The evening lights came on, illuminating Oxford Street brightly.
Inside the John Parker Steakhouse, Leng Qingqiu and Lu Yu sat facing each other, each with a plate of fresh and juicy steak accompanied by a valuable red wine, evoking a deep sense of romance.
Slowly cutting a piece of steak, Lu Yu placed it in his mouth and chewed gently, his gaze fixed on the bustling pedestrians outside the window, with a hint of somberness in his eyes.
This was not his first visit to this steakhouse; five years ago, both the Lu Family and Leng Family had traveled here together and chose this restaurant.
Five years have passed; the taste here remains unchanged, the wine just as sweet as before, yet the feeling is starkly different from five years ago.
Now, the Leng Family still shines, but the Lu Family has already declined.
