The two won were none other than Lu Tianxing, Bai Zhiqing, and Lin Qianru, who had co at the invitation of Qiu Tianrui.
As the three of them walked into the restaurant, they imdiately saw Qiu Tianrui, dressed in a suit and exuding an air of nobility, erging from within the restaurant.
"Mr. Lu, you seem to be living a divine life, it’s truly enviable," Qiu Tianrui remarked with a tone of familiarity, though his gaze dared not linger on Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru.
Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru slightly nodded upon hearing Qiu Tianrui’s words, feeling nothing significant.
Lu Tianxing smiled faintly and didn’t dwell on the topic. Instead, he diverted the conversation, saying, "Young Master Qiu, you invited for a al, but you’re not expecting to stand here and eat, are you?"
"Mr. Lu is correct, I’m being rude. The private room is ready. Mr. Lu, Miss Bai, Miss Lin, please."
With that, Qiu Tianrui made a gesture of invitation to Lu Tianxing and led the way.
Lu Tianxing, Bai Zhiqing, and Lin Qianru followed behind Qiu Tianrui towards the private room without a word.
After passing through the corridor, the three quickly entered a private room and sat down.
As soon as they sat down, a waiter ca in respectfully with a professional smile and politely asked, "May we take your order now?"
Qiu Tianrui pointed towards Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru and softly said, "Ladies first, allow these lovely ladies to order."
The waiter nodded and imdiately handed the e-nu to Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru.
The two won took the electronic nu, quickly flipped through it with their fingers, ordered several dishes, and then handed the nu to Lu Tianxing.
Lu Tianxing took the nu, glanced at the dishes ordered, found they were all to his liking, and didn’t add any more. Instead, he handed the nu back to Qiu Tianrui, saying, "Young Master Qiu, since you are hosting, why don’t you pick a few dishes as well?"
Qiu Tianrui was slightly taken aback by Lu Tianxing’s words but didn’t refuse. He casually picked a couple of dishes and handed the e-nu to the waiter, saying, "Also, bring us the most famous Huadiao wine here."
"Certainly."
The waiter replied respectfully, "Please wait a mont."
Watching the waiter leave, Qiu Tianrui took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Lu, thank you so much for today. My sister initially wanted to thank you in person, but since my little niece needed care, she couldn’t co herself. I hope you don’t mind."
"Haha, Young Master Qiu, you’re too polite. It was just a small favor, nothing significant," Lu Tianxing casually waved his hand, saying.
"Mr. Lu, to you, it might have been a small favor, but for our Qiu Family, it was a huge favor. If you ever need anything in the future, just say the word, and our Qiu Family will go through fire and water for you," Qiu Tianrui said earnestly, looking at Lu Tianxing.
"Go through fire and water?"
Hearing this, Lu Tianxing looked at Qiu Tianrui with amusent, "Young Master Qiu, if I were to ask you to join forces with against the Shu Tang Family and the Yang Family, would your Qiu Family still be willing to go through fire and water?"
"Uh!"
Qiu Tianrui’s expression changed instantly at Lu Tianxing’s comnt, realizing that although their Qiu Family was a prominent family on Qin Island, they were no match for the Yang Family and Tang Family, to go against them would be suicidal.
Qiu Tianrui hurriedly tried to say sothing, but before he could speak, Lu Tianxing interrupted, "Young Master Qiu, don’t mind , I was just speaking off the cuff. However, I suspect your reason for inviting today isn’t just to thank , is it?"
Qiu Tianrui was slightly surprised by Lu Tianxing’s directness, then smiled wryly and said, "Mr. Lu, you guessed correctly...."
At this mont, the door of the private room was suddenly knocked.
Qiu Tianrui, who was just about to explain the reason for the al, swallowed his words when he heard the knock.
Next instant, the door was pushed open from the outside.
A waiter entered pushing a cart, placed the food on the table, and quietly left.
After the waiter left, Lin Qianru imdiately picked up the Huadiao wine bottle, pulled out the cork, and poured a glass for Lu Tianxing and Qiu Tianrui, saying, "The food is served, you two better eat and chat. Otherwise, the dishes will lose flavor once they get cold."
"Miss Lin, thank you." Qiu Tianrui politely accepted the glass, saying.
"Young Master Qiu, you’re welco."
Lin Qianru slightly nodded, exchanged a glance with Bai Zhiqing, and said nothing, quietly sitting beside them, listening to the conversation between Lu Tianxing and Qiu Tianrui.
Qiu Tianrui raised his glass towards Lu Tianxing, "Mr. Lu, this glass is to thank you for saving my niece. On behalf of my sister, I thank you."
With that, Qiu Tianrui downed his glass in one go, poured himself another, and slowly said, "Mr. Lu, you’re right. The reason I ca to you is not just to thank you for saving my niece. More importantly, my grandfather asked to bring sothing to you."
"What is it?"
"My grandfather knows you ca to Qin Island to deal with the Sun Family, so he specially asked to bring you so information on the Sun Family."
While speaking, Qiu Tianrui took out a USB drive from his pocket and handed it to Lu Tianxing, "Mr. Lu, this contains all the information about the Sun Family."
Listening to Qiu Tianrui, Lu Tianxing’s eyes flashed with a playful smile, "Young Master Qiu, do you think with my power, I need the Sun Family’s information?"
Qiu Tianrui’s expression didn’t change in response to Lu Tianxing’s words and calmly replied, "Mr. Lu, with your current strength, you indeed don’t need this information. However, as the saying goes, ’snakes have their paths, and rats have their ways.’ Though the Sun Family may seem insignificant to you, and their apparent power has been wiped out by you, do you think a family like the Sun Family has no hidden ace up their sleeve after operating on Qin Island for so long?"
"Young Master Qiu, you’ve told so much about the Sun Family’s hidden powers. Are you hoping to kill them with a borrowed knife?"
Lu Tianxing squinted at Qiu Tianrui, making it hard to read his thoughts.
