Chapter 38: I'll change, I must change.

  Ling Fei took the clothes from her hand, put them aside and smiled: "Why not? Don't really think I'm a sickly person." Ling Fei's small action of taking the clothes seemed to please Sima Ke'er more than pulling out the chair. The latter smiled and pulled out the chair beside Ling Fei to sit down. Li Yong seemed unable to believe it, looked at Ling Fei with anger in his heart and thought: "This time I lost to you, when Murong Xian comes later, I'll make you lose face!"

  Lui Yong said to the waitress, "One order of boiled pork slices, one order of boiled fish, five orders of Sichuan-style bacon rice. The spiciness of the boiled fish and boiled pork slices should be sufficient. Also, open a bottle of red wine, any vintage will do. That's all for now."

  The waitress nodded and smiled: "Sir, the red wine is a service that only our VIP guests at Qianjiale have the privilege to enjoy. Please show your VIP card."

  Lui Yong didn't beat around the bush, took out a red gold-edged card from his wallet and handed it to the waitress. The waitress took it with a smile on her face; "Thank you for your cooperation, have a pleasant meal."

  After finishing, she turned around and walked towards the counter, should be to verify the authenticity of the VIP card. Lai Yong sat there, his eyes constantly sizing up Sima Keer, the more he looked, the more he felt *soaring, so he swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, preparing to take Zhang Yaru out for a good time tonight.

  At this time, there seemed to be some chaotic voices at the door. Lü Yong's mouth corner revealed a cold smile. He knew that Murong Xian had arrived. Embarrassed by his face, he didn't stand up to greet him, but instead sat in his original position, waiting for Murong Xian to come and find him. Ling Fei leaned one hand on the table, propping up his chin, with a smile in his eyes, looking towards the door.

  Lui Yongye looked towards the front gate, and the commotion seemed to have subsided. A man slowly walked in, wearing casual attire, exuding a youthful air, but the vicissitudes on his face could not be concealed no matter what.

  As he entered, Ling Fei subconsciously lowered his head, as if not wanting to meet him. The man glanced in Lian Yong's direction, smiled and walked over, saying: "Brother Lian, it's been a long time, I didn't expect you still remember me."

  Li Yong stood up and shook hands with him, smiling: "Brother Murong is too polite, how could I forget you? Come, sit down." After finishing speaking, he pointed to the seat next to him, letting the man sit down. As he passed by Zhang Yaru's side, Zhang Yaru stood up and intentionally or unintentionally threw a flirtatious glance: "I've long heard that the eldest young master of the Murong family, Murong Xian, has an extraordinary temperament. Today I see it for myself, and indeed it's true."

  Murong Xian let out a gentle smile, his eyes filled with amusement as he looked at Li Yong. "This must be your esteemed wife, Brother Li is indeed very fortunate." Li Yong smiled politely, but didn't think much of it.

  Murong Xian walked to the front of the chair, slowly sat down, and said in a low voice: "Have you all ordered?" Li Yonghao replied generously: "Brother, this is too polite. When inviting you to dinner, do we need to wait for you to personally order? I still remember what you like to eat, brother. Just wait for a moment."

  Ling Fei hung his head, listening to them compliment each other, thinking: "This is what high-society people are like, really hypocritical." Murong Xian seemed to have also noticed Ling Fei and Sima Ke'er. When he saw Sima Ke'er, a flash of surprise appeared in his eyes, automatically ignoring Ling Fei; "Brother Li, why don't you introduce these two...?"

  Li Yong was taken aback, but soon realized that Murong Xian might also have his eyes on Sima Ke'er. However, the composure he had cultivated from years of experience in the business world allowed him to calm down and prepare to probe into the other's intentions.

  Lui Yong gritted his teeth and pretended to be casual. "These two are my friends, we just happened to run into each other, Brother Murong doesn't need to mind." Murong Xian nodded, did something that made Lui Yong's eyes widen in shock, because he had done it before too. Murong Xian slowly stood up, revealing a charming smile; "Miss, may I have the pleasure of knowing your name and where you're from?"

  Listening to Murong Xian's straightforward words, Sima Ke'er's cheeks flushed slightly, but she didn't feel any annoyance in her heart. She replied softly, "I'm Sima Ke'er."

  Murong Xian's eyes lit up, and he said in a low voice with a pleasant tone, being careful not to be rude; "Miss Sima, I wonder if I have the honor of becoming friends with you?"

  Just as Murong Xian was feeling pleased with himself, Ling Fei, who was sitting beside him, suddenly coughed lightly; "Murong Xian, you'd better show some respect. I recall saying that no one is allowed to touch the people by my side..."

  Murong Xian's face turned pale as he looked in the direction of the sound, his lips trembling as he struggled to speak. Lai Yong saw Murong Xian's ghostly expression and thought to himself, "What is this Ling Fei's background that can make the normally composed Murong Xian lose his composure like this?" What happened next left him even more astonished, as Murong Xian slowly sat down, looking like a child being scolded by an elder, but with a hint of resentment in his eyes.

  Ling Fei nodded in satisfaction; "Your father has trained you well, tell him that I will visit his home one day and we can have tea and chat...". Murong Xian's whole body trembled, if others didn't understand the meaning behind Ling Fei's words, he knew it clearly. This sentence was enough to stir up a storm in Shanghai's underworld! Ling Fei wanted to attend the Black Assembly!

  Murong Xian's hand trembled, taking a few deep breaths; "Ling...brother Ling..." Ling Fei chuckled; "Don't call me that, Murong young master, I can't bear it."

  Murong Xian's face turned gloomy, and he cursed in his heart: "Damn it, do you think I'm afraid of you!? If I provoke you, my old man will surely beat me to death." Although he thought so in his heart, his tone was still somewhat respectful: "Ling Ge, if you say so, it's not good. My father has always wanted to see you again, and it would be best if you could go find him. Today's meal is on me, let's just consider it a welcoming gift for Ling Ge..."

  Xīn chén indicates that a heavyweight figure in the underworld has retired and re-emerged, Líng Fēi naturally understands the implications, and smiles slightly; "No need, this time I was brought by Lǐ Yǒng, I don't want to lose face in front of him either, let him treat us, what's the point of you treating us."

  Lui Yong didn't dare say another word, secretly thinking if there was a place where he had made Ling Fei feel resentful. Even jokingly, the old master Murong, who was always on his lips, what kind of small character could that be? At least crushing Lui Yong would require just one finger.

  Ling Fei is now nervous, Zhang Ya Ru was not always like that. She naturally understood the relationship between Ling Fei and Mu Rong Shi Mei. When she treated Mu Rong Shi Mei like that back then, if Ling Fei were to take revenge today, she wouldn't be able to bear it. In her panic, she cast a pleading gaze at Ling Fei beside her, but didn't know that Ling Fei was also anxious and uneasy, unable to protect herself...

  Simakui's thoughts in her heart were even more peculiar; "Ling Fei can make the young masters of all the great families afraid, then he should be some kind of hidden world expert, right? He should be a fairy-like existence... How wonderful..." Thinking of this, Simakui's eyes sparkled with little stars, and her gaze at Ling Fei also had a few more ambiguous flavors.

  Ling Fei didn't know what they were thinking, he just felt hungry now and urged: "Why hasn't the dish come up yet?" Murong Xian heard this and slapped the table loudly. The manager of the hall immediately rushed over in a hurry: "Young Master Murong, do you have any instructions?"

  Murong Xian let out a cold snort; "Who's the chef today? Why is serving dishes so slow! Didn't you see I'm attending to guests? Tell him not to come to work tomorrow!" The lobby manager was taken aback, she clearly didn't understand how Murong Xian, who was usually gentle and courteous with a strong sense of affinity, could become like this.

  Li's gaze at Leng Yong also became cautious, not that she looked down on Ling Fei, but rather that Ling Fei's attire and demeanor didn't match up. The hall manager exchanged a greeting with Mu Rong Xian before hastily rushing towards the back kitchen...

  Murong Xian showed a flattering smile; "Ling Ge, if you're not satisfied, I'll fire the chef immediately." Ling Fei, however, calmly fiddled with the teacups on the table and softly said; "I really don't know why you people always talk about firing someone as soon as they open their mouths. Do you think it's easy to find a job now? You say fire and then fire, have you ever thought that maybe that chef has an 80-year-old mother at home and a three-year-old child? Is this really something to be proud of? You rich people just don't know the struggles of the poor. I'm currently teaching at a school, working hard to earn my salary and make ends meet. Why don't you try it too?"

  Murong Xian immediately nodded in agreement; "Ling Ge taught me a lesson, I'll change, I must change."
