Chapter 52 (2/2)
“Cough, uhm… where is the toilet?”
“Over there, let me lead you there.” The restaurant manager who usually held a stern face was really accommodative at this moment.
Ruan Mengmeng pitied him and so, did not refuse his sincere service.
While she was following the restaurant manager and right as they reached the turning point of the corridor, she saw two familiar figures came out from the toilet.
One was a middle-aged woman, who was holding onto an old woman.
Ruan Mengmeng recognized the middle-aged woman, who was Li Ping, Qin Fang’s sister in law.
The old woman who was held by Li Ping, was Qin Fang’s mother, Madam Qin.
Madam Qin had originally lived in Ruan’s house but was chased by Ruan Shishi to Lin City because her hands and feet were not clean1.
Now that Ruan Shishi has died and Qin Fang had given birth to a son, she was brought in again.
Madam Qin and Li Ping did not see Ruan Mengmeng and were chatting happily.
“Mom, isn’t this place nice? When we get back, let’s tell Qin Fang to have your birthday party here. Such a high-class place, the former neighbors would be envious when they see it.”
“But the menu here, I’ve looked at it … It’s so expensive…”
“So what if it’s expensive? The Ruan family is paying anyway. Our Qin Fang gave the Ruan family a little golden grandson and now the Ruan family would do whatever she says.”
Li Ping urged Madam Qin with all her might.
“Furthermore, Ruan Zhaotian is your son-in-law. He said in person that he would give you a beautiful sixtieth birthday. If you choose an ordinary restaurant, it would lower your son-in-law’s face!”
“Yes, yes, you’re right. My son-in-law is filial to me and I should give my son-in-law a chance to express it…”
The two spoke more and more exuberantly as if they are already at Madam Qin’s sixtieth birthday and the envious eyes when friends and relatives attended the birthday feast.
Unbeknownst to them, just as they took two steps forward, they suddenly felt a cold wind. Quickly, Li Ping was flipped onto the ground by a slap across the face.
“I won’t let you waste my father’s money! I have never even been to such an expensive place like this and you dare to encourage your mother to have a celebration here!”
