Chapter 206 Family Banquet
the next day.
At Zhenweiju Restaurant, Li Youcai reserved the Tianxi box and did not open it to the public.
The restaurant opened, and Li Youcai scheduled today to host a banquet for his relatives.
Near noon, Li Youcai and his family went out together and went to Zhenweiju.
Li Guanghu walked in front with his hands behind his back. He didn't show up on the day the restaurant opened even though Li Youcai asked him to because he was annoyed by the large number of strangers.
Because today is a family dinner, Duoduo doesn’t have to go to kindergarten anymore and was carried to the restaurant.
As soon as the family entered the house, Wang Wanru came to greet them directly as if she had been waiting in the hall in advance.
"Uncle Li, you look really energetic today."
Li Guanghu took a closer look and saw that it was Widow Wang from the same team. He was a little surprised that she was in his eldest son's restaurant. Wasn't she a waitress in a state-owned restaurant? It was his eldest son who found her the job.
Looking at Widow Wang's attire, she doesn't look like she's here to eat.
"She's the daughter-in-law of the Wang family."
"Dad, Sister Wanru is now the lobby manager here and works here." Li Youcai had never mentioned to Li Guanghu that Wang Wanru came to work in the restaurant before, so he immediately explained it to Li Guanghu.
After hearing what Li Youcai said, Li Guanghu looked at Li Youcai blankly.
Widow Wang has a bad reputation in the village, and she is at an age as young as a wolf and a tiger. Why did her son invite her to his restaurant? Wouldn't it be easy for something to go wrong?
Could it be that something has happened?
Being looked at like this by his father, Li Youcai immediately said, "Dad, Sister Wanru is very capable in running a restaurant. Look at all the waiters in this restaurant. They were all trained by Sister Wanru."
"Oh, that's good." Li Guanghu responded symbolically, then turned to look at Chu Xinyan who was holding Duoduo: "Xinyan, don't hold the child all the time, it's tiring, let the child go out and play by himself."
"Yeah, okay." Chu Xinyan responded.
Wang Wanru was very smart and immediately understood that Li Guanghu had some opinions about her appearance. Asking Chu Xinyan to put Duoduo down was just to remind her that Chu Xinyan was his daughter-in-law.
However, Wang Wanru didn't care at all about having crooked feet and not having straight shoes.
"Mr. Li, the Tianxi box is ready. I'll take you upstairs."
Li Youcai nodded, then said to Li Guanghu, "Dad, let's go upstairs."
The family was about to go upstairs, but Li Youjie wanted to stay: "You guys go up first, I'll wait here for Huang Juan and the others."
When Li Guanghu heard this, he felt that he should stay at the door of the restaurant and wait for his family members, which would be a sign of respect.
"I'll wait here for a while too. I guess your aunt and her family will be here soon."
As soon as Li Guanghu finished speaking, his aunt Li Mei and cousin Tang Xin walked in from the door, followed by a rude man, who was his uncle Tang Dali.
Previously, because he didn't allow Tang Xin to go to school, Li Guanghu threatened to give Tang Dali a good beating if he saw him again. As a result, Li Mei passed this message to Tang Dali, which scared Tang Dali so much that he didn't dare to come to Old Li's house several times.
Li Mei dragged Tang Dali to the family dinner this time.
"Uncle, cousin, cousin-in-law, second cousin." Tang Xin saw the family here as soon as she walked in, and immediately called them one by one.
Li Youcai could see that Tang Xin was obviously much more cheerful and generous than before.
He also grew a lot taller.
After Tang Dali entered the room, he stood at the door and refused to go in. It was Li Mei who pulled and dragged Tang Dali over.
"Aunt, uncle." Li Youcai and Li Youjie also shouted.
Tang Dali called out to Li Guanghu in a somewhat awkward manner, "Big Brother."
"Look at you, you're so stubborn. If I hadn't dragged you here, you wouldn't have dared to come." said Aunt Li Mei.
Li Guanghu looked at Tang Dali and said, "Why are you still holding a grudge against me? Zhuge Liang invited you three times and you came out, so why should I invite you a fourth time? It's useless."
"No." Tang Dali uttered two words in a muffled voice.
Tang Xin stood beside Li Youcai. Seeing her father acting like a child who had made a mistake in front of everyone, she felt uncomfortable and said hurriedly, "Uncle, cousin, my dad has allowed me to continue my studies and said he will never force me to find a husband again."
"This is a bit like a father. Let's have a couple of drinks later. It's been a long time since we last met."
After my aunt and her family arrived.
Two more groups of people came one after another, all of them were relatives of their family.
Li Guanghu invited all these people to the private room upstairs.
Outside the restaurant, Huang Juan and her family also arrived.
Huang Long brought his wife, and Huang Hu also brought Zhou Yan. Since Huang Hu's job was confirmed, the Zhou family also agreed to the two of them. Now Huang Laosan's family is preparing for the wedding of Huang Hu and Zhou Yan.
“What a big hotel.”
Huang Laosan's family had never even been to an ordinary restaurant, so they were really shocked to find themselves in such a big restaurant.
"Uncle, aunt, you are here." Li Youjie had been waiting at the door. When he saw Huang Juan and her family arriving, he rushed out of the revolving door to greet them.
"Youjie, we are not late, are we?" Tian Yulan called out softly when she saw Li Youjie.
"Of course not, we just arrived not long ago. My father and my eldest brother are greeting relatives at home. I am waiting here for you all. Please come in." Li Youjie said with a smile.
Huang Juan looked at Li Youjie with affection in her eyes, and was obviously very satisfied with Li Youjie's actions.
"You have a conscience." Huang Juan whispered softly in Li Youjie's ear.
Li Youjie felt happy and invited Huang Juan and her family to the restaurant.
Just as Huang Laosan and his family walked into the revolving door and Li Youjie was about to go in, a security guard from the farmers' market behind them called out to Li Youjie.
"Mr. Li! Wait a moment!"
"What's wrong? Is there something happening in the market?" Seeing that it was the security guard from the market, Li Youjie's first reaction was whether something had happened in the market.
"The market is fine. There was a man who came here with the missing person notice we posted before. He said he knew the whereabouts of Zhuang Moxue!" The security guard said to Li Youjie excitedly.
what!
Li Youjie's eyes widened when he heard this.
Zhuang Moxue is the biological mother of sister-in-law Chu Xinyan. In order to find the whereabouts of Zhuang Moxue, Li Youcai asked people to post missing person notices all over the world and also used many connections to investigate, but in the end he found nothing, as if this person did not exist in this world.
It's been so long since the incident, my elder brother and his wife have even given up.
How come someone suddenly appeared at this time and said that he knew the whereabouts of Zhuang Moxue?
Could he be a scammer who is after the reward?
Li Youjie was making all kinds of guesses in his mind.
"What about others?"
"He's in the market. I asked him to wait in the reception room, so I hurried over to find you and Mr. Li." The security guard said hurriedly.
"Well done. You go back and keep an eye on that guy first. I'll go find my brother and go together." Li Youjie said.
