My friend's uncle took a fancy to me

"By the way, you still owe me a meal. When can you treat me?" Tang Qian suddenly asked her.

Lu Xiaoqiao was slightly startled, a look of embarrassment appeared on her face. She remembered that she had indeed agreed to this matter before, and the other party had helped a lot. It was reasonable to treat him to a meal.

It just so happened that Lin Lin and Zhao Jia were also here today, so there was no need to make an appointment specifically.

"I haven't forgotten. How about today? It's almost lunch time."

Tang Qian said: "I'm fine with either. It depends on your time."

Lu Xiaoqiao glanced at him: "However, my friend is nearby and may want to join us. Do you mind?"

Since Tang Qian was planning to let go, he didn't care about these little details anymore: "It's okay, it's more lively when there are more people, so just call your friends over to eat together."

After making the decision, Lu Xiaoqiao briefly explained the situation in the group.

Lin Lin and Zhao Jia asked her to choose the address for dinner and they would go there directly later.

Lu Xiaoqiao took out her phone and used the app to check what kind of food was available nearby. "Mr. Tang, what kind of cuisine do you like?"

After Tang Qian let go of his worries, he resumed his usual uninhibited style of speaking: "I don't care. I can eat anything. It depends on what you want to eat."

Lu Xiaoqiao was fiddling with his phone and saw on the map that there was a Cantonese restaurant on the fifth floor. It was of a pretty high quality, which was in line with his promise to treat him to a good meal!

"Cantonese food is okay?" Lu Xiaoqiao looked up at him.

"Okay, is it the one upstairs?"

Lu Xiaoqiao nodded: "Well, I think the rating is quite high."

"If it's that place, then we should hurry over there and wait for your friend. Otherwise, it will be lunchtime and they probably won't have any seats."

"Okay, let's go first."

Lu Xiaoqiao and Tang Qian first went to the Cantonese restaurant on the fifth floor. They originally wanted a private room, but the private rooms here had to be booked in advance.

Lu Xiaoqiao asked the waiter to choose a quiet seat where four people could sit.

After asking Tang Qian to choose a few dishes from the menu, Lu Xiaoqiao sent the menu to the group and asked Lin Lin and Zhao Jia what they wanted to eat.

Lin Lin: [We're done here too. You can place your order now. By the time Jiajie and I get here, the food will probably be almost ready!]

Lu Xiaoqiao: [Okay, I'll place the order first.]

When the dishes started to come up, Lin Lin and Zhao Jia had not arrived yet, and Lu Xiaoqiao was a little anxious.

Lu Xiaoqiao: [Where are you two? The dishes are starting to be served, @林琳 @赵佳.]

Zhao Jia: [We're here. Lin Lin went to the bathroom. I'll be right there.]

Lu Xiaoqiao: [Okay. OK]

Lu Xiaoqiao put down her phone and waited for the two little sisters, but unexpectedly, Lin Lin and Zhao Jia did not show up, but Wang Yumei did.

"Xiao Qiao?"

Lu Xiaoqiao turned around and looked behind him, his body suddenly stiffened. It was over!

This morning, someone called from the old house, asking her and Lin Lin to go back for dinner in the evening. Lu Xiaoqiao made the excuse that she had a cold and didn't want to move, but now she was caught red-handed.

Lu Xiaoqiao stood up awkwardly: "Aunt, come and have dinner too!"

Wang Yumei walked to Lu Xiaoqiao with her bag in her left hand, turned her head and glanced at Tang Qian, then turned her gaze to Lu Xiaoqiao again.

The tone was neither warm nor cold: "Having dinner with friends?"

Lu Xiaoqiao was embarrassed, but she quickly explained, "Our company's client, Lin Lin and my colleague will be here soon. We've agreed to have dinner together."

"Then you guys eat, I also have a meeting with friends."

After Wang Yumei left, Lin Lin and Zhao Jia came over.

Lu Xiaoqiao looked at Lin Lin's obviously excited expression and asked her doubtfully, "What good news? You look so happy."

Lin Lin smiled happily and said, "My mother came back early and is now in Beijing. She will be back in two days after taking care of some things."

Lu Xiaoqiao was also happy for her: "Really? That's great!"

……

After they finished their meal, Lu Xiaoqiao went to the front desk to pay the bill.

Wang Yumei and her friend had just finished their meal and were walking towards the front desk. Lu Xiaoqiao saw them and said, "Aunt, have you and your friend finished your meal? Give me the bill and I'll settle it together."

Although Wang Yumei looked down on her nephew's wife, she gave her enough face in front of her friends because she was so sensible.

She did not refuse and handed the bill to Lu Xiaoqiao with a faint smile.

Lu Xiaoqiao took the bill and asked the waiter to add it to his table's bill, but when he was about to use his phone to pay, he found that his phone was out of battery.

I forgot to charge it last night, and I just watched videos all morning. My phone has already shut down automatically.

"Excuse me, do you have any chargers or power banks here?"

The clerk glanced at the brand of her phone and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, miss. My phone is a different brand than yours. I have a power bank on the basement floor."

"What's wrong?" Wang Yumei asked as she approached the front desk.

Lu Xiaoqiao clenched the phone in her hand embarrassedly: "The phone is out of battery."

Wang Yumei frowned, looking unhappy. Not even a minute had passed since she was praised for being sensible, and she had already embarrassed herself in front of her friends.

"I'll do it myself, you can charge slowly."

Seeing Wang Yumei unhappy, Lu Xiaoqiao also felt that he had done something wrong today. Suddenly remembering something, he hurriedly stopped Wang Yumei's phone from paying and asked the waiter, "Can you pay by card here?"

The waiter nodded: "Sure."

Lu Xiaoqiao said happily, "Then I'll swipe the card!" Then she turned to Wang Yumei and said, "Aunt, I have my card with me. I'll pay for it!"

She put the two cards that Zhou Qizhen had given her into her bag, but she said the cards were too small and easy to lose without a wallet.

Zhou Qizhen asked her to put it in the phone case so that it would be more convenient to use.

Wang Yumei said angrily, "Are you sure there's enough money in the card? Don't let them say you have insufficient balance later."

Lu Xiaoqiao smiled awkwardly: "Don't worry, aunt, it will definitely be enough."

When Lu Xiaoqiao took out the two bank cards from the back of the phone case, Wang Yumei and the waiter were both stunned.

The waiter looked at Lu Xiaoqiao again and thought: She looks very ordinary in her clothes, without any sense of luxury. I didn't expect her to take out two such amazing cards.

"Both savings cards and credit cards can be used, right?" Lu Xiaoqiao asked the waiter.

The waiter nodded quickly: "Yes, yes." It must be possible. If it can't be swiped, we have to set up a new machine today to make it work.

She has never used this global limited edition card on this machine, and she is excited just thinking about it.

"Okay, then, let's use the black one!"

"Okay." The waiter took it with some excitement.

After paying the bill, Wang Yumei called Lu Xiaoqiao outside with a somewhat unhappy look on her face.

"What's wrong, aunt?"

Wang Yumei glanced at the two cards Lu Xiaoqiao was still holding in her hand and said in a somewhat unhappy tone, "The card you just used, was it given to you by Qi Zheng?"

Lu Xiaoqiao: "..." Could it be that I stole it?

"Ah."

"Did he give it to you himself, or did you ask for it?"
