Chapter 67 Han Xi is not good enough
Fang Li cursed subconsciously in her heart, "You're so touching!"
But he remained calm and asked, "What exactly did Mr. Lu want to talk to me about today?"
Lu Jie had a smile on his face the entire time. When he heard that, a hint of boredom flashed across his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a smile. “Come and sit down. Let’s eat and talk.”
He walked towards the main seat. Someone pulled out a chair for him, but he leaned over and sat down without even looking.
There was only one empty seat at the table, next to him.
Fang Li looked at him and stood there without moving.
Lu Jie raised his eyes, his smile fading. "Why? Are your legs too weak to walk, or do you want me to come over and hold you down?"
Fang Li frowned and finally raised her foot.
After she sat down, the door of the private room was pushed open and the waiters came in and started serving the dishes.
Every dish was exquisite and beautiful, making people's mouths water. Unfortunately, Fang Li was not in the mood at the moment. Her mind was full of thoughts about how to leave.
Lu Jie: "Since you're here, how about trying Mulinju's food?"
He picked up a piece of bright orange pork ribs and put it into Fang Li's bowl. Fang Li lowered her eyes and took a look without any reaction.
"Mr. Lu, we don't seem to be close enough to each other to pick up food for each other." She side-eyed him, her gaze fixed on him. "Thank you for your hospitality, but I have something else to do later, so I'll take my leave now."
As she spoke, Fang Li was about to stand up.
Lu Jie's smile faded, and he raised his hand to hold her down. "What does it mean to be familiar? Like you and Han Lao Er?"
Fang Li remained silent.
He pursed his lips and continued, "Whether we can be close and how close we can be depends entirely on you. Do you want to try it?"
Lu Jie's words were teasing, and Fang Li replied calmly, "Mr. Lu, why would you compare yourself to Han Xi? Besides, I don't want to get too close to you."
Hearing this, Lu Jie's smile remained unchanged: "So heartless?"
Fang Li remained expressionless and didn't answer.
Lu Jie didn't get angry either. He took the cup in front of her and poured her a glass of red wine. "It's okay if you don't eat or drink."
Fang Li: "Sorry, I don't drink."
The atmosphere was tense and tense. Someone at the table laughed and teased, "Mr. Lu, it seems Miss Xu doesn't appreciate your kindness at all."
Lu Jie curled his lips slightly, revealing a bit of frustration. He put down his wine glass and looked at Fang Li and said, "Why are you so cold? You just accept Han Lao Er's orders. I've tried my best to be sincere, and you won't even give me this little face?"
Fang Li said, "It's not that I don't give Mr. Lu face, it's just that I really can't drink."
"Mr. Lu, in the capital, even if you're not the one who can cover the sky with one hand, you should be a figure who can shake the world with a stomp of your foot. I believe I have never provoked you. Can't we just go back to the bridge and the road? Why do you have to force me?"
"Is that asking too much?" Lu Jie laughed. "I went to so much trouble to invite you over for dinner, how can that be considered asking too much?"
The man next to him also chuckled. Lu Jie raised the corner of his mouth and leaned closer to her, raising an eyebrow: "If you say so, then what will you do if I really want to force you to do it?"
Fang Li wanted to curse in her heart. She had already said so much, and you insisted on forcing her to do something? What could she do? Just let it go!
Lu Jie also saw that she was on the edge of her patience, so the cynical smile on his face faded a little. He sat back in his chair with a slightly more serious expression.
Just when Fang Li thought he had had enough fun and was about to let her go, he stared at her quietly for a few seconds, then suddenly curled his lips and smiled: "Want to leave here?"
Fang Li didn't say anything, but the look in her eyes was obvious.
Lu Jie leaned back in his chair, staring at Fang Li's face without blinking. Fang Li met his gaze, and for a moment, she felt that the person sitting next to her was not a human being. There was a mischievous and sinister look in his eyes, just like a male vixen who had been cultivating for a thousand years!
Her hair stood on end when he looked at her, and she heard him slowly say, "How about this, if you agree to a few conditions, I'll let you go."
Fang Li frowned: "How many?"
Lu Jie thought for a moment and said, "Three, how about just three? As long as you can do it, I promise not to embarrass you and will personally escort you out."
Fang Li endured, "You speak first."
Lu Jie smiled meaningfully, and leisurely raised a finger and said, "First, take me off the blacklist, and don't ignore my calls from now on."
"......Okay." Fang Li said coldly: "Tell me the second one."
Lu Jie sat up, leaned his elbows on the edge of the table, looked at her sideways and said, "Second brother, next time we meet, you can't pretend not to know me. You must take the initiative to say hello to me."
Fang Li's expression was indifferent. She paused for a moment before nodding, "...the third one."
Some people in the private room laughed quietly, but most of them kept their eyes on the situation and didn't dare to show too much expression. There was some disbelief in everyone's eyes. They couldn't understand what tricks Lu Jie was playing. He had a bad temper and no patience, but he was so patient with Fang Li.
After hearing the two conditions he proposed, Fang Li gradually felt relieved and her heart relaxed a lot.
At this moment, a mischievous look flashed in Lu Jie's eyes. He didn't expect that although she looked cold and timid, she actually didn't have much courage, but she became so easy to talk to after a little threat.
He really wanted to see what other special reactions she would have, so he raised his eyebrows and teased her, "The third one is actually very simple."
He stared at Fang Li intently, a smile playing at the corner of his mouth, but that smile didn't reach his eyes. He said indifferently, "If you say 'Han Xi is not suitable' three times in front of everyone, I will let you go immediately. How about it?"
The man on Lu Jie's right tried to hold back for a long time, but finally couldn't help laughing out loud.
On the other hand, Lu Jie looked at Fang Li seriously, as if he didn't realize how ridiculous what he said was.
"How do you know he can't do it?" Fang Li looked provocative.
Lu Jie smiled evilly: "So you know? So you and him..."
"Shut up!"
Fang Li's ears felt hot and her eyelids twitched due to physiological reflex. Looking at his confident and relaxed appearance, she really wanted to pick up the red wine in front of her and pour it directly on his head!
What did he take her for? Was he just teasing her all day?
God knows how deep the grudge is between him and Han Xi. What does their fight have to do with her?
Han Xi is the same. Why did he pick on such a lunatic when there were so many people to pick on?
Fang Li took a deep breath secretly. Although she was very angry and her chest rose and fell slightly, she still kept it under control and did not show any fear or anger.
Lu Jie looked at her and chuckled, "If you don't say anything, then you can't blame me. You can only accompany me to finish the meal and see how I feel before you say anything."
Fang Li said nothing. To be honest, she had been too lazy to pay attention to him since he made his third request. She shouldn't have had any illusions about this kind of person who talked nonsense and took pleasure in playing tricks on others.
