Chapter 56: It’s been a long time since I’ve been so “loved”
Seeing that Gu Chengfeng was really angry, Liu Yonggui waved to the waiter.
"There's no need to serve the food for that table inside. Go in and tell them that someone has booked the private room today. Send in their signed bill and tell them that after they've settled the bill, they shouldn't come back. We won't be serving them."
This boss has a keen eye.
Shen Sisi thought to herself that she was very satisfied with the way her boss handled the situation.
Of course, the person who should have moved her the most was Gu Chengfeng beside her.
No wonder he dared to call the boss with confidence, it turned out they were old acquaintances.
Thinking about the fate between him and his boss, which was fought for with his life, she felt a pang of heartache.
She had some understanding of the hardships of being a soldier.
In the past, soldiers were the cutest people in her eyes.
They defend the country, garrison the borders, hold on to every inch of territory, and protect the lights of thousands of homes.
No matter how difficult and dangerous the situation is, as long as the people are in trouble, no matter how dangerous and difficult it is, they are always at the forefront, just to fulfill their mission and responsibilities.
But when she changed her identity and became a soldier's family member, what was the cutest person? In her eyes, there was only unspeakable heartache.
The last time she changed his dressing, Shen Sisi saw the scars of all sizes on his body. They were his "medals", but they were also proof of his bleeding.
If possible, she really didn't want Gu Chengfeng to be at the forefront of everything.
I don't want him to go to the front line where there is danger and crisis.
But... she couldn't say it, just because he was a soldier!
She stood there, her heart torn, when suddenly the sound of cups being smashed came from inside the private room.
"Chen Ting, can you please get out of here? Can't you see that I'm talking to Mr. Wang?"
"You're deliberately trying to embarrass me, aren't you?"
Yang Huaidong yelled at the top of his lungs, and vaguely heard a loud slap.
Soon, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie came out with his secretary, looking angry.
Yang Huaidong kept chasing after him, hunched over and trying to please him: "Boss Wang, please stay. We haven't discussed our business yet..."
Mr. Wang pulled his hand away without even turning his head: "I think there's no need for us to cooperate..."
Yang Huaidong was left behind like this, his nose and eyes on his greasy face almost squeezed together.
"Chen Ting, you did a great job..."
Chen Ting covered her face and walked out of the private room crying. Her left cheek was visibly swollen.
"I didn't mean to do that. Who knew this waiter was so ignorant?"
Being stared at by so many eyes, he couldn't get angry: "I'll deal with you when I get back!"
He grabbed Chen Ting's hair and dragged her out. When he passed by Shen Sisi, he suddenly stopped and his lustful eyes couldn't help but glance at her.
Gu Chengfeng instantly caught his obscene gaze.
His narrow eyes stabbed at people like a knife, and his bloodshot eyes were more manic than a beast. He was going to tear him apart with his bare hands in the next second.
Yang Huaidong quickly came to his senses and walked quickly and hurriedly...
The waiter stood there blankly, holding a notebook: "Boss, he hasn't paid yet. Should I chase him?"
Liu Yonggui snorted, "Why are you chasing me? Go to the paper mill tomorrow to collect the debt. Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and pack up. Invite our distinguished guests to the private room..."
Gu Chengfeng nodded at him to express his gratitude.
Liu Yonggui's brows relaxed, and he looked visibly happy. "I'll waive today's bill. Just consider it a thank you for saving our family."
Gu Chengfeng's gaze, which had softened slightly, became fierce again: "If you say that, let alone this meal, I will never come to your state-owned restaurant again."
"I'm a soldier. It's my duty to save the people from danger. I won't take advantage of you."
He insisted on paying, as it was a matter of principle. Liu Yonggui couldn't persuade him, so he could only ask the waiters to recognize his face and greet him more warmly next time Gu Chengfeng and his family came to eat.
Gu Chengfeng then led Shen Sisi and the child into the small private room.
As soon as they ordered the food, Gu Changmei and Xu Hongying pushed open the door.
"Sorry for the wait..."
Shen Sisi smiled and said, “It’s okay, we just sat down.”
She looked at the two of them calmly and found that their ears were red from the cold and they were breathing hot air from their mouths. It seemed that they had walked a long way.
Gu Changmei had just sat down and drank a cup of tea when she took out a slender red gift box from her bag.
Xu Hongying didn't even have time to drink the water, and hurriedly took out a square gift box.
This... looks like a jewelry box.
"Sisi, I came here in a hurry, and I didn't prepare anything for you. This necklace is a gold chain given to me by my elders when I got married. I haven't used it much, so it's still brand new. I'm giving it to you. I hope you like it..."
As she spoke, she opened the lid of the box.
The next second, a glittering golden chain appeared before his eyes.
There was a hollow heart-shaped pendant hanging below the chain, which was so dazzling that she couldn't take her eyes off it.
"This, this is too expensive! No, no, I can't accept it."
This is my aunt’s wedding gift. She probably doesn’t even want to keep it. How can Shen Sisi have the nerve to accept it?
"Hey, what's there to be embarrassed about?" Xu Hongying didn't beat around the bush like Gu Changmei. She grabbed Shen Sisi's hand roughly, and then put a big gold bracelet on her wrist.
Shen Sisi felt a chill on her wrist, followed by a heavy feeling.
Looking at the finger-wide dragon and phoenix bracelet on her wrist, she was stunned. Such heavy gold must be worth a lot of money...
The betrothal gift that Gu Chengfeng gave her was already a lot, completely exceeding the betrothal gift list for an ordinary marriage.
Unexpectedly, her aunt and mother also gave her a gold necklace and a gold bracelet.
What kind of wealthy family is this?
Shen Sisi tried to pull at the bracelet with all her strength, but she couldn't get rid of Xu Hongying's big hand.
"Why are you pushing it? This is a gift from us to our new bride. If you don't accept it, you're being disrespectful..."
Xu Hongying is straightforward and has a quick temper.
In the words of Gu Chengfeng's father, he is more manly than any other man.
Shen Sisi's head was buzzing. She really didn't expect that this family had avoided her and her mother and went out to plot, and they were actually discussing giving her a gift.
Suddenly, her eyes couldn't help but feel sour...
Since her parents passed away, she hasn't been so "loved" for a long time...
Although her aunt was good to her, she always had too many concerns. With Chen Jianguo and Chen Ting in the middle, she was always distant from her.
Unexpectedly, there is someone in this world who truly treats her as a family member.
Cherish her like a jewel.
"Not only you, Niu Niu also has a gift..." Gu Changmei winked at Xu Hongying.
Xu Hongying reluctantly took out a small jade pendant with a red rope on it.
She glanced at Niu Niu. Her eyes were not kind, but not as hateful or rejecting as before.
"Let me make it clear first, I'm not accepting your child. I just can't bear to see her so sick."
Xu Hongying pulled the red rope and put it around Niu Niu's neck, then patiently shortened the rope for Niu Niu so that it would hang just above her chest.
Gu Changmei glanced at her, what an old woman who was so concerned about her reputation!
"Sisi, don't listen to your mother's nonsense. She has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. When she heard the salesperson say that this jade can nourish people, she bought it without saying a word."
"Just let Niuniu wear it with her, and slowly her body will get better."
Chen Sisi had indeed heard this saying before: "A person takes care of jade for three years, and jade takes care of the person for a lifetime."
The minerals, trace elements, etc. in jade enter the body through the human skin and can indeed regulate the body.
What's more, this was Xu Hongying's intention.
Shen Sisi was very excited, but how could she, a fake, accept such an expensive gift?
