Chapter 217: Chapter 218 A Surprise and A Scare 18

"Are you feeling unwell? Your complexion looks a bit off." Huo Shaohua frowned and asked worriedly.

"I’m fine."

"Did my phone ring? Why is Auntie holding it?" Huo Shaohua raised his phone and asked, his sharp gaze fixed on the mother and daughter.

He wanted to see how they would explain. He despised people touching his things without permission.

"Yes, the phone rang just now." Mom Song answered guiltily, forcing a calm smile.

"Let me see who called." Huo Shaohua said, opening his phone.

Song Yi immediately stepped forward and grabbed his hand, acting coyly, "Shaohua, let’s go out. I’m hungry."

If he saw there were no incoming calls, he’d know Mom lied.

He’d definitely get angry; she knew his temper well from being together for so many years.

"Okay." Huo Shaohua put his phone back into his pants pocket, no longer looking at it.

"Let’s go. We haven’t returned to the country for a long time. This time we must play around." Mom Song sighed in relief; that was close.

Song Yi turned pale with fright; she was terrible at handling such situations.

It was really terrifying!

The mother and daughter exchanged a glance, secretly relieved that he didn’t check the phone.

Hu Yuxi and Tian Xingyun had been shopping for a long time, buying many baby essentials.

Soon it was lunchtime, Hu Yuxi brought her to the restaurant he had reserved.

Walking into the restaurant, they heard the sound of arguing. Hu Yuxi walked towards the reception desk with Tian Xingyun following behind.

The environment of this restaurant was really good, cool and comfortable as they walked in.

The decor wasn’t as luxurious as other restaurants, modest yet with a touch of elegance, perfectly balanced.

"I reserved a table, under the name Hu." Hu Yuxi said to the receptionist. He had reserved the table in the morning but wasn’t sure on which floor.

"Mr. Hu, please wait a moment!" After checking the reservation, the receptionist’s face changed, and she hurried away to call the manager.

Hu Yuxi and Tian Xingyun exchanged confused looks, not understanding what was going on.

The manager came over and immediately apologized to Hu Yuxi, "Young Master Xi, I’m terribly sorry!"

"What’s going on?" Hu Yuxi was taken aback.

"We reserved the best table for you, but..."

"But what?"

"President Huo just arrived with some guests. One of the ladies insisted on sitting at your table, and despite our attempts to explain, she wouldn’t listen!" The manager explained to Hu Yuxi, troubled by the unreasonable lady.

"My cousin?" Hu Yuxi raised an eyebrow. Who else could President Huo be but his cousin?

"Yes."

Hu Yuxi raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Tian Xingyun. This was such a coincidence!

Could it be that there was an interesting show to watch?

"Let’s go to another restaurant." Tian Xingyun frowned, feeling inexplicably anxious. How could they encounter him here?

He shouldn’t see her here, otherwise, he’d get angry and think she appeared on purpose.

"Okay." Hu Yuxi nodded, understanding what she was thinking.

"Young Master Xi, I’m truly sorry!"

"It’s fine, I’ll come back another time."

"Thank you, Young Master Xi." The manager bowed gratefully to Hu Yuxi. If Young Master Xi were as unreasonable as that lady, she might lose her job.

Mom Song walked angrily towards the manager, while Song Yi pulled her from the side.

"Mom, can’t we change to another table?"

"I want that table. Let’s see what they can do to stop me!" Mom Song snapped angrily.

The manager saw Mom Song approaching and felt extremely troubled.

She forced a smile and greeted them politely, "Miss Song, Mrs. Song."

"Have the people who reserved that table arrived? I’ll talk to them personally!" Mom Song said arrogantly, displaying a contemptuous attitude.
