149 Third Rejection
Although Zhang Huang had expected this, he still felt dejected when he was really rejected. His lips moved. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Shan Yue suddenly say, “I’ll only rely on my own strength to get into the Capital University!”
“Hahaha, you’re teasing me, the old man. Aren’t you afraid of scaring me out of my heart?” Zhang Huang’s mood fluctuated like a roller coaster in half a minute, but in the end, he was still very happy. “Then I’ll wait for you at the Capital University.” With that, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He casually stroked the white hair at his temples and approached Shan Yue to ask quietly, “Child, do you really not know who that “mathematical genius” is?”
Shan Yue did not want to admit it too early, so she firmly expressed that she did not know anything about this.
Seeing this, Zhang Huang did not ask further. He stood up and tidied his clothes slightly. “I’ve said what I wanted to say. Next, it’s time for you young people. I’ll leave first.”
Zhang Huang walked towards the door. His back was bathed in the sunlight. Although he was not as majestic as a young man, he did not look like an old man in his twilight years at all. The door opened and closed, leaving only Shan Yue and Zhou Xuan in the room.
“Miss Shan, it’s getting late. Why don’t we have lunch together?” Zhou Xuan leaned forward slightly, his sharp eyes giving off a sense of oppression.
The employees of the Zhou Corporation had never seen Zhou Xuan approach women. They even thought that their boss was gay. Perhaps it was even more difficult for them to imagine that Zhou Xuan was actually taking the initiative to invite the opposite sex to a meal. This was what many people dreamed of.
Shan Yue had always been decisive. She did not think too much about it. “Oh? Since Young Master Zhou has taken the initiative to invite me, I can’t refuse.”
Such a quick answer made Zhou Xuan at a loss. The first time they met, the two of them were still at daggers drawn. Shan Yue had also rejected the invitation to eat. Why did she agree so quickly this time?
If anyone was around, they would definitely think that Shan Yue was crazy. Such a handsome and capable man was beyond the reach of many people. Yet, she still looked indifferent. However, Zhou Xuan only smiled. If not for his interest in Shan Yue, those who dared to treat him like this would have died countless times. At this moment, Zhou Xuan was only curious.
The two of them went downstairs. As soon as they went out, they were followed by many bodyguards. All of them were dressed in suits and sunglasses, giving off a sense of security.
Shan Yue instantly revealed a mocking expression. “Hmph, I was right. So all your Zhou Corporation’s money is used to hire bodyguards. Is there a need for such a big commotion over a meal?”
With that, Shan Yue did not stand on ceremony at all. Before Zhou Xuan could get into the car, she opened the car door and got in. Zhou Xuan was also a smart person. Other than the driver, he did not let anyone else continue following.
In the car, Shan Yue chose a small restaurant called Wang Ji Restaurant because the boss’s surname was Wang.
That was where she often brought Shan Chen to eat. It was also one of the few places where she had happy memories after her rebirth. After booking it, she did not forget to ask Zhou Xuan, “Can Young Master Zhou accept this commoner’s restaurant?”
Zhou Xuan leaned back and closed his eyes. From the side, his clear jawline seemed to be carved out of a mold. “It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten home-cooked food. I want to try it too.”
Five minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of Wang Ji. The passers-by instinctively took a few more glances at the car because it was rare to see such a luxury car in such a place where the poor gathered. Of course, people were more curious about the person in the car.
When the car door opened and Shan Yue took a step out, a few busy aunties had already recognized her and started whispering. After whispering a few words, they turned around and walked towards the Shan family.
Boss Wang had never seen such a big scene before and could only quickly come out to welcome her. Fortunately, he recognized Shan Yue, who often came to eat, and began to approach her. “Miss Shan Yue is here. Who is this?”
