BXBX NOVEL Chapter 31
Zhou Jianzhong was shocked. “Tang Sumei!”
At this point, Ye Yao’s intention of speaking up for Zhou Jianzhong instantly disappeared. She spread her hands. “I’m sorry, your business has nothing to do with me. I’m hungry. I’m going to eat.” With that, she turned around and walked towards the restaurant.
Zhou Jianzhong observed that Ye Yao seemed to relax a little as she instantly turned to leave. He wanted to slap Tang Sumei right there and then! This woman completely lacked judgment! If this matter didn’t resolve favorably in the end, it would be Tang Sumei’s fault! Moreover, if Huo Buyu were to bar them from this city in the future, that would be the end of them!
Zhou Chen immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. “Ye Yao, Ye Yao, don’t leave just yet…” However, Ye Yao acted as if she did not hear him.
Seeing how things were turning out, Ye Sui cursed, “Ye Yao, don’t you have any shame?! You’re someone’s kept woman, and you’re flaunting it. Let me tell you, if the business collaboration between the two families doesn’t work out, your father will surely not let you off! You b*tch! Jinx! Nothing good happens every time I meet you. Do you know why your father doesn’t like you, your mother doesn’t like you, and even Zhou Chen doesn’t like you? Because you’re so cheap!”
Zhou Chen was furious when he heard this. “Ye Sui, are you done talking?! Shut up!” Why was this woman so stupid? Didn’t she understand the situation?! Even if Ye Yao were Gao Qiao’s kept woman, she was Gao Qiao’s woman still. Wasn’t scolding Ye Yao a slap to Gao Qiao’s face then?
Ye Sui was a little afraid of Zhou Chen. After he had spoken, she fell silent and did not dare to say anything else.
Huo Buyu and Gao Qiao, on the other hand, had no interest in getting involved with such people either. Huo Buyu instructed the person in charge of the restaurant, “Remember what these people look like. Don’t let them enter here in the future. No matter who brings them here.”
The person in charge of the restaurant quickly nodded and put Zhou Jianzhong and the others down in the records.
Ye Sui said unhappily once Ye Yao, Huo Buyu, and Gao Qiao had disappeared through the door, “So pretentious! Ye Yao is really shameless.” She walked to Zhou Chen’s side and said, “Fortunately, you’ve broken up with Ye Yao. Otherwise, I don’t know how many times over she’d have cheated on you.”
Zhou Chen looked obsessively in the direction where Ye Yao had disappeared.
Ye Sui was angry when she noticed this. She even fanned the flames and said, “So be it if they won’t let us in. It’s the restaurant’s loss if they don’t get our patronage. It’s so expensive eating here, who would want to come?”
Zhou Chen was furious. “Shut up! You idiot! If you want to survive and gain a foothold in the capital, how can you not host banquets? This is the Huo family’s territory. Huo Buyu has personally declared a ban on us. The entire upper-class society in the imperial capital has to watch the Huo family’s movements. Today, Huo Buyu’s words have effectively taken away all our opportunities to interact with upper-class society. Do you not think it’s a serious matter?!”
Ye Sui instantly fell silent. To her, this was just a restaurant. Who would have thought that things would end up being so serious that they’d be barred from the gatherings of the upper-class society in the future? That must not happen. She had recently gotten to know a few friends who said that they wanted to take her to some of these gatherings of the upper-class society. Wouldn’t it be very embarrassing if all the gatherings were to be held in this restaurant she couldn’t enter?
At the thought of this, Ye Sui was instantly anxious. “Then what should we do?” She was so anxious that she was on the verge of tears. “Ye Yao is a jinx. Nothing good happens when we see her. Why didn’t she die overseas?!”
Zhou Jianzhong frowned. He had always looked down on Ye Sui, but his wife, Tang Sumei, liked her. Things have come to this, and all she could do was curse rather than come up with solutions.
Tang Sumei had been married to Zhou Jianzhong for more than twenty years. She knew that Zhou Jianzhong was genuinely furious now. She held his hand and said, “Hubby, don’t be angry. I’ve thought about it. Since the cause of this matter is Ye Yao, then once we settle Ye Yao, the other issues can be resolved. Ye Yao likes Zhou Chen so much, as long as the man has a proper chat with her, she will definitely be agreeable.”
When Ye Sui heard that there was going to be contact between Zhou Chen and Ye Yao, she immediately protested, “Auntie, Ye Yao is a vixen. If you let Zhou Chen interact with her, I’m worried that he will be bewitched by her.”
