Chapter 58: Eating with Shang Yu
When Lu Yiran heard this, he frowned, then opened his eyes and looked in the direction the driver pointed. He saw Mu Nanyan and a man in a suit walking into the Moonlight Restaurant together.
"This restaurant again? Where did Mu Nanyan get so much money to eat in this restaurant? And who is the man next to her?"
Lu Yiran discovered that he knew nothing about Mu Nanyan's social circle. He instructed the driver:
"Pull over to the street across from the restaurant and stop."
"Okay, Master."
The driver turned the steering wheel and drove the car towards the opposite side of the restaurant. Lu Yiran's eyes were fixed on the restaurant. He saw Mu Nanyan and the man in a suit found a seat by the window and sat down. The man also pulled a chair for Mu Nanyan. He looked gentlemanly and polite. Judging from the man's temperament, he didn't seem like someone Mu Nanyan, a college student, would know.
The Rolls-Royce stopped opposite the restaurant. Lu Yiran didn't say anything, and the driver didn't dare to say anything either. There was silence in the car. Lu Yiran had no intention of getting out. He just sat in the car and watched Mu Nanyan and the man having dinner together. The two seemed to be talking and laughing, and their relationship was very close. Lu Yiran felt like his head was about to turn green, and his face gradually became gloomy.
"Drive back to Yujing Tiancheng."
Lu Yiran ordered in a cold voice. It was clearly over 30 degrees Celsius outside, and the air conditioner in the car should have been cool and comfortable, but the driver suddenly felt a bit cold, with cold sweat on his back. He had to pretend he knew nothing and turned around to drive towards Yujing Tiancheng.
Lu Yiran took out his cell phone and called Song Rui directly. When Song Rui saw that it was his boss calling, he immediately had a bad feeling in his heart, but he still quickly answered the phone.
"Hello, Mr. Lu."
"Go and help me find out who was having dinner with Mu Nanyan at the Moonlight Restaurant this afternoon and see what their relationship is."
"Okay, Mr. Lu."
As soon as Song Rui answered, the call was hung up. Song Rui looked at his phone with resentment. He had just walked out of Dingsheng's underground garage. He was planning to relax in the evening, but now his plan was ruined. He had just got off work and went back to work. His happiness lasted only ten minutes.
He put down his phone and drove towards the Moonlight Restaurant. He wanted to see who made him work overtime!
Moonlight Restaurant
After Mu Nanyan and Shang Yu went in, Shang Yu didn't want Mu Nanyan to spend too much money, so he chose a table outside. He pointed to the seat by the window and said:
"Let's sit somewhere."
"OK."
Mu Nanyan followed Shang Yu and walked towards the dining table. After Shang Yu arrived at the seat, he did not sit down in a hurry. Instead, he pulled out the chair opposite and motioned Mu Nanyan to sit down.
"Thanks."
Mu Nanyan didn't think much about it. She thanked him and sat down directly. Shang Yu then sat down at the seat opposite. The waiter came over and handed two menus to the two of them. Mu Nanyan said:
"Shang Yu, you order first and see what you like to eat."
Shang Yu didn't hesitate, took the menu, glanced at it, and began to read out the names of the dishes:
"Matsuba crab, stone fish, tangerine peel, mangrove, old duck, and fish maw soup, and a seasonal vegetable."
After Shang Yu finished speaking, he looked at Mu Nanyan.
"Anything else you want?"
Mu Nanyan shook her head.
"No, there are only two of us. We can't finish the food if we order too much."
"So what do you drink?"
"Cranberry juice, please."
"Okay, another cranberry juice."
Shang Yu handed the menu to the waiter after he finished speaking, and the waiter took the menu and left. Mu Nanyan raised her eyebrows and looked at Shang Yu:
"You seem familiar with this place?"
"Wasn't this restaurant very popular a while ago? I've eaten here a few times with my friends and I'm quite familiar with the food."
Shang Yu subconsciously touched his nose when he said this. He had actually brought his ex-girlfriend here to eat a few times before, but he didn't dare to say this to Mu Nanyan, for fear that Mu Nanyan would have a bad impression of him.
"I see. My friend and I also ate here last time and thought their food was pretty good."
"Yes, what I just ordered are their signature dishes. I don't know if you have tried them before. You can try them later. I think they are pretty good."
"Yeah, my friend is allergic to seafood, so he didn't order it last time. This time, he might have a chance to try it."
The two of them were chatting and laughing, and soon the dishes came up. Then they started eating, chatting about this and that, but no one mentioned the company's matter again.
Yujing Tiancheng
The Rolls-Royce drove into the mansion's garage and stopped. Lu Yiran opened the car door and walked out, heading straight towards the mansion's living room.
When the housekeeper heard the car sound, he thought it was Mu Nanyan coming back. He walked outside, and when he saw it was Lu Yiran, he was stunned for a moment.
"Young Master, it's been so long since you came back. Why did you suddenly come back today? Did something happen again?"
The butler hurried out to greet him and shouted respectfully:
"Master, you're back."
"Um."
Lu Yiran responded lightly, walked directly to the sofa in the living room and sat down. After a long while, he asked:
"Butler, has Mu Nanyan behaved abnormally these past few days?"
The butler thought for a while before saying:
"Miss Mu hasn't been acting out of the ordinary lately. She comes home early every day and is usually home by this time. But she hasn't come back yet today."
"Miss Mu? Didn't you always call her Young Madam before? Who told you to change the name?"
Lu Yiran frowned and stared at the housekeeper intently, as if he was looking at a criminal who had done something wrong.
The housekeeper was frightened by Lu Yiran's eyes and quickly explained: "Yes... Miss Xu asked us to change it. The last time she came to Yujing Tiancheng to look for Madam Mu..., the Madam went upstairs without even eating. Miss Xu said..."
The housekeeper didn't know what to say next, as if no matter what he said, he was just trying to sow discord. Lu Yiran was a little annoyed by her behavior, and his tone became even worse. He said coldly:
"What did she say?"
The housekeeper had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain, "Miss Xu said that the Young Master and the Young Mistress will get divorced sooner or later, and asked us not to call her Young Mistress, otherwise the real Young Mistress would be angry when she finds out."
As soon as the housekeeper finished speaking, Lu Yiran's face darkened. He thought that Mu Nanyan bullied Xu Nanxing. So Xu Nanxing bullied Mu Nanyan?
"Mu Nanyan and I have a marriage certificate. Even if we have no feelings for each other, she is still Mrs. Lu. She should be respected with all due respect. Even if I treat Nanxing as my sister, she has no right to interfere in the affairs of Yujing Tiancheng."
"I understand, Master. We will pay attention to it later. Oh, there is one more thing."
