"It's enough for a family to have one person who is good at interpersonal relationships." After saying this, Mrs. Zhou looked at Liu Qinghuan with gossip.
Liu Qinghuan's face flushed, not knowing how to explain: "It's not what you think..."
Seeing Liu Qinghuan like this, Mrs. Zhou knew what was going on. After all, the two were not married, so she didn't say much and just went to greet other ladies and young ladies.
There were eight people sitting at Liu Qinghuan's table. Except for Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. She, who she knew, the other ladies looked unfamiliar to her.
"This must be Owner Liu of Huanxi Restaurant. She's truly an elite woman." She's good at speaking sweetly and assessing the situation. Whether it's to give face to Madam Zhou or for Liu Qinghuan herself, making friends with her is the right thing to do now.
However, there are also people who cannot see the situation clearly.
"He's just a restaurant owner. There are hundreds of them in Yuncheng. My mother says that girls should stay in the boudoir. Those who show their faces in public are not from good families!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Qinghuan couldn't help but glance at her. She saw that the person who spoke was a woman in a water-green dress, about sixteen or seventeen years old. She rolled her eyes at her when she saw her looking at her.
The woman next to the aqua-colored one was wearing a pink dress and a purple cape. She looked like a sister or best friend. She tugged at her sleeve and said, "Xiaomei, stop talking nonsense. Apologize to Boss Liu!"
"Sister, I didn't say anything wrong. Why should I apologize?" The woman called Xiaomei broke away from her sister and looked at Liu Qinghuan provocatively.
At this time, Liu Qinghuan's expression was still normal, but Mrs. Zhou's face turned dark.
"Boss Liu, I'm Xie Xiaoyue, the eldest daughter of the Xie family. I'm here to apologize to you on behalf of my third sister Xiaoyue. She's been spoiled by her mother since she was little, and she doesn't have manners. I hope Boss Liu won't mind."
Xie Xiaoyue looked at Mrs. Zhou and saw that her expression had eased, and she felt relieved.
"Sister..." Xie Xiaomei wanted to say something, but was glared back by Xie Xiaoyue.
Madam Zhou spoke slowly, "Since your mother didn't come today, I don't want to pursue this further. But Xiaoyue, you must keep a close eye on your sister. If I hear anyone slandering the Liu family's daughter again, I will not let them off lightly."
Xie Xiaoyue hurriedly responded, and Xie Xiaomei also lowered her head when she heard Mrs. Zhou say this.
How could she forget.
When Mrs. Zhou was at her parents' home, she often traveled around with her father. It was during their business trips that she met Mr. Zhou.
But after getting married, there must be a master in the house, so she became the housekeeper and mistress.
Now, telling her that it is not allowed for women to show up in public is just another slap in her face.
Xie Xiaomei was secretly frightened, but fortunately the Xie family had a great reputation, so Madam Zhou did not embarrass her in front of others.
However, I'm afraid I'll be scolded when I get home.
Liu Qinghuan watched everyone's expressions, especially Jie Xiaomei's. He found it very interesting, but did not dare to show it. He could only pick up the wine and hide his smile by drinking.
Soon all the dishes were served. After the last Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was opened, the whole yard was filled with the aroma of wine.
"Is this the current signature dish of Huanxi Restaurant? They say they only serve twenty portions a day. Mr. Zhou is truly generous. I'm afraid today's table has already ordered all the portions from Huanxi Restaurant."
The male guests at the table all looked cheerful, toasting each other happily.
"Brother Ye, what does your family do for a living?"
