Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 746: Chapter 745 Wanhu Manor

When Zhang Aiyun heard what Hu Yong said, he was also surprised, ”Lili’s boyfriend, inviting big sister for a meal? But isn’t Lili just in high school?”

”Yes, she has a boyfriend now, and big sister even approves of it, saying that his family is very wealthy,” Zhang Aiyun sighed, ”Big sister, she’s going to lead the child astray sooner or later.”

”This is just messing around, just starting high school, fifteen or sixteen years old, having a boyfriend is premature dating. Not only does she not discipline her, but it has even progressed to meeting the parents?” Hu Yong said angrily, ”Most importantly, she feels proud of it? What is there to be proud of? Is there something wrong with your big sister’s brain?”

”Don’t talk nonsense!” Zhang Aiyun scolded, ”Big sister is just being more realistic in her thinking, nothing else. Stop talking about my big sister, can we change the place tonight and not go to Wanhu Manor?”

”Why change places?” Hu Yong asked, ”If your big sister can go to Wanhu Manor, why can’t we? What kind of logic is that?”

”But, it’s not appropriate...” Zhang Aiyun said in a low voice, ”If we run into big sister there, she will definitely mock and ridicule us again, saying that we don’t have money but still go to such places, making a fool of ourselves. When that happens, with so many people looking on, that... that would be truly embarrassing...”

”Don’t worry, tonight, the ones who will be embarrassed won’t be us!” Hu Yong said confidently.

Zhang Aiyun was completely baffled and could not understand where Hu Yong’s confidence came from. But in the end, she couldn’t persuade Hu Yong, so she had to go to Wanhu Manor with him.

The so-called Wanhu Manor was a hotel on Lake Wanhu.

Lake Wanhu is the most important tourist attraction of Wanhu City, and development here is strictly prohibited. Naturally, a hotel that could open on Lake Wanhu would be extraordinary.

Wanhu Manor is also considered the most expensive hotel in the entire Wanhu City, where a table reservation would not be secure without a consumption of twenty or thirty thousand.

Zhang Aiyun had never been to Wanhu Manor before, but having lived in Wanhu City for so many years, she had heard a lot about it and knew that the expenses here were outrageously high. Su Yang inviting them to eat here was really surprising, as he didn’t seem like someone particularly wealthy!

Xiao Jie had no idea about these things, seeing the little pavilion on the surface of Lake Wanhu for the first time, he was so excited that he forgot everything else, running around the pavilion, cheering and jumping for joy.

Seeing Xiao Jie’s happiness, Hu Yong also beamed with joy. They had lived in Wanhu for a long time but had never even taken their son around the lake. Thinking about it now, it was quite sad.

However, thinking of Su Yang’s miraculous skills back at Lake Heart Island, Hu Yong felt much more at ease.

Hu Yong initially did not intend to ask Su Yang for help, believing that comradeship should not be mixed with such matters. But for his wife and child, he ultimately decided to seek Su Yang’s assistance.

To a man, pride is indeed important, but if it’s for his wife and children, pride can be sacrificed.

Even if people thought he was just a petty and opportunistic person, as long as his wife and children could live better, he didn’t care about other people’s opinions.

As the two approached the entrance of the pavilion, a waitress dressed in a cheongsam came out and smiled, ”Hello, sir, may I ask if you have a reservation?”

Hu Yong, who had never been in such a setting, was clearly out of his depth in the face of such a situation.

And Zhang Aiyun was even more nervous, gripping Hu Yong’s arm tightly, not daring to speak at all, her body trembling from time to time.

The quality of the waiter was quite good, and he smiled again and said, ”If you two have a reservation, you can report the reservation phone number or name, and I’ll check it for you.”

Hu Yong opened his mouth and mustered up his courage, ”Could you... could you check Su Yang...”

”Certainly.” The waiter smiled and nodded, took out the walkie-talkie and made an inquiry. Before long, there came a voice from the other side that left Hu Yong dumbfounded, ”No reservation.”

The waiter nodded, put down the walkie-talkie, and smiled, ”I’m sorry, sir, we can’t find Mister Su Yang’s reservation. Did you perhaps remember the time wrong? Our evening reservations will only show up in the evening. Could it be that he reserved for tomorrow, or another time?”

Hu Yong was completely baffled and turned to his wife, ”Did he mean this place?”

”I... I heard it was here, but maybe I heard it wrong?” Zhang Aiyun said embarrassingly, ”Why don’t we... why don’t we go back first? Maybe I made a mistake. It couldn’t possibly be here, this place is too expensive...”

Hu Yong scratched his head, completely puzzled. Had Su Yang misspoken, or had Zhang Aiyun misheard?

Just then, from behind, Xiao Jie suddenly shouted in surprise, ”Auntie!”

They both turned around to see a flamboyantly dressed Zhang Aiqin coming their way.

Xiao Jie, not knowing any better, immediately ran over but was pushed away by Zhang Aiqin.

”Don’t touch me, my outfit is very expensive!” Zhang Aiqin said disdainfully as she pushed Xiao Jie away, then glanced at Hu Yong and his wife with a frown, ”What are you two doing here? Lili’s boyfriend is just having dinner with me tonight, it’s not your turn to be brought along yet. Bringing so many people all at once, is that going to frighten him?”

With that, Zhang Aiqin gave Hu Yong a look, ”Besides, even if it was time for family to come, you wouldn’t qualify. Running over here in such a hurry, are you trying to embarrass the Zhang Family?”

Hu Yong’s face showed embarrassment as he said in a deep voice, ”We’re not here to mooch off your meal; it’s my comrade-in-arms who invited us for dinner!”

”Your comrade-in-arms?” Zhang Aiqin was firstly stunned, then burst out laughing, ”Which comrade? The one from noon? Invited you to dinner? Oh, he might know a thing or two about social decorum. But why would you come here to have that dinner? Don’t you have any idea what the costs are here? Is this a place you can afford?”

Zhang Aiyun too was embarrassed and quickly said, ”Big sister, Su Yang called over, it was me who picked up the phone, maybe I heard wrong, mistaking the place...”

”Even if you heard it wrong, you should at least have some logical thinking ability!” Zhang Aiqin sneered, ”Third sister, think about it, with his helpless state, how much money could his comrade possibly have? To run to Wanhu Manor and treat you to dinner? Isn’t that a joke?”

Zhang Aiyun lowered her head, not saying a word, only quietly holding her husband’s hand with a look full of apology toward Hu Yong.

Hu Yong shook his head at her and took a deep breath, ”Big sister, we won’t bother you any longer. Maybe we heard it wrong. I’ll go back and give him a call to confirm the place, you go ahead and get busy!”

”You shouldn’t have come here at all, making a spectacle of yourselves!” Zhang Aiqin said coldly. ”Do you all have pig brains? Can’t you think about it, that poor kid still running over here to invite you for dinner? Let me tell you this, if he could reserve a private booth here, I would call him ’Boss!’

Just as Zhang Aiqin’s words ended, Su Yang’s voice suddenly came from the side, ”Brother Yong, sister-in-law, you’ve arrived!”
