Chapter 177 A Free Meal

"Then you must order more dishes today. I'm too stingy. I'm afraid that I may treat you to dinner next
year." Melinda ordered a few dishes and passed the menu to Kent. She didn't mind being teased by
him at all.

The reason why she came to the dinner was to thank Kent. She had caused much trouble to him, and
he had never complained to help.

"Don't mention it,"

Kent said, but he didn't order any more. He passed the menu to the waiter, and the waiter took out
something like bamboo sticks canister, asking Melinda to shake it.

"That's the rule of this restaurant. You can get one thing once you booked a room. What you can get
today will depend on your luck," Kent explained to Melinda with a smile.

"Why did you suddenly act so calm?" Melinda pulled out a stick and gave it to the waiter. The waiter
took it from her, opened his eyes wide in shock, and then smiled.

"You are so lucky, Miss. Here is a free ticket."

For a moment, both of them froze for a moment. Then they laughed at the same time. Melinda felt that
her luck was really good, and the waiter also said that no one would get this stick even once for a
month.

"It seems that it's really difficult for you to treat me a meal. Fortunately, my main purpose today is not
for the meal," Kent said, shaking his head. His every act and action was similar to that of the noble son
of an ancient family.

Melinda thought that this was the aura of the literature.



"What are we doing here if we are not for eating? To experience the richness of traditional culture?"
Melinda joked. She could only be so relaxed when staying with Kent.

"Emily will come to apologize to you later." After drinking tea, Kent said it in a profound way. Melinda
felt it was inconceivable that arrogant Emily would make an apology to her. What on earth did Kent do?

"Kent, how did you do that?"

"You don't need to know that. Just wait for her to apologize." As Kent said, Melinda didn't ask him
anymore. She trusted him very much.

"You are an extraordinary man, Kent. Let me propose a toast with tea to you." Melinda even covered
her cup with her sleeve like the ancient people would do, which amused Kent.

Melinda's gratitude was sincere and sincere. Kent clinked his cup of tea with hers and then they drank
it up.

"The way you drank tea reminded me of the time when you were playing Flying Flowers(a game that
people recite poems with flowers' names in turn) with your classmates at school." Kent put down the
glass. Seeing how mature Melinda was now, he could not help but sigh.

At that time, Melinda was really naive and childish. She would offend people sometimes since she was
upright, but she was popular most of the time, which made her two extremes.

Flying Flower was a small activity held in her major. When Melinda was pushed out by one of her
classmates to be a competitor, she had been so anxious that she had made up a poem. When others
asked her where the poem was from, she still made it up. However, in the end, someone said that he
was going to search the information on Internet, and Melinda had forgotten the poem she had made
up.



It was Melinda's embarrassing past. Now that Kent mentioned it, she felt embarrassed. She recalled it
and asked, "Was you there at that time?"

"My roommates told me that as soon as they got back to the dormitory, they said that the new junior is
very interesting," said Kent. At that time, he had a bit of curiosity about Melinda. He paid more attention
to her and fell in love with her.

However, all feelings would change.

"It turns out that I become famous after only one fight," Melinda said with a smile. She was well
protected by her family. Before going to college, she used to be a naughty girl. But when she met
Jonas, she only set her mind on him. She was frustrated and more courageous.

Since Melinda met Jonas, she had learned how to be sentimental, thick skinned, and forbearing. She
always believed that it was after she met Jonas that she knew this world.

What her roommates in college said most was that with her talent and beauty, it was not hard for her to
find a good man. But why was she only interested in Jonas who was wearing a poker face all the time?

Melinda always answered shamelessly. With her charm, why couldn't she find a charming and
outstanding man?

But only she knew how self-abasement and sensitive her seemingly dauntless heart was. She knew
better than anyone else that she didn't deserve Jonas.

"All the posts in our university forum at that time had your name on them."

What Kent said was true. Melinda just laughed to hide her embarrassment. Everybody in the university
knew that she was a high spirited and vigorous person, but she still made some people sigh for her in
the end.



They talked about what had happened in the university. For most of the time, Melinda was feeling
embarrassed. Until now, she finally realized how embarrassed she had been.

The dishes were served on the table one by one, but Emily did not appear. In the chatting and
laughing, Kent's face had pulled a long face.

"Kent, is it because I've ordered too little that you're not happy? If I had known I'm so lucky today, I
would have ordered a lot of dishes."

"Linda, I'm going to make a call."

Kent knew that Melinda was just joking, but he couldn't put on a smile. He didn't expect that Emily
would break the promise under his stern warning.

"No need, Kent," Melinda said and smiled as she stopped Kent, who was about to go out and make a
phone call.

"I felt more comfortable that she didn't come. I don't want my good luck to be tainted by her. I will be
thankful as long as Emily no longer sends someone to track me. As for other things, I don't care. I don't
want her to apologize if she is not sincere,"

Melinda said earnestly, trying to comfort Kent.

Melinda really didn't care whether Emily apologized. Moreover, she thought it was a daydream to ask
Emily to apologize before. Now that Emily was not here, she was more than relieved.

"All dishes are served. Let's eat." Melinda pretended that it was hard for her to start eating if Kent did
not agree. Being helpless, Kent picked up the chopsticks and picked up some food. Letting out a sigh
of relief, Melinda started eating.



Although nothing happened that day, they always felt that it was time for dinner when they arrived at
the restaurant.

However, Emily, who made them wait for her, was at home. She looked at her clothes carelessly and
her assistant was by her side, who was so anxious that she sweated a lot.

"Miss Bai, you have made an appointment with Mr. Jiang to apologize to Melinda today. Now, you are
already late. Let's hurry up."

The assistant was sent by Emily's agent, Sher An to take care of Emily, and she really disliked Emily.

"I've told you so many times. I won't go. You're as annoying as a fly. Do you believe that I'll fire you?"
Emily said impatiently and frowned slightly, while some light wrinkles appeared at the corners of her
eyes.

Seeing the wrinkles on the phone screen, Emily became more irritated. She took a deep breath to
control her anger.

"Sher has told me to let you go there today. You look gorgeous today. It won't deserve it if you don't go
out." The assistant was smart and glib.

She gave Emily pressure with Sher, but also praised Emily.

However, Emily checked the language by her own system, so she completely ignored the first sentence
and heard everything later.

"You're right. Many new shops in the shopping mall are on sale recently. I'm going there to have a
look."



After saying that, Emily went to the cloakroom to find a bag and match the shoes. It seemed that she
was really going to shopping, and her assistant was as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

"Miss Bai, if you don't apologize to Melinda, Kent won't let you go. You might even be in jail!" the
assistant said earnestly, but Emily chose to ignore her.

She trembled with fear when she heard the word "jail", but then she said stubbornly, "I am a famous
star. I will never lower my head to apologize to a nobody like Melinda. It's impossible for me to do it in
my lifetime."

Emily was proud, arrogant and supercilious, because she was lucky to have met Jonas when she was
young and had developed intimacy with him, and went well in the entertainment circle for many years.

But the consequence was that she was not afraid of anything now.

"But all the reporters have been watching you. If you don't apologize to them, they won't let you go."
The assistant didn't give up, and she finally understood why Sher didn't want to talk to Emily.

It seemed that Emily was a clever woman, but she should have a short memory.

She only played some dirty tricks to bully the honest. It was said that it was not easy to be the assistant
of a star. She had dealt with many stars, but it was the first time to see someone like Emily.

It was an insult to the word "pure" when Emily said she was a pure actress.

For a moment, the assistant wondered how Emily got to this position.

"Who on earth are you with? You work for me, or for the bitch Melinda? How about I write you a
recommendation letter? You can work as Melinda's assistant." Emily really disliked this assistant so
much that she kept saying that she should make an apology to that bitch.



"I didn't mean that."

The assistant felt wronged by Emily's words. She thought she said that for Emily's good. Emily's
position in the entertainment circle was very dangerous now. If she still did not restrain herself, there
would never be good results.

She had followed several stars before, but they were banished by the company in this way.

"So please stop nagging in front of me. I beg you. Please go now," Emily said. With that, she got ready
to go.

The assistant stood firm and stopped Emily with her arms open. "You have to apologize to Melinda
today, or you can just stay at home."

Emily stared at her, but the assistant was not afraid. There were many paparazzi squatting outside. If
they knew that Emily did not apologize and still wanted to go shopping, she didn't know what the news
would be about the next day.
