Chapter 94 Appreciation
The most prized dishes from the Guofeng Grand Restaurant began to arrive in the private room.
Concurrently, the most beautiful traditional Chinese music started playing on stage. A dozen alluring women in Tang suits performed with all their might, solely to entertain the guests in this most luxurious private room.
Chen Yang, Liu Ran, and Su Ya savored the food while enjoying the song and dance, a truly pleasant experience.
Outside the private room, Granny Liu and the others from the Liu family stood with frost on their faces and dark expressions.
They hadn't left, hoping to be invited into the private room by Liu Ran and Chen Yang.
However, from beginning to end, Liu Ran, Chen Yang, and Su Ya ate and drank amongst themselves, clearly enjoying their time, with no intention of acknowledging the Liu family members.
Granny Liu gritted her teeth, then slammed her cane onto the ground and declared, "Let's go, we're going to eat in the private room. This room was originally booked by my grandson, Liu Xuhui."
Upon hearing Granny Liu's words, the Liu family members all nodded. Then, with shameless audacity, they entered the private room and reseated themselves.
Liu Xuhui chuckled and said to Miss Su, "Miss Su, are these dishes to your liking? Although there were some unexpected incidents earlier, the outcome is ultimately good. This welcome banquet for Miss Su has been successfully arranged by me."
Su Ya was truly speechless. If she didn't need to glean information about the Heavenly Doctor Hall from the Liu family, she would have absolutely no desire to deal with these people any longer.
The Liu family members shamelessly took their seats. At this moment, Granny Liu addressed Liu Ran, saying, "Xiao Ran, the diamond card for Guofeng Grand Restaurant, you and Chen Yang each having one seems redundant. Hand yours over to me as an act of filial piety!"
Liu Ran was taken aback for a moment, then immediately shook her head and said to Granny Liu, "Grandma, this card is useful to me. Think about it, our Tianliu Commercial Building will have many more social engagements in the future. With this card, I can bring clients here to dine. How much will be saved throughout the year? Moreover, Guofeng Grand Restaurant has a high standard. Using this card, I can always book top-tier private rooms, which can increase client trust and favorability. I am contributing to our Liu family, aiming to boost the performance of Tianliu Commercial Building. Therefore, I need to use this card now. I'll give it to Grandma after some time."
Liu Ran's words were neither overtly aggressive nor completely yielding.
She also provided many sound reasons.
Granny Liu's expression changed, but she couldn't find any grounds for reproach. She could only coldly snort, then cast a frosty gaze at Chen Yang.
Chen Yang lowered his head to eat, completely ignoring the Liu family members.
Liu Xin, at this point, slammed her hand on the table and pointed at Chen Yang, saying, "Chen Yang, you good-for-nothing, hurry up and hand over the card. Liu Ran, as the current director of Tianliu Commercial Building, it's understandable she needs to use that card to entertain clients. What about you? You don't need to entertain clients, do you? You're a security captain who got in through the back door, a delivery man. You don't need this card. Hurry up and hand it over to Grandma as an act of filial piety. You have no foresight at all. Our Liu family took you in as a son-in-law; you've accumulated eight lifetimes of good fortune. You haven't given any good gifts before, so now that you have this card, you naturally must show filial piety to Grandma. Hand it over quickly."
Chen Yang put down the diamond card in his hand and looked at Liu Xin seriously, saying, "That won't do. I have two to three hundred security brothers under me, and I still need to treat them to meals. With this card, I can save a lot of money each year. Besides, apart from my two to three hundred security brothers, I have over a thousand fellow delivery workers. For our usual gatherings, if I invite them here for a treat, how much money can I save? And it also gives me a lot of face, so this card is useful to me too."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xin immediately turned to Granny Liu and said, "Grandma, listen to this. Listen to what this good-for-nothing Chen Yang is saying. He actually wants to invite his security brothers to dine at Guofeng Grand Restaurant. What kind of place is Guofeng Grand Restaurant? Is it a place that those dog security guards can enter? A bunch of lowlifes wanting to eat here, it's hilarious. Today, we must get this good-for-nothing's card. He and Liu Ran can share one card; having one each is too wasteful."
Granny Liu abruptly slammed the table and said to Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, Liu Ran, both of you must hand over one diamond card. Otherwise, don't blame me for not being polite. The family laws of our Liu family are not to be trifled with."
Chen Yang couldn't help but scoff at this. The Liu family members were truly shameless. Just now, they were like strangers. After leaving the private room, they kicked them when they were down, refusing to help the three of them. Now, for a diamond card, they shamelessly demanded filial piety and etiquette.
Chen Yang impatiently raised his head and roared at the waiter outside the private room, "What are you guys doing? Boss Zhou just made it very clear that the Manchu Han Imperial Feast in this room is to entertain the three of us. Hurry up and get rid of these noisy people, otherwise, I'll have to report to Third Master Hong that the three of us are very dissatisfied."
When the waiters outside heard Chen Yang bring up Third Master Hong's name again, they all shivered. Then, the waiters immediately rushed in, escorted Granny Liu and the others, and directly threw them out of the private room.
Liu Xin was so angry her face turned ashen. Struggling, she cursed at Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, you good-for-nothing, you've truly gone too far! Today is just your luck. I'm telling you, hurry up and hand over that diamond card. Who do you think you are, to be worthy of owning a diamond card for Guofeng Grand Hotel? You've been married to me for a year, with no skills whatsoever, you're a complete waste. Now that you have a diamond card, you should compensate me. Otherwise, doesn't your conscience hurt?"
Liu Xin struggled fiercely and roared at Chen Yang.
Chen Yang couldn't be bothered with this woman, Liu Xin. He thought about the past year he spent like a beast of burden in Liu Xin's home, serving tea and water, working tirelessly, yet always being looked down upon. Back then, he should have realized that the angel who saved him twenty years ago could not possibly be a woman like Liu Xin.
After the waiters expelled the Liu family members, the private room finally became quiet.
Forty-nine exquisite dishes were laid out on the table, emitting fragrant aromas. Chen Yang raised his wine glass and said to Su Ya, "Supervisor Su, this meal today for your welcome, it seems quite impressive, right? Come, don't be shy. It's just the three of us. Let's eat and drink to our hearts' content."
Su Ya also breathed a sigh of relief. A look of admiration appeared in her eyes.
Looking at Chen Yang with her beautiful eyes shimmering with admiration, Su Ya said, "Chen Yang, after today's events, I finally understand why junior Liu Ran, despite being so outstanding, insisted on marrying you. Indeed, perhaps you are just a security captain, just a delivery man, just a person from the lower rungs of society, but your character and your courage are truly commendable. Congratulations, junior Liu Ran, on finding such a perfect match. If I had met Chen Yang earlier, perhaps I would have truly competed with you for this groom!"
