Meng Qiulan couldn't be happier that Zeng Huizhen didn't leave.
She was more than willing to let her get slapped in the face when she was so eager for it.
Some people just took themselves too seriously, were self-righteous and arrogant, and always wanted to bully others whenever they met them.
It was just right to let her taste the feeling of kicking an iron plate.
Another waiter immediately went to find the manager.
In less than two minutes, the lobby manager came over.
With a warm and enthusiastic expression, he said, "Distinguished guests, hello."
On the way here, the waiter had roughly explained the situation. There were two groups of guests who didn't get along and were competing for the last private room, and the other group of guests specifically asked for the luxurious private room numbered 1111.
Hearing this, the manager was afraid that there would be a quarrel, so he came over immediately.
Businessmen always valued peace.
This manager had been working in Yunqing Restaurant for over three years and recognized Meng Qiulan at a glance.
He became even more polite and respectful at once, with a big smile on his face, "Ah, Mrs. Huo, you're here. Please come this way!"
He then immediately told the waiter, "Go and turn on the air conditioner in 1111."
Mrs. Huo, the mother of the boss.
Meng Qiulan had a smile on her face. She gave Zeng Huizhen a glance and then said to the manager, "Call me Mrs. Huo from now on. This is my daughter-in-law Shen Modi. You can call her Mrs. Huo too."
"Ah, okay, okay." The manager replied immediately.
"Xiao Di, let's go to the private room." Meng Qiulan took Shen Modi's hand with a smile all over her face.
Zeng Huizhen: "..."
What on earth was going on?
Was she slapped in the face again?
They had said there was only one last private room left, and she had managed to get that last private room, but now Shen Modi was being invited to the luxurious private room.
Ahhh, so angry!
She felt like her lungs were going to explode!
Her heart felt so stuffy, and there was a fire burning inside her.
Meng Qiulan walked forward with Shen Modi, saying as she walked, "Xiao Di, this 1111 is our long-term reserved private room. In the future, if you want to come here for a meal or bring friends over, you can just use 1111."
Zeng Huizhen: "!"
Her face became extremely ugly.
So, this old hag had just deliberately rubbed her face on the ground.
She clearly had a long-term reserved private room but pretended to be crazy and stupid to lure her into the trap.
She was so angry.
She hadn't heard clearly just now whether it was Mrs. He or Mrs. Huo.
Nor did she know whose property this restaurant was.
Then she heard Meng Qiulan say to Shen Modi again, "Xiao Di, do you know why we reserved 1111 instead of 9999?"
"Why?" Shen Modi asked curiously.
Meng Qiulan immediately raised her voice a little and said, "There are two meanings. One meaning is to be faithful until death. The other meaning is that 9 represents respect. In our hearts, guests are the most precious. Although we are wealthy, we can't be like some people who become so arrogant when they have money..."
She deliberately walked slowly just to let Zeng Huizhen hear her.
Zeng Huizhen was so angry that she was fuming at the nostrils, and her face was so gloomy that it could freeze people to death.
"Mom, let's go into the private room." Song Keying said in a low voice.
They had lost this round again, and she was angry too!
But standing here would only make them more embarrassed.
Zeng Huizhen was full of anger and had nowhere to vent it. When Song Keying called out, she exploded, "Go into what private room? Are all the restaurants in Haicheng closed down? Let's go eat somewhere else. This lousy restaurant is so crowded everywhere. I thought it was such a nice place, but it turns out to be like a vegetable market."
Since she knew it was the property of Shen Modi's in-laws, there was no way she would stay and have a meal here.
Song Keying also realized this and immediately tried to please her, "Yes, it's so crowded and messy. Mom, let's go somewhere else."
The two of them left the restaurant in a hurry.
As soon as they left the restaurant, Song Keying was so angry that she called Shen Modi.
However, it was an empty number.
Heh, was she afraid of her and blocked her?
...
Meng Qiulan had already taken Shen Modi to the 1111 private room.
She handed the menu to Shen Modi, "Come on, daughter-in-law. Take a look and see what you like to eat."
"Mom, you order. I'm okay with anything." Shen Modi said politely.
"Then I'll order." Meng Qiulan had a gentle smile on her face. She ordered several dishes, three meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, and one soup.
She knew that Shen Modi had grown up in Meicheng and had only come to Haicheng in recent years.
Meicheng and Haicheng were over 300 kilometers apart. Their tastes were roughly the same, but the dishes in Meicheng were a bit lighter.
She specifically told the manager, "Tell the kitchen to make it a bit lighter."
"Okay, Madam." The manager took the menu and left in person.
While waiting for the dishes, Meng Qiulan took the initiative to chat with Shen Modi.
Afraid that Shen Modi might be sensitive, she didn't ask about her work or income. Instead, she talked about Shen Modi's father, "Xiao Di, don't worry too much about your father's situation. With Qiu Zhan treating him personally, your father will definitely get better. Don't look at Qiu Zhan's young age. He's a traditional Chinese medicine doctor from a family of inheritance and has also studied Western medicine. He's smart and has a good understanding. At just over twenty years old, he's already better than many experienced doctors."
"Yes, Doctor Qiu is really good." When it came to Qiu Zhan, Shen Modi was full of gratitude.
Meng Qiulan smiled and said, "Also, as the old saying goes, when people live well, their illnesses will get better too. The happiest thing for elders is to see the younger generation living well. When your father sees that you and Mingze are doing well and that your younger brother is doing well, he'll be in a good mood and will recover faster."
Look, Shen Modi was very different from Yu Tong.
Shen Modi appreciated and was grateful to everyone.
Yu Tong was so conceited that she looked down on Mingze's friends who weren't from wealthy families.
She shared the same view as Mingze that people should make friends in a diversified way. Among any three people walking, I will find something to learn for sure. As long as their character is okay, they can all be friends.
"Yes, everything will get better." Shen Modi's eyes were firm.
Meng Qiulan smiled and said, "Yes, I heard that your younger brother can have his cochlear implant activated next week. When your younger brother starts talking, your father will get better even faster."
"Uh-huh." Shen Modi couldn't help but have her eyes misty with excitement.
She was also looking forward to her younger brother speaking, to him calling Dad, Sister, and everyone else.
Meng Qiulan felt a bit sorry for Shen Modi when she saw her like this. She reached out, took her hand, patted the back of her hand, and said, "Child, good people may be bullied by others, but heaven will never do that. Heaven has its own arrangements."
Just then, the manager personally led the waiters to serve the dishes.
Meng Qiulan immediately greeted Shen Modi, "Come on, let's eat. Mom didn't order much. Let's try to finish it all."
Meng Qiulan picked up a hot towel to wipe her hands, then picked up the chopsticks and picked up a chicken leg for Shen Modi.
"Thank you, Mom. You eat too." Shen Modi also immediately picked up food for Meng Qiulan.
"Okay." Meng Qiulan had a big smile on her face.
After the meal, Meng Qiulan asked for Shen Modi's opinion, "Xiao Di, let's go shopping again next time. Are you going back to the company or to the hospital? Or somewhere else? I'll ask the driver to take you."
She was free every day, but she thought Shen Modi must be busy. She had to work and take care of her father and younger brother at the same time.
Anyway, they were all family now, and there would be plenty of time to go shopping together in the future.
Shen Modi immediately said, "Mom, there's no need to send me. The hospital isn't far from here. I can just walk there."
"So you're going to the hospital. I'll ask the driver to take you. Let's go." Meng Qiulan took Shen Modi's arm.
Shen Modi's cell phone rang.
It was Huo Mingze calling.
Meng Qiulan saw it at a glance and smiled, "Quick, answer the phone."
Shen Modi answered the phone, and Meng Qiulan stood by, smiling.
She was an experienced person, so of course she understood. Her son and Shen Modi got married through an arranged meeting and got the marriage certificate. Their relationship was still shallow and needed to be cultivated carefully.
"Mingze." Shen Modi answered the phone.
"Did you have a good time shopping with Mom?" Huo Mingze's gentle voice came from the phone.
