Siheyuan: The rise and fall of the He family is our responsibility

"Thank you for your honor. I will arrange a private room for you right away." Manager Ma said with a smile.

"Four. Arrange a room near the window for me. Otherwise it's too stuffy."

"Okay, please wait a moment." After hearing Boss Chen's request, Manager Ma went to the back to arrange a private room.

"Dad, didn't you say that it would just be the two of us having dinner? Why are there other people here?" The young girl following behind Boss Chen frowned and said dissatisfiedly when she heard this.

The girl had a quiet personality and didn't like eating in such a noisy place. If it wasn't for her father's birthday today and he had repeatedly assured her that there would be no other people, she would not have come out to eat with him.

As soon as these words came out, Boss Chen, who was a veteran daughter slave, quickly smiled and said, "Xue Ru, this person who came this time is not a stranger, but a good friend of Dad, the owner of Yingtian Boxing Gym. He came here this time to let you learn a few moves from him. After all, we know the situation outside now, and it is always useful to have some self-protection ability."

"Dad, I don't usually go out, why should I learn these? Besides, I'm a girl, so what good will it do even if I learn a few tricks? It's better for me to run more often so that I can run faster when I encounter danger." The girl said calmly.

"Okay, Dad is not good at talking and can't beat you in an argument, but since we're already here, we can't just turn around and leave. Let's have a meal first." Boss Chen rubbed his brows with a headache. Ever since his daughter grew up and read more books, he never had the upper hand in talking. He could only comfort her with a few words and then followed Manager Ma to the private room arranged for him.

Not long after the father and daughter arrived in the private room, the remaining two guests also arrived.

When Boss Chen saw the guest coming, he laughed and said, "Haha, Master Lin, you are finally here. Please sit down."

After that, he turned his gaze to the young man behind Master Lin and said kindly, "I guess this must be Nephew Lin. He is really a handsome man."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Boss Chen. The girl next to you is Xueru, right? I didn't expect she has grown up so much."

"Children are all like this. If you haven't seen them for a while, they grow very fast. They change every day." Boss Chen turned to Chen Xueru and said, "Come on, Xueru, come and meet your Uncle Lin."

Although she felt uncomfortable, Chen Xueru still knew that she had to give face to her father outside, so she stepped forward and said to Master Lin: "Hello, Uncle Lin."

Just as she was about to say hello to the young man next to her, she found that he was staring at her with the eyes of looking at prey. The eyes filled with greed and desire made Chen Xueru take a step back.

The young man seemed not to notice Chen Xueru's abnormality. He stepped forward and introduced himself enthusiastically: "Hello, Xueru, my name is Lin Langtian. If you don't mind, you can just call me Brother Sheng Langtian."

"Hello, nice to meet you." After Chen Xueru simply greeted him, she sat next to Boss Chen and stopped talking.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit tense, Boss Chen quickly stood up to smooth things over. "Well, now that everyone is here, let's order some food. Come to Langtian and see if there's anything you want to eat. You order first."

Originally, Boss Chen just wanted to be polite, but he didn't expect Lin Langtian to actually take the menu. "In that case, I'd better obey your command." After that, he shouted to the outside, "Someone come, let's order some food."

This pretentious and uncultured attitude not only made Chen Xueru unhappy, but even Boss Chen couldn't help but frown.

"Okay, wait a moment." Manager Ma was greeting guests in another private room at the moment. Hearing Lin Langtian's voice, he didn't want to leave them alone, so he shouted towards the kitchen, "He Yuzhu, the guests in room eight are ordering food, go and greet them."

"Got it." Hearing Manager Ma's voice, He Yuzhu responded, then took a pen and paper to Room 8 and asked, "Hello, are you guys going to order food?"

After entering the room, He Yuzhu first glanced around habitually. Apart from Chen Xueru's beautiful face with bright eyes and white teeth, which made his eyes light up slightly, he did not have any other special reaction. He stood respectfully aside waiting for the guests to order.

"Waiter, bring me five or six of your signature dishes, and forget about the rest." Lin Langtian said arrogantly, acting like a host.

"Okay, our signature dishes include braised sea cucumber, steamed turtle, steamed duck with wine, fish fillet in fermented wine, almond tofu and so on. Do you like these five dishes?" He Yuzhu said calmly, listing a large number of dish names in succession.

"Okay, let's do as you say, Uncle Chen and Sister Xueru, is there anything else you want to order?" After ordering five dishes, Lin Langtian remembered that there were other people and began to ask the Chen father and daughter for their opinions.

'You only remembered to ask for my opinion after you've ordered the dishes. It's too late.' Boss Chen thought in his heart, but he was the boss after all, so he still said calmly: "No need, Xueru and I have no objection."

Although Boss Chen's demeanor remained the same, Chen Xueru standing next to him was not in a good mood. Her originally cold face now seemed covered with a layer of frost, which made people feel a little cold.

"Okay, that's it. Remember to serve them quickly, don't be so slow." Lin Langtian closed the menu, walked in front of He Yuzhu, and said to him in a superior tone.

"Okay, the food will be here soon, please wait." Although He Yuzhu was unhappy with the attitude of the young man in front of him, he was doing this for a living after all, so he didn't say much. After leaving the private room, he ran to the kitchen to order the food.

Half an hour later, He Yuzhu arrived at the door of the private room carrying a few dishes, but before he pushed the door open, he heard a cold female voice coming from inside.

"Dad, I'm not interested in learning martial arts, and I don't want to practice with him. I have things to do, so I'll take my leave now."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the private room was opened from the inside, and a graceful figure walked out quickly.

At this time, Chen Xueru was still angry and didn't pay attention to the road ahead, and fell straight into He Yuzhu's arms.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, He Yuzhu's stable lower body subconsciously exerted force, resulting in He Yuzhu not moving at all. Instead, Chen Xueru, who had hit her, was knocked backwards by the rebound force of He Yuzhu.

Chen Xueru, who lost her balance, swayed subconsciously and began to wave her hands instinctively, trying to grab something to stop herself from falling.

But unexpectedly, Chen Xueru's right hand accidentally touched He Yuzhu's right hand holding the dish while waving, and immediately, the steaming dish fell towards Chen Xueru's pretty face.

"Xue Ru, be careful!" Lin Langtian became anxious when he saw this scene. He pushed away the stool in front of him and rushed here quickly.
