Ruan Xiaoqiao was about to say something when she saw the waiter serving a bowl of snow clam stewed bird’s nest to everyone. Ruan Xiaoqiao’s face immediately turned black because she didn’t order that dish.
Although she asked about the price of the snow clam stewed bird’s nest when she made the reservation yesterday, the hotel used top-grade bird’s nest and premium snow clams. It was priced at 588 yuan per serving, and she invited 30 people, so it would cost her 18,000 yuan. Was she crazy?
That’s why she didn’t order it at that time and changed it to abalone pork rib soup instead, which was also priced at 88 yuan per serving. It looked quite upscale as well. But now they served her this? Did the manager not hear my words correctly and brought this to me?
Ruan Xiaoqiao almost vomited blood at the thought of 18,000 yuan! And there were more than 30 people present…
Ruan Xiaoqiao was about to speak and ask them to take it away when Zhang Lan exclaimed, “Xiaoqiao is indeed a big shot, willing to spend so much.” As she said that, she scooped a spoonful and ate it.
Ruan Xiaoqiao couldn’t stop her in time and cursed in her mind, “Damn it!” Then she said to the head waiter, “I didn’t order this.”
The head waiter smiled and said to Ruan Xiaoqiao, “Miss, this is indeed what you ordered, Room 206, right?”
Ruan Xiaoqiao was angry and guessed that the manager must have misunderstood. She explained, “I didn’t order it; your manager misunderstood. Call him over.”

Liang Jiamin: “…” So, with the intention of avenging Zhou Qiaoqiao, Liang Jiamin also took a sip of the bird’s nest.
At that moment, Ruan Xiaoqiao’s gaze shot towards the two of them. Zhou Qiaoqiao stuck out her tongue, thinking, “Oh my, this cost them 1,200 yuan. How satisfying!”
The manager arrived quickly and was still polite to Ruan Xiaoqiao. After all, this customer had ordered dishes worth over 8,000 yuan yesterday!
“Miss, is there a problem?” the manager asked.
Ruan Xiaoqiao pointed at the bird’s nest in front of her and asked, “I didn’t order this yesterday. I just asked about it.” It’s worth 18,000 yuan!
Moreover, there were more than 30 people now! It had already exceeded 20,000 yuan.
Upon hearing this, the manager smiled and said, “Miss, you might have forgotten. You didn’t order it yesterday; you made the reservation for today’s lunch.”
Ruan Xiaoqiao clenched her teeth. Was the manager denying it? She didn’t expect such a big hotel to deceive customers!
Ruan Xiaoqiao forced a smile and said through gritted teeth, “Are you mistaken? I came here at 5 p.m. today.”
Ruan Xiaoqiao’s words made the manager anxious. He said, “Miss, don’t you remember? At 3:30 p.m., a gentleman came and made the reservation, and he paid for it.”
Ruan Xiaoqiao wanted to argue, but the information in his words stunned her.
Suddenly, the people at the table started joking again, saying, “Xiaoqiao, is that your boyfriend?”
Others looked at Ruan Xiaoqiao teasingly. Ruan Xiaoqiao knew she didn’t have a boyfriend, but she couldn’t help but wonder if someone liked her and secretly paid for her to save face.
For a moment, she didn’t know whether to admit it or deny it. Thinking about the possibility, her face turned red.
Everyone at the table became more convinced that it was her boyfriend and continued to tease her.
Liang Jiamin whispered to Zhou Qiaoqiao, “That person must be blind. Who could be interested in her?”
Zhou Qiaoqiao nodded in agreement…
“Ah! Look, that gentleman has arrived,” the manager said excitedly.
Ruan Xiaoqiao turned her head to look and felt a tremor in her heart. She didn’t know what to say.
Zhou Qiaoqiao also fell silent as she looked at the man entering. “…”
The people at the table were even more astonished. They looked at his attire, his aura, and the disdainful gaze in his eyes… There was no doubt, he was the epitome of a domineering CEO.
Yan Wei scanned the room and finally found Zhou Qiaoqiao. He put on a smile and said, “Qiaoqiao.”
Zhou Qiaoqiao: “Ah!”
“I’m not late, am I?” Yan Wei walked over to Zhou Qiaoqiao and asked her.
What could Zhou Qiaoqiao say? She could only shake her head and say, “No.”
Yan Wei smiled faintly and then looked at Liang Jiamin seriously.
Liang Jiamin: “…” She quietly got up and gave up her seat next to Zhou Qiaoqiao. She politely asked Yan Wei, “Why don’t you sit here instead?”
Yan Wei also smiled politely and said, “How could I do that? It wouldn’t be appropriate.” Then he sat down without hesitation…
Liang Jiamin: “…”
The manager looked at Yan Wei and realized that Yan Wei and Ruan Xiaoqiao didn’t know each other at all. He quickly said to Yan Wei, “Sir, is this the bird’s nest dish you ordered?”
Yan Wei nodded and said, “Yes, I heard Qiaoqiao was coming for the gathering today, so I thought of adding a dish. I can’t let Qiaoqiao lose face, right?”
Everyone: “…” Have you thought about the face of the person treating?
Zhou Qiaoqiao: “…” This is really embarrassing for me!
Yan Wei crossed his legs, placed one hand on the back of the chair behind Zhou Qiaoqiao, and looked down, casually flicking his fingers. He asked Ruan Xiaoqiao across from him, “I heard that you invited Qiaoqiao here. I’m glad, but I heard some rumors that Qiaoqiao offended you. I wonder what happened?”
Ruan Xiaoqiao’s legs trembled. She didn’t know who Yan Wei was, but she had heard that the company’s CEO held him in high regard, which made her hesitate to act rashly.
“Miss Ruan, there’s no need to worry. I came here with sincerity,” Yan Wei pointed at the bird’s nest and said, “I checked the menu and thought this would be a good dessert. You can rest assured that I’m fair. If Qiaoqiao did something wrong, I wouldn’t favor her.”
Ruan Xiaoqiao wavered for a moment. Yan Wei’s words seemed so genuine and sincere.
Liang Jiamin couldn’t bear it any longer and said to Yan Wei, “What did Qiaoqiao do wrong?”
Yan Wei smiled faintly and replied, “How could my Qiaoqiao do something wrong?”
Liang Jiamin: “…”
Ruan Xiaoqiao: “…” That’s not what you said earlier.
Now that she thought about Yan Wei’s words, it was all a trap! What did he mean by saying that if my Qiaoqiao did something wrong, he wouldn’t favor her? But what if, in his heart, his Qiaoqiao didn’t do anything wrong? Whether it’s good or bad, it’s all up to his words.
Zhou Qiaoqiao hadn’t fully processed the situation yet and pushed Yan Wei while feeling wronged. “She bullied me, she said bad things about me. Yan Wei, you also bullied me.”
Yan Wei: “…”
Liang Jiamin, who realized the situation, said to Zhou Qiaoqiao, “Qiaoqiao, say less.”
Zhou Qiaoqiao looked at Liang Jiamin beside Yan Wei, feeling even more wronged. “You also bully me.”
Liang Jiamin: “Be good, I’ll treat you to ice cream later.”
Zhou Qiaoqiao was comforted and picked up the bird’s nest drink. “Jiamin, have some! My husband is paying for it, it would be a waste not to eat.”
Zhou Qiaoqiao truly felt that whether she ate or not, she was at a loss.
Yan Wei: “…”
Ruan Xiaoqiao finally understood the situation. Yan Wei was indeed not reasonable; he came here to support Zhou Qiaoqiao.
A hero doesn’t suffer losses. Ruan Xiaoqiao stood up with her wine glass and said, “Mr. Yan, it’s my fault. I’ll toast Qiaoqiao.”
Mr. Yan?
Everyone at the table turned to look at Yan Wei. If Ruan Xiaoqiao referred to him as Mr. Yan, he must be someone extraordinary.
Yan Wei tapped Zhou Qiaoqiao, lifted his chin, and Zhou Qiaoqiao, in a daze, tried to get up with her wine glass. But Yan Wei held her down and said, “She’s toasting you, just drink it.”
Zhou Qiaoqiao suddenly realized and drank the wine. Ruan Xiaoqiao’s face had turned the color of pig liver. She had never seen someone so arrogant. Zhou Qiaoqiao and Ruan Xiaoqiao were peers, so why should Zhou Qiaoqiao be subjected to her toast? In the end, it was all because of the man beside her!
Seeing Ruan Xiaoqiao soften her attitude, the other people at the table didn’t dare to confront Yan Wei head-on. Although they didn’t know him, they weren’t naive youngsters fresh out of college. The person who made Ruan Xiaoqiao wary was not someone they could afford to offend.
Therefore, after Ruan Xiaoqiao sat down resolutely, everyone eagerly raised their glasses to toast Zhou Qiaoqiao. It was the first time Zhou Qiaoqiao received such a warm welcome, and she couldn’t contain her happiness.
They ate and drank, chatting and reminiscing about their university days, creating a harmonious and joyful atmosphere.
When they left, Zhou Qiaoqiao was already drunk and couldn’t even recognize Yan Wei anymore.
Yan Wei held her and walked outside, while Zhou Qiaoqiao desperately held onto Liang Jiamin and shouted, “Jiamin, save me… He wants, he wants to take me away…”
Liang Jiamin pushed her away without hesitation and said, “Go with him.”
Zhou Qiaoqiao, who was pushed into Yan Wei’s arms, covered her face and cried, saying, “Minbao doesn’t love me anymore, Yan Wei, she doesn’t love me.”
Yan Wei: “…”
So you actually remember my name.
The classmates accompanied Yan Wei outside and saw a Maybach parked at the entrance. The guys were in awe… Damn, it’s a luxury car!
The girls didn’t understand the car and didn’t recognize the license plate, but they could tell it was an expensive car just by looking at it.
As a result, before Yan Wei could even get in the car, Liang Jiamin rushed over and hugged the car door, shouting inside, “Liang Liang, are you here to pick me up?”
Yan Wei: “…”
That’s my driver.
Liang Liang: “…”
Liang Jiamin opened the door and sat in the passenger seat, then leaned out and said to Yan Wei, “Let me give you a ride home!”
Yan Wei: “…”
That’s my car.
Li Liang sighed and reached out to pull Liang Jiamin, saying, “Be quiet.”
Liang Jiamin smiled, tightly closed her lips, and nodded. Yan Wei suddenly understood why Zhou Qiaoqiao and Liang Jiamin had become friends. Clearly, birds of a feather flock together!
They’re all quite silly and cute!
Yan Wei opened the back seat and said to Liang Jiamin, “Thank you.”
Liang Jiamin immediately turned around and said, “No need to thank me. Qiaoqiao and I are good friends.” Then she turned to Mao Liang and winked. “Liang Liang, let’s take them home!” After all, even though Yan Wei didn’t work for them anymore, he was still their former boss!
Li Liang smiled, sighed, and said, “Alright, I’ll take them home.”
Mao Liang’s smile was very charming, and Liang Jiamin couldn’t help but stare.
Yan Wei held Zhou Qiaoqiao while she kept muttering, “Jiamin, I played with them today too.”
Liang Jiamin ignored her, and Yan Wei replied on behalf of Liang Jiamin, “Hmm.”
Zhou Qiaoqiao continued, “I’m very happy.”
Upon hearing this, Yan Wei lowered his head, touched her head, and said, “That’s good.”

So cute, and poor Yan Wei, he ‘lost’ his car and his driver that night lol…
❤️ for your comment!
I reread this and i just realised Mao Liang name changes a lot 🤣🤣
Hahaha. Is it Maoliang and sometimes Mao Liang? Sometimes my eyes are too tired to proofread. And this was my first novel translation, I’ve learned to keep a list of names and titles on a separate document now so I won’t make too much mistakes.
No? If his name turns from Mao Liang to Maoliang, Liang Liang, Ah Liang, Xiao Mao (but, Xiao Mao isn’t too suitable for him 😂), it can be understood and brushed off. But, his name became “Li Liang” a few times here. 😅
