I just started college and my advisor turned out to be my blind date?
Chapter 38 Conflict
Despite the excellent quality of every dish, Lu Ming felt very uneasy while eating.
It wasn't just Su Manqing's second request, but also the eerie atmosphere at the dinner table.
Mu Wanqiu and Ye Yiyi didn't get along to begin with, and when they ate at the same table, they could barely restrain themselves by maintaining absolute silence.
But Mu Wanqiu was always concerned about the young lady and kept wanting to ask Ye Yiyi, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.
If you ask Lu Ming, you definitely won't get the right information.
Unable to bear it any longer, Ye Yiyi stepped on Lu Ming's instep and whispered in his ear:
"Feeling good now? Here's your reward."
"Tell me, why does Mu Wanqiu keep glancing at me every now and then?"
"Did your beautiful and elegant aunt's makeup get ruined today?"
Ye Yiyi blinked her peach blossom eyes,
Although she was only flirting with Lu Ming, she unintentionally attracted the attention of a man at the next table.
She asked the question knowing the answer already, clearly not wanting Mu Wanqiu to be comfortable.
Who told Mu Wanqiu to say she was too old and to spend all her time hanging out with Lu Ming?
Ye Yiyi has held onto this grudge since high school, for a full seven years.
"What else could it be?"
"You don't need to say anything, just leave it to me."
Lu Ming rolled his eyes and unceremoniously pushed Ye Yiyi's head away.
Just now, when Ye Yiyi leaned close to him, the sweet fragrance wafting towards him caused Lu Xiaoming, who was experiencing forbidden fruit for the first time, to react.
"I'm a lady, don't you know how to treat a woman with respect?"
Ye Yiyi scolded playfully, and then pinched Lu Ming's waist.
She had pinched Lu Ming's arms and thighs before, but he dodged them. After that, she only pinched Lu Ming's waist.
"Haha, I was watching you siblings bickering over there and found it quite amusing. So I took the liberty of coming over to invite you for a drink."
A middle-aged man chuckled.
His voice was magnetic, and he was impeccably dressed.
The watch on his wrist alone is more expensive than all of Lu Ming's assets.
These successful people seduce young, beautiful girls who are surrounded by the aura of wealth, wherever they go.
As the middle-aged man spoke, a waiter followed him over and placed several glasses of red wine on the table.
"90, the year of the Condi, is widely recognized as a legendary year."
"The wine is rich and mellow, with abundant tannins that are as smooth as velvet."
"Would I have the honor of buying the three of you a drink?"
The middle-aged man prided himself on his elegance.
He didn't mention the price, but looking at the three men's not-so-luxurious clothes, he assumed they were three young people from ordinary backgrounds who had saved up money to splurge.
He'd seen plenty of people like that.
It's also very easy to use.
Simply put, it means holding at low cost.
He paused abruptly when he walked up to Lu Ming's table and caught a glimpse of Mu Wanqiu's profile.
A near-perfect profile, an aloof and ethereal air...
Who wouldn't want to possess a girl like that, then peel away her aloof exterior and watch her die for him?
The middle-aged man felt a surge of heat in his lower abdomen, and his eyes revealed a hint of desire.
"We've finished eating, you can keep the wine for yourself."
Lu Ming was displeased and gently touched Mu Wanqiu with the back of his hand.
Mu Wanqiu had a small appetite; she was already full by the time the fourth dish was served.
The reason she didn't stop using her knife and fork was to accommodate Lu Ming and wait for him to finish eating.
Sensing harassment, Mu Wanqiu frowned slightly, put down her knife and fork, and prepared to get up.
"I see you didn't order the three classic dishes of Jiexianglou. I suppose this is your first time here, or perhaps you're short on cash?"
"A bottle of 90 Romanée-Conti, the price of which could afford you several meals at Jiexianglou."
The middle-aged man glanced at the two girls with surprise.
No one glanced at his deliberately twitching luxury watch, and they all muttered under their breath that he didn't know its value. So he had no choice but to reveal the price.
"I'm tired of the dishes you mentioned."
"Mainly because Lu Ming has a strong palate, he doesn't have the luck to enjoy it."
Ye Yiyi couldn't help but retort.
She glanced at the middle-aged man from head to toe, as if she were sizing up a gorilla courting a female.
The undisguised contempt made the middle-aged man's face turn cold.
He abandoned his female tablemate and made a special trip over.
As a result, my enthusiasm was met with indifference!
They even said they were tired of eating it.
Even a high-earning executive like him wouldn't dare to make such a boast!
"That's interesting."
"At such a young age, it's inevitable that one will be arrogant and ignorant of one's own limitations."
The middle-aged man sneered, about to reprimand the group, when he caught a glimpse of the duty manager approaching, a smug look on his face.
"See? I'm a regular at Jiexianglou."
"As soon as someone offends me, even the duty manager rushes over."
Seeing this, Lu Ming pulled Mu Wanqiu to sit down instead.
He casually crossed his legs, ready to watch the show.
The reason is simple: Ye Yiyi had previously mentioned that the Su family was a major shareholder of Jiexianglou, and Su Manqing often came here to freeload, which always ended up on her tab.
Seeing that Miss Su's little follower seemed to be in trouble, the duty manager would rush over even if he only cared about his own job.
"So, according to you, the duty manager will definitely help you?"
Ye Yiyi became even more fearless.
Her eyes darted around, and her peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, resembling the meme of "bad stomach forming".
"It's not about helping me, it's about upholding justice."
"I kindly invited you to drink, but I was laughed at instead. It's not a big deal, but it's not a small matter either!"
The middle-aged man didn't give any ammunition, but the implication in his words was clear: he had a powerful background, and the others should just wait and see.
Lu Ming remained silent.
He was afraid that he would burst out laughing as soon as he opened his mouth.
Ye Yiyi barely managed to suppress her laughter by grinding her small feet hard against Lu Ming's shoes.
The middle-aged man assumed the three were afraid and smiled even more smugly.
"Now you know fear?"
"Alright then, I won't make things difficult for you."
"I want that girl to drink those three glasses of wine, and then we'll call it a day."
The middle-aged man stared intently at Mu Wanqiu's profile, his heart itching with desire.
Just thinking about that aloof and ethereal girl, blushing and tipsy later...
The only boy among the three was a quiet, unassuming man, and the middle-aged man felt that today was truly his lucky day!
"Is drinking the end of it?"
Lu Ming suddenly asked a question.
"Having drunk the wine only temporarily calmed my anger."
The middle-aged man replied casually.
He had something he was hiding from others, and his eyes conveyed a message that any man could understand.
"Fine. You drink all the wine, and I'll calm down for now and spare your life!"
Lu Ming smiled.
Ye Yiyi is usually quirky and clever, but when faced with humiliation, she often reacts excessively.
Now, relying on Su Manqing's influence, we can retaliate against them.
If they really angered the other party to the point of holding a grudge, even though Hangzhou is a big city, it wouldn't be worth it.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
The middle-aged man was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.
If Lu Ming hadn't looked perfectly normal, he would have thought Lu Ming was drunk.
Lu Ming raised an eyebrow and said:
"You'll know whether it's a mule or a horse once you take it out for a spin."
"The duty manager is coming right away, so keep an eye on things."
