Xiao Yi was stunned by her cold gaze and stood rooted to the ground. She had only dared to speak ill of others behind their backs. Even if she chased the guests away, it was only because her heart was too arrogant for a moment. It was her first time doing it.
Now that Gu Yundong was looking at her, she felt inexplicably flustered.
Gu Yundong had already walked into the room. As expected, Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Yu sat on two sides and did not speak to each other.
Wei Lan persuaded them softly and poured them tea.
When they saw Gu Yundong enter, they immediately turned their heads away.
Just now, Wei Lan had already said that this person… was the owner of New Tea Pavilion.
They had met Madam Dai and Nie Shuang before. This was indeed the first time they had seen this Boss Gu, who was rumored to not even have come on the day of the opening.
Gu Yundong sat down in front of the two of them and smiled. “Alright, there’s no one else here. You can tell me what happened.”
Mrs. Tian was the first to speak. “Boss Gu, I’m not an unreasonable person. No one wants to cause trouble for New Tea Pavilion. It’s just that Mrs. Yu is too much. Not only did she occupy my position, but she also mocked me. Her words are too unpleasant.”
Mrs. Yu sneered. “What an interesting thing to say. That seat isn’t yours. If you hadn’t come to find trouble with me first, I wouldn’t have bothered with you.”
“But you’re usually on the second floor. You’re clearly…”
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, Gu Yundong waved her hand. “Stop. Since both of you think that you have a point, why don’t you listen to me?”
The two of them closed their mouths.
Gu Yundong smiled and said, “Mrs. Tian, every seat in New Tea Pavilion is prepared for all the guests. There is indeed no specific seat for anyone. Of course, I can understand that you come often and are already used to that seat. But Mrs. Tian, have you ever thought that you can change to another place and see other scenery? The second floor is not bad, and the rooms at the back are not bad either. You might not know this, but not to mention the second floor, even those rooms have their own scenery. If we change to a different one every day, when others ask about New Tea Pavilion later, Mrs. Tian will have something to say. Perhaps others will envy you, right?”
Mrs. Tian was a little unhappy when she heard her say that she was in the wrong.
The last sentence stunned her for a moment. A thought flashed through her mind. That’s right, not many people came to New Tea Pavilion. She could come every day because her husband held power and her dowry was generous.
The other sisters-in-law and concubines in the family, and even her mother-in-law, had only come twice.
In the future, when the family asked, her mother-in-law would tell them how spacious and novel the hall was, how sweet and delicious the milk tea was, and how delicious and fresh the snacks were.
After she finished speaking, no one would ask Mrs. Tian anymore.
If she went through all the places in New Tea Pavilion, wouldn’t she be surrounded like a star?
In the end, she was just being vain.
Seeing that she did not speak, Gu Yundong smiled and turned to look at another person. “Mrs. Yu, why aren’t you sitting on the second floor today?”
Mrs. Yu was stunned. Actually, she had been thinking about Gu Yundong’s words just now. They seemed to make sense.
Hearing her question, she glanced at Mrs. Tian and said, “I was originally on the second floor, but there was someone I didn’t like on the second floor today, so I came downstairs. There were many people downstairs at that time. It seems that that place is not bad.”
Who knew that Mrs. Tian often sat there? She usually came early and went straight to the second floor.
The corners of Gu Yundong’s mouth twitched. There are so many people who don’t get along with you.
