Chapter 2567 Rival Invites Me to Dinner

When it was time to leave work, Zeng Xiaoya got up, took off her work clothes, picked up her handbag, and said to He Yuehua, "Ms. He, let's go, I'll treat you to dinner."

He Yuehua smiled and said, "Okay."

The two were once rivals in love. Oh, it was He Yuehua who unilaterally regarded Zeng Xiaoya as a rival in love.

Zeng Xiaoya never loved Dr. Lin, and she never even considered He Yuehua a rival in love.

Instead, Zeng Xiaoya repeatedly persuaded Dr. Lin to accept He Yuehua, who truly loved him. The main reason was that Dr. Lin did have feelings for He Yuehua; if he truly had no feelings for her, Zeng Xiaoya wouldn't have tried to persuade him.

I'm afraid that advising them will turn them into a resentful couple.

After the two left the hospital, He Yuehua said to Xiaoya, "Let's go to a local restaurant that's not far from both of our clinics. The food there is pretty good; it's all freshly made, not pre-cooked."

Zeng Xiaoya said, "You're treating, so you get to decide. I'm the one who's taking advantage, so it's not my place to say anything."

"Dr. Zeng, don't say that. What do you mean by taking advantage? I'm treating you to dinner to express my gratitude. You've helped me before."

"I haven't helped you with anything, I'm just telling the truth."

She knew that He Yuehua was referring to the matter of sharing a bed with Senior Lin.

Both of them were riding electric scooters. After getting on, they stopped chatting because there were too many people and vehicles on the road, making it inconvenient to chat side by side.

He Yuehua was in front, and Zeng Xiaoya was behind. She didn't know where the local restaurant He Yuehua mentioned was.

Zeng Xiaoya always goes home for dinner after get off work. She only eats out when she has dinner with her colleagues or when Zhan Yue invites her to dinner.

Dongguan is such a big city, with countless restaurants of all sizes. She really didn't know which restaurant had good food, or whether the dishes were freshly made or pre-prepared.

The journey from the hospital back to Zeng's clinic wasn't far, and the restaurant He Yuehua mentioned wasn't far from either clinic. After riding for a few minutes, He Yuehua stopped her bike in front of a restaurant.

Zeng Xiaoya saw that the restaurant's name was "Local Cuisine Restaurant".

After parking her car, He Yuehua turned to look at Zeng Xiaoya. When Zeng Xiaoya approached and the car stopped, she said to her, "Dr. Zeng, this is the restaurant. Dr. Lin took me here once and I thought it was really good."

"I sometimes invite friends or colleagues to eat here."

She added, "Dr. Zeng, my income is limited, so I can only invite you to a regular restaurant for dinner."

Unlike Zhan Yue, I can't just invite someone to a five-star hotel.

After parking the car, Zeng Xiaoya replied, "If you treat me to a meal, even just a takeout meal, I'll be happy. I'm not a picky eater."

When someone treats her to a meal, she won't say a bad word about it, no matter how good or bad the food is, because it's someone else paying for her meal.

The two of them walked into a local restaurant together.

The proprietress greeted He Yuehua with a smile and asked, "Are there two people?"

"Yes, two people."

The proprietress beckoned the two to sit down at a table and brought out a menu, handing it to He Yuehua.

He Yuehua did not open the menu, but handed it to Zeng Xiaoya so that Zeng Xiaoya could order.

"Miss He, please order. You've eaten here before, so you know what dishes are good. I'm not picky, I'll eat whatever you order."

Since Zeng Xiaoya had said so, He Yuehua ordered the food herself.

She ordered two of the restaurant's signature dishes, along with a vegetable dish and a soup.

Since it was just the two of them eating, she didn't order too many dishes.

Three dishes and a soup, there's a chance it might be a little too much.

The proprietress brought them a pot of hot tea.

"They are all made to order, so you have to wait a little while."

Zeng Xiaoya said, "I understand."

Soon after, the restaurant tables were full of people.

It's clear that the food at this restaurant is genuinely good.

Otherwise, business wouldn't be so good.

He Yuehua said to Zeng Xiaoya, "It's a good thing we arrived early, otherwise we would have had to wait a long time to eat."

"Dr. Zeng, how are you and Mr. Zhan doing now?"

He Yuehua asked.

Zeng Xiaoya said, "Zhan Yue and I are good friends. We both have to work, but when we have free time after get off work, we meet up to go out to see a movie or go shopping. He has a lot of questions to ask me about when he renovates his house."

“Sometimes I accompany him to buy building materials for home renovation; that’s how it usually goes.”

The two weren't friends, so Zeng Xiaoya wouldn't go into too much detail. She and Zhan Yue already had feelings for each other, and whether Zhan Yue confessed or not, she knew that Zhan Yue loved her.

If Zhan Yue didn't love her, he wouldn't have been so good to her.

He had too many choices, but he was distant and indifferent to other girls, never giving them a chance, which was completely different from his attitude towards her.

One time, Zeng Xiaoya got off work a little early, and the two of them had arranged to have hot pot together. She went to Zhan Yue's company to wait for him and happened to see Zhan Yue rejecting a gift from a suitor and her invitation to dinner.

Zhan Yue's attitude was very cold. The admirer he rejected was young, beautiful, and had a good temperament. In terms of appearance, she was a perfect match for Zhan Yue. After being rejected by Zhan Yue, the girl left with red eyes.

He was driving a luxury car worth millions, so Zeng Xiaoya concluded that her suitor was a rich heiress.

It should be a good match for Zhan Yue.

But Zhan Yue rejected her, and was very cold. She had never seen Zhan Yue so cold since she met him. She always thought Zhan Yue was a gentle and warm man.

Only after that day did she realize that Zhan Yue only acted gentle and refined in front of her.

His warmth was reserved only for her.

Therefore, even though Zhan Yue hasn't officially confessed his feelings, Zeng Xiaoya believes that Zhan Yue is sincere towards her.

Zhan Yue has been acting a bit mysterious lately, and Zeng Xiaoya guessed that he might be preparing a place to confess his feelings.

He said he wanted to leave his beloved with beautiful memories.

He Yuehua smiled and said, "It sounds so sweet, Dr. Zeng. Mr. Zhan must be sincere towards you. I had only heard that the Zhan family was the richest family before, but I didn't know much about them. We ordinary people are not from the same world as them."

"I never thought I would get to know the young master of the richest family up close. Then I inquired about him. Dr. Lin had the most in-depth understanding, and I also learned a little bit from the side."

After getting to know him, I realized that Zhan Yue's feelings for Zeng Xiaoya were genuine.

“Miss He, let’s not talk about me. Let’s talk about you and Senior Lin. You came to see me today because of Senior Lin.”

Zeng Xiaoya steered the conversation back to He Yuehua.

She doesn't like to talk about her feelings with people she's not very familiar with.

He Yuehua poured herself a cup of tea and half a cup for Zeng Xiaoya. She picked up the disposable cup, drank half a cup of tea, put the cup down, and without looking at Zeng Xiaoya, said, "Dr. Lin's mother went to the hospital and scolded you."

"Dr. Lin was very angry and felt sorry for you. He was too ashamed to even go to your clinic again."

"He sent his parents back to their hometown and was depressed for a while."

When He Yuehua mentioned the depressed Dr. Lin, her eyes showed heartache.
