"No more private rooms?"

Lu Tianxing frowned slightly, "Wife, what do you think?"
"Then letās just eat in the main hall. Hello, please prepare a spot for us." Bai Zhiqing said with a smile.
"Please follow me."
The waiter glanced at Bai Zhiqing, a look of amazement flashing in his eyes, then quickly lowered his head and led the two towards a table.
The waiter led Lu Tianxing to a table to sit down, then took out two menus and handed them to Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing, "Sir, Miss, what would you like to order?"
Lu Tianxing didnāt speak, just looked at Bai Zhiqing.
Bai Zhiqing nodded, took the menu, looked it over, and said, "Weāll have your signature dish, steamed Yangcheng Lake hairy crab, and also squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, cherry pork, Taihu Water Shield soup, and sizzling eel paste..."
Bai Zhiqing ordered five or six dishes native to Suzhou in one go. After spending a long time with Lu Tianxing, she was well aware of how big his appetite was. Six or seven dishes were just right.
"Alright, letās just start with these dishes!"
Bai Zhiqing nodded at the waiter.
"Okay, sir and miss, please wait a moment."
The waiter gave a puzzled look at Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing, somewhat unable to understand why the two of them ordered so many dishes but still nodded and headed to the kitchen.
Just as Bai Zhiqing and Lu Tianxing finished ordering and were waiting for the chef to serve, a Bugatti Veyron roared its engine domineeringly from afar, completely ignoring the no-parking sign at the entrance, and stopped right at the restaurantās main door.
Then the car door opened, first with a long, beautiful leg stretched out from inside, followed by a beautiful, curvy woman coming down from the car.
This woman was very pretty, tall, and voluptuous, comparable to a model, extremely eye-catching, but this woman gave an uncomfortable feeling. Her proud face and eyes carried a high and mighty aura, her whole being exuding a domineering and arrogant vibe, making it hard for people to like her at first sight.
After this woman got out of the car, she headed straight into the restaurant.
When she entered the restaurant and heard the noisy sound inside, the woman frowned without hiding her disdainful expression. Her eyes swept around, and when she saw where Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing were sitting, her face instantly turned cold, and she immediately walked towards Bai Zhiqing.
At this moment, Bai Zhiqing was casually chatting with Lu Tianxing.
"Lu Tianxing, are you really sure about going to the Lu Family this time?"
Lu Tianxing gently smiled, "Wife, donāt worry. If Old Master Lu is really my grandfather, he wouldnāt let other members of the Lu Family deal with me. If Old Master Lu isnāt my grandfather, then what does the Lu Familyās rivalry have to do with me? Relax, thereās nothing to worry about."
"Itās better to be a bit cautious. Recently, Iāve been feeling uneasy. Itās better to be careful," Bai Zhiqing sighed and said.
Just then, the domineering woman approached, looking at Bai Zhiqing, and said, "Oh, isnāt this Chairman Bai? Why arenāt you staying in your Modu properly and came to Suzhou instead?"
Hearing this abrupt voice, Bai Zhiqing raised her head, and when she saw the tall woman, her face immediately turned cold.
Lu Tianxing, on the other hand, just stared at the tableware on the table, never once lifting his head to look at the woman behind him. He believed Bai Zhiqing could handle this, and if she couldnāt, then it would be his turn to step in.
"Zhou Siyu, so itās you. Are you looking for trouble again? You lost to me back then, and now you want to come and cause me problems? Arenāt you afraid of losing again?"
Bai Zhiqing coldly stared at the woman named Zhou Siyu in front of her, her gaze carrying a hint of disdain. She and Zhou Siyu could be considered old acquaintances. Zhou Siyu once had a company in Modu, while she had just begun managing Baiās Group and made it thrive. Zhou Siyu came to her wanting to buy shares in Baiās Group, but she refused her.
Usually, in business, a failed deal doesnāt affect the relationship. Business naturally has successes and rejections, but Zhou Siyu didnāt see it that way. She thought Bai Zhiqingās rejection was intended to embarrass her. After returning to her company, Zhou Siyu became increasingly angry and united several companies under hers, trying to corner Baiās Group and force Bai Zhiqing to beg her, then thoroughly humiliate Bai Zhiqing.
That battle was arguably the toughest one Bai Zhiqing faced while managing Baiās Group, nearly being swallowed by Zhou Siyu. But after overcoming numerous challenges, Baiās Group survived the ordeal.
Zhou Siyuās company spent a vast amount of money to fight Baiās Group, resulting in a financial break. Coupled with the resignation of a vice president and exposure of numerous company scandals, Zhou Siyuās company was directly investigated and sealed by the relevant departments. Zhou Siyu, like a dog with its tail between its legs, slinked away from Modu.
Yet, Bai Zhiqing never expected she would run into Zhou Siyu here today.
"Bai Zhiqing, you think you won? If I hadnāt been careless and underestimated your strength back then, you wouldāve been on your knees begging for mercy long ago."
Upon hearing Bai Zhiqingās words, Zhou Siyuās face turned a bit nasty, her voice becoming shrill.
Seeing Bai Zhiqing and Zhou Siyuās exchange, the surrounding guests immediately paused their meals, curiously looking towards Lu Tianxingās spot.
Meanwhile, the restaurantās waiters were at a loss about how to handle this situation. They recognized Zhou Siyu as being from the Zhou Family in Suzhou. The Zhou Family held significant power in Suzhou, far beyond what they, as mere waiters, could provoke.
A quick-witted waiter, seeing Zhou Siyu and Bai Zhiqing confront each other, immediately ran upstairs. Zhou Siyu belonged to the Zhou Family, and Bai Zhiqingās appearance clearly showed she wasnāt an ordinary person. This issue wasnāt something the crew of waiters could involve themselves in, they had to inform the manager.
After hearing Zhou Siyuās words, Bai Zhiqing sneered, "Back then? Zhou Siyu, you know it was back then. A good man doesnāt boast of past glories. You say you underestimated my strength back then, but if it had been a life-or-death battle, do you think youād still have the chance to stand here and talk to me?"
Upon hearing Bai Zhiqingās words, Zhou Siyuās face immediately turned sour, dark as water.
Regardless, she was the eldest daughter of the Zhou Family, one of the families in Suzhou. From childhood to adulthood, no one ever dared to smirk at her. Now, being so mocked by Bai Zhiqing, her eyes instantly filled with rage.
