Chapter 221 - 221 Small Chaos
221 Small Chaos
Just as Kong Rui felt that there would be no other useful information, there was suddenly movement in the private room.
Kong Rui’s expression changed and she glanced in the direction of the private room.
As expected, Li Han appeared at the door of the private room again.
She turned around and bowed to the person in the private room. Then, she turned around and walked towards the door of the teahouse with Xiao Cui.
Kong Rui tried her best but still didn’t see the other person in the private room.
Kong Rui frowned as she picked up another tea cake to take a bite. “I don’t believe you won’t come out!”
“Miss, you don’t like this pastry? Should I get the waiter to change it?” Ling Nuo noticed that Kong Rui’s mood was gloomy and immediately asked.
When Kong Rui heard Ling Nuo’s words, she suddenly had an idea and turned to look at him.
Ling Nuo felt that something was wrong with Kong Rui’s gaze. Before he could ask, Kong Rui waved at him.
Ling Nuo had an ominous feeling about Kong Rui’s summoning. However, since Young Master asked him to serve Miss, he had to listen to everything Miss said.
Ling Nuo gritted his teeth and placed his ear close to Kong Rui’s mouth.
“You…” As Kong Rui whispered to Ling Nuo, she glanced in the direction of the private room from time to time.
Ling Nuo’s mouth dropped agape. He didn’t know why this lady had so many strange thoughts.
Although Ling Nuo didn’t understand what Kong Rui wanted to do, he still accepted Kong Rui’s order obediently and prepared to “perform”.
After Ling Nuo walked away from Kong Rui and took a few steps towards the counter, he slapped the tabletop. “Waiter! Come here!”
The waiter was startled and immediately ran over to Ling Nuo. “Young master, what can I do for you?”
Ling Nuo looked angry. “Tianxiang Restaurant is known as the number one teahouse in the Imperial Capital, but you actually sold inferior tea to customers! Do you want the business to close down?”
“Huh? Why do you say that?” The waiter looked aggrieved and at a loss as he looked around.
Sure enough, after hearing Ling Nuo’s words, some customers also complained loudly.
“I was wondering why the tea tasted so bad today. Turns out it’s actually tea of inferior quality!”
“That’s right! The tea today tastes really different from usual. I thought it was a new type of tea, but it’s actually inferior quality tea?”
…
These voices of doubt made the waiter panic.
He pressed his palms together and bowed to the customers who were complaining. Then, he looked in Ling Nuo’s direction and begged, “Young Master, don’t make things difficult for me. This is legitimate imported tea. How can it be inferior quality tea?”
Ling Nuo snorted and grabbed the teapot on the table. Then, he reached out and took out a handful of tea leaves.
The tea leaves were slightly green in color and had a faint tea fragrance. It looked like common high-grade tea.
However, when Ling Nuo spread out the tea leaves for everyone to see, they saw that there were actually several tea stems on each tea leaf.
This kind of tea leaves might be considered medium-high-grade in ordinary teahouses, but in Tianxiang Restaurant, it was really a joke.
After Ling Nuo then pinched it gently with his hand, the tea leaf shattered into dregs. It didn’t have the tenacity of high-grade tea leaves.
“You still dare to say that this is high-grade tea?” Ling Nuo questioned sternly. The expression on his face was that of someone who couldn’t stand unscrupulous merchants.
With Ling Nuo’s commotion, the teahouse immediately became noisy.
Many customers slammed the table and asked the waiter what was going on.
Someone even smashed the tea cups and asked the boss to come out to explain.
The waiter was shocked. He had never encountered such a situation before. Moreover, the boss wasn’t in the shop, so he was really at a loss.
The situation in the hall became more and more intense. As the two women stopped talking and watched the scene in front of them, they seemed to have plans to leave.
Kong Rui sat at the table quietly. From their hesitant and indignant expressions, she knew that these two hadn’t come to Tianxiang Restaurant by chance.
It seemed that their target might also be the person in the private room…
Kong Rui had originally planned to take advantage of the chaos to walk around the door of the private room. Unexpectedly, before she could move, the woman in the orange dress had already sneakily approached.
Kong Rui raised her eyebrows. She didn’t expect someone to be even more anxious than her!
