Chu Feng tapped Zhou Ying’s little hand in a reassuring way and indicated that the problem was small. “Since I gave it to you, it is yours to keep.”
Zhou Ying nodded. She was touched and happy. “Thank you, brother.”
Chu Feng smiled. Then, he dialled Luo Gang’s phone number. “City centre, No. 72, Bauhinia Private Club. Please help me contact the boss to purchase the place.”
“Alright.”
The waitress saw all of this. Out of professionalism, she didn’t say anything. However, her face had a look of contempt and disdain. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
It seemed to her that Chu Feng was just faking it and showing off.
In that private club, even an ordinary cup of flower tea cost more than a thousand. The cups they used there were made of blue and white porcelain that cost tens of thousands each. If one were to buy the entire place, it would cost at least one billion.
Furthermore, the owner of the club was the son of Jiangbei’s greatest writer, who was also known as ‘the living saint’, Han Yongwen, who had a strong background and was well-respected by people. This was definitely not some place that could be coveted by any ordinary people.
The waitress shook her head and sighed. “There are recently so many people who don’t know their own place and are always hoping to bite more than they can chew.” She was feeling exceptionally disdainful toward them.
After the phone call, Chu Feng took Zhou Ying with him and walked into the club.
“Son, here! Here!”
As soon as they stepped through the door, they saw Liu Minglan happily waving her hands. She looked very happy, like she had a lot of confidence in this day’s blind date.
She tugged on Chu Feng’s hand and spoke non-stop. “Son, I spent a lot of energy and effort to set you up with the girl today. I had to use a lot of connections before she agreed to meet us. She comes from a well-educated family. The girl is a professor who studied overseas. She is highly educated, has a good personality, and she is even really pretty. I heard that she was even considered the top beauty in her college, so for sure there would be nothing to pick on her.”
Chu Feng glanced at the girl’s picture. True enough, she was tall and had the looks of a model. Her temperament was also not bad. However, there was a haughty look in her eyes, like she had a high opinion of herself and considered herself way above everybody else.
Liu Minglan was very happy. She joyfully whispered in Chu Feng’s ear, “Most importantly, this girl has full bosoms and hip. She will definitely be able to bear you a son.”
Pfft! Chu Feng choked and nearly spat his tea out.
Zhou Ying blushed too. She stomped her foot and said with an embarrassed tone, “Mom, w-what are you talking about?”
With the pipe in his mouth, Zhou Lie’s face darkened and he said, “Please do act more seriously!”
“You be serious yourself! I set our son up for a blind date, so what has that got to do with you? If you have the ability, then introduce a girl to your son yourself!” Liu Minglan put her hands on her waist and glared at him, sounding bold and accusing.
Zhou Lie turned away with a darkened expression; he remained speechless.
Chu Feng helplessly shook his head. He told Liu Minglan, “Mom, I’m here today to only take a look at her. We can talk about everything else later on.”
“You’re here to only take a look at her? Child, what do you mean? I went all the way to set this blind date up and you think that I’m only joking around with you?” Liu Minglan glared at him with dissatisfaction.
“Mom, have some tea.”
Of course, Chu Feng didn’t want to provoke his mother, so he only laughed out loud. As he laughed, he signalled the waitress over to take their order.
“We’ll talk about this later.” Liu Minglan stared at Chu Feng and angrily picked up the menu. As soon as she saw the price of the drinks on the menu that were of four to five digits, her eyelids started to twitch.
In the end, they ordered only four cups of carbonated drinks, and that cost seven or eight hundred.
At that point, Liu Minglan started complaining non-stop, saying that she didn’t know if the water was made of gold, or if the cup was made of gold. How could one cup of drink cost a few hundred? That was daylight robbery.
Chu Feng didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. He could only patiently explain that people drank there for the sake of doing business and networking; it wasn’t just about the drinks.
Zhou Ying covered her mouth and laughed secretly. Their mother didn’t know that Chu Feng had already bought the whole shop, so from then on, they could drink whatever they pleased.
The family chatted as they waited. But after waiting for a whole two hours, the woman had not appeared.
“Mom, what is it with this woman? She’s already two hours late,” Zhou Ying said with an unsatisfied tone as she glanced at her wrist watch. “It’s one thing to choose such an expensive place to meet, but now she’s late too? Clearly, she takes us for suckers. She’s trying to play us.”
Liu Minglan flashed an embarrassed smile. “When girls leave the house, they must take their time to put on makeup. Let’s wait. Just wait a little while.”
“Mom, I’ll listen to you.” Chu Feng smiled. He wasn’t defending the girl with whom he had a blind date; he simply didn’t want to cause her mother to be sad by disappointing her wishes.
