it was time to excuse my plan.
Liu Xiaosheng was thrilled because, in this way, he could get rid of me and get the chance to be alone with Mo Fei. However, it was really a shame. . .
“No, no,” I smiled drunkenly, “We just happened to meet a friend who is also dining here when we came in. Our friend will send us back, so we won’t trouble you both, right? Fei Fei?”
Liu Xiaosheng was a little surprised, “Miss Mo’s friend is also dining here at the moment?”
“Yeah,” Mo Fei got my secret sign, and immediately put down her knife and fork gracefully. She smiled lightly and said, “If Chun Nan didn’t mention it, I almost forgot, I should go over and say h.e.l.lo to them.”
Sure enough, Liu Xiaosheng attentively said, “Since it is Miss Mo’s friend, I should also go over and say h.e.l.lo to them.”
Just like what I said to Mo Fei and Liusu, Liu Xiaosheng would definitely take the initiative to make this request. From Mo Fei’s surprise look, I knew that she couldn’t understand why young master Liu would do this.
It was actually very simple. First, I had seen Young Master Liu at the resort before. Although I didn’t dare to say that I knew this man very well, from what he did in the resort, I could tell that he was a man who valued grace and perfection. Then, out of mere courtesy, he would definitely make this request after hearing that Mo Fei’s friend was also in the same restaurant. And secondly, if I were him, I would also be curious about if this friend of Mo Fei was male or female, and how close their friendship was. . .
Of course, if he could, he might be able to show off his wealth in front of Mo Fei’s friend by paying their bill as well. It could also make a good impression in front of Mo Fei. . .
From the extravagant meal in the resort last weekend, it was not difficult to see that Young Master Liu would not be stingy in this regard.
“Okay.” Mo Fei’s quick answer made Liu Xiaosheng flattered. However, what he didn’t know was that he was being lured into a trap. . .
“Chu Nan, are you coming with us?” Mo Fei asked me pretentiously.
“Since Young Master Liu is with you, I don’t need to go. I haven’t finished eating those delicious dishes. . .” I reluctantly stared at the untouched ‘soft gold’. This was the first and possibly the last time for me to eat such an expensive thing. I really didn’t want to waste it.
Probably, this was the only thing I did tonight that made the young master happy. At this moment, his smile was so broad that it made his entire face look twisted, “In this case, Mingjie, Shan Shan, you will entertain a.s.sistant Chu for me.”
Without me this third wheel, there was no way Liu Xiaosheng would ask Zhang Mingjie to follow him as well. This was why people often say that a wise man could be ruined by his own wisdom. Being too smart was not necessarily a good thing.
. . . . .
As soon as Mo Fei and Liu Xiaosheng left, Zhang Mingjie stopped smiling, “a.s.sistant Chu, you. . . How did you know that my father couldn’t come to dinner tonight? ”
I finished the caviar on my plate and then held Mo Fei’s plate under Zhang Mingjie’s shocked gaze. After stuffing it into my mouth, I smiled mysteriously, “Didn’t I just say that I can predict the future?”
“a.s.sistant Chu, please stop pulling my leg.” Zhang Mingjie smiled bitterly and gulped down the wine in his gla.s.s, his eyes emitted a cold gleam suddenly, “What is the relationship between you and Ms. Mo and Miss Cheng?”
I smiled and said: “Deputy general manager Zhang, do you want to know it, or do you want to confirm what you already knew?”
Zhang Mingjie’s expression suddenly changed, “What do you mean? . .”
