Chapter 226: Chapter 226 You Have to Say This to My Friends

Ding Lijuan immediately became displeased, "What’s going on with you? You’re already divorced from this loser, so why are you still speaking up for him!"

"Yeah, sis, you are Auntie’s daughter, you should be siding with Auntie. How can you be so disloyal!" Ding Liang chimed in as well.

Ding Liang’s words had struck right to Ding Lijuan’s heart.

"I think so too, Jingting, do you think it was easy for mom to raise you all these years? Why do you always have to go against us, even helping such a loser?" Ding Lijuan fumed with frustration.

"I’m not..." Han Jingting was indignant but unable to express her distress.

"Still saying no!"

At this moment, Ding Liang stepped forward to play the peacemaker, "Auntie, in my opinion, sister’s heart is still with you; she’s just been deluded by some people."

Afterward, Ding Liang turned towards Chen Xuan with a sneer, "Mr. Chen, why are you here? Don’t tell me you deliberately followed us?"

It suddenly dawned on Ding Lijuan, "Yeah, how would you know we’re here? I get it now, you must be reluctant to divorce Jingting, so you followed us here to change her mind, right?"

"Hmph, I’d advise you to give up that idea. Jingting has finally shaken off a mangy dog like you; she would never give you another chance!"

The marriage to Han Jingting had left Chen Xuan disappointed, but seeing the true colors of Ding Lijuan and the others, he felt somewhat relieved.

Being divorced meant he would no longer need to deal with the detestable faces of Ding Lijuan and the others, and that was perhaps one of the few advantages of the divorce for him!

Chen Xuan responded calmly, "You’re mistaken. Since Jingting and I are divorced, I have no intention of clinging to her. I’m here today simply to dine."

Ding Lijuan sneered, "Dining? Did you even look at where you are? Do you think you’re worthy of dining at such a fancy place?"

Ding Liang mocked as well, "Chen Xuan, just admit it if you’re trailing my sister. Stop making up these lies to fool us, do you think we’d believe you? Ha ha..."

Before Ding Liang could even laugh out loud, a staff member from Huai City Banquet approached Chen Xuan with great respect.

"Mr. Chen Xuan? Hello, the bosses have been waiting for you upstairs in the Supreme Private Room for a while now. Please follow me!"

"What? The Supreme Private Room?" Ding Liang’s smile ceased abruptly.

Ding Lijuan and the others stood frozen in place.

Chen Xuan, however, didn’t even bother with them and followed the staff member straight upstairs.

It took a good while for Ding Lijuan and the others to snap back to reality.

Ding Liang: "He really came here to eat? And in the Supreme Private Room?"

Guo Yueling was also very unsatisfied, "Big sis, what’s going on with your family? Even your son-in-law gets to dine in the Supreme Private Room, yet our Xiao Liang has to settle for a regular table? This is too much!"

"Exactly, Auntie, have I only been gone for a few months, and that loser Chen Xuan has a higher status than me now?" Ding Liang was also extremely unhappy.

"What are you talking about? You just wanted to go to the Supreme Private Room, didn’t you? Rest assured, I will make that loser give up the Supreme Private Room right now!"

Without waiting for Han Jingting to stop her, Ding Lijuan headed straight upstairs without another word.

Han Jingting stood there stunned.

Her mother was usually pretty normal, but as soon as Ding Liang came, she would act like a completely different person, obedient to every one of Ding Liang’s requests. This level of indulgence was something Han Jingting had never experienced!

Ding Lijuan ran up to the second floor and immediately saw Chen Xuan, who had just gone upstairs.

"Chen Xuan!" Ding Lijuan called out sharply.

Chen Xuan was surprised that Ding Lijuan had followed him, "Is there something else?"

Ding Lijuan said proudly, "Of course, there is!"

"You’re here for the Supreme Private Room to dine, right?"

Chen Xuan nodded, "That’s right. But what does that have to do with you?"

Ding Lijuan: "It has everything to do with me! Xiao Liang wants to eat braised beef brisket in the Supreme Private Room, so you have to give up the Supreme Private Room to us!"

Ding Lijuan commanded in an unequivocal tone, never intending to consult with Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan laughed bitterly in extreme anger, "And what makes you think I have to give up the Supreme Private Room for you?"

"Do I even need to say it? I’m your mother-in-law, and even though you and Jingting are divorced, I’m still your elder after all."

"Besides, don’t forget, when your mother was ill and nearly died, it was our family that gave you the money for the surgery."

"Now it’s just a matter of giving up a private room, what’s the problem with that?"

Ding Lijuan was self-righteously indignant, acting as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Chen Xuan was speechless inside, over the years, every time they argued, Ding Lijuan always brought up this reasoning.

It seemed as long as they stood on the moral high ground, they could command Chen Xuan to do anything!

Chen Xuan didn’t argue, "The meal today is being hosted by a friend of mine, I’m just here to honor an invitation, so if you want the Supreme Private Room, you might need to talk to my friend."

Ding Lijuan was unconvinced, "Fine then, take me to your friend now."

In Ding Lijuan’s view, what kind of impressive people could Chen Xuan with his status possibly associate with? She assumed they were all nobodies just like Chen Xuan, not worth her attention at all.

Without saying much, Chen Xuan led Ding Lijuan towards the Supreme Private Room at the end of the corridor.

Ding Lijuan started off full of confidence, but as they walked, she began to feel something was amiss.

Along the way, both sides of the corridor were lined with tall and burly tattooed men.

Stationed every meter, these men had stern expressions, fierce eyes, and radiated a murderous aura.

Ding Lijuan even saw clearly that some of them had pistols holstered at their waists!

Ding Lijuan swallowed her saliva, growing increasingly apprehensive.

This display was not quite what she had imagined...

However, to snatch the Supreme Private Room for her godson Ding Liang, Ding Lijuan had no choice but to steel herself and keep moving forward.

Finally, they arrived at the door of the private room.

"My friend is inside, go in and talk to them," Chen Xuan said as he opened the door and Ding Lijuan stepped in.

She had been ready to use her eloquence and persuasion to stubbornly coerce the other party to yield the Supreme Private Room to her.

But the next moment, upon clearly seeing the scene inside the private room, she suddenly froze.

Inside the room, by a large round table big enough for thirty to forty people, sat seven or eight individuals.

Ding Lijuan immediately recognized one of them as Elder Sister Yun, the chairwoman of Yunshan Corporation, whom she had seen at the Huai City Banquet before.

Next to Elder Sister Yun sat an older woman with a harsh look in her eyes, smoking a cigarette, a tattoo peeking out from her arm, and flanked by two henchmen with guns at their waists.

Based on what Ding Lijuan had heard last time, this person was likely the notorious Cui Fengjiu, who ruled the underworld of Huai City!

Sitting next to Cui Fengjiu was a man Ding Lijuan had seen on television.

The richest man in Huai City, Wong Jiasen!

As for the other people, although Ding Lijuan didn’t recognize them and had never seen them before, she could tell from their presence that none of them were common folk, they were all genuinely important figures!

After all, Elder Sister Yun was personally pouring tea for everyone at that moment.

Even someone of Elder Sister Yun’s caliber had to serve tea and water in their presence, how could these people be mere mortals!

For a moment, Ding Lijuan was dumbstruck on the spot, almost forgetting what she came here for...
