Chapter 1083: Chapter 1077: Scheming
Jiangnan Restaurant is a very famous establishnt in Suzhou City. It’s said that the head chef once cooked for state banquets and was later recruited to Jiangnan Restaurant as the head chef. Although he doesn’t work often, the lead chefs at the restaurant are his disciples, inheriting his true skills, making Jiangnan Restaurant a renowned culinary establishnt.
By the ti Lu Tianxing drove to Jiangnan Restaurant, it had been over half an hour. It was the peak dining ti, and the entire restaurant was exceptionally busy; the hall was almost packed, with a constant hum of chatter.
Just as Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing got out of the car, a waiter in the restaurant’s uniform imdiately approached them: “Are you Mr. Lu and Miss Bai?”
“You recognize ?” Lu Tianxing looked at the waiter in front of him, puzzled.
“No, I don’t.”
The waiter shook his head honestly and said: “Young Master Liang instructed to wait here. He told if a handso man and a gorgeous woman show up, then they are the people he’s waiting for.”
“I see.”
Lu Tianxing suddenly understood and said with a smile, “We’re the ones you’re waiting for. Where’s Liang Shidao’s room?”
“Young Master Liang is in a room upstairs. Please follow .”
The waiter made a gesture of invitation, leading the way. Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing exchanged a glance and followed the waiter toward the private rooms on the second floor of Jiangnan Restaurant.
The two followed the waiter, arriving at a private room on the second floor. The waiter lightly knocked on the door.
Soon, the door was opened, and Liang Shidao appeared before Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing. Liang Shidao looked much the sa as he did yesterday, with a gentle smile that never left his face, making one feel a bit of goodwill.
Looking at Liang Shidao, Lu Tianxing almost doubted that Liang Shidao was secretly scheming against him; he seed like the kind of friend who would risk everything for a brother.
Seeing Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing, Liang Shidao’s smile widened: “Brother Lu, sister-in-law, you finally made it. Co in quickly, I’ve already ordered the dishes—all of them are the restaurant’s specialties, and they were made by the real head chef, not the apprentices. If you don’t like them, I’ll have him make new ones for you.”
While speaking, Liang Shidao motioned for Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing to enter the room, then said to the waiter on the side: “Inform the kitchen we can start serving the dishes now.”
“Yes, Young Master Liang, please wait a mont.”
The waiter nodded respectfully and turned to head downstairs.
The three sat in the private room, and Liang Shidao looked at Lu Tianxing and said: “Brother Lu, is sister-in-law doing okay after last night?”
“She’s fine. By the way, Mr. Liang, how co you have ti to invite us for dinner tonight?” Lu Tianxing asked with a smile.
“One must make ti to have dinner with friends.”
Liang Shidao laughed heartily, looking at Lu Tianxing: “Brother Lu, I heard today that Elder Zhou, along with Zhou Sihao and Zhou Siyu, went to apologize to you. They didn’t trouble you, did they?”
“No, we had a very pleasant conversation. He even had Zhou Sihao apologize to and invited to his Zhou family ho. But I refused since I planned to accompany Zhiqing to the Suzhou Gardens today.” Lu Tianxing said lightly.
Upon hearing this, Liang Shidao slightly furrowed his brow and said, seemingly unintentionally: “Brother Lu, according to what you said, you should be careful. I’ve been in Suzhou for many years, and I’ve never seen the Zhou family bow to anyone. They are most skilled at enduring; so families have suffered at the hands of the Zhou family. On the surface, they seem to yield, but they’re stabbing you in the back. Brother Lu, you’d better be careful.”
Liang Shidao’s expression was very sincere, making it seem like he genuinely cared about you.
“What’s there to worry about.”
Lu Tianxing said indifferently: “There are plenty who want to plot against from the shadows. The Wang family once tried to sche against , and they ultimately disappeared from Beijing forever. I don’t mind making the Zhou family the second Wang family, don’t you think, Mr. Liang?”
Liang Shidao smiled faintly, his expression unchanged: “Of course, Brother Lu, I can assure you, I, Liang Shidao, will always be your friend and never stab you in the back.”
At this mont, the door suddenly knocked again, and a row of waitresses in cheongsams entered, carrying trays with dishes and placing them one by one on the table, imdiately filling the air with a rich aroma.
“Brother Lu, would you like so wine? This is the most famous wine here at Jiangnan Restaurant, called Qingquan Wine, made from mountain streams and has a very nice taste.” After the waitresses left, Liang Shidao picked up a bottle of wine from the table and said to Lu Tianxing.
“Sure, no problem. But Mr. Liang, are you sure? If you get drunk, I won’t be responsible for taking you ho.”
“Hahaha, Brother Lu, does this an your drinking capacity is pretty good? Then I must see for myself today.”
“Bring it on, I, Lu Tianxing, have never been afraid of anyone.”
As Lu Tianxing and Liang Shidao started drinking, the atmosphere in the private room beca more lively. Bai Zhiqing did not join them, quietly watching as Lu Tianxing and Liang Shidao chatted while drinking.
“Brother Lu, are you really planning to enter the Lu Family this ti?” Liang Shidao took a sip of wine and looked at Lu Tianxing.
“Mr. Liang, why do you ask this all of a sudden?”
“Sigh, Brother Lu, it’s not that I’m discouraging you as a brother, but if you want to enter the Lu Family, it will be extrely difficult.” Liang Shidao sighed lightly.
“Hmph, does soone in the Lu Family think they can surpass ?” Lu Tianxing scoffed arrogantly.
“Brother Lu, have you forgotten about the Suzhou Four Young Masters? Lu Haoyue from the Lu Family is the top of the four. I’m not belittling myself, but in the eyes of Lu Haoyue, I’m nothing. It’s said he’s already broken through to the Mythical Realm, the appointed successor of the Lu Family. Born in the sa era as him, I suddenly feel a bit pathetic.”
Liang Shidao sighed, poured himself another drink, and downed it in one go, seemingly trying to drown his sorrows.
“What’s so special about Lu Haoyue, Mr. Liang, do you have a way to introduce to him? I want to see if he really has three heads and six arms.”
“Brother Lu, you want to et Lu Haoyue?”
“Of course.”
Lu Tianxing nodded and said: “Mr. Liang, you said it’s a tragedy to be born in the sa generation as him. I want to see if he’s a man or a god, whether he has three heads and six arms.”
Lu Tianxing looked at Liang Shidao. So of Liang Shidao’s words were both true and false. Of course, Lu Tianxing wouldn’t expose him. Liang Shidao wanted him and Lu Haoyue to et, and he also wanted to et Lu Haoyue.
“Alright then, after dinner, I’ll take you to et Lu Haoyue. As usual, he should be at that place.”
Liang Shidao paused for a mont, looked at Lu Tianxing with a serious expression and said: “But, once you et Lu Haoyue, I hope Brother Lu won’t act rashly since he’s the next Family Head of the Lu Family.”
“Mr. Liang, don’t worry, I know my limits. The Lu Family’s elite, I really want to see if they’re as legendary as they say, that every generation produces a talented prodigy.”
