Chapter 70 Enemies meet on a narrow road
Those with simple minds only see the surface of things, while those with a bit of shrewdness have already fallen into this contest of probing and understanding.
Standing at the front, Yun Qintian was not alarmed by the waiter's question. He slightly turned his body to the side, revealing Yun Yao's stunning face.
"Miss Yun Yao, as you can see from the current situation, I am unable to do my best," Yun Qintian said with a smile, a hint of guilt on his face.
Yun Yao glanced at Yun Qintian, then looked at Yun Zhengfeng, who was equally embarrassed and picking at his fingers.
Tsk, how did this blockhead give birth to such a smart son as Yun Qintian?
"It's alright." Yun Yao's lips parted slightly, and the two words floated down her lips.
She stepped forward, about to speak with the waiter, when she heard a gentle, flowing sound like a spring.
"Miss, just put their expenses on my tab."
Apart from Yun Yao, everyone turned to look at the door and saw a stunningly beautiful woman in a dark purple bodycon dress swaying towards them.
When everyone saw the woman's face clearly, their hearts tightened.
The waiter recognized this restaurant regular at a glance; every time he came, he was treated as a VIP by the manager.
The waiter's eyes lit up, and he didn't dare to be negligent, so he quickly went to greet her.
"Miss Su, it's been a long time since you've been here. What would you like to eat today? I'll have your personal chef arrange it right away!" The waiter smiled obsequiously.
They didn't make a reservation either, but other people here have their own chefs, while they can't even get through the door. The difference between the Yun family and this young lady from the Su family is like heaven and earth.
"The usual is fine, you can go and make the arrangements." Bai Mengyan was naturally extremely charming, the kind of person who would make people stop in their tracks at first glance, and her attire today added to her mystery.
Yun Xinru seemed to have seen a savior and, ignoring the Yun family's objections, walked straight toward Bai Mengyan.
"Sister Mengyan, you've really gone to so much trouble." Yun Xinru skillfully took Bai Mengyan's arm, showing her familiarity with her.
The look of disgust in Bai Mengyan's eyes vanished in an instant, replaced by a gentle smile at Yun Xinru.
"Xinru, please don't say that. It's just a meal."
After Bai Mengyan said that, the faces of the Yun family members were not very good. Wasn't this a roundabout way of saying that the Yun family couldn't even afford a meal?
Only Yun Xinru, with her simple mind, took this as Bai Mengyan being overly modest.
Perhaps it was because Miss Su's reputation was too great, because as soon as Bai Mengyan stood there, countless eyes were cast toward them.
When they saw Yun Xinru next to Bai Mengyan, everyone's expressions became complicated.
This afternoon, news of problems in the Yun family's various businesses spread like wildfire. Although they are a third-rate family, if they really declare bankruptcy, they can still get a share of the profits.
But the Yun family has actually managed to get close to the Su family, so wouldn't this crisis be easily overcome?
Yun Xinru had no idea what they were thinking. She just felt that standing next to Bai Mengyan, she could straighten her back and even the air she breathed smelled sweet.
Hmph, Yun Yao, you can be arrogant and domineering at home and no one cares about you. Now look what's happened, you still have to rely on me to save everyone from this awkward situation.
Yun Xinru now looked like a victorious rooster, her head held high.
Qiao Lan looked at her daughter's smug attitude and already had a plan in mind.
The Yun family is now facing annihilation. If the Su family could lend a hand, who in the capital would dare to target them?
"Xinru, you silly child, when did you meet Miss Su? Why didn't you tell us elders? We could have invited Miss Su to dinner!" Qiao Lan's eyes gleamed.
Yun Zhengfeng was furious at the way the Yun family treated people differently based on their status. His face was very ugly, but he couldn't say anything to Bai Mengyan.
The Su family is someone we really can't afford to offend!
Bai Mengyan never took the Yun family seriously, and her approach to Yun Xinru was only to use her. As for Qiao Lan, the always arrogant Bai Mengyan had long lost patience.
He walked straight past Qiao Lan and headed towards the figure who had her back to her.
Qiao Lan awkwardly withdrew her smile. Being ignored by a junior like this made her uncomfortable, but she really didn't dare to say anything.
Yun Yao sensed an unfamiliar presence approaching, but her heart remained unmoved, even... disdainful.
"This must be Yun Yao. As expected... seeing is believing." Bai Mengyan stood beside Yun Yao, her words carrying a slightly enigmatic meaning.
Yun Yao patted her sleeves, her face full of disgust.
"I didn't check the almanac before going out, what bad luck!"
Bai Mengyan's hands tightened slightly, and a flash of hatred appeared in her eyes.
"Yun Yao, what happened at school was just a misunderstanding. My car malfunctioned and I couldn't control it. If you're going to hold it against me, I'll let you hit me once." Bai Mengyan's beautiful face was tinged with annoyance and grievance.
Those present had no idea what had happened; they only felt that the Yun family's illegitimate daughter was far too arrogant. Even after Miss Su spoke so frankly, she remained unmoved, truly showing no regard for others.
Yun Yao didn't even glance at Bai Mengyan, and looked at the waiter walking towards them with impatience on her face.
Before the waiter even reached her, Yun Yao turned and walked towards Yun Zhengfeng and the others, leaving Bai Mengyan alone in the same spot.
"I saw something disgusting, and I really have no appetite. Let's go, let's find another place," Yun Yao said casually.
Yun Zhengfeng was absolutely obedient to Yun Yao's orders. Besides, he really disliked this young lady from the Su family; she was far too arrogant.
Yun Qintian's purpose was to test Yun Yao's abilities; whether he ate the meal or not made no difference.
Yun Zhengfeng and Yun Qintian followed Yun Yao away.
Looking at Yun Yao's figure, Bai Mengyan's beautiful eyes were filled with hatred, and she immediately gave the waiter a wink.
Working at a restaurant of Honghao's caliber, the first thing a waiter needs to learn is to read between the lines. With just a glance from Bai Mengyan, the waiter understood what she meant.
"Miss Yun, please wait."
The waiter called out to Yun Yao and quickly stepped forward.
"What else do you want? We're no longer eating at Honghao!" Yun Zhengfeng stopped the waiter directly.
There have been too many unpleasant people and things for Miss Yunyao today. The Su family can't compete with them. Do they have to put up with the waiter's attitude?
The waiter apologized repeatedly, but there was no remorse on his face.
"Mr. Yun, Ms. Su has already paid your bill, so you didn't need to make a reservation. But not only are you ungrateful, but Ms. Yun also said she saw something disgusting, which has already affected our restaurant's reputation. We would appreciate it if Ms. Yun could explain herself. If we have indeed done something improper, we will correct it immediately. Otherwise, this is considered deliberate slander, and our restaurant has the right to hold Ms. Yun accountable and ask her to apologize to the restaurant," the waiter said matter-of-factly.
Honghao Restaurant has a powerful background. It has been located in the capital for many years, but no one knows the identity of the person behind it. Even top-tier families and powerful clans would have to think twice before acting recklessly at Honghao.
Honghao only has a manager to put on a show, and he's used to acting as an accomplice to evil. His waiters have also learned the trick. What do you call that? Looking down on people!
