When Hua Cheng mentioned the door to the private room, Gu Yue remembered to glance at it.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a serious matter. Due to the sudden impact, one of the two doors to the private room had its hinge broken and was now hanging precariously on the door frame. The other door was in even worse shape, with a large scratch on its wooden frame.
She must have been furious with this woman to have used so much force.
Gu Yue was furious: What kind of lousy door is this? It's so flimsy.
The waiters and manager had rushed over when they heard the commotion, only to find that the only seriously damaged items were their own two doors.
Then, after hearing Hua Cheng say that it was this woman who broke it, everyone stared intently at Gu Yue, waiting for what would happen next.
"It's just a broken door, why are you staring at me like that? Tell me, how much is it? I'll pay you back."
"Esteemed guest, this door was crafted by our carpenter, Master Li Hexian, and is worth 1,200 yuan."
Upon hearing Li Hexian's name, Qian Lai immediately remembered that he must be the reincarnation of Lu Ban, who was once praised by the great man and was known as the "Master Carpenter".
The great man greatly admired his artistic achievements and craftsmanship, and personally wrote an inscription for him.
In later generations, a wooden bird doll he made by hand was auctioned for a high price of 500,000.
"1200? Are you trying to extort me?" Gu Yue's face twisted with anger.
“We are a state-owned enterprise with clear and transparent accounting records. If you wish to inspect the accounts, we are ready to assist you at any time.”
The manager's face darkened; this woman was clearly going to renege on her debt.
Gu Yue's face turned purple with anger, and she quickly thought of a way to escape.
"If you want compensation, go find her. She's my sister-in-law, and she's having an affair here. I was so angry with her that I used too much force. It's all her fault. Find her, find her..."
As he spoke, he tried to hide outside the door, but unfortunately, the door to the private room was already blocked by diners and waiters who had come to watch the commotion.
After hearing her words, people started to discuss it.
"It seems the sister-in-law caught her sister-in-law cheating. Who wouldn't be angry?"
"Exactly. If I caught my sister-in-law having an affair, I'd probably tear this roof off."
Hearing the whispers, Gu Yue gradually gained confidence. She stopped running away and stood there triumphantly, arms crossed, waiting to see Qian Lai make a fool of himself.
"Manager, I have no relationship with her whatsoever. I have never registered a marriage with her brother, and I am not her sister-in-law."
As for the bride price and dowry she mentioned, her brother has his own arrangements.
We're here today just for a gathering of friends. It's not at all what she described as infidelity.
In this new society, does a man and a woman having a meal together mean that the woman is having an affair?
Besides, there's a woman here with us; we have a completely innocent friendship.
Qian Lai loudly explained everything.
"Oh, so you haven't registered your marriage. Well, having a meal together isn't a big deal. We eat together as men and women, does that mean we've cheated on each other? Hahahaha."
"It seems this woman has misunderstood someone."
"Then she'll definitely have to pay for this door. Goodness, 1,200! That's several years' salary."
"Don't listen to her excuses!" Gu Yue rushed in front of Qian Lai, but was blocked by Hua Cheng. She angrily pointed at Qian Lai, "I'm telling you, I will definitely tell my brother about what happened today."
Let my brother teach you a lesson. Since you're my Gu family's prospective daughter-in-law, you can't escape my Gu family's control.
Let me tell you, even though my brother is paralyzed, the Gu family has spies everywhere.
We don't allow you to have any contact with other men; that's my family rule.
"You took the bride price and dowry; you're my family's dog in life, and you'll be my family's dead dog in death..."
Wow~
Gu Yue's remarks became increasingly vicious, shattering the values of everyone present.
"What? Her brother is paralyzed? They make such a good girl work like a slave for their family, and they don't even allow her to have her own friends."
"My God, what kind of family is this? So many years after liberation, how can they still act like those tyrannical landlords?"
"I was just feeling sorry for her, thinking her sister-in-law was having an affair. Now that I see this, I wish I could help rescue this trapped girl."
"Click," "Click, click"...
As people were discussing the matter, a young man raised his camera and started snapping photos of Gu Yue, muttering, "I'm a reporter from the Evening News. Comrade, your perspective on marriage is truly unique, and it's a hot topic right now. I'll take a close-up of you; it'll be in the paper tomorrow!"
Gu Yue: "Stop right there! I won't allow you to report this!"
She rushed up and tried to snatch the other person's camera, but the other person nimbly dodged. The onlookers started cheering for both sides, and the scene descended into chaos.
The man in the suit who was waiting to go on a blind date with Gu Yue looked extremely unhappy after seeing Gu Yue's performance tonight.
Luckily, this woman arrived late today. If she had taken a liking to me, my household would probably be in turmoil from then on.
Taking advantage of the chaos, the man ran away without saying a word.
Just then, a deep yet cold voice rang out from outside the crowd: "Gu Yue, have you made enough trouble?"
The crowd that had been jeering in the aisle immediately fell silent.
Gu Yue could hardly believe her eyes, but outside the door was clearly Xiao Li pushing a wheelchair, and in the wheelchair was her older brother, Gu Hanchuan.
The wheelchair weaved through the crowd and entered the private room.
Gu Hanchuan glanced at Qian Lai first and asked with concern, "She didn't hurt you, did she?"
Qian Lai shook his head.
Fortunately, I called Gu Hanchuan on my way here and told him that I was having dinner with friends and would probably be back late, so he shouldn't worry.
I never expected that he would come to the city in person.
