Chapter 129 - 126: Looking Forward to Tomorrow
The car quickly arrived at the private dining restaurant, and Meng Hao, perhaps having been notified in advance, did not appear in the lobby to greet them.
The group, behaving just like regular diners, was led by a waiter to a private room on the second floor.
After settling down, Mrs. Leng glanced at the surroundings and nodded in satisfaction. "Mochen, this place is nice!"
Leng Mochen nodded slightly. "Yes, the food here tastes great! You should try it later!"
"Alright!"
In the moments between dishes being served, Mrs. Leng and Leng Mochen exchanged occasional remarks, creating an atmosphere that felt somewhat stiff. Li Si couldn’t figure out how to chime in appropriately.
It wasn’t until Leng Mochen got up to go to the restroom that Mrs. Leng and Li Si exchanged a glance. Smiling, Mrs. Leng asked, "By the way, Miss Li, we’ve been chatting for a while, and I still don’t know—what do your parents do?" She feigned casualness as she posed the question.
Deep down, she cared a lot about this; after all, even if her background wasn’t perfect, she wouldn’t possibly be worse than that ex-girlfriend of his, right? Judging by the girl’s attire, she seemed to favor the latest seasonal styles. If she was still studying, her family must not be doing poorly!
"My father used to be a designer," Li Si faced her gaze honestly. "But he passed away last year."
"Oh dear, I’m sorry! I didn’t know about that. What about your mother? Sorry, I guess I’m asking too much!" Mrs. Leng expressed her apology verbally, but her face displayed no trace of regret.
