The private room she had booked was full at the moment, and the worst thing was that Xu Jialu was sitting in the main seat.
The moment the door was pushed open, Xu Jialu raised his head and saw su lanxu. However, his gaze was immediately attracted by her hand that was tightly holding onto the man’s.
A trace of disdain flashed through his eyes.
Was this the boyfriend she had found? It didn’t look like much.
The atmosphere froze for a moment. The inexplicable low pressure made everyone silent.
Fang Yi lowered his head and asked his girlfriend, ” did you go to the wrong room? ”
Su lanxu came back to her senses. She wanted to say that she was at the right place, but she had no idea why Xu Jialu was sitting there.
The manager came just in time and quickly apologized, ” &Quot; I’m sorry, miss su. We’re disappointed with our work. We saw that the room was empty, so we arranged it for Mr. Xu first. We didn’t know that the room had already been reserved by you. &Quot;
“There will be a private room in half an hour. Miss su, can you wait for a while?”
Su lanxu didn’t want to blame him for her mistake, nor did she want to fight for a room with Xu Jialu, so she nodded lightly.
“I don’t have to sit in a private room, I can change to the main hall.” Fang Yi said in concern.
The manager looked troubled. &Quot; I’m sorry, our lobby is full. If you want to sit in the lobby, you might have to wait longer. &Quot;
Fang Yi was silent. He didn’t expect the business of this shop to be so good, but he didn’t want to wait here.
“Why don’t we go to another shop?”
“Sure, what do you want to eat?”
Before su lanxu could finish her sentence, Xu Jialu, who had been silent the whole time, said coldly, ” why go through so much trouble? It’s not like we don’t know each other. Let’s just sit down and eat together, don’t you think so, su Lan Xu?”
Su Lan Xu’s name was deliberately drawn out, full of meaning.
Fang Yi looked surprised. &Quot; lan lan, do you know each other? ”
Before su lanxu could answer, Xu Jialu spoke first, ” she’s my sister’s best friend. &Quot;
Fang Yi had heard su lanxu mention that Xu Youyou was married to mo shenbai, the chairman of the mo Corporation. He was a proud son of the heavens and a financial giant!
Even though he had been abroad for the past few years, he had heard this name many times in the Chinese circle.
“So that’s how it is, then we’ll be in trouble.” Fang Yi agreed without much thought. &Quot; I’ll treat you tonight as a way of thanking you for taking care of my lan lan in the past! &Quot;
Su lanxu raised her head abruptly with a trace of surprise in her eyes. She didn’t expect him to agree so quickly. She didn’t even have the chance to reject him.
Xu Jialu sat there without moving, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. &Quot; no need. Tonight’s meal is on me. You can save this for my sister next time. &Quot;
With that, he motioned for the people around him to give up their seats.
The subordinate was very observant and made way for two seats closer to him.
Fang Yi pulled su lanxu into the private room and sat down beside Xu Jialu. &Quot; alright, I’ll ask lan lan to invite you next time. Mr. Xu, you must come. &Quot;
Xu Jialu glanced at su lanxu, who was silent, and curled his lips. &Quot; “Then I’ll be waiting for your notice.”
He was talking to su lanxu, but she kept her head down and did not look at Xu Jialu.
Fang Yi nudged su Lan Xu’s arm lightly. &Quot; lan lan … &Quot;
Su lanxu came back to her senses and looked into Xu Jialu’s meaningful Phoenix eyes. She squeezed out a smile and said, ” okay. &Quot;
He ate the barbecue slowly, and he spent his free time chatting and drinking.
Xu Jialu called for a few bottles of white wine and poured Fang Yi a glass.
Su lanxu pulled his sleeve and whispered, ” “You just got off the plane and haven’t recovered from the jet lag. Don’t drink.”
Fang Yi held her little hand tightly and simply said, ” it’s okay. &Quot; then he let go of the glass and toasted Xu Jialu.
Everyone present was a man, and su lanxu was the only girl. She couldn’t embarrass Fang Yi in front of everyone, so she could only watch him drink one glass after another, feeling worried and anxious.
He found out that Xu Jialu had been promoted from the technical department to the Vice President, so he was treating today.
When Fang Yi learned about this, he took the initiative to toast Xu Jialu again, praising him for being young and promising, and for being a role model for them.
Su lanxu was eating with her head lowered, and when she heard Fang Yi’s compliments for Xu Jialu, she felt a little uncomfortable.
She had a feeling that Fang Yi was trying to curry favor with Xu Jialu, but he was not like this when he was abroad.
Fang Yi had probably drunk a little too much, so he got up and went to the bathroom. Not long after, Xu Jialu also got up and went to the bathroom.
The people present were all employees of the mo Corporation, Xu Jialu’s loyal subordinates. They knew that su lanxu was the eldest sister’s best friend, so they did not make things difficult for her. Instead, they took the initiative to take care of her.
He gave her the roasted meat first, and filled her cup immediately when it was empty.
Su lanxu thanked him politely.
After a while, Xu Jialu came back first with a cold expression on his face. When he sat down, he glanced at su lanxu with his Phoenix eyes.
Su Lan Xu felt a chill down her spine and quickly lowered her eyes. I didn’t provoke you tonight, did I?
Fang Yi returned with a smile. He even asked su Lan Xu considerately before he sat down, ” what do you want to eat? I’ll roast it for you. &Quot;
Su lanxu’s heart warmed. Her eyes met his slightly tipsy ones and she shook her head. &Quot; I’m almost done eating. Don’t just drink, eat more. &Quot;
“I’ve eaten,” Fang Yi replied.
Xu Jialu picked up his glass and took a sip. When he put down the glass, he said with a smile, ” &Quot; I didn’t expect that crazy su from back then to find such a gentle and considerate boyfriend. They’re so loving too. I’m really the envy of others! &Quot;
Su lanxu’s brows twitched as she felt that he was trying to imply something.
Fang Yi was surprised. &Quot; really? I’ve always thought that my lan lan was a lady.”
The gentle voice had a hint of teasing, and he was obviously joking.
Su lanxu maintained a polite smile and didn’t say anything.
Xu Jialu said again,’lady? Don’t joke with me, she can’t even drink a thousand glasses of alcohol and she has nothing to do with being a lady! By the way, why didn’t you have a drink or two tonight?”
Fang Yi frowned. He didn’t know that su Lan Xu could drink.
Su lanxu was sure that he did it on purpose, but she didn’t want to make a scene in front of so many people, especially in front of Fang Yi.
He took a deep breath and said in a calm tone, ” “I’ve already quit drinking.”
“Oh? Then who was the one who drank three cups of wine in blue confusion last time? In the end, he was so drunk that he fell asleep on the road.”
Fang Yi looked at su Lan Xu again. His eyes were filled with surprise and dissatisfaction.
Su lanxu clenched her fists by her side, trying her best to suppress the urge to punch him. &Quot; last time was an exception. I really did quit drinking. I didn’t even drink at the wedding. Didn’t you see that?”
Xu Jialu naturally saw it. &Quot; is that so? Why did you quit drinking for no reason? don’t tell me it’s for your boyfriend?”
Fang Yi’s furrowed brows slowly relaxed. &Quot; it’s not good for girls to drink. Fortunately, my Lanlan is good and willing to quit drinking for me! &Quot;
Su lanxu met his gaze and pursed her lips slightly. Then, she slowly lowered her eyes.
She quit drinking not for Fang Yi, but because …
Xu Jialu didn’t continue the topic but changed the topic. &Quot; since she doesn’t want to drink, you have to drink a few more glasses with me on her behalf tonight. &Quot;
Fang Yi raised his glass and said, ” okay, I’ll drink with you to your heart’s content on behalf of Lanlan. &Quot;
Su lanxu raised her eyes and looked at Xu Jialu in confusion. What do you want to do?
