Changing the restaurant

The night time was the busiest in the city, citizens were coming and going to the malls and shopping.

As the most famous and expensive restaurant in Shanghai, the Heavenly Palace already had many customers inside the restaurant. This was possible to know because of the large number of cars in the parking lot.

Liu Yang and Xie Xinyue drove to the restaurant, as a young lady from the Xie clan, Xie Xinyue had several private drivers. She called one to take her and Liu Yang to the restaurant.

Arriving at the place, they did not attract much attention from others because the car was also luxurious.

When the couple arrived at the entrance, they were met by a beautiful attendant wearing a tight Chinese dress. Her curves were enlarged because of the dress.

"Good night, young master and young miss. Do you have any restaurant reservations? " The attendant asked politely. She showed the couple a beautiful smile after asking.

"Yes, we have a reservation in the name of Xie Mu" Xie Xinyue spoke her father's name, since he made the reservation.

"Miss, wait a minute and I'll check the system" The attendant looked at the computer for a few moments before showing a strange look.

"Attendant, is there a problem?" Liu Yang saw the attendant's strange face and asked.

"Yes. I looked in the system, the reservation was made last week, but for some reason. The room reserved by Mr. Xie has been canceled. Miss, could you confirm for me if Mr. Xie canceled the reservation? " The attendant was surprised by this situation, as it was rare for someone to cancel a reservation at the Heavenly Palace.

"It seems that no, otherwise, my father would have warned me in advance. I'll call him ... My parents are already coming to the Heavenly Palace, they texted me now. Look "Xie Xinyue thought this situation was strange. If her parents did not cancel the reservation, who canceled?

"I apologize for this situation, but it looks like something has happened. I will ask the manager about this, he should know. I apologize for the inconvenience. "The attendant bowed before calling anyone.

"Manager, the people who booked room XXX are here at the entrance, but when I looked at the system, it looks like the reservation was canceled and they said they didn't cancel. Manager, do you know anything?" The attendant asked politely, despite being curious about this matter. This was something she had no right to interfere with.

"I understood. They are still here waiting. I thank the manager for that "The attendant hung up after discovering the situation.

"The manager said that he is coming here to explain the situation. I apologize for the inconvenience "

"Okay, don't worry about it," Liu Yang said casually, but internally, he felt disgusted by the restaurant for doing something like that. How can they cancel customers' reservations without their knowing it? This was something that should not be done under any circumstances.

In Liu Yang's mind, the Heavenly Palace restaurant has been excluded from his places of visit, he will never enter that restaurant again unless it is extremely necessary. Apart from that exception, Liu Yang would never enter this restaurant again in the future.

The manager appeared a few moments later, he was a fat man wearing a suit. He looked like a ball using a piece of cloth. When the manager looked at Xie Xinyue, he couldn't help but fix his eyes for a few moments before realizing that she was holding hands with Liu Yang.

"Dear customers, my name is Lu Huang, I am the manager of the Heavenly Palace. I apologize for what happened, but someone else wanted your private room. We tried to argue that the room was already booked, but that person didn't want to hear us, and we could only cancel your reservation. I apologize for the inconvenience. And as the other rooms were already booked too, there is no more space in the restaurant until next week "The manager spoke with a courteous tone, as he knew that the people who visited the restaurant were from powerful and influential clans. But each of them had different influences.

The person, who wanted the room reserved by was from Xie Xinyue, belongs to one of these five clans. Because of this, the manager chose the other side and canceled Xie Mu's reservation to allocate the room to the other person. For the clan on the other side was a little more powerful than the Xie clan.

"I see ... This is no problem" Unlike Xie Xinyue who was extremely irritated by this situation, Liu Yang spoke casually, it seemed that he was not caring about it.

Internally, Liu Yang reinforced the thought of never returning to the Heavenly Palace, unless it was a major emergency.

"Honey, come on. Call the in-laws and tell them that we are going to another restaurant. "Liu Yang pulled Xie Xinyue when she noticed that the weather started to cool and heat up at the same time. She was losing control of her emotions.

"Yes let's go. I'll call "Xie Xinyue squeezed Liu Yang's hand firmly, she was calming down so as not to release her anger.

The couple got back in the car and decided to go to another restaurant. The driver was surprised after finding out what had happened.

What manager Lu Huang did not know was that he would bitterly regret the decision he made today.

The restaurant that Liu Yang, Xie Xinyue and her parents went to was on the other side of town. The four meet in the restaurant's parking lot.

The couple was happy to be able to see Liu Yang again after so many years.

"Liu Yang, you grew up" Xie Mu was a middle-aged man with a handsome and cheerful face. He was happy to be able to meet Liu Yang.

"Liu Yang, you look like your father when you were younger." Xie Xinyue's mother spoke. She was also a middle-aged woman, but because of the light makeup, she looked younger.

"I thank uncle and aunt for the invitation"

"Liu Yang, how are your parents? Are they okay? I haven't heard from them in several months "Xie Mu asked worriedly.

"Can we talk while we eat?" Liu Yang did not want to talk about this issue openly.

"Okay," The group walked to the restaurant's entrance.

The restaurant's name was Heavenly Garden, a rival and competitor of the Heavenly Palace.

Unlike the Heavenly Palace, the place did not have so many luxury cars, but the weather was more pleasant and calm. The lights and decorations in the restaurant were not as extravagant as in the Heavenly Palace, but it was pleasant to see. The sign at the entrance had the golden letters: Heavenly Garden.

At the entrance was a beautiful young woman wearing tight clothes behind a small counter, two meters away on the left and right, were four burly men in suits and ties. She was the receptionist while the four were security guards.

"Good night, do you have a reservation? Or do you prefer to have a table or a free room? " The attendant spoke courteously.

"We would like a free room," Xie Mu said.

"Currently, we have four vacant rooms. You can choose any room you like "The attendant showed on the computer.

"We want this one" Xie Mu pointed to one of the rooms overlooking the window.

"Yes, sir. How many people do you need? "

"Four"

"Take this, this is your identification. The table is already prepared. I hope you enjoy your stay here in the Heavenly Garden "The attendant handed over the nameplate of the room before bowing to the four.

The four entered and went up to the third floor. When they appeared on the floor, a waiter looked at the sign and led the group into the reserved room.

When the group entered the room, they already smelled a faint sweet smell. The weather was pleasant, neither cold nor hot.

Liu Yang was surprised at the quality of things inside the room, everything was high quality and expensive.

(This is worthy of being one of the most expensive restaurants in the city. Not everyone can afford it) Liu Yang thought.

The room had a television, a large table with four chairs around it, air conditioning and a beautiful view of the city at night. There were already four bowls with spoons and chopsticks on the table, some snacks and tea had already been prepared and a menu was in the middle of the table.

"Liu Yang, is there anything you would like to eat? You can order what you want from the menu. " Xie Mu spoke casually, he didn't mind letting Liu Yang eat whatever he wanted.

"Uncle, I think you shouldn't say something like that to me," Liu Yang said awkwardly.

"Liu Yang, why do you say that?"

"Uncle, you will see when I ask"

Tock… Tock…

"Dear customers. Have you decided what you are going to eat? " A young woman dressed in tight clothes came into the room, she was there to catch orders.

"I would like some seafood, pork, and soup. And you honey?"

"I would like to order some vegetable dishes. What are you two going to eat? "

"I would like tofu soup and some more seafood."

"Liu Yang, what do you want to eat? Don't be shy, you can choose what you want from the menu "

"If the uncle insists, I will not hold back. I would like to order this, plus this ... "Liu Yang ordered all the dishes on the menu.

Xie Xinyue, her parents and the attendant were scared when they saw Liu Yang do this, they could not believe he had done this. They were even skeptical that he would be able to eat all that.

"Liu Yang, are you kidding me? Will you be able to eat all that? " Xie Mu asked strangely.

"Uncle, I said it would be a problem for you to let me ask for what I wanted. Because of my training method, I need to ingest large amounts of energy. Normally I eat some pills to restore my energy, but as my uncle asked me to eat, I haven't eaten a pill yet "Liu Yang said embarrassingly.

Liu Yang only started doing this after Nightshade gave him a gift. The gift was a special technique to strengthen a mage's physical body, unlike normal methods of strengthening such as using medicinal fluids. The Nightshade method used the pain of wounds to heal the body.

In other words, Liu Yang needed to hurt himself a lot for his body to be healed. This was the technique cycle.

However, the technique had a side effect. Energy, the user of the technique needs to have a large amount of energy inside the body to make the healing after the wounds of the body. Because of this, Liu Yang started to eat a lot, could be it food or medicinal pills with large amounts of energy.
