Chapter 90: Confession
At the beginning, I heard Lin Cong bragging about himself, to be honest. Mo Qingyan really didn't feel much.
Li Li, the owner of Lizhou Banquet, has nothing to do with him.
No matter how good the relationship between Lin Cong and him is, it doesn’t matter.
However, I didn't expect the plot twist to be so unexpected.
As a result, Li Li asked Lin Cong, "Who are you?"
This is simply a critical hit.
Lin Cong was completely dumbfounded, and Mo Qingyan and the others were also confused.
What is going on?
Didn’t Li Li come here for Lin Cong?
"Uncle Li...you...don't you recognize me? I'm Lin Cong!"
Lin Cong couldn't believe that Li Li didn't recognize him.
"Lin Cong?" The name flashed through Li Li's mind quickly, and he suddenly remembered, "Oh, you are Lin Chongyang's son."
"Yes, it's me."
Seeing that Li Li finally remembered that he was here, Lin Cong suddenly felt like he was saved.
"Uncle Li..."
Lin Cong was about to say something.
As a result, when Li Li's gaze fell on the person behind Lin Cong, his eyes lit up obviously.
Then, Li Li ignored Li Cong and walked directly in front of Mo Qingyan.
That’s right, it was in front of Mo Qingyan.
He also took the initiative to extend his hand and shake hands with Mo Qingyan.
"Hello, Mr. Lin. I am the owner of Lizhou Banquet, Li Li. Welcome to our Lizhou Banquet. Your arrival really makes our Lizhou Banquet shine!"
Mo Qingyan shook hands with Li Li in surprise, "Mr. Li knows me?"
Li Li smiled and complimented: "Mr. Mo, you are joking. Now, who in our H City doesn't know you?"
Hearing this, Mo Qingyan immediately looked at Lin Cong behind Li Li, and then smiled meaningfully, "Mr. Li is joking. I'm just a small internet celebrity. How can the whole H City know me?"
"Mr. Mo is really modest."
Li Li didn't know about the conflict between Mo Qingyan and Lin Cong. He just said to Mo Qingyan, "Mr. Mo, I'm sorry that I couldn't entertain you in person just now. So I asked someone to send two bottles of red wine over to apologize to you. I don't know if you like the two bottles of red wine just now. If you don't like it, I will ask someone to get two more bottles immediately."
"Are these two bottles of red wine for me?" Mo Qingyan looked at the two bottles of red wine that the waiter had just brought to Lin Cong.
"Yes, these two bottles of red wine are not good wines. But in our store, these two bottles are the only acceptable red wines for now. So, if you don't mind, Mr. Mo, please accept them."
These two bottles of red wine are indeed the most expensive red wines at Lizhou Banquet.
Li Li originally wanted to have someone send some white wine over.
However, thinking that young people seem to like drinking red wine, I sent some red wine over.
As soon as Li Li said this, everyone unconsciously looked at Lin Cong who was standing behind Li Li.
Just now Lin Cong said that these two bottles of red wine were given to him, so he boasted about it a lot.
So proud.
He kept calling him Uncle Li and boasted that his relationship with Li Li was not simple.
Mo Qingyan and others believed it.
As a result, when the boss of Lizhou Banquet arrived, he didn't recognize him at all.
In fact, the red wine was not given to him, but to Mo Qingyan.
The audience in the live broadcast room burst into laughter at this moment.
"Hahahaha, I can't take it anymore, this is too funny."
"Lin Cong was so cocky just now. He kept calling Mr. Li Uncle, but Mr. Li didn't even recognize him."
"Just now he was bragging in front of our brother Mo about how good Uncle Li was to him. I didn't expect that the red wine was a gift to our brother Mo."
"This Lin Cong really makes me laugh to death. This guy has always wanted to step on our Brother Mo, but in the end, he was always slapped in the face. I just want to ask if his face is swollen now."
"I thought this kind of plot was made up in TV dramas and novels, but I didn't expect it to happen in real life. If I hadn't known that Mo Ge's live broadcast had no script, I would have thought that Mo Ge had switched to acting in short skits."
…
Lin Cong, who was standing behind Li Li, had no idea about the audience's reaction in the live broadcast room.
He listened to Li Li's words. After knowing that the red wine was given to Mo Qingyan.
At first, he looked incredulous, then his face turned red when he thought of his own self-conceited behavior.
It's embarrassing, so embarrassing.
After being slapped in the face again and again, he felt that he had no face to stay any longer.
But he couldn't leave now, after all, this game was his team. The boss of Lizhou Banquet is here too.
If he left, not only would he offend everyone present, but the owner of Lizhou Banquet would probably mistakenly think that he didn't like him.
By then, it really won't be worth it.
Therefore, no matter how embarrassing it was, Lin Cong had no choice but to go back to his seat.
Faced with Li Li's enthusiasm, Mo Qingyan was filled with doubts.
What's wrong with the boss of Lizhou Banquet? Why did he suddenly send him red wine?
Moreover, he came to entertain him personally.
Mo Qingyan was very sure that she did not know this Li Li.
Therefore, it was impossible to guess why Li Li suddenly appeared and tried to please him.
After a round of greetings, Li Li said again:
"Mr. Mo, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were coming, so the dishes in this private room were all made by the unskilled chefs in the kitchen."
"I've asked Chef Hong to remake some of our Lizhou Banquet's real signature dishes. Please excuse me, you and your friends, for waiting for a moment."
"Mr. Li, you don't have to be so polite. These dishes taste good. You don't have to cook so many dishes. We can't finish them."
Although Mo Qingyan and Gao Moqi did not think highly of these dishes.
However, compared with the food from other places, the taste of these dishes is pretty good.
"Of course, it's a rare opportunity for Mr. Mo to come to our Lizhou Banquet, so of course we have to treat him well. Otherwise, it would be impolite of us."
After saying that, Li Li looked at Gao Moqi again: "Besides, Mr. Gao is here too, so of course we have to serve the best dishes to entertain him."
"You're welcome, Mr. Li." Gao Moqi nodded at him.
Gao Moqi is also very famous in the catering industry.
Therefore, almost all the owners of high-end hotels and state-class restaurants know him.
Of course Gao Moqi also knew Li Li.
Because when the Lizhou Banquet was evaluating national banquet-level restaurants, Gao Moqi was one of the judges.
Since the boss has said so, it would be bad for Mo Qingyan to refuse.
So, very quickly, the waiter brought the dishes over.
Mo Qingyan thought that it was just a matter of cooking two or three dishes.
Unexpectedly, he actually cooked a whole table of dishes.
The waiter took away all the dishes they had ordered.
Afterwards, dishes prepared by state-banquet-level chefs were served.
These dishes are all the signature dishes of Lizhou Banquet.
Two of them are the kind that need to be ordered in advance.
After all the dishes were served, Li Li didn't say anything else. He simply toasted Mo Qingyan with a glass of wine and left the private room.
During the whole process, it seemed as if he just came over to say hello to Mo Qingyan, and because the dishes served were not very good, he just changed the table of dishes for Mo Qingyan and others.
Seeing someone he had to please, he had to lower his posture and come over to toast Mo Qingyan.
Lin Cong suddenly felt a chill on his back.
Lin Cong has been able to thrive abroad, so it is impossible that he does not have some foresight.
The reason why Li Li was able to take root in H City was that no one dared to touch him.
This is because behind Li Li is the Shangjing Li family.
Even though Li Li was just a branch of the Li family in Shangjing.
It's not something they can afford to provoke.
After all, large families like the one in Shangjing that have been around for hundreds of years have already established deep roots in China.
What they care most about is face.
Even if he is just a collateral descendant, even if this collateral descendant has no future.
However, outside, these collateral descendants represent the family's face.
To offend Li Li is to offend the Li family behind him.
Therefore, no one in H City dares to offend Li Li, but instead tries their best to make friends with him.
Usually, Li Li is very arrogant because he was born in the Li family in Shangjing.
The families in H City were all indifferent to them.
That's why everyone was surprised by Li Li's attitude towards Mo Qingyan.
The contrast is too obvious.
Li Li was obviously trying to please Mo Qingyan.
After Li Li left, Wan Chuan and others couldn't wait to ask Mo Qingyan.
"Brother Mo, do you know Boss Li?"
"Boss Li is a very difficult person to deal with in our H City. When my dad came here before, it was difficult for him to see him. Brother Mo, you can actually let Boss Li come to toast you in person, which is really amazing."
"Boss Li is notoriously difficult to deal with in our H City. This is the first time I've seen him treat someone so warmly."
"Brother Mo, did you and Boss Li know each other before?"
…
Mo Qingyan herself was confused.
He didn't even know this Li Li before.
I don't even know why he suddenly sent me red wine and toasted me.
After all, Li Li did not explain his purpose.
Therefore, Mo Qingyan did not answer their questions, but just smiled and changed the subject, "Hurry up and eat, if this table full of seafood gets cold, it will not taste good."
Seeing that Mo Qingyan didn't want to talk, everyone stopped asking.
After all, these second-generations are very discerning.
Guo Ying was still the same as before, glancing at Gao Moqi from time to time while eating.
And because of repeated blows, Lin Cong has now learned to shut up.
Just sitting there quietly, facing a table full of delicious food, it felt as uncomfortable as chewing wax.
Mo Qingyan and the others ate with gusto.
The scores of each of these dishes that were re-served were over 90 points.
Among them, the two dishes that needed to be reserved even achieved a high score of 98 points in Mo Qingyan's heart.
Compared with the ones I just had, these dishes are simply worlds apart.
These dishes, paired with those two bottles of million-dollar red wine, are simply perfect.
After waiting for a long time for Mo Qingyan and the others to finally eat and drink their fill, Lin Cong couldn't wait to call the waiter to pay the bill and leave.
He couldn't stay there any longer.
However, the waiter said that the boss had waived all their expenses today.
By the way, before leaving, a special snack was given to everyone present.
Li Li also specially asked the waiter to bring a bottle of million-level champagne to Mo Qingyan.
Now, even a blind person could see that Li Li was trying to please Mo Qingyan.
After dinner, it was already nine o'clock.
Mo Qingyan’s live broadcast room has also been closed.
The program crew began to prepare to retreat.
However, the program crew’s car was fully occupied.
So, Mo Qingyan and Gao Moqi prepared to take a taxi back.
Knowing that Mo Qingyan and Gao Moqi did not drive here, Wanchuan and others enthusiastically offered to take them back.
Originally Wanchuan and others had been trying to please Mo Qingyan, and after seeing Li Li also trying to please Mo Qingyan.
Their attitude towards Mo Qingyan became even more flattering.
But Guo Ying said, "Let me take them there. You guys are not going the same way, but I am."
Wanchuan said with a smile: "What a coincidence, I'm just on the way there too! My home is also in the city center."
After saying that, Guo Ying looked at Gao Moqi, "What do you think?"
Mo Qingyan finally realized that Guo Ying was coming for Gao Moqi.
In this case, Mo Qingyan felt that she should not be the big light bulb.
So he said, "Then please trouble Miss Guo to send Judge Gao back. I will take Wanchuan's car."
After saying that, Mo Qingyan winked at Gao Moqi, then got into Wanchuan's car with a smile.
Gao Moqi had no choice but to get into Guo Ying's car.
However, he did not sit in the passenger seat, but in the back seat.
Guo Ying originally wanted to ask Gao Moqi to sit in the passenger seat.
However, I saw that Gao Moqi had already fastened his seat belt.
In the end, he didn't say anything and started the car silently.
When Mo Qingyan and Gao Moqi came from the city center, it took them two hours because of the traffic jam.
However, the way back was much smoother.
The car had been running for more than ten minutes, and Mo Qingyan and Wan Chuan were having a good chat.
The atmosphere between Gao Moqi and Guo Ying was a little awkward.
Since neither of them spoke, the car was very quiet.
Finally, seeing that the journey was halfway through, Guo Ying knew that if she didn't speak up, she might not have another chance.
So, after stopping the car at a red light, she was the first to break the silence.
"Gao Moqi, can I ask you a question?"
Gao Moqi was lowering his head, looking at the emoticon package that Mo Qingyan sent him.
After hearing what Guo Ying said, he looked up at her and said, "You say."
Guo Ying asked directly: "What do you think of me?"
Gao Moqi held the phone in his hand, paused for a moment, and then said: "I am not familiar with you, I don't know you, so I can't comment."
Mo Qingyan never judges others easily.
If you judge a person based on a one-sided view without understanding him/her, then that kind of evaluation is wrong.
It's like a delicious dish. If you only look at the appearance of the dish and smell its fragrance, it will taste delicious.
But you make a comment without tasting it yourself.
That evaluation is totally useless.
So, if you don't understand a person thoroughly, it's like understanding Xu Yi.
Gao Moqi never judges others.
Hearing Gao Moqi's answer, Guo Ying laughed, "You are still the same as before."
After so many years, even Guo Ying herself feels that she has changed a lot.
Even Wanchuan and others are the same.
Only Gao Moqi, apart from being a little more mature, seems to have not changed much from before.
Guo Ying knew that she could no longer mess around with Gao Moqi.
So, after the red light turned green and the car started again, Guo Ying directly asked the question she had always wanted to ask tonight.
"Gao Moqi, do you think I'm suitable to be your girlfriend? I liked you when I was in school. After I started working, I met many people who are better than you. I thought I could forget you. But I found that I still like you."
When she was in college, Guo Ying did not lack the courage to confess her love.
I just think that they are still young.
If you have not been influenced by society, you will not know what you really want.
Therefore, Guo Ying only likes Gao Moqi in her heart. But I never confessed to him.
The reason why she chose to confess this time was because she discovered that after so many years.
It seemed that her love for Gao Moqi had never changed.
Every time she met a man, she would compare that man with Gao Moqi.
In comparison, those men are actually very good, some are even much better than Gao Moqi.
However, in Guo Ying's heart, she still felt that Gao Moqi was the person she wanted to choose.
That's why Guo Ying mustered up the courage to confess her feelings to Gao Moqi.
Gao Moqi was slightly stunned when he heard Guo Ying's straightforward confession.
Then he said without thinking: "Sorry, we are not suitable."
"Inappropriate? What do you think is inappropriate about us?"
Guo Ying asked.
“It doesn’t fit anywhere.”
Gao Moqi was also very direct: "Personality, hobbies, work, family background, none of them are suitable."
"These can actually be accommodated. Isn't it normal for a couple to accommodate and tolerate each other?"
Guo Ying did not give up. She thought to herself that although she was not particularly outstanding.
But, it’s not bad.
She and Gao Moqi are still a good match.
So, she wanted to fight for it.
Gao Moqi did not answer but asked Guo Ying: "Do you like the steamed vermicelli with garlic sauce tonight?"
"I don't like it." Guo Ying didn't understand why he suddenly brought up that dish, but she still said honestly: "I can't eat garlic. The garlic taste of that dish is too strong. If I eat it, I might vomit."
Gao Moqi said calmly, "People who don't like garlic can't eat the steamed vermicelli with garlic tonight. If you force yourself to eat it, you will vomit. So, your choice is right. Even though you forced yourself to eat it, you as a diner feel uncomfortable, and the cook also feels uncomfortable watching. Because the chef originally made that dish for the guests who like it."
Gao Moqi's words instantly left Guo Ying speechless.
She understood what Gao Moqi meant.
Being together forcing yourself won't bring happiness, it will only make people feel bored.
Besides, Gao Moqi had made it clear that she was not a guest who was to eat the food.
So, she doesn't need to force herself to eat it.
"I see."
Even though I was rejected, I felt very sad.
However, Guo Ying is not the kind of person who is blinded by love.
If she really lost herself because of a man, she would not be able to accept it.
In fact, she had already prepared herself to be rejected.
Because she could also see that Gao Moqi didn't like her.
It’s just that Guo Ying doesn’t want to leave any regrets for herself.
After all, this was the man she loved most in her youth.
But life has just begun, and Guo Ying may meet someone who makes her heart beat again in the future.
Therefore, although some things are regrettable, there is no need to be too obsessed with them.
Therefore, Guo Ying said casually: "Thank you, Gao Moqi. Don't worry, I don't like to force myself either."
Hearing that Guo Ying understood what he meant, Gao Moqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really afraid that Guo Ying would be too persistent.
After all, girls are emotional.
"Since it's impossible for us to be together, can I ask what kind of person you like?"
Guo Ying was really curious about what type of person Gao Moqi liked.
"I can't answer you. Because I haven't met one yet." Gao Moqi actually didn't know what type of person he liked.
After all, love and friendship are two completely different things.
He seemed to be born with a special lack of emotional perception.
Just at this moment, Mo Qingyan sent him another message.
Mo Qingyan guessed that Guo Ying wanted to confess her love to him, so she sent a message to ask him whether he agreed to Guo Ying's confession.
He also joked that if he accepted Guo Ying's confession, she would not be able to run with him at night.
Because Mo Qingyan was afraid that Guo Ying would be jealous.
When Gao Moqi saw the message sent by Mo Qingyan, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.
Then I replied to him: I did not accept her confession.
Mo Qingyan: Ah? You refused? Why? She's a campus beauty, fair, rich and beautiful, and she's proactively confessing her love to you. Aren't you moved?
Gao Moqi: I’m moved.
Mo Qingyan: You are attracted to someone but you still reject their confession? What? Are you planning to imitate TV dramas and play out some tragic love story?
Mo Qingyan: My heart is moved because I am still alive. I rejected her because I didn't like her.
Mo Qingyan: ...That's good, Judge Gao. You've even learned how to tell jokes. Come on, I thought I could prepare to attend your wedding, but it turns out I was overthinking.
Seeing Mo Qingyan's message, Mo Qi smiled helplessly.
He had never realized before that Mo Qingyan actually liked gossip so much.
There was another red light ahead. Guo Ying, who had not heard any more talk from behind, stopped the car and glanced in the rearview mirror.
I found that Gao Moqi was holding a mobile phone with a helpless smile on his face.
When Guo Ying saw his smile, she was slightly stunned.
She couldn't help but ask, "Gao Moqi, who are you chatting with?"
Girls are very sensitive.
Gao Moqi always has a blank expression on his face.
Now, he can even laugh unconsciously while chatting with others.
Moreover, that smile clearly contained three parts of helplessness, three parts of pampering, and four parts of relaxation.
It is obvious that the person who is chatting with Gao Moqi has an extraordinary position in Gao Moqi's heart.
And that status was what she had always wanted.
Gao Moqi didn't see the complicated emotions in Guo Ying's eyes, and just answered honestly: "It's Mo Qingyan."
"Mo Qingyan?"
Guo Ying recalled that when they were having dinner just now, Gao Moqi's attention seemed to have always been on Mo Qingyan.
At that time, Guo Ying didn't think there was anything wrong.
She just thought they were good friends.
But now, she doesn't think so.
Her woman's intuition told her.
In Gao Moqi's heart, Mo Qingyan seems to be more than just an ordinary friend.
Soon, the two cars arrived at the gate of the villa area almost at the same time.
After Gao Moqi unbuckled his seat belt, he said thank you to Guo Ying. Then I got off the bus.
Afterwards, Guo Ying saw Mo Qingyan put her hand on Gao Moqi's shoulder after getting out of Wanchuan's car.
The smile is particularly bright.
But Gao Moqi did not refuse. Instead, he walked in with Mo Qingyan.
Seeing this scene, Guo Ying burst out laughing.
I see.
