When Yu Huang carried Yu Donghai to the restaurant, it was precisely lunchtime.

The Imperial Cuisine Restaurant was a famous restaurant in the Prosperous Capital. It was rumored that three hundred years ago, the king had personally visited this restaurant to have a meal, hence the name Imperial Cuisine Restaurant. The Imperial Cuisine Restaurant had been opened in the Prosperous Capital for three hundred years. It was no longer simply a restaurant, but a symbol of status.

Which one of those who could come to the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant for a meal were not rich, powerful and capable people?

Therefore, when Yu Huang’s tricycle stopped beside a row of luxurious cars, it was really like a pheasant entering a phoenix’s nest. It was hard not to attract attention. However, Yu Huang did not care about the gazes of those people. She brought Yu Donghai into the restaurant and asked the manager, “Manager Zhang, are there any more private rooms?”

Yu Huang was once Xuanyuan Jing’s fiancee. She was also an honored guest of this restaurant and was very familiar with the manager.

Manager Zhang did not recognize her at first, but although Yu Huang’s face was disfigured, her figure was still graceful and elegant, and her voice was very familiar. Manager Zhang hesitated for a moment before asking uncertainly, “You are… Miss Yu Huang?”

Yu Huang nodded.

Manager Zhang looked at Yu Huang with pity.

Yu Huang’s disfigurement was a hot topic of discussion in Prosperous Capital recently. As the manager of Imperial Cuisine Restaurant, Manager Zhang naturally knew about it too. He even heard that Yu Huang and Xuanyuan Jing’s engagement had already been annulled.

However, since Manager Zhang was able to climb to his current position, he naturally wouldn’t openly ridicule Yu Huang. A person who liked to hit others when they were down would eventually sow what they reaped. Manager Zhang was well aware of this principle.

Since Yu Huang’s face was already ruined, sitting in the main hall to eat would definitely attract attention. Manager Zhang should have prepared a private room for Yu Huang.

“Miss Yu Huang, I should have reserved a private room for you, but you know the rules of our restaurant. The private rooms are always pre-ordered. Unfortunately, all the rooms are full today.”

“At this moment, there’s only one empty seat in the hall. Miss Yuhuang, you see…”

Yu Donghai pulled on Yu Huang’s arm and said, “Let’s go to another place.” Yu Donghai didn’t want to see Yu Huang being mocked and ridiculed in public.

Yu Huang then asked Manager Zhang, “Is there no room left?”

Manager Zhang didn’t hide it. He said, “There’s another room that’s empty, but it was reserved in advance by a distinguished guest. There’s really no other way.” When he mentioned ‘distinguished guest’, the manager’s expression became more respectful.

It could be seen that he was indeed a big shot.

Yu Huang understood the principles of Imperial Cuisine Restaurant’s business, so she didn’t force him. However, when she thought about how her father kept nagging about wanting to eat this restaurant’s fish skin, she couldn’t bear to let her father return in disappointment, so she told Manager Zhang, “I want that table in the main hall.”

Manager Zhang looked at her in surprise and couldn’t help but ask, “Miss Yu Huang, are you really going to eat in the main hall?”

“Yeah.”

“Alright, please take a seat.”

After Manager Zhang brought Yu Huang and him to the dining table, he went to entertain the other guests.

When Yu Huang sat down, the surrounding customers looked at her strangely. Wanting to see her true appearance under the veil, they stared at the scarf on Yu Huang’s face.

Yu Donghai noticed the gazes of those people, and he felt somewhat unhappy. He suppressed the anger in his heart, and sized up the restaurant’s environment. He couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. “The restaurant still has the same renovation style as before.” The poor scenery was still the same, but he didn’t see anyone from the past.

Yu Huang didn’t know about Yu Donghai’s past. She only knew that he was a cripple who liked to drink. She asked Yu Donghai, “Father, do you have any other relatives?”

Yu Donghai shook his head. “No, I’m the only one left.”

Yu Huang held Yu Donghai’s hand. “And me.”

Yu Donghai smiled and nodded.

Yu Huang took out her phone and scrolled to an online shop that sold furniture online. She picked a bed for Yu Donghai and paid an extra 200 yuan. She asked the boss to find someone to send the bed to the rented room as soon as possible.

After she bought the bed, the dishes were served.
