Chapter 25: Dinner
"Lu Tao, why are you so crazy? Wait for me."
At the entrance of the police station, Mi Lai chased after Lu Tao who ran out angrily.
"I'm crazy. What does that bastard mean?"
After running for a while, Lu Tao finally stopped, turned around and questioned Mi Lai who was coming towards him.
"What do you mean, which sentence?"
Milai was really confused.
"He said I'm lucky this time, so I'm lucky to have a girlfriend like you?"
Lu Weiping was naturally angry when things ended like this. Before leaving, he left this sentence to challenge Lu Tao; he said the word "competent" in a meaningful way, and Lu Tao got it accurately.
"He just wanted to make you angry, so don't worry about him," Mi Lai comforted her. She didn't think much about it, thinking that she was the one who said this because she helped pay for the compensation.
"Who did you ask for help? It's too unreliable to ask us to pay so much money."
Lu Tao said this not just as a complaint. Although he was worried, he was not stupid. He just wanted to sneak up on the person who knew Mi Lai's invitation.
"I'm looking for my best friend's boyfriend; the money isn't actually that much, I just need to help you solve the problem."
Mi Lai stepped forward, gave Lu Tao a hug, and said against his chest.
"They have helped us so much, why don't you treat them to a meal?"
It's not that Lu Tao doesn't believe Mi Lai, it's just that what he just said put a thorn in his heart and he wants to pull it out.
"Let me ask if they have time."
Through Xia Lin's words, Mi Lai knew that Guan Peng was very busy and might not have time, so his words were a bit vague; but in Lu Tao's eyes, it made Mi Lai feel guilty. Could it be that he was really being cheated on?
"Why don't you call now and see if they are available?"
Lu Tao urged.
"Okay, then I'll ask them."
Although I don't know why Lu Tao changed so much. He complained that the person was unreliable, and then said that he wanted to treat someone to dinner, but Mi Lai still made the call.
"Invite us to dinner, okay, but I have to book the place this time?" Guan Peng happened to be beside Charlene when Mi Lai called.
Guan Peng said this very loudly, and Mi Lai on the other end of the phone naturally heard it.
"Okay, okay, it's your decision."
Mi Lai doesn't think how much money can be spent on a meal, it's very grand.
"Don't go too far later. I don't have many good friends."
Xia Lin often eats with Guan Peng, knowing that it is nothing for him to spend tens of thousands of yuan on a meal, but she is afraid that if he continues to operate like this, Mi Lai will not be able to come to the stage.
"Don't worry, I won't really ask them to invite you. At most, I'll scare her, and I'll make sure to pay the bill in advance before leaving."
Wang Jinggang called and complained, saying that he only cared about it for his own sake, but the person involved didn't know what to do and made him very angry.
For Wang Jin's sake, he also wanted to give that ungrateful person a beating.
…………
evening
In the courtyard beside the wall of the Forbidden City, Guan Peng took Charlene to eat Tan's food last time, and this is where he decided to go this time.
"Is there a restaurant here? We won't be in the wrong place."
Mi Lai walked in front, and Lu Tao followed behind and complained.
Of course there is a restaurant here, and Mi Lai and her father ate here; but recalling the checkout scene, Mi Lai began to worry about her bank card.
"Mi Lai, you are here."
After receiving the text message that Mi Lai had arrived, Charlene waited at the door of the box.
"Charlene, let me introduce to you, this is my boyfriend Lu Tao; Lu Tao..."
After introducing Charlene, Mi Lai found that her boyfriend was stupid.
"I'm Lu Tao, nice to meet you"
After Mi Lai shouted twice, Lu Tao finally reacted and reached out his right hand;
Charlene in the original drama could stun him, let alone now.
"Let's go in, Guan Peng has been waiting for a long time."
Xia Lin naturally noticed Lu Tao's gaffe, but looking at Mi Lai's face, she didn't care about it and just brushed it off with a single stroke.
"I'll settle the score with you when I get back."
Charlene discovered it, and so did Mi Lai. After giving her lustful boyfriend a hard squeeze, she walked into the box.
"You guys are here. I've ordered four dishes and I'm cooking them. Take a look, what else is missing?"
After Mi Lai entered the room and sat down, Guan Peng handed her the menu.
6600
8600
9000
12000
Mi Lai didn't look at what Guan Peng ordered, but looked at the price of the food he ordered. Then she felt distressed. Thinking of the 20,000 yuan she spent in the morning, she wanted to go back to her dad at this moment and shout, "Dad."
Love me again.
"There are only four of us. Four dishes are just right. Lu Tao and I won't add any more."
Mi Lai finished speaking through gritted teeth, then happily thrust the menu into the waiter's hand and signaled him to leave quickly.
"Four dishes are not enough. Give me the menu and I will add two more."
After entering the room, Lu Tao's eyes never left Charlene; when he heard Mi Lai say that he would only order four dishes, he wanted to show his pride.
"Oh, don't give it to him; Lu Tao, the dishes here are all large portions, four dishes are enough to eat."
Mi Lai snatched the menu that the waiter was about to give to Lu Tao, and then began to coax his glassy boyfriend; if she really wanted to let him know the price of the food, she might cause another big fuss, and she couldn't afford to embarrass him.
"Just four dishes. Eat less at night and treat it as weight loss."
Charlene also spoke after receiving Mi Lai's look of help.
"Oh, four dishes then"
At this moment, with Lu Tao, Xia Lin's words were much easier to use than Mi Lai's.
"Okay, Mr. Guan, is the wine still the same as before?" the waiter asked Guan Peng after ordering.
"Well, it's the same as before; by the way, you are Lu Tao, can you drink? Why don't you do like me and have a bottle?"
You still need to have basic courtesy. Although the guy opposite kept staring at his girlfriend after entering the room, Guan Peng still greeted him very friendly.
"Okay, guests are welcome. I'll drink whatever you drink, and I'll drink as much as you drink."
From the moment he saw Xia Lin, Guan Peng, Xia Lin's boyfriend, became Lu Tao's enemy. If his enemies said drinking, it would be a challenge. Of course, Lu Tao couldn't give in, especially in front of his goddess.
Wait, you said your girlfriend Mi Lai, who is Mi Lai, do I know her?
This is Lu Zhannan's inner monologue.
"Okay, I'll ask the sommelier to wake up and bring it to you right away?"
After the waiter said this, he left without giving Mi Lai a chance to stop him.
"Guan Peng, thank you very much for your help with Lu Tao today."
The waiter had already left, and Mi Lai didn't expect to call her back to say she didn't want any wine, so she could only force a smile and talk to Guan Peng.
"It's okay, I'm kidding. After all, you still want to invite Charlene and me to dinner?"
After listening to Guan Peng's insistence on inviting him to dinner, Mi Lai realized that this guy was deliberately trying to kill him; should he eat halfway, say he was going to the toilet, and then run away secretly?
No, Lu Tao is still here. I can't explain it to Xia Lin even if I run away. Damn Guan Peng, he bullies people too much. Forget it, let's call daddy and ask him to save me.
Just as Mi Lai was thinking about a way out, the waiter began to serve the food.
Bird's nest in clear soup, braised shark's fin, grilled black ginseng, steamed mandarin fish
After these four dishes were served, Lu Tao didn't look at anything else but the utensils on which the dishes were served. Lu Tao also knew that they were expensive. At this moment, he realized why Mi Lai didn't let him order;
But it's not over yet, because the wine he asked for has arrived.
"Sir, please use your Romanee-Conti with caution?"
The moment the waiter turned around and left, Lu Tao's mind went blank; he was a college student in the imperial capital, not a bumpkin from the countryside. He had heard of Romanée-Conti, but he didn't expect to order one by himself on such an occasion.
Come and drink.
The wine is stored here by Guan Peng. I heard that he likes to drink red wine. A young man who wanted to board his aircraft carrier went to France to buy it for him.
