Chapter 37: Can You Eat Spicy Food?

  When Leng Fei heard Ling's words, his expression changed to be somewhat strange, as if he was wondering why a poor teacher like Ling had the courage to stop him. However, Leng seemed very patient; "Mr. Ling, I'm inviting this lady, not you, and...you and this lady seem to have no relationship, do you? You don't have the right to stop her from going shopping with whoever she wants."

  Ling Fei slightly nodded his head, the corners of his mouth curving into an arc; "Then, you do as you please, but I think you shouldn't have the right to stop me from going wherever I want, huh?" Li Yong hummed a sound, not responding, and his gaze towards Sima Ke'er also became several degrees more fervent.

  Simu Keer grasped Ling Fei's sleeve and whispered, "Let's leave, or else Old Man Zheng will scold me for sure." Ling Fei shook his head lightly, "Don't worry, he won't dare. It's not often that something so entertaining comes along, how could he let it go?"

  Li Yongjian saw the two of them whispering to each other, seemingly with some resentment. He suddenly turned around and walked over to Zhang Yaru's side, lowering his voice to say: "Just wait and see how I'll humiliate that little brat." Zhang Yaru nodded, but in her heart she didn't think it was a good idea: "You just want to flirt with that little girl, huh? You're all talk..."

  Ling Fei reached out and grabbed Sima Ke'er's hand, walking to the front of the two people with a friendly smile; "Let's go." Li Yong gritted his teeth and turned around, heading towards the nearby El clothing store.

  Ling Fei raised an eyebrow and let out a cold laugh, then pulled Sima Ke'er along as she followed.

  ……

  The clothing store was not crowded, with only a few women selecting clothes, and several sales clerks wearing comfortable smiles, closely following the women. When her eyes stopped on a piece of clothing for more than five seconds, the clerk would take it down and start explaining its details. Lian Yong saw this scene and thought that Ling Fei, a poor teacher, would be stunned, but when he turned his head, Ling Fei was expressionless, chatting with Sima Ke'er about something.

  Lui Yong was disdainful in his heart; "A country bumpkin is a country bumpkin, it seems he's never been to a place like this before." Thinking of this, Lui Yong snapped his fingers and a female sales clerk immediately walked over, smiling and saying: "Hello sir, what would you like to buy?"

  Lui Yong pretended to be generous, took out a gold card and handed it to the salesgirl, pointing at Sima Ke'er: "All expenses for this lady will be deducted from this card. Help her pick a suitable outfit."

  The salesgirl seemed to often see such customers, put away the gold card, smiled slightly, and said to Sima Ke'er: "Miss, this way please." Sima Ke'er took a look at Ling Fei, as if asking for instructions, and unknowingly, Sima Ke'er had already taken Ling Fei as the leader. Ling Fei whispered: "Go ahead, slaughter him thoroughly."

  Simakouer let out a sigh and followed the salesperson into the store. Ling Fei, seeing Simakouer enter, didn't even glance at Lie Yong and Zhang Yaru, but instead walked straight to the rest area provided for customers in the store. He plopped himself down on the sofa, patted his body for half a moment, and his expression changed - his cigarettes were gone...

  Li Yong pulled Zhang Ya Ru to Ling Fei's side and sat down, Li Yong took out two cigarettes, handed one to Ling Fei, who didn't hesitate, took the cigarette and lit it up, after taking a few puffs, Ling Fei exhaled; "Good smoke"

  Li Yong explained intentionally or unintentionally, "Of course, this is the diamond edition of China, only one hundred are produced every year." Ling Fei took a puff and nodded, Li Yong saw that Ling Fei didn't have any reaction, so he cursed him as a country bumpkin in his heart, just then waiting for Sima Ke'er while smoking.

  A moment later, Sima Ke'er walked out slowly in a light yellow summer dress, Lai Yong's eyes lit up, those eyes almost spat fire, even Ling Fei couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.

  Light yellow dress matching Sima Keer's milk-like skin makes people feel very refreshing and clean.

  Simma Koro blushed and said, "Is it good-looking?" Lai Yong immediately replied, "Beautiful, indeed very beautiful." Ling Fei nodded in agreement, Simma Koro smiled slightly, like a hundred flowers blooming, even the light in the store seemed to dim.

  Ling Fei muttered in his heart, "Ah, women, they're a nuisance." Lai Yong stood up and clapped his hands. The salesperson immediately came over. Lai Yong smiled, "I'll take this set." The salesperson nodded and showed a professional smile, "Alright, sir, thank you for your patronage, welcome to come again next time."

  ……

  Several people wandered aimlessly on the second floor, Ling Fei and Sima Ke'er were talking in front, occasionally bursting into laughter, making Li Yong's heart burn with jealousy; "Ling Fei, what qualifications do you have to let so many beauties surround you!?"

  Suddenly, Zhang Yaru's eyes rolled over and she smiled sweetly; "I say we go to the third floor to eat something, I heard that today Murong family's eldest son is coming here for inspection, Ah Yong, didn't you say you have a good relationship with the eldest son? Call him to come together for a meal."

  Li Yong cursed in his heart after hearing, "Damn cheap girls! Do you think that Murong kid is so easy to invite?" However, Zhang Yaru spoke up, and in front of Ling Fei and Sima Ke'er, Li Yong had no choice but to swallow his pride and make a call to the so-called young master of the Murong family, while Ling Fei's mouth corner was still hanging with a cold smile.

  "Murong Xian, I wonder if you still remember me..." Ling Fei thought to himself, when suddenly Lai Yong interrupted his thoughts; "Hey, A Xian, do you still recognize me?" The person on the other end of the phone seemed a bit uncertain, but soon started chatting with Lai Yong. In the end, Lai Yong invited him to have dinner together on the third floor, and Murong Xian naturally agreed.

  Triumphant tone of hanging up the phone, with an unmistakable hint of pride; "Murong Xian that guy, actually dared to play dumb with me, but it's no wonder, Old Man Murong is going to groom him as his successor, and yet he still took the time to have a meal with me, giving me full face..."

  Zhang Yaru heard this and burst out laughing; "Then let's go to the third floor to wait for him, otherwise we'll be late and give a bad impression." Li Yong nodded, said yes, and strode towards Ling Fei with his head held high; "Let's go, I'll introduce you to the young master of the Murong family, maybe he'll be in a good mood and arrange a position for you, who knows, you might make a fortune."

  Ling Fei naturally knew this was aimed at him, and nodded slightly in disapproval as he followed Lai Yong to the third floor...

  ……

  "Murong Xian loves spicy food the most, I told him we're waiting for him in the Sichuan cuisine area, let's go book a table first." On the third floor, Li Yong was chattering away explaining things, Zhang Yaru listened with a bright expression on her face, glanced at Sima Keer and Ling Fei who were both stunned, and snorted in disdain. When they arrived at the Sichuan cuisine area, it was a long corridor, after entering the corridor, the view suddenly opened up, inside was a spacious area, all around were Sichuan restaurants one after another, with thick ancient style decorations, and the faint aroma of Sichuan food wafting in the air.

  Ling Fei sniffed and sneered in his heart; "That little rascal still has such a heavy taste..." Li Yong glanced at him, then walked towards the largest Sichuan restaurant, with Ling Fei pulling Sima Ke'er closely behind.

  Inside the Sichuan restaurant, there weren't many people, but not too few either. The female waitresses, dressed in red robes, constantly shuttled between tables, creating a lively and fiery atmosphere. Everyone eating here intentionally or unintentionally kept their voices down to a minimum, making it seem relatively quiet.

  A waitress in a red robe walked over with a smile and said, "Welcome, are you four?" Lai Yong replied softly, "There's one more person, we'll wait for him here first." The waitress politely said, "Okay, this way please, sir." After finishing speaking, the waitress gestured with one hand, pointing in a direction, and led the way forward.

  Lui Yong grabbed Zhang Ya Ru and followed the waitress to a five-seat table, pulled out a chair, let Zhang Ya Ru sit down first, then sat down himself. He glanced at Ling Fei who came with them and thought: "Hmph, let you see what a gentleman is like. Country bumpkin."

  As expected, Ling Fei directly pulled out a stool and sat down, without helping Sima Ke'er pull out a stool like he did. Li Yongyi looked at him and laughed even more happily, with a cold smile in his heart; "You can't compare to me in terms of wealth, you can't compare to me in terms of demeanor, except...except for that face, what do you have to compete with me?"

  But the next scene left him stunned, Sima Ke'er stepped forward and asked with concern: "Can you eat spicy food? If not, it's okay, I'll make a nutritious meal for you at your place..."
