However, in the current situation, the Xu family members had already lost their appetites. Xu Tian coughed twice and said, “Since my mother has a headache, we’ll go back now.”

When Liu Xiao heard what Xu Tian said, she sat up and pointed at him as she roared, “You coward! Your wife has already been beaten up like this! You don’t even want to protect me! You’re covering up for this little whore!”

Before she could finish speaking, Li Gui gave Liu Xiao two more slaps and said disdainfully, “Watch your mouth!”

“Shut up! Haven’t you embarrassed yourself enough!” Xu Tian said as he looked at Liu Xiao.

The Xu family members left the private room one after another. Xu Chun quickly helped Liu Xiao up from the ground as all the onlookers made way for the Xu family members. Xu Ba stood where he was and did not make any move to leave. He felt that he needed to explain the situation today to Li Gui.

“I’m sorry, my sister-in-law is usually not like this. This is also the first time I’ve seen her so ?so rude. I apologize on her behalf,” Xu Ba said sincerely.

Qiao Mei pulled up a chair casually and sat down, saying, “All her limbs are intact and she isn’t handicapped in any way. She can offer up her own apologies and doesn’t need you to do it on her behalf. Mr. Xu, do you have anything else to say? If you don’t leave now, I’m afraid you won’t be able to keep up with your mother and the rest of your family.”

Li Gui stood next to Qiao Mei and did not speak. What Qiao Mei said was what she wanted to say.

“Don’t take it to heart. We’re a family. Moreover, even without your issue, the Xu family won’t let us off so easily. It’s better for things to flare up earlier,” Qiao Mei said.

She was a little touched by the way Meng Yuan had stepped forward to protect her just now. Although she would introduce Meng Yuan as Xia Zhe’s younger brother, they had only known each other for less than two months. They still spoke to each other formally and were not as close as real family members.

Now that Meng Yuan had protected Qiao Mei without a second thought, Qiao Mei felt that Meng Yuan and her were like real family members!

“I’ll clean up this private room shortly. You and your colleagues can come inside to have your meal. It’s my treat. Don’t reject me!” Qiao Mei said.

“Thank you, Third Sister-in-law!” Meng Yuan said with a smile.

Qiao Mei was about to go to the kitchen to help Li Gui when she was stopped by one of the security officers at the door. The security officer whispered, “Boss Qiao, there are some people outside. It’s Boss Li’s family.”

She did not expect the Li family to still be in the capital. It looked like they still had a lot of money. It was not cheap to stay in a guest house in the capital! However, they had come at the right time! Qiao Mei needed their help with something!

“Ask them to come to my private room.” After saying that, Qiao Mei walked towards the private room at the far end of the second floor.

Qiao Mei had specially reserved this private room for important guests and her own family. Li Gui’s restaurant was doing very well at the moment. The first floor was for ordinary customers and the second floor was for customers from well-to-do families, businessmen and some government leaders. The restaurant was packed every day and all the private rooms were already fully booked until next month.

In order to avoid the situation of not having the use of a private room, Qiao Mei specially reserved one for herself.
