Chapter 52
Meeting On A Narrow Road, The Hero Will Win
“Mm.” Li Junyu hummed and gave a noncommittal nod. His expression was calm whilst there was a faint smile on his lips.
But in Ruan Mengmeng’s eyes, this cold curve of his smile was really creepy and only now did Ruan Mengmeng understand what it means to dig one’s own grave.
That explained why that as they entered the restaurant before, the manager outside the restaurant who always looked down on people treated Li Junyu so politely. And here she thought earlier that it was because the manager knew Li Junyu’s ident.i.ty and hence, acted like such a yes-man.
Looking at it now, she was so stupid!
Other than the second young master of the Li family who liked to show off outside, everyone else in the family was very low-key in S city.
How could an ordinary restaurant manager know Li Junyu?
Ruan Mengmeng was really regretting it now. She could not believe that she actually killed the conversation.
“Uhm… I, I’m going to the bathroom for a bit…” Even one large round table away, she could still feel the man’s cold aura. She felt that if she continued to stay, it would be impossible to communicate nicely.
Hence, before Li Junyu got p.i.s.sed, Ruan Mengmeng used the “toilet” as an excuse and escaped.
Seeing the little kitten run away out of panic, Li Junyu unconsciously rubbed his thumb and index finger together.
The smile on his lips became deeper.
He actually felt like caressing with the girl’s soft chin again.

Just as Ruan Mengmeng ran out of the private room and pushed the door open, a voice came from beside her.
“Miss, is there anything you need? It will be my honor to serve you.”
Ruan Mengmeng was surprised by the voice.
She looked up and realized that the formally dressed restaurant manager had surprisingly been standing right outside of the door the whole time.
Cough, he really was a person who went through a lot!
Same as her, who had to always remain highly stressed no matter when.
“Cough, uhm… where is the toilet?”
“Over there, let me lead you there.” The restaurant manager who usually held a stern face was really accommodative at this moment.
Ruan Mengmeng pitied him and so, did not refuse his sincere service.
While she was following the restaurant manager and right as they reached the turning point of the corridor, she saw two familiar figures came out from the toilet.
One was a middle-aged woman, who was holding onto an old woman.
Ruan Mengmeng recognized the middle-aged woman, who was Li Ping, Qin Fang’s sister in law.
The old woman who was held by Li Ping, was Qin Fang’s mother, Madam Qin.
Madam Qin had originally lived in Ruan’s house but was chased by Ruan Shishi to Lin City because her
hands and feet were not clean
.
Now that Ruan Shishi has died and Qin Fang had given birth to a son, she was brought in again.
Madam Qin and Li Ping did not see Ruan Mengmeng and were chatting happily.
“Mom, isn’t this place nice? When we get back, let’s tell Qin Fang to have your birthday party here. Such a high-cla.s.s place, the former neighbors would be envious when they see it.”
“But the menu here, I’ve looked at it … It’s so expensive…”
“So what if it’s expensive? The Ruan family is paying anyway. Our Qin Fang gave the Ruan family a little golden grandson and now the Ruan family would do whatever she says.”
Li Ping urged Madam Qin with all her might.
“Furthermore, Ruan Zhaotian is your son-in-law. He said in person that he would give you a beautiful sixtieth birthday. If you choose an ordinary restaurant, it would lower your son-in-law’s face!”
“Yes, yes, you’re right. My son-in-law is filial to me and I should give my son-in-law a chance to express it…”
The two spoke more and more exuberantly as if they are already at Madam Qin’s sixtieth birthday and the envious eyes when friends and relatives attended the birthday feast.
Unbeknownst to them, just as they took two steps forward, they suddenly felt a cold wind. Quickly, Li Ping was flipped onto the ground by a slap across the face.
“I won’t let you waste my father’s money! I have never even been to such an expensive place like this and you dare to encourage your mother to have a celebration here!”
