Chapter 228: Chapter 228 How Can Someone Be So ShamelessAs Chen Yun spoke, Zhang Tiande’s face also became thoroughly gloomy, creating an awkward atmosphere that made the waitstaff in the private room feel intensely uncomfortable. Things had already escalated to such an extent, why were they still eating together? Of course, these were thoughts they dared not voice, not to mention that Luu Zhichang, the manager of the Phoenix Restaurant, was still there. At this moment, Luu Zhichang also stood up with a smile, "Haha, we are all one family, let’s not hurt the harmony over an outsider like me. If that’s the case, I will take my leave." After Luu Zhichang finished speaking, he got up and left without any hesitation or delay. And with Luu Zhichang’s exit, although the atmosphere in the private room remained oppressive, it was somewhat more relaxed than before. At this point, Wang Bin stepped forward to smooth things over, "Alright, alright, Luu Zhichang has left, let’s hurry up and order. Zhang Yang will join Uncle Zhang for a couple of drinks later." Zhang Yang didn’t continue to push back hard; after all, Zhang Tiande was Xiao Man’s biological father and Chen Yun’s husband. Even just to save face for these two women, he couldn’t be bothered to stoop to Zhang Tiande’s level. However, Zhang Yang believed that after today, Zhang Tiande would definitely hold a grudge against him and even think of ways to break him and Xiao Man up. He really wanted to advise Zhang Tiande not to do so, as Zhang Yang had once asked Xiao Man a question, "If one day things between me and Zhang Tiande became irreconcilable, who would you choose?" At that time, Xiao Man had responded without hesitation, "Of course you, you fool. If it really comes to that, I’ll sever ties with Zhang Tiande. After all, in his eyes, I’m a daughter who’s expendable." If this were not the case, Zhang Yang wouldn’t have had the confidence to confront Zhang Tiande head-on just now. But even with this confidence, Zhang Yang still had to consider Xiao Man’s feelings; it wasn’t time for drastic measures yet. So, the best approach was for each to mind their own business and maintain surface-level civility. The truth was, it was Zhang Tiande who had overstepped his bounds today. At this moment, Zhang Yang generously said, "Uncle Zhang, it was all in jest earlier, don’t take it to heart. I wasn’t coming at you, I mean really, what’s the deal with an outsider suddenly joining a family meal?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Tiande still looked aggrieved and displeased. But after catching Chen Yun’s dissatisfied gaze, he reluctantly added, "Let’s order food and eat." Having said that, he began to look at the menu. There was a tablet at each setting on the table, displaying not only pictures of dishes but also descriptions of the ingredients and short videos of the cooking process. It allowed guests to clearly understand the value of each dish. Zhang Yang praised silently, whether you say it or not, the services at Phoenix Restaurant are very good, it’s just that the manager is quite disgusting. Did he really think Zhang Yang hadn’t noticed that sleazy glance? The jerk had left so eagerly just to keep them there, hadn’t he? Thus, Zhang Yang could assert that today, Luu Zhichang would certainly try to make a move on Xia Xue; otherwise, he wouldn’t have left earlier. The ridiculous thing was, Wang Bin was like an idiot, oblivious to someone coveting his wife. Following Wang Bin, Xia Xue would sooner or later be betrayed by him. What an idiot, Zhang Yang ranted internally. As for Luu Zhichang, if he dared to come, he would definitely teach him a lesson on how to behave. Zhang Yang casually ordered a couple of dishes that caught his interest, one being Yunnan mushrooms, two thousand! Though pricey, given the variety of the mushrooms and their freshness, the cost was still acceptable. Another dish was the scallion-braised sea cucumber, but the size of this sea cucumber was, frankly, a bit exaggerated. It was imported, and caught just this morning, so it was sold for eight thousand, and Zhang Yang actually found that reasonable.

Phoenix Restaurant was truly amazing, silently making you feel that the dishes ordered were all worth their value. The owner of Phoenix Restaurant was truly a talent, openly telling you the dishes were expensive, but also clearly explaining why they were expensive. Xia Xue was sitting next to Zhang Yang and, after seeing the dishes he ordered, she also gave it a thumbs-up, "Not bad, one mountain delicacy and one seafood delicacy. You really know how to order." Upon hearing this, Zhang Yang also became curious about what Xia Xue had ordered, only to find that she had merely ordered two desserts, costing one thousand yuan. "Cousin, are you... trying to save me money?" "Hehe, no, I can eat anything. Since someone else will order a lot, let’s not waste any food," Xia Xue said, glancing towards Wang Bin. By coincidence, Chen Yun shared the same thought, so she simply did not order any desserts at all. The two portions Xia Xue ordered even included a share for her. Facts proved that Xia Xue and Chen Yun were not judging others by their own measure of meanness. When the table was filled with various precious dishes that Zhang Yang had neither heard of nor seen before, the faces of both Xia Xue and Chen Yun turned extremely unsightly. They had not misjudged Wang Bin and Zhang Tiande; these two men had ordered nearly a hundred thousand yuan worth of dishes. They ordered the most expensive items, insisting on double portions for each. These dishes were enough for twenty people to eat, yet there were only five of them. Zhang Tiande now put on a facade of being the good guy, chastising Wang Bin, "Why did you order the same dishes as me?" Wang Bin also displayed an innocent face, "Uncle Zhang, I didn’t know, I was afraid you’d be too embarrassed to order, so I ordered for you." Zhang Tiande then asked deliberately, "So what should we do? Can we return them?" Wang Bin looked towards the attendant nearby. The attendant, without waiting for Wang Bin to ask, shook his head directly, "I’m sorry, sir, once the dishes are served, they cannot be returned." After hearing this, Wang Bin also showed a look of regret, and then very politely said to Zhang Yang, "Zhang Yang, sorry about that. You wouldn’t mind, right? Don’t worry, we can take away what we can’t eat." Zhang Tiande also echoed, "That’s the only thing we can do." Watching the act between Wang Bin and Zhang Tiande, neither Xia Xue nor Chen Yun made a sound. Did they really think they were fools? Couldn’t they see through this petty scheme? Even though they had anticipated such an outcome, they still felt Wang Bin and Zhang Tiande were being a bit too much. Especially Chen Yun, she was utterly disappointed in Zhang Tiande. As an elder, to join Wang Bin in such foolishness, was it appropriate to set up Zhang Yang like this? It was downright shameful to the extreme, how could someone be so shameless? Chen Yun was so angry that she didn’t even want to speak to Zhang Tiande anymore, not to mention voicing any reproach. It was then that Zhang Yang spoke up, "Brother Wang Bin, Uncle Zhang, since it’s already ordered, let’s just leave it at that. Let’s eat." However, at that moment, Luu Zhichang walked in again. He was holding a bill in his hand, "I’m sorry, sir, could you please settle the bill first?" "I’ll pay!" Xia Xue and Chen Yun suddenly stood up and said in unison.
