Chapter 1047: He Lost Again
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xia Cheng felt as if his head was about to explode. His body swayed uncontrollably. He could not accept this news.
This was actually the restaurant Yin Lianxin founded?
Everyone in Li City took pride in being able to enter Yingyun Hall to eat, but now, Yin Jingting actually told him that this was Yin Lianxin’s territory?
At this moment, the manager of Yingyun Hall came forward and asked, “Madam, do you think we should chase them out?”
Yin Lianxin glanced indifferently at the Xia family. She was still so arrogant as if looking at them was a waste of her precious time.
Yin Jingting also understood what his grandmother meant and said, “Old Master Xia made a reservation according to the rules of Yingyun Hall. How can we let them leave? Let them finish their meal here.”
The last sentence was filled with charity and disdain. It was as if in the eyes of the Yin family, the Xia family were not people at all. They were just a group of pitiful stray dogs. If the Yin family was unhappy, they could get them to scram from Li City at any time.
Xia Cheng clenched his fists tightly as monstrous anger surged in his heart. He had always been the one giving alms to others. When was it anyone’s turn to treat him like this? What did the Yin family have to be so proud?
If it were any other time, he would naturally bring everyone away. However, today was Mengyan’s apprenticeship banquet, and Fang Shiyun was rushing over. He could not leave just like that. For Mengyan’s future and the Xia family, he had to accept the Yin family’s charity.
This time, he still lost.
Xia Cheng only felt his face burning as if he had been slapped hard. However, he quickly recovered. No matter how angry he was, he be disgraced in front of so many guests.
However, Old Madam Xia could not take it anymore. Her face was ferocious as she bared her teeth like a wild beast. She had been trampled under Yin Lianxin’s feet her entire life. Now that she finally had a chance to mock the Yin family, it turned out that Yingyun Hall was actually founded by Yin Lianxin!
She originally thought that it was a supreme honor for her granddaughter to hold an apprenticeship banquet in Yingyun Hall, but now, the honor was actually given to her by the Yin family. The humiliation and unwillingness in her heart surged. She only felt a suffocating feeling in her chest. Before she could take a breath, her legs went weak and she fell.
“Old Madam Xia!”
“Quickly send her to the hospital!”
When the manager heard everyone’s roars, he hurriedly went forward to take a look. It seemed that Old Madam Xia had really fainted from anger. He was about to ask Old Madam Yin what to do when he turned around and saw that the Yin family had already walked far away. They did not care about Old Madam Xia’s life at all.
Most of the people present knew that Old Madam Xia was a mistress. The first wife of Xia Cheng was Yin Lianxin. When Yin Lianxin heard that the mistress had fainted, she did not have the slightest intention of watching the show. She turned around and left. She did not seem to mind that the Xia family was making things difficult for Miss Qiao just now. It was not that her heart did not ache for Qiao Xi but that she simply looked down on the Xia family.
…
At this moment, Song Shijing was driving to a teahouse. Gu Zheng took out his gloves and put them on before getting out of the car. His expression was cold, and he exuded a chill.
Song Shijing asked softly, “President, is it here?”
“Yes,” Gu Zheng replied, then he slowly entered.
Song Shijing was also curious about who the president was meeting here. Logically speaking, if they were discussing business, they should go to a restaurant or entertainment venue under Gu Corporation. The president rarely came to a teahouse.
After the two of them entered, they saw that the teahouse was empty except for a young man sitting inside. The teahouse had long been cleared.
Gu Zheng’s sharp gaze landed on the man. The man raised his chin and smiled. “President Gu, I’ve heard a lot about you.”
“Doctor Meng,” Gu Zheng greeted, but his eyes were still cold.
Meng Fan smiled faintly. “President Gu, what’s the matter?”
Gu Zheng did not have time to beat about the bush with him. He went straight to the point. “Doctor Meng, what’s your relationship with Madam Xia Yunqiu?”
Meng Fan stopped drinking his tea. He seemed to be surprised that Gu Zheng was so straightforward. After a moment of silence, he sneered. “The people under President Gu are really powerful. They found out about Xia Yunqiu in just a few days. Then what do you think my relationship with her is?”
Gu Zheng was expressionless as he tapped his fingers on the table as if he had lost his patience.
Under the powerful pressure, Meng Fan did not panic. Instead, he said coldly, “She’s my enemy.”
Gu Zheng raised an eyebrow. These words surprised him. Madam Xia Yunqiu had always been gentle and had a good character. She should not have enemies. If one had to think of who her enemies would be, it should be the Xia family.
But Meng Fan actually said that Xia Yunqiu was his enemy?
