The two waited while drinking tea. Zhang Lei tilted her head and looked at Zhou Xuan with curiosity in her eyes. After a while, she asked, "Zhou Xuan, can you tell me about yourself?"
"Talking about me? What's there to say about me?" Zhou Xuan asked in surprise. "I don't have three heads and six arms!"
Zhang Lei shook her head, sighed, and then said, "I've never seen anyone as strange as you. Young, yet your skills are like those of legendary martial arts masters. You can injure people with flying flowers and plucking leaves. I wouldn't say you're invincible against ten thousand, but I've certainly seen you defeat a hundred. You're incredibly skilled. If you said you came from the deep mountains, you could just casually pull out a bank card with seven or eight billion in it. Just who are you?"
Zhou Xuan gave an awkward smile. He didn't know how to explain that Fu Yuanshan had deliberately hidden his identity to prevent others from knowing it, so he didn't know how to explain it to Zhang Lei either. After thinking for a moment, he simply pretended to be confused and said nothing.
Zhang Lei watched Zhou Xuan try to hide his expression by drinking tea and water, then sighed again, "Fine, don't tell me then. Anyway, you'll have to treat me to meals every day. With so much money, you could eat lavish meals every day and still not go broke, you probably wouldn't even finish the interest!"
Zhou Xuan didn't care about this. He was never stingy as long as money could solve the problem. He really didn't know that there was 7.1 billion in that bank card. He had never figured out how much property and cash he had, and he had never paid attention to it, so he had no impression of it at all.
Zhang Lei then asked softly, "Is it true that you have a beautiful wife?"
Zhou Xuan quickly nodded and said, "It's true!"
"So, do you think I'm pretty?" Zhang Lei asked Zhou Xuan with a half-smile.
Zhou Xuan was taken aback. He was most afraid of hearing or answering questions from girls. Zhang Lei was indeed a very pretty girl, but compared to his Yingying, she was still a bit lacking. Perhaps others wouldn't think so, but in Zhou Xuan's heart, Fu Ying was the most beautiful.
“Li Liang!” Zhou Xuan nodded in reply. “Just say the facts.” If we say the opposite, Zhang Lei probably won’t be happy either. It’s just a meal. Why make such a fuss?
"Then, between me and your wife, who is more beautiful?" Zhang Lei persisted, determined to get to the bottom of things.
Zhou Xuan paused for a moment, thought for a second, and then said, "My wife is beautiful!"
Zhang Lei bit her lip and snorted, saying, "Looks like you're still very protective of your wife. You're just hot-tempered, aren't you? These days, a man should still have some manly spirit. What kind of future is it if you're tied down by a woman in everything?"
Zhou Xuan was speechless. Why did Zhang Lei keep bringing this up? It's just a meal, not a heart-to-heart talk. Besides, even if we were to talk about our feelings, I wouldn't talk to her about it.
There was a soft knock on the door, then the door was pushed open, and a waitress came in carrying dishes.
The waitress brought the dishes to the large round table and said, "Sir, Madam, please enjoy your meal!"
Upon hearing the waitress's clear and melodious voice, Zhou Xuan and Zhang Lei were both startled and looked up at her.
When Zhou Xuan saw the waitress's face, he was immediately surprised and exclaimed "Ah!" Although the waitress was wearing the store's uniform, her face was delicate and beautiful, like a fairy in a painting. Who else could it be but Fu Ying?
Zhou Xuan was surprised that Fu Ying had become a waitress and appeared in this place, while Zhang Lei was surprised that the waitresses in the restaurant were so beautiful. How could such a beautiful girl stay in a waitress position? If she wanted to, there would be countless jobs waiting for her, far better than being a waitress in a restaurant. Logically speaking, she shouldn't be working in a restaurant.
Zhang Lei was usually quite confident in her looks, and the men around her always fawned over her. She knew she was extremely beautiful, but now this waitress was prettier than her, and Zhang Lei felt a sense of inferiority.
Zhang Lei was surprised, but her surprised expression towards Zhou Xuan was also due to seeing an extremely beautiful girl. Everyone loves beauty, and who wouldn't want to take a second look at something beautiful?
After a moment of stunned silence, Zhou Xuan immediately pointed at Fu Ying and asked, "You...you...how did you get here?"
Fu Ying said calmly, "I work here, sir. Please have your meal!" She then stood to the side to wait for the food to be served.
How could Zhou Xuan possibly remain calm? He couldn't figure out how Fu Ying ended up in this restaurant and became a waitress, but since Fu Ying was here and in this state, how could he possibly eat until he understood what was going on?
Does Fu Ying really have to stand by and watch him and Zhang Lei enjoy a lavish meal while she serves them?
Zhang Lei finally sensed something was amiss. She tilted her head, stared at Fu Ying, then glanced at Zhou Xuan, and asked, "Zhou Xuan, do you... know her?"
She thought to herself that men are really no good; they all have impure thoughts when they see pretty girls. But this girl in front of her is so beautiful that even Zhang Lei can't bring herself to dislike her.
Fu Ying's expression was strange, but she answered Zhang Lei's question very politely: "Whether he knows me or not, I don't know, but I definitely don't know him. Sir, Miss, please have your meal!"
"Wait, wait!" Zhou Xuan felt something was wrong. Fu Ying was obviously angry. There was nothing wrong with him and Zhang Lei going out to eat, but it was not a good thing for Yingying to misunderstand. Although he couldn't understand how she ended up working as a waitress in this restaurant, it must be abnormal.
Moreover, Zhou Xuan was certain that he had not mistaken her for someone else. This was his Yingying. He was certain of it based on her physical appearance and the familiar scent. He also knew about Fu Ying's background. She was an only child, and her parents were very loving. It was impossible for them to have any illicit relationship outside the marriage, and it was unlikely that they would have an illegitimate daughter.
In the Fu family, Fu Ying doesn't have a twin sister, unlike the Wei Xiaoyu and Wei Xiaoqing sisters. Zhou Xuan mistook them once when he saw them, but Yingying shouldn't be that possible, right?

Chapter 551 Famous in the Capital
Just as Zhang Lei was puzzled, Zhou Xuan stood up and grabbed the pretty waitress's hand, startling Zhang Lei. When did Zhou Xuan become so bold?
Zhou Xuan is certainly bold. Although Zhang Lei has only known Zhou Xuan for a short time, she has learned a lot about him through his actions. However, she has never seen Zhou Xuan be so bold when dealing with girls. If Zhou Xuan flirted with the waitress because she was too pretty, Zhang Lei's opinion of him would change drastically, and she would have to re-evaluate him.
But Zhou Xuan's words immediately alleviated Zhang Lei's doubts.
"Yingying, what are you doing here as a waitress? Where's Mom?" Zhou Xuan grabbed Fu Ying's hand and asked immediately, while using his supernatural ability to quickly scan the restaurant. However, he couldn't find his mother or Achang or any other family members in the restaurant, so it seemed that Fu Ying had come alone.
"I don't know you, how would I know where your mother is?" Fu Ying said sullenly, while throwing her hand away again. However, Zhou Xuan's hand was held tightly, and she couldn't shake it off. Since she couldn't shake it off, she let him hold it. However, her pretty eyes were staring at Zhang Lei.
From this point of view, Zhang Lei knew that this girl, who was prettier than herself, was indeed someone Zhou Xuan knew. Although she didn't know if it was the wife or something he was talking about, it certainly wasn't as the girl herself said, that she "didn't know him."
If they didn't know each other, would a pretty girl let a strange man hold her hand without getting angry? And why wouldn't she resist or get agitated?
Seeing that Fu Ying was still angry, although not very intensely, she was still angry. After thinking for a moment, Zhou Xuan realized that Fu Ying must have followed him to work. Since he took a taxi to work, and the location was the Municipal Public Security Bureau, it was very obvious, so she could easily follow him from a distance. He hadn't paid any attention, and even if he had, Fu Ying could have followed him from more than 200 meters away, so he wouldn't have been able to detect her.
Zhou Xuan then looked at Fu Ying, who was dressed in a restaurant waitress uniform, looking charming and cute. He couldn't help but pinch her cheek and scolded her with a laugh, "Yingying, you've got some nerve, following your husband around."
Fu Ying hummed in response and remained silent.
Zhou Xuan called out towards the door, "Waiter, come in for a moment."
The door opened, and a waitress rushed in. Seeing Zhou Xuan with Fu Ying in his arms, she quickly pleaded, "Sir, I'm so sorry! She's new and doesn't know the rules. I'll handle this; please let her go."
The waitress thought Fu Ying had offended Zhou Xuan, which was why he had grabbed her like that. She had been outside, and since Zhou Xuan and Zhang Lei were in a private room, the waitresses were assigned to specific areas, unlike in the main hall where it was chaotic and any guest could call on the waiters serving in the main hall.
So after Fu Ying arrived, she immediately and quietly discussed it with the waitresses. She gave them a thousand yuan and said that all they needed was a waitress outfit to pretend to be a waitress for a while. The job would be done once the guests in the room finished their meal. The waitresses discussed it and immediately agreed. The three of them could each get more than three hundred yuan, which was equivalent to four or five days' wages. It was only for a short time, and they wouldn't have to work too hard. They only needed to lend Fu Ying an outfit. Where else could you find such a thing?
So the three of them discussed it and immediately gave Fu Ying a set of clothes to wear in another empty room without any guests. Then they went to Zhou Xuan's room and the three of them stood guard outside the room to prevent any accidents. The restaurant was so big that as long as Fu Ying didn't go out and run around, she wouldn't be discovered. However, if she ran into the lobby, she would definitely be discovered.
Because Fu Ying is so beautiful, she becomes the center of attention wherever she goes, unlike ordinary girls who are easily overlooked when they go out in crowded places.
