Chapter 87 Is she a jinx?
Lin Xi turned around and saw a tall man who looked somewhat familiar. She quickly turned away from the man's embrace, thanked him, and ran to Song Xu's side.
“Brother Xu,” Lin Xi grabbed Song Xu’s arm and pointed at the man groaning on the ground, “he tried to assault me, but luckily that man saved me.”
"Brother Yunzhou, what a coincidence! Thank you for helping to save Xixi." Song Xu was called over by the waiter just in time to see Lu Yunzhou kicking the drunk man.
He held Lin Xi in his arms and comforted her, "It's alright, it's all my fault, I should have stayed by your side all the time."
Startled, Lin Xi did not refuse Song Xu's embrace. She stole a glance at Lu Yunzhou; this man knew Song Xu, and she seemed to have seen him before.
She went through everyone she had met in her mind, and finally remembered that Song Xu had drunk too much that day, and it was this man who brought him home.
Lu Yunzhou raised an eyebrow at the two people hugging each other. "Xiao Xu, if I'm not mistaken, she's the nanny you hired at home, right?"
It's fine for a nanny to do whatever she wants at home, but it's not appropriate to bring her out.
“She’s my girlfriend now,” Song Xu patted Lin Xi on the back, then let go of her and took her hand. “Did Yunzhou come with friends?”
Lu Yunzhou was having dinner with his subordinates. He likes spicy food, so he's a regular here.
“They’re not important,” Lu Yunzhou stepped over the man on the ground and went to the sink to wash his hands. “Which private room are you in? Would you mind having a drink together? It feels like it’s been a long time since we got together.”
Since Lu Yunzhou had just helped, Song Xu couldn't refuse. "It's convenient. Xi Xi and I are in room number 2."
He glanced at the man on the ground again, raised his foot and kicked him hard, thinking about how to deal with him.
“I know this guy,” Lu Yunzhou said after washing his hands and drying them with a tissue. “Calling the police won’t do any good. He’ll just come back and cause trouble again in a while. I’ll have someone take him back and have a good talk with him.”
Song Xu understood what Lu Yunzhou meant, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Yunzhou."
Lu Yunzhou took out his phone and sent a message, ignoring the man on the ground, and returned to their private room with Song Xu and Lin Xi.
Song Xu and Lin Xi sat on one side, while Lu Yunzhou sat opposite them.
Lin Xi ate quite a bit of the boiled fish in the pot, so Song Xu had it removed and ordered a new one.
"How spicy do you want it, Yunzhou?" Song Xu asked. He knew that Lu Yunzhou could handle spicy food, but when they had meals together, they didn't serve anything too spicy in order to accommodate him.
"I can eat super spicy food, but unfortunately you can't," Lu Yunzhou joked.
“I can eat other dishes,” Song Xu said, pointing to several other dishes. “You and Xixi can eat together; she loves spicy food.”
"Xi Xi?" Lu Yunzhou looked at Lin Xi, his eyes scrutinizing her.
Lin Xi immediately said her name, "My name is Lin Xi."
"Can you eat spicy food?" Lu Yunzhou asked casually.
Lin Xi nodded, "I like it super spicy and numbing."
“Not bad,” Lu Yunzhou smiled. None of the people around him could handle spicy food, and even when they came here, they only ordered mild spicy food, which didn’t taste very good. “Then you and I can be considered close friends.”
The boiled fish arrived quickly, and the spicy aroma was so strong that Song Xu couldn't help but cough twice. He didn't dare to try it at all.
Lu Yunzhou first picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth. It was numbingly spicy and flavorful enough. He hadn't eaten such a fragrant and spicy dish in a long time.
He smiled at Lin Xi, "Are you sure you can eat this? It's really numbing and spicy."
Lin Xi picked up a small bite and put it in her mouth to test the spiciness. It was so numbing, so spicy, and so refreshing. It tasted even better than the previous bowl.
She nodded. "It's edible, and delicious."
Lu Yunzhou was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected the girl opposite him to actually be able to eat spicy food.
Lin Xi had already eaten a lot, but when this new pot of boiled fish was served, it was so spicy that she couldn't help but eat it bite after bite.
She dared not drink alcohol, and instead drank yogurt with Song Xu.
Lu Yunzhou looked at the two people opposite him, both wearing blue tops, and they really did look like a couple.
"Xiao Xu, you just said that Lin Xi is your girlfriend now?"
“Yes,” Song Xu said without hesitation, “I’ll introduce you to him today.”
Lu Yunzhou put down his chopsticks, picked up his wine glass, and looked at the two of them meaningfully, "Do Uncle Song and Aunt Song know about this? Did they agree to it?"
Lin Xi also looked at Song Xu. They only had an employer-employee relationship. Would this cause trouble in front of his parents?
If his parents find out, they definitely won't agree, and they'll force them to separate. If he proposes to void the contract, then she won't have to pay the penalty for breach of contract.
But for her, the loss was still quite significant, as she earned 20,000 yuan less per month.
Song Xu glanced at Lin Xi, as if he could read her mind, and said to Lu Yunzhou, "Whether they agree or not is not important. What is important is that I want to be with Lin Xi forever."
Lin Xi was a little dumbfounded when she heard Song Xu's words.
No way, no way, he's so insistent, won't she be the one who suffers in the end? Will she be silenced by the Song family?
Lu Yunzhou narrowed his eyes. He knew how picky the Song family was about their daughter-in-law. Aunt Song didn't even like his sister, so how could she possibly like a girl like Lin Xi who had no family background?
Song Xu's firm attitude surprised Lu Yunzhou. Had he met his true love?
Lu Yunzhou couldn't help but take a second look at Lin Xi. The girl was very pretty and approachable. Even though he knew she was his sister's rival in love, he just couldn't bring himself to dislike her.
He didn't bring it up again, but focused on eating. It felt good to have someone to eat super spicy food with.
The pot of boiled fish was empty. Lin Xi was stuffed, her lips were swollen, and she was still slurping with smacks of disgust.
Lu Yunzhou's lips were also red and swollen. He wiped his mouth clean and said, "I had a great meal today. If you want spicy food next time, you can give me a call. I'm always ready to go."
"Mr. Lu, thank you so much for today." Lin Xi expressed her gratitude to Lu Yunzhou again.
She had no other way to express her gratitude except verbally.
“We’re all family, no need to thank me,” Lu Yunzhou said with a smile. “Don’t call me Mr. Lu, just call me whatever Song Xu calls me.”
"Brother Yunzhou," Lin Xi called out again.
Lu Yunzhou nodded slightly, then patted Song Xu on the shoulder, "You're paying today, but I'll treat you next time."
Lu Yunzhou's men were still waiting for him, and he got into his car as soon as he stepped out.
Song Xu then took Lin Xi into his car.
"Xixi, were you frightened today?" Song Xu squeezed her hand.
Lin Xi felt that she had experienced a lot today, from her speech at school to fighting with Shu Xi at the company, then causing a forum incident, and even encountering a pervert while having dinner in the evening.
Numb, she looked at Song Xu and said, "Do you think I'm a jinx? When I was little, my parents had someone tell my fortune, and they said that whoever meets me will be unlucky. That's why they wanted to sell me."
