Chapter 853: Chapter 853: Inviting Zhong Yuye to Dinner
Her guitar was still in the hands of that pervert named Qin Jun!
Qi Yue’s face turned as pale as paper. That guitar was one she had gotten after her grandmother had spent an entire summer saving up from farming; to her, it was incredibly precious. But to get it back, she would inevitably have to encounter that pervert again, and she couldn’t risk putting Rong Yan in danger again by having her acpany her.
“Is your guitar still in there?” Rong Yan had heard about the origin of that guitar and immediately asked her.
Qi Yue’s expression became somewhat stiff, feeling that she was incredibly unlucky. She was harassed out of the blue, then inexplicably accused by that pervert of ruining his business, got detained for a night, and was forced to pensate ten million, saddling her with a huge debt…
It seemed that ever since she encountered that perverted man, her misfortune had reached its peak.
Now, the guitar that was so important to her had fallen into the pervert’s hands, and Qi Yue felt like crying.
She shook her head and forcibly suppressed the distress in her heart. “It’s okay, I can just buy another guitar. Anyway, that guitar wasn’t worth much.”
Her grandmother only knew how to farm; even after toiling away in the fields all summer, she had only earned a little over a thousand yuan. Qi Yue still remembered the disdainful look in the salesperson’s eye when her grandmother, with crumpled money in hand, took her to the music store to buy the guitar.
That guitar really wasn’t expensive, but it was a unique treasure to her.
Because she couldn’t go back to that summer, and in this world, there would never again be a trembling figure leading her to buy a guitar…
Qi Yue suppressed the sourness in her nose, not wanting Rong Yan to see how much she actually cared about that guitar.
But Zhong Yuye saw it, and said to Rong Yan, “Qin Jun is not as bad as you think, he just has a temper and is unpredictable. Essentially, he’s not a bad person. Her guitar should still be with Qin Jun. I’ll speak to him someday. He has no use for the guitar; he should return it to her.”
Rong Yan was about to go back and help Qi Yue look for her guitar, but she relaxed upon hearing his words and said to Zhong Yuye, “Then I’ll have to trouble you.”
Zhong Yuye glanced at the time, “It’s already 12 o’clock. Since we’re here, let’s have a meal together.”
He had helped her many times already, and this time it was also thanks to him that Qi Yue could get out so easily. Rong Yan wasn’t the kind to be ungrateful, so she took the initiative and said, “Sure, my treat.”
Zijin Club was his establishment. Was she going to treat him to a meal here? Zhong Yuye raised an eyebrow, his features delicate, a kind of beautiful delicacy, but not so beautiful as to mistake his gender. That raised eyebrow gave a sharp impression, very much like… a soldier.
Rong Yan didn’t know why that word came to mind, but she indeed thought of it, “Zhong Yuye, you…”
She almost blurted out asking him about his profession, then realized that it was rather awkward to suddenly ask such a question.
After all, she wasn’t very familiar with Zhong Yuye; their acquaintance was nothing more than a strange connection from that previous encounter in the food street alley.
“What?”
Rong Yan shook her head, let it go. “Nothing, I was just about to tell you not to argue with me and let me treat you this time. I also want to thank you for the help in the private room just now.”
She spoke sincerely, without a trace of pretense. Zhong Yuye only considered for a moment then graciously agreed, “I’ll ask the waiter to prepare a private room.”
Just like Lan Club, Zijin Club needed reservations, and without them, even having money wouldn’t get you a meal here.
