Soon, Lu Zheng and Ming Xiang got up and went upstairs.
Inside the room, Mingxiang's parents were there, as were Li Gu and Li Jingxuan, but because the chairs had been removed, there was only one chair left in the entire private room.
Li Gu deliberately stood up, ignoring Lu Zheng, and walked towards Ming Xiang.
"Xiao Xiang, Uncle has been waiting for you for a long time. Come, have a seat..."
As he spoke, he reached out to place his hands on Mingxiang's shoulders.
But before he could get close to Ming Xiang, she had already pulled Lu Zheng aside: "Since there's one less chair here, I won't sit down. Let my boyfriend sit down. It's a matter of husband and wife following each other, it's a matter of etiquette since ancient times."
Normally, Lu Zheng would give way to Ming Xiang; the two of them have had a very good relationship these past few days.
Lu Zheng is also very considerate and never engages in the traditional wife-led approach.
But today is a special case.
Ming Xiang made this arrangement partly to give Lu Zheng face, and partly to warn Li Gu and Li Jingxuan.
Li Gu's old face twitched twice.
Lu Zheng sat down without hesitation.
"Xiao Xiang!"
Mingxiang's mother said somewhat angrily, "Didn't I tell you? You came by yourself today. What are you doing? Your Uncle Li invited you to dinner, how could you act like this? You have no manners at all."
The old lady stood up and began to berate Mingxiang.
Li Jingxuan immediately stepped in to play the good guy, saying, "Auntie, Auntie, don't be angry. This isn't Mingxiang's fault. It's just that some people, hehe, shameless. It's okay, it's just one more pair of chopsticks. Why make a fuss over nothing?"
Snap!
Mingxiang's father slammed his fist on the table: "Lu Zheng, what you did in our Mingjia Village, my wife and I haven't bothered you. Why are you still not satisfied?"
"Xiao Xiang, what are we supposed to say to you?"
Seeing their angry expressions, Lu Zheng sneered: "It's only natural that I'm having dinner with my wife. I'm worried about her coming out alone. If you're not happy about it, you can leave now."
“However…” Lu Zheng pointed to his feet, “I know you’ve arranged quite a few reporters downstairs. If we come and then leave, or if we don’t even come, then tell me, how are these reporters supposed to report this?”
"you……"
Li Jingxuan's eyes widened.
He arranged those reporters very discreetly, how did Lu Zheng find out?
Mingxiang also said, "Mom and Dad, I've already said that Lu Zheng is my boyfriend. Wherever I go, he can follow me without any problem. Also, Lu Zheng is right. If you don't welcome him, we can leave now."
"Hey, hey, hey... Look, we haven't even eaten yet, why are you all unhappy?"
Li Gu quickly laughed it off: "More people means more chopsticks, right?"
The old fox immediately changed back to his original expression, a smile on his face, and gave the manager at the door a slight nod.
The manager quickly came in and tried to smooth things over, saying, "It's my fault, it's my fault. Today, Mr. Li said he specially invited Miss Mingxiang to resolve this matter. You see, we didn't arrange a chair. I'm so sorry. Here, I'll bring you a bottle of good wine; our hotel will pay for it!"
"Come on, get another chair for room 302, and hurry up."
Li Gu and his group originally intended to use this opportunity to humiliate Lu Zheng, but Ming Xiang's actions disrupted their plans.
Now we can only wait until it's time to deal with Lu Zheng and the others.
After the manager served all the food, Li Gu coughed lightly: "There was a slight misunderstanding just now. When it comes to eating, it should be a pleasant meal. It would be no fun if the dinner party was filled with smoke and fumes."
"Come on, let's drink this up, and let's call it even."
There's nothing wrong with this bottle of wine.
The problem lies with the next bottle of red wine.
As he spoke, Li Gu secretly gave Li Jingxuan a wink.
After finishing his drink, Li Jingxuan carried the bottle over to Lu Zheng and Ming Xiang.
His hand pressed on Lu Zheng's shoulder: "Brother Lu, I went too far just now. Don't take it to heart. I'm the kind of person who doesn't watch what I say. Besides, we're rivals in love, but I think my father is right."
"There's no need for us to make a scene. Here, brother, I'll pour you a drink as an apology."
As he spoke, he reached out to pour wine for Lu Zheng.
Anyway, Mingxiang is his today, so he doesn't care about suffering this little grievance.
As long as I can get Mingxiang into bed and enjoy the taste of this woman, I can just abandon her later.
Little did he know, Lu Zheng had seen through all his scheming.
"Mingxiang, I also want to apologize to you. I asked my dad to do this today. I think we've had too many misunderstandings before, so let's have a drink today and talk things out."
What do you think?
Ming Xiang smiled slightly: "Okay!"
Lu Zheng was prepared; if they wanted to play this game so elaborately, then he would play along to the end.
Anyway, the two private rooms to the left and right of this room are all occupied by Lu Zheng's men. If they try to do something to me later, all of them can rush in together, grab the evidence, and see how they react.
Her parents were sitting in front of her, otherwise Mingxiang wouldn't bother acting anymore.
Seeing that the two readily agreed to let him pour the wine, Li Jingxuan laughed and said, "See? Now we can have a proper talk."
His laughter inadvertently revealed a hint of arrogance.
I thought Lu Zheng was some kind of awesome guy.
What good would it do to come along?
They'll soon be completely fooled by themselves.
Just because someone tells you to hold a wine glass, you actually think you're being accommodating?
At this moment, Li Jingxuan had already begun to strongly despise Lu Zheng.
Mingxiang's parents weren't as good at pretending as him, and their eyes were constantly scrutinizing Lu Zheng.
They must seize the opportunity to persuade Lu Zheng to give up his daughter.
How could Lu Zheng be worthy of Ming Xiang?
After today, let the two of them stay far apart.
Li Jingxuan smiled and said, "Alright, alright, this bottle is empty. I'll go pick another one myself. This restaurant has some good wine. Let's drink until we drop today."
The bottle of the fine wine he mentioned was actually a double-sided bottle.
This was specially ordered by him today.
However, he planned to get Lu Zheng and Ming Xiang drunk together.
He had only planned to make it a fait accompli, and he was thinking about how to deal with Mingxiang and explain things to her when she woke up the next day. But now he suddenly had an idea.
Or perhaps he could simply enjoy it and then discard it...
Let's just shift the blame to Lu Zheng.
Anyway, the two of them are together now.
As for Mingxiang's parents, they are incredibly stupid. Even if they knew, they couldn't do anything about it. This can be considered his revenge on Mingxiang, since Mingxiang chose Lu Zheng.
