"Really? Hai-Tao is so capable! Honghong is going to have such a wonderful life with you."
Qiu Huan was shocked to hear that Zeng Hai-Tao could get them a private room so easily.
Qiu Huan knew a little about Lu Hong's fiance.
She knew Zeng Hai-Tao hailed from a well-to-do family and was capable at a young age.
But it didn't dawn on Qiu Huan how powerful Zeng Hai-Tao's family actually was.
Qiu Huan had come to Hongxing Restaurant before.
Even Lu Wen-Jing's father, Lu Ming-Ze, couldn't get a private room so easily.
But it was child's play to Zeng Hai-Tao.
"Haha! Of course, it's true. Hai-Tao's father is the CEO of a state-owned enterprise. He is already the head of a department in the company at such a tender age, so it's true that he's highly respected. If you ever want to eat here in the future, just tell me. No matter when all it takes is a word from Hai-Tao. The restaurant manager will definitely give you the best private room," said Lu Hong. She couldn't help bragging.
Since her husband was a capable man, she felt proud.
"That's right, Auntie Huan. We will be family very soon, so don't be shy. Just tell me if you need help at all," replied Zeng Hai-Tao as he smiled.
Qiu Huan nodded and said, "Sure thing! Hai-Tao, Honghong is so lucky to be engaged to you."
Qiu Huan turned to look at Ye Fan as she applauded Zeng Hai-Tao.
Then she sighed and shook her head.
Sometimes, disparity could easily be detected through comparison.
Her biological niece, Qiu Mu-Cheng, had the looks and the figure and could compare with Lu Hong in every aspect.
But the man she married was worlds apart from Zeng Hai-Tao.
"Fan, don't mind me, but there's a fine example right beside you. You have to learn from Hai-Tao from now on. I don't ask that you be as successful as him, and it would be enough for you to have half his achievements. Then Mu-Cheng doesn't have to suffer as much while she is married to you," persuaded Qiu Huan.
Qiu Huan didn't look down on Ye Fan. She was merely hoping that her words would motivate him.
She wanted him to be diligent and lead a decent life.
Ye Fan turned her down when she offered him a job last night, so Qiu Huan was undoubtedly disappointed.
Qiu Huan only hoped that her words would wake Ye Fan up.
He should start being driven and stop living off a woman.
"Mum, Fan is incredible. All of us combined aren't half as good as Fan. I have seen many big shots being terrified of Fan," said Lu Wen-Jing. She couldn't stand the sight of her mother saying such things to Ye Fan, so she defended him.
But who would take a child's words seriously?
Lu Hong sneered and laughed right away.
"Jingjing, you're still a kid. Do you know what a big shot is? True big shots are like Hai-Tao. He can make high-end restaurants give him private rooms with a word and make managers treat him with respect. Would you believe it if I said the restaurant manager will come by and give Hai-Tao a toast?" said Lu Hong as proudly as a princess.
Zeng Hai-Tao felt even more pleased with himself.
He straightened his back a lot more!
The moment Lu Hong finished his sentence, the door opened.
Staff came in with a bottle of red wine.
"Haha. Jingjing, Auntie Huan, see? I told you the manager would offer him a toast?" said Lu Hong smugly. It seemed she assumed that the manager was on his way to drink with her fiancee.
But the restaurant employee bowed and apologized, "Ladies and gentlemen, my apologies. Someone has booked up the entire restaurant, so all our patrons have to leave. Please come back another time. We offer this wine as an apology."
Zeng Hai-Tao and Lu Hong stared dead straight at him.
"What?"
Booked the entire restaurant?
