Chen Rou suddenly lost her temper, leaving the two big shots bewildered and speechless for a long time.
But Chen Rou hadn't vented enough when she slammed her hand on the table. Pointing to Han Yuzhu's portrait across from her, she said, "Have you two never thought about why Chairman Han would rather adopt me than hand me over to you?"
Han Yuzhu knew perfectly well whose child she was, but she left a will before she died, forbidding anyone from revealing her background.
On a larger scale, she was certainly paving the way for her son, but on a smaller scale, she was also considering the environmental problems in Kowloon: prostitution, theft, fighting, brawling, and violence. Kowloon was not a suitable place for girls to live.
Chen Rou slammed her hand on the table again and said, "Even when I went to Kowloon, I was groped and harassed, let alone other girls."
Master Dong was a man of strong character and rather impulsive, but he was also genuinely angry. He said, "Arou, go and identify who that person is. Don't worry, I won't let him live until tomorrow morning."
But Master Er thought things through more comprehensively, and he was also willing to apologize, saying, "It seems that there are indeed some bad apples among the henchmen."
He wanted to deflect the blame, but Chen Rou deliberately shifted the blame onto him: "As far as I know, almost every girl in Kowloon has experienced sexual harassment. Aren't there too many bad apples among you?"
She was bullied, and that person, whether it was Master Er or Master Dong, would definitely not let him get away with it.
But the most urgent thing was to comfort the child who had been wronged, so Grandpa Dong stood up first: "How about this, even if it's my fault, Grandpa will apologize to you, so don't be angry, okay?"
The matter is still unresolved, so what kind of grandfather is he?
Although Master Er stood up later, he spoke much more eloquently than Master Dong.
He said, “Every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor. Ah Rou’s anger today is not entirely for herself, but for the many young girls in Kowloon, as well as the uncles, aunts, grandparents, and other elderly people. What I should do is not just apologize, but to clean up the ranks, strictly discipline the henchmen, and prevent them from abusing their power and committing crimes in the future.”
One-Eyed clicked his tongue. Master Dong had a bad feeling. Master Er's words were too beautiful. He was afraid that Chen Rou would be happy after hearing them and would not recognize him. Instead, she would recognize Master Er as her grandfather.
His gaze swept toward Master Er, his eyes burning with fierce intensity.
Although Master Er wasn't as agitated as him, he had a cold smile on his lips and his eyes were filled with daggers.
The two exchanged blows, their eyes flashing with a fierce, unspoken tension.
But clearly, even Master Er didn't guess the true purpose of Chen Rou's trap at today's banquet.
She was angry just now, but suddenly smiled and said, "It's so nice to have dinner with you two."
For many people, having a meal with family is a very ordinary thing, but for these two old men, having a meal with Chen Rou was extremely difficult. Seeing how happy she was, the two big shots exchanged another glance. This time, there was no dagger in Mr. Er's eyes, and no flame in Mr. Dong's eyes.
Just then, Mrs. Dai came in with a smile: "Vice Chairman Chen, shall we start serving the dishes?"
Then, looking at Master Er and Master Dong, they said, "Today, to welcome you two, I specially invited a chef from Singapore. Although you may not have heard of him, he was the head chef of the Nie family when our Chairman Han was alive."
Now, not only Master Er and Master Dong, but also One-Eyed and Brother Chicken's eyes lit up.
Chicken Bro knew more and said, "It's Abalone Zhang, right? I heard his soft-boiled abalone is the best in Hong Kong."
Mrs. Dai said with a smile, "Back then, our Chairman Han's favorite dish was his soft-boiled abalone. Please do me the honor."
Logically speaking, it would be impossible for Master Er and Master Dong to eat at the same table, but what if Han Yuzhu sat in the middle seat, and the chef invited by Mrs. Dai was a famous old chef who no longer cooks?
Mrs. Dai clapped her hands, and the waiters filed in with the dishes. Now, even if Mr. Dong and Mr. Er didn't want to eat, they had to.
But given how much effort went into this meal, Chen Rou certainly couldn't just treat it as a simple meal.
But since we've already invited them, we should make sure they're happy with the food first.
Moreover, Chen Rou did have a favor to ask, so she used a combination of kindness and pressure. When the soft-boiled abalone arrived, she gave the waiter a look, signaling him not to help. Then she got up and went to Master Er's side, suddenly saying, "Something's not right!"
Although they appeared to be on good terms, both Master Er and Master Dong were furious inside. Apart from the usual dishes, they barely touched the food on the table and were always ready to find fault with each other or find an excuse to fight.
At this moment, Chen Rou suddenly said something was wrong, and Master Er was startled: "What's wrong?"
With a wink from Master Dong, the one-eyed man behind him immediately picked up a dagger, but Chen Rou used a fork to pick up the abalone and said, "I love abalone the most, but the abalone the waiter gave you is bigger than mine."
She smiled again and said, "Give me yours, and I'll give you mine in return, okay?"
So she was just being affectionate with herself?
Grandpa Er glanced sideways at Grandpa Dong, his laughter unusually kind: "I'm old, I don't like eating these anymore, you can have them all."
Why do you only steal Erye's abalone and not his?
Mr. Dong felt wronged and sad, but the child only wanted an abalone. Should he start a fight?
Okay, he'll hold back for now, but he won't eat abalone either. Anyway, just looking at the arrogant faces of Master Er and Brother Chicken makes him full. But just then, the chef brought out another dish, roasted pigeon, which, of course, is also a regular dish.
Chen Rou only glanced at it, but Grandpa Dong, driven entirely by his love for his granddaughter, exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, "Wow, this pigeon is really big!"
Of course, it was Chen Rou's idea, and Mrs. Dai did it on purpose. But the pigeon she gave Chen Rou was particularly small, while the one she gave to Master Dong was exceptionally large. Huo Qi, oblivious to the situation, saw that Chen Rou's pigeon was small and picked up his own. However, Master Dong immediately snorted and the one-eyed man had already brought the pigeon over: "Miss, please have this one."
