The Central Hotel was located right in the heart of the commercial street. It wasn't far from where the three of them had been, so they made their way there with Yan Ke'er tugging on Chai Yanyu while Yuan Meng followed behind them.
"Hello, are there three of you?" Yuan Meng nodded, ignoring the two who were still bickering as they walked.
"Alright, three guests, this way please."
"Hello, here's the menu..." Just as the waiter was about to introduce how to order, Yan Ke'er interrupted her.
"Don't bother. Just serve all your most expensive dishes. Fill up the table!"
"Hey, woman! Do you know how expensive this hotel is? I..."
"Oh, Young Master Chai. Weren't you so confident just now, saying you'd treat and let us order whatever we wanted? Now you're backing out? That's fine. In that case, I don't think much of your family. You might as well let Sister Mengmeng divorce your cousin soon!" Yan Ke'er glared at Chai Yanyu. "Just serve the dishes as I said. This gentleman will pay. Humph!"
"Yuan Meng, control her. I..."
"Yanyu... Ke'er's family isn't as wealthy as the Ling family. It's her first time at the Central Hotel... Maybe she ordered a bit too much. Don't take it to heart. Thank you." As she said this, Yuan Meng gave Chai Yanyu a shy smile, which almost made him spit out a mouthful of blood.
At this moment, Yuan Meng was inwardly cheering. She really hadn't doted on Yan Ke'er in vain. The girl had the same idea as her. She had originally planned to swindle Chai Yanyu into a pricey meal. Before she could even bring up the topic, Yan Ke'er had quickly accomplished the task!
From now on, she wouldn't have to worry about how to get revenge on people while maintaining her persona when going out. She could just send out her warrior Yan Ke'er. At this moment, a little Yuan Meng appeared in her mind. The little Yuan Meng was holding two chess pieces and dancing happily. As she danced, she kept muttering, "Ke'er is the best!!!"
Chai Yanyu was still deeply immersed in the sorrow of about to spend a huge sum of money.
"Hello, guests. This is a pot of premium Longjing tea you ordered. Please enjoy."
Chai Yanyu looked at the sky-high priced premium Longjing tea, poured a small cup and gulped it down. "Alas... When I was a kid, I often wanted to go play with my cousin, but my cousin..."
"Hey, Sister Mengmeng, how long will this variety show last? Oh, right. I got the contact information of the other artists' assistants last time. Should I contact them in advance to gather some information..."
Just as Chai Yanyu was about to start promoting Ling Qianchen to Yuan Meng, Yan Ke'er interrupted him. She started chatting with Yuan Meng about work on her own, preventing Yuan Meng from listening to Chai Yanyu.
After all, in Yan Ke'er's mind, Yuan Meng had always been a kind and innocent girl. If Chai Yanyu said a few more words and Yuan Meng was convinced, and then got caught up in the sweet talk of his cousin and didn't want to divorce, what could she do? Yan Ke'er would never allow such a thing to happen.
Her Sister Mengmeng was so kind and wonderful. She mustn't be deceived by such a scumbag!
"Hello, customers. Here are the dishes you ordered." Soon, a group of waiters came over with plates to serve them. The service in this big hotel was really extraordinary. Not only was the service fast, but it was also very grand. Since they had spent a lot of money, the scene of the dishes being served was especially spectacular, making all the customers in the hall look at them as if they were some upstarts.
"Sister Mengmeng! This is so delicious. Try it."
After the dishes were served, Yan Ke'er launched her second attack. She used the food to distract Yuan Meng's attention, making Yuan Meng completely ignore the third person at the table, and of course, she couldn't hear what Chai Yanyu was saying.
Chai Yanyu glared at Yan Ke'er fiercely. He also understood in his heart that no matter what he said, Yuan Meng wouldn't be swayed. After all, in her heart, it was still Ai Yue. But he just got angry when he saw Yan Ke'er targeting him. Today, he was determined to say what he wanted to say!
"Don't just eat, you two. Listen to me. When I was a kid, every time I went to play with my cousin, he ignored me. We were of the same age, but he was always more mature than others. While others were playing handkerchief games, he was reciting poems. While others were reciting poems, he was solving equations. While others were solving equations, he was doing trigonometric functions. He was always like a god in others' eyes. The most important thing is that this god is also very handsome. Can you imagine that? It's a pity that my cousin has only one flaw. There are very few women around him. He only has eyes for my sister-in-law. He misses her day and night, forgets to eat and sleep. Wuwuwuwu. My cousin is so pitiful. Sister-in-law, you can't leave him!"
"Sister Mengmeng, don't pay attention to him. Hey, Sister Mengmeng, do you think we'll get to eat delicious Tujia cuisine in this variety show? I heard it's really delicious. Hey, Sister Mengmeng, try this. Wow, have a sip of tea with it. They go so well together. Wow, Sister Mengmeng, look at that plating. It's so beautiful. No wonder it's a big hotel. You get what you pay for! Sister Mengmeng..."
The two of them were babbling in Yuan Meng's ears on their own. Yuan Meng felt like her head was about to explode. She was so annoyed by them that she wanted to bang her head against the wall. If sound could be visualized, there should be two phrases floating above Yuan Meng's head now: "Sister Mengmeng, look at this" and "My cousin really loves you, sister-in-law."
"Be quiet, both of you!" Yuan Meng couldn't bear it anymore and had to speak up to stop them.
"As the old saying goes, don't talk when eating or sleeping! You two are talking so much while eating. What if you have indigestion? Besides, the food is so delicious and expensive. You should eat more instead of just talking. I might eat it all by myself!"
After being scolded by Yuan Meng, Yan Ke'er and Chai Yanyu didn't dare to say a word. They just glared at each other with their eyes. If looks could kill, they would probably be in a showdown already.
"Why should he be the one to shut up while I talk! Make him shut up. At least what I'm saying is related to food. All he knows is to talk about his cousin!"
"Why should I shut up first? Are you being reasonable? Let me tell you, what you're saying about food is so shallow. Do you know how amazing my cousin is? There are so many people who are willing to pay just to hear his success story!"
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Yuan Meng quickly stopped them. "Please shut up. Please!!!"
Yuan Meng glared at Chai Yanyu fiercely, then picked up a piece of food and fed it into Yan Ke'er's mouth. Only then did they finally shut up.
"You two..." Yuan Meng had a splitting headache and couldn't help but rub her temples.
Seeing Yuan Meng like this, the two beside her suddenly became timid and didn't dare to say a word.
"You two don't seem to be convinced by each other! Then play rock-paper-scissors. The winner gets to be obeyed. One round decides it all!"
Yuan Meng thought that for these two extremely childish people, there was no better game than rock-paper-scissors to deal with them.
Yan Ke'er and Chai Yanyu were both stunned for a few seconds in tacit understanding. Then suddenly, they got excited. "Come on, one round decides it all!"
"Bring it on!"
Seeing this situation, Yuan Meng let out a sigh of relief. This rock-paper-scissors game was a good bet. There were supposed to be two adults beside her, but how come she felt like she was taking care of kids today... Poor Yuan Meng!
"Rock... paper... scissors!" The two shouted in unison. As soon as the words fell, they both showed their hands at the same time.
Chai Yanyu showed rock.
Yan Ke'er showed paper.
This round, little Miss Yan Ke'er won!
"Hahaha, Young Master Chai. On this dinner table, you finally have to submit to Queen Yan!"
Chai Yanyu turned his head away, not wanting to look at her. He was extremely depressed in his heart.
