Chapter 1273: Returning the Favor

The two of them had been speaking in low voices when unexpectedly a straightforward colleague sitting next to them widened his eyes in disbelief and said, "Such delicious food, and you still say it's not good?"

The moment Liu Ruying heard it, he laughed, thinking to himself that he had eaten even better.

Initially, he wasn't very happy, having not gotten the meal he expected, but now he felt somewhat proud.

The colleague didn't understand why he was laughing.

Out of curiosity, he asked, "Official Liu, what are you laughing about?"

"Today's food is delicious, it's just that I've eaten even better," Liu Ruying said quite smugly.

The other person subconsciously doubted, "Impossible, this meal is comparable to what's served in restaurants, where a single dish sells for several taels of silver, which I can hardly afford to eat."

Liu Ruying, even prouder at this, replied, "That's just because you aren't lucky enough. Anyway, Lord Chu's house has even better food!"
