Originally, the atmosphere in the private room was cheerful and the boss took the opportunity to get to know a few people around Mr. Ye, people he normally wouldn't be able to interact with.
However, as Ye Lan stood up and said this.
He clearly felt that the atmosphere in the private room had cooled down by more than a degree.
Ye Maoshan nodded to Ye Lan: "Go quickly, don't let Nian Nian stand outside for too long."
"Okay." Ye Lan pulled the chair away and hurried out.
Only then did Mr. Ye stare at the boss with an ambiguous look for a second, and said meaningfully: "It seems that it is becoming increasingly difficult to eat here!"
The boss was sweating profusely and was numb. He stammered and explained, "It must be a misunderstanding. Maybe the new waiter is ignorant and doesn't know anyone."
Mr. Ye is usually a very easy-going person. Despite his status and position, he rarely puts on airs. He is also very easy to talk to and is especially caring towards old acquaintances.
But this time there was no smile on his face, he just replied calmly: "That's right. My granddaughter-in-law rarely comes out to eat, so it's normal for her to be stopped outside."
Even if the boss was a fool, he could hear the dissatisfaction in his words. He wiped the sweat off his face and immediately said, "I'll go out and answer it."
Ye Maoshan just picked up the tea on the table and didn't say whether he agreed or not.
The boss could only stand there, not daring to move, feeling uneasy. He stole a few glances at the old man drinking tea, but couldn't see any clues.
Until footsteps and Ye Lan's voice were heard outside.
Ye Maoshan slowly put down his teacup, looked at the boss and said, "Now that everyone is here, I won't bother you anymore."
"It's no trouble, no trouble." The boss complained in his heart.
He had already heard the strangeness in Mr. Ye's words, which was completely different from the attitude he had used when talking to him just now.
He finally got in touch with people in this circle by virtue of his old generation. The boss thought for a while and said, "I have recently developed a new dish, Eight Treasure Roast Duck, which tastes pretty good. Would you like one, old man? I will consider this as an apology to Mr. Ye's girlfriend."
You want to apologize for a roast duck
If he had encountered this kind of thing today, Mr. Ye might not really care about it, but this time it involved Qiao Nian, and he felt uncomfortable.
"No thanks." So he rejected the boss's apology without even thinking about it, and didn't want to talk to him anymore: "You should go out and greet other guests first, and don't bother with an old man like me."
"… "
The boss is now really in a state of distress, unable to express himself.
But Mr. Ye had already shown that he didn't want to reminisce with him, and he was too embarrassed to stay in the private room, so he could only say with a bitter face: "Okay, Mr. Ye, take your time eating, I won't disturb you."
This time, Mr. Ye didn't even respond.
He holds a grudge very much.
When the boss went out, he happened to bump into the girl who came with Ye Lan.
The girl looked very young. She was following Ye Lan and was mainly listening to Ye Lan talking. She didn't say much herself.
He didn't see that Young Master Ye.
The boss secretly glanced at the girl a few times, but she always looked nonchalant and it was hard to tell what she was doing.
But he could see Ye Lan's warm and fond attitude towards girls.
He knew that Young Master Ye had a girlfriend who lived in the city and was the lost granddaughter of the Jiang family, but... no one told him that the Ye family attached so much importance to this girl from a small place who had climbed up the social ladder!
The boss is now regretting a lot. He is just upset that he did not specifically mention it to the waiter outside so as not to offend him.
