Chapter 1657: Rules are Also Subject to People
Fatty said, "I kindly told them that I’d cover the cost of today’s banquet and asked them to pack the food and leave, yet they didn’t give me any face at all. I graciously offered to let her stay and accompany Young Master Cheng for a drink, but she said, ’Who does Young Master Cheng think he is? Not even worthy to carry her shoes, let alone make her drink with him!’"
Mengyu looked at this Fatty and sneered, "What a twisted servant that reverses right and wrong!"
She looked at Young Master Cheng, "We classmates are here having a paid meal, so why should we vacate our seats for you? Is this how the Cheng Family raises their men, to bully others with their power?"
Cheng Jiuyi looked at Mengyu and frowned slightly. Why did he sense a hint of danger emanating from this girl?
Could it be that this girl is also a practitioner?
No, there are no such girls among the Ancient Martial Families.
Cheng Jiuyi thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, you guys can leave, I won’t bother with you."
The arrogant Fatty next to him was very surprised: How could this be? This isn’t Young Master Cheng’s style at all.
Young Master Cheng is easygoing when he’s in the wrong, but once he’s bullied, he becomes hard to deal with, giving face to no one.
Normally, if someone took over a private room he had booked, Young Master Cheng wouldn’t let it slide so easily.
But today, he just let them go like that?
He glanced at Mengyu, thinking he found the reason, and immediately echoed, "Young Master Cheng is letting you off, why aren’t you leaving?"
Qin Xiangshan hurriedly said, "Alright, alright, we’ll go, we’ll leave right away." As he spoke, he signaled to Mengyu, hoping she would seize the opportunity to back down.
Others were a bit scared and secretly looked at Mengyu.
But Mengyu seemed oblivious to his gaze and calmly said, "We’re not full yet, why should we leave? Come on, classmates, let’s continue eating, don’t let anybody spoil our appetite."
Cheng Jiuyi saw Mengyu still refusing despite knowing he was of the Cheng Family, seemingly unafraid, and his expression turned ambiguous.
Fatty glanced at Young Master Cheng. His eyes rolled, and he made a decision on his own, saying, "You can stay, but the others must leave."
"Heh!" Mengyu laughed, "Waiter, call your manager over. I’d like to ask if there’s a rule in your restaurant that says customers eating in a premium private room with a mid-range Jiangjiu menu can be chased out halfway through."
The waiter, Xiao Song, lifted his eyelids and glanced at Mengyu, "The rule is also subject to people."
This means a student like you cannot compare to others.
Mengyu nodded, "Alright, get your manager here. If he dares say your restaurant’s rule is to kick out customers who booked a special private room once someone else shows up, then I’ll leave immediately and my friends and I will never return."
Fatty snorted, "Just a few students, ’never return’."
The waiter, Xiao Song, rolled his eyes and said, "Fine, I’ll get the manager right away." He then ran off.
This is Young Master Cheng, likely the future Cheng Family Patriarch. Even if the general manager comes, they’ll surely support him.
Besides, could a female student possibly know who the general manager is?
Soon, he brought in a serious-looking, potbellied bald man into the private room.
"Who wants to see me? Oh, it’s Young Master Cheng, hello, Young Master Cheng!" The serious-faced man revealed a fawning smile, "What brings you to our humble establishment today?"
Young Master Cheng barely perceptibly furrowed his brow, thinking the waiter Xiao Song had truly brought the manager, only to find out he brought someone impersonating him.
