Gu Man picked up a dish that looked like eggplant but it was not eggplant. She thought to herself: This salad alone is worth 8,000 yuan?
Bai Yun explained the dish, “This dried eggplant dish is very particular. The newly grown tender May eggplant is plucked, and the skin and seeds are removed. Only the flesh is kept, it is cut into thin threads and dehydrated, before it is placed on the steamer. Chicken broth is placed in the bottom of the steamer and used to steam it. The taste of the chicken broth is infused into the shreds of the eggplants and then it is dehydrated again. It will be steamed and dehydrated like this nine times before it is mixed with the marinated crystal chicken feet.
Gu Man thought to herself: Alright, it was indeed worth it for so much effort.
Gu Man had a habit of “not paying attention to the outside world” no matter what she did, even when she was eating.
Now, she was eating the food in her bowl with her head lowered, completely immersed in the deliciousness of the food. Her pink lips opened and closed, her mouth bulged slightly, and her eyes narrowed as she enjoyed it.
Bai Ling, on the other hand, couldn’t eat anymore. She stared blankly at her second uncle putting food into Gu Man’s bowl again and again with a doting expression on his face. Her second uncle knew how to take food for other people?
It was only when Bai Yun kicked her that she reacted and quickly sucked a bit of the sparkling caviar to calm herself down.
Gu Man was finally satisfied. She looked up and saw Bai Ling, Bai Yun, and Cui Lin’s strange gazes. She quickly dabbed her lips with a napkin. Was there something on her face?
“Sister Gu Man, this meal suits your taste, right?” Bai Yun interrupted the strange atmosphere. He did not expect Xiang Yin to treat someone with such special care. He was taking food for her throughout the meal.
“It’s pretty good!” Gu Man replied seriously.
“Second Master, are you eating well?” Cui Lin asked strangely. He knew that Xiang Yin did not eat much during the meal, because he was helping Gu Man take food.
“Very good!” Xiang Yin replied calmly.
Bai Ling reacted. No wonder Second Uncle asked the waiter to go out. He wanted to please her!
Seeing that everyone was almost done eating, Gu Man sneaked out to settle the bill while everyone was drinking tea and chatting.
When the cashier at the front desk heard that Gu Man was from the “Nine Dragon Gate”, she asked Gu Man to wait for a moment and quickly called for the microphone on her. “Manager, please come to the front desk.”
After a while, a refined young man bowed gently to Gu Man. “Miss Gu Man, hello. I’m the General Manager of Restaurant Fragrance, Xie Yu. I’m honored to have you here. Please accept this VIP gold card! The owner of this card eats free for life at Restaurant Fragrance!”
Seeing Gu Man’s confusion, Xie Yu said, “Please greet Second Master and Young Master Bai for me!”
This was Xiang Yin’s arrangement? Gu Man held the gold card in her hand and suddenly felt that it was a little heavy. She owed him a favor again!
When Gu Man returned to the private room, everyone was chatting happily. Gu Man hesitated if she should return the gold card. In the end, she decided to return it in private.
After the Gu and Li families finished eating, when they were paying at the front desk, the general manager, Xie Yu, received Zhang Yue. “Young Master Zhang, it’s an honor for you to come to Restaurant Fragrance to eat, but it’s also a pity that after the discussion of the higher executives, your VIP card has been canceled! I’m sorry, but Restaurant Fragrance can no longer serve you and your friend in the future.”
When Zhang Chuan heard this, he was dumbfounded. “Reason?”
“The guests that Young Master Zhang brought made a fuss in Restaurant Fragrance before the meal and affected the other guests.”
Did someone stand up for Gu Man? Zhang Yue looked at the “Nine Dragon Gate” at the end of the hall and suddenly thought of the mysterious man in Han City High School. The Bai family didn’t have the ability to cancel another person’s VIP status so easily!
Zhang Yue knew that no matter how many theories he had, it was useless. He could only say, “I understand.”
Gu Yuan and the others wanted to reason, but they did not dare to say anything. After all, it was because they “made a fuss” that Zhang Yue lost face.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Xie Yu quickly said, “I’ll send Young Master Zhang out! Please!”
Everyone could only accept their fate, but their faces were still hot.
This slap from Gu Man was loud enough.
At the entrance of Restaurant Fragrance, Zhang Yue said to Gu Rou, “I still have something on, I won’t send you off!” He turned around and got into the car.
Gu Rou’s eyes were red, but it was because she was angry with Gu Man. Gu Man, this damn b*tch, she would teach her a lesson when she came back.
Xiang Yin sent Gu Man back to the Gu residence.
Ten o’clock in the evening, in Xiang Yin’s study.
Bai Yun: “You asked me to investigate the Gu family. I’ve checked everything. The water is quite deep!”
“Also, I realized that the Cui family is also investigating Gu Man,” Bai Yun added.
“Why is the Cui family investigating Gu Man?” Xiang Yin suddenly remembered that when they were saving her in the afternoon, the old man had asked about her.
“I don’t know yet!”
Gu Man, what other secrets do you have? Xiang Yin stared at “The Girl in Divination” and asked himself.
