Chapter 20 Dinner Together
At this time, Ye Lingwen suddenly walked out of the office on the side of the hall. Seeing me holding the photo in a daze, she took the photo in my hand and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Where did you find this photo?"
Ah? This is my great-grandfather, my father’s grandfather. Doesn’t he look like my father?”
"Yes! Yes! Isn't this too similar? If your father were a little fatter, he would look like a human being!" I blurted out after coming back to my senses.
"It's not as exaggerated as you said. Besides, it's normal for a grandson to look like a grandpa. My great-great-grandfather was a worker and workshop director at the Shanghai Yangtze Glass Factory at the time!" Ye Lingwen said and put the photo back into the wooden box.
"Thank you for your hard work these days. My dad is in good spirits and his appetite has increased significantly. Let me treat you to dinner tonight!" Ye Lingwen said with a bright smile.
"No, it's actually nothing. The main thing is to adjust the injection concentration of the drug. Besides, Han Qingxia takes me to the restaurant for dinner every day, doesn't it count as your invitation?"
"Then why didn't I see you so attentive the first time, and you didn't say what drug concentration to adjust?" Ye Lingwen asked with a pout.
Ye Lingwen's words reminded me of Qingning, and I felt a dull pain in my heart. If I could get the money right away for the first time, maybe Qingning and I would end up differently!
Thinking of this, I let out a long sigh: "You didn't give me so much money the first time. You still delayed giving me 100,000 yuan. Besides, I didn't know it was your father who wanted to use it to save lives! He said it was an investment.
"
Ye Lingwen seemed to notice that I was in a bad mood, and quickly comforted me and said: "Everyone has their own difficulties! You see, although we are not short of money, my dad has that kind of disease! Let's not talk about this, just eat.
Are you going or not? It was my dad who asked me to treat you to dinner! If he gets better, he will definitely treat you in person."
"Oh, don't let it go at night, let's do it at noon tomorrow. I have some things to deal with at school tonight." To be honest, I was still a little scared to be alone with her at night, so I made an excuse to postpone it until noon tomorrow.
Ye Lingwen's beautiful eyes were looking forward to it, and she smiled faintly without saying anything.
The next morning, while I was still sleeping in the hotel, Ye Lingwen came over.
She was so beautifully dressed today, wearing a pink and purple short shawl coat, paired with a bright yellow velvet skirt, a pair of black high boots, and her long black hair with natural undulations on her shoulders, setting off the
It showed off her excellent figure. It made me feel uncomfortable, so I quickly got dressed, washed up, and went out with her.
She drove a red BMW, and the beauty of the car naturally attracted the attention of many passers-by. However, I was a bit of a no-brainer, and the down jacket I was wearing was bought for me by Qingning last year for more than 100 yuan.
"I bought the down jacket in the back seat for you. I don't know if it fits or not. You can go back to the hotel tonight and try it on. If it doesn't fit, you can change it," Ye Lingwen said while driving.
"Thank you! Thank you and Brother Ye"
"Brother Ye? You call me daddy, Brother Ye?"
"Yes, he asked me to scream! What's wrong?"
"Then shouldn't I call you Uncle Shen?"
"Okay, you can call me Uncle Shen, or just uncle."
"You are so beautiful! I'll call you Qingyang and you can call me Lingwen."
"Whatever, this generation is quite chaotic."
"hehe"
We chatted all the way, and she drove me to a restaurant. When I got out of the car, I saw that it was a typical Italian-style restaurant with a comfortable and pleasant decoration style. The environment was quite good, and there were outdoor seats. When I stepped into the restaurant, the lights were blue.
The color is blue, the tableware is blue, the tables and chairs are blue, and it makes people feel like they are on the Aegean Sea.
After we chose a seat by the window and sat down, the waiter immediately brought the menu. Ye Lingwen pointed at the menu and said to me: "You're welcome, just order whatever you want to eat."
I took a look at the menu: "Oysters, three-color salad, wild mushroom and truffle soup, cod, Australian lobster, foie gras, Japanese Omi veal, lemon yogurt sorbet; oriental lamb shoulder..."
What the hell are these things? Don’t tell me I haven’t heard of them. Come on! Let her order it, so as not to make a fool of herself!
“You order it, I don’t know what’s delicious.”
"Okay, what do you want to drink?"
"Wong Lo Kat, I want a big bottle!" I blurted out.
The waiter next to me couldn't help but laugh.
Now I was not satisfied. For a person like me who has an ID card but no identity, the most sensitive thing is what other people think of me. I secretly wondered: Why is this idiot laughing? Is it Wong Lao Kat without a big bottle?
I glared at the waiter: "Why are you laughing? If you don't have Wong Lao Kat, I can switch to Jiaduobao. He Qizheng is fine. Anyway, I want a big bottle. What kind of attitude do you have? Do you believe me if I complain?"
Ling Wen, who was sitting opposite me, almost laughed out loud as soon as I spoke. She said to the waiter: "Bring me a bottle of Romanee-Conti dry red."
I immediately knew what the stupid waiter was laughing at, and my face turned red. But he said, "No, no, no, what's so funny?"
"Can I invite you to eat spicy hotpot next time? Stop talking nonsense." Ling Wen whispered to me.
"Okay, that's my favorite"
The dishes arrived, including oysters, three-color salad, steak, salmon, and wild mushroom and truffle soup.
The steak was half-cooked, with bloodshot eyes; the oysters were so fishy that they slipped right into my mouth, and I was really worried about whether there were parasites; the salmon was not as delicious as the braised silver carp my mother made, and it was only a little bit.
I'm too embarrassed to eat it. Isn't the three-color salad just a few vegetables? I'll go! You can cook it for me to eat! Just let it be raw and cold! What kind of wild mushroom and truffle soup is worse than chicken stewed with mushrooms!
This meal was depressing for me, but it was just enough for me to pretend to be elegant. I only ate a little of each dish, and occasionally sipped at the bottle of red wine called Ni Ni. Damn it, it was sour.
It's so astringent that it's really unpleasant to drink.
I couldn't help but think of the wontons I used to eat at a roadside stall with Qingning. They were so fresh and smooth, and I ate all the wontons she couldn't finish.
Ye Lingwen saw that I only ate a little bit of everything, and wiped my mouth gracefully, and asked, "Why do you only eat a little bit of everything? Isn't it delicious?"
I smiled slightly and replied calmly: "It's not bad! The salmon is good, the truffle soup is also delicious, and the wine is really good, bright in color, rich in taste, and delicate and smooth in the mouth."
"Oh, I don't see that you are still studying red wine," Ling Wen said while pouring me wine.
"Hi! I can't talk about any research, I just like to have a drink occasionally." I picked up the wine glass gracefully and took a sip, pretending to be better and better. If we want to work together in the future, I must not let this rich lady look down upon me.
"I have read books for so many years, and a few beautiful adjectives just come out of my mouth."
"Then if you are really full, I will take you back."
"Okay! Let's open the way then"
Ye Lingwen sent me to the door of the hotel and wanted to send me up. I politely declined. The two of us were alone in the hotel room, which was exactly the same as in my dream. I was still a little scared.
Watching her drive away, I thought: I'm not full yet, I'm still hungry! So I walked along the street to buy some more food.
Finally, I found a Chaos stall on a street corner. It had a small storefront of more than ten square meters and had wontons, dumplings and noodles. I ordered a large portion of wontons, sprinkled with pepper, and added a piece of pancake. I ate and drank at the same time.
It’s so cool! My head is full of sweat on such a cold day!
After finishing the meal, I was about to stand up and pay. When I looked up, I saw Ling Wen sitting across from the small table, looking at me with a smile. I was so confused that I was speechless for a long time. Finally, I said: "It tastes good. I want it."
