As soon as Yun Xi went outside, she saw the black car parked at the curb. Chen Yichen saw her coming out and got out of the car.

Yun Xi was taken aback on seeing him.

She had thought that Chen Yichen was going to send a driver to pick her up. She surely hadn’t expected Chen Yichen to come himself.

Yun Xi teased him with a smile. “So, the eldest heir has come to pick me up himself. I’m really flattered!”

“I came here personally to show my sincerity and pay tribute to your status.”

Chen Yichen went to the pa.s.senger side and opened the door for her.

Yun Xi smiled and was about to get into the car. It just so happened that, at that moment, Liang Xiuqin was leaving to take Yun Ziling to the Jiang home to find Jiang Henglin.

As soon as she’d gone outside and seen the elegant sedan parked at the curb outside their house and noticed that the eldest heir had come in person to pick up Yun Xi, she quickly pulled Yun Ziling with her and walked over to get familiar with him.

“The eldest heir is here! Such a distinguished guest! Would you like to come in for a cup of tea?”

Chen Yichen glanced at Liang Xiuqin. Although he didn’t like this sn.o.bby woman, he had to maintain a courteous att.i.tude toward her both because she was Yun Xi’s mother and because of the manners he’d been bred with. So he answered politely, “Auntie, there is no need. Thank you.”

“Oh, are you headed home to the Chen family’s house? It just so happens that we’re going to the Jiang family’s house on the same road. Could you give us a ride with you?”

Chen Yichen glanced at Yun Xi’s embarra.s.sed and impatient expression and chuckled lightly. “I’m sorry, but we aren’t going back to my home. Grandma has invited Yun Xi to dine at Jinding.”

“Jinding…” Liang Xiuqin tugged at the corners of her mouth, her eyes gleaming.

Jinding!

Jinding’s cuisine was second to none in Jingdu!

Customers weren’t allowed to order dishes. All the dishes were cooked by the host according to what was in season.

The chefs at Jinding were all apprentices to or heirs of imperial court chefs. The craftsmans.h.i.+p they displayed was the highest in Jingdu. The food was lavishly priced and deliciously made.

Those who could get a reservation at Jinding were either celebrities or prominent figures in the business world. Ordinary people couldn’t make a reservation even if they wanted to.

The Yun family was just a family from the villa complex. There was no way they would ever be able to get a reservation.

Yun Ziling had grown up in Jingdu, so she naturally knew what Jingding represented.

Upper-cla.s.s socialites all gloated about going to Jinding for dinner. It had become a way to show off one’s status.
