Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before slaying the dragon

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but turn his head to look at Eiry's profile, feeling a strange feeling in his heart.

Eiry's behavior was beyond Lu Mingfei's expectation. It was not just the words she wrote in the little notebook. Lu Mingfei knew that Eiry disliked strangers touching her body. He also knew that Eiry didn't like to dine at the same table with unfamiliar people. But whether it was actively shaking hands with her uncle, toasting her uncle, or eating at the same table with her aunt and Director Chen's family, these were experiences Eiry had never had before, but the girl didn't show any stage fright or resistance at this moment.

Of course Lu Mingfei knew that Eiry's current obedient and submissive behavior was all because of him. How could he not be deeply moved? There is no one in the world who would not like such a sensible and well-behaved girl... Lu Mingfei couldn't help but think.

Eiry was drinking with her uncle and Director Chen, so of course her aunt couldn't immediately divert her attention from Eiry.

"Mingfei, how long have you known your girlfriend?" Aunt asked the first question.

"Probably... more than a week." Lu Mingfei answered truthfully.

"Ah? Didn't you say you were classmates? How come you've only known each other for a week?" asked my aunt puzzled.

"It's like this. Didn't my seniors and I come to Japan for academic exchanges? Eiry and I met during the academic exchange. Because we didn't want to bother explaining it, we just introduced each other as classmates." Lu Mingfei was the type who could tell lies without blushing.

"Oh, no wonder this girl is a native Japanese." Auntie suddenly realized and asked, "Does that mean you and this girl started dating after knowing each other for only a week? I heard her just mentioning things like meeting her parents, becoming her fiancée, and becoming her wife... Have you considered this? Are Japanese people really that open-minded?"

"No, no, no, actually, Eri and I just started dating. Her family background is quite special, so she hasn't been taught much about this. These words were taught to her by an unscrupulous ramen chef when we went to a ramen stall a few days ago." Lu Mingfei quickly explained, "Eri actually doesn't really understand what words like fiancée and wife mean. She also doesn't know what meeting the parents means. She's never been exposed to these things before."

"Is the little girl so innocent?" Auntie glanced at Eriya. "From what you said, her family has always protected her very well, right?"

"Yes, Eiry's family has always been very strict with her and generally doesn't let her go out." Lu Mingfei nodded.

"So strict? Girls need to be protected, but being too strict isn't good either. If you don't let them out, they won't know anything and will seem to lack spirituality." The aunt glanced at Mrs. Chen, flattering her subtly and praising her "future daughter-in-law" at the right time. "I think Director Chen's family does a pretty good job of this. They have just the right level of protection for their girls. Look at Jia Jia, isn't she now well-behaved, smart, and polite!"

"It's true that Old Chen and I have put a lot of effort into educating our daughter." After hearing her aunt's words, Mrs. Chen, who had always had a bad expression, finally relaxed a little.

"Mingfei, from what you said, it seems that this girl's family conditions are quite unusual?" Auntie asked Lu Mingfei in a low voice, "Is this girl's family very wealthy?"

"He is quite rich." Lu Mingfei nodded.

It is no longer something that can be simply summarized by the word "rich". To be honest, the Eight Clans of Sheqi should be as wealthy as a country. They are extremely rich. Moreover, they are not only rich, but also powerful, influential, have connections and resources. The whole of Japan is their backyard... But of course, it is impossible to tell these to my aunt. Lu Mingfei just thought secretly in his heart.

"What does your family do?" Auntie leaned close to Lu Mingfei's ear. "Are your parents both government officials? Do you own a company? It's impossible that your family owns a mine, right?"

"Eri comes from a big family. Her family is quite traditional and has a long history. They may be involved in various industries." Lu Mingfei said as tactfully as possible.

"Oh my! Doesn't this sound just like those Korean chaebols in TV dramas? This girl's family is so rich!" Auntie couldn't help but shout out, attracting everyone's attention.

My aunt also realized that it was not a good idea to keep asking about the family affairs of a little girl whom she had just met for the first time, as if she was checking her household registration, so she coughed twice and changed the subject.

"Ahem, Mingfei, your girlfriend can't speak. Is it because she was born with some disease?" Aunt put on a concerned expression.

"I guess so... It's because Eri has a special physical condition, so her family keeps a close eye on her and rarely lets her go out." Lu Mingfei nodded. "So Eri doesn't really understand a lot of things because she doesn't have much social experience. Please don't be offended if she says something strange."

"Oh, so the family's strict control is due to health reasons. It sounds like the little girl is actually quite pitiful." Auntie said to Lu Mingfei earnestly, "Since the little girl is innocent and trusts you, Mingfei, please don't bully others. Boys should have a sense of responsibility. You should take care of her."

"I will." Lu Mingfei nodded solemnly, and at the same time, his impression of his aunt couldn't help but change.

Originally, Lu Mingfei thought that his aunt was just an ordinary housewife, just like tens of thousands of other decent women in China, a little selfish, a little stingy, and a little mercenary, and had only dealt with a few people in the family and the daily necessities of life all her life. Lu Mingfei thought that his aunt's attitude towards him had changed only because he had grown sensible, could say what his aunt liked to hear, and knew how to help the family... But at this moment, Lu Mingfei could truly feel the unintentional concern revealed in her tone. This mercenary woman was actually quite good by nature, and she was not stingy in expressing the most basic kindness to the girl who was "not in good health" when she met for the first time.

Mrs. Chen did not interrupt the whole time. She was observing silently. After listening for a while, she was sure that the girl who was drinking with her husband, Mr. Chen, was really her nephew's girlfriend. From the love that her nephew expressed for the girl, it was clear that their relationship was genuine. Mrs. Chen couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Although this nephew is not as good as the first two classmates, he is still much more handsome than Lu Mingze. Judging from his conversation, temperament and accomplishment, he probably studied in an aristocratic university in the United States and interacted with a group of elites. Moreover, he has traveled to so many places at such a young age. His future is limitless. It sounds like his parents have also settled in the United States. His family environment must be quite affluent. He is very familiar with the posture of using a knife and fork. It seems that he often goes to high-end places such as Michelin restaurants. He is completely different from the "fake upper class" of his aunt's family... But it's a pity, this outstanding nephew already has a girlfriend. The two seem to have a good relationship. The girl's conditions completely surpass his daughter Jiajia in all aspects. The nephew's road is completely blocked.

But it doesn’t matter. There are many outstanding boys at the dinner table tonight, and my nephew’s two classmates seem to be more elite and upper-class than him.

"Say hello to your classmates too. They seem to have hardly spoken since they sat down at the table. Don't let them feel left out." Mrs. Chen Lu Mingfei said.

"Yeah, yeah." Lu Mingfei turned his head to look at Caesar and Chu Zihang, raising his glass from a distance. "Boss, Senior Brother, let me toast you. I originally wanted to treat you to a meal, but then I found out that my uncle and aunt were also in Japan. In the end, it turned out like this. I'm really sorry to have ignored you."

As he spoke, Lu Mingfei secretly winked at Chu Zihang.

Caesar smiled and raised his glass to Lu Mingfei, then quietly asked Chu Zihang, "What does Lu Mingfei's look mean?"

"He means we should act according to the circumstances." Chu Zihang explained to Caesar in a low voice, "Lu Mingfei wants to tell us that the woman he's talking to now is the woman next to his aunt, and she might launch an offensive against us soon."

"Launch an attack?" Caesar frowned slightly. "What do you mean? Do you Chinese still have the habit of suddenly fighting at the table in the middle of a meal?"

"No, this banquet is a blind date. In such a dinner, the mother-in-law will usually choose the son-in-law based on merit." Chu Zihang said expressionlessly, "That woman is probably not very satisfied with Lu Mingfei's cousin. Seeing that Lu Mingfei already brought his girlfriend, she wanted to bring the topic to us two."

Caesar nodded in sudden realization.

"Chinese women become particularly difficult to deal with once they reach this age." Chu Zihang's expression grew serious, as he suddenly thought of his mother's sisters. "If we don't handle that woman's moves properly, this dinner will likely end in a bad mood. So Lu Mingfei's idea is that he will deal with that difficult woman, and the two of us just need to pretend to be on the sidelines and act accordingly."

"You can read so much meaning from just one look." Caesar couldn't help but tease, "Did you brothers share a brain when you were young, and then split it up when you grew up?"

"Is Mingfei's classmate with blond hair a foreigner?" Mrs. Chen glanced at Caesar. "Which country is he from? He looks like he's from a European or American country, more towards the Mediterranean."

"His name is Caesar, and he's Italian." Lu Mingfei asked tentatively, "Auntie, are you interested in this classmate of mine?"

"It's just a chat. That's what dining is all about, just chatting and chatting about family matters." Mrs. Chen smiled. "You see, Auntie has always lived in China and rarely eats at the same table with young people from other countries. When she was young, Auntie always wanted to travel to Italy. It's normal for her to be curious about your classmates."

"Oh, no wonder." Lu Mingfei said meaningfully, "But Boss Caesar is indeed quite popular. He's also the president of our school's student union. All the girls in their student union dance troupe like him."

After Lu Mingfei finished speaking, Mrs. Chen's smile froze. She had expected that Caesar, a blond-haired and blue-eyed student, would be very popular, but she had not expected that he would be the president of the university's student union... The student union of a university is very different from that of a high school. I heard that the presidents of student unions at some foreign universities have as much power as a school teacher.

Moreover, how could Mrs. Chen, who is so well-mannered, not understand the hidden meaning in Lu Mingfei's words? The girls in the university dance troupe must all be girls with graceful figures and proud temperaments. Compared with these girls, her own Jia Jia definitely has no appearance advantage.

"Caesar is also the student union president. I didn't expect him to be so outstanding." Mrs. Chen calmed down and made another move. "So what does Caesar's family do? Do they run a business in Italy?"

"You could say he's in business, just like Eri. The Caesar family is a big Italian family with a wide range of businesses. His father is also one of the trustees of our school." Lu Mingfei smiled and responded, "Caesar is the family's designated heir. He will replace his father as the trustee of our school."

Mrs. Chen's expression became a little unnatural again. If she was choosing a son-in-law, she would certainly hope that the other party's family background was wealthy and comfortable, but being too comfortable was not necessarily a good thing... Lu Mingfei's simple description of just a few words made Mrs. Chen realize what a true aristocrat was and what a real wealthy family was. Isn't there a saying that "Once you enter a wealthy family, it's like entering a deep sea"? Mrs. Chen suddenly felt that the family conditions were too different and they were not even from the same world.

"Then Caesar has to deal with student union affairs and family matters. He must be very busy on weekdays, right?" Mrs. Chen looked at Caesar when she asked this question. This was her trump card. "Caesar is so busy, he probably doesn't have time for a girlfriend, right?"

"I'm sorry, I'm engaged." Caesar raised his glass to Mrs. Chen with a gentlemanly smile on his face.

Mrs. Chen's smile completely froze on her face.

Chapter 462: Lu Mingfei Protects His Shortcomings

"Yes, the boss got engaged last year, and his fiancée is also a student of our school." Lu Mingfei nodded, confirming what Caesar said.

"Oh, by the way, you've all met the boss's fiancée, Auntie. I just don't know if you still remember her." Lu Mingfei looked at his auntie. "When I was admitted to the school, my senior sister and Professor Guderian came to visit us at home. She was one of the two senior sisters in uniform, named Nono."

The aunt recalled and seemed to have some impression, but also seemed to have no impression at all. She only remembered that when Professor Guderian with a strange name came to visit, he brought precious Wuyi Rock Tea and Guizhou Maotai Liquor. Those tea and liquor were still not finished in her house, and that professor who was not very smart also gave Lu Mingfei a sky-high scholarship that shocked her for a long time... As for Nono and Senior Sister, the aunt only remembered that there seemed to be two little girls who came to visit with them that day.

"Oh, Nono is the red-haired girl among those two, right?" The uncle was very impressed by the girls. "The other white-haired girl was called Aki, wasn't she? I remember she was a Japanese girl, and she looked quite quiet. I also remember that the girl named Nono was quite pretty and quirky. It turns out that Nono is Caesar's fiancée. She and Caesar really seem to be a good match."

"Thank you." Caesar smiled at his uncle and toasted him.

Lu Mingfei turned his gaze away and glanced at Lu Mingze. Sure enough, the boy was staring at Caesar blankly, his eyes wide open with an unconcealable fear in them, as if he had seen a ghost.

In fact, Lu Mingfei had long been unhappy with his fat cousin, because ever since he brought Eiry into this box, the fat boy's obscene eyes had been glued to Eiry, sometimes staring at Eiry's slender neck, sometimes at Eiry's warm back, and sometimes lowering his head to steal a glance at Eiry's graceful calves wrapped in stockings... It was as if his eyes wanted to peel off Eiry's clothes and peek directly at the girl's lively body, just like the way this kid stole a glance at Nuonuo two years ago.

But after hearing Caesar's identity, Lu Mingze no longer had the intention to peek at Eiry... Since Caesar is Senior Sister Nono's boyfriend, then isn't that the Italian mafia that Lu Mingfei had told him about?

It was similar to that. Lu Mingze had seen Italian gangster movies, and the high-ranking members of the mafia were all real aristocrats. They all looked gentle, polite and easy to talk to, but in fact, hidden beneath the lining of their exquisite suits were scarred bodies and extremely cruel hearts.

Generally speaking, the more decent guys appear in front of others, the more likely they are to have a heart like a mad dog. This Caesar looks so noble and imposing, but he must have a black heart like a jackal or beast!

No wonder this guy's biggest hobby is to dig out people's eyeballs to feed eagles. How twisted and perverted must his mentality be... Lu Mingze thought of this and was inadvertently glanced at by Caesar. The moment their eyes met, Lu Mingze trembled. He quickly shifted his gaze away, and even his eyeballs began to hurt slightly. Lu Mingze wanted to bury his head under the table like an ostrich, and even Eiry didn't dare to peek.

Caesar thought Lu Mingfei's cousin was very strange. For some reason, when Nono was mentioned, the little fat boy kept his eyes fixed on him. Then when he glanced at him, the boy shook like a plague god.

"Yes, Boss Caesar's fiancée is Senior Sister Nuonuo." Lu Mingfei told Mrs. Chen, "Senior Sister Nuonuo also comes from a big family in China. I don't know the details, but her family's business is quite big. She drives Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and the like."

Although they are all borrowed... Lu Mingfei added in his heart.

Mrs. Chen sighed deeply in her heart. It seemed that she could not count on this handsome classmate Caesar at all. It was true that such a gentleman and such a handsome man was naturally in high demand. Moreover, this Caesar was Italian. It was said that Italian men were all fickle. It would be unreasonable if he didn't have a girlfriend.

"It turns out that foreign countries are more open-minded than Chinese people. They're engaged before they even graduated from university." Mrs. Chen forced a smile again and turned her attention to Chu Zihang. "I heard that this student Chu also graduated from Shilan Middle School?"

"Yes, my senior was very famous at Shilan Middle School. He was awarded the "Three Good Students" award every year and was selected as an outstanding student representative." Lu Mingfei nodded. "The same thing happened when he came to Kassel College. He was the president of another student group at the school. Although their club is not as large as the Student Union, it has a longer history than the Student Union. It is the most original club in the school. Those who can be selected for his club are well-deserved elites among the students."

"Oh my, so isn't Mr. Chu the elite among the elites?" Mrs. Chen exclaimed, and looked at Chu Zihang a few more times. "No wonder he looks so handsome and talented!"

"Yes, senior brother is very elite. He has always been the number one in our undergraduate department. At such a young age, he has become the ace of our school's internship department." Lu Mingfei changed his words cleverly.

"Is Chu's family also in business?" Mrs. Chen asked casually, "What does his family do? Is his father an entrepreneur in our area? Maybe Old Chen knows him."

Lu Mingfei glanced at Chu Zihang, and after they exchanged glances, Lu Mingfei gave Madam Chen an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry, Senior Brother doesn't like to talk about family matters. I don't know what his father's business is, but he's always been very busy and has a pretty big business. His mother is an excellent dancer, and their family is quite harmonious."

"Sounds like a truly happy family." After some probing, Mrs. Chen finally revealed her true intentions. "Since Chu is so popular, there must be many families wanting to marry into his family, right? But Chu's family's requirements are probably quite high, huh?"

"His family doesn't have any requirements." Lu Mingfei thought for a moment. "Senior brother is quite capable of taking care of himself, so his family rarely restricts him. Besides, don't young people nowadays advocate freedom of marriage and love? There are very few arranged marriages anymore."

"Children these days are quite open-minded, unlike our generation," Mrs. Chen agreed, then calmly asked, "So, Mr. Chu isn't engaged yet?"

"No, we are not engaged." Lu Mingfei answered truthfully.

Mrs. Chen just breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could even smile, Lu Mingfei's next words made her feel like she was falling into an ice cave.

"But senior brother has a girlfriend." Lu Mingfei added lightly, even adding a few more pieces of firewood. "Senior brother's girlfriend is a junior sister from our Kassel College. She is beautiful, lively and has good grades. She was recognized as the freshman belle right after she enrolled. She was elected president of the freshman association within the first week of enrollment. But junior sister is not a vase at all. She is extremely talented in physics and geology. Even the old professors in our school who are half dead sometimes beg junior sister to be their research assistant. Whether she agrees depends on her expression and mood."

"Oh, right, I forgot to mention..." Lu Mingfei took a sip of red wine and added calmly, "Before we came to Japan, Junior Sister had already visited my Senior Brother's home. His mother likes Junior Sister very much and wanted to become sworn sisters with her. Junior Sister is also from our place. I see that Madam Chen is so interested in them. When we have a holiday, I can invite my uncle and aunt, my Senior Brother and Sister, and Madam Chen and your family to have a meal together."

"Haha...we'll talk about it when we have time." Mrs. Chen smiled and said a few perfunctory words.

Mrs. Chen lowered her head and casually took a few bites of the Wellington steak on the plate. The premium ox eye meat tasted bland in her mouth.

How could she even have the mood to have another dinner together after returning home! These young men were so outstanding, like glittering gems scattered on the ground before her eyes, but these outstanding boys all had their own families, and their girlfriends were also outstanding.

Mrs. Chen felt as if when she was about to bend down to pick up these dazzling gems, several young and beautiful female thieves suddenly jumped out from nowhere and looted all the gems. Mrs. Chen looked down again, and only emptiness and devastation were left.

Seeing Mrs. Chen like this, Lu Mingfei withdrew his gaze coldly, rolled up the pasta on the plate and began to eat seriously.

How could he not know Mrs. Chen's little thoughts? To be honest, he could understand the mother-in-law's way of choosing a son-in-law based on merit, but a daughter is not a commodity. Comparing without asking her own child's feelings was almost like "selling her daughter", which made Lu Mingfei feel a little disgusted.

However, what made Lu Mingfei feel most uncomfortable was not Mrs. Chen's snobbery, but her attitude towards his aunt.

It is true that aunt is quite snobbish, which Lu Mingfei has to admit, but at least aunt's family approached Director Chen's family with sincerity, traveling to Japan, staying in four-star hotels, and eating in Michelin-starred restaurants... Aunt is just an ordinary housewife. This middle-aged woman has never enjoyed these high-end things in her life, but she is willing to spend money to let other families enjoy all these for her children. On the one hand, you, Mrs. Chen, enjoy all this calmly, and on the other hand, you are picky about aunt's family, like riding a donkey to look for a better horse. How can Lu Mingfei stand it?

And no matter what, aunt is still a family member after all. Although this middle-aged woman is nagging, snobbish, and competitive... Lu Mingfei's relationship with his aunt is not stiff. He has been eating at his aunt's house for five years. Every grain of rice and every dish is made diligently by this woman around the stove. He is also used to listening to his aunt's nagging. It is impossible to say that there is no affection between Lu Mingfei and his aunt.

So even if this woman's personality is not so pleasing, it is not your turn as an outsider, Madam Chen, to look down on her. Lu Mingfei said so much, and what he wanted to tell Madam Chen is... If you really look down on your aunt's family, then the threshold of the real upper class is not something your family can afford!

How could my aunt, who is so meticulous that she can calculate how much money she will spend today before going to the vegetable market, not notice the hidden meaning and undercurrent in the conversation between Lu Mingfei and Madam Chen? On the one hand, she was slightly relieved that her nephew was protecting her family, but on the other hand, she was sad about Madam Chen's attitude. Madam Chen clearly meant that she was more interested in the other young talents at the table, and her son was just a backup.

Now the aunt no longer thinks that her nephew brought so many classmates to ruin her place. After seeing everything clearly, she just feels that the 50,000 yen donated to the Buddha in Sensoji Temple seems to be a bit not worth it.

At this time, the annoying waiter came in again and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, everyone. We have a lot of guests tonight, and we're running low on ingredients. We may not be able to make double portions of the following dishes."

My aunt was already feeling a bit upset. How could she possibly enjoy the meal if all the dishes weren't served? The waiter's words were like a bucket of gasoline poured on the flames. My aunt stood up in an instant.

"What do you mean? What's your restaurant's got going on? We've all come here, and you're just saying you can't serve us anymore? What's going on? Are you going to leave us hungry?" Auntie crossed her arms and questioned him. "You don't think we can't afford it, do you? Huh? I'm telling you, I only patronized you because you sent me a half-off coupon on my phone! Even if you serve us double, I'll still have to pay full price. Do you think I can't afford full price? Do you think we're easy to bully just because we're Chinese tourists?"

The waiter complained in his heart, he thought, isn't it because you guys keep adding so many people to the private room that there isn't enough food tonight? Who dares to bully you like this: special guests, our restaurant has a reputation to maintain... The waiter was suddenly stunned.

"Half-price coupon?" The waiter frowned slightly. "What half-price coupon?"

Seeing that the waiter still refused to admit his promise, my aunt was so angry that her nose was about to be crooked. She quickly took out her mobile phone, opened the page with the half-price coupon and handed it to the waiter.

"This... isn't our restaurant's official page." The waiter's frown deepened. "Our restaurant has a stable reputation and customer base. We never run these kinds of rogue ads on mobile phones. Furthermore, we've had an especially high volume of customers in recent weeks, and demand has always outstripped supply. There's no way we can even talk about half-price coupons."

"You're kidding! Are you refusing to pay because so many of us showed up? Are you worried your restaurant will suffer a loss?" Auntie's fingers were about to poke the phone screen. "Then what's with this half-price coupon?"

Chapter 463 The Master of the Uesugi Family

"Maybe... your phone is infected with a virus." The waiter was not sure.

"Who are you trying to fool? You think we're easy to fool just because we're tourists from other places?" Auntie's voice rose, and she was about to lose her composure. "What's that look in your eyes? You don't think I came to your restaurant with a half-off coupon to take advantage of you, do you? It was clearly your restaurant that sent the coupon to my phone online, and now you're denying it? Do you really think we Chinese tourists are easy to bully? I'm telling you, China is now strong and has a say in the international arena. If your restaurant goes back on its word like this, I can definitely sue you at the Consumers' Association of Japan!"

Seeing the middle-aged woman's arrogant and unreasonable attitude, the waiter's patience was gradually worn out. He originally felt that the guests in this private room were very difficult to deal with. When they first arrived, each group said that they had booked the seats, and when they met, they said that they knew each other, causing a misunderstanding, and then asked for another table to make a big table. The waiter had been patiently trying his best to meet these guests' strange requests, but now this weird guest actually took out a "half-price coupon", which made the waiter feel absurd.

He was very sure that their restaurant "Ristorante Honda" had never issued any half-price coupons since its opening, and they rarely even had online promotions. Now this customer was inexplicably bringing up the half-price coupons and looked like he wouldn't listen to reason. The waiter had no authority to deal with the situation at hand. Even if the waiter didn't want to alarm the manager, he could only ask his superiors for instructions to resolve the issue.

"Call your manager over here." Caesar suddenly spoke from the corner of the table. He looked at the waiter and said, "Have your manager come and talk to me personally."

The waiter had already lost his patience due to a series of irregularities and the aunt's unreasonable attitude. Now hearing Caesar's condescending tone, he couldn't help but was about to explode, but suddenly he looked up and met Caesar's eyes.

Those ice-blue eyes were like noble sapphires, with a hint of gold in the depths of the eyes. The waiter subconsciously thought that a person with such a pair of eyes should be high and mighty. Recalling that Caesar's tone was so unyielding, the waiter bent down and bowed, then hurried off to ask the manager.

A few minutes later, the manager and the waiter strode in. As soon as the manager entered the box, he saw the tables put together and ten people sitting around them. The manager's brows furrowed involuntarily.

"I'm sorry, but Ristorante Honda doesn't offer any 50%-off coupons, and we haven't since we opened. If you were deceived by false information online, we have no reason to assume your losses," the manager said sternly. "Also, you reserved a medium-sized premium room, but the number of people here far exceeds the capacity of a medium-sized room. This is clearly against restaurant rules. If an official Michelin inspector happens to be in the restaurant at this time, your behavior will undoubtedly cause considerable trouble for our restaurant."

Perhaps because he had heard the waiter's exaggerated description of the box on the old trip, the manager's attitude was a little tough at this moment.

"If the inspector were in the store right now, would you tell him the truth about the mistakes your restaurant made in receiving guests?" Caesar calmly took a sip of red wine.

"What do you mean?" The manager frowned. "Did we make a mistake in receiving the guest? I remember you, didn't you personally reserve this exclusive room with me yesterday? A guest came to our restaurant to cancel their reservation, and you helped me out, so I transferred the restaurant reservation to you. Is there any problem with our reception of the guest?"

"It's not you who has the problem, it's your waiter." Caesar looked at the waiter behind the manager. "I reserved the box yesterday under the name 'Sakure.Lu'. Does the manager remember?"

The manager nodded.

"But today, 'Sakure.Lu' was the last to arrive." Caesar pointed at Lu Mingfei, then at his uncle. "The first to arrive was another Mr. Lu, but your waiter didn't check the full name or confirm the number of people dining. Maybe there aren't many Chinese tourists in your restaurant, so after confirming the last name, he hurriedly ushered him into the private room, right? Isn't this a dereliction of duty on your part?"

The manager turned his head and looked at the waiter with a questioning look. The waiter shrank his neck and looked guilty. The manager immediately understood that what Caesar said was right. He scolded the waiter severely in front of everyone, and then bowed to everyone in the box to apologize.

"This was indeed an oversight on the part of Ristorante Honda, and I'm deeply sorry. To compensate you, the restaurant is willing to waive all of your drinks and accompaniments tonight." The manager changed the subject, "However, we're running low on ingredients tonight. To ensure freshness, we prepare the amount of food for the number of people who booked with us every day. You originally reserved a medium-sized private room, but the number of people who showed up far exceeded the limit. To ensure that the guests at other tables can dine normally, we can't accommodate your request for double servings. Furthermore, regarding the half-price coupons, the restaurant can't offer any discounts beyond the stated limits..."
