With her gaze upon Mrs. Zheng, she said with a flattering tone, “Mrs. Zheng, sorry to have disturbed you. It is our fault. We will get another room for ourselves.”
Mrs. Zheng looked at her with a flat expression. She hated this kind of person. They always bullied the weak and feared the strong.
Seeing that she was not to be offended, they turned somewhere else instead.
She stayed silent. She did not have the intention of letting go of this woman. Instead, she was very curious to see what on earth this manager of Yellow Crane would like to do. She had been too anxious to think it through, but as she calmed down, she found that she might have been used.
She stood silently.
Manager Song said, “Mrs. Gu, I will go and knock at the door now, but I don’t think that Lord Huai is willing to spare his space. He is never in a good mood.”
He said and was about to knock at the door.
Mrs. Gu’s eyes widened – what? Lord Huai was there?!
That gave her all the reason not to knock at the door.
She did not even have the time to tell her maid what to do before she gripped Manager Song’s clothes. “Hang on, Manager Song!”
“...”
“We can just leave him alone...” Mrs. Gu said with a false smile.
Her heart was still pounding. Oh god! She would never dare irritate Lord Huai!
Lord Huai chopped the arms of the daughter of some important minister. What was he going to do with her! Maybe she was going to be killed because she irritated Lord Huai! She did not have to waste her life for just a dish!
Mrs. Gu showed a very flattering smile. Manager Song, on the other hand, still had the same flat expression.
Mrs. Zheng, however, was startled. She had suspected that she was used, but if Lord Huai was in the other elegant room, then it was totally reasonable that she was asked first. She was not used at all, she just had a lower rank.
Mrs. Gu felt embarrassed. She was busy trying to come up with some other ideas.
Then she said casually, “Since the elegant rooms are full, we can eat downstairs. Manager Song, please, empty one table for us.”
Manager Song still showed a flat expression.
Zheng Jieli could not stand it any more. “Mrs. Gu, you are indeed smart, aren’t you? When you don’t dare offend me or Lord Huai, you are trying to bully the commoners instead?”
“...”
“Anyway, since Manager Song can’t do anything with you, I will do something instead.” She turned to her guards. “Guys, get this annoying Mrs. Gu out of here now.”
The guards got the order and started to do it directly. They did not care about anything at all.
They gripped Mrs. Gu and tossed her out of the restaurant.
Mrs. Gu’s scream filled the entire Yellow Crane.
The guests who were in the middle of eating hot-pot chuckled at the sight of the scene. So the annoying woman ran into someone who was even more influential than she was! That served her right!
As Mrs. Gu was thrown out, Gu Ruxue could not stand there any more. She hurried off with her maid.
Manager Song bowed to Mrs. Zheng and said, “Thanks, Mrs. Zheng. Lord Huai doesn’t like to be disturbed when he is eating, so we did have difficulty in asking him what to do with that unreasonable lady. Sorry to have disturbed you, Mrs. Zheng. From this day on, you have all the priority of booking this elegant room here at our restaurant.”
Zheng Jieli was startled. So the manager was saying that Lord Huai owned the restaurant? Then it was completely worth it. “You are welcome.”
In the other elegant room, Gu Chaoyan was all ears for what was happening outside.
