Chapter 347: Ye Lulu Appears
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
As soon as Ye Lulu said these cold words, although her tone was neither soft nor harsh, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became silent.
She humiliated Nangong Yupiao’s personal maidservant like this. Nangong Yupiao’s expression also became ugly.
In the end, Ye Lulu turned around and looked at Nangong Yupiao. Then, she smiled coldly and added, “Right, Miss Nangong? This is how the Shang dynasty laws determine the status of a maidservant. As the eldest daughter of the Nangong family, you must know better than ordinary commoners like me.”
These words directly put Nangong Yupiao on the spot and made her agree with Ye Lulu. There were no other words to protect her maidservant, Yue’er.
Yue’er’s expression froze fiercely. She was embarrassed and extremely humiliated, but she was completely stunned and speechless.
As for Nangong Yupiao, she was also very angry. Of course, she did not agree. Her personal maidservant was definitely very noble. She was even nobler than the others. Furthermore, who was this woman? How dare she compare her maidservant to pet animals?
This woman was not even worthy of licking her maidservant’s feet!
Nangong Yupiao completely agreed with Yue’er’s words.
However, Ye Lulu spoke first and brought up the Shang dynasty’s laws. She had no grounds to rebut. No matter how arrogant Nangong Yupiao was, she knew that she could not oppose the Shang dynasty’s laws in front of everyone.
Hence, she choked on Ye Lulu’s words.
Nangong Yupiao was speechless. Yue’er could only be stepped on and humiliated by Ye Lulu like this.
Ye Lulu’s eyes were cold, but there was a smile on her lips. She said, “Thank you, Miss Nangong, for your congratulatory gift. However, you said that this is the only item in our shop that would be fancied. That’s not true. You don’t know yet, right? Just now, Madam Rufei came over and even gave us a congratulatory gift. Madam Rufei’s congratulatory gift should be worthy of your attention.”
Slap, slap, slap…
She slapped their faces repeatedly…
The words that Nangong Yupiao and her maidservant had said just now were slapped back by Ye Lulu.
When Nangong Yupiao heard this, her expression turned ugly. Why didn’t she know that Second Aunt was actually here?
What capabilities did this shop have? Was it worthy of her Second Aunt to come over personally to deliver a congratulatory gift?
Nangong Yupiao really did not agree. She came because of Guan Chibei, but after excluding Guan Chibei, she felt that this shop was not worthy for them to step foot in!
Second Aunt must be crazy. Why did she come here personally to congratulate them?!
Nangong Yupiao really did not know and did not expect this. Now that she had been slapped in the face by Ye Lulu, her face was even colder. She could not say anything and was unable to vent her anger.
The problem was that Nangong Yupiao had already sent out her gift.
Ye Lulu even stepped forward and took the congratulatory gift from Yue’er’s hands. Then, she smiled and said, “Miss Nangong, this is extraordinary. I’ll thank Miss Nangong first. You’re called Yue’er, right? Look, even your Miss came over to give us a congratulatory gift. The gift is still so expensive. It can be seen that she thinks very highly of our new shop. I’m the lady boss, also the shop owner. Don’t you think that your words are completely wrong?”
Nangong Yupiao was speechless.
Yue’er looked embarrassed.
They could not refute her at all.
All the customers were also speechless.
The lady boss was lying through her teeth! Which of the words that the noble miss had said just now meant that she thought highly of her shop?
She obviously did not like her at all!
The only one who was happy was Ye Lulu. When she said this, Nangong Yupiao and Yue’er’s faces darkened. Everyone was flabbergasted and the entire hall was silent.
Indeed, after saying these words, Ye Lulu actually accepted Nangong Yupiao’s congratulatory gift!
It would be a waste if she did not want it. She would not let anyone come knocking on her door and ruin the scene but save the other party’s gift for her in the end.
Of course, she would accept the gift. How could she let go of such a precious golden Pixiu?
Ye Lulu received the Pixiu with a smile and even said, “Miss Nangong, you’re so kind. Don’t worry, I’ll place this golden Pixiu in the most eye-catching place at the door and tell all the customers who enter that this is a gift from the Nangong family. Whoever dares to steal it will offend the Nangong family.”
“Thank you, Miss Nangong.”
Nangong Yupiao had lived for so long, and she was always the one who let others suffer. Now, she almost vomited blood.
This woman was too detestable!
Nangong Yupiao’s face was green, purple, red, and black. However, she could not say a single word. Her breath was stuck in her chest and she was about to go crazy.
Ye Lulu smiled as she held the brocade box. She turned around and placed the golden Pixiu on the other side of the counter. The moment people entered, they would also see the mountain inlaid with gold that Madam Rufei had given to her.
When Guan Chibei saw Ye Lulu’s actions, his dark eyes softened as he watched her turn around and place the golden Pixiu.
Guan Chibei turned around and nodded at Nangong Yupiao. He said, “I have to thank Miss Nangong.”
Nangong Yupiao quietly stomped her feet and let out a breath of relief. Forget it. She would just treat it as giving this man face. She would forget about it and not argue with this woman.
In any case, she was here today for the man.
As Nangong Yupiao thought this, she coaxed herself again. She held a silk handkerchief in her hand and said to Guan Chibei, “Alright, I only appeared today to casually give a congratulatory gift to your shop. I won’t eat anything here. Ignoring the delicacies, I can’t possibly eat at a shop of your level.”
All the customers were speechless.
Who was this person? She sounded so annoying!
Everyone was convinced, but Nangong Yupiao still felt that she had performed well and displayed her superiority vividly. Guan Chibei must have received this. She secretly looked at Guan Chibei and her gaze landed on his deep and handsome face. Her heart could not help but beat faster. Then, Nangong Yupiao pretended not to care and raised her chin proudly before leaving with the guards.
She had no idea that Madam Rufei was with Nangong Qin at a private room upstairs, eating in a restaurant that she looked down on.
After watching such a big show, all the customers could be said to be extremely emotional and satisfied.
They turned around and wanted to see how the lady boss would react and if she really did not care. They saw Ye Lulu place the golden Pixiu and say with a smile:
“Everyone, eat well and continue enjoying yourselves. Don’t worry about what happened just now.”
There was nothing unusual.
Ye Lulu returned to the kitchen while Guan Chibei continued to look after the situation. Mother Rong and the Guan family rushed in and out to help.
After that, everything was calm and there were no other disturbances. On the first day of the new restaurant’s opening, although it was not considered to be full, customers still came like clouds.. The customers kept entering one after another.
