Chapter 307
On the other side, while Lin Mengyao was in confrontation with those two people in the interrogation room, she heard the opportunity to leave.
So, when Xu Ke left the interrogation room and came into the hallway, Lin Mengyao’s eyes suddenly lit up at first sight, and the next moment she, who originally stood at the corner of the stairs, ran towards Xu Ke like a whirlwind, leaping into Xu Ke’s arms, burying her face directly into his neck.
Xu Ke sensitively noticed Lin Mengyao’s unusual emotional fluctuation and quickly asked: “What’s wrong, did they bully you?” Xu Ke reached out his hand to rub Lin Mengyao’s neck, his gaze and tone suddenly turning cold when he mentioned the word bully, as if trying to freeze the place or something.
Thinking of what she had done in the interrogation room, feeling that she wasn’t wronged, Lin Mengyao mumbled: “Didn’t suffer a loss, just felt uneasy without you by my side, really wanted to see you.” Lin Mengyao’s tone had a hint of grievance, ringing softly in Xu Ke’s ear, like a small hook nearly pulling away Xu Ke’s soul.
Xu Ke whispered softly to Lin Mengyao, while standing behind Xu Ke, the young man who wanted to say something to him opened and closed his mouth several times, never finding a proper opportunity to speak, and instead stood there like a huge light bulb, big and bright, feeling awkward not knowing what to say.
When the young man opened his mouth for the tenth time, Lin Mengyao, having calmed down, finally noticed the young man who had existed all along and had tried multiple times to join the conversation.
Lin Mengyao reached out to push Xu Ke, signaling with her eyes for Xu Ke to look behind him, then whispered: “That person seems to have something to say to you.”
With Lin Mengyao’s reminder, Xu Ke remembered there was such a person, but there was not a trace of embarrassment on Xu Ke’s face, instead showing more composure and ease.
“You haven’t left, what do you want to say to me?” Xu Ke asked.
The young man, finally having a chance to speak, first discreetly moved his legs that had become stiff from standing, then smiled and said: “As for today’s matter, I’ve handled it, just not sure if you are satisfied with the result?”
“Not bad, rest assured I won’t say anything about you to your boss, you’ve been out long enough, better head back.” Xu Ke knew what the other was worried about, but what he was concerned about Xu Ke didn’t care, in fact, Xu Ke hadn’t taken his words to heart at all.
As if a mighty eagle in the sky, would it care about what the ants on the ground say?
The young man didn’t know Xu Ke likened him to this, he only knew the other wouldn’t cause trouble for him in front of his boss, which was enough.
Politely saying goodbye to Xu Ke, the young man drove away in the car he came in.
When Xu Ke and Lin Mengyao left the police station, Sheng Wenhao had just stubbed out his third cigarette.
“Why were you in there for so long, if it took any longer I’d have fallen asleep here.” Sheng Wenhao glanced at the watch on his wrist and said.
“A small unexpected incident delayed some time. Why didn’t you come inside to get us, what’re you doing standing outside?” Xu Ke asked.
“I don’t like the atmosphere of police stations, just looking at it feels uncomfortable, like a gaping maw that devours everything, one look makes me uneasy for half a day, let alone going inside. It’s getting late, let’s go out.” Sheng Wenhao watching his friend with his beloved wife in his arms safe and sound, his eyes full of worry and anxiety dispersed, turning back into his usual carefree demeanor.
Sheng Wenhao chose the dining place.
A restaurant with a minimalist American-style decor, the entire restaurant designed with black and white colors, at first glance it looks more like a tech museum than a restaurant. Stepping in, Lin Mengyao even thought she came to the wrong place.
“Where did you find such a place, it’s really quite special.” Lin Mengyao chose a spot by the window to sit down, gazing out the window, seeing the neon colors outside and the vehicles as tiny as fingernails.
“I asked the hotel front desk, they told me about this place.” Sheng Wenhao had a cocky expression on his face, making it amusing yet infuriating.
Just when the three of them were about to call the waiter to order, a red square purse was thrown in front of Xu Ke and the others, followed by an unfriendly voice, “We’ve taken a fancy to this spot, you guys move somewhere else.” The voice was somewhat husky and female.
Xu Ke slightly wrinkled his nose, feeling the person’s perfume made his nose itchy, he resisted the discomfort in his nose and looked up at the person.
But this time, before Xu Ke could say anything, Sheng Wenhao spoke first, “Young lady, don’t you know the etiquette of first come first served, this spot we chose first and we’re not giving it up, so sorry, pick somewhere else, take your girlfriends elsewhere, don’t delay our ordering.”
“This is America, what’s a black monkey like you doing speaking here, what’s with this restaurant, how can they let someone like you in? It simply lowers the restaurant’s class, trash like you should be kicked out, dining with you here makes me feel like I’m smelling garbage, it’s utterly disgusting.”
The woman spoke loudly making exaggerated expressions, her three girlfriends behind her coaxingly burst into laughter, causing everyone in the restaurant to look over. Needless to say, Xu Ke and Lin Mengyao, though categorized as yellow people in America, actually both had very fair skin, not to mention their exceptional looks, and the most captivating was their poise, clearly well-mannered people.
Then there was Sheng Wenhao sitting across from them, in comfortable conditions at Xu Family without sun exposure, his previously tanned skin reverted significantly, the bronze complexion paired with his skeletal facial contours and deep nice eyes, along with his charm, looked like it had nothing to do with garbage at all.
Instead, the loud-talking woman and her loudly laughing three friends made those dining frown, looking at them with displeasure in their eyes.
