While Mu Liuyun remained calm, Long Haochen could not.
Damn it, he not only hit on one man, but he hit on two men in one day.
If Mu Liuyun reveals his true nature, then what will he use to pursue Shui Qing?
So he glared at Mu Liuyun, his eyes seeming to say, 'You better not talk nonsense.'
Mu Liuyun pursed her lips and looked back at her without any politeness.
I'm not even afraid of Shen Lanxin glaring at me, so who are you?
While Mu Liuyun and Long Haochen were silently confronting each other, Zhang Ruyu, who noticed the conversation hadn't turned to her, became unhappy. She had assumed that Long Haochen, like Shi Hengyu, had also taken a liking to this fake woman.
"Mu Liuyun, didn't you say you were busy today? Why are you here again? Oh, I forgot you're an orphan. Perhaps you couldn't bear to miss this meal?"
Even Long Haochen, a man driven by indiscriminate hunger, couldn't help but get goosebumps from that sarcastic tone. He was worried that Mu Liuyun would expose his past, so he couldn't afford to fall out with her now.
"Ruyu, how can you say that? All guests are welcome. Mu Liuyun, why don't you come and have a meal with us? Chef Shui Yilan's dishes are at a level you've never tasted before."
"Yes, yes, Xiaoyun, come along!"
Seemingly seeing a glimmer of hope, Shui Qing even started using the same way she used to address Mu Liuyun.
"No, I..."
Seeing that Mu Liuyun was about to refuse again, Shui Qing simply grabbed his arm and forcefully dragged him into Shui Yilan's house.
Mu Liuyun was speechless. It was one thing that he couldn't beat the tall and strong Shen Lanxin and Chu Yaqin, but why couldn't he even beat the seemingly weak Shui Qing?
Although Long Haochen and Zhang Ruyu came out to pick up their classmate, their main purpose was to meet Shui Qing. Now that they had met Shui Qing, they no longer needed to stand like stone lions at the door. They followed Shui Qing and walked together towards the private room on the second floor.
When Mu Liuyun got upstairs, she was dumbfounded. Where was the private room she was promised?
The group of classmates were gathered around a few tables closest to the kitchen, chattering noisily, completely out of place with their surroundings.
However, no waiter would say anything, since a truly good restaurant is one where customers enjoy the service, not the rules.
Mu Liuyun, who had been dragged to a seat by Shui Qing, glanced down at the time on her phone.
According to Grandpa, he only needs to arrive before six o'clock. It's 5:10 now, so there's still some time. It seems like he can chat with his classmates.
But Mu Liuyun didn't want to sit here at all, because these people were just being sarcastic and sarcastic.
It's not that there aren't any normal people in the class, it's just that the only ones who can accompany Zhang Ruyu to this class reunion are this group of like-minded people.
But Shuiqing held his arm tightly, making it impossible for him to break free.
What could be done? He was just a weak and helpless little boy.
Just as he was about to lose his temper, Zhang Ruyu and Long Haochen also took their seats. Perhaps seeing that there were people sitting on both sides of Shui Qing, Long Haochen sat down next to Mu Liuyun, his eyes occasionally glancing at Mu Liuyun and Shui Qing.
However, he looked at Mu Liuyun with a wary expression, while he looked at Shui Qing with a gentle expression. Especially when he saw Shui Qing grabbing Mu Liuyun's arm, his eyes seemed to blaze with fire.
Mu Liuyun felt numb all over from being stared at, and could only try to slap Shui Qing's hand with her small hand, but to no avail.
Zhang Ruyu, sitting next to Long Haochen, had been secretly watching the interaction between the three of them. Her face was flushed with anger, but it wasn't visible because of the thick layer of putty covering her face. The other classmates also noticed the strange atmosphere, but since Zhang Ruyu and Long Haochen hadn't made a move yet, they didn't react.
Halfway through serving the dishes, Mu Liuyun, whose hands were getting tired from patting, shook her sore and numb right arm, sighed, and looked at Shui Qing in a gentle tone: "Shui Qing, let go of me, I need to go to the restroom."
Shui Qing seemed to finally come to her senses. Perhaps Mu Liuyun was too weak. Just now, she thought Mu Liuyun was playing with her and didn't think much of it. She even felt her heart beating a little faster.
Before Shui Qing could release Mu Liuyun's hand, Zhang Ruyu finally spoke up: "We have to thank Young Master Long for the opportunity to have dinner at Shuiyilan today!"
As she spoke, she rested her head on Long Haochen's shoulder with a happy expression. Long Haochen didn't even look at her; his eyes were fixed on Shui Qing.
"Young Master Long is mighty!"
"Only Young Master Long could secure a spot at Shuiyilan!"
"Thank you, Young Master Long, for opening my eyes to this!"
Long Haochen turned his face and nodded with a smile.
It's true that he looks down on these ordinary people, and it's also true that he's happy to hear compliments.
Mu Liuyun didn't chime in. He was already exhausted from being a stand-in and having to read people's faces. He didn't have time to deal with these guys who wouldn't pay him. He just wanted to know how to get the handcuffs off his hands.
After a round of flattery, Zhang Ruyu suddenly turned his gaze to Mu Liuyun.
In an instant, Mu Liuyun seemed to have triggered a spider's sense; he had already guessed what the next step would be.
"Hey, Mu Liuyun, don't you have anything to say?"
As expected, the topic turned to Mu Liuyun.
Mu Liuyun really didn't want to pay any attention to Zhang Ruyu right now; he just wanted Shui Qing to let go of him. But at this moment, Shui Qing seemed to be trapped in some kind of illusion, staring blankly at his hand, motionless as if she were dead.
Seeing that Mu Liuyun ignored her for a long time, Zhang Ruyu exchanged glances with her other roommates on the other side of the table, and they immediately understood.
"Look at him, he said he wasn't coming this morning, but he's coming this afternoon, and he's even shamelessly arrogant~"
"His shabby clothes are one thing, but I don't know how he had the nerve to come here."
"Oh dear~ stop it~ It's his fault for being an orphan~ Mu Liuyun, you too, why didn't you think to ask your sugar daddy for a couple of clothes~"
Other classmates chimed in, some openly cursing, some subtly insulting, and others making sarcastic remarks.
Mu Liuyun didn't seem to care much, but Shui Qing's grip on his arm tightened slightly, making Mu Liuyun feel a little pain.
Long Haochen's expression softened a bit. He thought to himself that Mu Liuyun was an orphan. If he gave her some benefits, she probably wouldn't reveal her true colors in front of Shui Qing.
and...
Long Haochen glanced at Mu Liuyun again and swallowed.
It's not that men are no good... How much money should I give him? I don't know if 50,000 would be enough?
"Mu Liuyun, so you're an orphan? How about coming to my house as a nanny? The salary should be higher than what you earn delivering food."
"Wow, Haochen, you're so kind-hearted!"
