Chapter 218: Chapter 219 A Surprise and A Scare 19

"Mom, let it go." Yi held her mom’s arm, still trying to persuade her.

Shaohua brought their family here for lunch, but they arrived late and all the good seats were reserved.

Mom saw a seat by the window on the second floor that she really liked, but unfortunately, it was reserved by someone else.

Mom had a stubborn and domineering personality; no matter what the manager said, she wouldn’t listen.

"Mrs. Song, the gentleman is not coming, so you can now sit at that table," the manager responded with a smile.

"Slap~"

"Are you messing with me?! No one reserved that table, you just don’t want to give it to me!" Mom Song raised her hand and slapped the manager in the face, furious that a mere manager dared to mess with her.

"Mom, what are you doing!" Yi hurriedly grabbed her mom’s hand to prevent her from hitting again.

"Mrs. Song, I’m not messing with you. That gentleman just left," the manager covered his face and explained patiently.

The waitstaff nearby saw the manager being hit and wanted to help but feared losing their job.

This Mrs. Song was acquainted with President Huo, and they couldn’t afford to offend her.

Suddenly, someone got a bright idea and immediately ran out.

"I’m very sorry; my mom is just a bit impatient!" Yi quickly apologized to the manager, worried that the situation would escalate.

"What are you apologizing for? It’s his fault for not giving us that table." Mom Song scolded Yi, thinking her daughter was useless.

"Mrs. Song, the table was indeed reserved. That gentleman knows President Huo, so he gave up the table for you."

"What a joke, do we need him to give up a table for us? What’s his name? I want to see who he is!"

"..." The manager hesitated, unsure whether to mention Young Master Xi’s name.

"I reserved that table. I gave it up because I heard my cousin wanted to sit there." Hu Yuxi’s voice arrived before he did, slowly walking in and standing beside the manager.

"Hu Yuxi." Yi was stunned, not expecting that he had reserved the table.

"Oh, it’s Yuxi. Auntie didn’t know it was you who reserved it; I’m really sorry." Mom Song immediately changed her expression, apologizing to Hu Yuxi with a smile.

"What are you doing here?" Huo Shaohua walked over quickly, surprised to see Hu Yuxi.

"Cousin, what a coincidence." Hu Yuxi raised an eyebrow and smiled, a trace of cunning flashing in his eyes.

"Shaohua..." Yi frowned and called softly, feeling she’d embarrassed him today.

"Shaohua, I didn’t know it was Yuxi who reserved the table. I’m really sorry." Mom Song immediately explained to Huo Shaohua, unable to believe Hu Yuxi was the one who reserved the table.

This was embarrassing.

"Cousin, as the president of Huo Group, letting your family members hit people here isn’t good for the company’s reputation, is it?" Hu Yuxi looked at Mom Song with a raised eyebrow. This old woman was really annoying.

With a look of someone who relies on others’ power, taking advantage of Yi being his cousin’s girlfriend, she freely hits people here.

"Family member? You’re my family member, aren’t you? How come you’re the one hitting people here? Aren’t you afraid Second Master will punish you?" Huo Shaohua raised an eyebrow, feigning astonishment at Hu Yuxi’s words.

His words clearly denied that Mrs. Song was a family member of the Huo Family.

"Dare not hit anyone; our family has strict rules." Hu Yuxi smiled proudly.

"Our Huo Family has rules; we don’t hit people irrationally outside. You know that too, right, Yi?" Huo Shaohua smirked coldly at Yi, turning his head and speaking to her.

He had tolerated Mom Song for quite a while; it was just a seat, after all.

She insisted on making a big deal out of it. He loved Yi, but he wouldn’t condone anyone using his name to cause trouble.
