Chapter 2067: Chapter 2040: Jinxiu Restaurant
At the same time, after following the Mu Family servant and leaving the Mu residence, Lu Tianxing slowly turned his head to look at the mansion behind him, which had an ancient charm. He sighed softly in his heart, though his expression didn’t change. Before coming here today, he had already planned for the worst. Regardless of the Mu Family’s wishes, he was determined to take Mu Qingxue away. He would never allow Mu Qingxue to marry Tang Qingyun, because Mu Qingxue would be his woman in this lifetime.
Although this sounded incredibly domineering and gave off a shameless impression, Lu Tianxing knew that even if he was deemed shameless this time, he would never allow Mu Qingxue to marry someone else. Even if he had to tie her up, he would keep Mu Qingxue by his side, and no one could take her away.
Turning his head to glance at the Mu Family mansion once more, Lu Tianxing didn’t hesitate at all and immediately turned to leave. However, before he took a few steps, a melodious ringtone suddenly sounded from the phone in his pocket.
Upon hearing the ringtone, Lu Tianxing took his phone out of his pocket. Seeing the caller ID, a trace of confusion flashed across his face. Wasn’t Mu Qingchuan not fond of him? Why would he suddenly call?
Though a bit puzzled, Lu Tianxing still answered the call without delay.
However, before Lu Tianxing could speak, Mu Qingchuan’s voice came from the other end: "Lu Tianxing, I plan to dine at Jinxiu Restaurant tonight. I need you to reserve a spot for me at Jinxiu Restaurant. I want to taste the food there. Of course, you can choose to refuse, but don’t regret it."
With that, Mu Qingchuan didn’t give Lu Tianxing another chance to speak or explain the meaning behind his words, and he directly hung up the phone.
Hearing the busy tone on the phone, a hint of confusion appeared on Lu Tianxing’s face. Then, as if remembering something, a gleam flashed in his eyes. The corner of his mouth slightly curled up, forming a faint smile. After putting the phone back in his pocket, he didn’t hesitate at all and briskly walked outside.
...
With the arrival of late autumn, the temperature dropped, and the sky grew darker earlier than usual. By seven o’clock, it was already completely dark. The neon lights on either side of the street lit up, emitting a captivating glow.
Under the night sky, Beijing was shrouded in a kaleidoscope of neon lights, like a city of dreams and illusions, tempting people to lose themselves in it.
Jinxiu Restaurant is a very famous private restaurant in Beijing. In the hearts of ordinary people in Beijing, Jinxiu Restaurant is something that can only be admired from a distance, not to be trifled with.
Because Jinxiu Restaurant never opens to the public. All guests must make a reservation in advance to enter. More importantly, a reservation at Jinxiu Restaurant is not something you can secure just because you want to. You must be someone with power and influence to qualify. Otherwise, you simply have no right to step inside.
Precisely for this reason, in the eyes of many in Beijing, Jinxiu Restaurant has become a living business card. If you can step into Jinxiu Restaurant and reserve a spot there, then in Beijing, you are considered a person of overwhelming power and influence.
As a business card defining identity in Beijing, the cars parked in Jinxiu Restaurant’s parking lot have one thing in common: understated luxury. They may seem unremarkable, but their exorbitant prices are daunting, discouraging even the thought of affording them.
Of course, besides these, there are also some extremely dazzling supercars, almost all of which are top-tier luxury cars worth millions. It’s rare to see any supercar below the million-mark level.
Jinxiu Restaurant is lavishly decorated, grand and magnificent, completely devoid of any nouveau riche vibe. Instead, it gives off an aura of regal elegance, with soft lighting illuminating every corner of the hall.
In the restaurant, aside from a few top-notch private rooms, most dining occurs in the main hall, where tables are set. Sitting beside them are finely dressed successful individuals, chatting and laughing, though what they’re discussing is unclear. Without exception, their voices are very soft, making the entire hall notably quiet.
When Lu Tianxing entered from outside with Lin Yafei and Bai Zhiqing, they immediately attracted a lot of attention.
The men’s gaze upon Bai Zhiqing and Lin Yafei was filled with astonishment, but none dared to show perverse glances. Those who could enter Jinxiu Restaurant were naturally individuals with status and identity in Beijing, and they clearly understood Bai Zhiqing and Lin Yafei’s backgrounds. They also knew that standing behind them was a very formidable fiend. Offending this fiend would cost them their lives, which was simply not worth it.
After all, while beauties are indeed alluring, given their status, even though they couldn’t find someone with Bai Zhiqing and Lin Yafei’s charisma and allure, it was still easy enough to find someone relatively less captivating.
So these gazes merely swept over Bai Zhiqing and Lin Yafei briefly before settling on Lu Tianxing, filled with intense curiosity and apprehension.
Curiosity about what the infamous fiend, the Third Young Master of the Lu Family, looked like. Apprehension because Lu Tianxing was a truly fearsome fiend, someone who always stirred turmoil in Beijing every time he arrived. Surely this time would be no exception; it just depended on which family would be unlucky enough to cross paths with Lu Tianxing.
Compared to the men’s gazes, the women cast a glance at Lin Yafei and Bai Zhiqing as well but also focused on Lu Tianxing. They were also very curious about what kind of man could instill such fear in so many people. Despite entering Beijing alone, he caused such upheaval in the city, even making those raucous playboys who usually behaved as though they feared neither heaven nor earth go into hiding, not daring to appear lest they offend Lu Tianxing.
They wanted to see what capabilities this man possessed, what was so remarkably unique about him that even the entire city of Beijing changed because of him.
Paying no mind to the various stares from around, Lu Tianxing and his companions ignored them and called over a server. After whispering a few words to the server, the server respectfully nodded and led Lu Tianxing upstairs towards a private room.
