<h4>Chapter 68: Candlelit Dinner</h4>


    In the five-star French restaurant in the high-end vi area, Jiang Zhi was nning to bring Lu Mian in as usual, but the reception manager raised his hand and stopped them outside. He pointed at theputer screen that disyed the words “Frozen” and looked troubled.


    “I’m sorry, Ma’am, your gold card has been frozen. We are unable to provide you with meal service for the time being.”


    Jiang Zhi frowned. She remembered that this ID card had been registered under Mrs. Yan Zhang’s name…


    She did not expect to be targeted after she divorced Yan Zhang and broke off with the Jiang family. She could not even eat at the restaurants that she used to frequent!


    The well-dressed noblewomen around her recognized her and stopped in their tracks. They could not help but criticize Jiang Zhi, “She insisted on divorcing Yan Zhang and betraying the wealthy family. Now, she can’t even get into the restaurant. How pitiful!”


    “Look, she’s even keeping a gigolo by her side. I wonder what she’ll use when she runs out of money…”


    Their words were harsh, and Jiang Zhi looked unhappy. However, she saw Lu Mian, who had been silent the whole time, take out a card and hand it to the reception manager. “Can I use it?”


    The reception manager was shocked when he saw the Diamond ID card number 001. He quickly led them into the hall respectfully.


    Lu Mian held Jiang Zhi in his arms. He deliberately looked at the dumbfoundeddies and said sarcastically, “Don’t step on others just to feel good about yourself.”


    Jiang Zhi was surprised. She stared at Lu Mian’s cold side profile and a hint of doubt shed in her eyes.


    “Why do you have a VIP card?”


    Lu Mian pulled out a chair for her in a gentlemanly manner and said calmly, “Cheng Yi gave it to me before he left.”


    The restaurant was famous for its romantic environment, and there was a live performance by the symphony orchestra.


    Lu Mian produced two bills as a tip and asked them to perform a melodious waltz for Jiang Zhi.


    Red wine, roses, and beauties. Jiang Zhi felt a little out of ce and dreamy. She stared at the pair of blue eyes in a daze until he curled his thin lips and said with a chuckle.


    “What’s wrong? Is the boss satisfied with my service?”


    Crack!


    The good atmosphere was instantly destroyed.


    Lu Mian cut the tender steak into small, bite-sized pieces and pushed it to Jiang Zhi. Then, he poured the red wine in an elegant manner and gently clinked sses with her.


    The bearing of a nobleman and his considerate behavior made the noblewomen forget to eat and steal jealous nces. Even when the borscht was cold, they still could not take their eyes off her.


    Lu Mian gently held Jiang Zhi’s hand, leaned forward, and coaxed her, “Although you look beautiful when you’re angry, I hope you can enjoy the time alone with me and forget about those unpleasant episodes, okay?”


    Jiang Zhi was amused by his glib words and nodded.


    The nobledies raised their knives and forks and said as if they wereforting themselves, “Look at that pretty boy. He has slept with countless women, and Jiang Zhi treats him like a treasure. It’s disgusting! Does he really treat public settings as his own home?”


    Such vicious nder could not hide the true envy and jealousy in their hearts.


    Jiang Zhi had a handsome man by her side, so she was considerate and gentle. As for their husbands, they were probably in some tender ce having sex with a vixen and did not see each other twice throughout the year. They only had an empty room and the so-called status of a richdy for them…


    Between the notes of the melodious symphony, Jiang Lu’s familiar voice exploded in her ears.


    “How unlucky. Why am I seeing her everywhere?”


    She held Yan Zhang’s arm and nced at Jiang Zhi with disdain. She sat at the next table with a reluctant expression and snorted twice.


    When Yan Zhang saw Jiang Zhi’s beautiful appearance, he was both surprised and resentful. He could not help but mock her, “Some women hook up with their gigolos after just a few days of divorce. How shameless! It seems that they can’t control their urges!”


    Jiang Zhi wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief and nced at the two of them from the corner of her eyes as she said with a sneer. “Yeah, inparison, you’re quite loyal. You brought your ex-wife’s sister to the restaurant for a candlelit dinner right after the divorce. I wonder if you’ll go to the hotel’s sex suiteter?


    “I’ll be kind enough to remind you, Jiang Lu. He looks quite mighty, but in fact, he’s beenpletely emptied out by his little lover.


    “His kidneys are weak. He won’tst more than five minutes in bed. You’d better think of a way to buy some medicine for him to nourish himself and think about his future!”


    Jiang Zhi raised her red lips and deliberately spread the gossip that they liked to hear to the surrounding noblewomen.


    As expected, the restaurant was instantly filled with discussions…


    “You b*tch, what nonsense are you talking about!”


    Yan Zhang couldn’t take it anymore. He pushed the table aside and Strode to Jiang Zhi. He raised his arm and wanted to p her twice to show her a lesson.
