After Being Betrayed I Married the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 122: What the hell are you, daring to stand in someone’s way?!

Chapter 122: Chapter 122: What the hell are you, daring to stand in someone’s way?!

Lu Feiyan? She came to attend Wang Tuohai’s dinner party?

In an instant, Xu Bingqing’s face turned several shades paler. Lu Dong, still not understanding the situation, signaled for her to move to another spot.

This... Xu Bingqing’s heart pounded. She never expected Lu Feiyan to have such incredible luck, getting to sit at the same table and chat amiably with an industry giant like Wang Tuohai. Could Shen Fanyun have arranged this? Just how extensive is his network? Even a regular on Capital City’s wealth list follows his arrangements? This...

At this moment, Xu Bingqing could no longer afford to dwell on such things. After all, Lu Feiyan was still outside. If she went and complained to Shen Fanyun, Xu Bingqing feared there would be serious trouble today.

"I think I just saw Feiyan out there," Xu Bingqing announced suddenly. "She probably can’t find her way. It’s fine, I’ll go get her."

Volunteering herself, she said this and forcefully dragged Lu Dong out with her.

Lu Dong was confused. "Bingqing, have you lost your mind? You’ve already been told to take your seat. Why are you bothering with these troublemakers? The priority right now is to talk with Mr. Wang and try to leave a good impression."

Xu Bingqing’s expression was grim. "Have you forgotten? The girl we just stopped was Lu Feiyan."

"What?" Lu Dong’s mouth fell open.

Damn it! That girl is one of Mr. Wang’s guests? We... we actually had the audacity to stop one of Mr. Wang’s guests?

"S-so... what do we do now?" Lu Dong’s head throbbed. He was afraid that if Lu Feiyan complained later, he would be in for it. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"There’s still a chance to fix this."

Xu Bingqing rushed toward the main entrance. Seeing Lu Feiyan was still there, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She cleared her throat and approached Lu Feiyan, her tone softening considerably. "I’ve been thinking... we’re old acquaintances, after all. It does neither of us any good to be on such bad terms."

Why has Xu Bingqing suddenly changed her tune? Why is she being so polite? Lu Feiyan was astonished.

"Since you have a dinner party today, you should head inside. Don’t waste time out here. Let’s go," Xu Bingqing said, revealing a hint of a gentle smile.

Showing such courtesy out of nowhere... she must have an ulterior motive. Xu Bingqing is no saint, and I know that all too well. For her to suddenly have a change of heart like this, she must have found something out.

Lu Dong stood nearby, his face a mask of embarrassment.

"So, I should go in because you tell me to, and I can’t when you say so?" Lu Feiyan retorted. "Last I checked, you don’t own the Bistro. Why should I listen to you?"

She remained indifferent. After all, if a real problem arises, the Bistro will bear the primary responsibility. Who told their lobby manager to admit guests based on personal whim anyway?

"Bingqing came out here to smooth things over with you. What more is there to make a scene about?" Lu Dong cut in, growing impatient. He just wanted Lu Feiyan to accept the gesture and drop it, not to keep making trouble.

"Me? Making trouble?" Lu Feiyan sneered. "I think that term describes you more accurately, don’t you?"

"You..." Lu Dong began, then stopped himself. If she weren’t one of Wang Tuohai’s guests, I’d...

"Feiyan, we’re good sisters, aren’t we? Let’s stop this nonsense and go inside," Xu Bingqing said, stepping forward as if to take Lu Feiyan’s arm.

Feeling repulsed, Lu Feiyan quickly stepped back.

Just then, Shen Fanyun, suspecting something had gone awry, walked out. He arrived just in time to see Xu Bingqing and Lu Feiyan in a tense standoff.

Wang Tuohai followed close behind him.

"What’s going on?" Shen Fanyun asked.

Lu Feiyan recounted everything without holding back. "They wouldn’t let me in! They said I wasn’t qualified to eat at the Bistro! Especially this lobby manager here. He refused to let me in just because he didn’t like the look of me.

"I asked him if he was speaking for the Bistro, and he told me that as the lobby manager, he decides who gets in. And if he says someone can’t get in, they definitely can’t get in!"

Xu Bingqing and Lu Dong turned pale.

It’s over. This is a complete disaster. Lu Dong hung his head, unable to refute a word she said. After all, he had indeed said those things.

Upon hearing Lu Feiyan’s account, Shen Fanyun’s face turned cold. Seeing his displeasure, Wang Tuohai felt a knot of anxiety tighten in his stomach.

I personally arranged this dinner to curry favor with Shen Fanyun and leave a good impression. How could the Bistro mess it all up for me!

"Inconceivable! Utterly unheard of!" Wang Tuohai seethed. If Shen Fanyun forms a bad impression of me because of some worthless lobby manager at the Bistro, who’s going to bear that loss?

"Get your ass over here!" he bellowed.

Lu Dong trembled, completely stunned. With a pitiful expression, he stammered, "Mr. Wang, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry. I-I didn’t know she was your guest. I..."

SMACK!

A heavy slap from Wang Tuohai cut him off. "Go to hell!" Wang Tuohai roared, his face livid. "You’re a worthless manager, a mere wage slave! Who gave you the right to overstep your bounds and block my honored guest? How dare you?"

Lu Dong’s mouth filled with blood. The other security guards and service staff present didn’t dare to breathe a word. The Bistro’s clientele were no ordinary people; if a guest threw a tantrum, who would dare to intervene? Besides, Lu Dong was clearly in the wrong here.

"Do you really think you’re someone important?" Wang Tuohai continued to rage. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. I took this chance to visit the Bistro, hoping to try some local cuisine and satisfy my cravings. Who would have thought their management was so incompetent? A mere lobby manager is acting this lawlessly?

"And who are you?" Wang Tuohai demanded, turning his glare on Xu Bingqing. "Are you part of the Bistro’s management too? Your establishment’s hospitality is certainly ’unique’!"

"I-I’m not," Xu Bingqing denied, quickly waving her hands.

"You’re not?" Wang Tuohai was bewildered. If you’re not part of the restaurant’s management, then what the hell were you doing here with nothing better to do, blocking people? And mocking Lu Feiyan for not being qualified to eat here?

He narrowed his eyes. "Since that’s the case, am I to understand that you’re just here causing trouble for no reason?"

Xu Bingqing was speechless.

"It looks like I’ll have to get the Bistro’s owner over here personally," Wang Tuohai said, his hands clasped behind his back, his face a mask of fury.

Xu Bingqing’s scalp tingled with fear. Did I just inadvertently offend Wang Tuohai and drag the Bistro’s owner into this mess? Once the owner of the Bistro figures out what happened, he’ll want to skin me alive! A complete outsider, not management or even staff, nearly made the Bistro take the fall for this huge mess! This is...

Lu Feiyan watched on, finding the whole thing bizarre. She never expected the situation to become so ridiculous.
