Chapter 400: Rejection
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qiao Xuan did not mention that they had met, nor did she say that she knew her cousin Yuezheng Xiao well.
“I am sorry, Miss, but we are a group of more than two people. Also, we arrived here first to book the room. We live outside the province and can barely visit here. So, we really want to eat at Yanchi Restaurant. But Miss, you seem to be a local, what about coming here next time?”
Yuezheng Ting was not a mild tempered person, but she was in public and had her friends with her. Thus she had to act as if she were very generous and elegant.
She thought that she had been kind enough to offer compensation, but this lady turned her down bluntly.
Yuezheng Ting could not embarrass herself in front of others, and said with a good smile, “Lady, we also want to eat the good dishes here today. How about I offer you three liang? You can eat a sumptuous meal at some other place with these three liang, no?”
Yuezheng Ting felt so distressed. Three liang was already a huge amount, enough for her to try different sun dried fruits.
Qiao Xuan really looked down at her.
If she wanted to drive her away with money, at least ten to twenty liang should have been the starting price.
Yanchi Restaurant’s elegant rooms were very expensive to book. In that light, one or three liang were so stingy as a compensation.
If she was so miserly, then she did not have to put on the show. It was so embarrassing.
Had Yuezheng Ting and Yuezheng Xiao been in a good relationship, Qiao Xuan would have definitely helped. But Yuezheng Xiao and Yuezheng Ting were not in a harmonious relationship, and Qiao Xuan would not just let this opportunity go.
“Sorry, Miss. Can you please try this offer with some other guests?”
Yuezheng Ting got so furious, which is why her maid Jiang went forward and said, “Hey, don’t be so greedy. Our miss already offers you a generous offer, what more do you want?”
Qiao Xuan glanced at her and smiled with politeness. “I just want to have a quiet lunch.”
A girl in a rosy and patterned coat chuckled as she squinted at Yuezheng Ting. “Ting, you are really not generous enough. One or three liang is too little to offer, you are so rich that you can offer more.”
The Yuezheng Family were rich enough to offer more, but she must be doing it on purpose because she did not want to treat them with a true heart.
Yuezheng Ting glared at the maid and then at Qiao Xuan. She spoke in a very annoyed voice with her teeth clenched. “I will give you ten liang, and you can choose another dining place.”
Qiao Xuan said to the manager, “Mr. Manager, I am going upstairs. When my husband and my brother-in-law arrive, please direct them to our elegant room.”
Having said that, Qiao Xuan left with Shao Taotao.
Yuezheng Ting’s face flushed. She was both embarrassed and angry.
Another lady wearing a lavender dress frowned, as she said lightly, “I just thought of something. I am off, let’s set another day for lunch.”
Before Yuezheng Ting could say anything, the girl left and the other girls followed up soon after.
Yuezheng Ting turned pale and felt humiliated.
The girl in lavender dress was Xie Ruifang, the lineal daughter of the third section of the family of the Xie Family.
Yuezheng Ting ran into Xie Ruifang and her cousin He Zhiqing, and was trying to suck up to them. They were just talking about the dishes of Yanchi Restaurant, so she vividly offered to take them to this restaurant for the exaggeratedly praised dishes..
