The waiter answered very respectfully, "Mr. Ran, the situation is like this. A mysterious guest has made a high-level reservation for you and has arranged for seven guests to dine here."
"A mysterious person? Who?" Ran Zhonghai frowned. How could anyone else know about his plan to host Gu Beichuan here?
Moreover, this restaurant is top-notch and not cheap, so who is behind all this?
"Well, she will co over personally in a mont; please wait for a while." The waiter’s words could only go this far, as he didn’t know much more himself.
As soon as the waiter left, Gu Beichuan was still sowhat curious, "Didn’t you say it was just a family dinner? Could it be Ran Xiangsi?"
In the Ran family, besides Ran Xiangsi, there was no one else.
Hearing this, Ran Yingqian coldly snorted, "Young Master Gu might not know, but my sister is dirt poor. How could she afford to dine in such a place?"
Fang Biqin, upon hearing Ran Yingqian’s words, nudged her under the table, signaling her to shut up.
In such an occasion, it was not her place to speak.
Ran Yingqian still wanted to say sothing but noticed the cold, piercing look from Gu Beichuan, "Isn’t she your sister? How could she be so dirt poor? Besides, how could you push such a poor girl onto ?"
Gu Beichuan’s tone was very unpleasant, frightening Ran Yingqian into imdiate silence, her face turning pale.
Seeing this, Ran Zhonghai hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Young Master Gu, Qianqian didn’t an it that way. You know our family’s situation now... Xiangsi has been very independent since she was young, moving out early to live on her own, without taking any money from the family, which is why she lives frugally. For a girl, working part-ti and studying is already quite impressive."
Ran Zhonghai would say anything to make Gu Beichuan like Ran Xiangsi.
Hearing this, Gu Beichuan’s emotions finally cald down, "Is that so? I didn’t expect her to be such a good woman..."
"Yes, yes." Ran Zhonghai nodded repeatedly, giving Fang Biqin a look to have her follow suit.
"Our Xiangsi is really great, beautiful too. The key is, she often ntions Young Master Gu, saying you are talented and handso!" Fang Biqin added flamboyantly.
Ran Yingqian found it amusing; they hadn’t seen Ran Xiangsi in days, how could they know her current situation?
Mom and Dad’s lies were so swift and seed so real!
...
While this family was putting on a show, on the other side, Ran Xiangsi and Xing Chen were preparing to enjoy the spectacle.
The manager soon ca over to the private room again, "Miss, I have followed your instructions and led those people to the private room. Chief Li Guoliang has also arrived. What do you think..."
Ran Xiangsi was leisurely pacing in the room when she heard the manager’s report, a smile appeared on her face, "Lead Li Guoliang to the private room and let him have a face-to-face eting with the Ran family first."
"Yes, Miss." The manager understood and left.
After he left, Ran Xiangsi walked over to Xing Chen with a smile, "Call Li Guoliang and tell him you are busy now, and that he should hold the scene, saying you will bring over in a while."
"What’s in it for ?" Xing Chen was soone who never did unprofitable business.
If she wanted to use him, she would have to offer sothing in exchange.
