"Low proof so it’s drinkable?" the man countered.
At this, the people sitting at the same table as Liu Yuan didn’t dare to speak casually anymore.
The three of them looked at each other, all a bit baffled.
Lu Jing didn’t really want to answer, but the man was pressing hard, and so many people were watching, so he sighed silently:
"I didn’t drink much, just half a glass, and after that, I stopped drinking. Isn’t that okay?"
He didn’t say the last sentence out loud.
But it didn’t stop the man from seeing the plea.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the man downed the half glass of wine, and at the same time, summoned the waiter:
"Keep an eye on her, if she dares to drink even a sip, starting from tomorrow, we will come to inspect your establishment every day!"
Is it common to threaten people so overtly and under scrutiny?
The waiter nodded frantically:
"Bro, I guarantee I’ll keep an eye on this lady."
If the fire department comes every day, how can we still run a business?
When weighing the importance, it’s clear what matters more.
Lu Jing was dumbfounded.
Then, she just watched as the instigator walked away with his people, all swanky and suave.
It was only then that Liu Yuan and the others swallowed hard:
"Lu Lu, what’s with you and Instructor Jiang?"
"Hmph, definitely not cousins."
"It’s obvious there’s something!"
It’s clear as day, only a fool wouldn’t see it.
But Lu Jing couldn’t resist the persistent questioning of the three and gave an honest explanation.
"So, you really were a couple?"
"Lu Lu, that’s so sneaky of you, deceiving others is one thing, but even us? Are we not good sisters anymore?"
Lu Jing’s mouth twitched, and she slowly explained:
"I didn’t mislead you, guys. I started dating him in my sophomore year."
There was nothing in my freshman year.
"But later, we broke up."
This revelation shocked the three into exchanging looks.
But the way things were just now, it didn’t seem like the behavior expected after a breakup, did it?
Liu Yuan coughed twice:
"So what’s your relationship now? Back together?"
"It’s like that, maybe not, I’m not sure."
Thankfully, Liu Yuan and the others didn’t continue to press the issue.
"Alright, alright, let’s just eat."
Some things are better left unasked, it’s curiosity for you, but it could be a repeated hurt for those involved.
However, that meal was a bit hard to digest.
Because, likely hearing the report from the waiter, the boss actually sent two people over to watch.
Yes, just to watch Lu Jing.
So much so that, after paying the bill and leaving, Liu Yuan and the others couldn’t stop laughing.
"Instructor Jiang, pretty impressive!"
"Hats off!" The source of thɪs content is novel⟡fire.net
"Lu Lu, it looks like you’ll never escape Instructor Jiang’s clutches in this lifetime."
See, it’s something you can tell just from a meal.
Lu Jing’s face twitched, not wanting to admit it, but having to acknowledge that it seemed to be true.
"Well, I’ll head back first, let’s meet up another time."
"Sure, sure, I have to go back to work overtime at the company."
"Next time, let’s meet up."
The four had already set up a group chat again, convenient for staying in touch.
So, the four people went their separate ways in four different directions.
Carrying a few bags of clothes she bought, Lu Jing returned home and almost thought she had been robbed.
The whole house was emptier than empty.
What had been a warm and full home in the morning had suddenly turned into a Syrian-style dwelling.
Of course, Lu Jing had no idea that the water and electricity supplies in several bathrooms had been specially altered, with no hot water, only cold.
