Chapter 209 I'd like to have lunch at your shop today.
the other side.
On the streets of Han City.
A silver-gray Aston Martin One-77 is driving very fast on the road.
Sitting in the driver's seat was Li Mengli.
She gripped the steering wheel with both hands, her face beaming with excitement.
"Wow! Driving a sports car feels so exhilarating!"
Li Mengli shouted loudly.
Although the car windows were closed, people outside couldn't hear what she was shouting.
But she was shouting happily inside the car.
To be honest, ever since she got her driver's license at Mengli Driving School a few days ago, she hasn't actually driven a car properly at all.
Before, when she was at home, she always complained about her younger brother, Li Menghan.
He said that ever since he bought the Ferrari, he drives it around everywhere every day and doesn't even want to go to school anymore.
She thought her younger brother was really outrageous; he became so arrogant after getting a car.
However, now that she herself is driving this Aston Martin.
She finally understood why her brother wanted to go for a drive every day.
Driving this sports car is truly exhilarating.
As soon as I stepped on the gas, I was propelled forward by a force.
The engine sound is also very pleasant; the deep roar makes you feel energetic.
She finally understands her brother now.
If it were her, she probably would also be driving around the streets of Han City every day.
However, it was enjoyable as it was.
After driving for a while, Li Mengli suddenly felt her stomach start to rumble.
After leaving home this morning, she first went to a makeup studio near Maode Plaza.
After experiencing all those upsetting things there, she had no appetite.
After getting into the car, she drove around the streets of Seoul.
This whole process took more than an hour.
It's almost midnight now, and she's been starving for ages.
Li Mengli glanced out the window as she drove.
She realized that she had somehow ended up near Han City Tiandi while driving.
She thought about it for a moment.
"Yeah, if I go back to Beichen Garden for dinner now, it will take at least half an hour to drive there. By the time I get home, I'll probably be starving."
Li Mengli thought about it again, and suddenly she had an idea.
"Oh, right! Mom works at Prince's Residence nearby!"
"I haven't eaten at my mom's shop in so long. Before, my mom would often bring my brother and me some leftovers from the shop when she came home from get off work. Those leftovers were delicious, but they were cold after all."
"Anyway, I have some money now, and the food there isn't too expensive for me. I might as well take this opportunity to try it out and see what those dishes that cost hundreds of dollars a dish are like!"
With this in mind, Li Mengli did not hesitate at all.
She turned the steering wheel and drove the car into the underground parking garage of Han City World.
The car came to a smooth stop in an empty parking space.
Li Mengli removed the key, picked up the bag from the passenger seat, and got out of the car.
She stood in the underground parking garage and took her phone out of her bag.
She found her mother Zhang Ruoran's phone number and dialed it first.
The phone rang twice before being answered.
"Hello, Mom, this is Mengli."
"What's wrong, honey?" It was Zhang Ruoran's voice on the other end of the phone.
Li Mengli said very happily:
"Mom, I'd like to have lunch at your shop today. Right now, is that alright?"
When Zhang Ruoran heard on the phone that her daughter was coming to the restaurant for dinner, she sounded somewhat surprised.
"Hey kid, why don't you eat at home? Your dad hires world-class chefs at home, and they cook the best food for you every day. Why do you insist on coming here and wasting your money?"
Li Mengli pouted and said into the phone:
"Oh Mom, I've never eaten at your restaurant before. When you used to work here, I always craved food at home. Every time you came back, you'd bring my brother and me leftovers. Even though they taste good cold, we've never had a freshly cooked meal!"
Mengli then added:
"Besides, Mom, Han City Tiandi is quite far from our Beichen Garden. If I drive back now, it will take at least half an hour. By the time I get home, I'll be starving."
Zhang Ruoran remained silent for a short while on the phone.
Then she spoke:
"Okay, then come over. Is your brother coming today?"
"No, I came alone."
"Hmm... alright then. But the restaurant is a bit busy today, all the booths in the main hall are full, there isn't a single empty seat. Luckily, there's a private room for six people that's available, I've had someone reserve it for you."
Upon hearing this arrangement, Li Mengli asked in surprise:
"A six-person room? Am I the only one sitting in a six-person private room?"
Zhang Ruoran replied:
"Yes, this is the only room left. All the other rooms are full. It's fine if you sit alone; it's not like you're paying for a private room."
Zhang Ruoran's tone became somewhat anxious as she said:
"Alright, I won't say any more. There's another table of guests here who are asking for their food. When you get there, just tell the greeter at the door that you're my daughter, and she'll take you in."
"Okay, thank you, Mom!"
"Don't thank me, come over here."
The phone hangs up.
Li Mengli put her phone back into her bag, a very happy smile on her face.
She turned around and walked briskly towards the elevator lobby next to the underground parking garage.
She pressed the elevator's up button and stood there waiting.
The elevator doors opened quickly.
Li Mengli stepped into the elevator and pressed the button for the first floor.
The elevator doors slowly closed.
At the very moment the elevator doors closed.
A very loud engine sound came from the entrance of the underground parking garage.
A red Ferrari LaFerrari slowly drove into the garage from outside.
The car was driving very slowly and very carefully.
After turning a corner in the garage, the LaFerrari parked right next to the silver-gray Aston Martin.
The Ferrari's doors opened upwards.
Wang Jiaqi got out of the driver's seat.
The moment his feet touched the ground, he let out a long sigh of relief.
He drove very nervously the whole way, gripping the steering wheel tightly with both hands, his palms sweating.
Wang Jiaqi stretched his aching fingers and exclaimed loudly:
"Holy crap, this car is so exhilarating to drive! If I wasn't worried about crashing it and not being able to afford the damages, I would have gone for at least 300 km/h!"
Liu Dazhuang also got out of the car from the passenger side.
He held onto the car door, his face pale.
He looked at Wang Jiaqi and said in a very helpless tone:
"Hey Jiaqi, that's enough already! I could barely stand it when you were driving at 120 km/h, and you're going to go 300? Are you trying to scare me to death?!"
Wang Jiaqi burst into laughter:
"Haha, Dazhuang, you're such a scaredy-cat. You can't even handle 120? You're riding in a Ferrari LaFerrari! That car is perfectly stable even at 300!"
Liu Dazhuang waved his hand, indicating that he did not want to discuss this topic anymore.
