Meng Wenting felt a bit slighted but still managed to say, "Sorry, Lawyer Xie, it was my oversight." He took the initiative to introduce the person sitting next to him, "This is my daughter, Meng Duolan. She just happened to be nearby and came to join me for a meal."
Meng Duolan stood up, dressed sharply in a suit with a short skirt, looking both beautiful and valiant. She walked over to Xie Shang and extended her hand, "I've long admired your reputation, Lawyer Xie."
Xie Shang shook her hand politely and let go, then took a seat opposite Meng Wenting.
The waiter handed the menu to the lady.
"Does Lawyer Xie have any dietary restrictions?"
"No."
Meng Duolan asked the waiter to recommend a few specialties and then turned to her father, "Dad, would you like to have a drink?"
Meng Wenting looked across the table, "Lawyer Xie, would you join me for a couple of drinks?"
Xie Shang declined politely, "Sorry, I drove here, so I won't be drinking."
