Chapter 29: It’s Better to Keep a Low Profile

As soon as Ye Chen heard that Xiao Hailong had actually booked Tianxiangfu, he was somewhat surprised.

What a coincidence, didn’t Hong Wuzai say that Tianxiangfu was his establishment?

It seemed he had also prepared a banquet for himself at Tianxiangfu, right?

At this moment, Wang Yunfei, who was beside him, exclaimed in surprise, “Hailong, you actually managed to book the golden private room at Tianxiangfu? That’s not something just anyone can reserve!”

Xiao Hailong smiled proudly and said, “To be honest, aside from the top diamond private room at Tianxiangfu, I really can’t book anything else. The rest isn’t that big of a deal.”

Though he said that, it was merely Xiao Hailong’s bragging.

In fact, to secure this golden private room, Old Lady Xiao personally intervened, paying a considerable price and asking several people for help before successfully booking it.

Dong Ruolin had heard of Tianxiangfu’s reputation while in Yanjing and quickly said, “We’re all friends here; there’s no need to be so extravagant.”

Xiao Hailong flattered her, saying, “You’re a distinguished guest; how can you be compared to ordinary friends?”

After saying that, he turned to Ye Chen and asked, “Brother-in-law, may I ask where you booked your banquet?”

Ye Chen replied casually, “What a coincidence, I also booked at Tianxiangfu.”

“Hahaha!” Xiao Hailong laughed loudly, “Ye Chen, aren’t you afraid of boasting so much that you hurt yourself? With your status, you can’t even book the most basic bronze private room at Tianxiangfu, yet you dare to brag here.”

Ye Chen smiled indifferently and said, “Whether I’m bragging or not has nothing to do with you. I’m not inviting you to dinner, so why are you so concerned?”

Xiao Hailong coldly retorted, “Hmph, looking at you, I doubt you can even get through the door of Tianxiangfu!”

Seeing Ye Chen being targeted, Dong Ruolin felt a bit uncomfortable.

She knew Ye Chen was a son-in-law with no money or status in the Xiao family, and it wasn’t very realistic for him to host a banquet at a top hotel.

She guessed that Ye Chen was just trying to save face by saying that.

So, she didn’t want Ye Chen to feel too embarrassed and spoke up to ease the situation, “Oh, there’s no need to argue about this. Since we’re all booking the same place, why don’t we just go together?”

Xiao Hailong sarcastically said to Ye Chen, “Alright, for Ruolin’s sake, I’ll let you join me for a meal today, so you can see what a high-end hotel looks like!”

Ye Chen snorted and ignored him.

Seeing someone like Xiao Hailong, who would kneel before him, think his hotel was something special was just laughable!

Unfortunately, Xiao Hailong was just a fool who couldn’t see beyond his nose!

…

Tianxiangfu was a traditional Chinese hotel, decorated in a style rich with classical charm and extreme luxury; even the sign at the entrance was made of high-quality Huanghuali wood.

As Ye Chen looked at the decorations inside Tianxiangfu, he couldn’t help but be a bit surprised.

He didn’t expect Hong Wuzai’s restaurant to be quite nice; he could bring his wife here to try it out if he had the chance.

Dong Ruolin looked around and exclaimed, “I heard of Tianxiangfu’s great reputation when I was in Yanjing, and it truly lives up to its name.”

Xiao Hailong smiled and said, “Ruolin, since you’re here, of course, we have to treat you to the best restaurant.”

After saying that, he glanced at Ye Chen and sneered, “Unlike some people, if it weren’t for your connection, you probably wouldn’t have the chance to come to such a high-end restaurant in your lifetime.”

At this moment, Xiao Weiwei deliberately asked, “Ye Chen, didn’t you also book a private room at Tianxiangfu? Which one is it? Take us to see it!”

Ye Chen replied casually, “I can’t remember exactly which one; I just sent a text to the owner asking him to arrange it. Let me check my message history.”

Xiao Hailong scoffed, “Do you even know who the owner here is? Talking big here, the owner is the famous Hong Wuzai. Be careful; if he hears you, he might just kill you with a finger.”

At this time, Ye Chen opened his phone to check the message Hong Wuzai had sent him last night and said calmly, “He said he reserved the diamond private room for me.”

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, Xiao Hailong immediately burst into laughter, “Hahaha… a diamond private room? Ye Chen, you must be joking! Do you know who can go to a diamond private room? There are no more than ten people in the entire Jinling who are qualified to enter a diamond private room! What do you count as?”

Dong Ruolin had been silent but couldn’t help but think that Ye Chen was too obsessed with saving face. With his status, how could he possibly get a diamond private room? She had previously thought he was just a poor and powerless person, but now she realized he was such a vain person.

What a disappointment!

Ye Chen smiled without saying a word. In his eyes, those who mocked him were all ignorant fools, but he couldn’t be bothered to argue with them.

Wang Yunfei also mocked, “Ye Chen, even my dad isn’t qualified to eat in a diamond private room, and you dare to brag!”

Xiao Weiwei chimed in, “Feige, people like him can’t even qualify to eat the leftovers from a diamond private room!”

Ye Chen looked at Wang Yunfei and couldn’t help but sneer.

You fool, didn’t you hear that Hong Wuzai just knocked your brother out yesterday? You still dare to come to his restaurant to eat?

So he deliberately asked, “Brother Yunfei, I heard your brother had some trouble yesterday?”

Wang Yunfei frowned, “How do you know?”

After that, Wang Yunfei continued, “My brother was attacked yesterday and is still unconscious. We’re investigating who hurt him, and we’ll skin them alive! Do you have any clues?”

Ye Chen shook his head and pretended to be clueless, “I don’t know; I just heard he had an accident. I don’t know the specifics.”

“Hmph!” Wang Yunfei said disdainfully, “You waste of space, don’t talk about my Wang family’s matters behind my back. Next time, be careful; I won’t be polite to you!”

Ye Chen smiled and didn’t respond.

Indeed, fools are all in the same family!

They didn’t even know that his brother was knocked out by Hong Wuzai? How interesting.

At that moment, a man dressed in black approached the group directly.

Ye Chen found him somewhat familiar and then remembered he was one of the bodyguards beside Hong Wuzai.

The man recognized Ye Chen and was eager to please, almost bowing to greet him immediately.

Ye Chen quickly shook his head at him.

The man hurriedly stopped, thinking that Mr. Ye probably didn’t like being too high-profile, so he directly said, “Dear guests, please follow me. The private room has been prepared for a while.”

Xiao Hailong was taken aback upon hearing this. When did the golden private room service at Tianxiangfu become so attentive? He hadn’t even given his name, and someone came to greet them personally.

What a face-saving moment!

Wang Yunfei beside him sighed, “Hailong, you really have a lot of face. I think he seems to be someone from Wuzai’s side. It looks like Wuzai values you highly. Do you know him? I haven’t heard you mention it; you’re really low-key!”

Xiao Hailong laughed heartily, proudly saying, “There’s no need to show off about such things; it’s better to keep a low profile! Hahahaha!”
