"Are those customers regulars? They don't seem like it to me!"
Ye Qingqing muttered to herself. She could roughly guess the identities of the guests at this table. They should know that old white lotus from earlier, or perhaps they were relatives from the old white lotus's hometown. Judging from the old white lotus's accent, it seemed to be from a city near Pingjiang City.
"Let me take a closer look."
Tang Yuanyuan squinted, unable to see clearly from a distance. She took a few steps forward, her expression suddenly changed, and anger surged up. Ye Qingqing knew at a glance that she was definitely not a regular customer.
Since Baiweiju opened, Tangyuanyuan has been helping out at the restaurant almost every day. She knows most of the regular customers. You can tell at a glance that this woman just throws a table of people together and claims they are regulars, and even asks the boss to cook for her personally. How shameless of her!
Tang Yuanyuan was furious, her head was about to explode, and she was about to go over and expose her when Ye Qingqing grabbed her and whispered, "Don't rush, let's go and see. I have a feeling that this woman has bad intentions."
“She has ulterior motives and has taken a liking to my dad…” Tang Yuanyuan blurted out, but stopped halfway through, looking somewhat embarrassed.
Ye Qingqing filled in the blank for her, and sneered, "She probably wants to be your stepmother."
Tang Yuanyuan's face turned even uglier. She nodded. Anyway, Qingqing wasn't an outsider, so there was nothing shameful about it. She hated this woman for being shameless, but she was even angrier at her father for being so muddle-headed and soft-hearted, unable to see the true face of the old fox.
If she hadn't been keeping a close eye on things these past few days, that woman would definitely have succeeded in her evil scheme. Tang Yuanyuan sighed heavily, feeling utterly exhausted.
"What's there to worry about? Gods will block them, and ghosts will destroy them. It's just a fox spirit, we'll get rid of it. Your dad's fatal flaw is that he's muddle-headed and soft-hearted. You have to keep a close watch on him," Ye Qingqing said irritably.
To put it bluntly, if Mr. Tang had been more wise and decisive, the Tang family wouldn't have ended up in such a tragic state of ruin. However, no one is perfect, and there are no flawless people in the world. Having a kind-hearted father is always better than having a wicked and irresponsible one.
Her husband is just as easily swayed, not much wiser than Mr. Tang, but relatively better. At least he doesn't bring back women of dubious origin, and his sympathy isn't as excessive.
“Your dad is not even as good as my dad. You should educate him properly in the future, and don’t let him bring home just any Tom, Dick, or Harry.”
Although Tang Yuanyuan resented her father for being useless, she still wanted to protect him. Hearing this, she was unhappy and retorted irritably, "Come on, Uncle Ye and my dad are evenly matched, like a turtle and a soft-shelled turtle. Just you wait and see, maybe one day Uncle Ye will bring a woman home."
"Pah, pah, pah! Your dad's the bastard! Can't he speak like a human being?!"
Ye Qingqing glared at her fiercely, and Tang Yuanyuan realized that she had spoken too quickly and misspoke. She couldn't help but burst out laughing, thoroughly enjoying herself.
The two of them were already not far from that table of 'regulars,' while the old white lotus was still there, covering her mouth and smiling shyly, her eyes full of affection, enough to give you goosebumps.
"Xiulian, you are so lucky! Just half a month ago, your mother and I were chatting about how you were going to live your life. I never expected that you would find such a good partner in Pingjiang City and be so successful. Oh, your mother is so lucky!" A woman in her fifties said with envy and jealousy, her face somewhat similar to that of Old Bailian.
Another woman in her thirties or forties said sourly, "Xiulian, why don't you let your future brother-in-law come over and talk to us? We finally managed to come all this way, and we can't even see him. Your boyfriend is busier than the town mayor!"
