Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 372 - Chapter 372 Chapter 371 Gu Sitings Protection of Her

Chapter 372: Chapter 371: Gu Siting’s Protection of Her Chapter 372: Chapter 371: Gu Siting’s Protection of Her Old Master Huo came this time not only to thank Ming Yao, but also to invite her to have a meal together.

“I think there’s no better day than today, let’s go today!”

Ming Yao didn’t demur and nodded, “Old Mr. Huo, please wait a moment while I go change my clothes.”

After Ming Yao went upstairs, Old Master Nangong and Nangong Xuan also wanted to join the meal, but Old Master Huo ruthlessly rejected them.

Old Master Huo took Ming Yao to a rather famous private restaurant in the capital city.

A small three-story western-style house, and a beautiful and elegant garden.

The path leading to the private restaurant was filled with seasonal flowers, and the fences and walls were covered with green plants.

Having such a place in the bustling city seemed quiet and elegant, fresh and natural.

This private restaurant only served members of the upper society, receiving six tables of guests every day.

When the car stopped at the entrance, Old Master Huo encountered an old acquaintance, and he said to Ming Yao, “My little benefactor, go ahead to Peony Hall and wait for me.”

Ming Yao nodded her head.

As she approached the entrance of the private restaurant, ready to go in, suddenly a mocking voice came through.

“Tsk, I was wondering who it was. Turns out it’s just a country bumpkin.”

Huo Chun and her group of girl friends had arrived together.

After falling off a horse, Huo Chun’s waist hurt for nearly a month, and she put all the blame on Ming Yao.

Seeing Ming Yao, she naturally wanted to mock her viciously.

Ming Yao glanced at Huo Chun, her expression indifferent, “Is there something you want?”

“Nothing, just that I’m surprised to see you here,” Huo Chun said.

Ming Yao was not favored at all in the Nangong Family, yet she could afford to eat here?

One should know, this private restaurant was not a place where one could just spend money to enter.

A membership card was required.

And to get a membership card here, one must be a person with status and face.

What was Ming Yao?

The contempt and scorn in Huo Chun’s eyes clearly fell into Ming Yao’s view, her expression cold, “A good dog doesn’t block the way, Miss Huo, do you want to be the dog?”

Huo Chun had experienced Ming Yao’s sharp tongue and realized that a verbal argument was not something she was necessarily going to win.

Huo Chun didn’t want to waste more words with Ming Yao, so she called over a waiter, “How has the standard here dropped? You let any Tom, Dick, or Harry in now?”

The waiter of course recognized Huo Chun and responded respectfully, “Miss Huo, what seems to be the problem?”

Huo Chun pointed at Ming Yao, “Does she have a membership card?”

The waiter saw that Ming Yao was unfamiliar, and her attire did not stand out as any major brand, although her looks and temperament were both quite good, it did not appear that she belonged to any of the capital’s top-notch aristocratic families.

Even if she was the daughter of some family, she probably belonged to a minor aristocratic family with no significant standing.

If ranked into classes, she probably wouldn’t even make the ninth tier.

“Miss, I apologize, but we do not serve walk-in guests here.”

Those who came to their private restaurant were all high-profile figures, any one of whom they could not afford to offend.

If any stranger breached the place and disturbed one of these figures, the consequences would be unthinkable!

Ming Yao pursed her lips, “I don’t have a membership card, I came with Old Master Huo.”

Hearing about Old Master Huo, Huo Chun laughed dismissively.

She didn’t believe for a moment that Ming Yao was talking about her grandfather.

After all, even she barely saw Old Master Huo a few times a year, let alone Ming Yao!

It must be some ordinary old man with the surname Huo!

“Miss, if you don’t have a membership card, I can only ask you to leave,” the waiter said, immediately guessing that the Old Master Huo mentioned by Ming Yao wasn’t the influential one upon seeing the disdain on Huo Chun’s face.

Ming Yao couldn’t be bothered to argue, she walked to the entrance and lazily leaned against a tree.

Seeing Ming Yao still refusing to leave, Huo Chun sneered, “Some people really do have thick skins.” Turning to the waiter, she said, “Don’t let her affect the reputation of your exclusive restaurant.”

The waiter immediately called for security, “Miss, if you don’t leave, I will have security remove you!”

Even the good-natured Ming Yao was starting to lose patience.

“I had no idea that the best private restaurant in the capital could have such snobbish waiters, groveling like lapdogs.”

The waiter’s face changed, and then he said mockingly, “If you had the same esteemed status as Miss Huo, I would grovel to you too!”

Seeing that Ming Yao remained quiet and couldn’t produce a membership card, the waiter told the security, “Kick her out!”

Just as security was about to grab Ming Yao and drag her away, a commanding voice suddenly rang out, “Who dares to touch her? Just try it.”

Dressed in a Zhongshan suit and exuding authority, Old Master Huo had arrived.

Upon seeing Old Master Huo, both the waiter’s and Huo Chun’s faces changed.

“Grandfather…” Huo Chun’s eyes widened in disbelief at seeing Old Master Huo here.

Old Master Huo swept his eyes over Huo Chun, “Is it you who ordered the waiter to kick out my distinguished guest?”

Huo Chun had always been afraid of Old Master Huo, and his questioning had frightened her until she turned pale.

Old Master Huo walked over to Ming Yao, looking at the condescending waiter, “What, my distinguished guest can’t enter here? Bring your manager to me!”

Hearing the commotion outside, the manager hurried over.

Seeing Old Master Huo’s uncontainable rage, he bowed and said, “Old Master, it is our fault for not training our staff properly. I apologize to you for this. Regarding this snobbish employee, I will dismiss her immediately!”

Hearing this, the waiter’s face instantly turned ashen.

She knew that if she didn’t accept this decision, she would find it difficult to get a job in the capital in the future!

“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have been snobbish!”

Ming Yao wouldn’t bother with a waiter, especially since she was just following Huo Chun’s instructions.

“Grandfather Huo, let’s go in,” Ming Yao said.

Old Master Huo, seeing that Ming Yao was still willing to dine with him, smiled and nodded, “Alright.”

Old Master Huo led Ming Yao into the private room, passing by Huo Chun and her party without even a glance.

Until their figures disappeared, Huo Chun still couldn’t react.

Su Keke said quietly, “Chuner, why is your grandfather so indifferent to you?”

Huo Chun bit her lip hard, her hands clenched into fists, filled with righteous anger.

From a young age, Old Master Huo, not fond of her mother, didn’t like her or her brother Huo Ze much either.

“What kind of background does Ming Yao have, for your grandfather to treat her so well?”

Huo Chun clenched her teeth tightly, “She’s just a little seductress.”

Su Keke and the other girls widened their eyes and whispered, “Could it be that she’s even seduced your grandfather?”

“What’s impossible? After all, those coveting the Old Master’s wealth are not few!”

The faces of the girls showed disbelief.

No matter how powerful or influential Old Master Huo was, he was in his seventies or eighties–could his taste really be so extreme?

Huo Chun didn’t care about Ming Yao’s reputation; she led her girlfriends into the private room.

Two of the girlfriends went to the restroom, talking, “That Ming Yao, truly disgusting, what a waste of a pretty face!”

“If she weren’t pretty, how would Old Master Huo fancy her? Though old, he still has high standards!”

The two girls were completely unaware that a tall and imposing figure had just come out of the men’s restroom, overhearing their conversation.
