The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

Faced with the straightforward Xu Yiyu, Baili Ye, who was usually eloquent, still hadn't figured out how to give her an answer until the moment the elevator arrived at the restaurant.

Fortunately, Xu Yiyu did not expect to get an answer so quickly, so he did not insist on it. He just followed Qi Mo's jokes and changed the topic to other aspects.

Baili Ye felt relieved in his heart, but at the same time he also felt a little inexplicably lost.

Before coming to Lucheng, he thought that he had the Gemera, the car that the other party wanted, and he could use this to make a deal with Xu Yiyu. However, he did not expect that the other party did not show any indispensability for this car. Instead, he was fascinated by the other party's Siberian lizard.

When Xu Yiyu, wearing a sky-blue waist-length dress, walked into the restaurant on the 26th floor of Welling with Lu Sanshi, they were originally planning to follow the staff's instructions to go to the private room that Qi Mo had booked, but they noticed a familiar face appearing at a double seat near the window.

Gu Qiu was wearing an outfit that couldn't be more casual. He was talking quietly to a woman with medium-long curly hair sitting opposite him. His sitting posture was not very straight, and he even looked lazy and careless, which outsiders could see.

The woman opposite him with medium-long curly hair had plain makeup on her face. Unlike the lazy Gu Qiu, her upper body was leaning forward at a large angle. Her eyes clearly revealed her enthusiasm for what Gu Qiu said, and her gaze kept looking up and down at the handsome and unruly Gu Qiu.

No matter how Xu Yiyu looked at this scene, he felt that it was like...

Blind date?

Seeing Xu Yiyu stopped, Lu Sanshi followed her gaze and looked in that direction. As soon as he saw Gu Qiu's face, he understood why Xu Yiyu didn't move forward.

"Gu Qing's brother?"

Lu Sanshi asked softly.

"Yes, I didn't expect to meet him here. I'll come out and say hello to him later."

Qi Mo, who had excellent eyesight, naturally noticed that Xu Yiyu's gaze had changed direction. Baili Ye, on the other hand, had not paid much attention and just followed the staff's instructions and walked forward, becoming the first person to enter the box.

"Gu Qiu? Why is he here now?"

Since Gu Qing and Liu Yunhua were familiar with each other, and Qi Mo was Liu Yunhua's cousin, he had met Gu Qing's younger brother several times.

The younger brother of the Gu family rarely appears in social occasions, and Qi Mo is just familiar with him, but they don't have a deep friendship.

"Sister Yi Yu, I'll take you and your brother-in-law to the box to put your things away. I'll have to come out and say hello to my acquaintances later."

Although Qi Mo knew that Xu Yiyu and Liu Yunhua were good friends with Gu Qing, he didn't know much about her relationship with Gu Qiu. He changed his mind and asked Xu Yiyu about it.

"The acquaintance you're talking about is Gu Qiu? That's great, I'll come and say hello to him later."

Xu Yiyu didn't think much about it. He just felt that since Qi Mo was Xiao Yunduo's cousin, it was not surprising that he was familiar with Gu Qiu. After all, Xiao Yunduo and Gu Qing had such a good relationship, maybe Qi Mo and Gu Qiu had a good relationship as well.

The three of them walked into the box while talking, and saw Baili Ye holding a menu and ordering food. There was a waitress standing next to him, writing furiously on the list.

"Miss Xu, I don't know what you and Mr. Lu like to eat, so I took the initiative to order a few special dishes of this hotel. You can try how they taste."

When Baili Ye handed the menu back to the waiter, Xu Yiyu and Lu Sanshi had already sat down. Seeing this, he didn't say anything polite and acted like a host to entertain the two of them.

"Mr. Baili, you don't have to be polite. You have come to Lucheng with great difficulty, so I should treat you to a meal. I am not very good at ordering dishes, so just order according to your tastes."

Xu Yiyu said you're welcome, but Baili Ye sensed some subtle meaning in her words.

It seems that although Miss Xu was not angry about his and Qi Mo's sudden visit, she still maintained a certain distance towards Baili Ye, whom she met for the first time.

It was just because he had Gerema as a bargaining chip, out of courtesy, she still treated him with due respect and politeness.

Having been in the social scene for so many years, how could Baili Ye not know that Xu Yiyu was quietly reminding him that Lucheng was her home ground.

"Since Miss Xu said so, I'll be really casual."

Seeing that Qi Mo beside him did not support either side, Baili Ye smiled brightly and said this politely.

Next, he pretended to casually place Gerema's key next to his hand, without even looking at the key.

Although he didn't bring a car, he still didn't want to be at a disadvantage. He and Qi Mo came to Lucheng with some selfish motives. Baili Ye didn't want to admit defeat before the other party made a move.

But unfortunately, Xu Yiyu was not a celebrity in any of the circles he had known before, and she could not be speculated about by common sense.

"Mr. Baili, I'm not good at beating around the bush. Since you came with the car keys, it means you've already thought about how to quote the price. So why don't we be straightforward and put your conditions on the table to see if we can reach an agreement."

Xu Yiyu's graceful and elegant move caught Baili Ye somewhat off guard. He looked at Qi Mo beside him in a daze, but saw that Qi Mo just shrugged slightly at him and still had no intention of helping him.

Is this Miss Xu's way? He has never seen a social occasion where serious business is discussed before the meal.

He originally thought that he would be treated the same as his friends, but he never expected that what he thought was just what he thought.

"Ms. Xu, to be honest, although I don't like the kind of back-and-forth wine table rhetoric, I've never seen someone like you get straight to the point before dinner."

Baili Ye calmed himself down and spoke again following Xu Yiyu's words.

Didn't she say that she wanted to put the conditions on the table? Then he would follow her words and see how she would deal with it.

"I'm sorry, I'm driving today, so I don't plan to turn this table into a drinking table. If Mr. Baili wants to have a few drinks, I think Qi Mo will accompany him."

Qi Mo, who was called out again, smiled bitterly in his heart, but continued to respond to Xu Yiyu's words.

"Baili, what do you want to drink? I'll ask the waiter to open a bottle. Don't embarrass Sister Yiyu."

Xu Yiyu didn't mention letting Lu Sanshi drink, so Qi Mo naturally wouldn't mention it either. As a result, Baili Ye felt as if he was being unreasonable.

Recalling Qi Heitu's previous behavior of winking at him, Baili Ye finally realized how childish his seemingly calm provocation was.

"No need, no need. I don't like drinking. Just drink tea. Drink tea."

I originally wanted to earn some face for myself, but I didn't expect that I didn't get my money back and no one helped me.

When you are on someone else's territory, you really have to behave yourself.
