Su Jin remained composed, linking arms with Ruan Yunhan and explaining with a smile, "Yunhan, today's situation was unexpected. How about tomorrow? I'll drive you to the floating restaurant over Nanhu Lake now, it's quite interesting."
Ruan Chen was too lazy to watch the young couple's tiff and prepared to go inside.
She took two steps and reached out to pull Fu Jianzhi, but her hand grasped nothing. When she turned around, she saw that Fu Jianzhi was actually watching with great interest.
It's as if if you give him a pen and a notebook, he'll start taking notes right there.
She raised her voice slightly, "I'm leaving."
Fu Jianzhi reluctantly withdrew his gaze and ran to Ruan Chen like a puppy.
Su Jin was a little helpless, but he still restrained his temper and looked at the waiter, "Could you ask Mr. Xu if it would be possible to add two more seats tonight?"
The waiter looked somewhat embarrassed, and Su Jin handed him a light gold membership card.
The waiter immediately noticed the logo on the card, became extremely nervous, and bowed, saying, "Mr. Su, I'll go ask right away."
"No need to ask anymore, it won't work."
A soft, weak voice came through.
Xu Qingjing came out in person.
The butler pushed the wheelchair behind him, and Xu Qingjing looked like he was still recovering from a serious illness.
He already had feminine features, looking somewhat effeminate. Coupled with this sickly air, he was as fragile as an orchid that hadn't even had a chance to bloom and was about to wither away due to lack of sunlight and rain.
Xu Qingjing didn't know Su Jin, but he knew very well who Ruan Yunhan was, and he also knew about Yu Wanqing's scheming against the Xu family and Ruan Chen back then.
He's not a difficult person to talk to; if a regular couple wanted to add extra seats, he would definitely agree.
But Ruan Yunhan is not an option.
Because she had offended Ruan Chen.
No one noticed that the moment Xu Qingjing spoke, Fu Jianzhi tensed up and secretly stared at Xu Qingjing.
He secretly thought to himself, "She's sickly and looks quite pitiful. She even looks like a girl. Could Ruan Chen really have such poor taste?"
When he was rejected so bluntly, Su Jin simply smiled and said, "Sorry to bother you."
At this moment, Ruan Yunhan shook off Su Jin's hand and arrogantly walked up to the waiter, saying, "Have your boss come out to see me."
The waiter gave Su Jin a troubled look.
Su Jin nodded almost imperceptibly, signaling him to go.
Ruan Chen didn't care what kind of trouble Ruan Yunhan was up to. She pulled Fu Jianzhi over to Xu Qingjing's side, glanced at his leg, and asked, "Even with your family's wealth, you can't cure it?"
Fu Jianzhi: Is Ruan Chen concerned about him?
The group had no intention of causing trouble and walked into the restaurant while chatting.
Xu Qingjing said regretfully, "I've been paralyzed for too long, and the muscles and nerves in my lower limbs have completely atrophied. I've tried many treatments recently, and the doctor said it's possible to regain some sensation, but the chances of standing up are slim."
Because Xu Qingjing was in a wheelchair, the group moved very slowly. After walking only a few steps, they heard Ruan Yunhan's voice, "Little sister, isn't it inappropriate for you to go out and date men behind the family's back?"
Ruan Chen's face immediately fell, and he cursed in a voice only the three of them could hear, "Damn it, is this woman sick?"
Xu Qingjing smiled, sat in his wheelchair, and looked up at Ruan Chen's profile.
No wonder Mom said that the second daughter of the Ruan family looks a bit like Weiwei.
Thinking of this, his smile turned bitter, and he gently placed his hand on his chest, where the girl's name and her smile were tattooed.
Ruan Chen turned around, her face clearly showing impatience. "None of your business."
Ruan Yunhan put on a kind and motherly demeanor in front of Su Jin, saying, "I am your older sister. You are not yet an adult. Isn't it only right that I discipline you?"
In comparison, she does seem very much like Ruan Chen, who is immature and doesn't know any better.
“Your ex-boyfriend died a violent death less than half a month ago, your mother is still in jail, and your father survived today and is still lying in a hospital bed. Doesn’t that stop you, the devoted girlfriend and filial daughter, from having dinner with men?” Ruan Chen gestured for Xu Qingjing to keep an eye on Fu Jianzhi for her and directly confronted him, “From a moral, logical, and filial standpoint, you shouldn’t be able to eat. What right do you have to tell me what to do?”
The very first sentence broke Ruan Yunhan's defenses.
Her breathing became noticeably rapid with anger. She was about to ask if that wasn't her father, and then use the man next to Ruan Chen to launch a personal attack on her.
But before she could speak, Ruan Chen launched her second attack, "Alright, stop panting. Remember, if you're in the wrong, don't cause trouble. Next time, I might not be able to control my mouth and say something you don't want to hear even more."
With a cold expression, Ruan Chen finished speaking, then turned around and said, "Let's go inside, I'm quite hungry."
Xu Qingjing said, "Okay."
Just then, the restaurant manager came running over, wiping the sweat from his brow, and greeted Su Jin first, "Mr. Su, I really didn't expect you to come tonight."
Su Jin nodded slightly, as if Ruan Chen's words had no effect on him. He looked at Ruan Yunhan with deep affection and tenderness, "My girlfriend is having dinner here tonight."
"yes."
Ruan Yunhan looked at Su Jin with a strange, shrewd expression.
It's obvious that her new boyfriend is quite capable.
She tentatively asked, "Are you a regular customer?"
"No, this is my first time here too. It's just that my family owns a property in Jingzhou." Su Jin's tone was calm, without any hint of boasting.
Ruan Yunhan wasn't very clear about the Su family's background, but she had a gut feeling that she had struck gold this time.
The restaurant manager stopped Xu Qingjing, half-kneeling, and said in a low voice, "Sir, I'm so sorry. We'll compensate you tenfold for tonight's expenses. In addition, we'll offer you a 50% discount on every meal you have thereafter. Is that alright?"
Xu Qingjing's eyes and brows had a sinister look about them.
He just wanted to seize this opportunity to repay Ruan Chen and get closer to her, but he didn't expect it to go so smoothly.
"I won't agree."
The restaurant manager broke out in a cold sweat and looked up at Su Jin.
That's Mr. Su.
That was Mr. Su, who was notoriously capricious and ruthless in the family.
Su Jin and Ruan Yunhan were just laughing and talking. Judging from their expressions, it seemed that the woman was being petulant and Mr. Su was coaxing his new girlfriend.
However, Mr. Su was gentle with every girlfriend he had.
Xu Qingjing's wheelchair went straight around him, trying to go inside, but the restaurant manager practically tumbled and crawled to his side to block him.
Ruan Chen felt a bit weary and impatient—she didn't care where they ate the meal or Ruan Yunhan at all. "How about we go somewhere else? It's almost eight o'clock, and we have important business to attend to."
Upon hearing this, Fu Jianzhi, who seemed to have been looking at her phone to pass the time, looked up and said, "Sis, wait a minute."
He pointed to a sign on the side and said quietly, "I'm going to the restroom."
Ruan Chen and Xu Qingjing waited for Fu Jianzhi outside the door. Ruan Yunhan walked arrogantly towards the restaurant with her new boyfriend Su Jin. When she passed Ruan Chen, she deliberately stopped and sneered triumphantly, "Hurry up and go home, little sister."
Just then, the restaurant manager's phone rang.
His face looked ashen, as if he had ingested some unknown brown substance from the bathroom.
The Cloud Restaurant is located on the top floor of the Cloud Sea Building, the tallest building in Jingzhou.
The call was from the owner of Yunhai Building, demanding the termination of the lease agreement between the two parties and that Yunshang Restaurant immediately cease operations and all ongoing business activities.
