Tan Jing was already in a bad mood. Now that she was stopped at the door, she felt even more furious. “Do you even understand? Do you think we care so much about coming to your place for a meal? We didn’t even say anything, what kind of attitude is this?”
The waiter frowned. “Madam, please lower your voice. I’m just following the rules. Please don’t disturb the customers inside.”
Chen Yi’s face turned cold, she scolded, “I’ve never seen a place that would chase me out. How amazing do you think you are? Are you afraid that I can’t afford it? My daughter is just stating facts, who are we disturbing? They can even use this opportunity to step up and see who I am!”
The waiter stood awkwardly. He was angered by the mother and daughter’s unreasonable behaviour but he couldn’t force them out either.
Just as the three of them remained in a stagnant position, a kind-looking middle-aged man walked out of the room and asked softly, “Is there anything wrong?”
The waiter saw his saviour and quickly ran up to him. “Boss, I already explained it to them. They are not members and did not make an appointment but they insist on having a meal here.”
Chen Yi snorted. “You are the boss of this place? Great! Waiters like you don’t know what’s good for you. I am Mrs. Tan. I heard that your restaurant is famous and I would like to try it out. Would you be able to do anything about it?”
Chen Yi said it lightly and arrogantly, as if she wanted to hang the word ‘Mrs. Tan’ on her face.
The middle-aged man chuckled. “In the beginning, this small place of mind opened up blindly with my own creations. A few good friends got together and gradually, friends brought friends which slowly brought in the crowd. You ran out of luck today. Perhaps you can come again next time with your friends, I’ll make sure to treat them well.”
Tan Jing understood what he meant. He was hinting that they did not have any connections and since no one introduced them here, they were not allowed inside?
She was instantly infuriated. “You think this desolate and desolate place is a noble place?”
The middle-aged man was not angry. “It’s reasonable for a little girl to look down on this little courtyard of mine. Very well then, there’s no need to force yourself to come in and eat. Please come in!”
As they were speaking, a few middle-aged women walked out of the room. One of them walked up and said, “I was wondering why it’s so noisy outside. What’s going on? Hey, isn’t this Mrs. Tan? You’re here for dinner too?”
Chen Yi’s expression turned awkward. This woman had always been on bad terms with Chen Yi as she kept comparing them. Now, she was forced into such an awkward situation. What Bad Luck! She shouldn’t not have visited here today!
The middle-aged woman did not give up. “Oh, why do I remember that you aren’t a member here? It’s no wonder why I heard your voice from inside the room. Don’t get angry. These are the rules here!”
The woman laughed happily. “I was invited here by a friend too. Today isn’t a suitable day. I shall ask you out one day so that you can experience the vibe here.. Ahhhhh! The air of nature is so fresh but why are you and your daughter dressed like this? Inevitably… … It’s a little inappropriate!”
After the woman finished speaking, she looked Chen Yi and Tan Jing from head to toe, with her eyes full of ridicule and disdain.
Chen Yi felt her face burning and she wished she could escape underground. Tan Jing also felt uncomfortable as if she had eaten a dead fly.
Chen Yi knew these few middle-aged women standing by the entrance but they were not close to each other. So, no one came forward to speak up for Chen Yi. Instead, they gathered together and muttered something. No one knew what they were talking about.
Chen Yi felt that they were all mocking her. She stared at the boss and the middle-aged woman with hatred and was angry that they dared to embarrass her.
Now that it had come to this, the mother and daughter were already embarrassed. If they left with their tails between their legs, wouldn’t they be laughed at by that damn woman in the future? Everyone would know about this embarrassing matter before tomorrow.
Chen Yi gritted her teeth and thought about what else she could rely on to scare everyone so that she could reclaim her pride. After thinking for a long time, she finally said, “Even if you don’t care about the Tan family,, what about the Zhuang family? We are in-laws!”
The expressions of everyone present changed. They were all a little suspicious. They heard that the Tan and Zhuang families had already broken off their engagement? Could it be that the news was fake? Otherwise, why would Chen Yi still dare to say such a thing?
Everyone pondered in their hearts. If they still had a marriage contract with the Zhuang family, then they would have to consider the Zhuang family’s reputation and not offend Chen Yi.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a clear male voice came from not far away. “The marriage contract between our two families has long been annulled. Mrs. Tan, please have some self-respect!”
