89 Borrow a Place

People in the Imperial City always kept their eye on the course of events.

After Ou Xiangtian and the others found out that Zhen Bao Pavilion had booked the whole Phoenix Restaurant for Chu Liuyue, they immediately changed their attitude and came without stopping.

The news of their arrival caused many—who had previously maintained a neutral stance—to fall in line and come one after the other. They couldn’t afford to offend the Crown Prince and the Chu family, but the consequences of offending Zhen Bao Pavilion were much worse!

When the Crown Prince had suffered a loss at Zhen Bao Pavilion, he hadn’t been able to retaliate.

As such, people from all over Imperial City began to arrive in waves. By noon, the large Phoenix Restaurant was actually filled to the brim.

“Manager, all the private rooms on the second floor have been filled up. The first floor is also full. We still have a dozen guests outside yet to be seated!”

The pageboys at Phoenix Restaurant were so busy that they hadn’t had time to rest their feet.

“Oh, Ms. Liuyue, you’re mistaken. I didn’t invite those people that came towards the end!” Yan Ge quickly waved his hand. Those on his invite list were all respectable and dignified.

The people that came later hadn’t even popped up in his mind when he was drafting the invitation list. However, all of them came with an invitation!

“Lord Chu Ning, you’ve sent out too many invitations!”

Chu Ning’s hands balled into fists as he coughed. “At first, I thought not many of them would bother to come, so I sent a few more…”

At the time, he thought it would make a difference if only one of the people he invited did come here. However, he didn’t expect all of them to be here!

They had now run out of room in the restaurant!

Chu Liuyue naturally knew what was on her father’s mind. For a moment, she was caught between laughter and tears. She pondered for a moment and suddenly had an idea. “Officer Zhao, I wonder if it will be possible to trouble you for an errand?”

Zhao Ming—who had been standing to their side—immediately replied, “Ms. Liuyue, I’m at your command.”

try { window._mNHandle.queue.push(function () { window._mNDetails.loadTag("386623558", "300x250", "386623558"); }); } catch (error) { }

Chu Liuyue pulled out an invitation and handed it to him. “Officer Zhao, please deliver this invitation to the Chu family.”

Chu Liuyue tapped on that invitation as her red lips curved. “Their restaurants are not up to the standard, so naturally we can’t let our VIPs go there and suffer. However, we can have them bring over some tables and chairs and set them up on the street outside Phoenix Restaurant. I’m sure we can put quite a number of tables outside.”

“Phoenix Restaurant will still provide tea, wine, and food. At the same time, their staff can stay behind to help with the chores and save us from the manpower shortage. It’s a win-win situation, isn’t it?”

Zhao Ming foolishly asked, “I-is this okay?”

“Why not? Didn’t they also say they’ll give us a discount for old times’ sake?” Chu Liuyue smiled brightly. “I, Chu Liuyue, can still afford to pay for this!”

All those present were flabbergasted by what she said. It took them quite a long time to regain their senses.

Yan Ge couldn’t help himself from giving her a thumbs up. “Ms. Liuyue, you’re simply amazing!”

This is no longer a slap; she is literally ripping the Chu family’s face off, throwing it on the ground, and stomping on it! When this invitation arrives at the Chu family, it will antagonize them so much that they will vomit blood! She is indeed worthy of Master’s love. This strategy is fantastic!

Chu Liuyue urged, “Officer Zhao, please.”
