At that moment, the waiter pushed the dining cart and was about to serve the first round of hot dishes. However, he was stunned when he entered. Although the room wasn't in a mess, it wasn't lively either.
The Yu family was gone, leaving only the three of them in the huge room. A chair was on the floor, and the male lead of the day was sitting there dejectedly. He seemed to be … crying?
The waiter didn't say anything and pretended to know nothing as he placed the dishes on the table.
Pan Yunfeng suddenly thought of something and said, "Have you finished the rest? If not, you can leave. "
The waiter was stunned and replied, "Some of it hasn't been done, but some of it has been cooked."
"Then what should we do? We don't plan to eat. Even if you serve the dishes, we won't pay. We're leaving now. Look at the dishes on the table. We haven't touched them yet. Just return them. "Pan Yunfeng pointed at the cold dishes that had been served and the hot dishes that had just been served.
She mumbled, "Their family is too irresponsible. The bride is supposed to pay for the engagement banquet, but now they just left and left a table full of dishes. Who's going to pay the bill? No wonder Yu Zi is like that. This kind of irresponsibility is in the family. "
The waiter didn't understand much, but she understood the part about paying the bill. She said, "Because the engagement banquet was a set meal, the bill was paid early in the morning."
Pan Yunfeng was stunned. She looked over in surprise, and her whole face lit up. "Really?! Why didn't you say so earlier?! "
The waiter thought to herself, How would she know what they were thinking? Why did she say that?
However, she still asked politely, "Then the dishes that haven't been cooked …"
"If we don't want them, will you give us a refund?" Pan Yunfeng asked.
"I'm sorry, but the set meal is not refundable," the waiter said politely.
"I see." Actually, they weren't the ones paying anyway, so Pan Yunfeng didn't feel bad about it. She said, "Then we won't refund it. When it's all served, come and pack it up for us. "
Then, she said to Yue Xingan, "Let's eat first. These dishes are enough for us. When the rest is served, we can pack it up and take it away. We probably won't need to cook for a few days. "
Then, she said to Yue Jingchen, who was still sitting on the chair and covering his face, "Don't be sad. Don't worry. How could a grown man cry like that? That Yu Zi was just throwing a tantrum. That's why I'm not optimistic about you guys. She's a rich young lady and has been spoiled rotten by her family. She's so willful. Look at today's solemn and important engagement, yet she said she wouldn't get engaged. In the future, when they get married, who knows if she won't do it at the wedding again? It's better to see her true colors earlier. "
"What is her true face?!" Yue Jingchen stood up quickly and looked at Pan Yunfeng with reddened eyes. "She has always been patient and didn't make any mistakes. Why can't you be satisfied?"
"You … Good! Good! Good! How dare you talk to your mother like that for a woman! I suffered so much to give birth to you, but in the end, I'm not even as good as an outsider! You haven't even married her yet, but you're already leaning towards her. When she really marries you, will there still be a place for me? " Pan Yunfeng slapped her thighs and suddenly wailed. "I'm just an old woman. I'm going to be bullied to death by my daughter-in-law in the future!"
"Don't say anymore. I'm begging you. Don't say anymore!" Yue Jingchen said painfully.
Pan Yunfeng pursed her lips and held it in for a long time before saying, "Alright, don't blame me. If that Yu Zi really likes you so much, you can just go and coax her. We've been together for so many years. I don't believe she'll break it off just like that. If that's really the case, it's better for such a heartless woman to break it off as soon as possible. "
After Pan Yunfeng finished speaking, she sat down with Yue Xingan and ate. She didn't seem to be affected at all.
However, as she ate, she continued to curse and scold the Yu family. She scolded all four members of the Yu family, as if there wasn't a single good person in the family and everyone was bullying them.
Yue Jingchen couldn't bear to listen anymore. He wiped his face and left.
Yan Huaian purposely chose a seat where he could see the path from the room to the hall. There were three dishes in front of him, but he moved his chopsticks intermittently. His attention was clearly not on eating. He didn't lower his head. His gaze was fixed in the direction of the corridor. He subconsciously picked up food with his chopsticks, not even knowing which dish he was picking up.
Not long after, he saw the Yu family come out.
Yan Huaian almost thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him. How could they come out so early? Moreover, shouldn't the two families be together?
However, the Yu family's expressions didn't look good. Yu Zi's eyes were red as if she had been crying.
Yu Gesheng and Yuan Hejing's faces darkened. Yu Han protected her parents and younger sister with a cold expression.
No matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like they had a good chat with the Yue family.
Could it be that the chat didn't go well and the engagement didn't go through?
Yan Huaian's heart leaped with joy. His mind started to work.
As for Yu Zi's boyfriend, Yan Huaian had done a thorough investigation on him. He knew everything about him, his parents, and even his relatives.
Therefore, Yan Huaian knew better than Yu Zi what kind of people Yue Jingchen's parents were.
After a while, he saw the waiter push the dining cart to deliver the food. He called the manager over and whispered something in the manager's ear.
The manager was shocked for a second. He immediately hid his expression and solemnly expressed that he understood. Then he left.
Yan Huaian's gaze followed Yu Zi until she was out of his sight.
At this time, the waiter who had delivered the food earlier walked over with the manager.
"Director Yan, Little Yu is the waiter who delivered the food to Ting Lan Hall just now," the manager said. Then he instructed Little Yu, "Tell him everything Director Yan asks."
"Yes." Little Yu nodded quickly and looked at Yan Huaian.
Even though he didn't have any improper thoughts about Yan Huaian, he still felt a little embarrassed facing him.
"What happened in that room just now? Why do I think it looked like they parted on bad terms? "Yan Huaian asked, appearing rather calm.
Little Yu couldn't help but ponder. What did Director Yan mean? Was he evaluating the service quality of Sheng Yue's waiters? Or was he suspecting that their service wasn't good enough to make the guests unhappy?
"I'm not sure. When I went in just now, there were only three people left in the room. Yu Dazhuang and his family were no longer there. There was also a chair in the room that had fallen to the ground. "The waiter recalled." It was the seat that the madam was originally sitting in. When I went in, the three of them weren't in their original positions. They were all standing. "
Yu Gesheng's name was known throughout the country. He often went to Sheng Yue. Most of the time, it was the celebrities, politicians, and businessmen who would discuss legal matters with him or treat him to a meal when they won a case. Thus, the waiters in these high-end places were no strangers to Yu Gesheng.
Then, Little Yu told Yan Huaian everything that Pan Yunfeng had said.
Yan Huaian raised his brows and let the manager and Little Yu leave.
Not long after they left, they saw Yue Jingchen rush out of the restaurant with bloodshot eyes.
Seeing this, Yan Huaian was certain that Yu Zi and Yue Jingchen's engagement wasn't going to happen.
Since it wasn't going to happen this time, he wouldn't give them another chance.
He looked away in a good mood. This time, he could finally focus on eating. He had a good appetite, and his expression was cheerful the whole time.
The manager had been secretly observing Yan Huaian's reaction. After all, he was his boss, and he couldn't make him unhappy here.
Seeing that Yan Huaian was enjoying his meal, a voice came from the side. "Looks like CEO Yan is quite satisfied with the taste of our food."
The manager was shocked. He turned around and saw that the head chef of the restaurant had come over. He was squinting at Yan Huaian eating in the distance with a look of relief on his face.
But in the manager's eyes, it looked a little wretched.
"If you weren't in the kitchen, those guys would have dropped the ball again," the manager said.
"I just came out for a smoke." The head chef twisted his neck. "Who knew I would see the boss? Fine, I don't dare to smoke anymore. I'm going back to work."
Yan Huaian couldn't be bothered with why Yue Xingan and Pan Yunfeng hadn't come out yet. He called his assistant, Liu Jiamu. "What's the result of the house investigation I asked you to do?"
Yu Zi got into the car with her parents. Yu Han sat in the front seat while Yu Gesheng sat in the front passenger seat, leaving the back seat for the mother and daughter.
Yuan Hejing carefully took out tissues from her bag and passed them to Yu Zi one by one.
The emotions that Yu Zi had been holding back were finally released in front of her parents.
She covered her face and cried loudly. She bent over and pressed her upper body against her thighs. She cried so hard that she didn't look like a normal person. She was really bawling her eyes out.
She wasn't sad?
How could that be?
After all, they had been together for so many years. She and Yue Jingchen weren't just lovers. They were like family.
Over the years, she had gotten used to his company and his good temper.
She wasn't completely unruly. She would throw a tantrum at her boyfriend. Sometimes, she would even be unreasonable. Every time, it was Yue Jingchen who patiently comforted her or let her vent. He clearly didn't do anything wrong, but he would still rack his brains to apologize to her, plead for forgiveness, and come up with all sorts of tricks.
Ever since they had been together for so many years, she had never thought that she would marry someone else. She had long believed that the two of them would definitely get married.
When Yue Jingchen proposed to her, it wasn't romantic, but his words were very simple.
He didn't have money. He couldn't even afford a ring. But she still agreed. She wanted to start a family with him. She didn't care about those things. She even thought that it wouldn't matter if she bought them herself.
In their memories, there were arguments, but most of them were sweet.
Yu Zi wailed. In her mind, Yue Jingchen kept coming up with all sorts of tricks to make her happy. His funny expressions, the surprise that didn't cost much but was full of sincerity. It was a little clumsy, a little simple, and a little cute.
