Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian Novel - Chapter 1783
Chapter 1783: Xu Baohan Has Dinner in the Neighboring Private Chamber
“So this is a blind date in disguise?” Xu Baohan frowned.
“I was just giving you a hint,” Xing Yuan laughed, “Most people are already married. Some even have children in kindergarten. As for the single women of our age, they might have divorced. Really, it’s not easy to see each other. Who knows if we’ll be here for the 80th anniversary?”
Xu Baohan fell silent.
Xing Yuan thought that he had agreed and immediately sent a WeChat message to inform his old schoolmates in the group.
After the anniversary celebration, the school leaders invited them to have a meal.
An Lan was not invited. After all, she was a young lawyer and was not qualified.
“That guy must be the legend Song Ruixue of the University of Law and order. He’s 60 years old this year and hasn’t lost a case in 20 years,” the class monitor, Cao Meng, said as she looked at the old man beside the principal, “I wonder when we’ll be able to become lawyers of his level. It’s said that last year, a wealthy family offered him 300 million yuan, but he declined.”
“I hope that day will come,” An Lan said with a sigh. “But Song Ruixue has a lecture this afternoon, we can go and listen to it.”
“Let’s go and grab a bite at the canteen. It’s been a long time since the last time I had a meal in the school,” Cao Meng said with a smile. “It is on me.”
“Okay, the supper is on me,” Xiong Hai, another successful alumnus of the same year, said with a smile, “Is there any good and high-class restaurants nearby?”
Li Shuang thought for a moment and said, “The Ze Yuan Restaurant that’s not bad. My hubby and I have gone there a few times. The private chambers are quite comfortable, but we have to book it. Its business is very good.”
Xiong Hai immediately asked Li Shuang for a phone number to book a private chamber.
In the afternoon, they ate in the canteen until 2:30 pm. Then, they attended Song Ruixue’s lecture. At around 5 pm, they drove to Ze Yuan Restaurant.
Just as Li Shuang said, this restaurant was indeed not bad. The private chamber was spacious for more than ten people sitting in it.
They chatted and drank happily.
Li Shuang lowered her head and said to An Lan, “I have to go home to take care of my baby, so I won’t to to KTV with you guys.”
An Lan glared at her and said in a low voice, “How can you desert me at the last minute? You said you’d go with us and sing the song Borrow 500 Years From the Heavens.”
“I can’t help it. Just now, my mother-in-law called me and said that my baby has been crying and looking for me. Having a baby is such a sweet burden.” Li Shuang sighed. “You should work harder tonight. There are many single and handsome men tonight.”
“Enough, are those men as good-looking as I?”
“…”
At this moment, Lin Hua came back from the washing room and said, “F*ck, guys, Xing Yuan and Xu Baohan and some other big shots are having dinner in the private chamber next door. Should we go and have a drink with them?”
Chen Ke recalled Xu Baohan’s face and frowned. “Why should we go? We are not doing badly. Why should we go and have a drink with them?”
“But they saw me just now,” Lin Hua said awkwardly. “It doesn’t look good if we don’t go. I think they’ll come over later to have a drink with us. Senior Zheng said he’d come and see us.”
“Then let’s go.” Cao Meng stood up with a glass of wine in her hand.
..
In Hibiscus Hall, Ze Yuan’s largest private chamber, Xu Baohan’s face was cold as he watched people at the dining table toasting and kissing up to each other.
He was a little fed up with such occasions.
