Trafford's Trading Club

Q: Have you ever been betrayed by your family?

A: Yes.

…

Of course, the term ʼbetrayalʼ shouldnʼt be used here. In fact---one should call it ʼcheatʼ at most.

Luo Qiu was not a narrow-minded man but he couldnʼt help but blame Ren Ziling in his mind for her ideas sometimes.

”…Didnʼt you say, just have a meal at home?”

”Will you agree if I didnʼt say like that? I havenʼt seen my future-daughter-in-law for so long since I got back from Lui Village last time! Donʼt you feel sorry for my hard work…”

”The main point”

Subeditor Ren pulled Boss Luo to a side after taking a glance of You Ye, who was waiting quietly and was not about to follow them. Then she whispered beside Luo Qiuʼs ear, ”Dumb guy! We certainly have to set up a good relationship with You Ye, so that she would not consider her future-mother-in-law a stingy woman.”

”So, this is the reason that made you choose this restaurant?” Luo Qiu asked curiously.

Letʼs took a look at the scene of this restaurant.

It was one of the most expensive restaurants in the city located on the top floor of a Star hotel.

Of course, besides the good taste of the food here, the rotating restaurant in the air had a 360 degrees aerial view of the city night scene which was also a selling point that made it expensive.

Boss Luo, You Ye as well as Ren Ziling were sitting in front of the door of this restaurant at the moment---As for the reason that made Luo Qiu come here, he summed it up on this way that he was hit with a possession technique that was far more powerful than the clubʼs power.

He must have been possessed by ghosts.

”Donʼt worry!”

Ren Ziling smiled and said, ”Itʼs free! My magazine boss rewarded the restaurant tickets package to me for my hard work, but it doesnʼt contain drinks. Anyway, you donʼt drink… What? You donʼt believe me?”

Ren Ziling had an impulse to take out the ticket to prove her words.

But Luo Qiu shook his head, ”I do not doubt the existence of the tickets, but I suspect the fact whether it was given to you freely.”

Ren Ziling suddenly glared at him and said incredulously and hurtfully, ”Luo Qiu!! You think that I am the kind of person that takes the bossʼs tickets away to keep his family harmony after seeing them on the table unintentionally and knowing that they will be used for a lover?”

”…Letʼs go in.” Luo Qiu sighed.

”Ahh? Wait! Make it clear, I am helping you and you just treat me like this?” Ren Ziling opened her eyes wide.

Luo Qiu… Boss Luo had already walked in.

”Unbelievable! Unbelievable!” Ren Ziling came to You Ye angrily.

Miss Maid should have followed after her boss, but this time, she felt that it was better to wait for Ren Ziling to take a seat… Maybe.

”Let me tell you!”

At this time, Ren Ziling took up You Yeʼs arm directly, and said by her ear, ”My boy is very dumb and knows nothing about romance. You may have to be more patient! But if you are wronged, just let me know! I will stand by you for anything, do you know that?”

She totally looked like an auntie now.

You Ye smiled, ”Donʼt worry, he treats me well.”

”Ahh, my girl.” Ren Ziling shook her head, ”You know, you will be totally controlled by him if you keep being so obedient.”

”Thatʼs okay, I will always follow his words.”

”Yeah, yeah, you think that is right too…” Ren Ziling nodded, but she suddenly found something wrong, saying with doubt, ”Wait, what did you say just now?”

You Ye smiled casually. She walked forward and pulled out a chair for Ren Ziling, then said, ”Hello, Miss Lizi.”

”Sister Ren! You finally came here! I am starving to death! Take a seat!”

Ren Ziling invited Lizi, too.

When everyone sat down, the waiter came forward, ”Customer, do you need to place an order?”

Ren Ziling replied, ”Not now, we still have someone on the way here.”

The waiter nodded, and he put down the menu then left. Luo Qiu asked curiously, ”So, is there somebody else that you have invited too?”

ʼAre these… really the tickets that your boss bought for his lover?ʼ

”You will know later.” Ren Ziling blinked with a mysterious face.

But Luo Qiu was not quite curious about this… as he didnʼt expect anything from Ren Zilingʼs so-called arrangement. Also, he smelt the sea.

As well as the smell of a blue star flower.

At this time, Ren Ziling suddenly looked to the door, and waved her hands energetically.

There slowly came a petite figure under the guidance of the receptionist. She looked a little nervous.

She was wearing a plain white dress with her head down. There was no other jewelry except for a hair accessory. Everything seemed so clean and pure.

She was Lui Yiyun, the girl who lived beside the sea.

When Lui Yiyun sat down, Ren Ziling said happily, ”Okay! Everyone is here! Have you felt the atmosphere now? In fact, the main purpose of this meal is to celebrate that Yiyun obtained the admission to the university, and the second is to celebrate her new life in the university! ”

After saying this, Ren Ziling looked at Lui Yiyun with an apology, ”Iʼm sorry, I have been busy all this time saying that I will take time to get together, but it has been put off till now. You wonʼt blame me, right?”

Lui Yiyun shook her head and waved her hands immediately to deny it. She was really embarrassed by this enthusiasm.

Ren Ziling continued, ”The last thing to celebrate is… the chance for us to get together again at this moment and this place!”

This woman, maybe she only wanted all of them to get together and have a meal.

”I didnʼt know Sister Ren would take us to such a place for a ʼsimple mealʼ...”

Lui Yiyun felt a little nervous and looked at Luo Qiu, saying carefully, ”I thought that we would just have a meal in a normal restaurant… am I dressed to simply?”

”It is fine as long as itʼs clean.” Luo Qiu said slightly. ”No need to care about others peopleʼs comments.”

”I got it…” Lui Yiyun nodded slightly.

Luo Qiuʼs words always made her calm, although this young man was not much older than her.

Lizi had just drunk a cup of juice; she looked at the others with interest while holding the cup with both of her hands. She then said, ”Sister Ren, do you know how I feel when I look at Luo Qiu?”

”What kind of feeling?”

Ren Ziling frowned, whispering at Liziʼs ear, ”Let me tell you! I will not accept a concubine to marry Luo Qiu! You have to hold on to your feelings!”

”…What are you talking about?”

Lizi suddenly didn;t know whether to laugh or cry. ”I mean, I feel Luo Qiu looks like a parent now.”

”Yes, you are right!” Ren Ziling suddenly patted the table with approval and she seemed to be shocked. ”This brat is like a little old man, who never laughs!”

ʼMaybe I should leave nowʼ… Boss Luo was thinking about a decent reason to get away.

Sure enough, he was still not used to such an occasion with many people.

ʼWhy do people like to get together?ʼ

Luo Qiu looked outside the window. The city was running busily in his sight.

He closed his eyes slightly.

In the distance, Cheese and Iron Whistle were hiding in a cement pipe lying on the blank ground in a basement. Cheese was speaking something while Iron Whistle was listening. Time passed quickly.

In the hospital, Hong Guan hugged his wife gently, while looking at the night scene outside the window, enjoying this peaceful time.

Cheng Yiran was discussing with the staff about the on-site program for Sunday.

San Er was cooking a meal, while Mark was watching TV with Xiaozhi.

Zhang Qingrui was reading a book, and the old lady beside her closed her eyes for a rest.
