Chatting and laughing along the way, in no time, they found themselves at the restaurant that Chi Hailang had selected.
Li Beinian looked at the building facade and found that it looked somewhat familiar.
Wasn’t this…
The restaurant that Mu Xichen picked the first time they had a meal together?
At the time, Li Beinian didn’t have much money and was living with Li Haoran and Li Xueqing. Every day, she had to sneak out to work on the filming set.
Hence, the only impression Li Beinian had of this restaurant was its exceptionally pricey menu.
But walking in now, their state of mind and status were completely different.
Inexplicably, Li Beinian felt herself to be in a wonderful mood.
She threw a sidelong glance at Mu Xichen and realized he was looking at her.
It was a sweet moment. She quickly turned around and caught up with Tang Xiaoge.
The five of them made their way to the private room, after which Chi Dali and Tang Xiaoge looked through the menu.
Only, because they had always been a thrifty couple, they were hesitant in placing an order after seeing the price.
Chi Hailang, on the contrary, made a few snappy decisions, ordering the most expensive items on the list.
His behavior earned him a glare from Chi Dali.
However, the latter did not speak.
After Chi Hailang had placed the order, Chi Dali requested for some drinks. Mu Xichen then ordered a bottle of Maotai.
When the food arrived, Chi Dali started to tell stories.
Initially, he talked about incidents from Li Beinian’s childhood, praising her sometimes and criticizing her at others. Nevertheless, the stories entertained everyone and made them laugh non-stop.
Throughout this, Chi Dali downed one glass after another of the Chinese liquor.
Eventually, he didn’t even bother to think of a topic and said directly, “You had better be very, very sure that you treat my daughter well. Otherwise, I’ll kill you right here, right now!”
At the time that he said this, Chi Dali’s tone was already drifting.
Mu Xichen, however, looked as sober as ever.
His heart softened on hearing this, and he gave his word again. Chi Dali finally let the man off and gave himself a break.
Mu Xichen could hold his drink.
On the contrary, Chi Dali got a little drunk and had to keep going to the restroom.
The restrooms near the private rooms were all occupied. Chi Hailang couldn’t wait, so he headed instead to the restrooms along the common corridor.
As he was coming out, he heard someone talking on the phone.
At first, he did not pay too much attention. After he had washed his hands and was about to leave, he overheard something. “Although that Lin Kerou looks gentle and weak, she’s quite astute. I only hinted at her and she turned around to chide me. As a wife, a woman like that would be hard to control. On the other hand, that Lin Yuxin is more obedient. I think she’s quite suitable.”
Chi Hailang halted.
“Well, what can we do? She’s just a common girl. But since we have to choose one, of course, we have to choose the mayor’s sister. This would ensure a smooth journey for the future.”
It was a man talking.
Chi Hailang looked in his direction. The man was in his mid-twenties, much older than Lin Yuxin.
He was neatly dressed in a suit and leather shoes, but leaning and slouching against the wall of the corridor around the corner, looking sloppy and defiant.
He laughed as he said, “Lin Yuxin is not too bad, she’s obedient. So, even if I fool around outside after getting married, she’s the sort who wouldn’t say anything. It saves me the trouble.”
Chi Hailang was boiling inside by now. He took out his cell phone and sent his location to Lin Yuxin, asking, [Where are you now?]
Her reply came very quickly: [Are you here looking for me?]
Yuxin: [I’m having dinner with the elders. Where are you? I’ll come over to you.]
He gave her his location. Then, he held up his cell phone and took a picture of the man talking on the phone. Very quickly, he sent the picture to Lin Yuxin with the question: [Your blind date?]
