Chapter 89 Beware of fire, theft, and best friends
The next afternoon, Bo Wei and Ji Mingxiu entered a very high-end restaurant.
Not long after they sat down, there was a light knock on the door of the private room, and then it was pushed open. Lu Xiyun poked her head in, looked around, and immediately smiled when she saw Bo Wei. "I thought I had come to the wrong place. Why are you eating in such a high-end place!"
Yu Yan, standing behind him, smiled helplessly and said, "Don't block the door, honey. This is just a place to eat, it's just for us."
Bo Wei and Ji Mingxiu had already stood up. Bo Wei smiled and walked to the door, opening it completely. "The three of you are together? Come in quickly."
Lu Xiyun smiled affectionately at her, walked inside, and smiled back at Ji Mingxiu behind her, "Hello."
Ji Mingxiu smiled and nodded, then quickly walked back to the table, pulled out the chair next to Bo Wei's seat, and gestured with a smile, "Please sit down."
Lu Xiyun sat down without ceremony and said with a smile, "Thank you."
Yu Yan followed behind, taking Bo Wei's arm, but her gaze was fixed on Ji Mingxiu's actions. "Oh, is someone being so gentlemanly today? Or is it that our Weiwei has been well-trained lately?"
Bo Wei smiled upon hearing this but remained silent.
Ji Mingxiu pulled out the stool next to Lu Xiyun and joked, "That must be thanks to my wife. Please sit down, you two beauties."
Upon hearing the word 'wife,' Yu Yan's smile froze for a moment.
Lu Xiyun glanced at her quickly, and Zhen Min also glanced at her out of the corner of her eye.
Bo Wei showed no reaction, as if it were a habit.
"It seems Weiwei's training of you wasn't very effective. How could you let a guest sit at the door? I don't want to."
As she spoke, she let go of Bo Wei's hand, took Zhen Min's hand, who was about to sit down, and said with dissatisfaction, "Come on, Minmin, let's sit inside. I'm all in white today, and yours is also light-colored. Let's stay away from where the food is served."
Zhen Min smiled and let her lead her inside without caring.
Yu Yan walked inside, pulled out the chair next to Ji Mingxiu, and sat down calmly. "Sit here, Minmin."
The moment she sat down, a strange silence fell over the private room.
Zhen Min glanced at her silently, then looked around at her again before quietly sitting down next to her.
Lu Xiyun glanced at it discreetly before looking away.
Ji Mingxiu glanced quickly at Bo Wei and saw that she was smiling calmly as if she had not noticed anything amiss.
“Let’s change seats. Yu Yan is right, we did not think this through,” Bo Wei said to Lu Xiyun beside her.
Lu Xiyun glanced at her speechlessly, "What's the point of changing? This place is so far from the entrance, and this private room is so big. After we finish eating, there's plenty of room even if we run around a few times to digest."
He gave her a look of disappointment, then hesitated to speak.
Ji Mingxiu walked behind Bo Wei and placed his hands on her shoulders. In that instant, he could feel that Bo Wei was somewhat uncomfortable.
He felt a bitter taste in his mouth, wondering when he would see any hope. Without making a sound, he let go of her hand, thinking, "Since the expert has given me guidance, if I still can't learn it, then I'm just being ignorant."
He smiled, bent down, picked up his phone from the table, and sat down next to Lu Xiyun.
The moment he sat down, Lu Xiyun immediately said, "I don't want to be stuck in the middle of you like a third wheel. Quick, let's find another seat."
Bo Wei smiled helplessly, and the two quickly switched places.
Yu Yan's smile froze on her face, a hint of embarrassment flickering in her eyes, as she awkwardly tucked a stray hair behind her ear.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward. Ji Mingxiu gestured to Yu Yan and the other two, "Let's take a look at the menu first and see what dishes and desserts you want. I've already inquired, and the food here is served quite quickly. We're just waiting for you to come and order together."
Zhen Min put down her phone, smiled, and took the menu to look at with Yu Yan. "Then we won't be polite. Yan'er, stop daydreaming and take a look at what you want to eat."
Yu Yan smiled and said, "Okay."
Shortly after, Ji Mingxiu's two colleagues, Lin Yiran and Zhao Xiaoyu, as well as his friend Xiang Yize, arrived.
With the addition of a few male guests, the atmosphere in the private room instantly became lively. After all, apart from Ji Mingxiu and Bo Wei, everyone at the table was single. The women were all outstanding and beautiful, and the men were all highly paid, highly educated, and good-looking. This gathering was essentially a collection of resources.
After all the dishes were served, Bo Wei stood up with her drink, looking somewhat shy.
"The main reason I invited everyone here today is to sincerely thank you all for your continued help and support. I am truly grateful. I have no way to repay you, so I can only express my gratitude in this simple way. I hope you enjoy the food and drinks, and please don't be shy. If there is anything I can do to help you in the future, please don't hesitate to ask me to help. I will do my best to contribute money or effort within my capabilities."
"You're making it sound like we've done something amazing. Sit down, we don't do that kind of thing at the dinner table."
"Weiwei, sit down quickly, don't be so serious, it's not my style haha."
"You're telling us not to be so formal? You're the one being too formal..."
Bo Wei's earnest thanks were quickly interrupted by everyone, and Ji Mingxiu then stood up with a smile to defuse the situation, "Weiwei is sincere and has always remembered your kindness to her. Since you don't like to hear it, then eat and drink well. Weiwei can't drink alcohol, so I'll toast everyone."
Everyone ate, drank, and chatted, creating a very pleasant atmosphere.
Lu Xiyun leaned close to Bo Wei's ear and whispered, "Come with me to the restroom."
Bo Wei nodded, "Okay, I wanted to go too."
The two went to the restroom. Bo Wei washed her hands and tidied her hair while waiting for Lu Xiyun.
Footsteps approached, and a smiling voice rang in my ears, "What a coincidence, we meet again."
Bo Wei turned her head and met a pair of deep, beautiful eyes. She smiled with delight, "What a coincidence!"
Are you alone? Want to come together?
Bo Wei shook her head, "It's inconvenient, I'm with a group of friends."
"Alright, then we'll have to talk about it another time if we have the chance."
Bo Wei smiled and said, "Okay."
Li Zhiyun smiled as she went inside and took out her phone to send a WeChat message.
Lu Xiyun quickly came out and left together.
Lu Xiyun held back for a while, but still spoke up to remind her, "Weiwei, you don't seem worried at all that Ji Mingxiu will be snatched away? Excellent men are rare, and if you're not careful, someone will take him away!"
Bo Wei asked with a smile, "What do you want to say?"
Lu Xiyun was unwilling to talk about these things behind people's backs, but wasn't yesterday's incident caused by her saying one more thing?
She was still a little angry about what happened yesterday, but that had little to do with her reminding Bo Wei now.
The main reason is that she is closer to Bo Wei, and Yu Yan's behavior is indeed a betrayal of Bo Wei.
"Don't you think Yu Yan treats Ji Mingxiu differently? You have to be careful of your best friend. I'm not trying to sow discord, I just want to remind you. After all, you are my best friend, and I don't want you to get hurt."
After she finished speaking, she observed Bo Wei's reaction.
