"No, no, no, I need your help. You know how I get, talking nonsense once I've been in the car too long."
Clearly, Eric's grandfather had booked the entire restaurant. The waiters started tending to them from the moment they alighted from the car, and seeing Eric's entire family waiting at the tables, Li Ang had never experienced such treatment in his life.
