Sitting in the upstairs private room, Tao Yu looked around curiously: “The environment here is so nice. Why aren’t there many guests?”
“This is a membership-based restaurant with certain filtering of guests, so it’s quieter than other places,” Yue Linze explained patiently while having the server hand her the menu.
Tao Yu found this even more curious, thinking this type of restaurant was interesting – clearly turning away business. The owner must either have too much money to burn or be brainless.
Yue Linze saw through her thoughts and said casually: “This is Zhou Ying’s place.”
“Zhou Ying?” Tao Yu looked at Yue Linze in surprise. Just as Yue Linze was preparing for her to express her dislike of Zhou Ying, she frowned and said, “Mr. Yue, forgive me for being blunt, but Zhou Ying is not a good person. He has harmed you so many times before. You shouldn’t continue to associate with him like this.”
Hearing her concern, Yue Linze didn’t feel she was being intrusive. Instead, his mood improved: “Is that so? But apart from him, I don’t have any other friends.”
“You’re so capable, you’ll definitely be able to find new friends. Why hang onto the same tree?” Tao Yu spoke with sincere concern.
Yue Linze looked into her eyes, unusually serious: “From the moment I was born as the only heir of the Yue family, it was already destined that I would find it difficult to have true friends.”
If not for Zhou Ying’s natural lack of boundaries, persistently sticking to him without asking for anything in return, he wouldn’t even have this one friend. This was also why, no matter how brainless Zhou Ying was, he had never truly disliked him.
Tao Yuting heard his words and was stunned for a moment. By the time she understood what he meant, he had already left. She blushed and muttered softly, “Looks uneducated, but he’s got a whole set of twisted logic.”
Yue Linze had been waiting outside for a long time. Tao Yu finally came out of the restaurant with a stern face, looking like she had adjusted her mood. He slightly curved his lips and only asked after she got in the car, “Do you have a shopping mall you want to go to?”
