She doesn't want to pretend anymore

The beautiful boss' eyes lit up when she heard the words "Mr. Xi".

Obviously, sending Manshu and the others away was not the purpose, but meeting Mr. Xi was.

"I'm the boss here, Weng Lingyu, are you Mr. Xi's friends?"

Weng Lingyu rarely lowered her status to talk to guests, and was usually flattered by the guests.

Because her ancestors were imperial chefs, Weng Lingyu's cooking skills are also very good. Now the chef here is her senior brother, who runs this private restaurant. Weng Lingyu's worth has greatly increased.

At the same time, more and more wealthy businessmen and young masters began to admire her.

Weng Lingyu herself disliked the greasy rich businessmen and the flirtatious rich young men. The only one who caught her eye was Mr. Xi from the imperial capital.

The first time Mr. Xi came to eat at her place, it made people's hearts beat faster.

She had never seen a man so attractive.

And what exactly did Mr. Xi mean to her?

She was invited to be a companion several times to attend some occasions where a companion was needed.

Occasionally he would give her some small gifts, but other than that, the two of them didn't go any further.

Now seeing two young girls so tender that water could be squeezed out of them, Weng Lingyu couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis.

"Or, are you Mr. Xi's sisters?"

From the mainland, maybe his cousin or something like that?

She had never heard that Mr. Xi had a girlfriend, and he was well-known in the circle for being chaste.

She once heard that someone gave a woman to Mr. Xi, and not only was he kicked out, but the next day something happened to the person who gave the gift.

Mr. Xi's integrity was exactly what she liked.

Today, just because she heard that Mr. Xi was coming, she dressed up carefully and played the guzheng in the pavilion to liven up the atmosphere.

"We don't know the Mr. Xi you mentioned. There should be someone else in the box besides him, right?"

Manshu seemed not to notice the speculative look in the boss's eyes and asked with a smile.

"Are you friends of another handsome guy?" Weng Lingyu was delighted to get the answer she wanted. "I heard Mr. Xi call him Ah Jiu."

"It should be." Manshu guessed that the person who could call Ninth Brother Ajiu must have a special relationship with him.

It is said that good-looking people only make friends with good-looking people. Given Brother Jiu’s appearance, one can imagine what Mr. Xi is like.

No wonder the boss lady can't forget it.

Just when Qu Jiu was getting impatient, Weng Lingyu and Manshu knocked on the door of box number nine.

"Mr. Xi, the two little guests have arrived."

When Weng Lingyu saw Xi Er, she hardly took her eyes off him.

Qu Jiu just raised his eyebrows and waved at Manshu.

"Come and sit down, why are you so slow?"

Qu Jiu ignored the proprietress.

Xi Er just said to her politely: "Thank you, you can go out first."

Not a single extra word was said.

Weng Lingyu glanced at Xi Er, then looked at his guest.

"Mr. Xi, we are old friends after all. Why don't you introduce some of your guests to Lingyu?"

"This gentleman should not be from Gangcheng. Lingyu has never seen a man as handsome as this gentleman in Gangcheng."

It was not known whether Weng Lingyu was angry or what, but she actually took the initiative to step forward and wanted to get to know Qu Jiu.

Is Qu Jiu the kind of person who would give someone face just for the sake of other people's face?

He glanced at Weng Lingyu and said, "Is this the private restaurant you mentioned with excellent food, a nice environment, and good privacy?"

Obviously, this was because he was disgusted with the boss, Weng Lingyu, for staying and getting involved.
