Chapter 338

Tong Xuelu had a smile on her. “Thank you. I think he is very nice as well.”

Wen Rugui was not a sweet talker. He was innocent and blushed a lot. Nevertheless, she felt that he is trustworthy.Meng Qingqing and the others were surprised at her response.At this day and age, most people would say things like “oh, stop it, he’s not that nice”, or “he’s actually quite stupid” or a host of other made up stuff when they or their family were praised.It was their first time seeing someone who’d straight up said that their boyfriend was very nice.Oddly enough, they did not feel that she was doing anything wrong. In fact, it felt natural and nice.As for why it was nice, they couldn’t quite put their fingers on it.***Tong Xuelu was happy all day long because Wen Rugui was back.Low and behold, someone came to ruin her mood like chicken poop.That night, a few uninvited guests showed up and the person leading the way was none other than Cai Chunlan.As soon as Cai Chunlan had arrived, she said loudly and righteously, “Xuelu, I’ve brought my family with me. Get us two tables!”She was about to walk straight into the restaurant as she talked.Those who were in line outside were disgruntled right away.“Hey! Who are you, lady! You need to stand in line!”“Exactly! You can’t just cut the line like this. Get back and get in line!”Cai Chunlan stood there with her hand on her hip. “I am the sister-in-law of the manager of this restaurant. I don’t need to stand in line to dine here!”When the others heard that, the clamoring died down some.But not everyone was alright with that.“So what you are the sister-in-law of the manager. The sister-in-law of the manager needs to stand in line too!”“Exactly. If anyone can cut in front of the line, I will never visit this restaurant again!”“Me neither!”Cai Chunlan’s husband thrusted his chest and stuck his lips out. “Do I care if you will come back here or not? I don’t need to stand in line. Tong Xuelu was adopted by my family. If it wasn’t for us, she would have been sold by kidnappers a long time ago! So what if she treat us to one meal!”Tong Xuelu watched the whole drama unfolded expressionlessly.She waited until they were done talk before she said coldly, “Big Sister Chunyu, have these people thrown out of here. If they dare to lift a finger, call the cops immediately!“This woman, Cai Chunlan, worked at the police station. As someone who is supposed to be serving the public, all she could think of was to take advantage of the government. I sure would like to see how the police station would handle someone like her!”Those standing in line applause.“Well said, Manager Tong!”“I knew Manager Tong isn’t the kind of person who’d play favoritism!”“I agree. Not only is Manager Tong a great chef, and she is a very fair person. I will keep patronizing here!”“Me too!”Different people were happy for different reasons and Cai Chunlan’s face turned beet red.She turned and stared at Tong Xuelu like a frog with bulging eyes. “Tong Xuelu, you are an ungrateful, white-eyed wolf. The Tong family had raised you for so many years. Never mind that you have not repaid us, all I am asking for is one meal. And yet you turned me down? Have you no conscience?”Tong Xuelu snickered. “What does the Tong’s raising me for so many years have to do with you? Is your surname Tong? Have you ever spent a penny on me?“Besides, whilst the Tong family had raised me, my family had raised their daughter too. I’d say we are even. So don’t come telling me how much I owe the Tong’s. Even if I do owe them, you, as the wife you married into the family, has no skin in this game!”Right at this moment, a bicycle pulled up in front of the restaurant.
