Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

Chapter 738: Qingyuan Pavilion’s Rules Are Only For Outsiders

Tang Ruge suppressed the anger in her heart, and her expression gradually softened. She said gently, “Xi Xi, sit down first.”

Qiao Xi did not answer and directly sat opposite the two of them.

After sitting down, Tang Ruge pressed the service bell. The person who entered was the manager of Qingyuan Pavilion. He and Qiao Xi looked at each other. After seeing her nod, he asked, “May I know what you need?”

Tang Lingyun was extremely excited. With Qingyuan Pavilion’s current status in Li City, even though this person was just the manager, no one would dare to offend them. Hence, the manager personally coming in to serve them must be because he valued the Tang family.

She casually ordered a few special dishes, then asked with disdain, “Miss Qiao, what do you want to order? There are many foreign languages on this menu. If you don’t understand something, I can translate it for you.”

Tang Ruge quickly stopped her. “Lingyun, don’t be so rude.”

After that, she looked at Qiao Xi gently. “Xi Xi, you can tell me what you like. I’ll help you order. There are only the three of us here and no outsiders. You don’t have to feel embarrassed.”

Qiao Xi stroked her hair and smiled meaningfully. “I can order anything?”

At this moment, Song Shiyu was sitting in a small pavilion outside the door, eating fruits and pastries. From time to time, he would glance into the private room. Just as the president had said, Young Madam could handle it herself. Moreover, the two daughters of the Tang family were no match for her.

After Qiao Xi finished speaking, the room was silent for a few seconds. Before Tang Ruge could answer, Tang Lingyun said, “Since we’re treating, of course, anything is fine.”

Qiao Xi smiled and said, “Then let’s order Qingyuan Pavilion’s signature dish, crab meatballs!”

Everyone knew that Qingyuan Pavilion only sold five servings of crab meatballs a day. Moreover, because the cooking process was complicated and exquisite, customers had to make reservations in advance. In other words, it was impossible to order this dish now.

When Tang Lingyun heard this, she instantly laughed out loud. “Qiao Xi! You’re really a country bumpkin! You’ve never been to Qingyuan Pavilion, but haven’t you heard that Qingyuan Pavilion only serves a limited number of their signature dish a day? Moreover, not just anyone can order it. Don’t you know your identity? You’re asking to eat Qingyuan Pavilion’s signature dish, but are you worthy?”

Everyone knew that the Yin family had officially announced Qiao Xi as the eldest daughter of the Yin family, but the Yin branch family had not. After all, she was not the legitimate daughter of the Yin family. The eldest daughter of the Yin family was just a title. Moreover, a vulgar wild girl like her might be removed from the Yin family one day.

Qiao Xi was not angry and asked with an innocent expression, “Didn’t Miss Tang say that it was alright for me to order anything I wanted? Why can’t I do it now?”

“You’re clearly making things difficult for her!” Tang Lingyun slammed the table. “You’re asking for crab meatballs. You clearly know that this dish needs to be reserved in advance and it’s limited edition, so you’re deliberately saying that you want to eat that dish.”

Qiao Xi raised her eyes slightly and gestured to the manager. The manager immediately understood what she meant and hurriedly went forward. “Miss Qiao, may I confirm if you want to order crab meatballs?”

The entire room instantly fell silent. When Tang Lingyun saw how respectful the manager was to Qiao Xi, her heart suffered a violent blow.

Qiao Xi nodded. Unexpectedly, the manager really brought over a bowl of steaming hot crab meatballs the next moment. The aroma instantly filled the entire room.

Tang Lingyun looked at the tempting meatballs and almost drooled. Qiao Xi could bring over a bowl just by casually saying so. In that case, was there no need to make a reservation to order the meatballs now?

Hence, Tang Lingyun waved her hand. “Sister and I want crab meatballs too. Give us two more servings!”

The manager had a smile on his face, but his tone was very distant. “I’m really sorry, but you need to make a prior booking for the crab meatballs.”

Hearing this, Tang Ruge’s and Tang Lingyun’s faces instantly darkened. Tang Lingyun said indignantly, “Since this dish needs to be booked, why did you serve her the meatballs?”

A trace of mockery flashed past the manager’s eyes. “The rules of Qingyuan Pavilion are only for outsiders. The Tang family needs to abide by them.”

Tang Ruge frowned, her expression extremely ugly.

After the manager left, Tang Lingyun shouted unwillingly, “Qiao Xi! You’re only so arrogant because of President Gu! Everyone knows that President Gu has special privileges in Qingyuan Pavilion, so you’re using his identity to put on airs in Qingyuan Pavilion! People like you are too disgusting!”
