Chapter 654 Guest
The little fat man sighed softly, "I kind of regret coming here. Can I change the restaurant now?"
"Why? This restaurant feels pretty good."
"I suddenly felt like I had no appetite. I had to be beaten after eating, which was a bit of a loss."
"What's wrong with you? Val is happy to have a girlfriend."
"You're right, I would have been very happy before, but now...
I'm dumped.
I also know it shouldn't be like this, but I can't be happy. "
Luke patted his brother's cheek and said, "People's hearts are complicated. Don't think too much. Have a good meal and I won't beat you up."
"Are you pitying me? I feel even more uncomfortable."
Luke "..."
Bah, so cheap.
The little fat man asked, "Should we go say hello?"
Luke asked back, "Do you think Val wants to see you now?"
The little fat man looked at the menu and said, "Actually, I'm a little worried about Val's wallet. A meal here can cover his weekly salary.
If we keep dating for a long time, wouldn't we have to borrow loan sharks?
This is not a long-term solution. "
Luke shrugged, "Maybe the other party paid."
"Isn't Val just eating soft food?" The little fat man took another peek and shook his head, "I would rather believe that he won the lottery than that he has such ability.
No rich woman would like Val's type. "
"Hey, don't talk about your uncle like that." Luke glared at the little fat man, "If mom hears it, you will be miserable."
"Speaking of mom, I think I should keep a souvenir." The little fat man took out his mobile phone and took a photo, and asked with a smile, "What do you think I can get from my mom in exchange for this photo?"
Luke spread his hands, "A meal of fried chicken and pizza."
The little fat man curled his lips, "I think so too.
Brother, you are still good to me.
No one else would take me to such an expensive restaurant. "
Luke took out his phone and said, "Can you say it again? I want to record this sentence."
The little fat man chuckled, "Next time."
"There will be no next time." Luke would be crazy to bring him to this kind of restaurant again.
It's expensive for one thing, but it's weird for two men to come here.
After ordering the food, the little fat man was not idle and took pictures with his mobile phone.
If you come to such an expensive restaurant to eat, it would be a big loss if you don’t post it on Facebook.
Soon, plates of exquisite dishes were served, and the little fat man took pictures first and then tasted them.
In the past two years, Luke has also eaten in many high-end restaurants. In his opinion, the dishes in high-end restaurants have three characteristics: first, good ingredients, second, complicated cooking methods, and third, exquisite presentation.
What Luke values most is the ingredients.
Take a pan-fried steak as an example. The taste of different types of cattle, different parts, and different methods can be said to be completely different.
Luke used to think that very expensive beef was an IQ tax, but after eating it, he discovered that the quality of the meat is really good. It doesn't taste fishy at all. If you eat ordinary beef, the shredded meat will feel thick, hard, and fishy. firewood.
Food can cheer up the mood and make the little fat man forget his temporary unhappiness.
Both brothers have big appetites, and unlike other guests on a date, they ate without any scruples, and the dishes they ordered were equivalent to four people at other tables.
When the meal was almost done, Luke looked back at Val's dining table. He was chatting happily with his female companion, and he didn't seem to notice the two brothers.
Luke took a sip of red wine, "I should go say hello."
The little fat man swallowed the food in his mouth, "Didn't you say that Val shouldn't want to be disturbed by us?"
“First, what I’m saying is that Val doesn’t want to see you.
Second, we were almost done eating and gave Val enough personal space that it wouldn’t interfere with their date.
Third, you will know in a moment. "
…
The other side of the restaurant.
Val was smiling, waving his right arm, and chatting enthusiastically with his female companion.
His female companion is a blonde with short hair, big eyes, big blue earrings, and a black skirt.
A waiter came over with a bottle of red wine and said, "Madam, sir, this is your red wine."
Val glanced at the waiter and said, "We didn't ask for red wine."
The waiter pointed to the seat by the window, "Mr. Li from table 12 gave it to you."
Val turned his head and looked back, and found Luke waving to him, and next to him was a fat man with a smirk on his face.
Val was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, waved his hand and said to the waiter, "Put the red wine here."
The blonde asked, "Is he your friend?"
"Those two bad boys are my nephews."
"Do you want to go over and say hello to them?"
"No, it's my nephew. I will contact them later."
The blonde picked up the wine glass and raised it to Luke's table, "They know we're eating in this restaurant?"
Val explained, “I didn’t tell them.
I guess we met by chance. "
The blonde nodded and said nothing more.
On the other side, the little fat man was startled, "I can see clearly this time, Val's female companion is quite beautiful."
"Don't keep staring at people, it's very rude."
"Is that bottle of red wine you sent expensive?"
"It's okay."
The little fat man curled his lips, "Didn't Val say anything?"
"I didn't expect him to express anything, and the bottle of wine wasn't given to him." Luke recalled the feeling of going to a high-end restaurant for the first time, feeling a little awkward, uneasy, and not used to it.
Therefore, there is no need to ask too much from Val.
Understanding family is the most important thing.
After eating, Luke took the little fat man and left the restaurant.
As soon as the two of them reached the door of the restaurant, a waitress caught up with them and said, "Mr. Li, please wait a moment."
"Is there a problem?"
The waitress held a box in her hand and said, "This is a gift from Miss Julio Eaton at table 7 to you two.
Our restaurant's special cheesecake. "
"I know this kind of cake. It is said to be the signature dessert of this restaurant. It is very famous, very beautiful, and very expensive. Many girls like it." The little fat man took the cake and asked Luke, "That Julio? Miss Eaton should be my uncle's female companion. Should we go and thank her?"
"Another day." Luke added in his mind, if there is still a chance to meet.
"I'll go drive, wait here, don't get lost."
"Come on, I'm not a child." The little fat man walked down the steps of the restaurant with the cake in his hand. He couldn't help but look back and forced a smile.
"So be it……
It's time to let go. "
"Ouch..."
A cat roar sounded, and a cool black Hellcat with tough lines drove over.
The little fat man put the cake in the trunk and got into the passenger seat. "Drive slowly, I don't want to give mom a broken cake."
"As commanded."
Luke slowly stepped on the accelerator. Although he accelerated as slowly as possible, there was still a unique roar of an oil truck, with an unspeakable violent aesthetic.
Luke handed the black key to the little fat man, "This key is for you."
"What's the meaning?"
"When you become an adult, I can lend you this car. If you drive this car to the school gate, no girl will dislike you."
"I thought you were going to give this car to me?"
"No, this car is not suitable for you, specifically at your age."
"Then what kind of car is suitable for me?"
"A little more space."
"Then why don't you buy one with more space?"
Luke smiled, "I have a Raptor, and I also have a big, comfortable house."
fatty"……"
"Brother, don't be shy, I came from that age too." Luke teased, then said seriously,
"I know you're sad...
But I still hope you can get over your broken love as soon as possible. "
"I will." The little fat man put the key back on the armrest, "Thank you for staying with me today and taking me to a big meal.
I'll return the key to you first, and then I can borrow it from you when I can drive. "
"OK, I just want you to be happy."
"I won't be sad for too long. After all, I still have you, mom, grandpa, Val, dad, grandpa, grandma...
I know you all love me. "
…
The next afternoon the weather was clear and the breeze was blowing.
Luke's house welcomed a guest, a Latina beauty with a slender figure and bulging back.
Ortie Dean of Pinkerton Detective Agency.
"Orti, long time no see." Luke opened his arms and greeted him.
"Luke, congratulations on moving into your new home. The new house is very beautiful." Orti handed Luke a delicate gift box with the Ray-Ban logo printed on it, "This is for you."
"Thank you." Luke opened the box. Inside was a pair of exquisite sunglasses with gray alloy frames and dark green lenses. They looked very high-end and elegant.
"It's beautiful." Luke took out his sunglasses and tried them on. "It's very comfortable. I like them very much."
"It suits you very well." Orti turned and looked around the yard. "Your new home is very beautiful. I like the style of this house and the big trees around the yard."
"Come on, let me show you around."
Luke led Orti around the new house, most of which included the yard, living room, kitchen, dining room, entertainment room, etc.
Afterwards, he took her to have afternoon tea under the pergola in the yard.
Luke poured her a cup of tea, "This is Chinese green tea Maojian. How do you like it?"
Orti picked up the tea cup, followed Luke's example, smelled the tea, and took a sip. "The taste is very light and has a special aroma. I like it very much."
"Take some with you when you go."
"Thank you." Orti put down the tea cup and asked, "Are you busy with work recently?"
"Still the same."
"Want to go on vacation?"
Luke smiled, "Will you come with me?"
"I want to go too, but unfortunately I haven't been able to leave Los Angeles for a while." Orti changed the topic and took out a document from his bag, "The firm has received a commission, and the commission location is in Las Vegas. ,Are you interested?"
"What is the specific mission?"
"The client is the vice president of a hotel. Two days ago, his hotel received a letter saying that he would give the hotel a big gift on Thanksgiving Day." Orti took out his mobile phone and showed Luke a photo.
The photo shows the content of the letter. Although the language does not mean to threaten, it is written with red paint, and there is a bloody skull at the bottom of the letter, giving people an eerie feeling.
Luke shrugged, "Could it be a prank?"
Orti said, "The hotel executives thought so at first, thinking it was a prank, but after a careful investigation, they still couldn't find the person who delivered the letter.
The next day, a similar letter appeared in the vice president's office again." Orti flicked the screen of his mobile phone with his slender fingers, showing another letter.
The content was the same, and there was still a bloody skull logo, but this time there were blood-red tears in the skull's eyes.
Orti continued, "It is difficult for outsiders to enter the vice president's office. The hotel executives realized the serious commonality of the problem. They were worried that the hotel would be attacked on Thanksgiving Day, causing huge losses to the hotel, so they wanted to hire you to investigate this matter."
"How much is the commission?"
"The initial commission is $200,000. If you can find the person who wrote the threatening letter before Thanksgiving, the hotel will pay another $300,000."
"What if there is no attack on Thanksgiving Day?"
"The $200,000 will be paid as well."
"It sounds good."
Luke accepted the task. No matter whether he could catch the person who wrote the threatening letter, he could make money to buy the Hellcat.
Speaking of Las Vegas, he really missed it.
