Aunt Zhang heard her husband’s thought and patted her forehead before saying with realization, “That’s right, Chen should be arriving a bit late. Let’s not even think about opening the door to customers today. I think we should just give Chen a private reception party!”
Uncle Wang nodded and said, agreeing, “Okay, then I’ll go inside and prepare for it. We can’t let Chen’s friends see us here standing shamefully.”
The two were just about to go into the store when a limousine slowly drove over, and they abruptly halted in their steps again.
After all, they had lived for so many years and this was the first time they had seen such a luxurious car.
“Look at that car. It’s so stylish. How rich is the person sitting in the car?”
“The gap between their lives and our low-level life is too large… Oh, that’s not right. Why would the rich come to such a small place that no one knows?” Aunt Zhang said ruefully.
Uncle Wang also gave a long and somewhat envious glance at the slowly approaching limousine and said, “You lady, are so nosy. What’s it got to do with you if others come to a small place like this. It could be the landlord? Isn’t there a building next door, it could even be the big boss inside, it’s none of our business anyway! With this spare time, why don’t we prepare the dishes for the evening!”
Aunt Zhang was admonished. She initially wanted to refute but then she also thought that he had a point. This kind of rich people was definitely not connected part of their world, why would they be their guests? What’s the concern?
She was about to enter the store when she saw that the limousine had stopped and was parked brazenly not far away from them. From the driver’s seat of the limousine came a man in a well-ironed suit.
The man held a piece of paper in his hand and walked to the front of the couple’s barbecue. He looked at the house number and then at the contents of the paper and after a few seconds, he breathed a long breath. “It should be here.”
Aunt Zhang and Uncle Wang were a little confused.
Were they really coming to their place?
The driver Xiao Li smiled and asked the husband and wife politely, “Hello, may I ask you if this is Number 14, East Forest Lane?”
Aunt Zhang and Uncle Wang froze and nodded stiffly. Their expressions were as odd as it could be.
Was their first reaction going to get them into trouble? Otherwise, why would the driver of such rich people ask about their address? Could he be the boss of the person who collected the protection fee before? Beyond that, they really could not think of any other possibilities.
Once the driver, Xiao Xu got his answer, he hurriedly trotted to the limousine, opened the door of the back seat and respectfully said, “Mr. Shen, Miss, it should be here.”
“Alright.”
Shen Mengjia and Shen Haihua stepped down from the car after each other and strode directly to the couple’s barbecue.
Even though she expected the worst, when Shen Mengjia saw the simple and crude shop, the corners of her mouth still twitched slightly.
From young till now, she had never eaten at this type of place. This… was it really edible?
Shen Haihua swept a glance at the humble opening signboard and came up to Aunt Zhang and Uncle Wang. Smiling, he asked, “Hello, I would like to ask, will you be operating as usual today? Can you give me a private room?”
Both husband and wife were thoroughly confused.
They had never expected that such a dignified man would get out of the car. Judging from his temperament, his status was definitely not low!
At the same time, they also noticed Shen Mengjia. They did not expect that there was such a beautiful girl in the world, just like those big celebrities.
Could these people have come here for a meal?
How was that possible?
How could such a small temple like theirs attract such a big Buddha?
Uncle Wang and Aunt Zhang’s minds were blank and for a moment, they did not know what to say at all.
Shen Haihua apparently noticed the two’s confusion and smiled then continued, “You two don’t have to be confused. It was Mr. Ye who asked us to come. He said that you are his friends. This place is trustworthy enough for us to have a meal…”
Mr. Ye?
Friend?
Uncle Wang and Aunt Zhang became more and more confused. They did not know any Mr. Ye. They were the little people at the bottom. How could they know a gentleman?
Suddenly, Uncle Wang thought of something in his mind and asked, astonished, “Could this Mr. Ye be Chen…”
Aunt Zhang gave Uncle Wang a blank look. “Chen, that brat, how could he be Mr. Ye? What are you thinking…”
When Shen Haihua heard the two mention Chen, he was completely certain and quickly said, “Both of you, the Mr. Ye I meant is indeed called Ye Chen…”
His voice was very soft but it exploded in the minds of Aunt Zhang and Uncle Wang!
Was it really Chen?
When did Chen become a Mr. Ye?
Most importantly, were these people in front of them, friends, he invited?
His brain probably short-circuited right? To invite such a rich, prominent person to their little shop for a meal?
Even though there were 10,000 doubts in their hearts, the two of them could not think of anything more and quickly lead Shen Haihua and Shen Mengjia in.
“Come, come… we are a bit messy so don’t be too disappointed… Since you are Chen’s friends, please sit in the innermost private room.”
“Sorry to trouble you.”
“It’s no trouble…”
…
10 minutes later.
The taxi finally arrived at East Forest Lane.
As soon as Sun Yi and Ye Chen got out of the car, they noticed a white Mercedes-Benz behind them.
The white Mercedes-Benz also stopped and they saw Sun Yaoyao and Li Yan stepping out on long legs. When they came down, they looked at Ye Chen and Sun Yi rather proudly.
Sun Yi was practically furious when she saw this scene!
The two obviously followed them, like ghosts that still hang on.
Even following them for a meal? They were really too free.
Sun Yi could not stand it anymore and immediately walked up to Sun Yaoyao and scolded, “Sun Yaoyao, are you tailgating? Aren’t you being too shameless?”
Sun Yaoyao snorted coldly. She tilted her snow-white chin and spared a glance at Sun Yi before saying with arrogance, “Sun Yi, Sun Yi, are you telling me that the entirety of River City belongs to you? Are you the only one allowed in East Forest Lane and not us? Can’t we eat here? Or is it to say that you are doing some shameful and shady business and you’re afraid that I’d find out?”
Regardless of how good her temper was, when she heard ‘shady business’, Sun Yi got a little angry, pointing at Sun Yaoyao and said, “You can follow as much as you like, that’s up to you!”
“Ye Chen, let us go!”
When Sun Yi finished speaking, she pulled Ye Chen and headed inside.
She did not notice at all that Li Yan was on the side, he had slowly stretched out one foot, apparently intending to trip her.
Ye Chen naturally noticed the matter in front of him. He did not have any interest to bother with the girls’ fight but if the other party did such a thing, he would have to step in.
He stepped lightly and there was a faint airwave on the sole of the foot. The airwave pushed directly towards Li Yan.
Li Yan apparently felt something, losing her balance instantly and tumbled backward. She had also subconsciously grabbed Sun Yaoyao’s shoulder.
With both of them wearing heels, their center of balance was tipped.
Thud!
In the next second, the two fell directly to the ground and their skirts were even flipped up! A ray of spring! Attracting finger-pointing from passers-by!
Sun Yi apparently did not expect the situation in front of her and was slightly surprised.
Could these two women not even walk?
Ye Chen, seeing that it was almost time, patted Sun Yi’s back and smiled. “Let’s go, I think Shen Haihua has arrived.”
“Alright.”
After Ye Chen and Sun Yi left only did Sun Yaoyao and Li Yan get up, embarrassed, their bodies already sustained some scrapes!
They glared fiercely at the back of Sun Yi and Ye Chen!
There was not anyone around just now and there were only two people who had the opportunity to take action!
“Those two paupers, how dare they push me! I see they are tired of life! Yaoyao, let’s go look for those two dogs of a man and woman and get our revenge…”
Li Yan’s eyes were full of anger!
