Chapter 149: Who Could Withstand a Mushy Monster?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Tang Yitong did not care if it was mushy or not. As long as it was effective on Su Yan, she could be even more mushy. Seeing that Tang Yitong was shamelessly persistent, Su Yan sighed and could only agree to her request. Otherwise, who would be able to withstand this mushy monster?
"Alright, alright, stop shaking me. I'm about to fall apart because of you. I'll let you use the yacht, alright?" Su Yan withdrew her arm.
Knowing that Su Yan had agreed, Tang Yitong jumped up in joy. That excited look of hers was no different from a happy child. Su Yan felt that it was necessary to talk to Shen Ling. They might need to change Tang Yitong's character. Her behavior didn't match her cold and aloof character at all. Perhaps one day, she would accidentally break her character and cause an impact on her image.
$u Yan glared at Tang Yitong and asked, 'If I remember correctly, on the day Chai Xingyu proposed, he seemed to have already given you the keys to the new house and the relevant documents, right? Then why do you still want to buy a house?*
Tang Yitong said honestly, "He gave it to me, so I also want to buy a house for him."
Hearing this, Su Yan felt that her teeth were sore. If she knew she would see Tang Yitong's public display of affection, she would not have asked this question.
suddenly, Su Yan's phone rang. Tang Yitong peeked at the side and realized that there was no caller ID. It only showed the phone number. It should be an unfamiliar number.
Looking at the phone call, Su Yan frowned slightly. Her memory had always been exceptionally good. If it was a familiar phone call, she would be able to remember who it was even if she did not memorize the pone number. However, she really did not have any impression of this number. For a number that she did not recognize, she usually only had one choice. Her finger gently swiped on the screen and hung up mercilessly.
"Oh right, I heard from Xingyu that Feng Hao took you to his godmother's house for dinner on New Year's Day. So, how far have the two of you progressed?" Tang Yitong gossiped.
"How far?" Su Yan smiled.
At this moment, Su Yan's phone rang again. She choked back what she wanted to say. She took the phone and saw that it was still the same unfamiliar number. She felt that the person who had dialed the wrong number was really persistent.
$u Yan had no choice but to pick up the call. If she did not tell them that they had dialed the wrong number, they would probably keep calling. That would be a form of harassment to her.
"Hey, you call..." before Su Yan could finish her sentence, a familiar voice came from the other end. "Zhao Lili? Why do you call me?"
They had just met a few days ago, so Su Yan could naturally recognize Zhao Lili's voice. She frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
Zhao Lili's voice came through. "I want to have a meal with you. I have a lot of questions about that Rotating Heart Vase. Do you have time?"
Su Yan raised her eyebrows. Although she did not have much contact with Zhao Lili, she was certain of her relationship with Wei Shani. The two of them grew up in a wealthy environment and had the same problem. After all, there was a reason why they could become best friends.
Previously, when Su Yan asked Wang Xiaoxue to send the compensation money, Wang Xiaoxue was chased out of Mount Li Manor by Zhao Lil's rude attitude. She did not expect that she would take the initiative to call her to have a meal with her. Moreover, her tone was very gentle, it was completely different from the overbearing and arrogant manner from before. Su Yan felt that there must be something wrong. A person's character would not change so easily, so there must be something else going on.
$u Yan curled the corners of her lips. "Alright. Since you insist, how can I refuse?"
It was still the same saying, 'Since you want to play, then I will play with you'. She had nothing to do anyway, so she could deal with Zhao Lili and have some fun. It would be a way to pass the time and educate the child at the same time.
Hearing her agree, Zhao Lili said impatiently, "Then it's a deal. Let's meet at 12 o'clock in the afternoon in room 999 of the Golden Bay Private Kitchen."
Su Yan replied with a simple 'okay' and then hung up the phone. Tang Yitong asked suspiciously, "Is it that lady from the Zhao family again?"
Su Yan nodded, "That's right, it's her. She's one of Wei Shani's best friends. Your ears are pretty good."
Tang Yitong snorted. "She probably has no good reason to look for you. Do you still remember the past? How did that Zhao Lili humiliate and belittle you?"
$u Yan also snorted coldly. She would never forget all of this without Tang Yitong's reminder. It was still the day of Old Master Zhao's birthday banquet. Zhao Lili and Wei Shani did not just humiliate her. The two of them had decided to prank her, one wiped the cake on her dress, while the other placed the cherry on her chair. Because Su Yan was wearing a white dress that day, when she crushed the berry, it made her looked like she was on her period.
Chapter 150: Be Humble, Don't Get Cocky!

'What was even more outrageous was that when Su Yan was at a loss, one of them insulted her while the other took photos and posted those photos on the internet. She then became the laughingstock of the entire upper circle back then, and she also became the topic of gossip among the young ladies.
When Tang Yitong saw those photos back then, she became so angry that her lungs were about to explode. She was about to bring the people from the Dragon Emperor Entertainment's legal department to find trouble with Zhao Lili and Wei Shani, but she was stopped by Su Yan.
Although it had been three years since the incident, every time Tang Yitong thought about it, she would curse at those two evil women. When she heard Zhao Lili's name, she would fly into rage.
$u Yan smiled and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, there is definitely something wrong. How could she have any good intention? She must be plotting something against me."
'Tang Yitong nodded. "I think you're right. Girls like Zhao Lili are typical girls with princess syndrome. They think that the Zhao family is rich and powerful, so they are always arrogant and domineering. I'm looking forward to the day when they find out that you are the boss of Dazzle Culture Investment Company. I wonder how they will react?"
su Yan smiled. Be humble, don't get cocky!"
Tang Yitong whimpered, "Aren't you cocky as well? You bought such an expensive yacht without thinking twice. I want to be as 'humble' as you are."
After the two of them discussed some other company matters, Su Yan left with her bag. Before she left, Tang Yitong slapped her on her buttocks. Su Yan was so angry that she rolled her eyes several times.
Golden Bay Private Kitchen.
This place was located in the center of the Jiang Du Development Zone. The restaurant was not big, but the decoration was luxurious. There was no hall here and there were only ten private rooms. One had to make an appointment in advance to eat here. Otherwise, they would not be served. Moreover, there was no need to order food here. The restaurant would cook whatever ingredients they had on that day. Every dish was very exquisite, but the size was not big. However, the taste was approved by many people. The only thing was that the price was relatively high, it was a place where the elites of Su Yu City spent their money.
The most special thing was that this restaurant only received ten tables of customers every day. According to the order of the reservations, they would be allocated to the corresponding private rooms for meals. Moreover, they had to pay a deposit first. Some people had waited for a year to eat in this tiny restaurant. It could be seen how prosperous the business was. As for why Zhao Lili was able to book a private room, it was probably because of Zhao Yuanshan's connections. From this, it could be seen that the Zhao family had quite a reputation in Jiang Du.
Today, Su Yan was dressed very lightly. She dressed in a youthful school style. On her shoulder, she carried the high-end custom-made bags that was from J Brand. It was given by Tang Yitong. As the most expensive luxury handbag brand in the world, the J Brand only produced and sold ten bags every year, and each bag was made purely by hand. Moreover, the J Brand only accepted private custom-made bags, so each bag was unique. As for the bags with the J Brand bags in the major shopping malls, they were all fake without exception.
$u Yan liked this bag very much. She had to admit that Tang Yitong was really good to her, and she knew her best friend well enough. Tang Yitong knew that Su Yan liked to keep a low profile, so when she customized it, she asked the designer to hide the J Brand's logo. The logo was hidden inside the bag.
The entire bag was black in color. The surface of the paint was reflective, and there were decorative diamonds inlaid on the edges. The metal parts were all gold, and they felt very thick and heavy. Coupled with a golden chain, it looked no different from the dozens of pieces on the street.
Most importantly, there was no logo on the outside, so it was easy for people to mistake it for a fake at a glance.
At the entrance of Golden Bay, the doorman greeted the guests with a neat suit. He had met at least 80 people every day, and he had trained his eyes well. With just a glance, he could tell the identity of the guests.
Glancing at the bag on Su Yan's shoulder, the doorman smiled and stepped forward to block the door. "I'm sorry, miss. We need to make a reservation in advance before we can go in for dinner. Do you have a reservation?"
$u Yan raised her eyebrows and said, "Room 999, Zhao Lili."
The doorman was stunned. Of course, he knew Zhao Lili. She had just entered not long ago. He did not expect Su Yan to be a guest of Zhao Lili's banquet, he immediately moved to the side and said, "I apologized, I didn't expect that you are an honored guest of Miss Zhao. Please forgive me. Miss Zhao is already in the private room. You can go in now."
Seeing that the doorman' attitude had changed so much, the corners of Su Yan's lips curled up. This was a typical example of arrogant people looking down on others. However, she could not be bothered to lower herself to the level of a doorman. She just did not know that the doorman did this because of Zhao Lili's instructions or was the doorman always like this.
Chapter 151: Revenge On the Spot
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"This is my first time here. You'd better lead the way. Su Yan said.
Her evaluation of herself was very accurate. She never thought of herself as a good person. She was the type of person who would take revenge on the spot. No matter what the doorman had done to her, she had to retaliate. Originally, she could go in and slowly find a private room, but now she had to torture the doorman.
Hearing her words, the doorman had no choice but to smile and say, 'Okay, this way please."
$u Yan nodded and elegantly followed behind. Moreover, she deliberately slowed down her pace. Golden Bay received so many guests every day, so as the doorman here, his vision was naturally not bad. He couldn't stop the people from entering the restaurant just by their dressing.
Most importantly, the doorman recognized Zhao Lil's name, which could explain a lot of problems. Su Yan smiled and wrote down a mental note to remember Zhao Lili' little trick. It was really interesting that she dared to do this to her.
At the door of room 999, the doorman smiled and gestured to Su Yan, "Miss, this is the place. If there are no other instructions, I'll go back to work. If you need anything, you can call the waiter here at any time. I wish you a happy meal!"
Glancing at the doorman, Su Yan asked, "How much salary can you get a month as a doorman here?*
The doorman looked at Su Yan in surprise. He didn't know why she asked this question, but he still answered honestly, "Including basic salary, performance reward, and full attendance award, it's about 7,000 yuan a month. Is there a problem?"
$u Yan nodded and continued to ask, "Tell me the truth. How much did Zhao Lili pay you?"
As soon as Su Yan said this, the doorman' face turned pale. He avoided Su Yan's eyes. He knew very well that Su Yan had seen through everything since she asked this question. If this matter was exposed to the manager, he could lose this high-paid job.
'J, this..." the doorman stammered for a long time, but he still could not say a complete sentence.
Seeing his behavior, Su Yan chuckled and said, "Alright, don't do this kind silly thing anymore. Don't lose your job because of a little money. It's not easy to find a job in Jiang Du."
Then, she retracted her gaze, pushed open the door and walked in, leaving the doorman standing where he was. His was still extremely nervous and scared.
Su Yan was right. If he lost his job because of this, it would be a total loss to him. Although he was just a doorman, he was a doorman of a Golden Bay Private Kitchen with a high salary of 7,000 to 8,000 yuan a month. It made his position very competitive, and there were many people who wanted to replace him.
After seeing Su Yan enter the private room, the doorman wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He touched the wad of cash in his pocket and then turned to leave. Before Su Yan came, Zhao Lili had told him to make things difficult for Su Yan. She wanted to let Su Yan know the strength of the Zhao family's young miss, so she gave the doorman 10,000 yuan, which was more than his monthly salary. Naturally, he would be tempted.
In the private room, the entrance was a crystal fish tank. There were two golden dragon fish swimming in it. After passing the fish tank, there was a big round table. Zhao Lili was sitting in the main seat, and there was a person sitting next to her, it was Wei Zhou's "good sister', her former 'sister-in-law', Wei Shani.
Seeing that Wei Shani was also there, Su Yan teased, "Oh, it seems that you two are really good friends. You're not even afraid of outsiders knowing the household matters of Zhao family."
In order to scheme against Su Yan, Zhao Lili did not hesitate to break Zhao Yuanshan'ss heart as the price. Strictly speaking, this was called unfilial, and it was a disgrace of the Zhao family. The Zhao family also lost its reputation by spending ten million to buy a fake Hollow Rotating Heart Vase. It was also a disgrace of the Zhao family. If it were a normal person, they would not wash their dirty linen in the public for the sake of their families' reputation.
Hearing this, Zhao Lili's expression did not change. "Shani is not an outsider to you and me, right? Since you're here, just take your seat."
$u Yan did not say anything else. She pulled out the chair closest to the door and sat down. Before she could put down her backpack, Wei Shani had already placed the menu in front of her. Su Yan raised her eyebrows. She did not expect Wei Shani to be so proactive today, it seemed that the detention had indeed affect her.
Zhao Lili said, "I don't know if you've been here before. If you want to eat here, you have to make a reservation at least a year in advance. Fortunately, I know the boss here, so he temporarily added a table for us. If you've never been to such a high-end place, you need to have a good taste. Although the food here is very expensive, you can order whatever you want to eat. I'll be the host today!"
Chapter 152: Being Treated as a Pauper
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Su Yan could not help but laugh. Zhao Lili's words really meant that she was treating her as a pauper. Her bossy and arrogant manner was exactly the same as the previous Wei Shani, No wonder they became best friends, because they had the same stench.
"Why are you laughing?" Zhao Lili raised her eyebrows and looked at Su Yan with a questioning look.
"I's nothing, Since Miss Zhao is so kind, I won't stand on ceremony," Su Yan said with a smile.
After that, she took the menu and started flipping through it. A waitress stood by the side with an ordering device and looked at Su Yan respectfully. As long as Su Yan gave the order, the waitress would immediately respond.
Su Yan flipped through a few pages, she pinched her chin and nodded. "Yes, Miss Zhao is right. This is indeed my first time here. Their dishes look incredibly good, and their reputation is also very good. If I order a few more dishes, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Hearing her words, Zhao Lili crossed her arms and said proudly, "No problem, order whatever you want. Since I asked you to come here, I can totally afford all your expense."
As she said that, she looked at Wei Shani who was beside her and said, "Shani and I often come here to eat. We have eaten all their dishes, so you can order whatever you want. You don't have to worry about the two of us at all. If we can come here anytime whenever we want, but you can't."
Su Yan smiled and nodded. "Sure, with Miss Zhao's words, I have nothing to worry about."
Hearing Su Yan's words, Wei Shani also said, "Su Yan, order whatever you like. Their food is very delicious. Even if you order too much, you can still take it back, so you must not be polite."
As she listened to Wei Shani's words, Su Yan flipped through the menu. Her big eyes kept moving back and forth on the menu, but she did not open her mouth to order.
Seeing Su Yan still had not ordered any dish, Zhao Lili pretended to be considerate and said, "Miss Su, if you don't understand or don't know which dish to order, why don't you ask the waitress to introduce and recommend some dishes to you? After all, this is your first time here, so you don't know much about the dishes."
After that, she and Wei Shani looked at each other again. Their eyes were full of excitement, and they totally regarded Su Yan as a country bumpkin.
Su Yan's expression didn't change. She said, "There's no need to go through so much trouble. Each dish has a very detailed description on it. Although I don't have a high education, I can still understand it."
Zhao Lili and Wei Shani were neither angry nor annoyed by her words. They just sat there quietly and watched her order the dishes.
After flipping through a few more pages, Su Yan finally said to the waitress, "I want a portion of Ginseng Sashimi, Secret-made Shark's Fin, Sea-pearl Sweet and Sour Chicken Pot, Fried Truffle Duck Tongue, and an Old-fashioned Snow Coat and Bean Paste. Lastly, I want a portion of mushroom soup."
$u Yan didn't ask for too much, and she didn't hurt Zhao Lili's wallet too much. She ordered five dishes and a soup in one go. The process of making the dishes she ordered were very complicated, and the price was relatively expensive.
Zhao Lili and Wei Shani looked at Su Yan with disdain when they heard her order.
'The waitress was very familiar with the dishes. After Su Yan finished speaking, she finished typing ordering device and asked politely, "Do you want anything else?"
Su Yan thought for a moment and opened the last page of the menu. She pointed at one of the desserts and said, "Give me three more of this. We'll be much happier to have a dessert after dinner."
'The waitress nodded and quickly pressed the order button. Then, Su Yan turned the menu to Zhao Lili and Wei Shani. "I'm done. If there's nothing that you like or want to add, you can order it."
Wei Shani didn't stand on ceremony. She picked up the menu and flipped through a few pages. "I want a Charcoal Roasted Foie Gras and Jasmine Flying Fish."
Zhao Lili, who was beside her, also said, "Td also like a Red Wine Stewed Rabbit Meat, as well as one of your signature dishes, the War of Cuttlefish. That's all I want. Thank you!"
Seeing that they had ordered so many dishes in one go, the waitress could not help but say, "Ladies, our restaurant advocates saving the environment and eliminating extravagance and waste. The three of you have ordered nine dishes and three desserts. Are you sure you can finish them all?"
Zhao Lili smiled and said, "It's okay. Just place the order. It's not like we don't pay. This is my friend's first time coming to your restaurant to eat. It's really not easy, so we have to let her try more dishes. When she can't finish them, let her pack them up for dinner."
