Chapter 871: Confrontation at the Dining Table
An hour later, the four of them were sitting at the dining table.
Shen Li and Shen Zhijin sat on one side, while Lu Huaiyu and Gu Tinglan sat opposite them.
There were six dishes and a soup on the table. It was a very sumptuous spread.
However, the atmosphere seemed a little delicate.
Shen Li really had not expected that the first dinner she had here would be like this.
Gu Tinglan had informed her before coming to Bai City, and Shen Zhijin obviously had not known about it either.
In the end, he had just come to visit her.
Of course, he had the right to do so.
However, Lu Huaiyu had come along with him…
Shen Li remembered that when she had left the hotel that afternoon, this man had told her to miss him. However, after only a few hours, they were meeting again.
And it was at her home in Bai City.
Shen Li felt that she had been concerned for nothing.
How could she really have thought that this man would just sit there and wait for his death?
Shen Li picked up a small bone china bowl and prepared to fill it with soup. However, just as she raised her hand, the three men sitting at the table extended their hands at the same time to take her bowl.
Everyone froze.
The three men looked at each other for a moment, and the air seemed to freeze.
After a moment, Lu Huaiyu was the first to tactfully withdraw.
Then, it was Gu Tinglan.
Shen Zhijin took Shen Li’s small bowl and filled it with soup for her.
Amidst this suffocating atmosphere, Shen Li received the bowl and softly said,”Thank you, Dad.”
Gu Tinglan did not mind the situation much and said, “Ah Li seems to like pumpkin soup very much.”
Shen Li nodded.
The corner of Lu Huaiyu’s lips curled up into a faint smile as he said sincerely, “Teacher Shen’s pumpkin soup is the best. It’s no wonder Ah Li likes it.”
Gu Tinglan was stunned into silence.
‘Useless man!
‘In order to curry favor with your father-in-law, you sold your friend out just like that!’
This compliment had been so natural and smooth. How would it reflect on him instead?
He turned his head to look at Lu Huaiyu and smiled as if he was bathed in the spring breeze.
“Lu Er, your bowl is still empty. How is it that you can taste that it is the best just like that?”
Lu Huaiyu’s smile did not change. Instead, he nodded his head calmly and elegantly.
“I was lucky enough to eat it once in Tianye City.”
Gu Tinglan was speechless.
It had been a miscalculation.
It was obvious that this man had planned to come here all along!
Shen Li did not want to get involved in this matter, so she kept her head down as she drank the soup.
However, when she heard this, she finally could not restrain herself anymore. She raised her leg and kicked Lu Huaiyu under the table.
Lu Huaiyu raised his eyebrows slightly and his gaze fell on her face with a faint smile on his face.
