Chapter 61: Phoenix Pavilion Room 8
Looking at the unfamiliar yet familiar number in her contacts, a dashingly beautiful face suddenly flashed across her mind.
She pursed her lips, her expression somewhat hazy.
Why did she care so much about what he was doing?
Helplessly, she shook her head and tucked the phone back into her coat pocket, ready to start the car.
As if she remembered something, Su Ran paused for a moment, took out her phone again, set the ringtone volume to the maximum, checked the signal, then, feeling reassured, put the phone back in her pocket and started the vehicle.
The next day at noon.
First-Class Fragrance was situated at the heart of the most bustling financial district in Yong City, essentially surrounded by commercial skyscrapers.
The interior was antiquely charming with pavilions, terraces, small bridges over flowing water—a tranquil and elegant environment that was very popular.
Located near the busiest commercial streets with dense crowds, the footfall was immense, leaving no seats vacant on any given day.
First-Class Fragrance had always been known as the ‘Imperial Royal Kitchen.’ The food was exquisite and delicious, meticulously crafted, making it a gathering spot for sons and daughters of the upper class.
Not only that, but it was also one of the places where the powerful and wealthy families displayed their status.
‘Imperial Royal Kitchen.’
Those who could enter were definitely Imperial Kinsmen and Nobles.
Yet, the owner of First-Class Fragrance had always been a mystery, with no one knowing his true identity.
After the last incident at the hospital, Su Ran had some guesses in her heart.
She arrived at the entrance of First-Class Fragrance and quickly found the old lady and the housekeeper accompanying her.
She immediately went up to them.
“I’m sorry, granny, for being late.”
The old lady waved her hand, her face full of kindness and joy.
“It’s alright, it’s alright, we’ve only just arrived as well.”
Her tone bore no ounce of concern.
Su Ran naturally walked up to the old lady’s side to help her walk as they chatted.
“What would you like to eat, granny?”
“I don’t have any dietary restrictions. What about you, Xiao Ran?”
Su Ran smiled quietly.
“I don’t have any either.”
“Good, then let’s go in and have a look!”
Assisting the old lady, Su Ran walked directly into First-Class Fragrance, where a sight of pavilions and terraces met her eyes.
Galleries over water, small bridges and flowing streams.
The glazed tile roof stacked high, deep jujube red, dark green pavilion pillars, willows dancing in the wind, water babbling, mist swirling—it was as if they were in a dream.
Truly a grand affair.
As soon as they entered, a waiter promptly greeted them, polite and respectful.
“Welcome, distinguished guests. Do you have a reservation?”
Reservations were required for the private rooms in First-Class Fragrance, regardless of whether you were wealthy or powerful, everyone had to reserve a spot in line.
“Yes, the Phoenix Pavilion, Room No. 8.”
Hearing the name of the room, a flicker of surprise flashed across the waiter’s eyes as he looked at them even more humbly and respectfully.
“Miss Su of Phoenix Pavilion, Room No. 8?”
Su Ran nodded slightly.
“Yes, please follow me.”
The waiter took a discreet peek at Su Ran and carefully said.
“Xinyan, the Qin family’s banquet next week—I heard it’s an invitation personally extended to you by Young Master Qin, wasn’t it?”
“Not just anyone can attend the Qin family’s banquet, and your grandma is even having you go with President Gu. Xinyan, your grandma really treats you well.”
“Yeah, how come I don’t have such a grandmother?”
“Hey, have you guys heard? This time, someone from the Fu family will also be attending the Qin family’s banquet.”
As these words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
It erupted into commotion.
“The Fu family? Which Fu family?”
