Chapter 432: The Poor Sister Who Died Tragically in a Foreign Land (23)

The Chinese-style courtyard is decorated in an ancient style. There is a corridor outside the window of the private room. The wind is not strong at this time, so Gu Zhen simply opened the window.

You can just see the pond outside, with fallen leaves swirling and floating down.

Zuo Qiuyang handed over the menu. "The menu here is not fixed every day. Check to see if there are any dietary restrictions?"

What private dishes are prepared every day depends entirely on the chef’s mood. Customers cannot order dishes and can only remove the dishes they don’t like.

Gu Zhen took a look and had no objection. Private dishes usually taste good, especially such high-end ones.

The waiter took back the menu with a smile and considerately closed the door for them.

When the breeze blew, the hair on Gu Zhen's temples always brushed against her cheeks, so she simply tied her hair up into a simple bun.

Her swan neck is revealed, and her fair face becomes even more delicate.

Gu Zhen wore a half-high collared white sweater, which made her look cute and gentle.

Zuo Qiuyang blushed slightly and wanted to look away, but couldn't help but take one more look.

Gu Zhen was not a fool. She could not stand the gaze of such a pervert, so she changed the subject casually: "Didn't you miss the appointment time just now? We can just change to another one. It's worth it for you to find someone to help."

"Today is Friday, I'm afraid restaurants are quite busy, I don't want you to go hungry. The owner of this restaurant is my grandfather's old subordinate, I just said hello."

If a sign falls down in Xijing City and hits ten people, eight of them are officials. Gu Zhen thought that Zuo Qiuyang was a local and his family conditions should be good.

He wanted to say a few more words to ease the atmosphere when someone knocked on the door of the box and Zuo Qiuyang raised his voice to invite someone in.

The person who came was a tall and strong man, about fifty years old, with a very tough appearance, standing there like a mountain.

Zuo Qiuyang immediately stood up and went over to greet him, very respectfully: "Uncle Liang, why are you here? I thought you were not in the restaurant today, otherwise I should have visited you."

Liang Xuan patted Zuo Qiuyang's arm and laughed cheerfully: "I heard your grandfather say that you would bring your girlfriend to my place for dinner? I have to come and see what your girlfriend looks like after careful selection."

He never went to the blind dates arranged by his family, either because he was busy with work or because he was not interested. I didn't expect that he had secretly found someone.

Gu Zhen followed him and stood up. Hearing this, she hurriedly explained, "You misunderstood. Zuo Qiuyang and I are friends. It's not what you think."

Liang Xuan raised his eyebrows in surprise. He looked at Gu Zhen. At first glance, he knew she was a girl who grew up in a well-behaved manner. She had a strong bookish air, was quiet and gentle, and very likable.

It turns out that I haven’t caught up with it yet.

"We're not boyfriend and girlfriend!" Liang Xuan looked at Zuo Qiuyang meaningfully, "Then you have to work harder!"

Gu Zhen was so embarrassed that his face turned red, and Zuo Qiuyang wasn't much better.

He just called the old man, and the other party insisted on asking him who he was having dinner with. The old man insisted on the rules, so Zuo Qiuyang had to say that for the lifelong happiness of his grandson, he asked the old man to find a backdoor for Liang Xuan.

The old man misunderstood and even caused Liang Xuan to come over in person to gossip.

He winked at Liang Xuan, who laughed, "I won't disturb you while you're eating. I'll add another dish for you later!"

Zuo Qiuyang finally saw off the giant Buddha.

He looked at Gu Zhen very apologetically: "I'm sorry for causing you trouble. My grandfather misunderstood what I said. I didn't say outside that we were... a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship."

Gu Zhen can trust Zuo Qiuyang's character.

Over the years, he has never crossed the line and always stayed on that line, showing concern but not making people feel intrusive, and testing but not getting entangled.

Gu Zhen didn't know how to respond to the other person's thoughts.

She couldn't feel at ease until Yu Yan's matter was settled.

Besides, Zuo Qiuyang is from Xijing City, and she is from Hai City, and her family has been full of ups and downs. Even if they are together, they may not be able to obtain the consent of each other's parents.

Gu Zhen collected her thoughts and replied with a smile: "It is understandable that the old man is concerned about your marriage. But you have graduated for more than a year. Haven't you ever been in love?"

"No, I don't even have a first love." The first time he fell in love was with Gu Zhen sitting opposite him. Zuo Qiuyang's eyes were burning. "What about you? You are so outstanding, there should be many people chasing after you."

Gu Zhen has many suitors, but none of them appeal to her. She shook her head and talked about Liang Xuan. "That uncle has an upright temperament. Is he a veteran?"

Liang Xuan used to be the old man's orderly. Later he retired due to injury. After returning, he opened this restaurant with the help of the old man, and his business is growing bigger and bigger.

After listening to this, Gu Zhen seemed to be thinking about something. She had never heard Yu Yan mention before that Zuo Qiuyang's family was so well-off?

"Your last name is Zuo...your grandfather..." Gu Zhen suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Zuo Qiuyang raised a finger and said "hush", "He retired many years ago, and now he is just a nagging old man who likes fishing. He hates people mentioning his past the most."

Gu Zhen was stunned for a moment. This was not just an ordinary wealthy family. His family background was even better than Nie Yunfeng, whom Yu Yan and Yuan Mei had been trying so hard to dig out.

It’s just that he has retired now and has no real power.

"In my family, only the old man has a promising future. My uncles and my father all spend their days idling around in idle jobs. As for me, I am even worse. I deal with gangsters and hooligans all day long."

Zuo Qiuyang was afraid that Gu Zhen would feel alienated from his family and was eager to prove himself.

Gu Zhen smiled softly. She could tell whether he was incapable of making progress or did not want to make progress.

Yu Yan had said before that Zuo Qiuyang was very good at the doctrine of the mean, and in fact his ability was not inferior to anyone else.

This was someone else's family affair, and Gu Zhen would not ask too much about it, but she had already decided in her heart that she would keep her distance from Zuo Qiuyang.

After all, this kind of man is proud in his bones, and his family is superior. She doesn't want to embarrass everyone in the future.

As for the slight thrill brought by the figure blocking the autumn wind at the hotel entrance tonight, let it go away with the wind.

During the meal, Zuo Qiuyang clearly felt that Gu Zhen was distancing himself from him.

This discovery made him a little flustered.

Zuo Qiuyang really had no experience in dating girls and didn't even know how to pursue someone, so he almost forced himself to swallow the meal, and the dessert tasted bitter when he put it in his mouth.

I should have known not to acknowledge the old man's identity.

The two of them were silent for a while, and the only sound in the room was the sound of chewing.

Outside on the corridor, hurried footsteps could be heard from a distance, and a female voice could be faintly heard, shouting something.

Gu Zhen paused for a moment, having recognized the voice.

It’s Yuan Mei.
