Zhang Qian still refused to admit defeat and wanted to go forward again to hit Zhang Wei. Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang, who were hiding behind the door, blocked Zhang Qian’s way. Da Zhuang said rudely, “If you dare to touch our young masters and young ladies, you’d better be prepared to pay a painful price for it.”

“I’ll just stand right here! This isn’t your territory! What can you do to me when I’m just standing on the street?” Zhang Qian said.

“The land you’re stepping on belongs to our Young Madam. As long as you’re still on our family’s property, it’s considered trespassing. If you don’t leave, you’ll get beaten up. Our Young Madam has many properties. You have to tread carefully,” Da Zhuang said.

After confirming that Zhang Qian and Zhang Chao would not come in again, Zhang Wei and Zhang Chao hurriedly returned to the private room on the second floor. As soon as they entered, they saw Old Madam Li weeping and saying, “Oh my, my good grandsons! You’ve really suffered! How can you have such a father! Fortunately, he’s no longer your father! Grandma will dote on you well.”

The four children instantly felt overwhelmed. They had just chased their biological father away and now their biological grandmother was putting on an act. There was really no end to it.

Seeing that the four children looked indifferent to her, Old Madam Li immediately asked, “Don’t you remember your grandmother? I’m the one who brought you up when you were young!”

“Of course I won’t forget my grandmother! My grandmother said that we’re all good-for-nothings, useless things and that we’re beasts. She said that my sister and I shouldn’t live in this world and cause trouble for other people. She also said that my elder sister is a bear spirit and that my elder sister even eats humans!” Zhang Qin was expressionless as she rattled off what Old Madam Li had said in the past.

Old Madam Li immediately blushed and said, “I didn’t say such things! You must have remembered wrongly! How can you remember so many things when you were so young then?”

Zhang Qin shrugged her shoulders indifferently. In any case, she was just repeating everything that she could remember from back then. As for this grandmother, she had no feelings for this old woman at all. The four children did not care about who their grandmother was. In their hearts, their only relatives were their elder sister, mother and grandfather.

Even when Old Madam Li saw that the children were indifferent to her, she did not feel anxious. She looked at Li Gui and said, “Fourth daughter, there’s not enough food here. Serve us a few more dishes. We haven’t had a proper meal since we reached the capital! We’re all starving!”

“That’s right, Fourth Sister! Your sister-in-law is pregnant! She needs more nutrition. Serve her some bird’s nest and other types of nourishing food!” Li Dong said, not feeling shy at all.

Li Gui pursed her lips in disdain. They even dared to ask for some bird’s nest. Why not ask for abalone, sea cucumbers and hairy crabs as well? Why not ask the chef to fry them a plate of gold?

Even though Li Gui was making so much money now, she also could not bear to eat bird’s nest every day. At most, she would eat it once a month!

“This place is not open for business yet. You should go and eat in another restaurant,” Li Gui said sternly.

“Isn’t this a restaurant? You’ve already prepared so many dishes. Why can’t you just cook a bit more?” Old Madam Li said as she pointed at the empty plates on the table.

Li Gui could hear a job applicant talking downstairs and started to feel a little anxious. She could not possibly have a big fight with this group of scoundrels from the Li family in front of a job applicant. Otherwise, how was she going to manage the restaurant staff in the future? If news of this matter got out, would anyone still be willing to work for her in the future?

“You can’t eat here.” After saying that, Li Gui turned around to look at Qiao Mei and said, “Help me interview the applicant first and get her to write down her contact details. I’ll take a look when I’m back. I’ll bring them out for a meal now.”

“Alright, don’t worry,” Qiao Mei said.

Qiao Mei was very satisfied with Li Gui’s actions. Li Gui was becoming more and more assertive now. This was definitely much better than the weak and useless person she was in the past.

Li Gui could not just chase her biological mother and brothers away. After all, this group of people from the Li family was still different from Zhang Qian. She decided to bring them out for a few meals and pay for their stay at a hotel for a few days. Then, she would buy them each a train ticket and send them back. This was the best that she could do.

“Why do we need to go somewhere else! I’m already so old! I can’t walk anymore! Don’t think that I can’t see anything. There’s a big piece of meat hanging in your kitchen! I want to eat here!” Old Madam Li shouted furiously.
