Chapter 217 Brother Buckteeth
Cuizhuxuan Restaurant located in Xuefu Road, was one of the most high-end restaurants around the university town. Zhang Haifeng, who determined to invite them to have a dinner together with the red packet he received, insisted on choosing this restaurant. Ding Ning, who failed to talk him out of doing that, could only promise.
“Welcome to our restaurant. How many are you? Have you made a reservation?”
In front of the magnificent gate, four waitresses dressed in high-slit flowing gowns with looming snow-white thighs, all bent at the waist, which startled Zhang Haifeng and others.
The lobby manager, who wore a white shirt, a business overskirt with a pretty face, coquettish temperament and a professional smile, came over and asked them enthusiastically.
“Four people with no reservation. Are there an available box?”
Zhang Haifeng held his head high and walked inside, looking like a regular customer here.
“Sorry, sir, all of our boxes have been taken. Now you can only get a table in the hall, is it okay?”
The lobby manager was very professional. Even if Ding Ning and others wore very general clothes, she still said with a smile.
“No box? Should we go to another restaurant?” Zhang Haifeng slowed down his footsteps and looked at Ding Ning, looking like consulting him.
“It’s just a meal, and we can eat in the hall. Don’t bother.”
Ding Ning waved his hand nonchalantly. He did not care about ostentation, otherwise with his wealth, he would not always wander in cheap clothes.
“Please come with me.”
The lobby manager led them to a booth for four people, told the waiter to bring the menu and take their order, and then left politely.
The hall was very elegantly decorated. The floor was wooden with original grain. Even the tables and benches were made of wood. Besides, the wallpapers were painted with green bamboos. It made people feel like staying in a bamboo forest.
It was no wonder that it was one of the most upscale restaurants in the university town. With this unique decoration style, its level rose sharply.
Zhang Haifeng took the menu and handed it to Ling Yun without reading it. He said with a generous smile, “Sister-in-law, just order whatever you want. Wu Xian and I treat our eldest brother to a dinner on arriving with the red pocket you gave us.”
“Okay, I’ll order now.”
Ling Yun opened the menu with a smile, and then the smile on her face suddenly became stiff.
“What’s wrong?” Seeing her strange expression, Ding Ning hurriedly approached her and took a look.
What the h*ll, a plate of stir-fried shredded potato was sold for 38 yuan. A plate of shredded pork with green pepper was sold for 58 yuan. A plate of crisp fried spareribs was sold for 208 yuan. A plate of deep-fried mutton chop was sold for 580 yuan… Was it a gangster restaurant?
“Why are the dishes so expensive?” Ling Yun whispered with a distressed face.
Ding Ning said calmly, “Never mind, just order a few dishes. In such a restaurant, we just pay a high price for its high-end environment.”
Wu Xian bowed his head and played mobile games. This nerdy guy had always been silent and not good at dealing with people. Zhang Haifeng was the one who made every decision.
Seeing their strange expressions, Zhang Haifeng hurriedly asked for another menu. As soon as he opened the menu and saw the prices, his face also changed. He straightforward cursed, “What the h*ll, why are the dishes so expensive? Is it a gangster restaurant?”
The smile on the waiter’s face suddenly froze. With a trace of barely detectable contempt, he became cold and ridiculed Zhang Haifeng.
“Please respect yourself. Our Cuizhuxuan is one of the best restaurants around this area and the prices of our dishes have never been changed. You are the first one who says our restaurant is a gangster restaurant.”
“I…”
With his face alternately turning ashen and red, Zhang Haifeng wanted to argue with the waiter, but couldn’t think of anything to say.
“You are such a bunch of poor people. Cuizhuxuan is not the place where you can come. The expense of a meal here is enough to pay for your living expenses for a few months. You will be struck by lightning by coming here and pretending to be rich.”
As an ironic voice came, Zhang Haifeng looked up. He suddenly became stiffened all over, clenched his fists, fixedly stared at the comer with angry flames in his eyes, and bit his lips without saying anything.
Turning to have a look, Ding Ning only saw Gu Qianyun, whose face was black and blue, swaggeringly come to them with a girl, whose expression was slightly unnatural, in his arms, followed by a group of punks with tattoos.
The girl was probably Zhang Haifeng’s ex-girlfriend Sun Aijia. She looked not bad with a curvaceous shape. It was no wonder that Zhang Haifeng was so angry.
“Does whether we can afford it have anything to do with you? Do you want to be beaten again? Get out!”
Ling Yun had already been annoyed by the waiter’s ironic tone. If it had not been that she wanted to maintain her good impression on Ding Ning’s roommates, she, who was fierce, would have slapped her.
She had suppressed her anger. But at this moment, seeing Gu Qianyun again here, she was even more annoyed. So she immediately raised her eyebrows and huffed.
“Hey! This girl is fierce. Childe Gu was beaten by this girl?”
Before Gu Qianyun talked, a stocky guy walked out from behind him. The guy was shirtless with a gold necklace, thewy muscles, buckteeth and a tattoo of down hill tiger on his chest, staring at Ling Yun with his lascivious eyes.
“Brother Buckteeth, it’s them, especially this girl. She is excellent in fighting, and several subordinates of mine were beaten by her.”
Gu Qianyun said with a flattering smile, while ferociously grabbing Sun Aijia’s chest in a provocative way. She was tearful in pain, but lowered her head and didn’t dare to look into Zhang Haifeng’s murderous eyes.
“You are so bold that you even dared to beat childe Gu. Do you know that childe Gu is my friend? Beating him is equal to beating me. You didn’t show me some respect?”
Brother Buckteeth walked up brazenly, greedily squinting at Ling Yun with a pair of mouse eyes.
“Pa! Who do you think you are to make me show you some respect?”
Ding Ning looked calm with cold sparkle in his eyes. Ling Yun was disgusted by the guy’s gaze. Unable to bear it any more, she struck the table and stood up. She looked a few centimeters higher than Brother Buckteeth.
Condescendingly looking at Brother Buckteeth, who was short and ugly, she contemptuously said, “You are so short with ugly buckteeth. I really doubt what made your parents courageous to give birth to you.”
“B*tch, you are seeking death. Go ahead. When you kneel under my crotch and sing the song Conquer, you will find out whether I’m short.”
Brother Buckteeth was short and ugly. His nickname Brother Buckteeth had spread in the underworld, and he couldn’t do anything about that. The only thing he avoided as taboo was his height of less than 1.6 meters.
He became furious on hearing her words, but did not lose his mind. He knew that Ling Yun was capable of fighting, so he asked his followers to fight with her first.
“Girl, how dare you insult Brother Buckteeth? Just wait for being knocked down and singing the song Conquer.”
“This girl is so pretty, and she’s Brother Buckteeth’s cup of tea.”
“The chest, the butt, the skin, tsk tsk. Buddies, be careful and don’t hurt her, otherwise Brother Buckteeth will feel distressed.”
…
A group of punks with tattoos and flushed faces due to drunkenness, rushed at Ling Yun while talking dirty words.
“Please do me a favor. It is Cuizhuxuan here. If there is any contradiction between you, please handle it outside and don’t make trouble in the restaurant.”
At this moment, the lobby manager walked over, stopped in front of Ling Yun and said without humbling herself and showing disrespect.
“Get out of the way. I don’t care it’s Cuizhuxuan or other places. Now that the girl dared to provoke our Brother Buckteeth, we won’t leave no matter what kind of place it is.”
A long-haired punk, who was eager to show his loyalty to Brother Buckteeth, pushed the lobby manager without mercy and cursed in anger.
The lobby manager screamed, staggered and almost fell to the ground. Ling Yun hurriedly reached out to support her. “Are you alright?”
“I’m fine, thank you!” The lobby manager thanked her kindly.
“Pa”. With a resounding slap, the long-hair punk stared at Brother Buckteeth, whose face was ashen, and said with grievance, “Boss, did you slap the wrong person?”
“What the f*ck are you talking about? Shut up!”
Brother Buckteeth cursed in anger, turned around with a smile, and apologized to the lobby manager by bowing unctuously and saying, “I’m sorry, sister Hong. I’ve been a little impulsive due to drunkenness, and forgotten it’s your restaurant. We’ll go immediately. Please explain to master Fei that I didn’t offend you intentionally. I’ll call on you to apologize in person. Please don’t blame me!”
As Gu Qianyun looked at Brother Buckteeth’s servile face, his face suddenly changed. He secretly wondered how powerful the background of the restaurant owner was, since Brother Buckteeth was scared like this.
The lobby manager, referred to as sister Hong, said with a poker face, “As long as you don’t make trouble in Cuizhuxuan, you can do anything you want. Besides, these are the guests of our Cuizhuxuan. I don’t want to see anything happen to them.”
With his face alternately turning ashen and red, Brother Buckteeth finally said, “Sister Hong, I will not make trouble in Cuizhuxuan and will definitely obey the rules set by master Fei. But in terms of what happens after we get out of here, master Fei might not care about such a trivial matter, right?”
Sister Hong said with a blank expression, “Buckteeth, are you not going to do me a favor?”
“They are your friends?”
He slightly squinted, seemingly inspecting something. He was afraid of the owner of Cuizhuxuan, but he not afraid of sister Hong. After all, she was only a lobby manager, and he did not believe that the owner of Cuizhuxuan would help her.
Sister Hong hesitated and sighed secretly. After all, she was just a wage earner, and couldn’t help Ling Yun and her friends even if she wanted to. She looked at Ling Yun with regret and shook her head. “No, but they are our guests.”
“I show you some respect, but it seems that you are not going to show me some respect. I will follow the rules here, but after we get out of here, I hope that sister Hong can ignore what will happen outside. Let’s go.”
Looking at Ling Yun sinisterly, he waved his hand, turned around and was about to leave with his followers.
“Did I allow you to leave?”
When Zhang Haifeng and Wu Xian felt relieved, Ding Ning tasted tea and said slowly.
Brother Buckteeth stopped, turned around to stare at Ding Ning. With an ironic smile, he said, “What’s up? You want to suppress us with the power of Cuizhuxuan?”
Gu Qianyun, who felt lost before, showed a sneer and secretly felt happy. They were really reckless. He intended to let them go, but they sought death. Now the owner of Cuizhuxuan couldn’t blame them for knocking down these people here.
Sister Hong looked at Ding Ning with cold eyes and didn’t know what he was going to do. She kindly advised him, “Gentleman, it is Cuizhuxuan here. Please don’t make trouble here.”
Ding Ning slowly put down the teacup and said to sister Hong with a smile, “Sister Hong, right? Thank you for your advice, but I don’t like making trouble and will never do that. We just come here for dinner, but these guys provoke us for no reason. They shouldn’t leave without an apology.”
Sister Hong secretly cursed, “Since you seek death, you can’t blame me for not helping you.” She said coldly, “If you think that you are capable of making them apologize to you, I won’t stop you. But don’t blame me for not reminding you if you don’t have such a big head, don’t wear such a big hat, lest you get wet.”
Ding Ning smiled slightly, did not answer her and turned around to look at Ling Yun. “Yun, I think Fuxing Road is a bit small, how about making you the head of Xuefu Road?”
With Ding Ning around her, Ling Yun had always been fearless. On hearing his words, she said cheerfully, “Great, I also think that Fuxing Road is a little small. It is time to expand my territory.”
“Hahaha!”
Brother Buckteeth was stunned. Gu Qianyun showed a strange expression. A group of punks was struck dumb, and then burst into laughter and even tears. They had never been so amused by so funny people.
