Chapter 856: Chapter 856: Rong Yan Meets Li Shengxiao
Zhong Yuye’s gaze couldn’t help but sweep across her face, settling on her eyes that shone like stars, “Champagne or either is fine.”
Upon getting the answer, Rong Yan naturally told the waiter, “Then a bottle of Sprite, a bottle of orange juice, and the orange juice should have pulp in it. Thank you.”
After jotting down the order in his notebook, the waiter asked respectfully, “Alright, is there anything else you require?”
“Anything else?” Rong Yan thought for a moment, propped her chin with her hand, and shook her head, “That’s all for now.”
The waiter silently left.
Before long, the dishes Rong Yan had ordered arrived one after another. Eating a meal naturally involved chatting, and she took the opportunity to ask Zhong Yuye if he would return to the entertainment industry and also learned what had happened last night from Qi Yue…
Aside from Gu Ming feeling a bit restless, everyone else seemed quite happy with the meal.
When they were almost done eating, Rong Yan ordered dessert, chatted for a bit more, and suddenly felt bloated. She pulled back her chair and said to the people in the private room, “Excuse me, I need to use the restroom.”
“I’ll go with you,” Estelle said as she picked up a napkin and prepared to stand.”
Two black lines crossed Rong Yan’s forehead, “No need, it’s just the restroom, not storming a fortress. You guys keep chatting, I’ll be back soon.”
Estelle hesitated for a moment, then sat back down, “Okay, come back quickly.”
Clutching her phone, Rong Yan hurriedly pulled open the door to the private room. After leaving the room, she stopped someone dressed like a waiter and asked, “Excuse me, where is your restroom?”
The waiter she stopped smiled politely and replied respectfully, “Yes, miss, just walk down the corridor, turn left at the end, and you’ll find it.”
“Thank you.” Rong Yan didn’t waste any time and headed in the direction she was instructed.
As one of Capital City’s most expensive venues, Zijin Club was known for its ostentatious luxury, a stark contrast to Lan Club’s understated opulence.
Famous paintings from around the world adorned the walls, and the garden outside the corridor was filled with precious flowers.
Even the carpets on the corridor floor screamed of money.
Though Zijin Club’s decorative style was more overt and showy, it didn’t mean it looked tacky or like nouveau riche excess. Instead, it exuded a taste of magnificence and splendor.
Rong Yan followed the waiter’s directions, passing by several private rooms and vaguely hearing the chatter inside, but she paid no mind and turned the corner to the restroom.
She quickly took care of her needs, let out a sigh of relief, and relaxed as she started washing her hands at the sink.
As she finished washing her hands and pulled out a paper towel to dry them, she suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure in the restroom mirror.
What was he doing here?
Rong Yan’s first thought was that her eyes were deceiving her. She blinked hard and looked again. With distinguished and handsome features you couldn’t find a second of in Capital City, there was no way she was mistaken — that man was definitely Li Shengxiao!
Rong Yan appeared startled.
Hadn’t Gu Ming told her that Li Shengxiao was in an important meeting and couldn’t get away? After her initial surprise, she thought of the only possibility.
Could it be that he had finished his meeting and also came here to dine?
