Obsessive Tycoon and His Swan Girl
Chapter 182 - 182 182 Drive Them Out

Chapter 182: Chapter 182: Drive Them Out! Chapter 182: Chapter 182: Drive Them Out! “We also made reservations. Is this how your restaurant treats its guests?” Liang Jinlan hadn’t expected the security guard’s remark to be directed at her.

“We do not welcome guests like you! Please leave immediately or don’t blame us for taking action.” The security guard, clearly the leader, was very impolite.

The other guards, in pairs, took hold of Jiang Zhang, Jiang Fanyue, and Gu Jiaheng.

The situation made it clear that if Liang Jinlan continued to resist, they would take action immediately.

Liang Jinlan had never been so humiliated, and she said loudly, “I want to speak to your manager to file a complaint!”

“Then you can file your complaint after you leave,” said the guard, about to take action.

If it weren’t for orders to be mindful of Jiang Yunxuan, the young master present, and not to be too harsh, they wouldn’t have been this “polite” in escorting Jiang Zhang’s family out.

Fearing a scene would make them look bad, Gu Jiaheng had no choice but to say, “Fine, we will leave on our own. There’s no need for you to intervene.”

With no option left, they had to exit the private room and head downstairs.

The security guards followed behind them. Although they didn’t lay hands on them again or use foul language, their presence still turned the heads of other diners.

“Jinlan?” Cheng Lu saw them and couldn’t help but greet.

Liang Jinlan also saw Cheng Lu and hadn’t expected to run into her in such a narrow passage.

Her face was very uncomfortable.

Cheng Lu looked at the guards following them with curiosity and said, “So you were dining here tonight. I thought you had gone back.”

Liang Jinlan had lied about going back to Jincheng to avoid any association with Cheng Lu, and encountering her today was akin to being caught red-handed, a flicker of embarrassment crossing her face.

“What is this about…?” Cheng Lu asked.

“It’s nothing, we just came to see some friends spontaneously,” Liang Jinlan was already very angry, and now having to deal with Cheng Lu, her tone was inevitably a bit harsh.

“Do you need any help?”

Cheng Lu’s question wasn’t ill-intended, but to Liang Jinlan’s ears, it sounded like full-blown mockery.

She snorted, “No need, Fanyue, let’s go.”

Seeing her angry and ungrateful demeanor, Cheng Lu could only shake her head and drop it.

However, seeing this in the restaurant today made it clear to her that Liang Jinlan was unwilling to associate with her, so much so that there wasn’t even the courtesy of sharing a meal together anymore.

This friendship had reached its conclusion.

Cheng Lu turned and went to another private room to meet her friends.

Liang Jinlan and the others had to walk out of the restaurant extremely humiliated.

“You’re no longer welcome here.” The door shut in front of Liang Jinlan.

They were extremely shocked. Where did Jiang Zhe get such clout!

Jiang Zhe actually dared to treat them like this!

This also meant that the celebration tonight was ruined, and all the plans to meet the VIPs were disrupted!

Han Jiayan got out of the car and was very surprised to see such a scene.

Liang Jinlan exaggerated the story: “Jiang Zhe, she’s getting increasingly out of line! Just because Fanyue got a ranking in the preliminaries once, she couldn’t sit still anymore! Not to mention who she’s been cozying up with… ”

Han Jiayan listened with a frown.

Gu Jiaheng also pondered. How could Jiang Zhe possibly have the power to command the security staff of this restaurant?

There must be some unspeakable relationship between her and some powerful figure for this to happen.

Every time he thought about her disgraceful behavior, Gu Jiaheng’s frown deepened continuously.

Jiang Yunxuan interrupted the two families and said, “Mom, it was Second Sister’s fault in the first place. This private room was booked by Sister, and Second Sister came uninvited. She bumped into that classmate’s glass by herself, wasn’t that her own mistake? Why does everyone have to think it’s Sister’s fault?”

“You, quiet down a bit!” Liang Jinlan scolded.

“I insist on speaking! You barged into the private room Sister booked, which was already very wrong, to bump into the child and knock over the water was even more your fault. Then you still wanted Sister to give the private room to you, isn’t this an utterly unreasonable demand? It’s obviously your fault, yet you’re blaming everything on Sister! I think the security here is clear about what’s right, they certainly wouldn’t do the same thing as you!”

Jiang Yunxuan had been there the whole time, watching as an observer, he knew too well how things had transpired.

He wouldn’t, like them, think everything was Jiang Zhe’s fault, but simply spoke the truth about what he saw.

Liang Jinlan’s face flushed with embarrassment.

Jiang Zhang also started to realize that Jiang Zhe indeed hadn’t done anything throughout the entire event, so why was everything blamed on Jiang Zhe?

Jiang Fanyue said softly, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have gone to the private room. I was just going to negotiate for a different one, I didn’t expect such a thing to happen.”

Her softness and sensibility calmed everyone down.

Feeling sorry for her, Gu Jiaheng said, “Quick, think of a way to make up for it, see if it’s still possible.”

“Let’s go, get in the car,” Liang Jinlan said urgently.

Jiang Yunxuan looked back in the direction of Jiang Zhe. They were far apart, and he couldn’t see her clearly; he was forcefully pushed into the car by Liang Jinlan.

…

Once the Jiang family left, the head of security came over to apologize to Jiang Zhe, “Miss Jiang, I’m really sorry. Today, such people have spoiled your enjoyment. The chairman is not in the country, and specifically instructed me to come here to apologize to you. This bill will be on us.”

“Understood,” Jiang Zhe said, not wanting to elaborate.

Seeing that she didn’t wish to be disturbed, the head of security had the waitstaff clean up once more and then left the room.

The world around Jiang Zhe finally quieted down.

“I’m so sorry, Sister Xiaozhe,” Xiaoqi still felt very guilty.

“Don’t apologize for things you didn’t do wrong. Understand?” Jiang Zhe said.

Xiaoqi paused to think before responding, “Mm.”

Jiang Zhe knew that their living environment had conditioned them to be overly cautious. Whenever anything happened, their first instinct was to apologize.

Against people like the Jiang family, would apologies be of any use?

“It’s my fault. I didn’t close the door properly, which let them in,” Xun Yining said softly.

Jiang Zhe passed the chewing gum to them, signaling them to each eat two pieces.

She put the gum box away and said, “Being kind is not wrong, but there’s no need for that with them. From now on, don’t apologize so readily when things happen.”

Xiaoqi and Fang Ting both firmly remembered her words.

“What happened here?” Fen Ye was the first to push the door open and enter. “Why is it such a mess? What are the waiters doing?”

“Some flies came in just now, I had people clean up again,” Jiang Zhe said.

“Flies, huh? Well, they certainly need to be taken care of,” Fen Ye had actually seen the few ‘flies’ downstairs already.

So he ran up before Qin Jingchen and the others to see what was going on.

After he spoke, Qin Jingchen, Qin Hai, and Qin He entered the room.

Qin Jingchen scanned the room and then withdrew his gaze, “Is everything handled already?”
