City S is indeed one of the three fastest-growing cities in China, and its prosperous scene is comparable to that of the capital.
Purple Style is located in the middle of West Third Road in S City, and West Third Road is also a prime location in S City. The fact that a western restaurant of this scale can be opened here is enough to show that the owner of this restaurant is extraordinary.
When you step into the restaurant, the lights are blue, the tableware is blue, and the tables and chairs are blue, giving you the illusion that you have arrived at the Aegean Sea.
With its romantic and aesthetic decoration style and exquisite food full of Western flavor, this is the restaurant with the most "French blood" in S City, and it is filled with French style everywhere.
In front, couples and lovers sit together, saying sweet words to each other, but this is only the couple layer of "Purple Style".
The purple style is divided into three layers. The first layer is full of romance and is for couples. The second layer is decorated in warm colors and is full of warmth. It is for friends and relatives. The third layer is decorated in both cold and warm colors and is for confidants!
However, it was impossible for Chen Mengxi to have dinner with Liu Xun on the couple's floor, so she went to the second floor. Of course, Liu Xun also knew that he was not the friend and relative in Chen Mengxi's eyes, but it didn't matter to him. As long as he had food to eat and could fill his stomach, everything would be fine.
Chen Mengxi entered a private room. By the time Liu Xun and Li Mengyao entered, Chen Mengxi had already ordered food for herself and Li Mengyao.
"Order whatever you want." Chen Mengxi puffed up her cheeks and said coldly, with a hint of anger in her eyes as she looked at Liu Xun.
"Black pepper steak, medium rare, two servings!" Liu Xun said to the waiter with a chuckle without even looking at the menu.
When the waiter heard what Liu Xun said, he was stunned, because although this is a Western restaurant, it is in China after all, and there are not many customers who want medium-rare steak, and this person wants two servings at once.
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment." Although he was puzzled, the waiter knew that this was not something he should ask, so he bowed to Liu Xun and then closed the door and left.
Li Mengyao frowned when she heard the dishes Liu Xun ordered. She was becoming more and more curious about Liu Xun's identity.
When Chen Mengxi heard that Liu Xun wanted a medium rare steak, she didn't know whether she was angry or happy. She actually laughed and said softly, "Liu Xun, are you asking for a medium rare steak just to save face, like in the movies? Do you know what a medium rare steak tastes like?"
Chen Mengxi still thinks that Liu Xun is a migrant worker, but she said so deliberately just to save face in front of Li Mengyao and her.
"You've seen through all this." Liu Xun pretended to be shocked, then scratched his head and smiled foolishly.
Chen Mengxi rolled her eyes at Liu Xun, and was obviously a little regretful about letting Liu Xun pretend to be her boyfriend, so she said casually: "I don't want to bother with you, I'll see how you eat later."
"Mengxi, what did you say?" At this moment, Li Mengyao's face suddenly changed. She immediately pulled up Chen Mengxi's hands and asked loudly.
Chen Mengxi was shocked by Li Mengyao's sudden change. She had never seen Li Mengyao like this before. There was nervousness and a hint of joy in her beautiful eyes.
"I... I said let's see how he eats it later!" Chen Mengxi frowned, with confusion on her delicate little face.
"No, not this one, the previous one!" Li Mengyao took off her baseball cap, revealing her shoulder-length hair. A hint of anticipation and nervousness appeared on her beautiful face.
"I said Liu Xun asked for a medium-rare steak just to save face!" Chen Mengxi's confusion became even greater.
What happened to her best friend? What's wrong with her? Is her period coming? Although she was puzzled, she still whispered.
"You said his name is Liu Xun?" Li Mengyao felt her heartbeat quicken, and her grip on Chen Mengxi's hands tightened.
"Yes, his name is Liu Xun." Chen Mengxi's delicate little face was full of confusion, but she nodded. Chen Mengxi had not called Liu Xun by his name before, so Li Mengyao did not know Liu Xun's name either.
At this time, Liu Xun was also attracted by the words of the two. Originally, he didn't care about their conversation, but now it involved himself, so he had to be careful.
"Oh, it's okay, he has the same name as a former classmate of mine." Li Mengyao glanced at Liu Xun, and then the tension and emotions on her face disappeared, and she said with a chuckle.
Chen Mengxi heaved a sigh of relief when she heard what Li Mengyao said. She shook Li Mengyao's arm and said with a sweet smile, "It's impossible. He is already 18 this year. Mengyao, you are only 18. How could you be his classmate?"
At this point, Chen Mengxi took out the contract between herself and Liu Xun from her bag. Li Mengyao took it and looked at it carefully, and then paid attention to Liu Xun's date of birth.
"I just said we have the same name, it's just a coincidence. Why are you so nervous?" Li Mengyao handed the contract to Chen Mengxi and said with a smile, but she glanced at Liu Xun unnaturally from the corner of her eyes.
Liu Xun looked at Chen Mengxi and Li Mengyao, and his eyes narrowed slightly. Why did Li Mengyao look so normal when she heard his name? Classmates with the same name? Coincidence? Liu Xun never believed that there were such coincidences in the world, especially in himself.
Although Li Mengyao appeared calm on the surface, she was already confused on the inside. Was it him? This was too much of a coincidence. They were both named Liu Xun, and he and Mengxi met on the plane returning from the United States. Could it be... that he was really that person
Both of them looked normal on the surface, but they were thinking in their hearts. The deadlock in thinking was interrupted by the sound of a door opening, and the food ordered by the three was placed on the table.
"Sir, ladies, I'm waiting outside the door. If you need anything, just call me." The waiter got everything ready, gave a professional smile, and closed the door and left.
Liu Xun looked at the two plates of steaks in front of him. There was no blood on the steaks. They were the same brown color as ordinary steaks, with gravy oozing out of the surface. They were tender and full of juice, making people hungry at the first sight.
"A qualified medium-rare steak is better." Liu Xun said to himself. It was obvious that this restaurant was very high-end, and the medium-rare steak was also a regular steak, not like the one in some other restaurants where blood was flowing out.
When Liu Xun first arrived in the United States, he also ate this medium-rare steak, but that steak... it was called medium-rare, but it was probably not even medium-rare. Blood was flowing, and when he took a bite, his mouth was full of the taste of blood.
But that was a deliberate order from above. Although his mouth was full of blood, it was at least meat. If it were just that, Liu Xun would not have left any memory of that hell-like place.
Before eating the bloody steak, everyone had to watch a "Hollywood extravaganza". Yes, it was a Hollywood extravaganza, that's what those lunatics called it!
In a square as big as a football field, dozens of people were shot, and every shot was a headshot!
Just imagine the scene, with the impact of an AK47 bullet, shooting someone in the head at a distance of ten centimeters, what kind of scene would that be
Head? It was gone long ago. Headshot? What does headshot mean? Liu Xun only then understood the meaning of the word headshot. Headshot means that the head exploded, and the eyes, nose, ears... nothing could be seen. There was only a white and red sticky mass.
That is simply not an imaginable scene, and it seems pale and powerless to describe it in words. Of course, it is not a difficult thing to do. It is just killing someone. If you have a good mental quality, it will be over in a flash.
But... For half a month, the meals were all tomato sauce and medium-rare steaks, bloody steaks, and butter sprinkled on top...
With that kind of food and the head-explosion scene earlier, Liu Xun swore that he would never eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes and steak again! But... he still ate it!
Liu Xun was eating bite by bite with a knife and fork. Before he knew it, two plates of steak had gone into his stomach. There was a faint taste of blood in his mouth, but he seemed to miss this taste very much.
"You can really eat this?" Chen Mengxi looked at the two empty plates in front of Liu Xun. There were still traces of blood on the plates, which made her feel a little nauseous. Although she often ate Western food, she never touched steaks that were less than seven-tenths rare.
"I'm going to the restroom." Liu Xun smiled softly, closed the door and walked out. After asking the waiter, he walked towards the restroom.
"Do you still believe that he is just an ordinary migrant worker?" After Liu Xun left, Li Mengyao whispered to Chen Mengxi.
Chen Mengxi nodded as if she understood what Li Mengyao said, and sighed: "As expected of a migrant worker who returned from the United States, he is well-informed, but he is different from the domestic ones!"
"... "Li Mengyao was speechless. She looked at her best friend with a feeling of not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Mengxi, how naive do you have to be to be so innocent
He can drive a luxury sports car like Ferrari, use a knife and fork skillfully, and when he goes to a Western restaurant, he can order dishes skillfully without even looking at the menu. Can a migrant worker do this
"Mengxi, I have to go home for something urgent. Here are the military uniforms and ranks you asked for." Li Mengyao took out a set of military uniforms from her bag, then looked at Chen Mengxi and said seriously, "Remember, don't lose it or let others know about it. This is not a trivial matter."
Are you kidding? They borrowed someone by using his military uniform and rank, and he was a captain at that. If the Nanjing Military Region knew about this, even if Li Mengyao had a strong family background, she would inevitably be criticized by people with ulterior motives.
"Okay, I get it. Are you still not confident in their ability to do things?" Chen Mengxi looked at the military uniform with his eyes narrowed, and it was obvious that he had already imagined his own plan in his mind.
Li Mengyao shook her head and sighed in her heart: "It's because I lent it to you that I'm worried. If it was someone else, I wouldn't have to say so much nonsense."
"Okay, see you tomorrow. I'll leave the car keys for you." Li Mengyao handed the car keys to Chen Mengxi.
Chen Mengxi was about to refuse, but Li Mengyao seemed to know what she wanted to say. She smiled and said, "Your father is at the Haotai Hotel, which is quite far from here. Besides, you have a temper like a young lady and you won't take a taxi. Do you want to drive the 11th?"
After saying this, Chen Mengxi stopped shirking her responsibilities. After putting away the car keys, she took Li Mengyao's hand and said pitifully, "Mengyao, you have to come and accompany me tonight, and go with me to see my dad tomorrow. I'm afraid that if I get nervous, I'll be exposed."
Li Mengyao nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I'll come over to accompany you tonight. Please send me the hotel and room number you are staying in tonight."
A meal's worth of time passed while Lin Siru was still waiting for a call. She believed that those people were so efficient that they would not let her wait for more than a meal's worth of time.
"Ding-ling-ling!..."
Just then, Lin Siru's cell phone rang. When she saw the caller ID, she pressed the answer button without hesitation.
"Mr. Lin, we found out from Miss Chen's flight that the man's name is Liu Xun. He came back from the United States. He must have met Miss Chen on the plane, or maybe he is Miss Chen's friend in the United States." Such words came from the phone.
"Oh, then you continue to look up Liu Xun, and then give me his detailed information." Lin Siru licked her lips lightly, revealing her charming manner. (To be continued)
