Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 546 Looking for Faults (2)_1
Yu Zijin, Shangguan You, and their party occasionally chatted and laughed, while Bai Qiangwei’s group also sipped their drinks from time to time.
"Chaoyang Hotel is nothing special, after all. I thought it would be something remarkable. HMPH, these dishes, this taste... they dare to serve this?" Ye An picked up her chopsticks, took a bite of the food, and immediately spat it out. Her face was full of scorn as she spoke, instantly chilling the previously cheerful atmosphere in the room. Everyone’s gaze focused on Ye An.
A flash of anger crossed Yu Zijin’s face. The cuisine of Chaoyang Hotel is among the best in Beijing; who is this Ye An to be so picky and critical? Just as Yu Zijin was about to speak, Shangguan You tugged at her clothes. Yu Zijin swallowed her anger and remained silent.
"HEHE, Miss Ye doesn’t seem fond of the food here. It appears the hotel is indeed at fault. Since Miss Ye dislikes these dishes, how about I arrange another table specially for you, one that will certainly satisfy your palate? What do you think, Miss Ye?" Shangguan You asked with a faint smile, a cold light flickering in her deep eyes.
"HMPH, serving such trash! Are they trying to cater to beggars?" Ye An scoffed, her face full of provocation as she looked at Shangguan You.
"Chaoyang Hotel may not be like the Ye Family, which conducts business around the globe and caters to the needs of billions. If these dishes don’t appeal to Miss Ye, then we won’t insist. We will prepare different dishes for Miss Ye and Mr. Ye."
"HMPH, that’s more like it. Otherwise, I’ll make sure to smash Chaoyang Hotel’s signboard." Hearing Shangguan You mention the Ye Family and offer another table, the corners of Ye An’s mouth turned up in satisfaction. The Ye Family... everyone knows the Ye Family!
"Someone, please escort Miss Ye to the private room next door to rest. I wonder if anyone else here dislikes these dishes and would also like to move to the adjacent private room?" Shangguan You said indifferently, her gaze sweeping over the others.
"Indeed, if Miss Ye isn’t keen, we won’t force her or Mr. Ye. You can go to the side room to rest. Is there anyone else who would like to join them?" Lin Wenjie interjected with a frown. Though he didn’t understand Shangguan You’s intentions, he supported her unconditionally.
"Didn’t you hear Miss Shangguan? Escort these two next door to rest, and make sure to present them with the hotel’s finest offerings!" Yu Zijin commanded sharply. A nearby waiter, quick on his feet, approached Ye An and Ye Min, respectfully inviting them to the adjacent private room.
"HMPH, I hope Chaoyang Hotel has more to offer than this," Ye An sniffed disdainfully, rising with a swagger and heading for the private room. Her words made the waiter’s expression change. This was the first guest to complain about their food and the first to cause such a scene at the table.
"Have the manager take good care of those two inside. Bring out the best the hotel has to offer and make sure to meet their demands," Ye Zijin instructed, giving the manager a look. He respectfully withdrew.
"Brother Wenjie, try this. It’s quite good." Shangguan You’s lips curved into a slight smile. I arranged good food and drink for you. If you don’t want it, then don’t blame me for being discourteous. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
"Mm, these dishes may not appeal to Miss Ye, but I think they’re quite good. At least they’re healthy," Lin Wenjie remarked with a light chuckle, accepting the food Shangguan You offered and eating it.
"Mm, I also think it’s pretty good," Zhuge Feng nodded and began to eat. He supported Shangguan You wholeheartedly, always agreeing with her decisions.
"I also find it quite nice. Miss Ye’s taste is too sophisticated; this place is more to my liking," Bai Muxue said with a faint smile, having no interest in joining the Ye Family’s commotion.
"It’s all right. Come on, everyone, let’s drink! We shouldn’t waste such good wine."
The previously disrupted atmosphere was restored.
Li Zhaohong had also intended to cause a scene, but seeing Ye An stir up trouble first and then get escorted to another room, she was happy to watch the drama unfold. Duan Yingyan, on the other hand, focused on her meal; she had never tasted such delicious food before.
Yang Xiu and Chen Xu naturally felt the same. Only an idiot would criticize the taste of these dishes, and besides, we can’t let our junior schoolmate lose face.
After finishing their meal in their private room, the group moved to the top floor. Aside from dining, plenty of other activities were available there.
As she left, Shangguan You’s lips curled into a smirk. She glanced at Ye An and Ye Min in their new private room, hoping they would relish the ’feast’ she had prepared for them.
After the main group departed, waitstaff quickly cleared the tables. Soon, a waiter entered Ye An and Ye Min’s room carrying their specially prepared food. "Miss Ye, Mr. Ye," he announced, setting down the dishes, "this is our hotel’s newly introduced Ice Water Banquet. Please enjoy your meal at your leisure." Inside the small private room, the hotel manager also spoke politely to them as the dishes were served.
Each dish looked meticulously crafted, and the vibrant colors on the table made Ye An nod in approval. The sight of the food was indeed appetizing, and she unreservedly picked up her chopsticks to take small bites.
More dishes continued to arrive. After Ye An had tasted three of them, the rest were served in covered silver dishes. Finally, even a small, elegant stove with a tiny pot was placed on the table.
"The dishes are all served, Mr. Ye, Miss Ye. Please enjoy," the last waiter said before they all filed out, pointedly not lifting any lids. Ye An’s expression instantly turned frosty.
"I’ll do it," Ye Min offered, seeing her cold expression. He stood up and began uncovering the dishes, one after another. His normal facial expression turned ashen as he saw what lay beneath the lids.
The dishes included fried dragonflies, crispy fried bees and bee pupae, yellow mealworms stir-fried with corn, silkworm pupa spring rolls, dragonflies mixed with peanuts, and deep-fried yellow mealworms. But that wasn’t all. The table was soon laden with dozens more insect-based delicacies: tree grubs, caterpillars, various fleshy grubs, maggots, bean hornworms, and even ground beetles—some still wriggling, others cooked.
