The four people in the private room all turned to look at Huo Chenyu.

Lu Zhixing, who had just sat down, happened to hand a tissue to Tang Li and said, "You have lipstick on your teeth."

Lipstick?

Tang Li subconsciously pursed her lips.

Wait a minute, she didn't wear any makeup today, so where did she get lipstick?

And the way Lu Zhixing handed the tissue to Tang Li's lips...

Tsk tsk.

How incredibly affected, pretentious, deliberate, and ambiguous it all is!

In Huo Chenyu's eyes, it became what was called "Mandarin Ducks Playing in the Water".

He quickened his pace and headed straight for Tang Li.

But as she passed by Ling Ran, Ling Ran stopped her:

"Waiter, could you please refill my tea?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Li, Tang Sui, and Lu Zhixing were all shocked.

All three pairs of eyes were fixed on Ling Ran.

In the entire Tanzhou, perhaps only Ling Ran dared to treat Huo Chenyu like a waiter.

Seeing that Huo Chenyu did not react, Ling Ran raised his head, frowned, and urged:

"What are you standing there for? Refill my tea. Can you understand me? Or are you...deaf and mute?"

I don't know what kind of weird thought process Ling Ran has, but he actually picked up the teapot in front of him, made a pouring motion, and then pointed to the spout, meaning that there was no water coming out and he needed to add some more.

Huo Chenyu looked at him coldly:

"I think you're more lacking in brains than in tea."

After saying that, he bent down and spun the turntable, turning the plate of Mapo Tofu and Braised Pig Brains on the table in front of Ling Ran: "Please enjoy."

Ling Ran couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

Perhaps in his mind, he had never seen anyone in the service industry act so arrogantly.

Tang Sui timely came to his rescue, asking Huo Chenyu:

"Mr. Huo, what are you holding in your hand?"

Mr. Huo?

This title is a bit hurtful.

Huo Chenyu glanced at Tang Sui, who lowered her head guiltily, not daring to meet Huo Chenyu's gaze.

After all, until yesterday, she called him brother-in-law.

With the title "President Huo," he completely severed ties with Tang Li.

Huo Chenyu slammed the plate he was holding down in front of Tang Li and said in a muffled voice:

"Your snack."

Tang Li almost burst out laughing, finding it both funny and infuriating.

He picked up the spoon in front of him and gently poked at the pile of pastry paste, then asked with a smile:

"Excuse me, waiter, may I ask if this is a new product of your store? It's very unique."

Lu Zhixing glanced at it, and a smile crept across his lips, though he managed to keep his composure and said with feigned seriousness:

"I'm so sorry, this dessert seems to have been served to the wrong place. I ordered the 'Mandarin Duck Pair' dessert, but this one..."

It has absolutely no shape!

It's even a bit eye-watering.

Huo Chenyu said irritably:

"This wild duck was playing and fell into the mud and got all mushy. You'll have to make do with it."

This is probably something we can't compromise on.

Although mandarin ducks resemble wild ducks, it's rather unethical for him to talk about them like that.

Lu Zhixing waved his hand:

"Could you please ask the waiter to bring another plate?"

Huo Chenyu took Tang Li's spoon, scooped a spoonful into Lu Zhixing's bowl, and pulled up a chair to sit next to Tang Li, gesturing for Lu Zhixing to try it.

"The same applies to the next serving. From now on, this shop will no longer serve the 'Mandarin Ducks Flying Together' dessert. Mr. Lu, you should still try it."

Lu Zhixing suppressed a laugh:

"Then I'll order a Mandarin Duck Bath."

Huo Chenyu crossed his legs and answered:

"This dish is not available at our restaurant."

"What do you sell in your store?" Lu Zhixing pressed.

Huo Chenyu stared at Tang Li and squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth:

"Our shop only offers to break up couples."

Lu Zhixing couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing:

"Then let's serve up a dish that breaks up the couple."

Huo Chenyu reached out, picked up the plate of pastries, walked past Tang Li, and handed it to Lu Zhixing, indicating:

"The name of this dessert is 'Breaking Up the Couple'."

What a cruel twist of fate!

Even if Ling Ran was slow to react, he could tell that Huo Chenyu wasn't a waiter; he seemed more like someone who was there to cause trouble.

Taking the opportunity, Ling Ran moved her chair closer to Tang Sui and asked in a low voice:

Who is he?

Tang Sui gave a very meticulous answer:

"You don't even know who he is? Before yesterday, he was the president of the Huo Group, the ruthless and invincible Huo Yanwang, but right now, he is called Huo Chenyu."

Ling Ran shook his head:

"No, I'm asking what his relationship is with Brother Xing and his wife."

sister in law?

Tang Sui chuckled:

"You call me sister-in-law?"

Before Ling Ran could answer, Huo Chenyu had already moved towards Ling Ran and the others, raising an eyebrow and asking angrily:

"Little kid, are you starved for love? Going around calling everyone 'sister-in-law,' do they even have any certificates? They just invited you over for a meal to get acquainted with you, why are you calling them 'sister-in-law'? Don't they have names? How can you be so rude? Do your teachers at school know about this?"

Ling Ran: "......"

This series of questions was clearly fueled by boiling anger.

Ling Ran leaned close to Tang Sui's ear and said:

"It has been seven years since I graduated from university. I am twenty-nine years old this year, thirty in the traditional Chinese age reckoning, the age of establishing myself."

Tang Sui was shocked:

"Wow, how do you take care of yourself? You really look like a guy who just finished the college entrance exam and entered university."

Ling Ran completely disregarded Huo Chenyu, scratching the back of her head somewhat shyly:

"I started working in design right after graduation. I'm usually a homebody, so my skin looks fairer and makes me look younger, probably because I don't get much sun exposure."
