Last time, Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu agreed to have dinner together, but they canceled the date because Tan Rou had something to do at the last minute. Tan Rou finally had time today, so Zhuang Liu came to look for her for dinner as soon as he got off work.
Tan Rou had arranged a place for todayâs meal. It was at Tianyi Restaurant opposite the school. Tan Rou had eaten here a few times. The taste was delicious, and the price was reasonable, so Tan Rou decided to bring Zhuang Liu here.
They always went to eat big meals and occasionally tried the stir-fried dishes made by small restaurants. Perhaps they would have a different experience.
Zhuang Liu arrived early. There were no private rooms in Tianyi Restaurant, so he could only choose a more secluded corner to wait for Tan Rou. Even so, he was still found.
Meng Xiao sat down on the chair opposite Zhuang Liu and said with a smile, âZhuang Liu, what a coincidence. I didnât expect to meet you here at mealtime. It must be fate that we met. Why donât we have a meal together?â
âGet lost, I donât want to see you,â Zhuang Liu said without looking up.
Meng Xiaoâs smile froze. She really wanted to leave, but she couldnât. Old Master Meng was watching her from not far away. If she didnât talk to Zhuang Liu for 15 minutes, Old Master Meng would ensure that Nick disappeared from the entertainment industry tomorrow. Meng Xiao loved Nickâs too much. She had to protect Nickâs dream.
Meng Xiao continued to maintain his smile. âZhuang Liu, why are you doing this? I want to treat you to a meal. 1 didnât ask you to go through a mountain of knives or a sea of fire. Why are you so angry?â
âI have nothing to say to you.â Zhuang Liu said coldly.
Xiao Mo could see Zhuang Liuâs impatience, so he spoke up. âSecond Miss Meng, our Third Young Master has something important to do today. Please leave now. If you donât, Iâll have to call the police.â
âIs there a need to call the police for such a small matter?â Meng Xiao asked.
âThen why donât you just leave quickly? If 1 were you, I wouldnât even sit here,â Xiao Mo said.
Meng Xiao was furious. She grabbed her bag and said, âFine, Iâll leave now!â
She had just taken a few steps when Tan Rou came over. When she saw Meng Xiao, Tan Rou was a little puzzled. Why was Meng Xiao here?
âThe important thing you said is to have dinner with her?â Meng Xiao asked in disbelief.
âThatâs right.â Xiao Mo replied.
âOtherwise, do you think Third Young Master has something important to do?â
Tan Rou smiled. âWhatâs so important about eating?â
âItâs very important to eat with you,â Zhuang Liu answered seriously.
Tan Rou pulled out a chair and was about to sit when Zhuang Liu stopped her. âWait a minute, this chair is too dirty. Letâs get a new one.â
Tan Rou looked at the shiny wooden chair and asked curiously. âWhy is this chair dirty?â
âMiss Tan Rou,â Xiao Mo explained, âsome unwelcome guests have just used this chair. You should change to another chair.â
Tan Rou immediately understood what Xiao Mo meant. She glanced at Meng Xiao, who was still standing there. âThen letâs get a new one.â
When Meng Xiao heard Xiao Mo say that the chair she had sat on was dirty, she was furious. âWhat right do you have to say that my chair is dirty?â
âIâm not saying youâre dirty. Iâm just saying that the perhaps the Meng family isnât clean?â Xiao Mo mocked.
Meng Xiaoâs lungs were about to explode from anger. âHow dare you speak ill of our family? Youâre dead!â
âIs that so?â Zhuang Liu smiled. âXiao Mo is my assistant, so heâs from the Zhuang family. How do you plan to kill him?â
Meng Xiaoâs expression changed. She dared to deal with Xiao Mo, but she would never dare to deal with Zhuang Liu.
âZhuang Liu, itâs not that we want him to die, but the words he said just now were too unpleasant. What did he mean by my family being dirty?!â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThe reason is simple.â Zhuang Liu shifted his gaze to the menu again. âYouâll know when you return and ask your grandfather about your elder sister Meng Si.â
After so many days, Meng Xiao still didnât know what Meng Si had done wrong. Moreover, she had only seen Meng Si once before her grandfather locked her up.
She really wanted to ask about Meng Si, but the moment she opened her mouth, she was stopped by Old Master Meng. âDonât ask anymore! Come back!â
Meng Xiao could only shut his mouth and leave with a belly full of anger..
