Chapter 560 smooth talker (1/2)
Yue Ling remained glued to her chair as she watched Lu Tian approach their table. She couldn't help but struggle a gulp. It was like the man was the grim reaper and each step he took made her entire figure shrink smaller and smaller.
Just when he took the final step and was standing behind the gap between her and Madam Lu, she (Yue Ling) returned to her senses. She force a smile and chuckles sarcastically.
”Tian, we just arrived and haven't ordered our food yet.”
Hearing her words, Lu Tian almost stumbled in his own standing. The space between his brows crease into three tight lines and he looks at the table that only had 4 menus and 4 glasses of water.
It was already past 7pm. He thought that by now, they were already done with dinner and were planning to leave home.
As he thought this, his lip slightly purse with displeased written on his face. How dare his mother, aunt, and cousin invite his wife out and not feed her dinner on time.
Without saying a word, he grabs his wife by the arm. His other hand pulls her chair back and he gently yank her up.
”We can eat somewhere else.”
He hasn't eaten dinner too, so on the way home, they can grab something to eat together.
”…”
Yue Ling was dumbfounded more than ever by the aloof man. He was treating her like a person who hadn't eaten in days and he was the hero coming to save her.
However, knowing that words will not get pass him, she turns to look at the other three women for help.
”Tian! What do you think you are doing?!”
Madam Lu read the plead for help in Yue Ling's eyes. She abruptly stood up and intervenes.
Luckily, there were no one else on the roof with them to see such a scene unfold. If they did, who knows what kind of news would surface the next day.
Her nostrils flare angrily, and she yanks her daughter-in-law out of her son's grasp. Of course, she made sure not to pull too hard as she didn't want to hurt Yue Ling.
”Are you really not going to give, I, your mother any face at all?”
Once Yue Ling was standing behind her, Madam Lu stuck out her chest and glares with dangerous eyes at her son.
”I am your mother and I know what you are thinking.”
Both her hands curl into fists and she place them on the sides of her hips.
”After paying for all of our things today, at least let us compensate Ah Ling with dinner.”
”…”
Each time Madam Lu spoke her words, Madam Zhao, and Zhao Ya'Er nodded their head like the woman was a righteous figure making a point. However, when they heard the woman's last sentence, both mother and daughter choked on their own saliva.
Their eyelids turned extremely heavy as they stare at Madam Lu. It's not that they were using Yue Ling for money, they didn't want Lu Tian to know because they know how protective he is towards the girl.
And just like the cousin and aunt had thought, Lu Tian's eyes dimmed ten shades darker than it already is. He stares at his mother and spoke in an almost growl.
”What did you say?”
