The restaurant Chu Fan booked was not far away. The lakeside terrace offered stunning views, even showing the orange-red sunset on the horizon.
In any case, today’s date was beyond Shutong’s expectations.
What made her speechless was that when she was halfway through her meal, the waiter brought her a bottle of red wine, saying that it was a gift from a gentleman.
As for who it was, Shutong didn’t see it, but she had already guessed who it was.
Apart from Lou Yu, no one would do such a thing at this time.
She didn’t know what was wrong with him, but this intervention had made her seriously uncomfortable.
It was just like when she was in high school, and a male classmate was walking her home because she stayed at school too late. Lou Yu saw her at the door, but he mocked the male classmate and warned him not to approach her again.
Shutong remembered that later on, the male classmate really didn’t dare to talk to her. Then, the rumors spread among classmates, making her popularity even worse.
It wasn’t until after college that her life returned to normal.
But now, with Lou Yu back, he was trying to interfere in her life and social circle again.
The waiter whispered something to Chu Fan before leaving.
Shutong looked at the red wine, then at Chu Fan. Putting aside her complicated thoughts, she was quite curious about how he would react.
The crew members nearby were also watching the drama unfold. Great, Chu Fan was provoked for the second time!
Everyone originally thought that Chu Fan would have someone send the wine back directly, but he picked it up, glanced at it, and immediately asked the waiter to open it and let it breathe.
Shutong stared at him blankly, “This…isn’t that a bit inappropriate?”
Chu Fan’s expression was calm, his thin lips moving as he said, “220,000 US dollars.”
Shutong: “Oh, then drink it.”
220,000 US dollars, 750 milliliters—every milliliter was a piece of gold.
“Pfft…” The surrounding staff burst out laughing.
These two people were really something else.
Regardless of the meaning behind the wine, she’d just drink it first.
However, Shutong couldn’t understand the taste of this $220,000 red wine. She just felt her net worth had suddenly increased after drinking it.
She only took one sip before Chu Fan took her glass away.
“Just try it.”
Maybe because he had been drinking, his voice became even deeper and hoarser, and that action made Shutong feel that he was a bit handsome.
Shutong pursed her lips and started drinking lemonade again.
The $220,000 bottle of wine was just put aside.
After a while, the waiter came back with a bottle of red wine.
“Mr. Chu, this is the 1992 Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon that you kept in the cold storage.”
Shutong was stunned. She didn’t expect that he actually had red wine in this restaurant, so she asked casually, “Are you still opening it?”
The name of that red wine sounded very impressive.
Chu Fan nodded and asked the waiter to open it again.
Shutong seemed to understand something and looked at him with her chin in her hand. So he wanted to get back at her?
The assistant from the program team searched quickly and was shocked.
$500,000…
Great, two houses were practically on the table.
Shutong just tasted the new bottle of wine. After all, she didn’t know her alcohol tolerance. She was still recording a show, so she naturally didn’t dare to touch it too much.
The two of them were eating seriously throughout the whole process, and the topics they talked about were very simple. This made Shutong feel very comfortable because she herself was not very good at expressing her inner thoughts, especially in front of the camera.
She came here more because she wanted money.
Thinking of this, Shutong became even calmer.
She went to the bathroom halfway through, and when she came out, she saw Lou Yu waiting there.
It was indeed him…
“Brother.” Shutong still called out.
Back then, Lou’s mother brought Lou Yu, who was in a wheelchair, to the orphanage.
That day, Shutong had worn a beautiful dress, dressed up nicely, waiting to be chosen. But unfortunately, one of the older girls threw pebbles at her and smeared dust on her dress.
She had a scratch on her face, and her clothes were dirty. She could only hide in a corner, knowing that the prettier girls would be chosen first.
But who would have thought that Lou Yu would point his finger directly at her?
Shutong entered the Lou family, changed her surname, and lived a wealthy life that she could not imagine.
But in reality, her adoptive parents only wanted a maid to take care of Lou Yu, so they basically didn’t care about her. The servants in the house never treated her like a master and occasionally made sarcastic remarks about her behind her back.
But none of this mattered to Shutong.
She also wanted to be nice to Lou Yu, but he had a weird temper and got angry from time to time, and sometimes she didn’t even know why.
At this time, Lou Yu was leaning against the wall, holding a flickering cigarette in his hand, looking at her sideways.
“Having fun?”
His words concealed a danger and coldness that Shutong knew all too well.
“I’m recording a show.”
Shutong walked over and looked at his legs: “Your legs are healed.”
Not only healed, but he could also drive like that.
Lou Yu is a person who will stand up again wherever he falls.
Lou Yu stubbed out his cigarette and tossed it into the trash can, then slightly opened his arms.
“Come here.”
Shutong pretended not to notice his movements and gestured to the other end of the corridor, “I have to go back now.”
Lou Yu’s eyes suddenly darkened: “Lou Shutong, do you really think you’ve grown so powerful? Not answering the phone, and disobeying me?”
Shutong frowned, but walked straight over, “I really have to go back. I’ll ask you out next time.”
However, Lou Yu had already grabbed her shoulders tightly, pulled her back, and pressed her against the hard wall.
