After rebirth, my wife just wants to be a widow

Shen Ruoyan, who was standing at the door, took a deep breath, tried hard to control the expression on her face, gritted her teeth and looked at Lu Yan, who was sitting on the seat.

Seeing the confrontation between the two, the person who invited them over really wanted to slap himself a few times.

He had also heard rumors about the conflict between Mr. Lu and his cousin, and wanted to take this opportunity for the two of them to shake hands and make peace at the dinner table, so he forced Shen Ruoyan to come over just now.

I never thought about it, but I did bad things with good intentions.

Lu Yan spoke, and no one here dared to refute.

Shen Ruoyan looked at him for a while, then finally looked away, feeling that the effect had been achieved, and was about to leave.

At this time, the waiter walked over with two chairs on the left and right, huffing and puffing.

"Come on, girl, be careful. I've brought the chairs over for you. This table was originally designed to seat 12 people. I saw that you only had ten people here, so I specially removed two chairs so that everyone could sit. Be more spacious.

You see, this person’s calculation is not as good as God’s calculation. You booked this table for 12 people, and it turned out that there were 12 people.

This is called destiny, everything is destined!

Come, sir, please get up, and I will rearrange the chairs for you. "

The awkward atmosphere was diluted a lot by the waiter's casual talk.

The waiter didn't notice the strange atmosphere in the private room, and quickly rearranged the seats, "Okay, can't we sit down now? Have you all ordered your dishes? There are so many people today, so I really didn't greet you well. I will first serve you a few plates of free snacks to satisfy your hunger, and while you are eating and chatting, just call me if you need anything."

Looking at the back of the waiter who had retired with great success, everyone was almost moved to tears, thinking that they would seal him a big silver reward later.

Amidst everyone's deliberately warm greetings, Shen Ruoyan had to sit down with Tang Xiuyuan, but she just chose the seat farthest away from Lu Yan.

At the dinner table, everyone was very aware of the current situation and did not continue to persuade them to make peace. They chatted with each other.

Tang Manman sat next to Lu Yan, unable to hide her inner pride, acting like a hostess. Sometimes she warmly asked everyone to eat more, and sometimes she took the initiative to start a conversation, but the content of the conversation was something Shen Ruoyan was not good at. topic of.

Tang Xiuyuan sat aside silently.

No matter how stupid he was, he could still see that Mr. Lu had made his sister unhappy just now. He couldn't figure out why the two of them were quarreling. Tang Xiuyuan had no choice but to turn the sadness in his heart into appetite and pluck the rice in his bowl fiercely.

Shen Ruoyan saw Tang Xiuyuan lowering his head and eating fiercely, and his appetite improved. She ate happily and whispered to the people next to her from time to time, but she always felt a cold gaze falling on her.

She knew who was looking at her, but she didn't turn her head and pretended to be nonchalant.

During the dinner, Shen Ruoyan also took the time to go downstairs and pay for the meal.

When they were about to finish eating, the waiter specially brought over two pots of tea, "Everyone, are you satisfied with this meal? This is our home-made lotus leaf tea. Drink a cup after the meal to clear away the heat and relieve the heat." Scratch the oil and water, and please have a taste, adults."

As he spoke, he enthusiastically poured a drink for everyone.

Someone asked, "How much money did we eat during this meal?"

The little twenty-year-old knew how to deal with the world, pointed at Shen Ruoyan with a smile, and said, "Sir, this girl has already paid for this meal."

Knowing that Shen Ruoyan paid for their meal, everyone at the dinner table smiled and thanked them.

"Cousin, you are so kind."

"That's really thanks to my cousin."

"How can we, a group of grown men, have the nerve to ask a little girl like you to pay? It's a sin, it's a sin."

Shen Ruoyan responded generously: "If I hadn't met you today, I wouldn't have been able to find a seat at all. I should treat you to this meal."

"My cousin is awesome."

"Okay, let's make an appointment another day. I'll do it next time!"

Everyone said kind words.

The friendship between people gradually grows when you treat me to a meal and I return a meal to you.

Seeing everyone talking around Shen Ruoyan, Tang Manman didn't look good. She had been working hard for so long, but she didn't expect that Shen Ruoyan would steal all the limelight with just one meal. She felt really bad.

Tang Manman couldn't help but said pointedly: "But when we usually eat, don't we all share it equally? You are all people with official positions. Be careful if someone catches you and sues you. Accepting benefits from others in private.”

Originally it was just for a meal, but Tang Manman insisted on going online and talked about private bribery, which made the originally lively atmosphere stiff again.

Yizhou just had an incident involving corruption of money and money. Many officials were thoroughly investigated for corruption. Everyone is particularly sensitive to this topic.

I didn't know how to react for a moment.

A few of the bolder ones looked at Lu Yan, trying to get some inspiration from Mr. Lu's face.

But Lu Yan kept a straight face and leaned on the chair silently, obviously not wanting to care about this matter, and it was hard to tell what his attitude was.

Seeing that Lu Yan had no intention of speaking for Shen Ruoyan, Tang Manman became even more proud and took the initiative to take out a few pieces of broken silver and put them on the table, "Well, to avoid unnecessary trouble, I just put my meal money here first."

The remaining people dilly-dallyed, hesitating whether they should also pay.

It wasn't that they were worried about the money for the meal, but that it would be too disrespectful to Shen Ruoyan if they didn't do this.

Someone is kind enough to treat me to a meal, but I don't appreciate it. Isn't that like a slap in the face?

Shen Ruoyan glanced at the pieces of broken silver placed in front of Tang Manman, and sneered in her heart, but on the surface, she raised the corners of her mouth, smiled more dignifiedly, and said to everyone: "I have been here for a while, and I usually take care of you all. , I’m just treating you all to a meal today as friends, you don’t need to be so polite.”

As she spoke, she raised her eyelids slightly, looked straight at Tang Manman, and said, "Miss Tang, although we in Daning explicitly prohibit officials from accepting benefits, we do not prohibit private banquets. If we follow your standards, then in the capital, Aren’t those aristocratic nobles who throw big banquets at every turn violated Daning’s laws?”

Tang Manman was making trouble unreasonably, and was even more speechless when Shen Ruoyan retorted like this. He said, "You...you..." several times, but still couldn't find any explanation.

"Brother Lu..." Tang Manman wanted to ask Lu Yan for help.

Just as she called out, Lu Yan cut her off and said to everyone, "Okay, let's go."

After hearing this, everyone quickly stood up and left the table.

In an instant, only Tang Manman was left in the private room, and the few taels of silver in front of her.
