Shen Yao wasn’t a weak woman, and she had a quick temper, so she argued in anger. “Why can’t two people dine in a private room? I came and booked the last private room before you. Why should I give it to you just because you have more people?”
“Mind your attitude! Don’t humiliate yourself!” A man snapped at Shen Yao. He was obviously an arrogant good-for-nothing rich heir.
“Who do you think you are?” Shen Yao stared at him.
“You…” The man was mad at her tone. “Do you know who I am?”
He wanted to bully Shen Yao with his family’s influence and wealth. However, Shen Yao wasn’t afraid of him at all. She turned to look at the receptionist. “Is this your way of serving your customers? Shouldn’t you do something now?”
The receptionist opened her mouth at once. “Lord Yu, I’m sorry. This lady already booked the private room. Could you dine in the hall?”
Lord Yu was mad. “What? You know who I am so how dare you say that to my face?”
“Lord Yu, please don’t make it difficult for me,” said the receptionist. Their boss had told them to treat every customer fairly. Whoever first came, he or she should be first served.
“So what?” Lord Yu said in a very arrogant tone.
Right at this moment, a displeased male voice sounded behind them. “Lord Yu, why are you venting your anger on my staff member?”
Hearing the voice, Lord Yu was surprised and changed his attitude at once. “Uncle Li, I’m sorry. I just…”
The man was Li Minglang, and he was the owner of this mountain villa. He was in his fifties this year.
“Then what are you doing here, Lord Yu?” Li Minglang interrupted him.
“I…” Lord Yu didn’t know what to say now. He was a little afraid of Li Minglang, because Li Minglang was in a more important position than him, and was also older than him. He dared to shout here only because his father had a relationship with Li Minglang and because he also called Li Minglang Uncle Li.
“Lord Yu, please remember the rule in my place. First come, first served,” said Li Minglang.
“Of course,” said Lord Yu.
Li Minglang then ignored Lord Yu and apologized to Shen Yao. “Miss, I’m sorry. I hope your mood isn’t affected.”
“It’s fine,” said Shen Yao, then walked to the private room.
Lord Yu and his people felt embarrassed and left at once. Although Lord Yu was still displeased, he didn’t dare to act against Li Minglang. The Li family was his family’s most important business partner, and his father might beat him if he ruined their cooperation.

Shen Yao sat down in the private room and waited for Gu Ning’s arrival before they began to order.
During this time, Shen Yao took out her phone to read news about the capital.
In a few seconds, she read a lot of news about Gu Ning. Shen Yao was amazed, because she didn’t know that Gu Ning was famous.
Without delay, she read every piece of news about Gu Ning. The first news she read was about Gufan, and Shen Yao figured out that Gu Ning was a businesswoman.
After Shen Yao read many comments about Gu Ning, she was more curious about her. It turned out that Gu Ning was a celebrity admired by many people on the Internet.
She typed down Gu Ning’s name and searched for more information about her. After that, she was totally amazed.
Gu Ning was only 19, but she was already a billionaire! It was quite shocking.
About half an hour later, Gu Ning came.
When Gu Ning saw Shen Yao, Shen Yao was still wearing a mask. Gu Ning didn’t use her Jade Eyes to see Shen Yao’s face under the mask, because she would see it later since they were going to dine together. Besides, Shen Yao was a senior cultivator, and Gu Ning didn’t want to offend her.
“Hi, Miss Gu.” Shen Yao smiled at Gu Ning.
“Hi, Ms Shen,” said Gu Ning.
“Have a seat please,” said Shen Yao. “Here is the menu. Please order whatever you want.”
After that, Shen Yao rang the service bell.
“Thanks,” said Gu Ning with a smile. She took the menu and began to read it.
Before long, a waiter came, and both Shen Yao and Gu Ning ordered two dishes.
When the waiter was gone, Shen Yao said, “Miss Gu, I know you probably are wondering why I’m wearing a mask all the time. To be honest with you, there is a ugly scar on my face, and I don’t want to scare other people. Because we’re going to eat together, I have to take the mask off and I hope you won’t be scared.”
“Of course I won’t,” said Gu Ning. She had seen many scary scenes before, and wasn’t afraid of a scar at all.
Shen Yao nodded and felt relaxed. She knew that Gu Ning wasn’t an ordinary girl. After that, Shen Yao removed her mask and showed Gu Ning her real face.
