Chapter 145 - 141 Old Mo at Midnight
After getting in touch with Xi Yunmei, Li Xianglu shared her address and home phone number, and they set a time to go shopping together.
The two arranged to meet at the well-known ’Old Mo Restaurant’ in the capital, the nickname for the Moscow Restaurant.
The interior here is particularly unique; the ceiling adorned with several sparkling crystal lights, the dining tables made of marble, and the chairs are high-backed single-seat spring sofas.
The waiters’ attire is also interesting: black trousers, white collared shirts, black double-breasted Ma Family uniforms, and regardless of gender, all wore bow ties, immersing the entire restaurant in an exotic ambiance.
Li Xianglu and Xi Yunmei met at the entrance, exchanged excited greetings, and quickly went inside.
Li Xianglu briefly observed the furnishings and then sat down to play with the little kid, Lu Ping’an.
Just three years old, born on the first day of the lunar new year, Lu Ping’an was no stranger to Li Xianglu, the auntie who would often secretly eat with him, and he was thrilled. One moment he asked Li Xianglu to play with his toys, the next he wanted to sit with her.
Xi Yunmei was slightly surprised by Li Xianglu’s reaction. The decor here could be described as uniquely distinctive, more luxurious than many big restaurants in the capital, yet Li Xianglu just cast a cursory glance before focusing on playing with the child. She was genuinely curious about the young woman—is it her nature or Grandpa Li’s teachings that made her so calm? Only someone who has seen the world could be so composed.
Clearly, Xi Yunmei is a regular here, adeptly ordering borscht, cream-baked fish, jar-braised beef, a stir-fried seasonal vegetable dish, sliced rye bread for the main course, and vanilla chestnut cake for dessert.
