Chapter 38: The Gu Family’s Bully
“Friend? What friends do you have?” Qu Bei smiled disdainfully. “You’re really boasting shamelessly. Did your countryside friends come out of the village to look for you? I think you just won’t give up! The last time, Zhang Yue had publicly said on the Internet that he had no interest in you. Do you not understand or are you pretending to be stupid?” 1
Gu Yuan shouted sternly, “Don’t you know what kind of place this is? This is Restaurant Fragrance. It’s not a place where you can come and go as you please!”
The service staff leading the way was at a loss. She had never met such an unreasonable person here! The people who came here usually tried their best to pretend to be refined and never spoke loudly.
But the group of people in front of her seemed to be a little shameless! She also wanted to say to the uncle who was talking loudly, “Don’t be noisy. You’re at Restaurant Fragrance!”
But she did not dare to. They looked like a bunch of unreasonable people. 1
She decided to play dead!
“Alright, don’t say that about Gu Man. She might really have such a friend!” Gu Rou defended Gu Man softly.
However, her explanation only made everyone look down on Gu Man even more. Everyone present knew that you can’t just enter even if you had money. Those who could make reservations at this place must be members. Even the Gu family was not able to make reservations.
Apart from her ident.i.ty as the adopted daughter of the Gu family, she was nothing. Wasn’t it a joke to say that she had friends?
“Are you guys done? Are you very proud of yourselves for coming here to make a scene?” Gu Man sneered. 1
When the waiter heard this, she almost cried. This was what she wanted to say.
“B*tch, you’re looking down on us? Who do you think you are? You’re just a country b.u.mpkin. How dare you be so arrogant? I didn’t tear your mouth apart yesterday. Now, I don’t believe I can’t beat you up.” Li Guo’s mother was already filled with anger. As she spoke, she was about to pounce on her. 1
The waiter broke out in a cold sweat. She did not dare to pretend to be dead anymore. She hurriedly ran over and pulled Li Guo’s mother. “Madam, please calm down. If there’s anything, let’s go back and discuss it. Don’t offend the guests here.”
With the waiter’s reminder, everyone finally quietened down. They had almost forgotten that this was Restaurant Fragrance.
Li Guo’s mother coughed lightly and did not get physical again. She only glanced coldly at Gu Man.
“Gu Man, I advise you to go back quickly and stop embarra.s.sing yourself.” Zhang Yue was tired of such pestering.
“Zhang Yue, let me make it clear to you again. I, Gu Man, have no regard for you!” Gu Man looked at Zhang Yue and said word by word.
“Gu Man, stop playing hard to get!” Zhang Yue was furious. What right did she have to say such things?
Gu Man closed her eyes and rested. It was so boring to talk to this group of people. They kept repeating the same few insults.
Everyone was about to criticize her when a clear voice sounded. “Miss, sorry to have kept you waiting!”
Bai Ling saw so many people. “Are these people that Miss knows?”
“No!” Gu Man pulled Bai Ling away.
“If you don’t know them, why do they look so fierce?”
“Bored dogs will bark and shout when they see pa.s.sersby!” 1
“Gu Man, watch your mouth!” Gu Yuan could not take it anymore. 1
“Uncle, what right do you have to be fierce to my sister?” Bai Ling couldn’t take it anymore. No one had dared to shout in front of her since she was young.
“Young lady, move aside. I’m teaching my daughter a lesson. Mind your own business.” Gu Yuan saw that she was just a little girl and did not care.
“Let’s go. This kind of person isn’t worth being angry at.” Gu Man ignored the commotion behind her and pulled Bai Ling away.
Seeing Gu Man leave, Qu Bei smiled and said, “That girl is insensible. Don’t let her affect everyone’s mood. Let’s hurry and go eat. Everyone is hungry.”
The waiter brought them to the Three Good Gates. Gu Yuan asked, “Were the two girls from earlier on eating here?”
The waiter replied, “Yes, they are guests of the Nine Dragon Gate. Miss Bai is a regular here!” 1
“Nine Dragon Gate?” Everyone was surprised.
The private rooms in Fragrance Hotel were arranged according to the One Open Gate, Double Happiness Gate, Three Good Gates, Four Pa.s.s Gate, Five Blessings Gate, Six Smooth-Sailing Gate, Seven Star Gate, Nine Dragon Gate, Ten Perfect Gate, Hundred Prosperities Gate, and Millennium Gate. The higher it went, the higher the splendor of it. In other words, the higher it went, the harder it was to book. 4
Now, they could only book Gate No. 3, but Gu Man was at Nine Dragon Gate.
This was a little embarra.s.sing. 1
