After entering the restaurant, Lv Hua looked around and chose to sit down at a table that only had three chairs.
"Too bad, Brother Ye, there aren't enough seats on this side. Why don't you find another table over there and take a seat?" said Lv Hua nonchalantly as he sat down and looked at Ye Fan with a smile. He was clearly trying to make things awkward for Ye Fan.
Ye Fan wasn't bothered. If Lv Hua didn't want him to sit with them, then he wasn't going to sit with them.
He wasn't going to beg them to let him take a seat at their table.
Ye Fan just went to find a seat in a corner and sat there all by himself.
"Stupid punk, trying to outwit me? You're nowhere near my level! Ha!" Lv Hua scoffed coldly and had a gloating look in his eyes as he watched Ye Fan obediently sit in a corner on his own.
Lv Hua then called for a waiter and ordered an entire table full of dishes.
The dishes soon filled the space on the table.
"Yan-Xi, Elder Kong, come and have a taste of these dishes. It's my first time in South America and I wonder how their food tastes like," said Lv Hua as he called the other two at the table to tuck in.
"Oh, it's not bad!"
"These tropical fish are pretty yummy too."
The three of them were happily eating and chatting excitedly at their own table.
In comparison, Ye Fan's table seemed a lot quieter and lonely.
He sat by himself in a corner and drank tea.
He looked so tragic and lonely.
Lu Yan-Xi suddenly started to feel sympathy for him.
"Lv Hua, why don't we call him over as well? We're all from China after all. It's good enough to just teach him a small lesson, there's no need to go this far."
But Lv Hua merely scoffed. "Yan-Xi, why pity him? A young fellow like him doesn't deserve any pity. Bah, don't bother about him. We'll just eat our own food. I'm going to see how long he can go without food. Trust me, he's going to walk over and apologize and ask for our forgiveness in no time,” said Lv Hua smugly. His voice was filled with nothing but disdain for Ye Fan.
He was even considerate enough to put some food in Lu Yan-Xi's bowl. The three of them just continued eating like nothing happened.
But none of them noticed that there was a young lady in the same restaurant who had her eye on Ye Fan secretly.
"Young Mistress, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with that man?" an elderly man who had been respectfully remaining by this young lady's side asked her in a low voice.
But the young lady shook her head. "No. I just feel that this man is different from the others."
"In what way?" the old man continued to ask.
She thought about it for a while before replying, "He's like a sword hidden in a box, so the bright gleam of his blade is also hidden away."
