Lu Ran's train was at one o'clock in the afternoon.
Chen Jingjing said she wanted to join him for a meal, and Lu Ran couldn't really refuse.
However, he hadn't expected the meal to be so lavish.
In Beijing, where land was worth its weight in gold, this restaurant occupied a substantially large area.
The restaurant's decor was elegant, built around a large courtyard complete with artificial mountain rocks, small bridges, and flowing water, quite tasteful indeed.
Expensive.
That was Lu Ran's first thought.
When he saw the guests inside the restaurant, Lu Ran realized that having money alone was probably not enough to dine here.
Hmm... it did match Chen Jingjing's style.
"Autumn Waters Homestead."
Lu Ran remembered the restaurant's signboard and thought to himself, "What a good name."
"Miss Chen, this way," a well-dressed waiter, smiling broadly, gestured and immediately led the way.
Chen Jingjing looked indifferent and nodded slightly.
