Chapter 158 - As I expected
Chapter 158: Chapter 158 As I expected
As I expected, Zhang Mingjie wanted to drive away the woman, but Liu Xiaosheng didn’t want him to do so.
It was impossible for Liu Xiaosheng to let Shan Shan go. Wouldn’t it prove that Zhang Mingjie was guilty? And he actually wanted to chase Liusu? That way, if Zhang Mingjie still wanted to speak ill of me, it would make him look like he was doing it on purpose and for a selfish reason. Sure enough, Liu Xiaosheng did not give up his plan tonight because of my appearance. He was a strong-minded person, but because of this, Zhang Mingjie had to suffer.
Sure enough, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Zhang Mingjie’s eyes, but it was quickly covered up, and he coaxed Shan Shan, “My dear, I’m sorry. I was worried that you might feel embarrassed. That’s why. . . I’m sorry.”
Seeing Zhang Mingjie would rather take back his words than do something against Liu Xiaosheng’s will, it surprised me a bit.
Probably Shan Shan was reluctant to let go of Zhang Mingjie, this gold mine, she accepted the apology like a well-mannered lady, and rolled her eyes flirtingly at Zhang Mingjie, “That’s more like it. Is it that embarrassing for me to be your girlfriend? Humph!”
Liu Xiaosheng nodded in satisfaction, “Shan Shan is right. A happy family means wealth, don’t you think so? Hehe… Anyway, let’s not keep this in our minds. Everyone, let’s sit down, sit down.”
‘A happy family means wealth’, these five words made Zhang Mingjie feel like he had been stung by a hornet, his brows twitched a few times. At this moment, a refined French man who looked like a manager came over, slightly reduced his embarrassment. The manager said to us in fluent Chinese, “Sorry, sir and madam, could you lower your voice? It will disturb other guests’ dining. . .”
“I’m sorry, we will lower our voices.” Liu Xiaosheng interrupted others in a polite manner, “Can we have one more seat at this table?”
“Of course,” the Frenchman immediately said to the waiter behind him, “Bring a chair for this gentleman.”
“Mw?” Liu Xiaosheng was dazed for a moment. When he turned to look at me, his eyes almost popped out of his eye sockets.
“Ms. Mo, is it really appropriate for me to sit at the same table with you?” Although I said it like this, I had already sat on the seat Liu Xiaosheng kept for himself, taken the juice that the waiter handed Mo Fei, and gulped it down like I had just survived from the Sahara Desert.
“Is there anything inappropriate?” Mo Fei asked Liu Xiaosheng as if to verify: “I don’t think you would mind, right? Young master Liu.”
No matter how clever Liu Xiaosheng was, he still couldn’t think of a suitable countermeasure for a while, “I, I don’t mind… But, if Mr. Chu is sitting here. . . I think it is much better for Mr. Chu…”
Liu Xiaosheng wanted to tell me very implicitly: You are not qualified to sit here!
“There is no need to trouble other people. This seat is quite good,” I said shamelessly, ignoring what he tried to hint at me, “I don’t know how to eat French food, Ms. Mo, I will have to trouble you to teach me later.”
Mo Fei definitely laughed loudly inside, but she still needed to nod calmly, “Okay.”
As soon as she said this, who couldn’t tell that Mo Fei was very tolerant of my behavior? It made both young masters question our relationship even more. Like me, both of them also knew Mo Fei’s indifferent and aloof character better than other people.
Young master Liu was originally such a refined and graceful man. At this moment, his handsome face had turned completely livid like a pig liver, “This. . .”
“Uncle Zhang wants to discuss something about business, right?” Mo Fei smiled dignifiedly, but this rare smiling face was not to comfort the extremely frustrated Young Master Liu, but to me, “If you sit here, you can also help me to take note lest I will forget it. Moreover, it seems that it is not easy to reserve a table at this restaurant, so let’s not cause too many troubles for young master Liu.”
“Is that so? Okay, if you insist, then I will just sit here.” Seeing my reluctant expression, the breath exhaling from the noses of young master Liu was so hot that it was like there was a fire burning within him.
Mo Fei and I echoed each other during the entire conversation, not giving young master Liu a single chance to butt in. Moreover, young master Liu also didn’t know what to say. He couldn’t just tell us last minute that Zhang Li would not show up tonight, right? Moreover, it was also him, who said that it was not easy to reserve a book in this restaurant. So he also couldn’t change to a bigger table either.
On the other hand, a trace of a smile flashed in the corner of Zhang Mingjie’s lips. He was obviously laughing at the fact that it had taken young Master Liu a lot of effort to invite Mo Fei to dinner, but in the end, he was creating an opportunity for me.
“Sir and madam, are you ready to order anything?” The handsome waiter who got us a chair suddenly intervened in the conversation, which made Liu Xiaosheng collect himself.
Even if Young Master Liu was unwilling to accept it, he was still unable to change anything at this moment, and he did not dare to show hostility to me. Sitting at one end of the long table in an awkward position, he then took the menu and asked Mo Fei, “What does Miss Mo like to eat?”
After witnessing how uncouth I was, he didn’t plan to ask me for my opinion at all. However, I also noticed that he did not look at the menu. Probably this young master Liu didn’t know french, and also thought that Mo Fei, who had come back from abroad, also didn’t know much about it.
But seeing his calm look, I guessed that he was probably like Dongfang Lianren, only remembering those dishes that he normally ordered. He was probably waiting for Mo Fei to say that she didn’t know about the menu, then he would be able to show off his limited knowledge.
But what he didn’t know was that actually, Mo Fei’s French was very good. Noticing that she was about to take the menu, I immediately grabbed her hand under the table. Mo Fei shuddered slightly in shock, her face blushed. Then I revealed a greedy look, took over the menu before her, and said shamelessly, “Thank you, thank you. Mr?. . . By the way, how should I dress you?”
Liu Xiaosheng’s anger almost erupted, his expression clearly said: You punk just remember to ask who I am now?
But in fact, I think he would rather want me to forget what he was. . .
Realizing that I didn’t know the identity of Liu Xiaosheng, Zhang Mingjie thought that Mo Fei hadn’t mentioned it to me, so his face instantly lit up, then he quickly introduced before Mo Fei even talked, “Young Master Liu is an old customer of our Fengchang Group.”
He was probably afraid that I had heard of Liu Xiaosheng’s name from Shu Tong, so he did not give out his full name. This made Liu Xiaosheng secretly let out a long sigh of relief. Then I continued, “Since it is the young master Liu’s invitation, are you sure it is okay for us to order?”
“It doesn’t matter, Mr. Chu can order whatever you like.” There was a look of ridicule in Liu Xiaosheng’s eyes, presumably because he thought that I didn’t know that there was no Chinese character in the menu, and he wanted to see me making a fool of myself.
“Young Master Liu is really a generous person, so it would be very impolite of us to keep refusing it,” I handed the menu to Mo Fei and said, “Fei Fei, can you order some dishes for us.”
As soon as I said ‘Fei Fei’, both young masters were dumbfounded, as if such a title was more unbelievable than Mo Fei’s fluent French at the moment.
Moreover, the assistant actually asked the superior to order food, but the superior was surprisingly obedient. This illogical shock might have directly damaged their brains.
Perhaps it was something that Mo Fei said to the waiter. The waiter glanced at Liu Xiaosheng and Zhang Mingjie with a weird look. Then he no longer spoke in Chinese.
During the conversation he had with Mo Fei, there was a faint of hesitation on his face. Then Mo Fei took out the Platinum Rose VIP card that she had borrowed from Dongfang Lianren and gave it to him.
I was speechless. . .
I seemed to understand why Mo Fei wanted to borrow this card from Dongfang Lianren and what she had asked the waitress before leaving the room. . .
Poor Young Master Liu, although he was curious about the card, he didn’t understand French at all, so he would not rush to ask what Mo Fei had said. Otherwise, it would only embarrass him. Moreover, his attention wasn’t all just on Mo Fei. Ignoring the waiter leaving with the card, he forced himself to smile at me calmly, “Mr. Chu, the relationship between you and Miss Mo doesn’t seem to be between the general manager and assistant. . .”
“Is it?” Without waiting for Liu Xiaosheng to finish speaking, I asked: “Then what kind of relationship does Young Master Liu think we are in?”
A man’s pride predestined his bellicose nature and vanity that refused to admit defeat. Especially in the presence of the opposite sex or in the fight for the opposite sex. There was no denying that Liu Xiaosheng was a nearly perfect man. However, his only shortcoming was his overconfident sense of superiority. Therefore, he refused to ask us whether we were dating each other.
Liu Xiaosheng didn’t ask, so Zhang Mingjie asked, “Could it be that Brother Chu and Ms. Mo are dating each other?
