Chapter 22 Humiliation! Kicked Out! Hatred!
Master Yang looked at his beloved disciple in surprise, "Mianmian, tell me quickly, what's the solution?"
She had rejected Lu Lian'er multiple times and told her that she had already taken on disciples and would not take on any more.
But Lu Lian'er was persistent and came to her house to bother her again.
Xia Mian leaned close to Master Yang's ear and whispered a few words. Master Yang nodded repeatedly, "That's right. I'll do it that way."
After saying goodbye to Master Yang, Zhao Baoqi drove away in his red Porsche with Xia Mian.
"Mianmian, what should we eat? Barbecue or hot pot?"
"My older brother actually gave me pocket money! Let's go have some fun!" Zhao Baoqi excitedly told Xia Mian as he drove, revealing that he had suddenly been fed by his older brother.
"I'm so tired... I desperately need some good food to replenish my energy, let's have barbecue! Wagyu beef, fatty beef, lamb, pork belly... I want to eat it all!"
Xia Mian took a bath in the Yang family's courtyard house and changed into spare dry clothes. She felt so hungry that she could eat a whole cow.
She slumped in the passenger seat, feeling like she barely had the strength to lift her arm.
"I know a barbecue restaurant that's really good! Let's go!" Zhao Baoqi drove Xia Mian straight to the location of the barbecue restaurant.
The barbecue restaurant was beautifully decorated, and as soon as you stepped inside, you could smell the sizzling aroma of barbecue.
Zhao Baoqi and Xia Mian chose a window seat on the second floor, where they could see the scenery outside.
As dusk falls and the streets come alive with traffic, many pedestrians stroll along the riverbank, which is close to the river.
Unexpectedly, fate brought them together again, and they ran into Lu Lian'er and Xia Qingyang!
Lu Lian'er was originally complaining to him in a coquettish tone, "What's wrong with Master Yang... I practically knelt down to her today, but she still wouldn't accept me. Second brother, please think of something..."
"Second Brother? Why aren't you saying anything?"
She followed Xia Qingyang's gaze and saw Xia Mian sitting by the window with a petite, unfamiliar girl!
A hint of jealousy flashed in Lu Lian'er's eyes. Xia Mian was wearing a bohemian-style resort dress, which complemented the night view of the river outside the window, making her beautiful and eye-catching.
"Xia Mian? What's she doing here? Second brother..."
Before Lu Lian'er could finish speaking, Xia Qingyang, with an icy expression, led her to Xia Mian and Zhao Baoqi.
"Xia Mian! Do you know you were wrong?"
Xia Mian raised an eyebrow slightly, "What did I do wrong?"
"It seems you don't realize your mistake." Xia Qingyang's handsome face seemed to be covered with a layer of ice. "You haven't been home for so many days. Do you even care about the Xia family anymore?"
Xia Mian sneered, "Every time you see me, is that the only two sentences you ever say?"
She paused for a moment, then said, "It's pretty boring."
Lu Lian'er spoke in a sweet, coquettish voice.
"Xia Mian, your second brother is just worried about you. Don't you know him? He may seem cold on the outside, but he's kind-hearted. He might scold you, but he's really concerned about you. Why don't you appreciate it?"
Sure enough, after hearing her words, Xia Qingyang flew into a rage, "I order you to come home with me right now!"
“Your orders don’t work.” Xia Mian remained seated, motionless.
Zhao Baoqi was small in stature, but she had a strong presence. She glared at Lu Lian'er and Xia Qingyang with her big eyes and said, "If you mess with my best friend again, I won't let you off!"
Just then, the manager of the barbecue restaurant suddenly walked over and coldly said to Xia Qingyang and Lu Lian'er, "This place is booked out tonight! Please leave immediately! Our restaurant does not welcome you."
Xia Qingyang's poker face revealed shock and humiliation. "Do you know who I am? I'm the second young master of the Xia Group! I can book the whole place for double the price right now!"
He had never been treated like this by any restaurant in Mingcheng in his entire life!
How dare they kick him out!
"Excuse me, someone has booked the entire place!" The manager continued to shoo Lu Lian'er and Xia Qingyang away. "Please leave immediately, or I will call security."
Xia Qingyang was so angry he was practically fuming. "Xia Mian! Did you do something to me?!"
"Second brother, this has nothing to do with me, right? I didn't take a single penny when I left the Xia family." Xia Mian looked at him sarcastically. "Do you think I have the ability to book the whole place?"
"Then why doesn't the manager fire you?" Lu Lian'er bit her lip, clearly indignant.
"I don't know! Maybe... my best friend and I are good people." Xia Mian's words were absolutely infuriating.
The restaurant staff had already started announcing, "Sorry, this place is booked out for the whole night. Your bill will be paid by a mysterious tycoon."
"Please leave as soon as possible."
Seeing that most of the customers had left, Xia Qingyang had no choice but to drag Lu Lian'er away in humiliation and anger.
Just as Xia Mian was about to leave with Zhao Baoqi in her hand, the manager stopped her.
"Ladies, please wait a moment. Tonight, our restaurant is only hosting two distinguished guests. Please enjoy your meal. If you need anything, please feel free to call me."
The manager's attitude was gentle and respectful, a stark contrast to how he treated Xia Qingyang and Lu Lian'er.
The two girls looked at each other in surprise. Xia Mian asked in astonishment, "Best friend, you booked the whole place?"
"I don't have it! Where would I get that money! Do you think I have too much money to burn?" Zhao Baoqi is not financially independent and only receives 50,000 yuan in pocket money from his parents every month.
She wouldn't dare to be extravagant and wasteful with money.
The manager smiled and took out a bottle of red wine, opening it. "Tonight, everything is on the house, ladies, please don't be shy."
He recalled the mysterious big shot's instructions and came up with a very lame excuse, "Well, it's like this, today is our anniversary celebration, and you two happen to be lucky customers."
"So that's how it is..." Zhao Baoqi breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought we'd suddenly been targeted by some mysterious dark bigwig who wanted to take us back as his bedmates!"
Xia Mian was speechless. "You should watch less anime and read fewer novels!"
Seeing that the two women had no objections, the manager breathed a sigh of relief and quickly hid in a corner to report, "Guard Shen, everything has been arranged."
He also secretly took a photo and sent it to Shen Yu.
He never imagined that he, a mere restaurant manager, would be able to make contact with the bodyguard of the famous Chief Fu!
All of this is thanks to these two young ladies!
Shen Yu immediately forwarded the photo to Fu Yanshen, saying, "Chief, everything is arranged."
“Not bad.” Fu Yanshen nodded, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.
Shen Yu glanced at Fu Yanshen cautiously; the leader had been acting strangely these past two days!
He seemed to be in a good mood, occasionally spacing out, and sometimes his lips would inexplicably curve into a slight smile! Although the smile was very faint and subtle, it was enough to convey a sense of shock and astonishment!
You know, Chief Fu is always aloof and distant, with a cold and indifferent aura. When has he ever smiled at his subordinates?
He was incredibly curious!
Until just now! He saw the photos sent by the restaurant manager.
He knew Zhao Baoqi. The other girl... wasn't she the girl he ate at the private kitchen with?
Shen Yu seemed to have suddenly discovered an incredible secret!
