Chapter 98
Linglong Manor is a very famous private restaurant in Zhijiang City. It has elegant environment and exquisite dishes. The chef is said to have won several awards and is proficient in Chinese and Western food. Of course, in an international consumer tourist city like Zhijiang City, the price of this restaurant is also first-class, commonly known as a "pig-killing" restaurant. Anyway, when you come here to eat, don't think about how much your wallet shrinks, it will definitely reduce your appetite a lot.
Fortunately, Li Hai is a nouveau riche recently. After the summer vacation, he made continuous investments. Now the bank deposits have exceeded 10 million. He has begun to think about investment and financial management very seriously. Such a meal is still affordable. However, Zhao Shirong is a little worried about his choice of treating guests, and he is a little reluctant when ordering.
Li Hai waited for her to order, took the order, added a few more signature dishes, and then added a bottle of Australian white wine. He waved his hand to ask the waiter to serve the dishes. Then he looked around and found that the green shade and invisible doors were all in sight. Although it was not a private room, it was better than a private room. He couldn't help but exclaim: "The environment here is really good. Senior sister, let's come here next time."
Zhao Shirong glared at him: "You are a nouveau riche, a rustic guy! This place is just a false fire, but it is not necessarily worth the price. Aren't you wasting money?"
Li Hai blinked and laughed: "Senior sister, I heard that when a date, women help men save money, which means that this relationship is unusual and has entered a new stage! Isn't it?"
Zhao Shirong's face turned red and turned his head to ignore him. Li Hai didn't care much about himself and looked at him with a smile, but as he looked, he found that the smile on Zhao Shirong's face gradually faded, and the blush faded, but it turned a little white.
Li Hai felt a little bad, and was about to find a topic to change, Zhao Shirong lowered her head, seemed to have made up some determination, and whispered: "Li Hai, I have told you about my affairs last time-"
Sure enough! Li Hai pursed his lips and looked at Zhao Shirong who was bowing his head in front of him. His long eyelashes covered his eyes. He didn't know what her attitude was. But after this afternoon, Li Hai's originally wavering thoughts became firmer again. He coughed gently and said calmly: "Senior sister, I remember it very clearly, but I also remember that I didn't seem to agree, give up on you, right?"
Zhao Shirong raised his head and looked at Li Hai, his eyes were extremely complicated and he struggled! Li Hai's heart trembled when he saw that confused expression, and he almost wanted to reach out to hug Zhao Shirong, just like that night! He slowly stretched out his hand and reached out to the hand that Zhao Shirong placed on the table.
Zhao Shirong trembled slightly, and her hand wanted to move away several times, but after a gentle movement, she never really moved away. When Li Hai grabbed her hand, she felt that she was trembling violently, so she stared into the eyes of the beautiful senior sister and said slowly and firmly: "Senior sister, I like you. No matter what problem you have is difficult to solve, as long as you don't dislike me, I will not give up. Even if your fiancé who has never met before appears a year later, as long as you haven't married her for a day, I will fight for it. If I give up like this now, I am afraid that I will regret it when I think about it in the future!"
The two of them had never been so honest. Zhao Shirong was like a frightened deer, and her body trembled violently. If Li Hai hadn't held her hand hard, he would even doubt Zhao Shirong would jump up all of a sudden and then ran away!
After struggling for a long time, Zhao Shirong looked at Li Hai with an almost begging look and whispered: "Li Hai, don't force me like this, okay? Give me some space-"
"Not good!" Li Hai refused without thinking and rejected: "I didn't force you. I just told you my attitude and didn't ask you what to do! Senior sister, I can understand your problem, and I know it's not that easy to solve. However, I have figured it out. No matter what difficult problem it is, I just need you to know that I am here, waiting for you, and like you, that's it."
While listening, Zhao Shirong's eyes kept changing, but her body trembling gradually eased. Until the end, she suddenly held Li Hai's hand and covered her face. After a long time, she put down Li Hai's hand, but her expression had basically returned to calm: "I'll go to the bathroom."
Li Hai nodded, then looked at his hands, and there was some wetness on his hands, as if they were tears? He licked it, it was indeed salty. However, Zhao Shirong's tears were much less than he thought. If it were Wang Yun, he would probably have cried so hard that half of his body could wet - hey, this comparison doesn't seem to be great, right?
Li Hai thought about it and never said that he had never treated Wang Yun like this. He naturally expressed his feelings in his heart. It seemed that when facing Wang Yun, he just couldn't bear it and just lived a life of it, that's all. So, he didn't say anything he couldn't help it. After thinking about it, he became calm again.
By the time Zhao Shirong came back, she had completely returned to normal and even had a natural smile: "Okay, let's stop talking about these. Haven't the food served yet?"
The dishes served very quickly and were delicious. While the two of them were eating, they whispered. Zhao Shirong also drank a glass of wine, her face was a little red, and she looked particularly charming under the candlelight. Li Hai felt peaceful in his heart and didn't even want to ask her what she was planning.
When paying the bill, Li Hai looked at the menu and it hurt a little. Two people could eat more than 4,000 yuan in one meal! But it would be fine if you had mental preparation in advance, but Zhao Shirong nagged about it a few more words and said, "Don't come here again next time, there are so many places to eat, right?"
Li Hai was stunned at first, then reacted and was overjoyed, that is, there is a next time? As long as he has this attitude, he really doesn't mind. Anyway, Zhao Shirong's mysterious fiancé has not appeared yet. Now is the time for him to erode and consolidate his position. Let's leave it for a year!
For the first time, Zhao Shirong also allowed Li Hai to send her home. Before that, Li Hai either sent her back to the school dormitory or got off the bus halfway. He had never been to the place where Zhao Shirong's family was.
As the taxi drove, Li Hai discovered that Zhao Shirong's family was not far from his home. However, it was adjacent to a nationally renowned wetland park. It was once famous for a movie. Of course, the housing prices here also rose. It seems that Zhao Shirong's family is really rich or noble. You should know that when he looked around, this area was actually single-family villas and terrace houses, and any house was worth at least tens of millions.
When getting off the bus, Zhao Shirong seemed to have a difficult decision, and then invited Li Hai: "Do you want to come in and sit? It's okay, I'm living here alone now, and my dad lives elsewhere."
Well, your family is really a rich man, there is more than one such house! But Li Hai didn't care much about it. If he hadn't even had the courage to pursue Zhao Shirong head-on (Author: Three months ago, you had a girlfriend, did you forget it). But now, you earned nearly 10 million in more than half a month. Li Hai is full of confidence. If you can get a loan for this house, it would not be a problem to buy one immediately, and it means there is no pressure!
Zhao Shirong's home is a single-family villa. It looks big outside. When you go in, you will see that it is even bigger. It is also a door opened by an aunt. Zhao Shirong's name to her should be the housekeeper who cleans and cooks at home. The aunt is obviously a little curious about Li Hai, but she didn't say much. She just brought out a plate of fruit, and then hid in the servant's room and stopped coming out.
Li Hai sat in the hall and looked around and found that although the house was large and luxuriously decorated, it was relatively simple to decorate, making it look not so strong.
Zhao Shirong went in and changed her clothes, seemed to wash her face, and when she came out, she seemed much more relaxed. She smiled at Li Hai, "Don't be restrained, eat fruits. I actually haven't lived in this house for a long time. I usually live in school, so I didn't have much decoration. I just came back to sleep now on holiday."
When Li Hai saw a housekeeper at home, he had no other intentions. He picked up a piece of watermelon and ate it. He was about to discuss the decoration of the house when he suddenly heard a car coming from outside and stopped at the door of the villa.
He looked at Zhao Shirong in surprise. Didn’t he say she lives here alone? Of course, Zhao Shirong’s hearing was not comparable to him. He didn’t react until the car stopped at the door. He suddenly showed a panic on his face. He jumped up from the sofa, pulled Li Hai up, and said repeatedly: “Hurry, you go out from here, it’s the back door, and it’s a garden when you go out. You hide there first. Remember to Guan Jingyin on your phone. I don’t tell you not to speak--”
Li Hai was very surprised. Why did this make me look like Ximen Qing? Is Wuhan University back? No, look at this attitude, it's almost the same when Wu Song is back. Otherwise, why would Pan Jinlian be so panicked? He was unhappy and was not a time to worry about it. Zhao Shirong pulled him from the back door to the garden. There was a stone table and a few wooden stools here. He sat on the stool, pricking his ears to listen to the movements in front of him.
As soon as Zhao Shirong went out, people outside came in. Zhao Shirong cried out in surprise: "Dad, why are you here today!"
Li Hai refused to listen. It turned out that it was not Wuhan University or Wu Er, but his future father-in-law! No wonder Zhao Shirong was panicked. The baby dear on her must have something to do with this future father-in-law. He obviously had no preparation for this father-in-law. It was indeed a bit unlucky to appear like this suddenly.
He thought for a while and didn't wait for Zhao Shirong to speak. There was no courtyard wall in the back garden, but it was surrounded by a bushes of less than one meter high. With his skills, Dake jumped past. He took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Zhao Shirong, "I'm leaving, you can deal with your dad!" Then he walked quietly to the bushes. Just as he was about to jump up, suddenly an alarm bell in the villa was shot out, and a red light shot out from under his feet, frightening Li Hai: the security system in this place is so sensitive!
He was a little hesitant about whether to run away, because he was obviously exposed. I don’t know what the sequelae would be if he ran away like this? The people in the villa had already rushed out. In the light, a tall figure raised his hand to Li Hai and shouted: “He Fangzi!”
