CIATB Chapter 212 What a coincidence!
Chapter 212 What a coincidence!
Inside the private room for listening to music.
Li Ze and Li Mengli were looking at the menu, preparing to order.
Mengli flipped through the exquisitely detailed pictures of the dishes on the menu, discussing with her father which dish looked the most delicious.
Just then, there was a light knock on the door of the private room from the outside.
Then, the door was pushed open.
It was the same greeter who had been at the door who came in.
The greeter looked at Li Ze, who was seated in the main seat, and said very respectfully:
"Mr. Li, I have something to tell you. Your son is currently at the restaurant entrance. He brought a few friends with him, a total of 10 people. Since all the seats inside and outside are full, we can't find any empty seats. So I was wondering if it would be alright if they could dine with us in this private room?"
Upon hearing the greeter's words, Li Ze immediately stopped flipping through the menu.
He looked up, a look of utter surprise on his face.
"Oh? Meng Han is here too?"
Li Ze smiled and shook his head, then said with great emotion:
"What a coincidence! My son and daughter both came here to eat today without prior arrangement."
He chuckled twice.
Li Mengli, who was sitting next to her, was also very surprised.
She put down the menu in her hand, widened her eyes, and said:
"My goodness, what a coincidence! My brother is here too?"
After a moment of surprise, Mengli immediately nodded:
"But since he's here, let's let him in quickly. Anyway, this private room is a bit empty with just Dad and me sitting here."
Li Ze also looked at the greeter and nodded:
"Yes, go and call them all in."
After hearing the reply, the greeter nodded and said:
"Yes, Mr. Li, I'll go and bring them over right away."
After saying that, the host turned around and quickly walked out of the private room.
Less than a minute later.
The door to the private room was pushed open again.
Li Menghan walked at the front and stepped into the private room.
He looked up and saw two people sitting across the table.
His older sister is Li Mengli.
And his father, Li Ze.
Li Menghan stood at the door, her face showing obvious surprise.
He looked at Li Ze and Meng Li sitting there and said:
"Dad? Sister? What are you doing here?"
Seeing her brother's surprised expression, Mengli rolled her eyes without any politeness.
She retorted with:
"What's wrong? You can eat here, but I can't?"
Meng Han quickly waved her hand and explained:
"Oh, that's not what I meant. I just didn't expect you to be here today. Usually, you're eating at home at this time, aren't you?"
Mengli crossed her arms in front of her chest and raised her head to answer:
"Tch, I just went out for a walk this morning. Then when it got to lunchtime, I realized I was quite far from home, and going back to eat would take too much time, so I just came to Mom's shop."
Upon hearing his sister's explanation, Meng Han revealed a mischievous smile.
He began to speak:
"Hey, I never expected this. My academic genius sister actually goes shopping. It's like the sun rose in the west, so rare!"
Hearing her younger brother tease her like that, Mengli pointed at Menghan and said loudly:
"Alright, kid, stop arguing. Hurry up and invite your friends in to sit down."
"Okay, okay, my dear sister," Meng Han replied with a smile.
Then, Meng Han turned his head and looked at Fan Xi, Wang Jiaqi, and Liu Dazhuang standing behind him.
He waved to them and said:
"Don't stand at the door, come in. Don't be shy, just find a place to sit."
Wang Jiaqi and Liu Dazhuang came in first.
When the two of them saw the middle-aged man in high-end casual wear sitting in the main seat, they immediately realized that this must be Meng Han's father.
Although the two of them had never met Li Ze in person before, judging from the man's demeanor and the quality of his clothes, they knew that this person was definitely not simple.
Wang Jiaqi and Liu Dazhuang were very sensible. They went to Li Ze's side first and sat down on the two chairs next to him.
After they sat down, they greeted Li Ze very politely:
Hello, Uncle.
Li Ze looked at the two young men, smiled, nodded, and replied:
"Hello, are you all Menghan's classmates? Don't be shy, make yourself at home."
After Wang Jiaqi and Liu Dazhuang sat down...
There was only one empty seat left at this round table that could seat six people.
The empty seat was right next to Li Menghan.
At this moment, Fan Xi was still standing at the door of the private room.
She glanced at the seating arrangement on the table.
The father sat in the main seat, and the older sister, Mengli, sat to his left.
Wang Jiaqi and Liu Dazhuang sat to their father's right.
Menghan sat next to her sister.
The only empty chair was right next to Meng Han.
Fan Xi stood there, her face looking somewhat unnatural.
After all, Menghan's father and sister are sitting here now.
If she were to sit down next to Meng Han, wouldn't that be the same as sitting next to someone's son in front of their entire family?
Won't this make Menghan's father and sister overthink things?
Fan Xi hesitated.
She turned her head and looked at Wang Jiaqi sitting next to Li Ze.
She spoke softly:
"Jiaqi, can I switch seats with you? I'll sit where you are..."
When Wang Jiaqi heard that Fan Xi wanted to switch seats with him, he immediately waved his hand and refused.
Wang Jiaqi said loudly:
"No, no! Just sit there, that seat was reserved especially for you!"
Hearing this, Fan Xi felt even more embarrassed.
She stood there, looking left and right, her fingers constantly twirling around the strap of her bag.
"But……"
While Fan Xi was still hesitating there.
Li Ze, who was sitting in the main seat, spoke first.
In fact, the moment Li Ze saw Fan Xi walk in, he already had a general idea of what was going on.
He had already heard the third brother's report this morning when he was at the flower shop.
He knew that this girl had gone to take photos and have dinner with Meng Han yesterday afternoon.
He also saw the information his men had collected about the girl.
Based on this information, it seems that the girl named Fan Xi is intentionally getting close to Meng Han.
Meng Han seems to have developed some different thoughts about her as well.
However, Li Ze felt this was a good thing.
As long as Meng Han can completely forget about Dai Yuqian, that's all that matters.
As for what kind of girl he wants to be with in the future, that's his own freedom.
