Dragon Clan: Thought So Far
Chapter 223 222 Zero
Chapter 223 222. Zero
Uncle and Lu Mingze didn't appear to be restrained. One pulled Lu Mingfei and talked about all the things that happened at home this year, while the other couldn't keep his eyes away from Ling. Lu Mingfei said to his heart, cousin, please be more careful. Not everyone in the world can blatantly take a peek. Not to mention Miss Ling’s ability, it’s impossible to say that she can be ranked in the first echelon in the academy. Let’s talk about the strength behind her. A few words can make your home live in an overpass.
Auntie was very silent, but occasionally looked at Lu Mingfei with a look of disgust and confusion. Boss Lu was very unhappy with this look and just wanted to end this farce quickly and never see her again.
The Grand Kitchen was obviously reserved tonight. After the uncle's family came in, they stopped accepting guests. Lu Mingfei leaned on the dining chair in a rather casual manner, chatting with his uncle while looking at the spectacular red wine wall not far away. The wine wall is modeled after the eight major wineries in France, and the production cost exceeds hundreds of thousands of dollars.
There is a classical piano in the center of the hall. It looks very noble surrounded by sparkling crystal decorations. It makes the place look elegant and luxurious. At the same time, it divides the space. It makes Lu Mingfei inexplicably think of what he saw when he invited Chen Wenwen to dinner at Aspasia a long time ago. The sunken wine cabinet, the little devil said that thing is also dividing space. The huge crystal lamp hangs from the top of the Grand Lisboa. It is majestic, but it only illuminates this one space.
"How is Mingfei's life in the United States this year? With my nephew's ability, he must be able to get along well even in a place like Kassel College." The uncle's eyes were still clear after drinking two glasses of wine. , obviously he is still very concerned about Lu Mingfei's matter.
In fact, a lot of things happened in the family during the year when Lu Mingfei left them. After his uncle made a lot of money, he saved a lot of money and was originally going to send it to his nephew who was far away across the ocean, but Lu Mingfei went to Chicago. Even after changing his mobile phone number, his uncle couldn't contact him.
Lu Mingfei was shocked. How did Uncle Xindao know that Kassel College had hidden dragons and crouching tigers? Could it be that he was also an intelligence agent secretly arranged by the college?
But thinking about it, it shouldn't be the case. Mixed-bloods are all elites. Even my uncle can't be said to be on the stage, but he is still far from the word elite.
"It's still related to my father and mother. They are honorary alumni of the college, so they can be cared for by the school." Lu Mingfei did not answer directly, but it was confirmed from the side that he was indeed successful at Kassel College. Not bad fact.
The aunt had been listening to the conversation between the uncle and nephew with her ears perked up. At this time, the corners of her mouth were lowered, almost showing her irritation on her face. Listen, listen to what you are saying. I am an honorary alumnus, and I am the only one who co-authored it, so I am above your old Lu family, right?
"You're taking good care of me, you're taking good care of me. I went to Shilan Middle School to ask Mr. Chen from the admissions office. He said that Cassel College is amazing. It sends top talents to all walks of life every year, including Nobel laureates and Americans. What kind of financial master is the governor? Mingfei, I remember you studied finance, right? What are your thoughts after graduation?" The uncle saw Lu Mingfei finish the wine in the glass and took the initiative to help Lu Mingfei fill it up. Lu Mingfei was a little flattered. He quickly stood up and moved the cup closer to his uncle.
French food likes to be paired with white wine. It was white wine when I was with Chaminono and the others that day, and it is still white wine today.
It's not a high-end product. Ling probably knows that Lu Mingfei doesn't really like drinking that much, so he just ordered a few. The one his uncle is drinking right now is Chateau from the Grave-Pessac-Léognan region in Bordeaux, France. Haut Bergey Blanc 2007 has light woody aromas of pear, white flowers, and almonds, as well as fruity aromas of candied fruit and peach. The taste is smooth and fresh. Although it sounds like a drink, it is a real wine.
The French food was not good at all, and the food was served slowly and with a lot of rules. Lu Mingfei and his uncle were probably searching for ways to ease the awkward atmosphere. They soon had nothing to talk about, and the first dish was finally served. It's French emperor caviar mixed with eggs, which contains Alaskan king crab meat, Spanish vinegar, egg yolk mousse and caviar, and the taste is slightly sour.
Lu Mingfei was used to eating similar things, but it was okay. After taking a bite, his aunt made an impatient expression: "If you ask me to say that Michelin is not as good as our crab shop downstairs, the hairy crabs this season are plump. At that time, steaming, stir-frying and deep-frying were all better than this.”
"Now we are going to live like upper-class people. Wife, you really need to learn to enjoy these foreign things." The uncle was quite calm, while Lu Mingze was like a ruthless rice machine and only cared about eating. Mingfei hesitated and pushed his share to his cousin.
Next, grilled Maine lobster with green beans and cabbage with lobster sauce and king crab avocado roll. The latter is wrapped in avocado and crab meat. The sweetness of avocado and the deliciousness of crab meat are immediately felt in the mouth. Grilled Maine lobster with green beans and cabbage with lobster sauce is the most suitable for Lu Mingfei's taste. The chef next to him explained that the red wine is 2006 Pomerol from Providence Winery in France, paired with French white pigeon goose. The liver rolls are accompanied by chicken broth, which is just right in your mouth.
Ling also liked this dish very much. Lu Mingfei used a knife and fork to share his own with the girl next to him, his expression unchanged and his heart calm. Ling's originally white and smooth cheeks seemed to be dazed by the sunset for a moment, and his cold eyes suddenly became like ripples in the spring breeze.
"You obviously have an unusual relationship with this classmate Ling, right?" After all, my uncle has been in social situations all year round. After observing his words, he became more and more certain that the relationship between these two people must be very unusual, or else they are descendants of the Lao Lu family. Anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that the little girl was interested in Ming Fei.
Lu Mingfei was eating dessert, French cognac cream with cranberry cocoa jelly. The sour smell of berries and cognac combined to create a wonderful taste. At this time, he almost spit out the wonderful taste in one gulp.
Ling's dinner plate contained lemon mousse sugar balls with French cheese sorbet. The sugar balls were blown out and were round and very cute. There were also popping candies inside. Hearing what his uncle said, he stopped and flirted. She brushed her hair around her ears, and her pink-white earlobes looked like rain and dew hanging on the branches under the candlelight.
No one spoke. Zero lowered his head and turned his fork, picking up the piece of French cheese on the fork. The pink color on his earlobes looked like it was about to spread to his cheeks.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Mingfei looked out the window. The night view of Tokyo unfolded in front of his eyes like a scroll. It was so magnificent and so incredible. Humans could actually create this kind of city that looked like a paradise to the ancients. He began to chew as if no one else was there. My own dessert, I shivered slowly after half a minute.
Lu Mingze's eyes became a little strange, and his aunt looked at Lu Mingfei warily.
He and Lu Mingfei have lived together for a long time. Although the relationship is not so harmonious, they are still under the same roof. Both Lu Mingze and his aunt know that during the three years of high school, this boy who suddenly became enlightened had a relationship with Shilan Middle School. How popular.
Even if the information is limited, like an aunt, she has heard of Chu Zihang's name, but someone in the school actually calls Lu Mingfei the second Chu Zihang. All the girls love senior brother Mingfei, while junior brother Naringze is a completely marginalized figure. With transparent filters, even those teachers with eyes above their heads praised Lu Mingfei.
Sometimes when my aunt goes to a parent-teacher meeting, she feels a little doubtful about life, because when everyone learns that she is Lu Mingfei's aunt and has been taking care of him all these years, they will show an expression of "What a loving aunt" and then line up. The team came to shake hands with her and take photos, and it would be best to put a confused Lu Mingfei in the middle.
According to Lu Mingze's opinion, if he was so popular, he would definitely turn into a romantic little prince and show mercy to everyone during the three years of high school. However, Lu Mingfei really followed the routine every day and only studied and exercised. Occasionally he went out to fool around with that Chu Zihang. He never saw him with him. Which girl has been alone together for more than ten minutes.
Now that I suddenly heard from my uncle that Lu Mingfei might have a close relationship with that Russian girl, my aunt and Lu Mingze were both a little confused and a little bit disgusted.
"Uncle, you drank too much, and now you start to act randomly." Lu Mingfei said softly.
Auntie and Lu Mingze were relieved and felt quite relieved. According to auntie's thinking, they couldn't compare to Qiao Weini, her husband couldn't compare to Lu Lincheng, and even their son couldn't compare to this wicked nephew, so there must be someone. Xiang Neng must have taken the lead.
Although Lu Mingfei's dull look may be very popular with girls, it's not easy for him to call others when he's in love, right?
If you think about it this way, as long as Lu Mingze can find Lu Mingfei first and bring his daughter-in-law in, it will be a big victory.
"That's it, Mingfei. Your parents have high hopes for you and sent you to Kassel College to study. Boys must put academics first so that they can get along in society." Auntie was very pleased. At this time, she actually He spoke a few words, but the pride on his face could not be concealed.
Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment: "I mean, Ling and I are not the kind of relationship uncle thought, but I have a girlfriend in the college, and she is also Chinese." After that, he turned over Xia Mi's photo. When he came out to show his uncle and aunt, Lu Mingze also came over curiously.
"Oh! So beautiful! As expected of the Lao Lu family!" The uncle patted Lu Mingfei's shoulder, and the aunt's expression became distorted as if she had eaten a fly. She muttered, "I don't learn well at a young age..." Lu Mingfei behind him didn't hear it, but even if he did, it didn't matter.
Zero started eating her portion of dessert again without much emotional fluctuation, but Lu Mingfei patted the girl's straight and slender thighs under the table.
Ling looked over with some confusion. Lu Mingfei showed her the phone, which had two rows of words written on it.
"It's almost over. Although I don't know why they appeared in Japan, after all, we are no longer in the same world."
What Lu Mingfei meant was that it didn't matter whether he was grateful or disgusted with his aunt. Given their status, it was estimated that it would be difficult for them to see each other again after this separation.
People's destinies are originally just a line in this three-dimensional world. Some people's destinies are entangled, and they stay together all their lives; some people's destinies intersect, and they just touch and create sparks, and then never meet each other; There are also people whose fate is a mess, and no one knows where they are going.
Lu Mingfei was someone who had walked on that road. He had a premonition that his fate would be long and bumpy, with no end in sight, but he probably died while searching for some answers. On his tombstone There would be no names of uncles and aunts, and the somewhat harsh and annoying middle-aged woman at his funeral had no chance to go up and deliver a speech.
The fate of the uncle and aunt was outside the door. They were destined not to have much interaction. It was the ridiculous blood relationship that allowed this group of people who originally lived in two worlds to live together for so many years.
Lu Mingfei had let go many years ago. In Tokyo, at that dinner party, he knew that no matter what he did, his aunt would not be satisfied. He already knew that it was a mistake in her eyes.
Since it was a mistake in itself, why do we have to see each other again? It only adds to the worries.
Ling looked at Lu Mingfei's eyes quietly. His eyelids were lowered, and there was no bright light in his pupils, but a little tiredness.
Ling touched the back of the man's hand. Her body temperature was actually very low, like cool water, as if she was comforting the suddenly tired guy next to her.
The boss did not arrange for his uncle's family to come to Tokyo. In fact, the reason was the same as what his uncle said. Lu Mingze was admitted to Austin University. His aunt was worried that he would not be able to get a visa, so he traveled abroad first. But their meeting here was indeed intentional by the little devil. The boss said it was very interesting to see the faces of ordinary people when the power they held in their hands was taken away.
Auntie originally had the power to control Lu Mingfei, but today, or a long time ago, she lost this power.
Zero is actually a person who is very good at observing people's emotions. She could see how ugly the middle-aged woman's face was. It was so ugly that it reminded her of her biological father who wanted to sell her to the National Academy of Sciences for human research, so Zero also I feel like sitting at this table makes me feel a little bit conflicted from the bottom of my heart.
Ling knew that it was difficult for Lu Mingfei to say that he wanted to leave. Tonight's dinner was originally just a meaningless joke played by Lu Mingze. She sips white wine with grace and then wipes the corners of her mouth with a napkin.
"We have a business event in the evening, so we can't continue to have dinner with you." A slightly formulaic smile appeared on the girl's face, and her eyes were as beautiful as platinum gems in the candlelight. Zero stretched out his hand to clasp the road Mingfei's wrist stood up,
"Grand Kitchen actually doesn't issue free coupons for events. The one you got is arranged by the president. This restaurant has been reserved by us tonight. Uncle and aunt, all your consumption will be counted in the club's account. Come on, so please don’t be restrained.”
Lu Mingfei's eyes flickered but he didn't refute.
Auntie's expression turned ugly at this moment, but she couldn't say any curse words.
"President? Club?" Uncle felt a little strange about these terms.
"Lu Mingfei is the leader of the largest fraternity in the college." Ling smiled slightly, somewhat condescendingly, "The president can use almost four million U.S. dollars in private funds every academic year."
