The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 39 I have a little bit of face here

"Mr. Gu, you may not be aware of this."

"Omakase Sushi is currently the most upscale Japanese restaurant in Kedah province. You basically need to make a reservation a week in advance to dine here. If it's a Friday like today, or a weekend or holiday, you might not be able to get a table even if you make a reservation half a month in advance."

“If you drive here directly like this, even if you bring Ruan Ruan and wait until closing time, there's no way you'll get a table. After all, everyone booked their seats well in advance, and nobody's going to give them up easily.”

Finally, Yan Peng looked at Jiang Ruan, seemingly trying to make amends for Gu Heng, and said, "Ruan Ruan, don't blame Mr. Gu. Maybe he's used to being casual at his own restaurant and thinks that the catering industry is all about 'come and eat'."

All four people present were adults, and who could fail to hear the sarcasm in Yan Peng's words?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruan's expression changed slightly.

She subconsciously looked at Gu Heng, only to see that Gu Heng still had that calm and indifferent expression, which had not changed at all from beginning to end.

"I'm not really sure, you need to make a reservation to eat here."

Gu Heng smiled slightly, seemingly oblivious to the sarcasm in Yan Peng's words.

"It's alright, you're still young."

"It's normal not to understand many things."

Yan Peng's smile widened, then he changed the subject: "But young man, don't blame me for being nosy, but next time you invite a girl to dinner, you should at least put in a little more effort. Otherwise, it'll be so embarrassing to be turned away like this!"

"Besides, I think your hasty invitation is a very disrespectful thing to do to a girl."

Seeing that Yan Peng seemed to be going even further, Jiang Ruan's expression immediately darkened: "Senior Yan, as I just said, President Gu and I just decided to grab a bite on a whim. Since this place is full, let's go somewhere else."

"Furthermore, I have never felt that President Gu has disrespected me in any way. I hope Senior Yan will not make wild guesses about my thoughts."

As she finished speaking, Jiang Ruan's expression became exceptionally serious, and even a hint of annoyance appeared on her usually cool and aloof face.

Huang Yufan, who had been standing quietly to the side, was surprised to see Jiang Ruan make such a gesture in order to protect a man.

The two were high school classmates and are now roommates.

In all the years she'd known her, she'd never seen Jiang Ruan so attentive to a man.

'Just who is this Mr. Gu...?'

Huang Yufan quietly observed Gu Heng, who stood there calmly, and a little curiosity quietly rose in her heart.

Yan Peng, who had just finished lecturing Gu Heng but was rebuffed by Jiang Ruan, was now slightly embarrassed and felt an uncontrollable surge of jealousy towards Gu Heng.

During his postgraduate studies, he pursued Jiang Ruan for two whole years.

After returning to Beichun, he pursued Jiang Ruan for another six months.

In all this time, he only managed to get Jiang Ruan to come out once.

That one time, Jiang Ruan brought Huang Yufan along because Huang Yufan had bought a Mercedes-Benz E300 from Jiang Ruan, and Jiang Ruan came over to thank her.

In terms of academic qualifications, I graduated from prestigious universities with bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees, so my future employment prospects are broad.

In terms of conditions, my family is well-off. After I graduated with my master's degree, my family bought me a Mercedes-Benz E300 outright and also financed a large apartment of nearly 170 square meters near the school.

And what about the man in front of me?
A small restaurant owner!

So what if he's a little taller, a little more handsome, has a little more hair, and a little better temperament than me? How come he can just casually ask Jiang Ruan out?
Jealousy almost caused Yan Peng to lose Li Zhi!
Compared to Yan Peng, who was consumed by jealousy, Gu Heng looked at Jiang Ruan with great interest.

Now he probably understands that the man in front of him named Yan Peng must have been Jiang Ruan's suitor. After all, Yan Peng's jealousy could be smelled even from several kilometers away, let alone when he was so close.

As for Yan Peng's female companion, Huang Yufan, who is Jiang Ruan's roommate, the reason why she and Yan Peng got together is quite interesting if we delve deeper into it. Considering the awkward expression on each other's faces when they first met, it's clear that their date tonight was kept secret from Jiang Ruan.

'Tsk tsk...'

'interesting. '

Gu Heng didn't take Yan Peng's words to heart at all, after all, this guy had come to give him money.

Even if it were just for the money, he wouldn't argue with the other party.

It's like if a dog in the yard of a pet store suddenly barks twice at its owner, are you going to kick it out?
"Ruan Ruan, I misspoke just now, please don't be angry."

Seeing Jiang Ruan's displeased expression, Yan Peng immediately explained, "I just feel it's a bit unfair for you."

Upon hearing this, Gu Heng's expression suddenly became somewhat strange.

The last sentence...

Why does that sound familiar?
For some reason, I feel a strong aroma of tea!
"Senior Yan, you and Yu Fan can continue waiting here."

Jiang Ruan's expression softened slightly, but she was still somewhat unhappy.

She thought about how she had waited five long days for Gu Heng, and how she had finally received his invitation.

What was supposed to be a happy occasion was ruined by Yan Peng.

After Jiang Ruan finished speaking, she turned to look at Gu Heng, her voice instantly becoming much gentler: "Mr. Gu, it seems there are a lot of people here today. Why don't we go and eat something else?"

"It's all here."

"Let's eat here."

Gu Heng smiled and said, "I should have a little bit of influence here."

When Yan Peng heard what Gu Heng said, he practically rolled his eyes to the sky.

'Does it give you face?'

"Even if it's my doctoral supervisor, they have to make an appointment and wait in line."

Who do you think you are?

'What a fucking show-off!'

Yan Peng was internally ranting, but because of Jiang Ruan, he didn't dare say anything more. He just wanted to see how this man, who was putting on a brave face, would manage to back up his bragging later.

"Oh……"

"That's fine."

When Jiang Ruan heard Gu Heng say this, she hesitated slightly before agreeing.

Although she knew that Gu Heng had an extraordinary background and was very wealthy, she didn't have a clear idea of ​​just how extraordinary his background and how wealthy he was.

Ultimately, all her impressions of Gu Heng were formed that day at the Mercedes-Benz 4S store. In reality, Gu Heng was still largely shrouded in mystery for her.

Just as the scene inexplicably fell silent, a series of rapid footsteps suddenly came from afar...
