Chapter 395 - 395 395 Restaurant Opening (4)_1

Chapter 395: Chapter 395 Restaurant Opening (4)_1 Chapter 395: Chapter 395 Restaurant Opening (4)_1 Zhao Li heard this and spat out disdainfully, but it was clear they were close; she then said with a smile, “Exactly! Today I’m neither part of the Lu Family nor your sister-in-law!”

“Then who are you?” the person asked.

“What do you mean? You and Zhiwei are divorced?” someone called out to Lu Zhiwei across the way, jokingly asking, “Zhiwei, what’s going on? You two split up? How come I’ve never heard about it?”

“Sanwazi, shut your damn mouth!” Lu Zhiwei cursed in anger, tore open a pack of cigarettes, and threw a few sticks over, while formally introducing Ruan Jianguo to everyone, “This guy is Ruan Jianguo, the owner of this restaurant. Brothers, make sure to come and support us often. I, Lu Zhiwei, will take it as a personal favor.”

“Of course, of course, we’ll definitely come,” everyone chimed in, since they were there today at his invitation anyway.

These guys all retired alongside Lu Zhiwei, some went into business, others became cops, with quite extensive contacts. They often dined out, and didn’t mind eating in someone else’s place. Naturally, they were willing to give Zhiwei this face by coming here.

Ruan Jianguo was quite a talkative person, or else he wouldn’t be so close to Lu Zhiwei. He immediately struck up a conversation with the group, and the more they talked, the more they wished they’d met sooner.

Seeing that the dishes would take a while, the Ruanlin Family served some sunflower seeds and peanuts first, along with more than a dozen slices of watermelon. Ruan Jiaojiao followed behind with a small plate in her hands, bustling around to serve the guests.

Someone noticed and curiously asked Ruan Jianguo, “Jianguo, is this your little girl?”

“Isn’t she? She’s mine now, my precious goddaughter,” before Ruan Jianguo could reply, Zhao Li eagerly interjected from behind.

Ruan Jiaojiao timely called each one ‘uncle,’ with her sweet little voice, even knowing to hand out seeds. Her endearing nature truly charmed everyone.

The group of grown men all laughed, praising Zhao Li for picking such a good goddaughter.

While some flattery or politeness was more or less expected from others, Zhao Li took it to heart, looking immensely proud. Ruan Jiaojiao, feeling warm inside, reached out and took her hand.

As of now, Zhao Li held a much higher place in her heart than Shu Jiao…

Since arriving in this world, she had received plenty of love, but for over half a year, she had lacked maternal affection, and Zhao Li filled this void, which was why Shu Lang’s earlier concerns weren’t without reason.

Before the dishes arrived, everyone was snacking on seeds and peanuts, drinking some herbal tea, and having slices of watermelon; time flew by quickly.

There were two chefs in the kitchen, and the Ruanlin Family also helped out from time to time. The dishes were ready quickly, each appetizing in color, smell, and taste, making everyone’s mouth water.

Once they tasted the dishes, they couldn’t stop praising them; the meat dishes featured wild game, and the vegetarian dishes were grown by farmers. Even mushrooms were picked from the hills behind.

Everything was a product of nature and far tastier than what any ordinary restaurant could produce.

With a glass of liquor to accompany the meal, the taste was indescribably delightful.

More than a dozen men gathered together, creating an incredibly lively atmosphere. The Ruan Family already had over a dozen members, so the place was half full in no time. Occasionally, passersby saw how bustling the restaurant was and that the food was reasonably priced, and they too decided to come in.
