Damn, it was that rider!
Hearing Dong Lulu's words, Ding Zehui raised his eyebrows slightly, but still said nothing.
On one hand, the two families had a good relationship, so even if the two weren't a match, it wouldn't be good to sour the relationship.
On the other hand, Xu Ning was indeed late, and it was understandable for Dong Lulu to complain a little, given her unfamiliarity with Xu Ning.
Just then, Xu Ning pushed open the private room door and walked in.
"Sorry, sorry, another order delayed things, my bad! My bad!"
"I'll punish myself with three drinks later!"
Deng Zihao unceremoniously gave Xu Ning the middle finger, and although Qin Xiaohan pinched him until he grimaced, he still winked at Xu Ning.
Ding Zehui was even less polite; hearing Xu Ning say he would punish himself with three drinks, he immediately took three glasses, arranged them, and started pouring beer.
Of course, it was only beer; if it were baijiu, Xu Ning would die here.
"Please!" After pouring the drinks, Ding Zehui looked at Xu Ning playfully, gesturing for him to drink.
"You bastard!" Xu Ning couldn't help but give Ding Zehui the middle finger back, then smiled and continuously drank all three glasses.
Making a ruckus upon entering, this was precisely a sign of good friendship!
If they, as brothers, had to be falsely polite and commercially flatter each other, then that would truly be the end!
After the commotion, Ding Zehui didn't forget the main business of today and introduced the two.
"Third Brother, this is my friend, Dong Lulu, who also works in the Imperial Capital."
"Lulu, this is my dorm's Third Brother, Xu Ning."
From the moment Xu Ning entered, Dong Lulu hadn't looked at him properly after the first glance.
Whether he was late or not was one thing, but the main point was that Xu Ning was wearing a yellow vest and looked disheveled, clearly a food delivery rider!
How could Ding Zehui have such a low-class friend?
A dormmate?
After graduating from university, they weren't people from the same world anymore, so why bother trying to stick together?
Because she looked down on him, and even felt that eating with a rider was a bit beneath her, she merely nodded perfunctorily.
It should be noted that when a man and a woman meet for the first time, it's not good for the man to extend his hand first, so it's often the woman who initiates a handshake.
And now Dong Lulu had no such intention, so this step was skipped.
Although Xu Ning didn't care about this point, he could still feel Dong Lulu's extremely obvious attitude.
Ding Zehui narrowed his eyes slightly, adding another label to Dong Lulu.
Someone who thought she was superior to others, her character probably wasn't much better.
Even though the two families had a good relationship, his lifelong happiness was at stake, and only his own satisfaction mattered.
At this point, the smile on his face had already faded considerably, and when he looked at Dong Lulu again, only the most basic politeness remained.
Xu Ning understood Ding Zehui very well and knew that he had subtly made a decision.
He didn't try to persuade him, as such matters could only be decided by Ding Zehui himself.
Of course, Xu Ning wasn't very optimistic about Dong Lulu either.
"Come quickly and sit down, let's eat first!" Xu Jiafei, intelligent and quick-witted, realized the atmosphere was off and tried to smooth things over.
Just then, Dong Lulu's phone rang.
"Hello, Mom, what's wrong?"
"Yes, I'm with Brother Zehui, he's introducing me to his friends."
"You and Aunt Liu can rest assured, we're getting along very well!"
After answering the phone, Dong Lulu spoke, not forgetting to glance at Ding Zehui a few times during the call.
In fact, her family's conditions were similar to Ding Zehui's, considered a well-off family.
Originally, Dong Lulu wanted to find a much wealthier family to elevate her social status.
However, her mother had discovered that Ding Zehui was also a potential stock.
Putting aside other things, he was now the Vice President of Finance for a group, and with the boss generally not responsible for the group's operations, he held immense power.
Perhaps in the future, Ding Zehui would become a prominent figure in the business world.
That's why she was willing to interact with Ding Zehui.
But as she was on the phone, Xu Ning heard Dong Lulu's voice, and his expression subtly changed.
He recognized her!
This Dong Lulu was definitely that "showering girl," that exquisite egoist.
And from her behavior since he entered, it perfectly matched this judgment.
A smirk involuntarily played on his lips, his expression a half-smile.
Not to mention that Ding Zehui probably wouldn't choose her, even if Ding Zehui truly had an interest, Xu Ning would definitely mess things up for them!
This kind of woman was not worthy of his brother.
"My mom's call, she's with Auntie, asking how we're getting along."
After hanging up, Dong Lulu smiled sweetly at Ding Zehui and explained.
Ding Zehui nodded noncommittally, his gaze somewhat distant.
Xu Ning cleared his throat, attracting everyone's attention, then picked up his glass and spoke with a smile.
"Let me tell you something interesting."
"Hmm, 'interesting' might not be the most appropriate word, it's just really bizarre."
"You know I deliver food, and today I encountered a customer whom I don't know how to describe."
"When I got downstairs to her building, the access control wouldn't open, and when I called her, she told me to wait two minutes."
At this point, Xu Ning turned his head slightly, looking at Dong Lulu with a half-smile.
Dong Lulu's face, however, suddenly changed; her eyes widened, and she looked at Xu Ning in disbelief.
But Xu Ning didn't consider her reaction and continued speaking as if nothing had happened.
"After I waited for five minutes, no one came down, so I called her again."
"She said she was already in the shower and told me to keep waiting."
"I said I'd mark it as delivered, but she was difficult, saying she was afraid I wouldn't deliver it after marking it as delivered."
"She didn't care if I was late or not; she only cared about what was convenient for herself."
"You tell me, how selfish can such a person be?"
"I truly pity her future partner; spending a lifetime with such a person would be like having eight lifetimes of bad luck!"
After speaking, Xu Ning gave a few dry laughs and drank the wine in his glass.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the private room became a bit strange.
Although Qin Xiaohan and Xu Jiafei didn't know that Xu Ning was talking about Dong Lulu, they could tell that Xu Ning had a hidden meaning.
After all, in this private room, only Ding Zehui and Dong Lulu were on a blind date.
Could it be that because Dong Lulu looked down on Xu Ning, Xu Ning told a story to indirectly criticize her?
Logically speaking, Xu Ning wouldn't be so petty, so there must be something they didn't know.
Dong Lulu's behavior was very unnatural; she knew very well that Xu Ning was the rider who delivered her food at noon today.
Damn it!
Ding Zehui's dormmate was actually the rider who delivered her food, what a coincidence!
What should she do?
If he told Ding Zehui what happened, Ding Zehui's impression of her would probably be irreparable.
Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth, a decision forming in her mind.
