Today’s dishes were unexpectedly to her taste, Sheng Weixia unconsciously ate a little too much, she didn’t put down her chopsticks until she was almost full.

Seeing that everyone was almost finished eating, Jiang Pengtao got up to pay and get a receipt.

But when he asked the waiter, he said that the bill for their private room had already been paid.

“Who paid it?” He looked surprised.

He had already arranged for him to pay for everything today, get the receipt and the bill, and then split it among the several families.

The cashier glanced at the note on the ledger and said, “Our boss paid it directly.”

“Your boss?” Jiang Pengtao was even more confused.

The food at Yan Bo Jiang Nan wasn’t cheap, the favor of paying for this meal was a little too big.

Whose face was he saving by paying?

But it wasn’t appropriate to save anyone’s face, this was their family dinner, how could they accept this favor without knowing anything?

Their family were all in the system, it was even more inappropriate.

“Don’t pay it, I’ll pay myself.” He took out his wallet and started counting the money.

“This…” The cashier was embarrassed, “We’ve already settled the account, we can’t redo it.”

“I don’t care. Unless you get your boss to come out and explain why he paid for it.”

Her eyes flickered, she lowered her head and picked up the phone, “Then please wait a moment.”

After a while, A Jiu appeared in front of the cashier with his hands clasped, his face full of guilt, “Sorry sorry, I’ve caused you to misunderstand.”

A Jiu’s face could be used as a living business card in Jinzhong City, but Jiang Pengtao was from Beijing, he didn’t recognize him.

“So, did you make a mistake?”

“No mistake. Miss Sheng is a good friend of our Miss Shulan, since she is a good friend, and she’s eating at our restaurant, how could we let you spend money?” The guilt on A Jiu’s face wasn’t fake, his guilt was that he trusted the manager of this restaurant too much.

Jiang Pengtao was stunned, Sheng Weixia had clearly said that she wasn’t close to the Yu family, how come in the other person’s mouth, she became a good friend?

He pondered for a moment, then looked up at the other party, “Then in that case, please come back to the private room with me, if my cousin says it’s okay, then thank you for your generosity.”

A Jiu smiled awkwardly and helplessly, “Okay.”

Then he said to the cashier, “Get your manager to come over.”

He told them the ins and outs back in the private room, everyone’s expressions were colorful.

The Gu family couple were shocked, Gu Qingwei was stiff and incredulous, the girls were envious and admiring.

Jiang Pengtao, “Sister, what do you say?”

Sheng Weixia shook her head, “A Jiu, this is too expensive.”

A Jiu rarely ran out of words, “… The profit margin in the catering industry is okay, don’t make me look bad.”

The expressions on the faces of the two girls from the second branch were written with the words “Say it, who are you going to explain to?”

“…” Sheng Weixia didn’t look at the bill, but she guessed it wasn’t cheap, “Then how about a discount?”

Now that it had come to this, she would figure out a way to return this favor to Yu Shulan later.

The manager was very perceptive, he poked his head out from behind, “How about a 40% discount? And a VIP card for our restaurant…”

The words got stuck in his throat, he saw Sheng Weixia, his eyes widened: No wonder he had to pay the bill, he had seen her at the second Miss’s house!

He couldn’t be wrong, his eyes were like a camera!

That day A Jiu said to give the second Miss VIP dishes, this was basically the same as a VIP, right?

Sheng Weixia didn’t see his changing expression, she turned and asked Jiang Mingzhi, “Uncle, is it okay?”

The others didn’t care, but they had to consider Jiang Mingzhi’s job, they couldn’t make mistakes.

Jiang Mingzhi thought for a moment, then nodded, “Since it’s your friend’s intention, then it’s okay.”

Jiang Pengtao nodded immediately, he took out his wallet and went out to pay.

“I remember, the Yu family you mentioned, is there a young man named Yu Shi?” Jiang Mingzhi asked.

Jiang Wei gave a thumbs up, “Uncle, you’re really keeping up with the times, you even know the trendsetters among us young people.”

“It’s not really, I read an article he wrote about foreign trade, and I was impressed.” Jiang Mingzhi praised, “I heard he’s still in university, young people nowadays are amazing!”

“Uncle, that’s Yu Shi!” Jiang Wei said in a trembling voice, “A legendary figure at Beijing University, I heard he’s going to Cambridge for an exchange at the end of the year!”

She suddenly turned her head and asked Gu Qingwei in a low voice, “Sister Qingwei, then you’ll have a chance to see Yu Shi in England, won’t you?”

Gu Qingwei lowered her eyes, she was restrained, there was no trace of emotion in her eyes, “My school is quite far from Cambridge.”

The topic ended there.

Jiang Mingzhi ended today’s family dinner with a few words of encouragement, Sheng Weixia received red envelopes from several elders, even Jiang Xiuhou had prepared a solid gold locket, she had a good harvest.

Everyone crowded around her to go to the parking lot, Gu Qingwei trailed behind the group, her lips, which had been stretched for so long, finally slowly fell.

“Huh? Why are you here?” A voice fell from above her head, at the same time, a hand blocked her way.

The familiar voice made Gu Qingwei pause, she looked up and saw that smiling face that always seemed to be cynical, and those peach blossom eyes that were as curved as if they were carved on his face.

It was Yu Mingda.

Yu Mingda saw Gu Qingwei, he remembered the girl who had made him want to gamble, and thinking of that girl with a sharp tongue, he couldn’t help but think of his taciturn but mischievous nephew, and that face that always looked like it was asking for a punch.

What was it that he was invited to do last time?

Gu Qingwei’s shoulders tilted slightly, she avoided his approaching hand, “Yu… Uncle.”

Yu Mingda was only a few years older than her, this “uncle” sounded very incongruous.

“Why are you calling me so old? Call me by my name, what, did you forget?” Yu Mingda wasn’t embarrassed, he retracted his hand and put it on his chest, he curved his already upturned eye corners, his smile was flamboyant, “How’d you get here?”

“I came with my family.” Gu Qingwei looked ahead, “I have to go, Yu, Yu Mingda.”

Yu Mingda finally remembered what this girl was arranging last time, a party, she was going abroad.

At this time, the manager of Yan Bo Jiang Nan hurried over from behind, when he saw Yu Mingda, he immediately stopped in his tracks and bowed, “You, you’re here?! What do you want to eat today? Oh, wait a moment, I’ll go get you a card!”

The manager rushed to the front of the group, he reached out and stopped Sheng Weixia, he bent down and presented the VIP card to her with both hands.

Sheng Weixia took the card and turned around to give it to her second uncle, Jiang Wenbo—it wasn’t appropriate to give the card to Gu Desheng, and Jiang Mingzhi was working in Beijing, and with his position, it wasn’t appropriate for him to go to such a place where the average per capita consumption was obviously higher than ordinary restaurants, giving it to Jiang Wenbo, who was also in business, was the most appropriate.

Gu Desheng looked a little envious.

If he casually showed this card when he was entertaining guests, it would be a symbol of status.

But his daughter gave it to someone else.

“Your sister is interesting, she knows your dad wants it but she won’t give it to him.”

If Yu Shi were here, he would find that Yu Mingda’s eyes showed a dangerous, interested look.

Gu Qingwei didn’t pretend in front of him, she said coldly, “She’s the biological one, what can I do if she doesn’t give it to him?”

Everyone in front was talking to each other, no one noticed that she wasn’t in the crowd.

“Goodbye.” Gu Qingwei said, she raised her foot and stepped forward.

Yu Mingda reached out and stopped her, “Wait.”

The manager, after handing over the card, quickly bowed and waited in front of Yu Mingda.

Yu Mingda raised his chin, “You decided to give her the card?”

This VIP card was only given after spending a certain amount at Yan Bo Jiang Nan, there were no more than 50 people in the whole of Jinzhong City who had this card, and it definitely didn’t include these people.

“No.” The manager smiled, “It was Third Young Master who said to pay the bill, but they didn’t want to pay the bill, they just wanted a discount, so…”

He was smiling like a flower, but his heart was crying.

Others didn’t know, but he knew a little about the relationships between the different branches of the Yu family, they looked harmonious on the outside, but it was actually very complicated.

For example, this smiling tiger in front of him, he didn’t know how many tricks he had played on the younger generation secretly.

Gu Qingwei looked ahead, a very absurd guess came to her mind:

Under what circumstances would A Jiu use Yu Shulan as a shield for Yu Shi?

Could it be…

She didn’t dare to think about it anymore, she couldn’t help but shift her gaze to Sheng Weixia in the crowd, her figure was tall and straight, her smile was bright.

Those who surrounded her, were her family before, but now they were all looking at her with that smile.

It was her, who had taken away everything that had belonged to her.

The subtle changes in Gu Qingwei’s expression were all captured by Yu Mingda.

The two sisters of the Gu family were interesting.

Add Yu Shi’s words, and it would be twice as interesting.

He narrowed his eyes and asked, “What’s the happy occasion at Boss Gu’s house?”

The manager pondered and answered, “It seems like Miss Gu took the college entrance exam, and also…”

He looked at Gu Qingwei, he hesitated to choose his words.

After all, the fact that the Gu family had their children switched was known in the circle, but it wasn’t appropriate to say it directly in front of the people involved.

“Alright.” Yu Mingda raised his hand, indicating that he understood, “You go about your business, I’m not here to eat.”

The manager hurriedly nodded and bowed, then retreated.

Gu Qingwei bit her lip, “I should be going.”

Just a few steps away, Jiang Pengtao was arranging for everyone to get in the car.

“Hey, wait.” He took out a Parker pen from his chest, he pulled Gu Qingwei’s hand and wrote a line on her palm, “Keep this person’s contact information, you’ll need it in England.”
