CHAPTER 167: CHAPTER 167: TREATING TO A MEAL

"It’s not really a big deal, but do you know, with just one word from me, you won’t see your elder brother today." Zheng Shaochen retorted, feeling rather pleased.

Mrs. Jiang panicked, "Young Master, my daughter doesn’t know how to speak properly, please don’t take offense!"

It’s no wonder Mrs. Jiang was so timid; after all, she and her husband spent a lot of effort and money to send their son into Qinglin Restaurant.

Especially after knowing that Zheng Shaochen was the Young Master of Qinglin Restaurant, this young man who looked about the same age as their second son suddenly appeared noble in Mrs. Jiang’s eyes.

However, the smile on Gu Nian’s face quickly disappeared, and when she glanced at Zheng Shaochen again, she lost the innocence she had just shown, her cold expression somewhat resembled Nan Jin Yu!

"Oh, is the little girl upset now?" Zheng Shaochen thought he had won, grinning broadly.

His smug expression made him seem like a playboy who successfully won over good family girls.

But this sense of triumph didn’t last long.

Seeing Gu Nian’s increasingly grave expression, Zheng Shaochen thought of his cousin and felt a little uneasy, "Hey, little girl, I’m just joking with you, you can’t be that petty, right?"

In Mrs. Jiang’s mind, their family was vastly different from Zheng Shaochen’s; when facing powerful people, the weak tend to ingratiate themselves instinctively.

Besides, Zheng Shaochen had already offered a way out, and Mrs. Jiang quickly squeezed Gu Nian’s palm, signaling her to respond.

"I’m not upset." Although she said this, it was obvious from her gritted teeth when she said it.

Gu Nian stiffly pulled her lips and looked up at Zheng Shaochen, "Are you inviting me to dinner, brother?"

"Invite, if you’re not upset, then I will invite you, okay?" Zheng Shaochen originally wanted to pat Gu Nian’s head but she disdainfully dodged away.

He wasn’t angry, and was even a bit scared, afraid she would go back and complain to his cousin.

His mother had sternly told him not to make his cousin angry, otherwise, his monthly allowance would be gone.

"Then let’s go." Gu Nian’s smile became more sincere, but the malice in her eyes grew stronger.

Qinglin Restaurant is considered the largest restaurant in Qingshan Town, and as soon as you enter, a luxurious yet elegant atmosphere greets you.

Zheng Shaochen waved his hand, and a waiter came over, "Oh, Young Master is here, a private room is ready for you, upstairs please!"

Without saying a word, Zheng Shaochen looked extremely satisfied.

Gu Nian rolled her eyes at his pretentious display.

Nan Jin Yu’s cousin, although young, certainly had bad habits.

Zheng Shaochen moved forward with people flattering him, then remembered the Gu Nian mother-daughter duo left behind, turned back and said, "What are you standing there for? Come on, upstairs!"

Mrs. Jiang held Gu Nian, "Or, we shouldn’t go after all?"

Gu Nian wasn’t about to let Zheng Shaochen, the fat sheep running to the slaughter, escape so easily, and gritted her teeth, "We should go, this brother graciously invited us for dinner, we’re already inside, it’d be rude not to eat."

"Exactly, this Young Master likes to hear that, today I’m treating, just eat until you’re full!" Zheng Shaochen said grinning.

Upstairs, Zheng Shaochen and Gu Nian seemed quite comfortable, but Mrs. Jiang was suffering.
