CHAPTER 487: CHAPTER 487: LOOKING UNSOPHISTICATED

Lu Jing didn’t sit down immediately, instead he said directly,

"Miss Qu, would you welcome my friend? If not, we can move to the next room, and still talk after eating."

Tsk tsk.

Have you ever seen such assertiveness from a guest invited to a meal?

No wonder, she is Devil Jiang’s woman; sometimes, her actions and style are much like the Great Demon’s.

Could this be the so-called couple resemblance?

What could Qu Zhi say?

Obviously, if she didn’t agree, they would walk away immediately.

She hadn’t achieved her goals yet; how could she let them leave?

Although she briefly lost control, Qu Zhi believed that the other party just had an impressive facade and nothing more, with the rest of the advantages still being hers.

"Welcome, of course, welcome. Miss, please have a seat."

Dai Changwan looked towards her best friend, then understood the meaning from her eyes.

Then, without further ado,

"Alright, then I’ll sit down. Lu Lu, you sit as well, don’t just stand."

Lu Jing then took his seat smoothly, and Qu Zhi’s manager and assistant also sat down beside her.

For a while, although there were five people in the room, no one started speaking first.

It was the server who came over with the dishes that broke the silence.

"Excuse me, here are your dishes."

Lu Jing and Dai Changwan naturally didn’t make conversation; it wasn’t their treat, so they followed the host’s lead.

Qu Zhi nodded slightly:

"Serve them."

The first course was a grand dish, a signature of the hotel, freshly flown in from Australia this morning—large lobsters.

Of course, the price was also exceptionally beautiful.

Something ordinary people couldn’t even dream of.

Following were the second and third dishes, all outrageously expensive.

Was Miss Qu being too naive?

Thinking she could intimidate Lu Jing into submission?

Ahem.

As an heiress of the Lu Family who always kept a low profile, she was certainly not inexperienced.

Qu Zhi greatly underestimated her.

Indeed, maybe she thought Lu Jing was just a normal girl, and that’s why she was so arrogant to directly call and arrange a meeting.

Seeing that both Lu Jing and Dai Changwan remained unmoved, Qu Zhi’s face soured.

When no one could see, she fiercely pinched the back of her assistant’s hand.

The young assistant was in so much pain she almost cried but endured silently without making a sound.

"Miss Lu, I made urgent plans today. Without time to prepare, I had to manage with these hotel dishes to host you."

Great, all this was just making do. How extravagantly did they usually live?

Such people should be thoroughly investigated, you can guess it all—the investigation would certainly leave them no way out.

"Really? I think it’s quite nice, what do you think, Awan?"

Dai Changwan smiled:

"I also think it’s quite good. It’s Australian large lobsters after all!"

She exaggerated as if she had never seen such luxury.

Miss Qu, seeing this, let her derision show without any attempt to hide it, her eyes clearly saying "country bumpkin!"

Afterwards, Lu Jing and Dai Changwan didn’t hesitate, picking up their chopsticks to start eating.

Having gone hungry all morning, they weren’t in the mood to waste time.

Besides, someone rich was treating them today; commonly known as "eating on the rich," there was no need for politeness.

It’s rare to eat these dishes on ordinary days, especially Australian lobsters that had just arrived this morning!

The two enjoyed the meal immensely, of course, maintaining proper table manners, eating gracefully all the while.
