Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 1021 - Chapter 1021 Chapter 1020 Looking Down on Someone

Chapter 1021: Chapter 1020: Looking Down on Someone Chapter 1021: Chapter 1020: Looking Down on Someone Fu Xinwu grew more convinced by what she had just said, that the only time she had been to the Royal Mansion was as a child, accompanied by her elders. She had never returned since then, precisely because she thought the restaurant was too pretentious and dismissive of people.

Having harbored intentions to take down the Royal Mansion for quite some time, Fu Xinwu didn’t wait for Nan Fei’s reply, but went straight to the restaurant’s bar to grab the telephone, intending to call Huo Beijiang and lodge a complaint. When the cashier saw her approach, she tried to intervene, only to be kicked harshly away.

That kick was like poking a hornet’s nest, immediately setting off a buzz of whispers throughout the entire lobby.

That cashier had been at the Royal Mansion for some time, having developed a keen eye for judging people, and looked down upon bumpkins and nouveaux riches the most. Seeing Fu Xinwu daring to kick her, she glared at her with a threatening fierceness, as if she was about to slap her at any moment.

“Hey, this is Fu Xinwu. Put me through to the 36th Division. I need to speak with your division commander. What do you mean the commander isn’t in?”

Initially, the cashier and the restaurant staff were startled by her words, thinking she was indeed looking for a division commander. But upon hearing the commander wasn’t there, they immediately showed contemptuous and arrogant looks.

“Stop trying to scare people. Just get out of here! But before you do, you owe me an apology,” the cashier who had been kicked by Fu Xinwu sneered.

“You? Deserve an apology?” When Miss Fu was mixing with the crowd in Imperial City, these scoundrels didn’t even know where they stood!

Nan Fei watched Zhou Xiang with a sharp and impatient look filled with contempt. Under that gaze, Zhou Xiang unwittingly took a step back.

“What… why are you glaring at me?”

“Clearly, you are blind,” said Nan Fei with disdain, then glanced again at the receptionist and the staff members confronting Fu Xinwu with undisguised disgust and disappointment.

A restaurant boasting chefs from the ancient imperial kitchens, once held in high esteem in her heart, had now completely lost its charm.

Was it so that without status or position, one could no longer dine here?

This wasn’t the ancient times!

“Xin Wu, take out our VIP card.” Before they had left, Nan Fei had shown Fu Xinwu the VIP card gifted by Wei Fangyi since it would soon be needed, and it had been with her ever since.

Enlightenment dawned on Fu Xinwu as she smacked her forehead in frustration and said, “Look at my memory. How could I forget about the VIP card?”

Having finished speaking, she pulled out the VIP card from her pocket and slapped it with a thud onto the bar, to the utter astonishment of the restaurant’s staff.

“Take a good look. This was personally given by Wei Fangyi.” This time, she didn’t refer to Minister Wei but directly called out the name Wei Fangyi.

In such a context, who didn’t know who Wei Fangyi was? Upon hearing this name, all color drained from their faces. The cashier recognized the highest-tier VIP card of their establishment and, overhearing her mention Minister Wei by name, what more was there to misunderstand?

She had offended a true person of power, and not just slightly.

She had completely infuriated them.

Now the restaurant staff looked at Zhou Xiang with different eyes. If not for her nonsense, getting into an unnecessary dispute, they wouldn’t have utterly offended the guests.

“I’m sorry! I’m so sorry! Esteemed guest, please forgive our ignorance.”

Several staff members panicked and apologized; they knew that making mistakes as employees could lead to being fired, losing any chance of finding such a desirable job as the one at the Royal Mansion in the future.

Zhou Xiang’s face turned alternately pale and flushed as she shrieked, “Impossible! This simply can’t be! They’re lying. It has to be fake. The VIP card must be a counterfeit.”
