Rebirth: At the beginning, the cool school beauty was caught stealing in the supermarket

Chapter 506 Hello, we've met before

The Lu family's brat?
Zhang Yibin narrowed his long, narrow eyes slightly, turned around in his seat to look in the direction Lu Yuanqiu had just come from—it was a private room.

They had met once at Grandma Lu's birthday banquet. Although she had a buzz cut then, she had changed quite a bit since then, but Zhang Yibin's ability to judge people was still quite good.

What's more, this kid left a deep impression on him. That day, Zhang Yibin politely raised his glass to him, but the kid's eyes were full of roguishness and provocation. Despite being the heir to a large company, he looked just like a street thug who didn't know any manners.

It made him feel confused and uncomfortable.

But speaking of that day...

Another girl who left a deep impression on Zhang Yibin was someone who would make him pause in surprise.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance again in the direction Lu Yuanqiu had just come from.

In the private room.

Liang Jingfeng's cheekbones were flushed from drinking red wine. He and Finger each held a wine bottle and rubbed their shoulders back to back in a flamboyant manner. Zhang Yang was also a little drunk and quickly joined in, holding his wine glass. The three of them laughed in a drunken frenzy, each singing their own song.

Cao Shuang put down his knife and fork. He wasn't used to Western food and always felt it didn't taste as good as stir-fried dishes. But if it weren't for Brother Qiu, he probably would never have eaten at such a high-class place in his life.

Looking at Liang Jingfeng and his two friends frolicking in front of him, he couldn't help but think of his good brothers from high school.

What Lu Yuanqiu didn't know was that Cao Shuang was still in contact with them, a fact that Cao Shuang dared not tell Lu Yuanqiu.

Most of these former close friends have stopped going to school.

They either hang out in internet cafes, wander the streets, become apprentices in various shops, or prepare to work in factories.

After inquiring about these people, Cao Shuang sometimes couldn't help but wonder if he hadn't been guided by Qiu Ge and had continued to hang out with this group instead of studying properly, would he eventually have become one of them?
Most likely it will.

Cao Shuang didn't actually look down on his good brothers; in fact, these good brothers were even more sincere than the friends he met in college.

When they met during the holidays, even if none of these guys had a hundred or two hundred yuan in their pockets, they would still insist on treating Cao Shuang to a roadside barbecue stall.

They were very loyal to each other, and Cao Shuang will always remember their decisive act of throwing their chopsticks in the high school cafeteria.

Cao Shuang's proudest moment was seeing his brothers throw down their chopsticks for Qiu Ge. Seeing them throw down their chopsticks for Qiu Ge made him truly feel that he had made the right choice in having these brothers.

But Cao Shuang knew he couldn't follow the same path as them.

He should follow the path that Brother Qiu has shown him.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Zhong Jincheng, who was sitting next to Cao Shuang, asked curiously, noticing that Cao Shuang hadn't touched the steak on his plate.

Cao Shuang frowned and poked the steak with the knife: "There's too much blood."

"Who told you to order it medium-rare?"

"I saw it ordered like this on TV, but it's really rare, only medium-rare. I might as well just eat the cow..."

"Then give it to me, I need to replenish some protein in this emergency." Zhong Jincheng chuckled and handed it over.

"Here you go, here you go." Cao Shuang waved his hand, then looked up and gazed towards the door of the private room.

Su Miaomiao wiped her mouth and said to Zheng Yifeng beside her, "I plan to go home in a few days, otherwise I'm afraid my parents will come looking for me. I haven't seen them for the New Year, and their anger has probably reached its peak."

Zheng Yifeng was taken aback and looked at her: "Is it easy to handle?"

Su Miaomiao shrugged: "At worst, I'll just get a good scolding. Besides, they have a habit of calling all my relatives and asking them to join in the condemnation. The middle-aged people in Zhucheng are the most aggressive."

Zheng Yifeng knew that Su Miaomiao's words were light and casual, but the burden she would face at home was definitely more than he imagined. "You've had a tough time..."

"If you don't work hard, your life will be hard."

Su Miaomiao expressionlessly stuffed a broccoli into her mouth, glancing to the side out of the corner of her eye.

What else could Zheng Yifeng say but give an awkward laugh?

“I’m so unlucky,” Su Miaomiao added.

Bai Qingxia cut Lu Yuanqiu's steak into uniform cubes, arranged them neatly, and then thoughtfully garnished them with cherry tomatoes and rosemary.

Seeing Chi Caocao sitting next to her, holding a knife and fork and staring blankly at her, Bai Qingxia smiled again, raised her own knife and fork, and said gently to the little girl with pigtails, "Shall I cut it for you?"

"Okay!" Chi Caocao had been waiting for this sentence.

Bai Qingxia had just placed Chi Caocao's plate in front of her when she suddenly noticed a shadow covering the smooth tabletop.

Thinking Lu Yuanqiu had returned, she looked up at him triumphantly: "I'll help you with yours..."

Bai Qingxia stopped speaking, staring blankly at the unfamiliar man in front of her, swallowing back the last few words she was about to say.

Zhang Yibin stood beside her, a slight surprise in his eyes. She was indeed beautiful, even more beautiful than before. This girl…

"Hello, we've met before, remember? About a year ago, at the Liu's Hotel."

Zhang Yibin smiled and spoke, then extended his right hand to Bai Qingxia in a gentlemanly manner.

Bai Qingxia stood up. She remembered, but she remembered that the man hadn't looked at her at the time. She remembered that Liu Wangchun had said that the man was related to "White Rhinoceros".

Seeing the other person's outstretched right hand, Bai Qingxia put down her knife and fork, stood awkwardly to the side, lowered her head without looking at the other person, and did not intend to reach out her hand.

Zhang Yibin smiled and stepped forward: "Don't you remember? I..."

He paused, and a person appeared in front of him.

Cao Shuang stood beside Bai Qingxia, scrutinizing the man in the suit in front of her.

"Who are you?" he asked succinctly.

Zhang Yibin smiled amicably: "Don't misunderstand, I met this lady in Lucheng, I just came over to say hello."

Cao Shuang glanced back at Bai Qingxia's expression, then frowned and looked at Zhang Yibin: "You've seen her before? Why didn't you just come in and say hello? Why were you hiding at the door peeking at her? I've been watching you from my seat for a while now."

Zhang Yibin hadn't really noticed this guy.

However, he inexplicably felt that the young man in front of him had the same roguish air as the young man from the Lu family.

The commotion attracted the attention of the others in the private room. Liang Jingfeng, drunk, pointed at them with a bottle of liquor and asked, "Who are you?"

Zheng Yifeng felt that the other person looked somewhat familiar. He slowly stood up and walked over. Zhang Yibin looked at Zheng Yifeng walking behind him and also felt that he looked familiar for some reason.

The boy with short, choppy hair in front of him was still scrutinizing him intently. Seeing that he couldn't get away with it, Zhang Yibin could only politely smile and nod, "Sorry to bother you."

He turned around to leave, but almost bumped into someone walking towards him.

Lu Yuanqiu stared at Zhang Yibin expressionlessly and stopped in front of him.
