He trotted over.
Wasn't this like slapping his own face?
To make her bow to Lan Tianxiong.
How embarrassing.
What was Lan Tianxiong's family?
Just a small family in Jiangnan City. Compared to the numerous aristocratic families in Tianchu City, they were nothing!
And they were from the Lan clan.
They couldn't let that family lord it over the Lan clan.
Seeing his angry second aunt.
Sun Jian and Nong Xiuyu's sisters kept winking at their little aunt.
The little aunt was also tempted.
Compared to dining at Chunjiangyue.
What was losing a little face?
And after this meal.
She would have bragging rights for a lifetime!
She had also been to the Chunjiangyue private room in Jianghelou.
Chunjiangyue.
What an impressive place!
Only true big shots from the Governor's Mansion, Miyun Mountain, and the Seven Star Cave were qualified to enter.
Even her husband's family, the Nong family, who were known as a first-class martial arts family in Tianchu City, didn't have that qualification!
"Second sister, we are siblings with Third Brother! Why are you angry with him? Third Brother definitely didn't mean it! Besides, the private room Third Brother booked is like the Lan clan booking it."
The little aunt said.
"Third Brother is probably regretting it now. If we don't go, I guarantee he'll come down to invite us up later!"
"Instead of waiting for him to invite us, why don't we go up ourselves? The opportunity to dine at Chunjiangyue should not be missed."
The second aunt's expression softened.
She snorted, "Fine! I'll give Third Brother some face. If I don't go, they probably won't be able to eat this meal in peace."
Seeing the second aunt relent.
Sun Jian and Nong Xiuyu's sisters cheered and hurried upstairs.
Manager Jin was guarding the Chunjiangyue private room.
Seeing the second aunt, little aunt, Sun Jian, and Nong Xiuyu's sisters running up themselves, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
The second aunt pretended not to see it.
Instead, she said arrogantly, "Isn't Chunjiangyue the top private room in Jianghelou? Is this the service quality? Little Jin, why aren't you opening the door for us quickly?"
Manager Jin was filled with anger.
That person had only instructed him to serve the Lan Tianxiong family well.
These people from the Lan clan really thought of themselves as VIPs!
He felt a surge of anger, but his face remained impassive. He bowed and opened the door for the second aunt and the others, making a gesture of invitation.
Inside the private room.
A table full of delicacies had just been served.
Lan Junjie stared in disbelief at the second aunt, little aunt, Sun Jian, and Nong Xiuyu's sisters, five people who had come uninvited.
Didn't the second aunt just say very firmly that she wouldn't eat this meal!
Why did she change her mind in the blink of an eye?
What a buzzkill.
Lan Junjie was depressed.
Lan Tianxiong snorted and said nothing.
Li Huimei saw this and kept winking at him.
She then said to the second aunt and the others, "Second sister, little sister, you've come at the perfect time. The dishes have just been served. Let's eat them while they're hot!"
"If you hadn't come, Tianxiong was just about to ask Junjie to invite you."
Lan Junjie was confused.
My father didn't ask me to invite them.
I wouldn't go even if he did!
What kind of people were these.
The second aunt sneered, "I know Third Brother's intentions. You don't need to be fake! I'm his sister, can he really get angry with me! I'm giving him face, otherwise I wouldn't have come."
"Do you really think I can't book this private room? If I wanted to come for a meal, I could do it in minutes!"
The second aunt spoke with great animation.
She spoke so convincingly.
She almost believed it herself.
Ling Fan smiled without speaking.
Lan Junjie almost spat out his food!
He quickly grabbed a few dishes and swallowed them down like a parakeet.
Lan Tianxiong's expression softened.
He said to his second aunt, "Second sister, I wasn't intentionally angry with you just now. It's just that what you said in public was too much! Don't you know my personality?"
The second aunt's eyes were already captivated by the table full of exquisite dishes she had never seen or heard of before.
She perfunctorily replied to Lan Tianxiong, "Alright, alright, I haven't taken the past things to heart, so don't mention them! Let's eat, hurry up and eat!"
The second aunt directly took charge.
Her demeanor.
It was as if she had organized this banquet.
At this point, Lan Junjie was completely impressed by the second aunt's strong mentality.
She was truly a talent.
In terms of thick skin.
There were probably few people in the world who could match her.
The second aunt didn't care about that.
She ignored Lan Junjie's gaze.
Thick skin was a virtue!
One should play to their strengths.
She kept picking dishes for Sun Jian.
"Son, eat this! This is delicious!"
"This one is also good. I heard about it, and this is the first time I've eaten it. It's truly amazing!"
"Oh my, this dish is not cheap. It's called Dragon Liver and Phoenix Marrow, isn't it? This dish alone is worth over a hundred thousand taels of silver! Hiss, hiss, come, take this half, Mom will eat the rest."
Sun Jian's mouth was stuffed full.
He even burped!
He grabbed a pot of wine and poured it into his mouth, then patted his stomach and continued to eat.
On the other side.
The little aunt's family of three was also not idle.
Three pairs of chopsticks flew up and down.
If you didn't know better, you'd think they were robbers.
After a few rounds of drinks.
The second aunt was slightly tipsy.
She felt absolutely wonderful.
Her gaze suddenly fell on Ling Fan.
"This... Third Brother, what's your son-in-law's name again? Ling Fan, right! Oh yes, yes, yes, it's Ling Fan!"
"Little Ling, you've grown so big, you probably haven't eaten such delicious food before! It's not your fault, what kind of high-end restaurants can there be in a small place like Jiangnan City."
"Tianchu City is the most prosperous and wealthy place in the entire Tianchu Province. It will broaden your horizons!"
"I heard you're a notorious dandy in Jiangnan City. It's okay, you can let loose and indulge in food, drink, and fun while you're in Tianchu City. I'll take responsibility for you, and even your father-in-law wouldn't dare to control you."
Lan Tianxiong frowned, "Second sister, what are you talking about? Are you drunk!"
The second aunt glared at him, "I have a high tolerance, what am I drunk for! I'm talking to the younger generation, don't interrupt!"
The second aunt continued to look at Ling Fan and said, "Life is meant to be enjoyed when it's going well. If you want to be a rich dandy, there's nothing wrong with that! I think it's great, really, Auntie supports you."
"However, there's one thing. Xueyi is the most talented prodigy of our Lan clan. You can be a dandy, but she can't. You need to consider her more. You can't hold her back and ruin her future. Little Ling, tell me, Auntie is right, isn't she!"
The second aunt, seemingly drunk.
However, her eyes flashed with cunning.
Ling Fan smiled imperceptibly.
He said faintly, "What does Auntie mean? I don't understand."
The second aunt was slightly annoyed.
She thought this good-for-nothing was playing dumb with her!
Didn't she understand her meaning?
It was almost as if she was openly saying he wasn't worthy of Lan Xueyi.
The second aunt decided to stop hiding her intentions.
