"Don’t get it wrong, it’s just that we all do the same. When someone gets married, the couple has to treat us colleagues to a meal," Wen Yun quickly added, "Not many people, just five, all nurses."
Wen Yun looked at Meng Yanzhi with some apprehension, afraid that he would refuse.
It’s their agreement among the group, and previously when others got married, it was always this way to host a meal.
She could spend the money to treat them, but if Meng Yanzhi, the male host, didn’t attend, it would be hard for her and Wu Ting to explain.
Moreover, she didn’t tell anyone about her marriage, so it already felt somewhat guilty; if Meng Yanzhi didn’t attend, she wouldn’t know how to explain it either.
"Okay."
Meng Yanzhi didn’t take long to consider and agreed straight away.
Wen Yun instantly breathed a sigh of relief and gratefully said, "Thank you. By then, I’ll arrange..." the location.
"Saturday night, Red Bean Restaurant." Meng Yanzhi directly chose the place.
Wen Yun hesitated, saying, "Let me arrange it."
She knew Red Bean Restaurant was on Jinyang Street. People who had been there said not only was the food delicious, but the taste left you wanting more, unforgettable.
However, the price was really too high.
"You just need to notify them." Meng Yanzhi didn’t give Wen Yun a chance to object. Seeing her somewhat disagree, Meng Yanzhi said, "They will find out about my status sooner or later, and if they find out I only took them to an ordinary restaurant, do you think they would feel disrespected?"
"Uh..."
Wen Yun paused, considering earnestly.
Meng Yanzhi said, "The private room there is quiet, and the food is great. Ask them to bring their husbands along, so we can make a full table."
"Alright."
Wen Yun agreed, and the next day, she told Wu Ting and the others. When Wu Ting heard about Red Bean Restaurant, she pulled Wen Yun aside quietly and said, "Wen Yun, I know your husband must have some abilities, but isn’t Red Bean Restaurant too expensive?"
"Tingting, don’t worry, he won’t put on a show." Although Wen Yun wasn’t clear about how wealthy Meng Yanzhi really was, from the houses she had seen and the wardrobe filled with clothes he bought for her, those prices were all shockingly high.
"That’s good then."
Wu Ting saw Wen Yun’s expression and knew she was telling the truth, so she was relieved and said, "Such a good restaurant, I have to dress nicely, else I’d embarrass you."
"Tingting looks good in anything." Wen Yun said earnestly. Although they were all nurses, everyone was nice, and they helped each other whenever needed.
Wen Yun valued the friendship among them.
Saturday.
Meng Yanzhi’s formal appearance amazed Wu Ting and the others even more. Among their husbands, one of them worked for Meng Yanzhi’s company as a junior staff member.
That person was dumbfounded when he saw Meng Yanzhi.
The meal was undoubtedly a pleasant one, with Meng Yanzhi giving Wen Yun enough face and acting like a good husband in front of everyone.
