However, in the current situation, the Xu family members had already lost their appetites. Xu Tian coughed twice and said, “Since my mother has a headache, we’ll go back now.”

When Liu Xiao heard what Xu Tian said, she sat up and pointed at him as she roared, “You coward! Your wife has already been beaten up like this! You don’t even want to protect me! You’re covering up for this little whore!”

Before she could finish speaking, Li Gui gave Liu Xiao two more slaps and said disdainfully, “Watch your mouth!”

“Shut up! Haven’t you embarrassed yourself enough!” Xu Tian said as he looked at Liu Xiao.

The Xu family members left the private room one after another. Xu Chun quickly helped Liu Xiao up from the ground as all the onlookers made way for the Xu family members. Xu Ba stood where he was and did not make any move to leave. He felt that he needed to explain the situation today to Li Gui.

“I’m sorry, my sister-in-law is usually not like this. This is also the first time I’ve seen her so  so rude. I apologize on her behalf,” Xu Ba said sincerely.

Qiao Mei pulled up a chair casually and sat down, saying, “All her limbs are intact and she isn’t handicapped in any way. She can offer up her own apologies and doesn’t need you to do it on her behalf. Mr. Xu, do you have anything else to say? If you don’t leave now, I’m afraid you won’t be able to keep up with your mother and the rest of your family.”

Li Gui stood next to Qiao Mei and did not speak. What Qiao Mei said was what she wanted to say.

Old Madam Xu stood on the stairs and observed how much her son was infatuated with Li Gui. Her headache was getting worse now. She became even more determined not to let Li Gui enter the Xu family!

Li Gui was already in her 50s but still looked like she was in her 30s. A person like that definitely would not know how to manage a household. Her clothes and jewelry all looked very luxurious. If this woman simply spent her son’s money freely after marrying into the family! Then the Xu family would definitely be in trouble!

“Oh my  I feel terrible ” Old Madam Xu groaned even louder.

Xu Ba looked at Old Madam Xu and then at Li Gui. It was a difficult decision for him to make.

Li Gui looked at Old Madam Xu and said loudly, “Since your mother feels unwell, then you should go now. Your mother definitely doesn’t look like she is pretending! You have to know that when one pretends to be sick, one will really fall sick in the end!”

In any case, Li Gui had already decided not to marry Xu Ba. It was no longer a big deal to offend Old Madam Xu. The old lady was so angry to hear Li Gui’s comment that she almost could not catch her breath.

This was also the first time Xu Ba had seen Li Gui being so aggressive. Li Gui looked at Xu Ba and said, “You should leave now. Don’t come here again in the future. The most important thing for you is to take care of your family.”

It was not a good time to talk about anything today. Xu Ba left the restaurant dejectedly with the Xu family members. Li Gui stood on the second floor and yelled out to her customers, “I’m really sorry about today! There will be a 40% discount for all customers today! Each table will also get a free fruit platter!”

“Thank you, Boss! You’re so generous!” all the customers shouted back happily.

All the people here would definitely talk about what happened today behind her back, but since she had gone to such an extent to compensate them, they would most likely side with her and criticize the Xu family.

Meng Yuan looked at Qiao Mei apologetically and said, “I’m sorry, Third Sister-in-law. It’s all because of me that you got into an argument with her family.”

“Don’t take it to heart. We’re a family. Moreover, even without your issue, the Xu family won’t let us off so easily. It’s better for things to flare up earlier,” Qiao Mei said.

She was a little touched by the way Meng Yuan had stepped forward to protect her just now. Although she would introduce Meng Yuan as Xia Zhe’s younger brother, they had only known each other for less than two months. They still spoke to each other formally and were not as close as real family members.

Now that Meng Yuan had protected Qiao Mei without a second thought, Qiao Mei felt that Meng Yuan and her were like real family members!

“I’ll clean up this private room shortly. You and your colleagues can come inside to have your meal. It’s my treat. Don’t reject me!” Qiao Mei said.

“Thank you, Third Sister-in-law!” Meng Yuan said with a smile.

Qiao Mei was about to go to the kitchen to help Li Gui when she was stopped by one of the security officers at the door. The security officer whispered, “Boss Qiao, there are some people outside. It’s Boss Li’s family.”

She did not expect the Li family to still be in the capital. It looked like they still had a lot of money. It was not cheap to stay in a guest house in the capital! However, they had come at the right time! Qiao Mei needed their help with something!

“Ask them to come to my private room.” After saying that, Qiao Mei walked towards the private room at the far end of the second floor.

Qiao Mei had specially reserved this private room for important guests and her own family. Li Gui’s restaurant was doing very well at the moment. The first floor was for ordinary customers and the second floor was for customers from well-to-do families, businessmen and some government leaders. The restaurant was packed every day and all the private rooms were already fully booked until next month.

In order to avoid the situation of not having the use of a private room, Qiao Mei specially reserved one for herself.
