BXBX NOVEL Chapter 402 - 402: Payment
Qiao Xuan raised her eyebrows. “Sorry, Lady Yuezheng, but I booked the elegant room first, and I don’t want to give it away to you. What is the problem?”
She gave Yanchi Restaurant a thumb-up for not sucking up to the rich. No wonder the restaurant was so popular.
Yuezheng Ting sneered. “Good, good, then tell me your name, so I will tell my Third Cousin about it. From today onwards, you will never have the chance to speak with him or get anything beneficial from our family!”
The Yuezheng Family were very famous in the province, and Yuezheng Ting assumed that Qiao Xuan was trying to suck up to the Yuezheng Family. A small portion of money from them would feed this poor family well for the rest of their lives.
Startled, Taotao was so confused, not knowing how to react.
What was wrong with this lady from the Yuezheng Family? How could she be so strange?
Young Master Yuezheng was in a business relationship with her brother and sister-in-law, and Young Master Yuezheng kept telling them that he was so lucky to meet them. Since when did her brother and sister-in-law try to suck up to the Yuezheng Family?
Where did Lady Yuezheng hear about this rumor?
Taotao did not like to be misjudged. She could not help but speak up. “Sorry Lady Yuezheng, but you have misunderstood us! We have never taken anything good from your family, and my brother and sister-in-law’s relationship with Young Master Yuezheng is totally fair and straight!”
“How dare you say fair and straight!” Yuezheng Ting sneered. “You want to tell me your names?”
Qiao Xuan pinched Taotao’s wrist, and looked at Yuezheng Ting. “I don’t think that is necessary. How about asking your Third Cousin yourself, if you want to know our names?”
“You!”
Yuezheng Ting got so annoyed that she said, “Okay, okay, you are very bold. Let’s wait and see what you have to pay for your rudeness!”
Yuezheng Ting glared at Qiao Xuan and left in a fury.
Taotao got a little anxious, asking. “Fifth Sister-in-law, is this okay? Lady
Yuezheng is Young Master Yuezheng’s cousin… after all.”
Qiao Xuan was amused. “Don’t worry, think about our own cousins. If they irritate our friends, and get driven away by our friends, will you be mad at our friends?”
“Of course not!”
Shao Taotao burst out and felt a little embarrassed.
Qiao Xuan smiled. “Not so worried anymore?”
Shao Taotao nodded and said involuntarily, “Why are cousins always so annoying?”
Qiao Xuan laughed. “That’s a good question!”
Soon the waiters came in and the two of them started to order.
Qiao Xuan ordered classic southern dishes such as squirrel mandarin fish, stewed meat balls, braised eels, crystal meat, braised pork in Baihua wine, Pingqiao tofu, and boiled dried shredded rice. She hadn’t tasted authentic Jiangnan cuisine since she came here, and wondered if Yanchi Restaurant would be a disappointment or not.
The food would cost over 30 liang, but that was worth the while if the taste was authentic.
Shao Yunduan and Shao Xiaoqi arrived after the two girls had waited for a while.
Qiao Xuan smiled brightly at Shao Yunduan. “I heard that the restaurant serves authentic southern dishes, let’s just have a try!”
Shao Yunduan smiled gently. “There are many restaurants in the province that are worth trying out. We will visit them one by one..”
