Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 125 - 123 Accidental Encounter at the Restaurant
Jiayi couldn’t help but curl her lips into a smile, teasing on purpose, "Anya, you’re almost suffocating Mr. Jiang."
Liang Anya then let go with an embarrassed chuckle.
At that moment, the waiter came over with the menu.
Liang Tao took it and passed it first to Jiayi, smiling kindly, "Xiaoyi, you choose the dishes first."
Liang Anya pretended to be jealous and joked, "Daddy, you’re so biased. With so many people here, you only care about Xiaoyi. In a few days, Xiaoyi will become your own daughter."
Liang Tao laughed and said, "So what? If Xiaoyi is willing, I really do want to recognize her as my daughter! That day, when I was drunk and not in my right mind, if it weren’t for Xiaoyi’s quick reaction to call the security to break down the door, your daddy might have already been dead!"
Liang Jue and Liang Anya exchanged a look and sighed inwardly. Xiaoyi’s merit wasn’t just that, she also saved Hongtai Real Estate. But she had been reminded earlier, so they didn’t dare to say more, and could only join in with a grin.
Jiayi was quite generous, "Since Uncle Liang is willing, I am also willing to recognize Uncle Liang as my godfather."
"Really?" Liang Tao was very surprised.
Liang Anya started clapping her hands excitedly, "Great, great, let’s recognize each other today while we’re all here for dinner! I can have another god-sister too!"
Seeing Uncle Liang’s expectant look, and the enthusiasm of the Liang siblings, Jiayi felt a warm current surging in her heart. She nodded to Liang Tao without hesitation, and called out sweetly, "Godfather."
Liang Tao was so moved that he was almost at a loss for words, "Good daughter, good!"
After they ordered, the waiter served the dishes, and the five of them were immersed in the joy of having just recognized each other as kin. They chatted and ate dinner.
Unbeknownst to them, the night had deepened.
Looking out from the floor-to-ceiling windows, the city’s nighttime seemed to descend, the azure velvet sky calming Jiayi’s spirits.
The events of the past few days felt like a dream. Once awake, it was time for the dream to end...
The voice of the waiter was heard at the entrance of the restaurant, "... Gentlemen, I’m sorry, but the top-floor revolving restaurant has been booked tonight by Mr. Liang, and the Liang family is having dinner there now. How about I take you to another floor first?"
Several men’s figures stood at the entrance of the restaurant, but were stopped by the waiter.
Liang Tao frowned and looked up, but as soon as he saw the people coming in, he relaxed again and quickly stood up to greet them:
"So it’s Mr. Huo... No problem. Since Mr. Huo wants to use the restaurant, waiter, go set up a table for Mr. Huo!"
At the words "Mr. Huo," Jiayi’s whole body reflexively shivered, and she looked over.
At the entrance of the restaurant, Lin Zixun was in front, and not far behind, stood a tall and imposing figure.
Who else could it be other than Huo Zhenyang?
Beside him stood two middle-aged men dressed in suits, looking like businessmen, one on each side of Huo Zhenyang.
It seemed they were probably the Boda Group’s business partners in H City, and Huo Zhenyang had come to H City to dine with several people at the city’s best restaurant.
Unexpectedly, they had run into each other here.
Jiayi pursed her lips. Although Liang Tao had invited him in, that man should be embarrassed to disturb others if he had any decency.
Huo Zhenyang’s gaze entered the restaurant, sweeping around, and finally resting on the girl by the window. He smiled, showing no discomfort at all, "Then, thank you, Mr. Liang."
Recently, Liang Tao also found out that it was Huo Zhenyang who had intervened in the Boda Group’s affairs, and the amusement park project was also under his management, so he was naturally polite, "I am already very grateful that Mr. Huo has decided to reinvest in our amusement park project."
Huo Zhenyang’s thin lips curved into a beautifully shaped line, his deep eyes narrowed slightly, casting an almost imperceptible glance at Jiayi, his tone laced with a hint of playful wickedness, "With such a generous return, of course, I’m willing to invest."
Return? That piece of land had just started, there was no return yet; where did this "generous return" come from? Liang Tao was taken aback.
Not far away, Jiayi understood the man’s implication perfectly, her cheeks inexplicably burning hot.
That night at the Century Grand Hotel, every scene, replayed in her mind.
Her palms sweated; she was the "generous return" the man referred to.
Jiang Pinhao saw her eyelashes tremble, looking unsettled, and handed her a glass of ice-cold lemonade from the side.
Jiayi knew he was trying to help her distract herself, she accepted the lemonade and took a small sip, immediately feeling a bit more relieved.
The subtle interaction between the man and woman, however, did not escape Huo Zhenyang’s watchful eyes, his gaze darkened in an almost imperceptible instant.
Especially when he saw Jiayi receiving the lemonade and smiling at Jiang Pinhao, the flame in the man’s eyes rose to its peak, a cold sneer emerged, his voice casual, "What, is Mr. Liang bringing the family’s young lady and young master out for a meal today?"
Liang Tao smiled slightly, pride evident in his tone, without missing Jiayi, "Yes, and my goddaughter as well."
Goddaughter? Ha, so she had taken Liang Tao as her godfather.
No wonder that young girl was so good to the Liang Family, even willing to sacrifice herself to save them.
But now, what? She brought along Jiang Pinhao, that pretty boy, to have dinner with her godfather?
What the hell was this? Meeting the parents?
Huo Zhenyang’s lips tightened, the smile vanished.
Tonight, he had invited several old business partners from H City for a meal at the best hotel in the city.
At the doorstep of the revolving restaurant, Huo Zhenyang had heard that the top floor had been reserved by Liang Tao and that it was a family dinner of the Liang’s, so he knew Jiayi would be inside.
From a distance, he saw at the table by the window, aside from Liang Tao’s children, there was also Jiang Pinhao. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
Jiayi sat across from Jiang Pinhao, occasionally engaging in lively conversation, talking and laughing, with the atmosphere extremely harmonious.
"Mr. Liang, aren’t you going to introduce your son and the two young ladies?" Huo Zhenyang revealed a faint smile, his voice light.
Liang Tao paused, then burst into laughter, "They’re just some kids, I thought Mr. Huo wouldn’t be interested in knowing them." With that, he gestured to Liang Jue and others, "Xiaojue, Anya, Xiaoyi, come here."
Liang Jue didn’t have much fondness for Huo Zhenyang, but since daddy had called, he had to bring Liang Anya and Jiayi over.
The siblings addressed Huo Zhenyang in a stiff manner, "Mr. Huo, hello."
Liang Tao pointed to the three of them, introducing each one, "This is my son, Liang Jue; this, my daughter, Liang Anya; and this is my goddaughter, Xiaoyi."
Huo Zhenyang paid no mind to Liang Jue and Liang Anya’s rudeness and disregard for him; his gaze swept over the three, finally settling on Jiayi, the smile in his eyes deepening, three parts playful, seven parts wickedly charming.
Jiayi felt unbearably hot, her heart also racing, fearing he might suddenly blurt out their affair.
Liang Tao also noticed Mr. Huo’s meaningful look at Jiayi and couldn’t help but speculate.
Xiaoyi was someone the elder Mr. Huo had asked him to look after, and she came from G City too; could she know Mr. Huo?
