Liu Yuanyuan immediately took Bian Xiaohui's phone during the break and called her father. Her father actually asked her to ask her homeroom teacher for leave and to skip evening self-study for the time being. He told her to come back and have dinner first.

This made Liu Yuanyuan feel a little strange. What kind of dinner was necessary that would make her father ignore her studies and ask for leave to go home?

As far as she knew, she didn't seem to have any relatives who could hold such a grand wedding.

But it was rare to hear her father's attitude so serious, so after thinking it over again and again, Liu Yuanyuan asked for leave directly from the head of the grade.

But when Liu Yuanyuan stood in front of the five-star hotel in Beitan City, she was stunned.

She didn't understand why her father asked her to come here? And who was he inviting to dinner?

No, considering my family's financial situation, we wouldn't come here to eat even if we were to treat others. This is a five-star hotel in North Beach City.

Even at this time, the average cost per person in this restaurant has reached thousands. If he invites a whole table of people, his parents' combined monthly salary wouldn't be enough to afford such a meal.

Liu Yuanyuan was a little nervous. He took out his cell phone and wanted to call his father to confirm.

But when I looked at the phone in my hand, I felt a little conflicted, afraid that my father would ask me where the phone came from.

After much hesitation, I finally dialed the number. Soon, my father answered the phone, his tone full of smiles: "Hello, hello, who is this?"

Liu Yuanyuan said cautiously, "Dad, it's me. Are you sure we're having dinner at the Marriott Hotel? Did you give us the wrong address? Or are we at some other restaurant across from the Marriott?"

The father on the other end of the phone paused before speaking, "Don't worry, it's definitely the case. The name of the private room is Dapeng Spreading Wings. You can wait there and pick up your mother."

As if Mr. Liu was afraid that Liu Yuanyuan would ask more questions, he hung up the phone immediately after saying this, which made Liu Yuanyuan feel a little strange.

Soon, Liu's mother also rode over on her bicycle. Seeing Liu Yuanyuan, she frowned and complained, "What's wrong with your dad? He's so secretive. He didn't even say Marriott's name, but only gave the house number, making it difficult for me to find him all the way."

After saying this, Mother Liu found a place to put the bicycle down, then took out her phone and said to Liu Yuanyuan: "Call your dad and ask him which store it is?"

Liu Yuanyuan raised her eyebrows and looked at her mother. It seemed that her father had kept the secret from her mother.

So she pushed her mother's phone back, sighed, and said helplessly: "I just called Dad, and he said we will eat at the Marriott, and the name of the private room is Dapeng Spreading Wings. Who are you going to invite, Mom and Dad? It's such a big deal." After saying that, Liu Yuanyuan looked at her mother innocently.

Mother Liu was stunned for a moment after hearing what Liu Yuanyuan said, then frowned. "Have you two suddenly become rich? One has a cell phone, and the other dares to eat in a place like this. I really underestimated you two."

Liu Yuanyuan chuckled, took out her phone and waved it around, then pulled her mother Liu's arm and said coquettishly, "Hey, this is also second-hand, very cheap.

I helped the police train some dogs a while ago, and they gave me a bonus as an encouragement. I've been a bit busy lately, and it's been a bit troublesome to keep borrowing Bian Xiaohui's phone, so I bought a second-hand one."

After hearing what Liu Yuanyuan said, Mother Liu opened her mouth and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Her daughter had encountered all those awful things at school, and she hadn't even told her or her husband. She felt bad that she had to figure it out on her own, so she didn't ask him about buying a phone.

But he kept talking to Liu Yuanyuan about the fact that Liu's father came to a place like Marriott to eat.

Liu Yuanyuan could only go along with it, and then she felt worried for her father.

Liu Yuanyuan and her daughter entered the Marriott and were led by the waiter to the private room of Dapengzhanchi.

The waiter helped them open the door of the private room, and they immediately discovered that it was not just Mr. Liu sitting in the room.

There were three other people sitting inside. Liu Yuanyuan had a vague impression of one of them, but she didn't recognize the other two at all. She was puzzled. She didn't understand why her father would invite her to a dinner party hosted by a group of strangers.

But Mother Liu's face immediately turned ugly, and she stood at the door without moving a step inside.

"Liu Zhiye, come out now, we won't have this meal tonight."

The people in the box were still smiling, but after hearing what Mother Liu said, Father Liu frowned first and said with some disapproval: "Xiu Ling, what are you talking about? Come in quickly, Old Sui is treating us to dinner today. He also said he has good news to tell us.

Yuanyuan, why are you still standing there? Come in quickly with your mother.

Liu Yuanyuan was completely confused, but judging by her mother's expression, she must be really angry. For a moment, she was in a dilemma.

The person who looked familiar to Liu Yuanyuan spoke up, "Sister-in-law, please come in. It's a rare occasion for me to treat you to a meal, and we haven't gotten together in a while. Can't you just give me some face?"

Mother Liu glanced at the two men and one woman in the room besides Father Liu, and said with a meaningful smile, "Old Sui, our two families have known each other for so many years.

Lao Liu has been working with you for so many years. I don't think Lao Liu has ever done anything to owe you, Lao Sui.

To put it bluntly, our Lao Sui and his two brothers would be senior technicians no matter which auto repair shop they go to.

Over the years, Lao Liu has always felt that you have had a hard time, so he has never asked you for a salary increase. He is still helping you train apprentices while receiving the salary of a low-level technician.

Not only have you never offered to raise his salary, but now you're plotting against our family of three. Don't think I don't know what you're up to."

Liu Yuanyuan was a little confused, but Liu's father's face looked ugly.

"Xiu Ling, what are you talking about? Lao Sui invited us to dinner this time, and he wanted to tell us the good news that he is going to give me a raise next year. And he is going to triple it. He didn't tell you because he wanted to give you a surprise."

But Mother Liu didn't buy into Father Liu's talk, and even the sneer on her face faded. "Liu Zhiye, you'd better ask this Sui Peng what he wants to do. Don't let yourself be sold here and count money for others."

The man named Sui Peng smiled awkwardly, while Father Liu stood up angrily and dragged Mother Liu into the box, closing the door.

But Liu Yuanyuan felt that since her mother could say this, this matter was not that simple.
