Chapter 53

The two strolled around for a long time, until at lunch, Joey wanted to express to Zhou Bin to accompany them and invite him to dinner.

Zhou Bin refused again and again, but in the end he couldn't get rid of Joey's embarrassment, so he chose a place to have lunch together.

"Mijia Restaurant."

Zhou Bin drove the car into an alley, and drove for ten minutes in twists and turns. In the end, the car stopped outside a wooden gate. The gate had these simple four characters, which seemed to be some years old.

Joey read these four words, and then smiled: "This restaurant is really remote enough. Are there any guests here?"

Zhou Bin, who was leading the way in front of him, slanted slightly and quickly returned to normal.

Lu Jingyun embraced Joey to explain. "The fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys. I guess this restaurant is too."

Joey nodded. "Yeah, I heard people say that a lot of delicious food is not well-known, and this restaurant probably has the same meaning. Hey, Brother Zhou, how did you find this restaurant? How does it taste?"

"Uh... I've been here with friends, and it tastes very good. Miss Qiao will know when she tastes it."

Joey is used to Zhou Bin calling her Miss Qiao all the time. She thinks Zhou Bin is too polite. In private, she suspects that Lu Jingyun and this Zhou Bin are not as good as he said, thinking that Zhou Bin is soft-hearted and embarrassed to refuse. Lu Jingyun's request.

Therefore, Joey wanted to invite Zhou Bin to dinner, at least don't let people say that they were rude to come from a small place.

The three walked into the courtyard, and after a few arches passed, they walked to the main lobby of the restaurant. Joey observed and curiously said that the house was not small or small, like it was left over from the previous dynasty, and it would be interesting to change it into a restaurant.

When Joey and Lu Jingyun walked in, Zhou Bin, who seemed to have entered early, took them to the box directly.

Joey was still wondering why there was no waiter to lead the way. Zhou Bin explained with a smile after he sat down.

"I've already made a phone call to reserve this box, and I come here often, so I don't need them to lead the way. Here's the menu, you can order whatever you want."

Joey looked at the menu, and then handed over the task of ordering to Lu Jingyun. He knew her taste anyway.

"Brother Zhou, you can order whatever you like. It's our husband and wife who want to invite you to dinner. Thank you for your help."

"You're welcome, just let Jingyun order it for me." Zhou Bin poured tea for Joey and Lu Jingyun and smiled.

Joey nodded and hurriedly took the tea, wondering why Brother Zhou was a waiter before? Tea poured so slippery?

After choosing the dishes, Zhou Bin directly took the menu and walked out, saying that he stopped by the bathroom.

"Husband, are you really good friends with Brother Zhou? Are you really that familiar? Why do I think Brother Zhou is so strange and polite? It's not that you have the cheek to forcibly call him here, right?"

After Zhou Bin left, Joey expressed his doubts and unease again, and hoped that Lu Jingyun would explain it to her.

Lu Jingyun also uncharacteristically turned a little more serious in the end, and sighed in reality.

"Yiyi, actually... Zhou Bin is not in a good mood."

"Huh?" Is there really a problem?

"I do know him very well, and we are also good friends. But he is not polite to us or something, he just doesn't have much contact with people, and he is always like this for people who are not particularly familiar."

"Is this a problem in his heart? Is it too exaggerated?"

"It's not an exaggeration, he's actually very troubled personally, but there's nothing he can do, he's just like this. Maybe, after five or six years, he'll be a little better when he's familiar with you."

"Five or six years? How many years have you known him?"

"Six years, now that you see him treating me like this, it's much better than before." Lu Jingyun's expression was a little sad.

"It's...it's really helpless." Joey sighed, thinking that there are so many wonders in the world, Zhou Bin is probably very insecure.

As for Zhou Bin, who handed over some menus, but was still wandering outside and did not dare to go back, he had no idea that he was already suffering from a mental illness by Lu Jingyun.

"Zhou Bin, Young Master Lu hasn't been here for a long time. Our Chef Yang said that we were going to see Young Master Lu. When his box was always empty, Chef Yang also said that he missed Young Master Lu so much."

The manager of the restaurant was chatting with Zhou Bin outside, and was surprised that Zhou Bin had come in and asked some strange requests not to show up. "By the way, what friends did Young Master Lu bring this time? So mysterious?"

Zhou Bin opened his mouth, as if he really wanted to share this exciting news with others, but in the end he could only shut his mouth depressed.

"Don't ask, don't be curious, Lu Shao doesn't want people to know:"

"Understood, I understand." The restaurant manager nodded immediately and indicated that he would never be curious.

"Chef Yang also told him not to go. This time, Young Master Lu and... friends just want to have a quiet meal, and other people must not show up."

"Okay, okay, I'll tell Chef Yang."

Afterwards, when the dishes were ready, Zhou Bin really didn't want to go into the box, but there was no way, since he was Lu Shao's "friend", if he ran away halfway, it would be even more unreasonable. Zhou Bin could only bite the bullet and return to the box.

After Zhou Bin returned to the box, he saw a touch of sympathy and care in Joey's eyes. In addition to his doubts, he was more frightened, his attitude was more polite, and he was even more focused on eating.

Lu Jingyun winked at Joey, and his eyes were probably the same. "Look, that's what he is."

Joey blinked more sympathetically, indicating that he understood.

"Yiyi, try this fish, it's delicious." Lu Jingyun shaved off the fish bones and put it in Joey's bowl. He was very considerate. For a meal, almost all the dishes were given to Joey's bowl. , like taking care of a child. As for Zhou Bin, because of Lu Jingyun's "consideration", he didn't know what kind of food he ate, and he was shocked and had indigestion.

After eating, Joey had to pay for the bill, and Zhou Bin only said that he had already settled the bill.

"Brother Zhou, this really doesn't work. We've agreed to invite you to eat. How can we let you settle the bill? You've already helped us so much, so we mustn't let you pay." Joey insisted very much.

"Miss Qiao, I have already paid, you really don't need to pay any more."

Joey frowned and looked at Lu Jingyun.

Lu Jingyun glanced at Zhou Bin. "Well, how much money, we'll give you the money."

Zhou Bin's forehead twitched, looking at Joey's very sorry expression, he hesitated to speak. "How much? It's like... er... three hundred?"

"Huh?" Joey said.

"No...it's two hundred." Zhou Bin quickly changed his words.

"No, Brother Zhou, don't change it. I don't think it's over three hundred. We should have an invoice for our meals. Just say how much it is. Don't be embarrassed and don't reduce it."

The reason she was surprised was that how much was it?
