Fang Xiuli has always been a willful rich girl. Whatever she wants to do, she must do it.

If Tan Siqi were here, he might be able to persuade him, but no one else could.

Her behavior was a bit childish. She thought that since Chu Yue had a good relationship with her, she must be the first one to treat them to a meal.

It’s exactly the same as Tan Rourou’s desire for a “best friend”.

Chu Yue thought Fang Xiuli was joking. After all, who would take a meal seriously? Unexpectedly, Fang Xiuli actually did it. She flipped through the phone book and called the office of Lu Zhanlin's comrade Li Changmin.

They were all from the capital area, and Fang Xiuli's story of marrying a powerless soldier was quite famous in the capital.

They knew each other, but they were not familiar with each other.

Miss Fang confidently asked Li Changmin to make an appointment with Lu Zhanlin on another day on the phone. Tonight, she would take Chu Yue and Lu Zhanlin to welcome him.

Under normal circumstances, Li Changmin would have agreed and not bothered with Fang Xiuli.

But Li Changmin and Lu Zhanlin hadn't seen each other for a long time, and when they finally met, he still refused to agree.

"Miss Fang, Lu Zhanlin and I made the appointment first. It's first come, first served. If you come later, please go to the back of the queue. You can invite them tomorrow. I have no objection."

"No. Chu Yue and Lu Zhanlin are at my house right now. I'm just letting you know so you don't have to make a wasted trip. I'll take them out for dinner."

These two well-known figures in the capital's circle actually started arguing with each other, and neither of them was willing to give in.

Lu Yuanbao looked up and asked Chu Yue, "Mom, what is Aunt Fang arguing about?"

Not to mention that Lu Yuanbao didn't understand, Chu Yue didn't understand either. What's there to argue about such things?

Tan Rourou said cleverly, "Because Mommy wants to be Aunt Chu's best friend in the world."

Chu Yue and Lu Yuanbao: So childish...

Chu Yue felt childish, but at the same time a little happy.

She walked out and said to Fang Xiuli, "Xiuli, stop arguing. Let's all go eat together, including Minister Li."

It's just a meal, not a one-on-one date. There are plenty of spots available, and it will be more lively with more people.

Fang Xiuli and Li Changmin on the other end of the phone both heard what Chu Yue said, and there was an awkward silence between them... Why didn't they think of eating together?

Finally, the dinner was set.

It was arranged in Quanjude, the most famous century-old restaurant in the capital area.

During the dinner, Lu Zhanlin and Li Changmin sat aside and drank a little wine. That little bit of alcohol was not enough to get anyone drunk, but Li Changmin, under the influence of alcohol, had endless things to say to Lu Zhanlin.

"Old Lu... you don't know, the people in the metropolitan area are all old-timers, all of them are honest and naive. It's completely different from when we were in the company..."

"I... I still like being with you... When I was with Xu Feng... At that time, I was just a private, so happy..."

"Old Lu, how come you got married just like that? Your son is already that grown up, and your sister-in-law is still so capable. You're so lucky..."

Fang Xiuli had just had an argument with Li Changmin and was still angry. She pointed at Li Changmin and complained, "What a drunkard."

Chu Yue just smiled and didn't respond to Fang Xiuli's words. She lowered her head and was busy eating roast duck!

Quanjude Roast Duck is famous because of the different duck breeds and the different firewood used to roast the duck. The roast duck is shiny and full of oil, with the unique fruity aroma of wood.

In the 1970s, it was still the most authentic traditional method, unlike later times when it was all about technology and hard work.

Chu Yue's taste buds were greatly satisfied. The thin pancake crust wrapped with crispy roast duck skin, cucumber shreds and green onion shreds were put into her mouth one after another.

Seeing that Chu Yue was enjoying her meal, Fang Xiuli was also happy as the host.

She smiled and said, "Is it really that delicious? I think your spicy hot pot is still better."

Chu Yue said, "They are different. They are both delicious, but different ones are delicious."

Tan Rourou was teaching Lu Yuanbao how to wrap roast duck rolls. "Just like this... just like this... you can eat it after wrapping it up. Yuanbao, do you know how to do it?"

"I learned."

Lu Yuanbao wrapped one in a very professional manner. After putting it in his mouth, the fragrant, crispy and tender taste filled his mouth. It was a delicacy he had never tasted before.

So delicious!

Tan Rourou said proudly with her little face, "How is it? Delicious, right? This roast duck can only be eaten in the capital, it's the best."

Lu Yuanbao nodded as he wrapped the second one. "You can only eat it in the capital? I want to bring some back for Dazhuang. I wonder if it will go bad on the way."

Tan Rourou pouted and complained, "Why are you always thinking about Chen Dazhuang? Just eat yours."

The aroma of roast duck filled the private room. There were also several other dishes, all of which were delicious, but they still pale in comparison to the roast duck.

Everyone's fingers were greasy and shiny after eating, and they were very happy.

When it came time to pay the bill, Chu Yue was really afraid that Fang Xiuli and Li Changmin would start arguing again. Fortunately, the two reached a silent understanding and ended up paying half of the bill each.

When we walked outside the restaurant, it was already dark. The night breeze brought some coolness, blowing away the summer heat.

Fang Xiuli said, "I know you don't have much time left in the capital, so I won't bother you anymore. Have fun. If you have any questions, call my house. When summer vacation is over, I'll take Rourou back and we'll see you at the compound."

"Okay, see you later."

Chu Yue hugged Fang Xiuli and they said goodbye to each other.

Li Changmin, who had drunk a little, was more difficult to deal with. After being among a bunch of scheming old foxes for a long time, it was rare for him to meet someone like Lu Zhanlin who could speak his mind, and he kept chattering.

In the end, Lu Zhanlin was a little annoyed with him, so he stuffed the drunk man into the car that came to pick him up, and gave the driver a few words of advice, asking him to be careful on the road and to make sure to send him home. Only then was the matter over.

Chu Yue was watching from the side. It was rare to see Lu Zhanlin like this, and she couldn't help laughing.

When Lu Zhanlin turned around, he saw Chu Yue's smiling face in the night. The evening breeze gently blew her long hair. Under the light behind her, everything was so quiet and beautiful.

Lu Yuanbao walked over and took Lu Zhanlin's hand, then took Chu Yue's hand, and the family slowly walked back to the guesthouse.
