Chapter 370

When he arrived at the school gate, Li Heng raised his left wrist to check his watch.

5:57

It was 3 minutes away from the agreed 6 o'clock.

Then he looked around, but didn't see Liu Yue's figure at all. He thought to himself, this girl wouldn't have forgotten about this, would she?

"Eh, Li Heng."

Suddenly, his right shoulder was lightly patted from behind, accompanied by a female voice.

Li Heng turned his head in response and found it was Le Yao and Wei Xiaozhu. The one patting his shoulder was the beaming Le Yao.

"Big star, we meet again." Le Yao said.

Li Heng thought for a moment and asked: "This semester, it seems this is our second meeting?"

"Excluding the cycling before school started, isn't it the second time? You busy person are here today and gone tomorrow. You haven't come to several of our dormitory gatherings. Is it because you have the great beauty Xiao Han that you look down on us 107 girls!" When Le Yao said this, she also teased him with a hidden sting.

Li Heng rolled his eyes at her, turned to Wei Xiaozhu, pretended to sigh, and laughed: "Hey, every time I see you, you're wearing new clothes. I feel like you could go participate in Paris Fashion Week; clothes worn on you have more flavor than those models."

"Eh, don't say it, our Xiaozhu had another director find her last month, wanting her to go film a movie, and even promised her the female lead." Le Yao on the side said.

Li Heng was surprised: "Is it that Zhang Yimou again?"

Le Yao replied: "The other party's surname is Tian, it seems to be Director Tian Zhuangzhuang."

Li Heng asked Wei Xiaozhu: "Did you agree to it this time?"

Wei Xiaozhu shook her head: "My ambition isn't there; I have no interest in being an actor or a star."

This answer was within his expectations. If she really wanted to be an actor, she would have gone when Old Mouzi invited her last time, and she wouldn't have had to refuse several times.

Wei Xiaozhu asked: "Where are you going? How come you're alone today?"

Li Heng asked back: "What do you mean by just me alone?"

Wei Xiaozhu smiled: "Usually, besides morning runs, if it's not Xiao Han by your side, it's Mai Sui, and occasionally you eat alone with Zhou Shihe."

This eating alone with Zhou Shihe usually happened when Ye Ning and Mai Sui went to attend Student Union meetings.

Li Heng didn't refute. "You should have heard about Liu Yue going abroad to study, I'm waiting for her."

Could they not have heard? The guys in 325 were all big mouths; they probably had already pulled it out and talked about it eight hundred times.

Wei Xiaozhu asked: "Seeing her off?"

Li Heng said yes.

They were all old acquaintances, so the three just stood casually on the side of the road and chatted for a while. During this, Wei Xiaozhu suddenly asked: "Li Heng, have you found your little aunt yet?"

Li Heng shook his head: "No, I haven't had time."

Wei Xiaozhu hesitated and said: "Do you have a photo of your mother?"

Li Heng was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "Do you have a clue?"

Wei Xiaozhu shook her head. "I don't, but my aunt might have discovered something. Last time you and Xiao Han passed by the small bridge and flowing water, my aunt was resting on the second-floor corridor of the Yan Garden and happened to see you. She said seeing you felt a bit familiar, saying she seemed to have seen someone who looked a bit like you somewhere before."

Li Heng's tone increased a bit: "Really? Where did she see her?"

Wei Xiaozhu nodded. "My aunt said it's been many years, in Lianyungang."

Li Heng's eyes widened. It took a long time for him to come back to his senses. "How about this, please do me a favor, take me to see my aunt another day, I want to ask her personally."

The matter was of great importance, so Wei Xiaozhu didn't refuse. "When you have time, come find me."

"Okay, thank you." Li Heng said thank you, thinking in his heart that he had to make a phone call to Comrade Tian Rune tonight.

"Li Heng, get in the car."

Just then, a Mercedes-Benz 230TE model sped over from afar and stopped in front of the three. Liu Yue in the driver's seat rolled down the window and shouted at him.

In this era, being able to drive such a Mercedes-Benz was more eye-catching than driving a Rolls-Royce in later generations, not to mention that the one driving was Fudan's "Little King" Liu Yue. For a time, the crowd coming and going at the school gate all looked toward this side.

Li Heng said to the two women: "Then I'm leaving first, I'll come find you when I have time."

Wei Xiaozhu said okay.

Watching him get into the passenger seat and watching the Mercedes leave, Le Yao on the side was a bit envious. "Liu Yue is really stylish, so cool!"

Actually, Le Yao and Wei Xiaozhu's family backgrounds were quite good; after all, they were both families that could install landline phones. But to say spending a million to buy such a Mercedes-Benz, that was still quite difficult.

Seeing her best friend not speaking, Le Yao couldn't help but say: "Xiaozhu, did you notice? Li Heng seems to be very popular with beauties, the prettier they are, the better their relationship with him."

Wei Xiaozhu laughed: "Is this the first day you've noticed?"

Le Yao complained: "He seems to only favor big beauties like you, and is disdainful of girls with only a little beauty."

Wei Xiaozhu knew she was speaking up for Dai Qing and reminded her: "Don't forget Senior Ye."

"Alright, Senior Ye is an exception." With Senior Ye's beauty having to go far away, Le Yao had nothing to say.

As they were talking, the two women bumped into Li Guoyi, who had just gotten off the bus. Le Yao immediately caught him and asked: "Where did you go? I couldn't find you all day today."

Li Guoyi shrugged his shoulders. "Went to my uncle's house for dinner. Are you guys going to eat?"

Le Yao said: "Yes, don't go back to school yet, accompany us to eat."

"I'm happy to serve!" Li Guoyi followed the two women to the restaurant.

On the other side, inside the Mercedes.

Seeing the car leave the Fudan University area, Li Heng couldn't help but ask: "Isn't it dinner? Where are you taking me?"

Liu Yue said: "To my house."

Li Heng: "."

Seeing him choked up, Liu Yue asked with a smile: "What, afraid to see my parents?"

Li Heng answered the question with another: "Find a restaurant in front, I'm a bit hungry."

Liu Yue pouted: "Boring! Can't take a joke. Don't worry, you aren't my object, why would I take you to see my parents? Wait a bit more, I'll take you to a restaurant that will satisfy you."

Li Heng didn't take it to heart. It wasn't until the car left Yang Pu and entered the Hongkou area that he asked: "How much further?"

"Almost there, it's right in front." Liu Yue said it was almost there, but the car turned three times and turned four times before stopping.

"Fuchun Xiaoyuan?"

As the car stopped, Li Heng got out and looked up at the restaurant plaque.

Liu Yue bypassed the car to his side and also looked up: "How is it? These characters are beautiful, right?"

"It's okay." The characters were indeed good, flying dragons and dancing phoenixes; someone without skill couldn't write at this level, Li Heng evaluated objectively.

Liu Yue said: "This was written by my grandfather."

Li Heng's heart moved, and he turned his head to ask: "You aren't taking me to see your grandfather, are you?"

Liu Yue showed a playful expression on her face: "What? Have you heard that my grandfather wanted to see you?"

Li Heng immediately wanted to retreat. "Let's change to another restaurant."

Liu Yue reached out to hold his arm, beaming with joy: "It's too late to change now, I've already arranged the private room and the dishes."

Li Heng calmly pulled out his right hand and moved a step to the side.

Liu Yue followed and held his arm again, helping him dispel his worries: "My grandfather is currently in Jingcheng for a meeting. If you pay attention to current events, you should know, how could he have time to see you now?"

Li Heng said: "I've been busy writing lately and haven't read the reports much."

Liu Yue smiled: "I believe this. Recently, many people with red-eye disease have appeared in the newspapers, criticizing you non-stop. If I were you, I wouldn't read the newspapers either, so as not to affect my Dao heart."

Li Heng pulled out his right hand again. Thinking for a moment, he followed her into Fuchun Xiaoyuan.

Fuchun Xiaoyuan was a three-story Chinese-style building with red pillars and green tiles, flying eaves and hanging corners, antique and elegant, and the interior was very prestigious.

He looked around and asked: "Who named this restaurant?"

Liu Yue asked: "You tell me first, how is the layout inside?"

"Simple, has charm, low-key luxury." Li Heng evaluated.

Liu Yue gave a thumbs up: "Not bad. I've heard so many evaluations, yours is the most objective. Let me sell a mystery first; I'll tell you later."

Saying this, the two entered a private room on the second floor one after another.

Walking all the way, Li Heng discovered that the waitresses here were all long-legged and all had a bit of beauty. It was estimated that choosing these waitresses must have taken a lot of effort.

Entering the private room, Liu Yue took the menu from the waitress and gave it to him. "Take a look, what do you want to eat."

Li Heng asked: "Didn't you say you ordered dishes?"

Liu Yue said: "I did order, but it doesn't hinder you from looking. Whichever one you like, order it; I have enough money today, eat whatever you want."

Li Heng roughly went through the menu and finally only ordered smoked fish.

Liu Yue asked: "Don't order one more? Or do you not like these dishes?"

Li Heng said: "Smoked fish goes well with rice, I have enough."

Hearing this, Liu Yue looked at him suspiciously for a while, then handed the menu to the waitress. "Serve 10 of the most characteristic dishes in your store, combine meat and vegetables, and bring another bottle of Latour."

The waitress went out and thoughtfully closed the private room door.

Li Heng was so angry he wanted to vomit blood: "This is what you call ordering dishes? This restaurant has Latour?"

Liu Yue sat on his right side: "Yes. Don't look at the restaurant's exterior as not particularly eye-catching, but the price you just saw, an ordinary family's salary can't eat a few meals here."

Li Heng asked: "So expensive, how is the business usually?"

"This is Shanghai, the economic center of the country. There are more rich people than you think. The lobby on the first floor is almost full every day, and you have to book a private room on the second floor a week in advance." Liu Yue introduced.

Recalling the scene he saw downstairs just now, four words appeared in Li Heng's mind: Making money every day.

PS: Not feeling well today.
